Chapter 354

The manufacturing area of the base is located on the other side of the base, with chimneys rising from the ground into the air.

Future emissions from these chimneys will slowly change the temperature of Mars.

Of course, these changes are a drop in the bucket, but Tang has other ways to increase the temperature of Mars, and the emissions from this factory are just icing on the cake.

This manufacturing factory contains all the functions of mining, refining, forging and manufacturing, which can make the base self-sufficient in parts!

Of course, chips and other high-end equipment can not be manufactured here, and only low-tech parts can be produced here.

Five 10 meter high trams are the main force responsible for transporting ore. a meteorite crater not far from the base is used to provide minerals for the base.

The meteorite falling here brought a large amount of precious metals, enough for the base mining for a year!

Underground, a well being excavated is the main source of water supply for the base in the future.

Once the frozen water source or underground river is found underground, the water source problem of the forward base will be completely solved!

However, before the discovery of water sources, the forward base still had to rely on the water tanks dropped over Mars-1 to survive.

"The satellite network in Mars orbit has been launched. Communication satellites, meteorological satellites, resource exploration satellites and navigation satellites have all been put into orbit. You will soon receive all kinds of information sent back by satellites." Tang looked at all the satellites in orbit on the display and said to the astronauts on the ground.

"Got it!"

"We hope that the resource exploration satellite can find more metal mines as soon as possible. We plan to start expanding the base after the agricultural area is stable." The astronauts on the ground breathed a long sigh of relief.

The launch of the satellite network means that they will be able to grasp all the dynamics of Mars without worrying about the sudden arrival of sandstorms.

Some time ago, although Mars-1 issued a warning, they were still disheartened by a sudden sandstorm.

And one of them almost got lost outside the base. Thanks to the help of robots, he got rid of the danger!

"Can we communicate with Bluestar?" After leaving blue star for such a long time, the astronauts have missed their relatives and friends.

"Yes! But because there is a signal delay of more than 10 minutes, you can only contact by message. "

"But please note that all your messages will be checked by Titan several times before they are sent to your friends and relatives!"

"Your mission is top secret! No information can be disclosed to the public! Once you break the rules, you know what the consequences will be! " Tang's tone became serious.

"We know! Don't worry The astronauts said they knew it.

The back of the moon at this time.

After 120 days of development, the original crater mines and factories have been completely completed!

An orbital elevator pulled by the space station also stands in the center of the crater.

Due to the fact that the moon's gravity is much smaller, the engineering amount of this orbital elevator is not very large, the difficulty is not high, and the technical content is so low that the blue star federation can build it.

However, the existence of the rail elevator reduces the time consumption of the ground factory to build parts and then transport them to the shipyard by a fifth of the original time!

With such a high efficiency improvement, the speed of building spaceships in shipyards has also increased by nearly twice!

Not only that, with the completion of the manufacturing plant in the crater, more than half of all spacecraft parts can be self-sufficient!

The remaining half is also because the raw materials of these parts have not been found in the lunar mines, otherwise the shipyard will be able to achieve the majority of self-sufficiency!

You know, this mine and manufacturing base has invested most of Titan's 120 day production capacity!

The capsule spaceship launched by orbital launch tower, in addition to transporting life supplies to the orbital light sky station, has been used for the construction of this base and shipyard!

But the results are also remarkable! The number of docks in the B1 shipyard of the moon has also reached three! You can build three spaceships no more than 1.5km in length at the same time!

The living space station of the shipyard can accommodate up to 10000 people to work and rest!

Some people may ask, why not build a lunar base with demons? Why don't you build a spaceship with a demon?

This involves the necessary conditions for the growth of demons, that is, solar energy!

If there is no solar energy, although magic can grow, but the speed is only one thousandth of the original! It's better to build parts and assemble them!

And the back of the moon is a place without direct sunlight. The growth rate of demons here is extremely low!

The reason why we don't build warships is that the strength of the demons is still too low.

Despite the orbital light, SkyCity can be built with demons, but it is a space city floating in orbit! It does not need to consider how long the structural strength can last when attacked, and its orbit change is also slow.And if the spaceship according to the orbital light's orbital speed, it would have been hit by meteorites or shells!

According to Tang Shizhe's maneuvering speed, orbital light, a space station of structural strength, has only one consequence, and it will disintegrate just after accelerating!

In this case, the alloy casting of the ship keel becomes the best choice.

That's why the construction efficiency of spaceships is so low!

Moreover, with so much equipment and wiring work inside the ship, if it is put on an empty shell grown by a demon species, it is not as fast as building parts and assembling a ship directly.

Modular design of the spacecraft can greatly reduce the internal decoration time, so that the efficiency of ship blasting is higher!

In these 120 days, Titan group also built an experimental space warship.

It is said that warships may have overestimated it, because the structural strength of these ships is very low, and the combat effectiveness may not be as strong as the destroyers in the sea.

But as the first space warship of mankind, it is already very good!

Because it uses the same template as Mars one. The main body of the experimental warship is still long, but it has two more symmetrical keels than Mars-1, which enhances the structural strength of the spacecraft.

Like those ordinary warships in the sea, the shape is just that the narrow bottom has become a long and narrow deck.

The whole warship is equipped with five double mounted electromagnetic railguns on the upper deck and five double mounted electromagnetic railguns on the lower deck. The length of the bare barrel of each electromagnetic gun is 50 meters!

In this way, when the warship is facing the enemy horizontally, it can make ten electromagnetic guns attack at the same time!

On both sides of the warship are missile silos and laser near defense system, which are used to defend against incoming missiles or fighters.
