Chapter 300 Space Mining Ship

Moreover, in the previous week's cabinet meeting, the Ming Empire's restriction on Zhu Lei not being involved in civilian industries was also canceled, but it was not completely cancelled. In civilian industries, it can only involve various industries in space, while on planetary It cannot be involved in the various civilian industries in the Mars. Even if the transformation of Mars is completed in the future, it cannot be involved in the civilian industries inside.

Although it is said that Zhu Lei is not allowed to participate in the affairs of the planet, Zhu Lei actually doesn't care about the various civilian industries in the planet. After all, he already has a company operating the various civilian industries in the planet. This company is a royal property in name, but in essence he still has an absolute controlling stake. Although the company has undergone various changes in the past ten years, he now only owns 51% of the shares, but this cannot be changed. The fact that he has an absolute controlling stake.

After all, his 51% of the shares are concentrated in his hands, and the other 49% of the shares are not only the royal family and the royal family, but also the shares of the nobles, businessmen and civilians, so this company is actually The owner is still him.

So it doesn't matter if he doesn't participate in the civilian industry on the planet. After all, if his current Yong'an Group participates, then the survival of this company will become a problem, and the existence of this company also solves the problem of the great Ming Empire on the planet. part of the contradiction.

After all, Zhu Lei, who eats meat, has to share some soup with others. If the food is too ugly, then it will be too hated.

As for the space industry, since the pigsty has opened the right to purchase plasma thrusters and anti-gravity engines, this is actually tantamount to giving its shipbuilding companies a sip of soup.

After announcing the release of the right to buy plasma propulsion and anti-gravity engines, Zhu Lei's shipbuilding factory on the moon also launched a new spaceship program. In addition to military ships, Zhu Lei also launched special-purpose ships this time. Spaceship project.

Among them, the space mining ship is one of many projects, and this is also a very important project. After all, as human beings get deeper and deeper into space, human beings will rely more and more on space resources in the future, and this A large number of space mining ships and space transport ships are needed.

In the past, no matter whether it was the military of the Ming Empire or Zhu Lei himself's Yong'an Group, they all focused on military ships and passenger spaceships, so until now there are still very few large cargo spaceships in the Ming Empire, and space mining ships There is not even a single one so far, so most of the space mining ships launched this time have a tonnage of more than 10 tons.

However, Zhu Lei did not manufacture the cargo spacecraft, because the cargo spacecraft is now manufactured by the state-owned spaceship shipbuilding company of the Ming Empire, and its tonnage exceeds 50 tons, which are classified as second-level spacecraft.

This time, Zhu Lei's spacecraft research and development center has designed a total of three space mining ships, the largest of which is the above-mentioned space mining ship with a tonnage of more than 10 tons.

The smallest tonnage is less than 500 tons, and it is not even a spaceship. It can only be regarded as a space mining aircraft. Although this spaceship has the smallest tonnage, it is actually the largest space mining ship at present. .

This ultra-small space mining ship is also equipped with an electromagnetic shield generator, which can defend against the attack of the solar wind on the space mining ship, and the energy it uses is the same as that of ordinary spaceships before.

The tonnage of this kind of mining ship itself is about 480 tons, and the length is less than 50 meters. A powerful plasma thruster capable of pulling ore a thousand times its own mass.

In other words, this spaceship itself is less than 50 meters in size and weighs only about 480 tons, but it can drag about 48 tons of ore. It can be said that this is already a very amazing data.

And the speed of this spacecraft is not slow. Without cargo, this spacecraft can reach 0.2% of the speed of light at the fastest, which is about 600 kilometers per second. This speed is already very amazing. After all, the size of this spaceship is only so large. This kind of space mining ship can only mine in the asteroid belt at the farthest, and it can't even go out to the outer reaches of the solar system, let alone mining outside the solar system.

However, due to the very small size of this space mining ship, it can be carried as a sub-ship of a large space mining ship.

The second type of space mining ship has a tonnage of about 1 tons and a length of about 150 meters. This type of space mining ship is equipped with ordinary nuclear power equipment, which can charge the batteries on the spaceship. It can also drag about a thousand times its own weight, which means that this space mining ship can drag about 1000 million tons of ore.

The last type of space mining ship is the aforementioned 10-ton space mining ship. The length of this space mining ship must exceed 200 meters. This space mining ship uses controllable nuclear fusion technology and plasma thrusters. The technology is mixed, so the power of this space mining ship is quite strong. It can drag more than 10 times its own weight. That is to say, a 10-ton mining ship can drag a weight of [-] billion tons of asteroids.

However, the last type of space mining ship, due to the immature technical conditions and the controllable nuclear fusion technology has not yet been completed, at least it will take three months to start manufacturing, and the time required for manufacturing is at least half a year, that is to say. At the very least, the spaceship will not enter the sight of everyone in the Ming Empire until September next year.

However, the other two space mining ships are different. There are no technical problems now, so construction can start immediately.Moreover, the first space mining ship takes a very short time from the start of construction to the completion. After all, the shipyard of Zhu Lei's space vehicle research and development center is very advanced, and all the positions in it have been replaced by robots, so the efficiency Very high, for such a spaceship of less than 20 tons, his shipyard can complete all the manufacturing within ten days. Compared with [-] years ago, this speed is simply amazing. Even the current Ming Empire There is no other shipyard that can compare with the shipyard of the Space Vehicle Development Center.

Even a [-]-ton space mining ship can be manufactured within a month.

However, due to the limited shipbuilding bays of the spacecraft development center, only two shipbuilding bays can be freed up to manufacture space mining ships. After all, apart from space mining ships, the space vehicle development center still has many plans to carry out, especially This is absolutely indispensable for the manufacture of military spacecraft.
