666: Chapter 666 Large Transport Spacecraft

“Later, the descendants of the Ying family finally obtained a barren, remote fief, and slowly developed from there.”

“So, do you understand my relationship with Qin State?” Old Qin asked.

According to this statement, Old Qin was from the ancestral line of Qin State.

“Old Qin, with just this one connection, I don't think it's enough to prevent me from exploring the Qin Emperors Mausoleum, is it?” Oriental Chen asked with a smile.

“That’s the reason. Believe it or not,” Old Qin replied.

Oriental Chen shook his head.

This matter was already a minor detail. Since Old Qin didn't want to talk about it, he couldn't force him.

“Alas! I regret it a little now,” Oriental Chen sighed.

“Regret what?” Old Qin asked.

“I shouldn't have brought you to the underground base. If I had asked you to oversee Batuo City, the security there would be much higher,” Oriental Chen joked.

“If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have been able to tell you these things! Besides, even if I were to oversee, I would oversee the capital, why would I go to your Batuo City?” Old Qin glanced at him sideways.

“That’s true.”

“Old Qin, the gene repair chamber is almost completed. Have you decided yet? Do you want to proceed with the repair?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Of course! Anyone who knows there's a Trojan program in their body would want to fix it immediately,” Old Qin replied.

“Aren't you worried it will affect your strength?”

“What's there to worry about? No matter how strong you are, one careless mistake can lead to death and oblivion. Just accept it.”

Oriental Chen nodded.

...

10 days later, April 20, 2057 AD.

The Mars Base Data Center was completed.

“Xiao Lin, set Mars Base as the main base and enable synchronized backup of Space Station data.”

“Okay, Commander, the data synchronization task has been initiated. It is expected to be completed within 30 days.”

“Construct zhen crystal panel production chambers at Mars Base, with a production capacity 10 times that of Blue Star.”

“Okay, Commander, the order has been issued.”

A total of about a hundred zhen crystal panel production chambers were built on Blue Star, most of them at Wulan Gumu Military Base.

If the Mars Base's output were to be tenfold, a thousand production chambers would need to be built.

Oriental Chen was now racing against time, so speed was essential.

In addition, with larger-scale production chambers, transporting these zhen crystal panels was also a major problem.

The nuclear-powered miniature transport spacecraft in the secondary annular cabin was simply too inefficient. It took 20 days to fly from the charging station to Mars and another 20 days to return.

It was too time-consuming.

“Xiao Lin, I plan to design a large transport spacecraft. Where is the most suitable construction site?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Commander, the most suitable construction site is Mars Base,” Xiao Lin replied.

This was consistent with his thoughts.

The Space Station's material collection speed was limited, and most of the nearby space debris had already been collected.

It was simply unrealistic to build a large transport spacecraft in space relying on that debris.

“Alright, then give me a preliminary proposal first.”

“Will zhen crystal be used as the energy core?”

“Yes.”

“Will the shell be made of pseudo-vibranium?”

“Yes.”

“Will the power engine use a warp drive?”

“Yes.”

“Is its purpose to transport zhen crystal panels?”

“No, design it as a multi-functional transport vessel.”

“Okay. Does it need to be manned?”

“Support manned operation.”

“Okay. Does it need to simulate Blue Star ecology inside the cabin?”

“Set up dedicated living and control areas for staff, and simulate Blue Star ecology in these areas.”

“Okay. Does it need to simulate gravity?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. What is the maximum number of people it can carry?”

“10 people.”

“Okay. Does it need to carry weapons?”

“Of course. Design one main cannon, and you can design the number of secondary cannons based on the situation.”

“Okay. Does it need to have food production chambers?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Does it need to have escape pods?”

“Yes. The number of escape pods should be the same as the maximum number of people it can carry.”

“Okay. Do the escape pods need an automatic navigation system?”

“Yes.”

“If the escape pods add an automatic navigation system, an additional power engine will be required. Should a power engine be added?”

“What are the options?”

“There is only one power engine option: electromagnetic engine.”

“Alright, add it.”

Without adding an automatic navigation system and power engine, the released escape pods would only drift in space. In the end, it would still be death.

In that case, what's the difference from not having escape pods?

“Okay, creating the proposal now. Please wait.”

5 minutes later.

“Commander, the proposal has been created. Please review it.”

As Xiao Lin finished speaking, a 3D rotating spacecraft model appeared on the screen.

It looked like a scorpion.

The head was pointed, the middle part was wider, which should be where cargo was stored. The back part was thinner, with a small tail flipped up.

This small tail, similar to a scorpion's stinger, should be the spacecraft's main laser cannon.
