Homo sapiens

Chapter 263 Terrible Expansion Speed
22, April 2.

The high latitudes of the northern hemisphere are still covered in ice and snow for thousands of miles.

Hongshawadi, which is located in the tropics, is a more suitable season of the year for travel.

Li Qingye, who is still in Hongshawadi, is currently in the Hugang Basin of Kachin State.

He is inspecting a base, which is Magao Town, the publicly known space base in Hongshawadi.

Next door to this space base in Magao Town is Mengguan Town Aviation Base, and not far to the northwest is the Nanyun Town Nature Reserve (secretly the secret base of Nanyun that stole oil and gas from Assam).

Of course, the so-called bright side is only a small part of the bright side, and the real base is actually set up in the northeast mountainous area 50 kilometers away from Magao Town.

On the surface of Magao Town, there are many huge steel structure factories and several launch sites, all of which are for the eyes of the sky.

The real aerospace base can only enter its real core area by taking the subway at the underground station in Magao Town.

The core area of ​​this aerospace base is just under Benpa Mountain, which is also the highest mountain around, with an altitude of 3413 meters.

In the 3000-meter altitude zone of this mountain, there are not a few magnetic field radar detectors, which can monitor the surrounding magnetic field changes.

Li Qingye did not stop in Magao Town, but went directly to Benpa Mountain base.

After all, as a space base on the bright side, he knew that it must be stared at by American satellites, and even intercontinental missiles had already been aimed at it.

Naturally, he would not stay in such a place with great risks.

Just arrived at the Benpa Mountain base.

Fei Li hurried to his side and reported in a low voice: "Boss! Lucia entered the Principality of Kyiv 11 minutes ago."

Li Qingye frowned: "Oh..." Then a smile of interest appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Continue to pay attention, it seems that Caesar is not willing to be lonely!"

"The Department of Field Service has activated Lucia and some chess pieces in Eastern Europe. Do we need to increase the fire?"

Hearing this, Li Qingye waved his hand: "No need, but America wants to strengthen intelligence collection, and they seem to have been eyeing Hongshawadi recently."

"Minister Chen has recently stepped up intelligence gathering efforts on America." Philip quickly replied.

Li Qingye listened to some other reports and gave some general direction instructions. Then, under the leadership of the base chief and the heads of several technical departments, he visited the various works of the Benpa Mountain base.

What he is most concerned about is naturally the several major projects that are being promoted at the Benpa Mountain Base.

Unlike the Aerospace Base in Mining Town in the Longerang Mountains and the Space Base in Medan Island in Luzon, the aerospace technology route at the Benpa Mountain Base is relatively traditional.

Lin Xiaolun, one of the heads of the base's technical department, pointed to the large launch vehicle not far away: "Chairman, this is the Xinghe-1 large launch vehicle we developed."

"Liquid oxygen methane?" Li Qingye glanced at the engine and storage tank.

"The chairman's eyes are like torches." Lin Xiaolun then introduced the characteristics of Galaxy 1.

Generally speaking, Xinghe-1 has no outstanding points, and borrows a lot of launch vehicle technology from Huaguo, Lucia, America, and the European Union. It is a typical suture monster.

This is also the characteristic of Homo sapiens in many non-civilian technologies, that is, it can learn from it. Anyway, it is impossible to sell things like launch vehicles, and there is no need to abide by international patent laws.

After using a large number of new materials and biochip technology, the Xinghe-1 launch vehicle has a low-earth orbit payload of 53 tons, a synchronous orbit payload of 28 tons, and a lunar orbit payload of 11 tons.

Of course, this launch vehicle has not been actually measured, and the data are only simulated by supercomputers.

Thanks to the material advantages of crystal sponge, the Xinghe-1 launch vehicle does not need to store methane at low temperature, nor does it need to deal with the storage problem of hydrogen, and can achieve long-term storage and rapid launch as a whole.

Lin Xiaolun continued: "Using rapid liquid oxygen perfusion, or by directly replacing the spare liquid oxygen tank, Xinghe-1 can complete launch preparations in about 27 minutes at the fastest."

Li Qingye shook his head at this: "That's fine, unless the liquid oxygen can be stored for a long time, or poisonous fuel is used, otherwise the launch speed of liquid rockets has almost reached its end."

All the people present were professionals in this field, so they naturally knew what Li Qingye meant.

A liquid-fueled launch vehicle similar to Xinghe-1 can be used in aerospace launch vehicles, but it is obviously not suitable for military use.

No matter how it is improved, the launch speed of the liquid launch vehicle is still difficult to improve.

Hearing Li Qingye's words, Dr. Nevsky, who is in charge of the military transformation project of aerospace technology, knew it was time to speak up:

"Chairman, at present, our project team has developed Xinghe-2 and Xinghe-3 launch vehicles according to the requirements of the Ministry of Defense."

He carefully introduced the technology and performance of the two launch vehicles to Li Qingye.

The Xinghe-2 carrier rocket is a copy of Lucia. Its technical feature is the use of toxic liquid fuel that can be stored for a long time. Its payload is 1500 kilograms and its range is within 1.2 kilometers.

After using a lot of new materials, this type of launch vehicle can be transported by a missile launch vehicle or placed in an underground silo.

The Xinghe-3 launch vehicle is a medium-range launch vehicle, using solid fuel, with a payload of 1500 kilograms and a range of less than 6000 kilometers.

Xinghe-3 is relatively small in size and weight, and its production cost is relatively low. It is suitable for submarines and warships, and it can also be used by missile vehicles.

"Are you ready for service?"

Dr. Nevsky nodded: "It's already possible, especially the Xinghe-3 launch vehicle. If the base's production line is fully loaded, it can produce 500 to 600 pieces per month."

Li Qingye turned his head and ordered to the base manager: "Then start mass production and make a plan for industrial replication at the same time."

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it immediately." The base chief replied stiffly.

The so-called industrial replication is a technology promotion system within Homo sapiens company.

Usually, once a technology is industrialized, the company will not only arrange one production plant, but will prepare at least three factories located far away.

At the same time, the industry formed by this technology must have the conditions for rapid replication, and then the Ministry of Industry will make technical reserves. Once there is a need, the factory must be able to quickly replicate.

That's why Homo sapiens has the confidence.

Biomaterial synthesis technology, bio-element enrichment technology, and various supporting technologies for rapid construction sites can also quickly train technicians through biochips, allowing Homo sapiens companies to rapidly expand their industrial scale.

The advantages of biotechnology in this regard are indeed terrifying.

Just like the Xinghe-3 carrier rocket production line at the Benpa Mountain base, as long as the technology integration is completed and a set of industrial backup is formed, Homo Sapiens will be able to manufacture the Xinghe-3 carrier rocket in a matter of months. Factories are everywhere.

To expand the industrial scale of traditional industries, a large number of supporting facilities and production equipment are needed.

In extreme cases, the Homo sapiens company does not need supporting facilities and production equipment, and can completely piece together a complete production line with a part cultivation machine.

Of course, this is only done in extreme cases.

For example, in enemy territory, if you want to open a secret base, you can only use a small parts breeding machine. Before this thing is deployed, it is about the same size as an ordinary suitcase, which is very convenient for building a secret base.

And within its own control area, there is naturally no need to use a separate small parts cultivation machine.
