Chapter 297 Cabinet Deliberation
Although Zhu Lei is very confident in the technology of the Ming Empire, after all, the Ming Empire is no longer the great empire it was 20 years ago.

In the current Ming Empire, Zhu Lei is confident that he can defeat the same number of intermediate and elementary civilizations. However, there are only a few dozen spaceships in the Ming Empire that are truly capable of fighting. However, these spaceships do not have electromagnetic shields to resist the solar wind. In the case of solar wind, it is impossible to carry out long-distance voyages at all, and can only fight near the earth, which is very dangerous for the entire human race.
In the entire Ming Empire, there are only three research ships that are capable of long-distance travel and capable of combat, namely Pioneer, Explorer 2, and Explorer [-].

Although these three spaceships are used as scientific research ships, their combat power should not be underestimated, and their firepower is even stronger than that of real combat spaceships, but these three spaceships are not real combat spaceships after all. But other aspects are much weaker than military spaceships.

Moreover, these three spacecraft are still too small as military combat spacecraft, especially Explorer 2 and Explorer 3. Therefore, mankind must build a powerful space fleet in the next 5 to [-] years. Only in this way can mankind be protected. Or to protect the safety of the entire solar system.

For so many tasks, relying solely on the official military of the Ming Empire and Zhu Lei's efforts is far from enough. After all, building a powerful space fleet must consist of many warships, hundreds or even thousands of ships, or even more It is necessary to have a super large-scale warship.

And only relying on the efforts of Zhu Lei and the Ming Empire government, within 5 to 10 years
It is still possible to build dozens of warships, but if hundreds of thousands of space battleships are to be built, then Zhu Lei and the officials of the Ming Empire have no choice, so it is necessary to guide the private capital of the Ming Empire to participate in these projects. Especially for the mining of asteroid mineral resources.

However, for the space shipbuilding industry, Zhu Lei is more in favor of introducing private capital. After all, his personal power is too limited. As for the spaceship, he is more in favor of opening up.

After all, no matter what, he only needs to master core technologies such as energy technology and plasma propulsion technology, and he doesn't have to hold on to the rest. After all, he is not the same as he was 20 years ago.

He should not only consider his own personal interests, but also consider things from a higher perspective. After all, the entire earth now belongs to the Ming Empire. There is no need to worry about other countries stealing some of the manufacturing technology of the Ming Empire, especially the manufacturing technology of spaceships. There is also no need to worry about the spacecraft engines and various equipment sold by oneself being smuggled to other countries.

So Zhu Lei was there for a while after the Mars transformation plan demonstration meeting started, but after a while, he returned to the earth and came to the center of the Ming Empire, the cabinet, the military, the royal family and the royal family of the Ming Empire. Discuss this together.

After all, this matter is related to the interests of many people in the Ming Empire, and it is something he cannot easily make a decision on. Even the current Emperor of the Ming Empire has to discuss it with the cabinet of the Ming Empire before making a decision.

"What do you all think, express your opinion." Now the cabinet of the Ming Empire and the military, that is, the Ministry of War, have been replaced with new faces. After all, it has been more than 20 years.

So now in the center of the entire Ming Empire, except for the royal family and royal family members, there are basically no changes, and the government personnel are basically new faces. Among them, they have stepped down as the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Empire, and they have been the chief assistant for less than three years. As for the other members of the cabinet, the oldest member who entered the cabinet is only ten years old.

Although it is said that three years ago, after the current chief assistant of the cabinet succeeded to the throne, the term of each term of the cabinet will be changed from the original to ten years, and no more than three consecutive terms will be allowed. The maximum tenure shall not exceed 30 years.

Although 30 years is just a blink of an eye compared to the lifespan of human beings today, compared to the original, this is already a very long term. During such a long term, if you have the heart, you can do a lot for the entire Ming Empire thing.

"Okay! As the capital of the cabinet of the Ming Empire, let me express my opinion first. I am quite in favor of the prince's proposal. After all, this is not just an official matter of our empire, so it is also good for non-governmental forces to participate. This will greatly alleviate the situation. The pressure from our Ming Empire government, after all, is to transform Mars, and then to transform Venus, and to deal with alien civilizations that may come at any time.

To be honest, ever since I became the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Empire, I have never had a good night’s sleep in the past three years. I often wake up in the middle of the night. After all, human beings’ space power is too weak now. The empire built several space cannons in lunar orbit, and deployed many defensive weapons in the nearby starry sky, but in fact, everyone knows it.

We can only defend the airspace near the earth now. If it is farther away, we are really powerless now. After all, our previous resistance to the solar wind is too small.

Although we have now successfully developed electromagnetic shields that can effectively resist solar wind damage to spacecraft, these old electromagnetic shields cannot be installed at all. Even if these old-fashioned spacecraft are to be modified, it is very difficult Troublesome, after all, the generating device that generates the electromagnetic shield must be installed in the center of the entire spacecraft and must be connected end to end.

In other words, if you want to transform a newly built spaceship, you must dismantle half of the spaceship, then install the generator, and then reinstall the dismantled part.

It can be said that such a cost is even higher and takes longer than building a new spaceship, and the combat effectiveness is simply incomparable compared with building a new spaceship.

So no matter what, the human space fleet must be built first. Even if the Mars plan is postponed, the space fleet must be built first. Without the protection of the space fleet, if alien civilization comes, the entire human race will be destroyed. We are exposed to the muzzle of alien civilization. Therefore, if we do not want to become the sinners of the entire human race, then the construction of the space fleet must be carried out as soon as possible. I have a hunch in my heart that it will not exceed 15 years at the latest. , alien civilization will definitely come to the solar system, so there is not much time left for us, we must race against time. "The chief minister of the Ming Empire's cabinet said to everyone.
