"The best program can design this set of shuttle-shaped airship with a beautiful appearance, which is set up with entertainment area, dining area, accommodation area, fitness area, etc."
"The airship is 122.4 meters long, 18.3 meters wide and 14.9 meters high, with a total of 5 electromagnetic thrusters, the airship can reach a maximum speed of 293.4km/s."
Jon looked at the corner of his mouth twitched, there was no way, it was too gorgeous.
It was like a cruise ship, the Titanic of the universe.
"I want faster."
"Ella is generating scenarios, end of scenario generation ..."
"It has been adjusted to the latest scenario, which prioritizes speed, the ship is 332.5 meters long, 67.1 meters wide, 55 meters high, with a total of 11 electromagnetic thrusters, the ship can reach a maximum speed of 875.9km/s."
Even so, it would still take 1,446 years to get to Planet Bighorn.
"Still can't reach it."
Ella replied again at this point, and it turned on resident voice listening.
"You may simultaneously produce dormant cryopods that will help you slumber to your destination."
This was as optimal a solution as Ella could give.
As an engineer, Jon knew that to get a better solution, he would have to increase the arithmetic power.
But it was impossible, arithmetic power needed huge power consumption to support it, and there was no way this ship could provide ...
"Wait!"
Jon thought of something.
"Ella, is it possible to make a controlled fusion device?"
With Ella's arithmetic power at this point in time, it was not impossible to figure out controlled nuclear fusion, after all, in 2037, mankind was actually not far away from controlled nuclear fusion, and it could be made in 100 years at most.
Controlled nuclear fusion production program in fact, mankind has been perfected, the only limitations of mankind can not realize controlled nuclear fusion is, heat insulation and superconducting materials.
The high temperatures triggered by nuclear fusion can reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius.
Controllable nuclear fusion is still boiling water, heat energy converts kinetic energy, so the manufacture of materials is the biggest problem.
"Totally feasible!"
Ella's answer made Jon excited, as long as the energy limit was broken through, then Ella would be able to grow indefinitely, and his chances of surviving in the universe would be greatly improved.
"Set sail then!"
"Head to the asteroid belt and use the resources in the asteroid belt to create a controlled fusion device!"
The ship unfolded its solar panels and changed course with the help of boosters.
...
100 days.
That's a digitizable amount of time.
It took Jon 100 days to reach the asteroid belt.
When he saw the asteroid belt, he had been so excited that he was close to tears.
After all, the daily was too boring, talking to an AI all day long, and even if he played games, he could only play single player games, and the avatars of various chatting apps on his phone had turned gray.
Entering the asteroid belt, the ship stopped next to an asteroid with a diameter of 12 kilometers, which had many impact craters on its surface, and a metallic reflection appeared in the impact craters.
"Analyzing asteroid composition!"
The ship possessed several high-resolution cameras, which were originally intended for Ella.
It didn't take long.
"Analysis complete, this asteroid's main constituent element is iron, followed by magnesium with small amounts of copper and aluminum."
"Magnesium and aluminum can make light metal alloys that can be used to make large robotic shells, iron goes without saying, and steel will take up our main production capacity after that."
"Jon, we could build a factory on this asteroid."
Jon told Ella to call him by his first name directly, it was at least kinder and made Ella more of a person.
Ella was loaded with chatGPT version 15.8, and she did manage to answer like a human at times.
Iron, magnesium, copper, and aluminum are not small metallic elements in the universe.
Jon also felt that this asteroid was more suitable, and while there were some dwarf planets in the asteroid belt, those were not as easy to exploit as these.
The ship descended to the surface of the asteroid under Ella's control.
Jon had also done a consolidation of supplies for the entire ship over the previous 100 days.
He rolled out a huge 3d printer from the warehouse, the 3d printer weighed at least a ton, Jon glanced at the model number.
"C9200, surprisingly a flagship 3d printer."
"Rich!"
This 3d printer was priced at around 7 million dollars, it had the ability to print metal products independently.
He connected the printer's cable to the ship's mainframe.
"Ella, take control of this 3d printer."
"Start making mining type robots."
Jon also thoroughly understood how controlled fusion should be made during these three months.
Although it was only a general understanding, it was a good idea to know how the tech tree should be climbed.
He found a couple more large devices inside the ship, which took up almost most of the space of the ship alone.
One was a greenhouse apparatus and the other was a water and gas conversion device.
These two were for something inside another warehouse.
The seed warehouse!
The ship's main mission was to determine the possibility of Martian immigration, so it came with a large number of seeds.
This was good news for Jon.
Because there wasn't really much food in the spaceship, most of it was compressed cookies and the like, and he had been saving his money for the past three months, trying to wait until he got to the asteroid belt to see if he could find some substances to synthesize the nutrient solution.
Now with the seeds of these plants, that dilemma was solved.
Two of the most important of these seeds were the seeds of rice and soybeans, both of which were huge yielding staples, sources of carbohydrates and protein.
There was some understanding of how plant seeds were stored Jon.
These seeds had not been deeply processed, and there were probably some bug eggs hidden in them, and these bug eggs sleeping in the seeds were probably the only Earth animals other than himself that he would ever see again.
For now, though, he couldn't be bothered to use them.
So he unceremoniously split the two instruments that might later be about being able to eat these plants and threw them into the 3d printer.
"No way."
"Right now it's still more important to have controlled fusion and a real spaceship."
The 3d printer was slow.
It took about a week before Jon got a batch of parts.
He put the parts together and connected the wires he had gotten from disassembling it earlier.
A small robot that was around 40 centimeters tall was finished.
It had an arm and claw on the left, a drill on the right, and acted by means of tracks, plus a couple of mechanical claws that extended out to be able to anchor itself to the surface of an asteroid that had almost no gravity.
"Does this thing really work?"
He was a little skeptical, as the thing was so small.
"Don't worry Jon, this robot may be small, but it can be controlled directly by me."
"With my Ella's intelligence, even a broken rock can become gold."
Let's believe in a wave for now.
Due to the scarcity of batteries, the little robot used a cable connection.
Jon had to do some space operations, going to the outside of the ship to connect the external power supply to it.
It was the first time in his life that he had ever worked in outer space.
He turned off the oxygen valve and put on the spacesuit, it was a little raw, but luckily he had been to an air show and understood some of the basics, or at least wasn't clueless.
Tying the ropes tight, he walked over to the hatch, took a deep breath, and twisted it open.
Gas instantly spilled out of the hatch, and his entire body was pushed, suspended directly in space, the rope collapsing on him.
He was busy tugging at the rope, heading back, and was only a little more relieved when his hand touched the surface of the ship.
The ship was his only shelter now.
He fumbled around, finding the external power port by Ella's cue.
The robot was still in the hatch, but the cable was around his waist, he removed it then plugged it into the locking connection just as he was about to return to the interior of the ship.
Suddenly his visor was struck by a beam of light.
In the next moment, the high-energy beam deflected slightly onto his spacesuit.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
His spacesuit unexpectedly melted.ion ..."
