Chapter 56 Orbital Facilities
The space port is not the only facility that Bai Zhongqi wants to build. In the game, Iridium will build a large number of military and civilian facilities on the orbit of the planet. This is actually something that Bai Zhongqi can really control as a game player, and the construction of the planet Bai Zhongqi is in the game. What can't be interfered is that after the game penetrates into reality, he has a more macroscopic and huge control.

Due to the existence of Ruyi City, Bai Zhongqi does not need to build some facilities that were originally built on planetary orbits, especially civilian facilities.For example, the Imperial Scientific Research Center, these buildings in the game are necessary for pointing the technology tree. The more you build, the faster the research and development speed, and the more research you can conduct at the same time.On the contrary, even if Bai Zhongqi builds a lot of scientific research centers, it will not be of much use now, because in the entire Iridium United Empire, except for Dean Mo Laitong who has the ability to lead scientific research work, the rest of the talents are not bad, but they are not qualified.

The track buildings that Bai Zhongqi needs are mainly service and military.A very important building is the Orbital Observatory.For any interstellar civilization, the observation of the universe is extremely important.This is like a strategic-level radar built by a country on earth. If any hostile or unknown forces move within the detectable range, they can be immediately informed and prepared.Moreover, in the universe, there are some other threats, such as cosmic astronomical disasters such as asteroid impacts and star explosions. Sometimes, if they are serious, they may even threaten the safety of a planetary system.Therefore, the orbiting observatory is basically a necessary orbital building for every planet.

In terms of communication, Iridium also plans to build satellites for quantum communication and other communication modes not only in Earth orbit.These communication satellites will not only serve the communications required for interstellar voyages, but also serve communications on Earth in the future.Massive level of data transmission will greatly facilitate people's daily life, and even global "WiFi" without dead ends is no longer a dream.

Naturally, the most important part is still related to industrial production and military affairs.

Although Ruyi City itself has a certain industrial production capacity, it will become unsustainable if it is to meet larger-scale needs.The Iridium people are used to building a large number of orbital factories in planetary orbits to produce various products, and even a large number of civilian consumer goods that people need are also produced by orbital factories and then transported to the ground.This is not only very beneficial to planetary ecology, saving planetary land and avoiding pollution, but also has considerable advantages in cost control and industrial scale intensification.

For the time being, Iridium doesn't have any big industrial production needs, and the industrial capacity inside Ruyi City alone is enough to provide the daily needs of thousands of Iridium people.But if the Iridium United Empire grows, absorbs the power of the earth, and even expands its territory to other planetary systems, then this industrial capacity will not be enough.The production of a large number of products needs to be carried out by a group of specialized track factories.Bai Zhongqi has predicted that when country C joins the Star Alliance, there will be various needs for a population of 13 billion. Bai Zhongqi intends to directly improve the living standards of his compatriots to the level of interstellar civilization, which will inevitably require a larger industrial productivity.

Fortunately, a very typical feature of Iridium technology is high replicability. The Iridium people can expand their industrial system and industrial scale almost infinitely in a similar manner. This is one of the main reasons why the Iridium people are very powerful in the galaxy. .Bai Zhongqi temporarily arranged a group of orbital factories, and will continue to deploy new ones according to demand.

Industrial capabilities naturally also cover military production. Now the military strength of Iridium is extremely powerful in the eyes of people on earth, but seeing the huge fleet and military scale of Iridium, the original R19 fleet is really nothing.

"The population of Iridium is too small. The number of real soldiers is more than 2000. Although the number of redundant personnel in the exploration fleet has increased due to various risks, it is still too small to expand a fleet. Temporarily In other words, we still consider recruiting Earthlings to serve in the fleet, but the reliability of this group of people needs further investigation. Then, it seems that the only way to go is the unmanned fleet.” Bai Zhongqi thought to himself, the iridium star The powerful artificial intelligence and the ability to manufacture bionics make it possible for Iridium to actually build an army without real people.

Before the "head of state" was welcomed back, Iridium's use of the bionic army was relatively limited. The fear of artificial intelligence rampage and the consideration of not being able to deal with more complex wars made the plans of the Iridium bionic army and unmanned fleet repeated. Frustrated.Iridium has never established a real android army and unmanned fleet.

Now it is different, Bai Zhongqi holds the supreme command, and all artificial intelligence and bionics cannot betray the supreme command, and Bai Zhongqi is currently extremely short of manpower, so the construction of the unmanned fleet and the bionic army has been put on the agenda.

Once the orbital factories are completed, Bai Zhongqi will start the construction of a bionic army of up to 10 people.In the past, the authority of the Iridium people was limited. As the commander of the fleet, Xu Lanzhou could only produce thousands of bionics, and the demand for bionics was not only from the military, but other aspects basically disappeared as soon as they were allocated.After Bai Zhongqi took power as the head of state, Iridium began to build a large number of bionics for various purposes. The Earth Visiting Mission that just went on was basically responsible for serving all the bionics that Bai Zhongqi had just built.

Expansion of the empire's fleet naturally required a shipyard.According to the serial numbering of the empire's original shipyards, the empire's shipyard to be built in earth orbit will be named 318 shipyard.Because the amount of antimatter reserves is still a bit tight, and the imperial technology brought by the R19 fleet is not completely complete and the most cutting-edge technology of the empire, so in the capital ship class, the capital ship with the latest technology such as the Holy Falcon, 318-built Ships are not capable of production.However, even the strongest warship that 318 Shipbuilding can build is the technological level of the empire 200 years ago, and it is also a very powerful combat force in the universe.

By the way, the lifespan of the imperial star warships is relatively long. Although basically the imperial warships will be retired after 300 years of service, in fact, if these warships are properly maintained, it will not be a big problem to use the last 2000 years.

Bai Zhongqi has no plans to build a large battleship in a short time. For him, the medium and light interstellar warships of the Iridium star are enough to deal with many interstellar conflicts of less than medium intensity. In fact, it is not true that two civilizations must In a life-and-death war, the capital ship level will basically not be dispatched.
