Zhaicheng Space Center.

Zhang Zhai stopped right in front of the rocket building. He raised his head and looked at the "rocket head" that seemed to be piercing the sky. He couldn't help but smile on his face.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Zhai found Academician Gan Xiaohua in the laboratory.

Gan Xiaohua's already sparse hair looked messy at this time, some lying on her back and some sticking up. It was messy and artistic, which made Zhang Zhai couldn't help but smile.

But looking at the deep dark circles under Academician Gan Xiaohua's forehead and the deep dark circles around his eyes, Zhang Zhai's smile faded and he could no longer laugh.

"Dean Gan, you still have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Look at the dark circles under your eyes, they are so heavy. Although research is important, your body is more important, so there is no need to work so hard." Zhang Zhai stepped forward and persuaded,

Academician Gan Xiaohua raised his head and saw that it was Zhang Zhai. Thinking about his words again, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, why do these words sound so awkward when they come out of your mouth? If you compare your efforts, I, an old man, really can't compare to you. I fell into coma twice a day and caused bleeding from all my orifices. This record, I

I guess no one can break it yet."

"Ahem, that's a special situation." Zhang Zhai smiled awkwardly.

"Yes, that is a special situation, but now look in the mirror and see the dark circles around your eyes." Academician Gan Xiaohua put down the experiment in his hands, looked at Zhang Zhai, and then said with a smile.

Zhang Zhai shook his head, simply changed the topic, and said straight to the point: "Academician Gan. I came here this time mainly to find out how the anti-gravity spacecraft is being built."

"The main exterior design has been completed and has entered the production stage. At the same time, the design of the interior of the spacecraft is also in progress." Academician Gan Xiaohua replied.

"How long is it expected to take before the anti-gravity spacecraft can be designed and produced?"

"It is tentatively estimated that it should be completed around the National Day."

"It's almost July now, which means it will take about three more months?"

Gan Xiaohua nodded.

Zhang Zhai lowered his head and thought for a moment.

Suddenly he raised his head, looked at Academician Gan Xiaohua and said, "Academician Gan, please take me to see the Hou Yi."

"Okay." Academician Gan Xiaohua nodded.

…

Houyi is the name of this anti-gravity spacecraft.

The name Hou Yi means that Hou Yi is looking for Chang'e.

According to myths and legends, Chang'e took the elixir and flew to the moon. As her husband, Houyi went to look for her now.

Chang'e flew to the moon, Hou Yi chased his wife.

…

Take the elevator from the minus 10th floor to the plus 12th floor.

On the 12th floor, the entire floor forms a very large workshop. This floor is equivalent to the height of the other five floors.

The main part of the spacecraft will be completed here, and other parts will be assembled here.

When Zhang Zhai and Academician Gan Xiaohua got out of the elevator, they saw the Hou Yi ship coming into view.

It is so huge that it directly occupies half of the entire floor. The bottom area is estimated to be as large as a basketball court.

"Mr. Zhang, this is the main body of the Houyi. It is in the shape of a hemisphere as a whole, with a flat circular bottom surface and a spherical top. The bottom area is 380 square meters, the diameter is 11 meters, and the height is 9 meters.

The whole is divided into two layers, the upper layer is mainly used to load robots, and the lower layer is mainly used to load materials and equipment needed to build a lunar base."

Zhang Zhai listened to Gan Xiaohua's description while looking at the scene in front of him.

In the factory, Terminator robots and human engineers collaborate to complete this behemoth.

In fact, at this time, the production of the Houyi had not taken shape at all, and only its basic frame or keel could be barely seen.

But even this rough basic framework is enough to shock people.

He has already sketched out the basic shape of the Houyi spacecraft.

The whole thing is like a hemisphere lying flat, but this sphere is not regular, and the middle is very high, standing there like a mountain peak.

Its bottom area is 380 square meters. What is the concept? It is equivalent to the area of ​​​​this villa.

A spaceship is as big as a villa and as high as three stories.

An ordinary person standing in front of him looked very small.

Terminators and engineers walked back and forth next to the skeleton, like a mountain and a person looking up at the top of the mountain.

Such an area, so huge, is more than enough to accommodate five hundred people, let alone five hundred robots.

"Academician Gan, have you calculated the dead weight and full load weight of the spacecraft?"

"After calculation, the dead weight of the spacecraft is about 823 tons. If it is fully loaded with 500 Terminator robots, it will increase the weight by 25 tons. Add in the other equipment and materials that need to be carried to build the preliminary base, and then consider the energy that needs to be carried for the Terminator robots. The total

The weight may exceed 900 tons." After saying this, Professor Gan Xiaohua had a worried look on his eyebrows.

"The rockets currently owned by the United States and Russia have a maximum load capacity of 100 tons, but the total weight of our spacecraft this time is more than nine times that. I am a little worried, Mr. Zhang, whether your anti-gravity box has such a large load-bearing capacity." Gan Xiaohua

Ask your questions clearly.

Zhang Zhai smiled and shook his head, "Academician Gan, you are still a bit too conservative. I originally thought that the Hou Yi would exceed 2,000 tons, but I didn't expect that it would not even reach 1,000 tons."

"As for the load-carrying capacity of the anti-gravity box, I have already said that in a sense, its load-carrying capacity is unlimited. As long as the energy is sufficient, it can even carry tens of thousands of tons, hundreds of thousands of tons, or even millions of tons.

weight.

He is enough to support our space dream."

Academician Gan Xiaohua frowned when he heard this. He was thinking and pondering. Suddenly he raised his head suddenly, stared at Zhang Zhai and said: "If this is the case, we might as well change the plan and change the anti-gravity spacecraft to a nuclear-powered anti-gravity spacecraft."

Gravity spacecraft, use nuclear power to power the anti-gravity box, and then we expand the entire spacecraft again!”

Nuclear power here refers to nuclear fission rather than nuclear fusion.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhai looked at Academician Gan Xiaohua and couldn't help but smile.

"Academician Gan, you are more anxious than me."

"As people get older and time is running out, they tend to want to reach the sky in one go." Gan Xiaohua said with a smile.

Zhang Zhai did not directly answer whether it was okay, but walked slowly from the elevator entrance to the Hou Yi.

In front of him, within easy reach was the Hou Yi frame. He stretched out his hand and touched it.

Then he said without looking back: "Okay, this time the requirement will be upgraded to be able to carry 1,000 Terminator robots... or more."

"Okay!" Gan Xiaohua agreed firmly.

"It's just that if we overthrow it and start over again, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. Mr. Zhang, aren't you afraid that the United States will take the first place? In this moon landing craze, will you be the first to land on the moon again?" Gan Xiaohua joked.

said.

"Is it interesting to go to the moon like a show?" Zhang Zhai shook his head and didn't care.

"We have won from the beginning. Even if the United States can land on the moon first again, it will definitely lose."

Gan Xiaohua smiled. He also understood that Zhang Zhai's moon landing plan was different from other countries' moon landing plans.

Other countries are really going to the moon, but Zhang Zhai... is colonizing.

"However, I still want to know an accurate time, Academician Gan, when do you think it will take until the anti-gravity spacecraft can be completely completed!"

"Before the end of the year, at least the end of December!"

Academician Gan Xiaohua thought for a moment and made a simple calculation.
Chapter completed!
