Chapter 203: Use Your Subjective Initiative
At this moment, the newly expanded area of the Yushenxing base has already been lined with factories. 【】The wide roads and air passages are full of heavy-loaded trains and robot troops shuttling back and forth.
The energy from the large nuclear fusion power plant supports the operation of this industrial zone. The mine provides a variety of resources. In the foundry, the machinery roars all day and night.
With the joint cooperation of more than 1 million robots and at least tens of millions of intelligent devices, a thin special alloy steel plate with a thickness of about 0.3 mm was finally produced on this day.
It was immediately sent to the laboratory to undergo a series of stretching, bending, extrusion, high temperature, low temperature, and corrosion tests to determine its performance.
When the final results appeared, Han Yang was immediately refreshed.
"After so much research and development and testing, the most important component for building the outer shell of the spacecraft has finally been made."
Although this layer of steel plate is only 0.3 mm thick and can even be called iron sheet, its material properties are extremely superior.
Not only can it maintain its performance in extremely low and high temperature environments, it cannot be broken even if it is bombarded with a machine gun. Some electromagnetic cannon projectiles with lower power cannot penetrate it, and its own weight is extremely low, which will not add too much weight to the spacecraft.
It is the most important material for the outer shell of the spacecraft.
After this steel plate, Han Yang took some special fibers, anti-radiation layers, anti-interference layers, etc., overlapped with multiple layers of this steel plate, and integrated them through special processes, and finally formed a plate with a total thickness of about three centimeters.
After conducting anti-radiation, anti-interference, and temperature tests again, Han Yang finally determined that he had fully mastered the manufacturing technology of the outer shell material of the spacecraft.
Although it is not too advanced and cannot compare with the Itar people, it is a good start after all. And... at this stage, it is completely sufficient.
Even if it cannot compare with the Itar people, it is still better than the outer shell performance of civilian spacecraft, right? Haven't you seen that the rebels used civilian spacecraft to fight smoothly before? Now that the performance has been improved again, the combat effectiveness will not be stronger?
"Very good, then mass production!"
The precision machinery foundry that had been prepared for a long time began to operate immediately, and mass-produced related machinery according to the equipment performance and standards tested before.
Once the machinery was produced, it was immediately transported away by the load-carrying robot. After a series of smooth operations, it was installed in the factory prepared in advance.
After debugging, production can start immediately.
Special steel plates, special fiber layers, radiation protection layers, anti-penetration layers, high temperature resistance layers, etc., each layer of material has one or more special factories to produce.
Afterwards, these materials will be sent to the assembly plant and assembled into the final product: a plate with a thickness of about 3 cm, a length of two meters and a width of one meter.
In order to solve the problem that the spacecraft shell is too large and not conducive to transportation, Han Yang creatively developed a modular shell solution here.
This kind of plate, each piece has a reserved interface around it. Through a specially developed cold welding device, it can be relatively simple to assemble with other steel plates, and finally form a complete spacecraft shell device without too much performance loss.
Want a larger spacecraft shell? Then assemble more plates. Want a smaller one? Then less. In short, do whatever you want according to your needs.
In addition to the most important spacecraft shell materials, Han Yang also built many other production lines.
For example, air circulation system parts production line, cooling system production line, communication module, electronic control module, intelligent module production line, and so on.
In short, in a spacecraft, except for the things that are too technically demanding and Han Yang can't build at this stage, such as small high-efficiency nuclear fusion devices, small high-speed ion thrusters, and long-distance communication equipment, Han Yang can build them all, and all of them adopt modular design.
To put it simply, he is using the thinking of building blocks to build spacecraft.
I will standardize and modularize most of the parts that make up a spacecraft. In the future, after these parts are delivered to the hands of the rebels, as long as some specially trained engineers can assemble them like building blocks.
I have solved the most difficult technical part. Don't tell me that you can't even assemble them yourself. If you really can't, then your organization has no future for development. I don't bother to care. You can just fend for yourself.
As for what kind of spaceship you want to assemble, how much performance you want, and how big you want to assemble, it's up to you.
You can do whatever you want, I don't care, I only provide the raw materials for assembling the spaceship.
As for the consumables needed to maintain the operation of a spaceship, such as detergents and coolants, Han Yang has mastered the manufacturing methods after years of research and development, and manufactured them together with the spaceship parts.
Are you kidding? I can't make a small and efficient nuclear fusion device, I can't make a small and high-speed ion thruster, and I can't make some detergents and coolants?
Who are you looking down on?
As for those equipment that he really can't make, Han Yang also thoughtfully made a civilian version adaptation plan and provided a common civilian version installation tutorial.
Han Yang's plan is to let the rebels find a way to get it from the solar system.
Smuggling a complete spacecraft is strictly regulated and difficult, but smuggling a small nuclear fusion device or a small ion thruster should not be that difficult, right?
If it doesn't work, you can find a way to collect old goods and modify them yourself.
All the solutions are thought up by people, and Han Yang will not do it all by himself. After solving the primary problem, you can use your subjective initiative to find solutions for the remaining problems.
Han Yang took this approach and fully exerted his industrial capacity to manufacture these spacecraft modules at an astonishing speed.
As soon as the Hope 3 spacecraft arrived, it was immediately loaded and sent to the inner solar system.
The Hope 3 spacecraft can carry 150,000 tons when fully loaded. Calculated based on the mass of a standard small civilian spacecraft of 3,000 tons, the Hope 3 spacecraft can transport up to 50 small spacecraft back in this trip.
After the Hope 3 spacecraft, there are the 4th, 5th, 6th, and all the way to the 12th.
At this stage, Han Yang already has a total of 12 cargo ships, which travel back and forth between Yushen Star and the inner solar system non-stop.
Hope No. 3 left with a full load, and Han Yang's crazy production has not stopped on Yushen Star.
In the warehouse, the reserve of spacecraft parts is increasing rapidly, and in space, Hope No. 4 is coming.
