Spore Story

Chapter 842 Space Journey: Space Shipyard

==========
Even though the Freedom class has a hull of more than 100 meters long, the interior space is not spacious.

In the entire hull, the induction gravity engine, several gun turrets, and their attached energy supply equipment alone take up more than half of the space inside the ship.In addition, after removing the protective layer, electronic equipment, etc., there is very little room for people to move.

Therefore, taking into account the psychological factors of the personnel, the design duration of the free-class battle is only one month, which is far lower than the design duration of the airship in the atmosphere.

The problem is that the space warships need to fight in the universe, generally much longer than the warships in the atmosphere.

Therefore, after the completion of the universe factory, the first construction project in the plan is a space supply ship with a very wide internal space and sufficient entertainment facilities.In addition, the future friends also plan to build a large space station between the earth and the moon for transfer.Of course, this is just a plan, whether it will be successful or not depends on the development of the Friends War.

At this time, recalling these illusions, he was awakened by a tremor.

Blinking his bewildered eyes, he found that the somewhat dim interior of the ship began to flicker with red light, and most of the electronic equipment had stopped working.Judging from the situation, there is probably only one 1E-level artificial brain-commanded life-support device in the entire Liberty at this time. This is not an attack or something, but a simple indication of the impending launch.

"Please fix your body on the chair, pay attention to relax, and don't feel any tension."

"Isn't there an armrest on the side of the seat? If you are worried, please grab the armrest. It is made of the latest No. [-] alloy, and you don't have to worry about scratching it."

"Attention everyone, the orbiter is about to start. When you check the safety device for the last time at this moment, you can recall whether you have enough belongings. It will be rare to come back this time. Of course, even if you don't bring enough, there is nothing you can do."

"..."

The words of some funny control center correspondents filled the entire bridge with black lines, but in this way, the tension of many people was greatly reduced.

It's not empty fantasy here where one person is nervous. Among the crew, it is said to be the space army, but in fact, the friends have not established a real space training mechanism. The space combat and driving simulation they experience are all from the fantasy world.The real space academy is still under planning, and now it has only established ground training and illusion training.

Finally, the long-prepared spacecraft began to move forward slowly, and its huge body was transported from the launch area to the orbit.

Finally, Kong Huan swept across the outside world with his mental power.

There were only a few Youshen who were resident on the island to see him off before, and they were supposed to be responsible for the safety of the launch.As for 8051 and the others, they are too busy, so they just left some comments before.It is said that recently Xiao 8 and Shuangyue Loli are busy integrating the overall physique of the planet with the will of the planet.Once successful, they will be able to more easily control changes in the terrain, waters, and even climate inside the planet.

This sounds very unreal, and Kong Huan didn't intend to understand it, so he just treated it like eating. At most, Xiao 8 and the others may have taken a little longer to eat this time.

"The countdown to the final launch, 10, 9..."

……

The construction of the cosmic factory is very cumbersome, especially the construction of a low-orbit mass object like Pengzu. In a way, this cosmic factory that stays at an altitude of 350 kilometers is actually A huge spaceship, because it is equipped with anti-gravity engines, and a control bridge.

And in terms of design, it is similar to the giant cargo ship that Konghuan saw on the floating island in the space center before.

Of course, that's about it.

The cosmic factory of Pengzu is actually a system, subdivided into many areas and functional modules, and the largest single module is not much larger than the Liberty when folded, otherwise it cannot be launched through the orbiter.

After the completion half a month ago, the space factory has begun to lay the skeleton of the first spaceship. The materials are all transported from the ground orbiter. It is only responsible for an assembly task. The shadow of the factory with a length of more than 600 meters finally stabilized at a distance of 130 kilometers from it, and when it began to correct its posture, the supply ship in the factory was also undergoing final decoration and line adjustments.

Three hours later, Liberty finally landed firmly outside the factory. After being fixed by the brackets on the diamond-shaped factory shell, she began to accompany the factory to fly around the double moon star like a petal with the factory as its stamen.

Amidst the sound of heavy electric motors turning, the hatch connecting Liberty to the universe factory opened, and Kong Huan, who was standing at the front, controlled his body, and instead of moving with thoughts like flying in the atmosphere, he stretched out his hand to hold the handrail in the corridor novelty , and then exerted a little force, and the body really moved forward as in memory.

It's just that there is no point of focus, and the feeling that the body is floating up and down... how to put it, it's not that comfortable.

Shaking his head and throwing these weird thoughts aside, Kong Huan reached out his hand to hold the energy body who was arranged as the director of the universe factory in front of him, and after being slightly dragged by the opponent, he stayed firmly on the deck.

"Welcome Elder Kong Huan, I'm not used to it for the first time in the weightless universe, haha, it will get better after a long time."

"Indeed, but it's a novel feeling, not bad." Kong Huan replied.

Behind him, Yue Yong, who was assigned as the captain of the Liberty, then stepped forward to shake hands with the factory manager.On the other side, the scene from the opening of the cabin door to the present is clearly recorded through the eyes of several friends, and then these records will be engraved in the memory crystal through these friends, and finally through the spiritual power communication device Sent to the ground, it becomes the material and historical archives of network news.

In fact, the completion of this series of steps only takes a few seconds.

That is to say, at this moment, everyone in the Friends Network on the ground can learn about the welcome of the Space Factory to the Liberty and Elder Void through the Internet.

This move can be regarded as another action of the publicity strategy of the Pengzu Presbyterian Home, which aims to further strengthen the public's recognition of the development of space, and at the same time enhance everyone's yearning for the universe.At the very least, it is also necessary to let people have the idea of ​​"our friends are still very strong" under the subtle influence, so that they can have full confidence in the future.

This is the main purpose of the House of Elders.

"Then, everyone should take a break first, and make the next arrangement after six hours."

Looking back at the crew members who left the Liberty and boarded the factory one after another, Kong Huan ordered so.However, it seems that these guys have achieved very good training results, so that they only reacted a little to Void's order, and turned their heads to look at their captain more. After Captain Yueyong nodded, the crowd continued Disperse.

"Haha, Yueyong, your prestige is really good."

"Then I have to thank you, Elder..."

"Uh...cough," smiled awkwardly, Kong Huan turned his head to look at the factory manager: "Then, let's go to see the situation of the shipyard first."

"Please."

Just entering the weightless space, the energy body with non-aerodynamic flight experience is still very fast to adapt. When ordinary friends and armored people are still struggling to move around with the armrests, Kong Huan and Yueyong can already Generally free flight on the ground.

Under the leadership of the factory manager, the few people first went to the nearest dock area.

The shape of the shipyard is a honeycomb-like hexagonal large cylinder, which is divided into three parts: inner, middle and outer circles.

According to the size of the internal space, the dock area is divided into four areas, one big, three small.

Among them, "big one" refers to the area of ​​the inner circle of the shipyard. It is a closed cavity with a diameter of 80 meters and a length of 500 meters. It is the main dock area. At this time, it is in charge of the construction of the space supply ship; The middle circle is separated from the outer circle and the inner circle. According to the six sides, three of the six areas are divided, and the diameter is 50 meters. Although the length is still 500 meters, the 500 meters can be divided into several parts according to the needs. At intervals, two to three Freedom-class ships will be started at the same time.

In this way, if the entire shipyard works at full capacity, it can simultaneously build no less than one large space supply ship and six spaceships of the Freedom class.

The remaining three middle circle areas of the hexagon are the warehouse area, the control center and the comprehensive rest area.

Beyond that, is the outer ring.

Because of the lack of gravity, the outer ring, which is an area with an inner ring diameter of 150 meters and an outer ring diameter of 170 meters, is designed as a living area attached to the inner wall, with only one floor and a height of about 7 meters. According to the design, it can It can support the long-term life of 500 people, but it only has a simple ecological cycle capacity, and most of the resources come from the ground.

Of course, this is just design data.

On the outside of the outer ring, one side of each hexagon in the design has the ability to park a spaceship.This design maximizes the use of space.Of course, Liberty stopped here at this time.In addition, there is another early-stage spaceship parked on the other side, and the remaining two early-stage spaceships are now patrolling in the low orbit of Double Moon Star.

Floating in the central dock area, looking at the huge space supply ship inside, Kong Huan and others exclaimed softly, and Yueyong even published, "Only in such a situation where there is no gravity constraint, can such a large space ship be built and used?" The Spaceship' Insights.

"However, how do you get out of such a big spaceship after it's built inside?" Yue Yong looked at the closed sides of the dock with a puzzled face.

Of course, this kind of low-level problem will not appear in the designers of the friends (although it seems to have appeared before, such as water leakage in the ship (=.=)), the factory manager smiled and replied: "There is no need to worry about this, the dock area is not a problem. It is completely enclosed. When a spaceship is built, the huge wall on the right side of everyone will be opened. For safety, the inside of the dock area will be cleaned up when it is opened, leaving only the spaceships that need to be sent out to let the spaceships fly out by themselves.”

"That's it, it's amazing."

"uh-huh."

"By the way, have the bugs changed recently?"

Kong Huan understands the basics very well, and he participated in the design of the entire shipyard. I am afraid that he is even clearer than the staff here in some details, so after listening to the boast of the factory manager for a while, he lost interest .

"Oh, the bugs are basically as usual, but the frequency of the Zerg passing through the surrounding airspace seems to be a little higher recently."

"What about the height of the system protection? Didn't it drop below that of the space shipyard?"

"Of course not. It was still at 460 kilometers during the test yesterday."

"Then... Could it be that the Zerg increased their troops to Shuangyuexing as a whole, and that's why the period detected here was shortened?" Kong Huan thought, and his body slowly followed the crowd, continuing to appreciate the splendor of this huge shipyard.
