Chapter 236 Colonial Ship
Author: Baiyun fluttering
"By the way, there is no problem with the technology of manufacturing such a giant colonial ship and the supporting colonial fleet, right?" Sai then asked uneasy.
"No." The chief engineer of the Solar System Fleet explained: "Actually, this is a traditional planet-class spacecraft, and the cost will be much lower than the high-speed star-class spacecraft."
"As for manufacturing a spaceship with industrial production capabilities, it is not difficult. The former Star Destroyer Strike Group had strong industrial production capabilities. As long as it can capture meteorites, the Star Destroyer Strike Group can fly forever."
"Compared to a Star Destroyer with stellar navigation capabilities, it is much less difficult to build this kind of colonial ship. Of course, considering the tonnage issue, its engineering volume is larger than that of a Star Destroyer."
"According to your requirements, the cost of a colony ship is about 1.1 times that of a Star Destroyer. Considering that if the technology matures in the future, it will even cost less than a Star Destroyer."
"Understood, then I require the Solar System Fleet to build 10 colonial ships within 4 years and send all the initial 100 million immigrants to Jupiter on World 3." Sai ordered.
"So you hope that the population of Jupiter's economic circle will exceed 100 million within four years?" asked the President of the Solar System Fleet.
"It's more than 100 million, because the colonial ships that went there first will achieve some results, such as building forward bases and space cities, etc., so more immigrants will go there."
"But roughly speaking, it is this. I plan to have the population of Jupiter's economic circle exceed 700 million within ten years, and to have a population of 5 billion within half a century."
"At the same time, after the success of the Jupiter economic circle is achieved, the area around the first colonial ships must be industrial centers. At this time, let those colonial ships develop the Saturn economic circle."
"I require this process to be completed within 20 years. Within 20 years, the Solar System Fleet must not only start building the Jupiter economic circle, but also start the construction of the Saturn economic circle." Say explained.
"Understood Marshal, we will soon start the construction of colonial ships." People in the conference room said one after another.
Shortly after Say issued the request, the Solar System Fleet had already designed a blueprint for the colony ship and planned to start construction of the colony ship immediately.
According to the plan of the Solar System Fleet, they will build 5 colony ships at the same time. In 2 years, 5 colony ships will be completed, and then in another two years, 5 more colony ships will be completed.
As for the follow-up arrangements for the Solar System Fleet, they have not been made yet. If the previous batch is successful, then the Solar System Fleet plans to build 50 colony ships to prepare for future development.
The giant colony ship headed by it is the core of the colonial fleet. The fleet composed of it and hundreds of planet-class spacecraft will be responsible for the mission of developing the new world.
In the 14th year of the Deterrence Era, the first batch of colonial ships and their supporting spacecraft were completed near the earth. At this time, the solar system fleet had a total of 5 colonial fleets.
However, the remaining four fleets are still undergoing debugging work. Only the No. 1 colonial fleet is ready and can set off to the new world at any time.
The only work that needs to be done is to transport the passengers and various supplies and fuel into the colony ship. This work can be completed within a few days.
Therefore, Say specially came to visit with the highest level of the Star Alliance. At this time, the colony ship was waiting quietly in a super space dock. At this time, a huge amount of construction machinery was surrounding it for final inspection.
Not to mention the behemoths inside the space dock, just by looking at the super space dock from a distance, everyone can feel the shock from the bottom of their hearts.
This super space dock was originally used to produce multiple Star Destroyers at the same time. Its total mass is hundreds of millions of tons, and its energy consumption is no less than dozens of times that of the ancient world. If such a giant machine is placed on the earth, it will be destroyed.
Instantly crushed.
The giant colonial ship in the dock is even more spectacular. In front of it, the spaceship Sai boarded is as inconspicuous as a fly next to an elephant.
It looks similar to a Star Destroyer. This is still a super giant rectangular spacecraft, but it is not equipped with strategic main guns.
The commander of Colonial Fleet No. 1 is named Jianguo T. He is the mayor of a large space city in the Solar System Fleet. He once participated in the sword bearer election and was the sword bearer with the third highest number of votes.
"Hello, Marshal Sai, welcome. I am Jianguo T, Commander of the No. 1 Colonial Fleet." The other party was a European man in a suit.
"Please introduce this colony ship." Sai asked.
"Okay Marshal." Jianguo T nodded and said: "The tonnage of the giant colonial ship Lianka is 1.17 billion tons. Its volume is equivalent to 8,000 giant aircraft carriers. It is 5 kilometers in length, 1.5 kilometers in height, and 1.5 kilometers in width."
"The colonial ship has 8 refrigerant engines and 1 planetary engine, but it uses deuterium instead of heavy elements as fusion fuel, and its maximum speed can reach one thousandth of the speed of light."
"As for the shipboard computer, it is the latest generation of super quantum computer. This level of quantum computer has 100,000 qubits, and there are dozens of quantum computer centers on the ship that control engineering equipment."
"The colony ship has the most advanced ecological circulation system and industrial production base inside, which can operate for centuries if resources are available, and meet the industrial needs of the initial development of Jupiter."
Then T Jianguo took them into the living area inside the colonial ship. At this moment, all the internal buildings of the ship have been completed, and they support the space like pillars.
Basically all the space in the residential area is occupied by the buildings inside the spacecraft, and the remaining space is just the streets connecting the buildings, so it seems very cramped.
The building located in a gravity-free environment is not a traditional tree-shaped building, but a pillar directly connecting the residential areas.
There is no electronic screen or holographic projection equipment on the surface of this building, or even any decoration, just like a silver-white aluminum lunch box.
Each building can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and has a series of resident facilities such as shops, schools, canteens, and parks.
It can be said that a building like this is a condensed city. People can be self-sufficient in the building without leaving their homes.
However, considering the large number of people, the inside of the building is as cramped as the outside. Residential facilities such as parks inside have been extremely compressed to save space as much as possible.
The residential areas on each floor are like countless closely arranged grids. Even the toilets are public, and unmarried people can only live in eight-person dormitories.
Married people will be assigned a ten-square-meter room, where a family of three or four people can squeeze in. The only advantage is that there is a toilet inside the room.
