Half-immortal civilization

The time hastened to January 2051; half a month has passed since the last grand wedding of the master company, but the world still hasn't cooled down.

This is called the most luxurious and happiest wedding, and let the world see what real luxury is.What is a luxury car? They are directly hundreds of space shuttles. There are tens of thousands of participants from all over the world. According to official statistics, up to 40 billion blessings have been received before and after!
This is an insurmountable peak at this stage.Perhaps in the future, when human beings grow large enough, this data will be refreshed; but at least for now, it is impossible to surpass it.

However, today's master company is not immersed in the joyful atmosphere, but has resolutely entered a more tense and busy stage.Because, after a long period of preparation, the Adventure spacecraft is finally completely completed!

Space development is even more time-consuming, because other countries and federations are also rapidly expanding.Through the sale of engines, top materials, etc., master companies and countries have obtained abundant raw materials all over the world; but this approach also provides a strong impetus for the development of foreign countries-engines!

Therefore, in recent years, although foreign countries have not mastered the core engine technology, they have developed very rapidly through the indirect support of expert companies here.The Eastern European Federation, which has the closest cooperation with China, already has more than 500 space shuttles of various types, of which 100 are jet engines using rocket engines developed by themselves; the remaining 400 are all using the technology of master companies of.

And under the pressure of China, these countries are also expanding rapidly. In this space age, even if they have spared their wealth, they must build a space base!A real space base suitable for ordinary people to live in.This is not only technical, but also meaningful.In this era, a real space base suitable for ordinary people to live for a long time is of great significance!And such a base, according to calculations, must be at least 30 meters in diameter and 5 meters in thickness.

It’s just that with the dazzling jewel of the New Continent space base built by the master company in front, and the 50-meter base planned by the American Federation behind, the Eastern European Federation, which is fairly self-conscious, decided to build a slightly larger one with a diameter of — — Uh, 51 meters!
This is actually pure space racing!
But sometimes some competition has to be done!Because this can condense the will of the newly established Federation people and help the Federation maintain a healthy development mentality.This is the Cold War, it is not a question of whether you are willing or not, but you have to participate, unless you want to be decadent!

However, the American Federation, a federation centered on the United States, is not a gentleman; it just so happens that the space base has just been planned and has not yet been implemented; seeing the slap in the face of the Eastern European Federation, the American Federation immediately decided: build 80 m space base!As far as your small federation is concerned, the area is less than 500 million square kilometers, so you should keep up and try again!
Don't underestimate the difference between one meter and two meters in the space base. For every additional meter, the cost price will basically increase by more than [-]%.Because in order to satisfy the construction of space bases, it is necessary to build corresponding space photovoltaic bases, mobilize corresponding enough personnel, and mobilize enough social resources...

Originally, the space competition was already tense enough; but this time, due to the influence of the master company's wedding, too many national leaders saw the strong posture of the space base with their own eyes; The six space bases of the six federations around the world basically passed the review at the same time and started to implement it.

Affected by the domestic economy, technology, etc., the space bases that each federation plans to build vary in size.The American Federation is the largest with a diameter of 80 meters and a thickness of 20 meters; the Eastern European Federation is second with a diameter of 60 meters and a thickness of 18 meters; the Western European Federation is third with a diameter of 50 meters and a thickness of 15 meters; Russia is fourth with a diameter of 50 meters and a thickness of 14 meters; The Arab-Central Asian Federation is fifth, with a diameter of 50 meters and a thickness of 12 meters; the last is the African Federation, which has always belonged to the poor corner of the world, with a diameter of only 30 meters and a thickness of 10 meters.

It's just that the difference from the master company is that these space bases are all solid, and none of them have indicated that they will vacate the center position-that is really a luxury!

That is to say, under such intense competition, the master company still cannot relax even after the collective wedding, and everyone still needs to work overtime.But no one complained.The company has already paid too much for them. A space wedding is spread equally to every couple, and it is also a standard of more than one billion yuan.Not to mention, what an honor it must be for leaders from all over the world to come to congratulate!

But now the busy Master employees are working with confidence and enthusiasm, because they are doing the final inspection of the Adventure spaceship.This is mankind's first manned space exploration spacecraft!Maybe he is ugly and a bit shabby now; but it is undeniable that it is also excellent, and it will once again push the reputation of the master company to the peak.

The Adventure spacecraft currently docked on the ground is preparing for final repairs after continuous space operations.At the beginning of production, many places were not considered in place; after experiencing this asteroid capture program, many problems were exposed.For example, the lack of devices to detect the solar wind, the lack of necessary manual control devices, the lack of sealed spare electronic equipment, and sufficient devices to prevent too many small debris rocks in space, etc., because the speed is too fast to see, this requires the spacecraft to must It has excellent protection ability-but now when human beings mention protection ability, there is only one way: armor!

This defense method started from the ancient state of Chu and has continued to modern times; for the time being, there is still no other technology that can replace it.

All ten compartments of the Adventure spacecraft were transported back to the ground by the Rising space shuttle and are undergoing major repairs.

In addition, two more cabins have been added to the previously planned ten cabins.One is filled with fully stored batteries; the other is filled with all kinds of satellite equipment provided by the satellite department chaired by Wang Nannan.There are more than 3000 nano-satellites in it, which will be the first step of Gaoshou's Sky Eye plan: to spread Gaoshou's satellites in space.

Liu Haibo strolled around the work site of the Adventure spacecraft. There is no need to think about the industrial work site, except for the noise.There was the sound of steel crashing, grinding, welding, and the loud roar of machinery.

The workers are busy without touching the ground, while the engineers are constantly checking the progress of the work.

A welded piece of special steel armor with a width of ten meters and a length of 50 meters was hoisted up and gently leaned against the spaceship cabin, followed by noisy sounds.Here's the factory adding armor to the spaceship Adventure.

"Hey, Captain Liu. Why are you a busy person here?" Li Guoyi, the general manager in charge of modification here, saw Liu Haibo wandering around, and immediately came out to greet him.This is a person at the vice president level of a master company.

"Haha, Li Gong, I'm sitting in the center of my home and itching. You don't know, I'm anxious when I don't see this big guy for a while. Thinking about the launch in a few days, and real space exploration, I can't help myself."

This Li Guoyi, Liu Haibo dare not underestimate, is Dongfangying's chief engineer who is directly responsible for the construction of the spacecraft. Although he is not at the level of vice president of the master company, he is also one of the people closest to the level of vice president.

"Ha, okay, welcome to visit, and welcome to correct the shortcomings. There are still a few days before the real departure. I really envy you."

"I don't dare to correct my shortcomings, but I will miss you if I don't see you for a while. In addition, you don't have to worry; according to the company's current development speed, it is estimated that in a few years everyone will be eligible to travel to space, and it will become commonplace. Besides, at the wedding years ago, didn't you see space, it was dark, and there was nothing..."

"It's really nothing." Li Guoyi agreed, "Why don't we switch?"

"Ah, hehehe, I can't do technical work." Liu Haibo was thick-skinned, and then under the leadership of Li Guoyi, he began to observe the entire construction and modification process.

"Captain Liu, look, what we are welding is the latest composite material developed by Master Company, which is made of ceramic, carbon fiber, steel and other composite armor. Although it is only 20 cm thick, ordinary rail guns cannot penetrate it. .

It can be said that with this layer of tortoise shell, as long as you don't play blind dates with big meteorites, your absolute safety can basically be guaranteed.

But Captain Liu, there is something I've always wanted to tell you, you'd better pull all your boys over here to learn.There are no factories in space to repair; and sometimes certain accidents must be dealt with decisively.And how to deal with it requires a detailed understanding of the cabin of the spacecraft.There is still half a month left, I think your training is almost done, you should learn a bit.

After all, space is not the ground, and you can only save yourself if you encounter problems.And the space is weird, we don't know what kind of danger is waiting for us ahead. "

"Okay, thank you. But if these boys are too active at that time, you can take more care of them."

"Hey, be active? It doesn't matter, ever since I entered the Void Core Stage, I've been wanting to find someone to do it!"

"...This is your real purpose!!!" Liu Haibo's head was full of black lines.

On January 2015, 1, Gaoshou Company held a grand ceremony, not only all employees of Gaoshou Company participated, even some media were allowed to enter.

Liu Haibo stood at the front, wearing a white space suit: "Today, we are about to set off. As the pioneers of mankind, we will carry the blessings and visions of the people of the whole country to open up a great space age for the great Chinese nation. For this reason, even if I die nine times, I will not regret it!"

"Nine deaths but no regrets!" Hundreds of astronauts in uniform shouted in unison.

clap clap clap...

120 people walked towards the Rising Space Shuttle with neat steps; while the huge lifting machinery next to it had already hoisted the huge cabins of 12 spaceships and put them into the Rising Space Shuttle with its back opened.

After nearly a year of training, the 20 selected stars have initially possessed the ability to survive in space.And the pilots of the master company are the elites in the business.

It's just that there are 20 actresses in spacesuits, because they wear masks, no one knows who they are, and even because of the spacesuits, they cannot judge males and females.There are some things that master companies still cannot make public.

The airport in the vast Manluzhong stretches for more than five miles, and there is no end in sight. The 12 rising space shuttles built by a master company with all their efforts are ready to go.More Dream and Explorer planes nearby have already started warming up and preparing for escort.

Although it is not the first time to see the Rise taking off, but the 12 Rise take off together still makes everyone excited.

Violent shocks erupted in the sky, and the strong shock waves made the earth tremble; some people couldn't even stand under the huge sound and shock waves; but more people were cheering.

With the dream of all mankind, the first manned spaceship of mankind has officially set off!
