Jack's way of speaking is very skillful. He didn't mention the bad news about the moon-earth collision and asteroid impact. Anyway, human beings are going to leave the moon, so it's okay not to mention these news.
"I, Jack, temporarily serve as the first captain of Noah!"
"Our spaceship is a sphere with a diameter of 15 kilometers measured from the outside, and the space is much larger when measured from the inside. The diameter in the horizontal direction is about 200 kilometers, and the length in the vertical direction is 60 kilometers. Think about it, everyone. This is a large volume, enough for us humans to use."
"Its mass is constant at 1.03 million tons, no matter how many things are inside, it is this mass! We will use the method of detonating a nuclear bomb to propel the spacecraft."
"Don't worry, the spacecraft is very safe, we have enough technical means to ensure this!"
"After the spacecraft takes off, it will only take four to five months to reach Mars. We will start a new life on Mars!"
Every sentence Jack said was like a bombshell. After every sentence, people cheered loudly. Gradually, the atmosphere of the venue reached its peak, and everyone began to fantasize about life in the interstellar era.
Humans are a very polarized creature. Some people are very realistic. They think that ideals are scum, so can they be eaten? Some people are very emotional and can sacrifice everything for their ideals.
However, often the latter can make some earth-shattering career.
Of course, most people are middle-of-the-road, willing to fight for their ideals after having enough food and clothing. Now that all the plans have been drawn up, and it sounds like they are highly feasible, of course they are willing to follow Jack to do a big job. There are also a small number of people who are unwilling, but following the trend, if they don't want to, they can only be willing.
"Next, I invite the leaders of each project to give a speech..."
After Jack's speech, there was thunderous applause. Enthusiasm alone cannot last for a long time, and some solid and reliable plans must be used to strengthen people's determination.
It is very complicated to design a spaceship that can carry tens of thousands of people. The food and drink of so many people are in it, and all aspects must be considered. How much oxygen, how much food, and how much water will be consumed in a day are all very complicated Headache problem.
Such as air circulation system, water circulation system, power system, etc., these are all necessary, and there must also be a sewage and sewage treatment system, can't make the entire spaceship stink to the sky, right?
Not only that, but the spaceship must have a lot of productivity and be self-sufficient. If something breaks, one can be made immediately. People need factories, they need farms, they need plantations, and gradually they can live a better life.
These are all necessary systems for the spacecraft, and nothing less is enough. The moon base has these things, but you must know that the construction of the moon base took thirty years. Now, people only have five short months.
So, the first project is - demolition! The original equipment and facilities were dismantled and assembled on the spacecraft.
Don't think that this is a simple project, it must be done step by step, and there must be a sequence. Buildings like nuclear power plants must be demolished last. If they were to be demolished directly, wouldn't all the power be cut off in the base?
Like the air circulation device, if it is directly removed, what will the people in the base do? Wouldn't it be suffocating to death ?
This demolition work must go from secondary to major, from small to large, and at the same time ensure that people's daily life is not affected, and gradually move things into the spaceship step by step.
The second project is - dig! The entire spaceship is buried deep in the ground, and only a little bit is exposed. To make the spaceship take off, the whole spaceship has to be dug up, which means that people need to dig a big pit with a depth of 15,000 meters!
The amount of this project is too great, logically, there is no way to complete it in five months. But in fact, people have been digging for 30 years. There are a lot of ice mines under the spaceship, and they are digging all the time. Now people only need to dig out the layer of rock and soil close to the side of the spaceship.
This also leads to the third project - installation! Where is the excavated rock and soil? Straight into the spaceship! Regardless of whether it is useful or not, let's put it in first. Anyway, the space inside is so big, humans can only occupy a small corner of it, no matter how much it can be filled, it can't be filled.
In the cosmic space, no matter can be supplemented, the surrounding is a vacuum, and everything is used a little less. Although materials such as water and air can be recycled, they will eventually be consumed a little bit. Adding up a little bit, it may be a disaster in the end.
Especially energy, once it is used up, it will be gone. It is impossible to recycle it, and there is no way to replenish it on a large scale, so it must be brought in enough at one time. At present, 70% of the electricity in the base is supplied by nuclear power plants, and the rest is only 30% from solar energy and thermal power generation.
Large-scale excavation of uranium ore is inevitable, as well as ice ore, iron ore, titanium ore... Anyway, if there is anything you want, everything is missing, so let's put it all in.
The last project is "making"!
Things like spaceship engines are not readily available, and they have to be made abruptly. This is also the most exaggerated, difficult, and exciting project, such as the "billion-ton nuclear weapon promotion plan", "tens of millions of tons tons of steel production plan" are all included in this project.
Talking about this project, the order on the site was chaotic for a while, and some former Russians and Ukrainians screamed and roared wildly, as if they had reached their climax. Fighting peoples just love crazy plans like this.
Regardless of whether the major is right or not, they all asked to join this project... As a result, they must have been ruthlessly rejected. Those who should mine, those who should be demolished, should be demolished honestly, and you are asked to cross-professional nuclear bombs. Can?
In front of the TV, Wang took a note at first to see if this aerospace project could be realized. At the end of the day, the huge amount of work and the intricate connections are simply unclear. To put it bluntly, 3,000 experts have spent two weeks forgetting to eat and sleep, and it's no wonder that a small person like me can figure it out.
He put down his pen helplessly, and found that Chao was jumping around like a child. He was so excited, he couldn't help asking: "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Interstellar voyage, this is an interstellar voyage! How can you not be excited?!" Chao yelled incoherently, looking very excited.
"Didn't you take a spaceship when you came to the moon?" Wang asked puzzled.
"That's different!" Chao yelled frantically again, "This is a real interstellar voyage! Three-body civilization, god-level civilization, here we come, haha!" He is a fanatic of science fiction, what is so strange If you watch too much, it's important to YY yourself first.
Wang has never seen him so happy, maybe most people are like this. Originally lingering on the edge of life, suddenly found that he was about to usher in a new era and become a hero of mankind? How can you be unhappy, the mood before and after is completely different.
The first agricultural transformation plan temporarily solved the problem of survival, but did not really change the plight of human beings. Human beings guarding a barren moon, do they really have a future? I don't know... Or, no...
But this time the space program can be said to be a major change in the true sense, allowing mankind to find the way forward. The risks are huge, but the rewards are also huge. If it really succeeds, mankind will be completely reborn. Enter the interstellar age!
Wang keenly noticed the project period of Noah's plan: 5 months, is human being really so urgent? Actually not. Maybe the moon-earth collision will really happen, but so what, with the Noah plan, he will never worry about such things again.
In this way, Captain Jack is really powerful, not only in his means of conduct, but also in his personal abilities. If you were the previous leaders, you didn't have the courage, nor the organizational skills, so you'd be scared to pee? Wang thought with admiration.
