Chapter 1273 (1/2)

”The special envoy class star ship has a net weight of one million tons. The main engine is a high-power nuclear fusion engine, and the secondary engine uses ion propulsion technology. The maximum cruise speed can reach one thousandth of the speed of light in theory. At a relative distance of 100 million kilometers, it takes only a week to launch cruise mode to Mars Standing in front of the window of the wharf command tower, looking out of the window at the towering star ship, Jiang Chen's eyebrows flashed a look of pride.

At present, the relative distance between Mars and the earth is still at the scale of tens of millions of kilometers, but by the second half of this year, the distance will have to exceed 100 million kilometers.

Apart from Hawking's lightboat, which is still at the speed of one fifth of the speed of light in the theoretical stage, this special envoy class star ship is probably the largest and fastest large manned spacecraft in human history.

It's a great honor to witness this moment.

Not to mention standing in the position of chief designer of space resources development, personally promoting the plan from drawings to reality.

”This is too big...” Standing next to Jiang Chen, looking out of the window at the special envoy class star ship, Lu Wei sighed slightly after a long time, and sighed, ”I'm afraid that the length of the Ford class aircraft carrier can be comparable to that of its subordinate aircraft carrier battle group only if it is connected end to end.”

As a major general of the Chinese Navy and former captain of the destroyer Nanning, he has seen many ships in his life, and even went to the Liaoning to study and investigate. He vaguely remembers the last time he uttered such a feeling, he still participated in the United States Pacific joint military exercise as an observer, standing on the deck of the nuclear powered aircraft carrier Eisenhower.

It was on that occasion that he firmly convinced his superiors to develop nuclear powered aircraft carriers and strengthen the Chinese navy.

Today, many years later, he once again issued a similar feeling.

But at the same time, he did not know how to catch up. Although with the support of the satellite ring trade, the space technology of all countries has made great progress. At least in the field of space mining, there is no need for technicians from the future mining industry, which can be completed independently.

However, in the face of the speed of progress in star ring trade, the word ”leap” has to be quoted. Because compared with them, their progress speed is just like snail climbing.

At the thought of this, he cursed the dog officials in Wanghai city a hundred times.

How stupid it must be to drive such talents out.

But these are the afterwords.

”Big?” Jiang Chen laughed and squinted at the distant starship. ”It's really big, but in our space defense plan, it's not the biggest.”

”How big are you going to make?” Anthony Leibniz, former director of ESA, a representative from Germany, looked at Jiang Chen with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, ”you mean, it's not the biggest?”

”That's right,” said Jiang Chen in a positive tone. ”The level of special envoy is only one million tons, and there will be constitutional level, Lord level, Prince level Our ultimate goal is to build a 100 million ton starship with a crew of 100000, and to achieve 100% material circulation within the star ship with sufficient energy. ”

Looking at the dull expressions on the faces of representatives of Member States and members of the Earth Defense Alliance Committee, Jiang Chen laughed and said in a joking tone.

”Of course, we still have to eat one bite at a time. As far as the situation is concerned, one million tons is enough for us. When the final goal is achieved, I'm afraid we will all be in the dust... ”

The people laughed with kindness.

After a pause, Jiang Chen continued to speak.

”This special envoy class star ship means the same to us as Liaoning. It is mainly used for training and accumulating experience to lay the foundation for building a large-scale fleet in the future. The only attack weapon of this starship is the mass launcher that runs through the whole ship, but it is mainly used to eject the X-1
