Chapter 134 Various Style Changes
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan.
Although the biologists have long been thirsty and have to look at the planet Wolf 1061 c from the porthole of the Hope almost every day, the procedure is the procedure and what needs to be waited for still needs to be waited for.
According to the plan, in the next period of time, humans will rely on the Hope to first build a base on Wolf C-1, and then use its resources to build a space transfer station in its orbit.
Then use this transfer station to absorb the resources on the planet Wolf C-1 to carry out larger-scale space construction, including space docks, space factories, space experimental bases, and a series of supporting facilities.
While planning these functional facilities, according to the original plan, humans will also transfer resources through the space transfer station and build a large integrated space station in the orbit of the planet Wolf 1061 c.
This space station will serve as a springboard for subsequent personnel to land on the planet Wolf 1061 c.
The reason for building a large integrated space station is that all subsequent research on the planet Wolf 1061 c will be carried out on this space station.
However, considering that humans will not live here permanently in the future, the plan for this large space station was rejected. Well, it was rejected but not completely rejected. The alternative plan was to design the large space station to look like a spaceship like the Hope.
It should have all the necessary fusion thrusters, and the design drawings are directly based on the "Hope", which means that another Hope is to be built.
The purpose of doing this is very clear, that is, when humans leave in the future, they will also take this platform away with them. After all, it is a waste to use such a comprehensive space station and then throw it away.
This alternative plan was agreed by almost everyone.
It is precisely because of this plan that humans have also considered other space building designs in this way.
The principle is that it can be packed and taken away, or simply driven away directly.
After this interruption, the various platforms designed by humans have completely turned to another style.
The traditional space dock was soon given various buffs, such as reserved thruster positions and full disassembly and modularization. In order to realize the use of thrusters in the future, the main structure of the space dock was also required to use higher-strength alloys, and an operation center was added to the dock to control the various thrusters installed and driven away in the future.
Since the thrusters are installed, how can the fuel tank be missing?
So, the originally simple space dock was suddenly added with this and that, and it almost became a large spaceship.
With this, humans simply decided to build a large movable dock.
The design is not a problem, because when humans discovered that their material technology could build larger warships, they had already designed large docks accordingly. Now they are just adding various functions on the basis of the original design drawings.
It can be said that the previous space dock was equivalent to a rough house, and now it needs to be finely decorated.
In this way, the space dock gradually became a huge hollow spaceship from the appearance of the drawing.
Under the condition of meeting the navigation requirements and the limits of human material technology, the length of the mobile dock reached 1,800 meters, the width reached 1,500 meters, and the height reached 900 meters.
Of course, the real dock is not square, but an elliptical shape like an egg, which is due to acceleration mechanics considerations.
Because it is hollow, the mass of such a giant is not very large, which conforms to the appearance design of the mechanical mechanism, and is supported by several high-strength alloys from its outer surface, which can fully withstand the high G acceleration brought by the thruster.
It is equipped with three nuclear fusion thrusters on the top and bottom, one on the left and one on the left. Because the cosmic environment is a three-dimensional space, it also has auxiliary steering thrusters in the up and down directions of the head and tail.
In the plan, this mobile space dock will leave here with humans in the future, and in the Wolf 1061 star system, it will be used as a platform for building new warships.
Although humans will not settle in the Wolf 1061 star system, they will not leave soon. At least they will stay for more than 20 years, and if there is no accident, it may be longer.
Because the Wolf 1061 star system is so good, with almost endless resources and a biosphere resource available for humans to obtain, it is simply a paradise.
Here, humans can replenish the biological resources lost due to the loss of the earth, and can also reproduce and expand the population.
With more people, many things will be easier to handle.
Some branch sciences that have not been studied before because they are not urgent can also be included in the technology tree research again when there are people.
With people, humans can build more warships and more residential spacecraft. Instead of having only one lonely Hope like now.
All of this requires a relatively stable environment.
Although there is a "Silver Mist Consciousness" next to it and a broadcast from the Galactic Axis Alliance, humans have no choice but to hope that everything that is about to happen will come slowly.
In addition to the space dock being designed to be mobile, space stations for transferring materials are also designed according to this concept.
Being modular, packable and able to be taken away, and able to be equipped with engines and driven away have become the basic requirements for humans to design various functional buildings in the future.
Even ground resource development bases and various resource collection equipment have taken this aspect into consideration to the greatest extent.
As a result, humans have unconsciously transformed from a settled civilization to a nomadic civilization.
In fact, it is not unconscious. The leadership of the new government and scientists in various fields have long been aware of this transformation, but they have not intervened. Instead, they have vigorously promoted and supported it.
The new government has also done special publicity work in this regard.
Everyone wants to find a planet suitable for human habitation, but there is no way. This dangerous star field does not allow humans to settle down.
With this understanding, humans need more residential spacecraft.
In the plan, the new government believes that during the development of the Wolf star system, humans will have at least 5 more residential spacecraft in addition to the Hope. And these residential spacecraft will not become comprehensive spacecraft like the Hope, but real special residential spacecraft.
These spacecraft will be larger than the Hope and can accommodate more people.
In this way, it is necessary to match various types of spacecraft dedicated to other types, such as scientific research spacecraft that focuses on accommodating various scientific laboratories, industrial spacecraft that focuses on industrial production workshops, spacecraft that focuses on material processing, and so on.
Since we have to go in the future, everything that human society should have must be realized on the spacecraft.
Only in this way can humans not have to start from scratch when they arrive at the next destination.
From another perspective, functional requirements such as "can be modularized, can be packed and taken away, can be equipped with engines and driven away" will also prompt humans to work harder on folding machinery. In terms of technology, the mechanical structure must be more precise, more delicate, and more convenient.
Of course, under such requirements, the structure of various human mechanical equipment will become more complex. In this way, humans are forced to specialize in more intelligent artificial intelligence.
As the saying goes, one move moves the whole body.
