143: Kunpeng space cargo ship

The Top Leader was not daydreaming; there is water on Mars.

And even if farming isn't possible on Mars, its metal ore reserves are far beyond what the Moon can offer.

If the Moon is a single-layer cake, then Mars is a ten-layer cake.

"Comrade Xiao Zhang, you go ahead and do it; our Government will fully support you."

The Top Leader said hurriedly.

"Mmm-hmm."

Zhang Yuanhang smiled and hung up.

At this moment, the Army Commander arrived at The Top Leader's office.

The Army Commander came this time for the Sentinel Mecha.

"Commander, I heard that Comrade Zhang Yuanhang has developed a new mech."

"I wonder when it can be equipped by our Army?"

The Army Commander said with a smile.

The Top Leader and Old Wang exchanged glances; they knew that this Army Commander, who never came without a purpose, wouldn't show up for no reason.

"Our Commander Sheng Hai, it's been a long time since you last visited, and the first thing you do is ask for something from us—isn't that a bit much!"

Old Wang said teasingly.

"Hehe!"

Sheng Hai gave an awkward laugh, but to get the Sentinel Mecha equipped, he didn't care about these pleasantries.

"Old Sheng, this Sentinel Mecha really can't be given to your Army. Besides, don't you already have the Pangu Mech?"

"Why are you still asking for this and that all the time!"

The Top Leader was puzzled. The Pangu Mech made other military branches drool with envy.

Back then, Space Commander Yang Aiguo used to throw tantrums in his office every day.

He insisted that since the Pangu Mech could fly, it should belong to their Space command.

Only after being severely scolded did he drop the idea of the Pangu Mech. How could the Army, with such a great treasure, still be so fickle?

"Commander, isn't it just that the more equipment, the better?"

Sheng Hai said with a smile.

One must know that the 'insufficient firepower phobia' left over from the war with the Eagle Nation has now evolved into 'insufficient firepower in zero gravity phobia'.

In Sheng Hai's opinion, if a squad can't deliver platoon-level firepower, it's very concerning and must be supplemented!!!

The Pangu Mech is too large, and the cost of one Pangu Mech is not cheap, making it impossible to equip the entire Army.

But what's different is the Sentinel Mecha recently developed by Great God Zhang Yuanhang.

Its volume is relatively small, and its cost is also relatively cheap, making it possible to widely equip!

"Old Sheng, we can consider other equipment for you."

"But the Sentinel Mecha is out of the question."

The Top Leader directly shook his head.

"Ah?" Sheng Hai was puzzled, "Why?"

"The current Sentinel Mecha, as soon as it comes off the production line, is immediately loaded onto a Space Freighter and transported to the Moon."

"Right now, Comrade Xiao Zhang's side doesn't even have enough, so how could I equip your troops with it?"

The Top Leader explained.

"What does Comrade Zhang Yuanhang need so many Sentinel Mechas for?"

Sheng Hai didn't understand. There's no war on the Moon, so transporting so many Sentinel Mechas up there would be a waste.

The Top Leader briefly mentioned Zhang Yuanhang's words to Sheng Hai.

"So that's how it is. In that case, let Comrade Zhang Yuanhang use them first."

After understanding Zhang Yuanhang's plan, Sheng Hai no longer asked for the Sentinel Mecha.

Moon.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanhang had already returned to the Guang Han Palace Base.

The Sentinel Mecha was currently in full production of parts for the Space Combat Platform to be deployed to Mars.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuanhang returned to his office, preparing to begin designing the subsequent Space spacecraft.

The next stage would be flights from Blue Star to Mars, and the Space Freighter could no longer meet the requirements.

It's not that the Space Freighter couldn't fly to Mars, but its limited cargo capacity made round trips between Blue Star and Mars somewhat uneconomical.

Zhang Yuanhang had to redesign a cargo ship specifically for Space flight.

This cargo ship was named Kunpeng by Zhang Yuanhang.

The Kunpeng would continue to use Nuclear Fusion Engines, but this time the number would be directly increased to twenty.

The length of the Kunpeng was designed to be one kilometer, with a width and height of one hundred meters each.

Originally, Zhang Yuanhang wanted to make it even larger, but concerned about material strength, he did not continue to expand it.

The front section was designed with a control room, twenty meters in diameter and ten meters high.

This would also be the living quarters for the staff working on the Kunpeng.

Finally, the sketch came out: a rectangular Space Freighter resembling a submarine, which, although incredibly ugly, was not very aesthetically pleasing.

"As long as it can hold supplies, that's enough!"

Zhang Yuanhang also wanted to design it to be more attractive, but lacking relevant experience, he could only resort to a simple and crude approach.

After half a month of busy work in the office, Zhang Yuanhang sent the blueprint to the computing center.

He asked them to help calculate its feasibility.

Computing Center.

"Great God Zhang Yuanhang has sent over data."

"Quick, stop other tasks immediately, and prioritize Great God Zhang Yuanhang's data."

"Clear out the supercomputer."

...As soon as the data sent by Zhang Yuanhang arrived at the computing center.

The entire computing center became busy, all wanting to quickly complete Zhang Yuanhang's task.

Lest they delay Great God Zhang Yuanhang's important mission.

At this moment.

Zhang Yuanhang, who had been busy for a long time, walked out of his office.

Just then.

The Sentinel Mecha was loading the parts produced by the Lunar Base into the Space Freighter that was about to depart for Mars.

At this time, three Space Freighters were parked on the Guang Han Palace Base's tarmac.

In Space, there were also eight more Space Freighters carrying parts manufactured by China, as well as the first batch of personnel preparing to be stationed on the Mars Space Combat Platform.

"Are these going to Mars?"

Zhang Yuanhang asked Song Jiang, the Commander of the Guang Han Palace Base, who had come to his side.

"Yes, Comrade Zhang Yuanhang, these Space Freighters are loaded with all the parts for the Space Combat Platform, along with some spare parts."

Song Jiang looked at these Space Freighters with a hint of admiration and also a touch of worry in his eyes; his son was also among them.

This mission was a considerable challenge for the pilots and staff aboard the Space Freighters.

Although a Space Freighter would only take one month to reach Mars at full speed, no one could say for sure whether they would encounter meteorites during the journey.

"They're departing."

The three Space Freighters on the Moon had finished loading their cargo and began to ascend, meeting up with the other Space Freighters in Space.

Zhang Yuanhang waved at the ascending Space Freighters, and Song Jiang, seeing this, also quickly followed suit.

"Don't worry, the Space Freighter has a Laser Cannon. Small meteorites will be detected by the Space Freighter's radar, and the Laser Cannon will shatter them."

"Large meteorites will be detected by the Space telescopes on Blue Star, and they will be guided to avoid them."

Zhang Yuanhang, seeing Song Jiang's worry, explained.

"That's good, that's good."

Hearing Zhang Yuanhang say that, Song Jiang felt much more relieved.
