Chapter 355 (1/2)
In the bow of the warship, there is also an electromagnetic gun that runs through the whole warship and accelerates for one kilometer.
Although the killing power of the electromagnetic gun used as the main gun of warship is far lower than that of the electromagnetic gun of orbital light, it is enough to fight in the sky.
Including this electromagnetic gun, the experimental ship named Shennong class by Titan group has a powerful firepower configuration of one main gun, ten auxiliary guns, sixteen near defensive emplacements and one hundred missile launchers.
The combination of electric propulsion and fuel thruster not only makes the warship have the maneuverability comparable to deep space probe, but also has the endurance ability to reach Mars as far as possible!
But the price is that a third of the ship's space is occupied by thrusters and fuel tanks, bio batteries, nuclear reactors that run the ship!
The cooling system that surrounds the ship and connects all the weapon modules and equipment components takes up another third of the space.
The heat generated by all the equipment is transferred to a small cabin less than nine cubic meters for storage. When the spacecraft does not need to remain invisible or in a safe place, the heat will be transferred to the folded heat sink for heat radiation.
The remaining space of the warship contains shipboard computers, ammunition depots, life support equipment, material storage, UAV hangar and other equipment.
This makes the space available for astronauts on the whole warship become extremely small. Each person can only be allocated a small single room of less than five square meters. Even the dining room and the living room and entertainment room are integrated into one. The small space can only accommodate all the crew, and even if there is one more person, there will be no place to interfere.
Fortunately, because of the highly automated and robot aided design, the Shennong class experimental ship only needs 50 people to maintain normal operation and operation!
As the first space warship of Titan group, its real performance and fatal defects are still a question mark. Therefore, a long-distance ”air test” is still necessary.
It happens that the second Mars spacecraft has been built, and Shennong spacecraft can follow Mars II to Mars and carry out weapon tests and other easily discovered experimental projects on Mars.
In any case, the technology of other countries on Mars can not be focused on.
Because of the completion of the lunar base, Titan's ability to build space vehicles has been greatly enhanced, and the group's production capacity has been increased by nearly 50%!
This means that Titan can free up more resources to build a Mars base!
The third Mars spacecraft under construction is the product of a drastic upgrade of the original template by Titan group after obtaining the flight data from Mars-1.
According to the plan, the third spacecraft will be able to carry up to 500 astronauts, as well as mining and manufacturing equipment equivalent to one-third of the production capacity of the lunar base!
This scale can be said to be the scale of colonial Mars, but for Tang, it is only the beginning!
Rich in mineral resources on Mars, it is destined to be an excellent dock construction site equal to the status of the moon!
Moreover, with the existence of Mars transfer station, Titan's spacecraft can refuel and repair on Mars, so as to reach further planets!
