Chapter 354: The First Human Battleship

The manufacturing area of ​​the base is located on the other side of the base, with chimneys rising from the ground into the air.

Future emissions from these chimneys will slowly alter the temperature of Mars.

Of course, these changes are nothing but a drop in the bucket, but Tang Shizhe has other methods to increase the temperature of Mars, and the exhaust gas emitted by this factory is just icing on the cake.

This manufacturing plant includes all functions of mining, refining, forging, and manufacturing, which can completely make this base self-sufficient in parts!

Of course, high-end equipment such as chips cannot be manufactured here, and only low-tech parts can be produced here.

Five ten-meter-high mine carts are the main force responsible for transporting ore. A crater not far from the base is a mine used to provide minerals for the base.

The meteorite that fell here brought a large amount of precious metals, enough for the base to mine for a year!

Under the base, a well being dug will be the main source of water supply for the base in the future.

Once a frozen water source or an underground river is found underground, the water source problem for the forward base will be completely solved!

However, before it discovered the water source, the forward base could only rely on the water tanks dropped from the sky of Mars-1 to survive.

"The satellite network in Mars orbit has been launched. Communication satellites, weather satellites, resource exploration satellites, and navigation satellites have all entered orbit. You will soon be able to receive various information from the satellites!" Tang Jiuling looked at The satellites in the display that have all entered orbit spoke to the astronauts on the ground.

"received!"

"We hope that the resource detection satellite can find more metal mines as soon as possible. We plan to start expanding the base after the agricultural area is stabilized!" The astronauts on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.

The deployment of the satellite network means that they can grasp all the dynamics of the entire Mars, and no longer have to worry about the sudden arrival of sandstorms.

Some time ago, although Mars-1 sent an early warning, they were still disgraced by the sudden sandstorm.

And one of their team members almost got lost outside the base. Thanks to the help of the robot, he got out of danger!

"Can we communicate with Bluestar?" The astronauts missed their relatives and friends after leaving Bluestar for so long.

"Okay! But because there is a signal delay of more than ten minutes, you can only communicate by leaving a message."

"But pay attention, all your information will be reviewed by the Titan Group several times before being sent to your relatives and friends!"

"Your mission is top secret! No information can be disclosed to the outside world! Once you violate the regulations, you know what the consequences will be!" Tang Jiuling's tone became serious.

"We know! Don't worry!" The astronauts expressed that they already understood.

The far side of the moon at this time.

After 120 days of development, the original mines and factories in the crater have been completely completed!

An orbital elevator pulled by the space station also stands in the center of the crater.

Due to the much smaller gravitational force of the moon, the engineering volume of this orbital elevator is not large and the difficulty is not high.

The technical content is so low that the Blue Star Federation can build it.

However, the existence of this track elevator has reduced the time-consuming process of building parts in the ground factory and then transporting them to the shipyard to one-fifth of the original time!

Such a high efficiency improvement has nearly doubled the speed at which the shipyard can build spaceships!

Not only that, with the completion of the manufacturing plant in the crater, more than half of the parts of the spacecraft can be self-sufficient!

The remaining half is also because the raw materials for these parts have not been found in the mines on the moon, otherwise the shipyard would be able to achieve most of its self-sufficiency!

You must know that this mine and manufacturing base have invested most of the Titan Group's 120-day production capacity!

The capsule spacecraft launched by the orbital launch tower, in addition to delivering life supplies to the Orbital Light Sky Station, have all been used for the construction of this base and shipyard!

But the results are also remarkable! The number of docks in the Lunar B1 shipyard has also reached three! Three spaceships with a length of no more than 1.5km can be built at the same time!

The living space station of the shipyard can accommodate up to 10,000 people to work and rest!

Some people may ask, why not use magic seeds to build a moon base? Why not use magic seeds to build spaceships?

This involves the necessary conditions for the growth of the magic seed, that is solar energy!

Even if there is no solar energy, the magic seed can grow, but the speed is only one-thousandth of the original speed! It might as well be assembled from parts!

And the back of the moon is a place without direct sunlight, and the growth speed of the magic seed here is extremely low!

The reason why warships are not built is because the strength of the demon species is still too low.

Even though Orbital Light Sky City can be built with magic seeds, it is a space city floating on orbit! It does not need to consider how long the structural strength can last when it is attacked, and its orbit change is also carried out slowly.

And if the spaceship follows the orbital change speed of the light in orbit, it would have been hit by a meteorite or a shell long ago!

According to the maneuvering speed stipulated by Tang Shizhe, a space station with such structural strength as Orbital Light has only one consequence, it will disintegrate just after accelerating!

In this case, the spaceship keel poured with alloy has become the best choice.

This is also the reason why the construction efficiency of spaceships is so low!

Moreover, if there are so many devices and wiring in the spaceship, if they are placed on an empty shell grown from a monster, it is not as fast as building a spaceship out of parts.

The modular design of the spaceship can greatly reduce the time spent on interior decoration, making the explosion of the ship more efficient!

During these one hundred and twenty days, the Titan Group also built an experimental space battleship.

It may be a bit overestimated to say that it is a battleship, because the structural strength of these spaceships is very low, and the combat effectiveness may not be as strong as destroyers in the ocean.

But as the first space battleship of mankind, it is already very good!

Because it uses the same template as Mars One. The main body of this experimental warship is still long, but it has two more symmetrical keels than the Mars-1 spacecraft to enhance the structural strength of the spacecraft.

It looks like those ordinary warships in the ocean, but the narrow bottom of the ship has become a long and narrow deck.

The entire battleship is equipped with five dual-mounted electromagnetic railguns on the upper deck, and five dual-mounted electromagnetic railguns are also equipped on the lower deck. The length of each electromagnetic gun barrel reaches 50 The giant rice!

In this way, when the battleship is facing the enemy sideways, ten electromagnetic cannons can attack at the same time!

On both sides of the battleship are missile silos and laser close-in defense systems to defend against incoming missiles or fighters.
