Chapter 646 Building a Spaceship

Spaceship? At the January conference, Zhang Wenliang proposed his own and the next plan for the empire. Of course, the imperial conference in the new era will definitely not be the ancient one; instead, everyone sat around the round table, the long round table extending more than 30 meters, and the tables were full of modern office equipment.

This proposal has received support from almost all the officials attending the meeting; you should know that before this, Zhang Wenliang raised funds everywhere to build; of course, he also expressed his support for everyone to build a country - even if you don’t have time, your descendants can do it! Anyway, the universe is so big!

"Your Majesty, do you have any preliminary ideas?" Chen Feng is now in the ranks. Of course, the imperial meetings will not be boring to chat and spank, and everyone has their own things to do. The new empire is full of vitality; for example, Chen Feng is now supervising several high-energy physics laboratories and particle colliders that have been approved. This time, for safety, efficiency, etc., the particle collider is built in space.

However, after all, Zhang Wenliang has an emperor, and he still needs to ask about the questions he should have. Not to mention anything else, his status is here; in theory, the entire Venus belongs to others!

"Professor Chen, don't joke. I don't understand these things very well. You can just look at the design. Well, but I really have some ideas. I think that after all, it is necessary to emigrate interstellarly in the universe, not the state when the earth went to Venus. So, I think first of all, the spacecraft should be big enough to allow many people to live in it and form a complete society. The people inside will not be lonely, and the inheritance of civilization will not be cut off.

Second, we must have sufficient materials. Whether it is energy, minerals, air, water, etc., we should achieve self-sufficiency in food and so on. After all, if we join us, we will head towards the T-star of the Whale sign, and it will take nearly 20 years to be the detector along the way. If the spacecraft is not only bulky, we must also consider the gravity that humans themselves bear. Maybe it will take 40 or even 60 years to arrive. And if the civilization there is more advanced, war is inevitable.

Therefore, the energy we provide must be calculated based on a century of calculation. Only nuclear fusion power stations can meet this. There must be enough war weapons.

In addition, considering the development of the new universe, various industrial constructions are inevitable. Therefore, modern factories, etc., must have at least one set. At least, it must meet the needs of new production and expansion.

With so many requirements, we have to raise a new challenge to us. That is, although this is an interstellar spacecraft, it should be an alternative artificial planet! There is a complete ecology here, which is at least enough to allow humans to live a healthy life.

The sun can be replaced by nuclear fusion power stations; a little soil is enough, and the rest can be replaced by soilless cultivation technology. With plant air, it should be fine, but basic food, clothing, housing and transportation must also be considered. Well, maybe it is necessary to recruit talents from the whole society. Such spacecraft is not only a test of imperial technology, but also a test of all levels of society.

By the way, another very important thing is: How about the name of this spaceship called "Civilization"? We have brought the dawn of civilization to the universe!"

Now everyone started to discuss it all over the place, but they were more excited. The name of the spacecraft was determined. As for some people, they said that the spacecraft was divided into levels, and more people said that it was not necessary yet, so there was no need to worry about the big cats and kittens. I don’t know what level of spacecraft will come out in the future. For the time being, it is enough to divide two levels: a spacecraft that can travel interstellarly and a spacecraft that can only travel within the star system. Setting the level too early is not conducive to future development - if there is a framework, it will inevitably confine your thoughts!

But as we discussed and discussed, we found a problem. What Your Majesty said was indeed correct. Building a spaceship is really a test of the empire! If we want to form a complete civilization, to have enough self-protection capabilities, etc., the spaceship must have everything that a complete society must have!

First of all, the population must be sufficient, otherwise a complete civilization cannot be formed - then 100,000 is required!

Secondly, each industrial system needs a group of elites who can directly complete the construction of alien planets. Some of them can indeed be replaced by robots; but as high-level leaders of the new era, everyone can better see the role of human beings and the shortcomings of robots. Therefore, workers need to be used as much as possible.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of humans and robots? It’s very simple: culture! Robots can meet factory needs; but the expansion of civilization must rely on humans themselves! Otherwise, even if a new civilization is available, it has little to do with humans.

There are many industries on Venus now. Even if each industry retains the minimum job demand, an industrial system will have a million people!!! Yes, this is an industrial system in the era of science and technology, not an ancient small workshop. On a small car, you may have materials from the earth, plastic parts from factory A, screws from factory B, and electronic equipment from factory C; while the production equipment from factory A may come from factory E, materials from factory F; the production equipment of factory E may come from factory G... This is a circle! But this is the modern industrial system, it is not an ancient small workshop, and a hundred people can support a complete system! A modern industrial system requires the support of the entire society! The earth had such a slogan back then: the population was less than 100 million, so there was no need to consider a complete industrial system! The reason is this! You can't even get enough basic industrial talents!

Secondly, we must meet medical and health, research-related food, environment and energy, etc.; as we all go, I will go... less than 5 million elites, and interstellar immigration cannot be developed. And it is impossible for all elites in society. Often, behind an elite, there may be two parents, and even a few children! Then, 5 million elites plus their immediate relatives, up to 20 million people, is not a dream... dream... fantasy!!! And there is also... what should I do if I have a child after more than 40 years of travel?

We need to develop a spacecraft that can carry 20 million people, it needs to carry a complete industrial system, it needs to be able to move forward quickly in the sky for at least 40 years! This is simply to build a legendary fortress! In particular, it is necessary to consider the birth of a new population within 40 years!

Sure enough, this is a challenge to Empire Technology! Compared with these requirements, the once proud spaceship is like a sampan! To meet all possibilities, this monster needs to have a diameter of 100 kilometers and a minimum of 80 kilometers!!! All the steel on Venus is now gathered together, but it cannot meet the needs of this monster!

The current situation is that Mercury cannot be developed too ruthlessly. It is necessary to maintain the balance of the solar system. The moon is the same as Mars. The asteroid belt has been basically cleared. After all, it is Io Io. As for Euro, it is now the core source of health products on Earth and Venus, and an important source of imperial income. However, dismantling Io is definitely enough! The diameter of the others is more than 3,600 kilometers, which is nearly 200 kilometers larger than the moon. With Io, it is enough to build thousands of spacecraft! In fact, Io has a lot of mineral resources!

Since there is no choice, let’s start!

Going out! It has become an inevitable path unless humans want to get into the solar system and then wait for other alien civilizations to come and tell themselves... Even if they are bastards, they will not choose this one!
Chapter completed!
