Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 26 Spaceship Design
During the construction of the Orbital Mass Accelerator, the first orbital satellite was also sent up using traditional propulsion.

The days passed day by day, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two years, mankind has exploded with great potential. The smelting plant has grown from one to ten. Various supporting factories have sprung up on Callisto. The Orbital Mass Accelerator has also been successfully completed and debugged.

The dark Callisto is brightly lit, with various facilities spread out from the original base, forming a brightly lit steel city.

Fully automatic and semi-automatic, countless robots of various types shuttle back and forth on the roads linking various buildings. The interweaving of machinery, gears and oil and lubricants adds a busy atmosphere to this steel city.

The unprecedented large investment in robots has indeed reduced people's burden, but it has also kept Callisto's central computer near full capacity.

In this case, new generations of computers were also included in the documentation of future plans.Of course, the new generation of computers can only be planned in advance at this stage and cannot be achieved overnight.

It's a kind of future plan.

There are many such plans, but they are not a top priority at this stage.

Because the top priority is to build a spaceship.

Because of this matter, Yue Yuan ran to the design institute angrily early in the morning.

He originally arrived at the engineering department first, but people from the engineering department told him that the design plan had not yet been finalized, so he turned around and went directly to the design institute.

When he came to the design institute, Yue Yuan's first stop was the dean's office. But when he entered the office, he found that no one was there. Only after Zhu Pite asked other people did he find out that the dean of the design institute went directly to the design department early in the morning. went.

Hearing such news, Yue Yuan felt much better.

After all, the design department is where the actual drawings are designed. The dean must have personally participated in the design when he went there.

This made Yue Yuan, who originally wanted to ask Zhu Pite to call the dean of the design institute in the office, changed his mind and turned around and rushed to the design department opposite the office.

Before he even entered, Yue Yuan heard a slightly argumentative conversation coming from inside.

"This is not possible. The spacecraft must take the gravity environment into consideration. At this stage, drugs cannot completely solve the problem of calcium loss in the human body. The consequences of allowing humans to live in a weightless environment for a long time will be catastrophic. We must know that we may face long-term spaceship life in the future, and even If the next generation is not born on a spacecraft and grows in a weightless environment, the newborns will have many problems."

"Yes, we all know this. Newborns who grow in a weightless environment will be taller than people on Earth, but they will also have symptoms such as muscle atrophy and heart atrophy. They will have bloated faces, more fragile hearts, and poor direction recognition. Difficulty syndrome. I know all this, but we don’t have anti-gravity technology at all, so what else can we do? We can only accept and accept the fact that we humans have become new humans.

And with our current technical capabilities, the best solution is to build multiple residential spaceships, so that we can meet the living needs of more than 8 people. "

"What about anti-gravity technology? We don't need anti-gravity technology. We can use inertial force to simulate it. All we have to do is build the spacecraft into a large rotating disk."

"Big turntable? To put it lightly, people in a rotating state will be affected by the Coriolis effect. The human body will cause symptoms such as body misdirection and nausea due to the head and body moving in opposite or similar motions. Unless it can Make the turntable really big.”

"That's what I mean. We can build a huge spaceship, so big that the Coriolis effect on humans is negligible."

Why are we still discussing this issue? Shouldn't the plan have been written by now?
Hearing this, Yue Yuan who was outside the door finally couldn't help but push the door open and said with a frown: "How long has it been? Why haven't you written the plan yet?"

With that said, Yue Yuan walked directly to the two people who were discussing.

One of them is Gao Kun, the dean of the newly established design institute, and the other is Yu Nanfeng, currently the best engineering doctor on Callisto, who serves as the chief designer of this spacecraft construction.Yue Yuan heard clearly the conversation between the two. It was Gao Kun who thought the spaceship should be designed with multiple ships, and Yu Nanfeng who thought there should be one big ship.

Yue Yuan was a little angry because at this time, the two of them were still discussing plans, instead of writing several plans and submitting them to him for review at the same time.

"Mr. Yue? Why are you here!" The fat Gao Kun first turned around and said in surprise. He obviously didn't notice that Yue Yuan suddenly appeared behind him.

Yue Yuan is now the supreme leader and the commander-in-chief of all departments, so many people call him Chief Yue instead, while military personnel call him Marshal Yue.

"I came to see you discuss the plan. What's wrong? It's taken so long and it hasn't been written yet? The orbital mass accelerator is already ready, and time is running out." Yue Yuan expressed his meaning again and again.

"It has been written and is about to be submitted in the afternoon." Yu Nanfeng replied.

Oh?
It seems I misunderstood.

Yue Yuan was stunned for a moment, then pulled up a chair and sat down, then looked at Yu Nanfeng and Gao Kun: "In the future, please inform me directly of such important matters."

"Understood." The two said in unison.

"Tell me what's going on? What you were discussing just now?" Yue Yuan leaned back in his chair and his tone became much more relaxed.

Oh, it turns out that I just overheard our discussion and thought that the plan was not written well.
Hearing Yue Yuan's question, Gao Kun and Yu Nanfeng looked at each other, and immediately understood why Yue Yuan came in with a straight face just now.

"President Yue, it's like this."

The person who answered was Gao Kun, the dean of the design institute. Although he knew that Yue Yuan had listened to the conversation between the two of them, he pretended not to know and still explained it from the beginning.

In his words, he also elaborated on the advantages of his multi-ship plan.

After Gao Kun had almost finished speaking, Yu Nanfeng immediately talked about the advantages of building a large spaceship, as if he was afraid that Yue Yuan would immediately decide to use a multi-spaceship plan.

After listening to the two people's detailed explanations, Yue Yuan also understood.

There are two spaceship plans, one is to build many starship-type residential spaceships, and the other is to build a large rotating spaceship.

Yue Yuan held his chin and was silent for a while, then looked up at Gao Kun and said: "A spaceship for long-term residence will definitely not work without gravity."

"We can use magnetic boots. As long as the magnetic force is adjusted properly, walking on the spacecraft can be the same as walking on the ground." Gao Kun interrupted before Yue Yuan finished speaking.

"That's different."

Yue Yuan shook his head, but he did not completely deny the idea of ​​magnetic boots. He then said: "Although magnetic boots are not suitable for use on residential spacecraft, they are good for use on future battleships."
