MTL - My Hi-tech Library-Chapter 300 Star Age (3)
In the huge space command room, the holographic screen of the podium in front of Li Yi displayed a magnificent star map, marking many targets that had been explored.
How big is the universe? No one knows the answer, the universe is infinite, maybe it does have some kind of boundary, the universe has been around 13.7 billion years since its birth, but it is constantly expanding, and this expansion can happen at almost any rate - even exceeds the speed of light.
Over time, galaxies get farther and farther apart from each other due to the overall expansion of the universe.
The space universe is filled with hundreds of millions of galaxies, and each galaxy has hundreds of billions of star systems, ..., such a vast universe, no one knows its end.
"The future of the spaceport will become the starting point for human civilization to explore the vast universe. The current scale is definitely not enough. It is almost time to start the second phase of the spaceport." Li Yi looked at Sun Bingwen, Chen Zi'ang and others and announced.
Hearing this, everyone was startled.
"Mr. Li, the projects currently being operated by the spaceport are too complicated. Starting the second phase of construction now may affect the normal operation of the spaceport and increase the pressure on the operation of the spaceport. The pressure here is too great, can we postpone it for a while?" Chen Ziang Quickly reminded Li Yidao.
"Mr. Li, how long will the second phase of the spaceport project take? Based on the current operation of the spaceport, I'm afraid it will take a while before I have the energy to continue the subsequent projects?" Sun Bingwen looked at Li Yi and reminded him kindly.
It has been less than a year since the spaceport was built.
However, it has become the most popular project in the world, from all over the world, large and small, countless companies, interstellar travelers, countless applications, and countless applications every day.
Whether it is interstellar travel or shipping, the spaceport has become the most important hub station in the three voyages of the earth, the moon, and Mars, and the only hub station. In addition, the spaceport also undertakes the manufacture of spacecraft. The mission has made the entire spaceport the busiest place in the world.
However, the spaceport is located in a vacuum universe, and the work is extremely difficult, causing the entire spaceport to be overloaded.
Starting the second phase of the construction project at this time will definitely greatly affect the normal operation of the spaceport.
"Da Hei, show the schematic diagram of the second phase of the spaceport." Li Yi gestured while looking at the virtual screen.
"Okay, master!" Da Hei responded.
Immediately, an extremely magnificent spaceport design appeared in the holographic projection. On the basis of the original spaceport phase I, another giant building was expanded. The current spaceport looks like a lotus flower. The second phase of the project After the construction is completed, two large 'lotus leaves' are linked under the lotus, which is very magnificent.
"I know that the spaceport is very busy now, but the second phase of the project must seize the time to build the city, so as to keep up with the next outbreak," Li Yi explained to the crowd with a smile while looking at the holographic screen, and then motioned to the big gangster: " Da Hei, tell everyone about the second phase of the airport."
"Okay, master!" Da Hei answered the order, and the second phase of the "Spaceport" drawing on the whole body screen drew closer, showing a giant space city.
"The second phase of the spaceport is to build two circular space cities with a diameter of 50 kilometers. The estimated construction period: 3.5 years, ..." Da Hei explained incessantly. The city's various details are constantly revealed.
The space city uses the resources of the Mars base, the moon base and the base manufacturing technology, with the powerful intelligent machinery manufacturing technology, and the convenient attributes of spaceport transportation, build modules on Mars and the moon, and transport them to the spaceport for assembly.
Sun Bingwen and Chen Ziang heard their eyes light up and their hearts relaxed.
If the Skynet defense project is a miracle in the history of human architecture, then these two 'space cities' are the pinnacles of mechanical civilization, all completed under the leadership of the 'intelligent master mind', without consuming too much manpower, only However, the spaceport, which was already very busy, inevitably became busier.
At this time, the spaceport, large and small, hundreds of interstellar spacecraft, coming in and out, they are full of tourists from all over the world, and various materials are parked in the spaceport.
A small spaceship with four big blue characters "Huanxing Tourism" printed on its surface successfully landed in the berthing area of the spaceport.
The beautiful tour guide-Xu Yumei explained to the group members: "We are about to enter the spaceport. Next, I will take you to visit the ecological park of the spaceport. The scale of the spaceport ecological park is very large, everyone must follow Hold me tight, don't get lost."
"Haha, Director Xu, don't worry, the spaceport is so big, where else can we throw it away."
"Yeah! Unless it's thrown into outer space, it's definitely not lost!"
"There are so many spaceships in this spaceport! It's everywhere!"
"It's so sci-fi, it's like a 'future world'!"
"Xingyao Technology is amazing! How long will Director Xu be able to go down, I can't wait to go down and have a look."
"Yes! How long will it take!"
"..."
In the spaceship, nearly a hundred interstellar travelers, your words, my words, they eagerly looked at the magnificent spaceport outside the window, and they were eagerly discussing.
This interstellar trip made them feast their eyes. At this moment, everyone was shocked by the magnificent scale of the spaceport, and everyone was excited and emotional.
Seeing the excited appearance of the passengers, Xu Yumei was full of smiles, and she was used to it. She has seen passengers in various situations on more than ten voyages, scared, excited, dizzy, ... for the first time in her life. To experience interstellar travel, travelers must be very excited at the moment.
"Everyone, please be patient, the spacecraft is waiting for the spaceport to be cleared. Nearly 10,000 ships land or leave the port every day. Now we need to queue up. It is expected that it will be our turn in 45 minutes. You can take a look at the rules and regulations of the spaceport now. Various precautions." Xu Yumei reminded and explained with a smile.
As soon as Xu Yumei's voice fell, a middle-aged woman suddenly pointed out the ship's window and shouted with great joy: "Everyone, look out the window, that ship is huge!"
Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction the woman pointed, and when they entered their eyes, a huge spaceship, with the might of a dark cloud cover, swiftly galloped towards their right side, with bursts of 'boom' thunder, From far to near, followed closely.
"Wow! It's Xingyao! It's so spectacular!"
"It's so big! It's shocking! The effect of the starship seen in the game can't be compared!"
"It's landing on our side! It's so big!"
"Tsk tsk, compared to the Xingyao, our little brother doesn't even count!"
"That is! The Xingyao is 3,000 meters long! We are only 100 meters long! It's only one-thirtieth."
"..."
The passengers saw the spectacular scene of the Xingyao falling from the sky at close range, and all of a sudden the crowd became excited, and they couldn't help crying out.
"That's not the Xingyao, that's the Xingchen, which has just been completed. It often travels between the moon and the spaceport to transport various mineral resources to the spaceport." The tour guide Xu Yumei smiled and introduced to the group members.
After a pause, Xu Yu looked at the passengers in the warehouse and explained in detail: "Xingchen, manufactured in the same dock as Xingyao, has a body length of 2980 meters, tail width: 139.6 meters, height 33.5 meters, ..., empty weight. : 1.37 million tons, load: 20 million tons, ..., 12 cold fusion power engines, maximum thrust: 1.8 trillion horsepower, fastest flight speed 3000㎞/s By comparison, the current cost of the Xingchen has dropped to 400 billion Chinese yuan."
"When everyone enters the spaceport, take a rest, and visit the ecological park, I will go to the resource terminal. At that time, we can see the spectacular scene of all the spaceships entering and leaving, and various materials being transported to the spaceship." Xu Yumei paused, Looking at the passengers, they arranged with a smile.
"Director Xu, let's go to the resource terminal first! Let's go to the ecological park later!"
"Yes, yes, with so many ships going in and out, the loading scene must be spectacular, and I'm very curious about how they work."
"Yeah! What is there to see in the ecological park? There are so many ecological parks on the ground! Let's look at the resource dock first!"
"..."
As soon as Xu Yumei's voice fell, the tourists in the bus immediately became excited and almost unanimously asked to modify the travel route.
Hearing this, Xu Yumei showed a helpless expression, and hurriedly explained to the members: "The ecological park is actually very interesting, the soilless cultivation room, the space garden, the global ecological park, ..., every scenic spot is very interesting. It is worth going. Besides, the resource terminal has a lot of resources going in and out every minute and every second, and it will not run away. After we finish watching the ecological park, we will take a break in the rest area of the ecological park, taste the delicious food in space, and feel full. Let's go and look at the resource dock later!"
"Hey, I just want to see the resource terminal first, it doesn't matter if I don't see the ecological park."
"That's right, what's so beautiful about flowers and plants, I'm already tired of seeing them on the ground."
"Director Xu, please meet everyone's requirements!"
...
Xu Yumei's introduction could not shake anyone, and some of the passengers were very persistent and persuaded one after another.
The customer is God, and this kind of travel route is the best choice. However, the customer is unwilling. In the face of this situation, what can Xu Yumei do?
Xu Yumei nodded and replied helplessly: "Okay! Since everyone has to look at the resource terminal first, after getting off the spacecraft, we will divert to take a rough look first."
"Thank you, Director Xu!"
All the passengers expressed their gratitude in unison.
Xu Yumei gave a wry smile, turned and walked to the cab of the spacecraft, and applied to the captain to change the route after getting off the spacecraft.
The captain in the pilot seat of the spaceship looked at Chen Tianyu in the co-pilot seat and arranged: "Xiao Chen, you can get off the spaceship in 30 hours, please help her apply!"
"Okay, Captain!" Chen Tianyu happily took the order, and quickly contacted the platform management of the spaceport to modify the route of the shuttle bus after leaving the cabin.
Not long after, an electronically synthesized voice came out from the cab console: "The application is approved, the shuttle bus for the Traveler has been arranged, and the travel route is confirmed to be changed. It is expected to arrive in 40 minutes."
40 minutes passed in a flash, and the passenger door of the Voyager slowly opened, and the silver electric bus was parked at the door.
Chen Tianyu and Xu Yumei led nearly 100 passengers to get off the spacecraft in the elevator, and then got into the spaceport to arrange a shuttle bus.
The silver shuttle bus has a bullet-like front, and the body is extremely smooth. It is suspended on the metal ground of the spaceport. It is full of nearly 100 passengers, and it is speeding silently inside the spaceport.
Soon, the silver bus quickly passed through the metal passage of the spaceport, and it didn't take long for it to arrive at an incomparably huge inner pier.
Spaceships are parked on giant metal platforms outside the glass windows, and metal passages extend in all directions to the pier. The huge pier is incomparable, piled up with materials like hills, and the size of the bus is like an ant in this pier. Incredibly tiny.
As far as the eye can see, it is a 'hill' made of large container stacks. At the scene, there are hundreds of giant manipulators, each of which is 20 to 30 meters long. Large containers are placed on the conveyor belt, and supplies are continuously delivered to the spacecraft at the end of the passage.
The large transporter transporting materials, the giant manipulator grabbing the container~www.novelbuddy.com~the engineering robot for maintenance and monitoring,..., are busy in an orderly manner, and there is only a 'sound' of metal collision left in the huge wharf area. Taken together, they are like a labor song with a jaw-droppingly fast pace.
"Amazing! The efficiency of this loading is horrendous."
"Xingyao Technology is amazing. No wonder the city in the sky can be built so quickly. Now I can finally understand it."
"It's amazing! The cargo throughput speed of the spaceport, how much supplies can be delivered every day!"
"Yeah! Xingyao Technology is amazing!"
"..."
The passengers widened their eyes one by one, staring closely at the magnificent pictures of construction vehicles loaded with supplies and giant mechanical claws transporting supplies into the spaceship, and exclamations spread one after another.
Listening to the amazement of the tourists, Xu Yumei smiled happily, where is this! More grandiose scenes in the spaceport are yet to come!
The resource dock is just like that. Xu Yumei doesn't need to explain too much. Some landscapes need to be seen with their own eyes to appreciate them. The language description is rather pale.
Nearly half an hour passed, and when the tourists were quiet, Xu Yumei began to introduce them, saying: "'The resource terminal is very large, and it is not enough to visit the entire resource terminal in one day, everyone must be hungry! Let's go first Space Restaurant, after eating, we have time to go to the Ecological Park. Next, we will go to the 'Zhan Wang Xingkong', the Space Science and Technology Museum in the evening. The time is very tight. Everyone has also watched the resource dock. We will come and see when we have time. Bar!"
Hearing this, the tourists nodded their heads one after another. There are many must-see attractions in the spaceport, and every minute and every second should be cherished.
Not long after, the electric bus started again, turned into a metal passage, and slowly drove towards the core area of the spaceport.
