There are actually only two or three options for Wang Bin and the others to choose from. The first option is to use existing spacecraft for transportation, such as the Dijiang spacecraft and the Xuanming spaceship. Warships for transport.

However, if this is done, there will be a great conflict with other projects, for example, the Dijiang spacecraft, in the solar system, there are still many projects that need it to complete, for example, in the asteroid belt, other For the investigation of asteroids, after all, in the asteroid belt, the relatively large asteroids, in addition to the dwarf galaxy Ceres, also include Vesta, Juno, and so on.

In addition to the asteroid belt, there are also Jupiter, Jupiter's orbit, and Jupiter's major satellites, all of which need to be investigated, as well as Saturn and its satellites, which need to be completed by Dijiang, and further away Uranus, Pluto, and even Neptune, etc. , all need to be completed by the Dijiang, so the actual task of the Shenjiang itself is already very heavy. If it still needs to play the role of a transport ship, Wang Bin can be sure that even when the alien civilization fleet arrives in the solar system, Dijiang may not be able to complete the investigation of these tasks.

There is also the Xuanming cosmic fighter. Although compared with the Dijiang, the Xuanming does not seem to have so many missions, but in fact, the Xuanming's tasks are not easier than the Dijiang. Come on Jiang, the space battleship Xuanming, as a real space battleship, its most important task now is to train it to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and to ensure the safety of the solar system at all times, so in fact, the spaceship Xuanming The current task of the battleship is the heaviest. After all, the safety of the entire solar system is actually on this spaceship. Once the alien civilization fleet arrives now, then the earth civilization can rely on the Xuanming Space battleship.

In addition to this method, Tiangong Technology must directly use the Dijiang-class spacecraft as a template to directly manufacture some space transport ships to solve temporary difficulties. After all, if the Dijiang-class spaceship template is used to manufacture space transport ships, Then this transport ship has a carrying capacity of at least 50,000 tons in the universe.

However, the seemingly feasible plan, however, for human civilization on earth, the most important thing is the manufacture of space battleships. After all, there is only one real space battleship in the entire human civilization, and it is really impossible to guarantee human civilization. Therefore, compared with the construction of asteroid belt defense fortresses, space battleships are more important, so it is impossible for human civilization to give up building space battleships for the asteroid belt space fortress.

In addition, even if Tiangong Technology starts to manufacture space transport ships now, it will take a lot of time. The time required to manufacture a Dijiang-class spacecraft will take at least two or three months. Not enough time either.

The last solution is to modify other existing spacecraft to make them suitable for long-distance space transportation missions, such as modifying those super-large aerospace aircraft, increasing the propulsion power of their engines, strengthening the fuselage structure, It can transport more and heavier things, strengthen the armor of the aircraft shell, and make it more resistant to strikes,

At the same time, it is also possible to add external armor and so on to the outside of the aircraft fuselage.

Compared with the previous plans, this plan is undoubtedly much better. First of all, it does not need to spend several months to manufacture. After all, the entire human civilization and all super-large aerospace planes are all In total, there are more than 300 aircraft, and at the current production speed of Tiangong Technology, basically more than ten super-large aerospace aircraft will be rolled off the production line and delivered every day.

Therefore, as long as about half of the number of super-large aerospace aircraft is used for transformation, the transportation needs of the asteroid belt can be temporarily met. It can also transport at least a hundred people at a time, so when this aerospace plane is being transformed, there is no need to deliberately separate the passenger plane and the cargo plane, which also greatly reduces the pressure on the rear transformation.

Of course, using an aerospace plane to transform it into a deep-space transport plane also has its own shortcomings. First of all, it is natural in terms of transportation capacity. Compared with real spacecraft, it can transport 10,000 or even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of tons of goods at a time. Even after the modification, the Skyplane's transportation capacity can only transport about 5,000 tons of materials at a time.

At the same time, in terms of speed, originally, the aerospace plane, compared with other spacecraft of human civilization, is already a bit slow. It can reach less than 80 kilometers per second. If it is fully loaded with goods, its speed will be slower, and it can only reach more than 30 kilometers per second.

However, as a transport aircraft dedicated to transporting cargo, such a speed is not impossible.

The last is the strength of the fuselage. After all, the fuselage of this aerospace plane was originally designed for aerospace vehicles. The maximum take-off weight is only a thousand tons, so its fuselage strength does not need to be comparable to that of a spacecraft The same, so even after the fuselage casing has been greatly strengthened, the strength of the aircraft cannot be compared with that of a real spaceship, and even compared with a space fighter, it is slightly inferior. The external armor is still incomparable.

The last is the ability to resist strikes. After all, flying in the asteroid belt is very easy to encounter small asteroids, and these asteroids are all capable of causing fatal damage to the super-large aerospace aircraft before the transformation. However, after the transformation, according to Wang Bin's technology, asteroids under 10 centimeters at least can no longer pose a threat to it, which is why Wang Bin and the others think this is the most suitable method now.

After hours of discussion, in the end, the command center decided to use the third option, which is to transform the existing super-large aerospace aircraft so that it has long-distance transportation capabilities within the solar system.

Originally, everyone was still considering whether to remove the wings of the aerospace plane. After all, the wings are not small. If you fly in the asteroid belt, it is easy to be hit by asteroids, but in the end the wings were not removed because According to calculations, once the wings of the aerospace aircraft are removed, the strength of the aircraft fuselage will be greatly reduced.

The most important thing is that even after the transformation, although this aerospace plane can no longer take off and land on a planet with a strong gravitational force like the earth, it can still take off and land on a planet with a strong gravitational force like the moon.

So, in the end the proposal was rejected.
