I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 598: Second Generation Warp Engine

The outer space of Mars is extremely lively, and several huge spacecraft factories are extremely busy.

From time to time, a large number of small anti-gravity aircraft take off and land in these space spacecraft factories, transporting parts for the construction of huge spacecraft.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

At this time, accompanied by a series of alarms, the central control systems of spacecraft factories, space cities, space ports, etc. in space, and the supercomputers began to calculate rapidly again.

This is the alarm sounded when an asteroid is about to arrive at Mars and is about to hit Mars.

Once the computer system has completed repeated calculations and confirmed that it will not cause any impact, the alarm will be automatically lifted.

People also looked towards the vast void. A huge asteroid was flying towards Mars rapidly.

The ground on Mars is also very lively, with Martian bases, Martian factories, and Martian farms standing on the land of Mars.

These factories, bases, farms, etc. have not changed due to the upcoming asteroid.

This kind of thing is commonplace on Mars. Hundreds of asteroids are mined every year, and currently they are all mined by impacting Mars.

All asteroids have formed fixed impact areas on Mars. The area and time of each asteroid's impact will be repeatedly calculated by supercomputers to confirm that they are correct.

Even if there are a few asteroids that may pose a threat to Martian bases and factories, there is now a mature solution. There are energy cannons in outer space on Mars that can directly destroy such asteroids.

There are also special laser cutting spacecraft that can fly over to cut and disperse asteroids, and use spacecraft to dismember the asteroids and bring them back to Mars.

The mining of asteroids has already formed a complete set of perfect systems and institutions, and it has been running very perfectly without any problems so far.

"Pity!"

"It would be great if Mars was a planet with life!"

"What a beautiful planet!"

Inside the eighth outer space spacecraft factory on Mars, Liu Fei stood by the window overlooking the entire Mars and couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Fei has been on Mars for almost three months. After finishing his work every day, he likes to overlook the entire Mars in a flash.

This red planet, which used to be a lifeless place, has now become an important industrial planet.

Asteroid mining, steel smelting, metal processing, spacecraft manufacturing, Martian agriculture, etc. are developing extremely rapidly.

The GDP created every year is astonishing, and a large amount of tax revenue is also generated. Millions of people live and work on Mars.

Every day, more than a dozen spacecraft travel between Earth and Mars.

Compared to the Blue Planet, Mars can be regarded as a planet that belongs exclusively to our fellow countrymen.

Although no one admits this, there is no way to deny it, because the fact is that Mars has been completely occupied by the locals, which has become an fait accompli.

Any foreign spacecraft or probe must be approved and agreed by the locals before it can be launched to Mars, otherwise it will be destroyed directly.

"If it was a planet with life, we wouldn't just hit it with asteroids."

"If it were on the Blue Planet, we wouldn't be able to mine asteroids by having them hit our planet."

Fu Chunxiong on the side said with a smile.

“So, you still have to have your own planet.”

"In fact, with our current technology, mining asteroids by asteroid impact is already a very mature technology."

"In fact, it can be done here on Blue Star."

"The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, with large areas of uninhabited areas, making it an ideal asteroid impact site."

"And the Sahara Desert, which is also huge and a very good asteroid impact site."

"As long as it is allowed, it is completely possible."

"But Blue Star is not our own planet. Many simple things will become extremely complicated, or even impossible to accomplish."

Jiang Fan next to him also nodded and said.

"So Blue Star should just let it stay like this."

"In the future, our center will be the Zhongyuan Galaxy."

Liu Fei nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look at our second-generation warp engine!"

Thanks to Liu Fei's breakthroughs in warp theory and warp engine technology, Feiyun Technology was able to successfully produce the second-generation warp engine.

The three of them soon arrived at a huge production workshop.

This was originally the workshop for producing the first generation of warp engines.

The entire workshop is very large, more than 200 meters high and more than 100 meters long and wide.

You have to know that this is not on the planet, but in space, in a spacecraft factory.

Such a huge workshop is a place dedicated to the production of the first generation of warp engines.

The first generation of warp drives were enormous.

The first generation warp engine, 'Spacetime Heart Type 1', is very large.

It is more than 80 meters long, 30 meters wide and 20 meters wide, and looks like a huge building as a whole.

At the same time, the weight of the first-generation warp engine 'Space-Time Heart Type 1' is surprisingly large.

Its main structure is made entirely of simple materials, and its overall weight exceeds 200 billion tons.

However, in the workshop before his eyes, the second-generation 'Spacetime Heart Type 2' warp engine had already been produced.

There have been huge changes in both size and weight.

In terms of size, its height has been reduced to 30 meters, its length is only 15 meters and its width is only 10 meters.

Although it is still huge and a behemoth, it is much smaller than the first-generation warp engine.

At the same time, its weight is also much smaller. The first-generation warp engine weighs more than 200 billion tons, while the second-generation warp engine weighs only 30 billion tons, which is only about one-seventh of the weight of the first-generation warp engine.

The size is much smaller and the weight is much smaller.

It can also be built much faster.

The construction period of the first warp engine spacecraft takes as long as 16 months, which means it takes almost a year and a half to complete a warp engine.

This cycle is very long.

You should know that Feiyun Technology's technology is extremely advanced, with a highly mechanized, intelligent, and virtualized production method, but it still takes a year and a half to complete the production of the first generation of warp engines.

The key here is that the first warp engine is so large and heavy that it requires a large amount of steel resources to create degenerate materials, and then use the degenerate materials to create warp engine components.

The whole process requires a lot of time, manpower, material resources and financial resources.

Now the construction period of the second-generation warp engine is very short, only about 2 months.

Compared with the first generation which took 16 months, the second generation's 2-month cycle is very short, only one-eighth of the first generation.

The reason is the same.

Because the second-generation warp engine is small in size and mass, it requires much less degenerate material, and the entire construction period can be greatly shortened.

"boss!"

"The production cost of our first generation warp engine is about 10 trillion rabbit gold!"

"Now the production cost of the second-generation warp engine has been reduced to less than 5000 billion, which is almost one twentieth of the original cost!"

Fu Chunxiong smiled and introduced to Liu Fei the production cost of the second-generation warp engine.

As the first second-generation warp engine was produced, the relevant data was naturally calculated in the first time.

The production cycle is greatly shortened, the required degenerate materials are greatly reduced, and its cost is also dropping sharply, and it doesn't even need to cost 5000 billion.

"The warp drive is the most expensive component on a warp spacecraft."

"The cost of the second-generation warp engine has been reduced to less than 5000 billion, so the cost of the warp spacecraft can also be controlled within 1 trillion."

Jiang Fan heard it and said after a quick calculation.

"No problem at all!"

Fu Chunxiong nodded and said, "The warp engine and the controlled nuclear fusion reactor are the two most expensive parts of a warp spacecraft."

"The cost of a controlled nuclear fusion reactor can also be greatly reduced after it is miniaturized."

"Moreover, the warp-speed spacecraft can also be miniaturized, and the cost can be controlled at around 1 trillion."

"After the cost is reduced, our warp spacecraft can be sold at a lower price, and it will be more popular at that time." "The first generation of warp spacecraft is too expensive, with a price of tens of trillions of gold. Only the national team can afford it, and private companies can't afford it at all."

"But the second-generation warp spacecraft is different. The cost is about 1 trillion. It is completely reasonable for us to sell it for or trillion."

"Although the price is still very expensive, there are still many large companies that can afford it."

"By then, we will have a larger customer base, and I think it will not be a problem to sell dozens of ships a year."

"And we can also build more warp spacecraft for interstellar space exploration."

After listening to this, Liu Fei immediately smiled and said, "There must be enough interest to drive private investment in the purchase of warp-speed spacecraft."

"At present, there is not much benefit in colonizing the interstellar universe."

"Even if we occupy a life planet, the most we can do is to mine its resources, and it will be difficult to make a profit."

"Without sufficient profit incentives, our warp spacecraft may not be easy to sell."

"People abroad dream of buying our warp spacecraft, but we can't sell it to them."

"It's not easy to sell warp spacecraft on a large scale."

Liu Fei looked at the second-generation warp engine in front of him. Overall, it looked similar to the first generation, with a honeycomb shape and countless curved surfaces. These surfaces were a perfect fusion of mathematics, physics, warp theory, cosmology, and space science, full of technology and artistic beauty.

"There must be enough benefits!"

"The value of a living planet is infinite!"

"With a warp drive, we can explore the interstellar universe and occupy planets with life."

"If we can occupy a planet with life and develop it for a long time, the benefits will be enormous."

"No matter how barren a planet with life is, as long as it is developed and utilized reasonably, it should not be a problem to easily produce trillions of resources a year."

Fu Chunxiong thought about it and said with certainty.

“We need talented people to produce enough!”

“It would be difficult without someone.”

Jiang Fan shook his head and said.

"No one can use robots. Our robotics technology is already quite advanced now."

"Let's not talk about anything else. After occupying a life planet, mining on it, or developing agriculture, animal husbandry, etc., will all bring huge benefits."

"Once private companies can purchase warp spacecraft at an affordable price, believe me, our second-generation warp spacecraft will sell like hot cakes!"

"I believe that a large number of people will invest in this field, and by then the 100-light-year area around our solar system will soon be completely occupied by everyone."

Fu Chunxiong's views are completely opposite to those of Liu Fei and Jiang Fan.

He felt that once Feiyun Technology launched the second-generation warp engine, it would definitely trigger a new round of craze for interstellar universe exploration.

He even said excitedly: "The wave of the interstellar colonization era is really coming!"

"By then, we will be like the European colonists in history, with a fleet of several shopping ships traveling around the world, colonizing various places, and plundering wealth from the vast starry sky."

"Countless poor people and people from the lower classes will head toward the starry universe like a tide, and venture into the interstellar universe with a desire for wealth."

Liu Fei immediately smiled and said, "Look how excited you are."

"I think it's still not realistic in the short term. The price of the second-generation warp spacecraft is still too high. This means that only really big companies, big enterprises, and big financial groups can afford it."

"As for ordinary people, they can only work part-time."

“Even if the price of a warp-speed spacecraft drops to a few hundred billion in the future, it is still not affordable for ordinary people. It is still exclusive to the truly wealthy.”

"However, the arrival of an era contains countless opportunities. Ordinary people can achieve a comeback in life as long as they seize the opportunities."

"Everything is possible!"

"And once large-scale overseas colonization and expansion takes place, a large number of ordinary people will be needed to travel to the interstellar universe, which will naturally bring countless opportunities."

"The key is whether private companies and groups will be allowed to colonize and expand in the interstellar universe."

Fu Chunxiong nodded in agreement after listening: "Well, policy is very important!"

"Only if private groups and companies are allowed to colonize and expand in the interstellar universe will people be willing to buy warp spacecraft."

"Otherwise, if we spend trillions to buy warp-speed spacecraft and get no return, people are not fools and will not invest."

"This is not something we need to consider. I believe that relevant systems will naturally emerge in due course."

"After all, as long as there is interest, someone will push for it."

Liu Fei smiled and said.

In fact, Jiang Zhiyuan, Nan Junpeng and Wan Youguang are very well-informed.

Not long after Feiyun Technology produced the second-generation warp engine, they received the news and found Liu Fei as soon as possible.

In a virtual world.

"Mr. Liu!"

"I heard that your Feiyun Technology Group has made a breakthrough in warp engine technology and is now able to produce the second-generation warp engine?"

Jiang Zhiyuan looked at Liu Fei and was very excited.

The cost of the first generation of warp engines is too expensive, and the price of the first generation of warp spacecraft is also very expensive.

Even the national team can't afford to buy a few ships.

Up to now, we have only placed orders for 8 ships with Feiyun Technology.

This is all because we are very rich now, and coupled with the importance of the interstellar universe era, we gritted our teeth and placed the order.

Now hearing the news about the second-generation warp engine, he was of course extremely excited and came here immediately.

"Correct!"

"We have indeed made a new breakthrough in warp engine technology and successfully manufactured the second-generation warp engine!"

Liu Fei did not hide anything. There was no way to conceal this matter. Since the other party had come to him, he must have known the news.

“How much can the cost be reduced?”

Nan Junpeng asked anxiously.

"This is our company's trade secret!"

"I can only say that the cost has been greatly reduced. In the future, the price of a warp-speed spacecraft will be reduced to several trillion dollars per ship."

Liu Fei said immediately, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Although you are a big customer, you cannot directly ask us about our costs, otherwise how can we do business in the future?

"Reduced to a few trillion per ship?"

"Great!"

When Wan Youguang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "We are worried that there are not enough spaceships to establish navigation between various galaxies."

"If it's a few trillion dollars a ship, this warp-speed spaceship isn't too expensive."

"What about performance?"

Jiang Zhiyuan followed up and asked.

"The performance is dozens of times stronger than the first generation. A warp flight can cross a distance of several light years, and the time consumed will be greatly reduced."

Liu Fei said with a smile.

"Great!"

“Not only is the price significantly reduced, but the performance is also much better.”

"It would be even better if the price could be reduced to a few hundred billion per vessel."

"When the time comes, I won't feel bad about placing orders for dozens of ships at once."

Nan Junpeng clapped his hands and said, "The era of interstellar space has truly arrived!"

"From now on, whether it's exploring new galaxies or migrating to new life planets, strengthening exchanges between galaxies will become more convenient and faster!"

"The interstellar universe era is rolling in!"
