"Er Gouzi, please report the current progress."

"Yes, boss, the peripheral work at the shipyard is almost complete, and all the robots have been deployed. The installation of internal facilities in the factory has already begun, and it is almost 12% complete."

Wang Chen, who was preparing something, was watching the chemical reactions in the equipment and shouted to the open notebook next to him.

Nearly a week has passed since his last speech, and Wang Chen has officially started his research days in the Peking University laboratory.

Although this recipe is not said to be difficult, it is not simple either.

In particular, the equipment in the laboratory here is not connected to the smart network, which means that the Luban I brought here cannot fit in perfectly.

Some work still needs to be completed by Wang Chen himself.

Although the efficiency is not fast, the overall research progress is still on the right track.

No, while studying things, Wang Chen also asked Ergouzi to send over the situation of the shipyard on the other side of the island.

As the most important part of the current development of Sky, the progress of the shipyard has surpassed all current projects.

Even Wang Chen's own residence and the construction of the laboratory on the island can be towed, but not this one.

Especially now that Yingjiang has begun to exert his strength, Wang Chen's pressure has also increased a lot.

As a company deeply tied to the above, the changes in the international situation have had a considerable impact on itself.

Although he didn't know what the status of Yingjiang's research was, Wang Chen was already accustomed to considering things in the worst case scenario.

Assuming that Yingjiang now has mature engine technology, it doesn't take much time to just build a spaceship.

Therefore, my own progress must be accelerated, at least not to be left behind by the opponent.

The minerals and some special resources on the moon are very important to me, so I have to take a bite of this cake no matter what.

Currently, in the branch factory on the island, the first batch of arriving robots have begun to install various equipment around the clock.

Judging from the current progress, all installation work can be completed in up to half a year.

This speed is already very good. If it were replaced by manual work, it would probably take nearly a year even if it was done in three shifts.

Once the three factories are completed, Wang Chen will start the first phase of the construction plan.

In addition to the original battleship plan, there are also two spacecraft for aerospace being designed.

These two projects are still completed jointly by myself and Ergouzi.

After Wang Chen made the request and gave a rough concept diagram, Ergouzi improved it through constant calculation and analysis.

This shows the power of artificial intelligence. Wang Chen is currently running several projects.

Without the help of Ergouzi, I would have been in a hurry.

The design of the battleship is relatively simple, after all, there are World War II examples for reference.

But this spaceship is different and needs to be completely redesigned.

After all, the environment in space is no better than the ocean. As long as it's out of the atmosphere, even a brick can fly.

In terms of design, practicality needs to be considered more.

Wang Chen has found a lot of materials from several science fiction games.

Through comparison, a conceptual idea that looks good was given.

Ergouzi is currently completing the preliminary improvements, and it is estimated that it will take some time until the pictures are released.

According to Wang Chen's idea, the length of the first-generation spacecraft is about 300 meters, the width is 80 meters, and the height is 30 meters.

The whole body is in the shape of a dagger, and the tail is a huge movable "X" shaped tail.

There are eight auxiliary thrusters distributed in the four corners, and there is a seven-hole main engine in the middle.

This is equivalent to fifteen propulsion devices on this spaceship.

This does not include the nozzles used for auxiliary propulsion and auxiliary steering around the spacecraft.

In the middle and rear of the spacecraft, in the center next to the engine, is the console of the entire spacecraft.

A trapezoid-like design is adopted to integrate the console and the hull as much as possible.

There will also be a pair of large retractable folding wings on both sides of the control tower.

This was considered to make it more convenient when entering and exiting the earth.

In addition to these, Wang Chen also plans to reserve a special shooting position on the spacecraft.

Just like the side guns of ancient sailing battleships, the sides are expected to be equipped with two layers of thirty-two sets of twin electromagnetic guns as secondary guns.

There will also be five triple main guns arranged in a stepped manner on the deck of the spacecraft.

Not only the main gun, but also the electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon in Wang Chen's hand will also be installed.

These muzzles are usually retracted inside the hull, and only when needed are the firing ports exposed and the turret pushed out.

Of course, these are just Wang Chen's ideas, and the specifics will be considered after Ergouzi has designed them.

Wang Chen's idea is very simple. Spaceships need to face various problems in the universe, and the most important thing to ensure is their own safety.

This security not only refers to when facing other forces, but also against various space junk and even asteroids.

A cargo ship with a certain amount of armed force, this is Wang Chen's design concept for his own spaceship.

But although this idea is good, the first problem Wang Chen faces is energy.

Without nuclear fusion, so many electromagnetic weapons would be driven by their heads.

According to Wang Chen's own thinking, the spacecraft must have several nuclear fusion power sources.

Among them, there is a single main propulsion device, one tail and surrounding auxiliary propulsion devices, two weapon systems, and one for daily use internally.

Considering safety, a backup fusion energy source is also needed.

This is equivalent to placing six fusion cores inside the spacecraft.

Of course, this fusion core is not too big. Compared with the current nuclear fission, the volume of nuclear fusion is naturally reduced by one-third with the same horsepower.

Not to mention that Wang Chen uses cold nuclear fusion, which can further compress the volume.

An energy core is about the size of two buses side by side.

Plus other miscellaneous items, it can barely fit inside.

What Wang Chen told Ergouzi was, if there is not enough space, add more space.

As long as you can fly, you don't have to worry too much about space.

After all, our own shipyards can be used in parallel. Even if one of the shipyards wants to build a battleship, the other two shipyards combined will have a length of one thousand meters and a width of four hundred meters.

Therefore, the space budget is still relatively sufficient.

It's just that Wang Chen hopes to build two ships at once. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the vast universe, everything will be floating there.

It is necessary to have a rescue ship as a backup.

Not to mention that everyone’s plan is to build a base on the moon.

Having only one spaceship is a bit too dangerous no matter how you think about it.
