On Monday morning around 7 a.m., Qi Bing, alone, pondered the matter of the spaceship after his wife, children, and in-laws went to school.

"Building a spaceship is inevitable; the only question is when."

"Blue Star cannot build a complete Black Dragon Type 1 spaceship, but it can build a weakened version of the spaceship."

Some of the raw materials needed for the Black Dragon Type 1 spaceship cannot be found on Earth.

Raw materials that are not found on Earth may be found in the solar system.

The solar system has only eight planets, but the number of asteroids is as many as 100 million.

Raw materials that cannot be found on Earth may be found on some asteroids or natural satellites in the solar system.

"Continue to enhance the industrial capabilities of Great Xia, and select a location in Chongqing as a factory area for building spaceships."

Qi Bing, whose divine sense was projected outwards, looked around the entire city of Chongqing and finally decided to locate the spaceship factory in Changyong District.

"We will allocate 100,000 mu of land in Changyong District to initially build an industrial base, and later switch to producing spacecraft."

The machinery and equipment used to build airplanes and automobiles are insufficient to meet the needs of spacecraft production.

Qi Bing went to see the two elders and talked about building an industrial base in Changyong District.

"Xiao Qi, don't we already have an industrial base?"

"I want to build a larger industrial base so that we can build spaceships in the future."

"Xiao Qi, you've developed a spaceship?"

"Not yet. We're preparing now so that once we develop a spaceship, we can start production directly."

"Xiao Qi, a 100,000-mu industrial base will lead to a waste of resources."

"I've already decided to build an industrial base in Changyong District, initially producing fishing boats..."

Qi Bing talked about super-large die-casting machines, super-large forging presses... After the new industrial base is built, other things can be built in the early stages, and once the spaceship technology is developed, spaceships can be produced directly.

The tourism industry is developing rapidly, and the demand for fishing boats and sightseeing boats will continue to increase.

Using an ultra-large die-casting machine to directly stamp the hull not only increases efficiency but also enhances hull strength.

First, we need to develop the materials and machinery required to produce spacecraft, so that we can directly produce spacecraft in the future.

Qi Bing argued his case logically, and Elder Shi and Elder Long both agreed.

Elder Long, who was in charge of Chongqing, quickly secured 100,000 mu of land in Changyong District.

Elder Shi, who was in charge of the Yucheng Industrial Group, mobilized manpower and equipment to start the first phase of the project.

In this era of unity, almost all the people supported Da Xia's projects.

In his spare time from daily life and training, Qi Bing designs ultra-large die-casting machines and ultra-large forging machines...

"Using an ultra-large die-casting machine, an 18-meter-long hull can be die-cast in one go."

After spending more than half an hour, Qi Bing developed a fully covered fishing boat that is 18 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 6 meters high.

"Theoretically, it has a full load displacement of 150 tons and a top speed of 35 knots, making it suitable for both fishing and sightseeing."

"The hull and top are die-cast and then riveted and welded together. Including installation, it takes at most three days to build a single ship. If production continues, as long as there are enough workers, it is no problem to build dozens of ships a day."

The standard production process for a ship of the same size involves too many steps and would take at least two months.

Referring to their self-developed fishing boat, Qi Bing devised the molds and feeding mechanisms needed for the ultra-large die-casting machine...

Even with the corresponding molds, if problems such as feeding and temperature cannot be solved, the hull and top of the ship cannot be die-cast.

Having mastered all the technologies related to fishing boats, Qi Bing seized the opportunity to research and produce aircraft shells using die casting.

If the aircraft shell can be produced by die casting, there is almost no need to worry about the aircraft disintegrating in the air.

"The outer shell of the Black Dragon-1 spacecraft was produced by die casting. The die casting machine used to produce the spacecraft was 360 meters in diameter, and its size far exceeded many people's knowledge and imagination."

"Die casting to produce fishing boats seems a bit too small-scale and can't produce spaceships for the time being. However, we could consider die casting to produce the hull of an aircraft carrier. A one-piece molded hull would have promising strength."

Die casting can produce the hull of an aircraft carrier, as well as the large parts required for aircraft carrier production, increasing the speed of aircraft carrier construction by at least tenfold.

In my previous life, it took nearly seven years to build an aircraft carrier domestically, while it took eleven or twelve years to build one overseas.

If we can die-cast the hull and deck of an aircraft carrier, it is very likely that an aircraft carrier can be built in a few months, and mass production can be achieved.

In his spare time, Qi Bing began to think about a super die-casting machine for building aircraft carriers.

One cylinder isn't enough pressure? Then get more cylinders.

The cylinder technology isn't up to par? Use the simplest method: increase pressure with weight.

In theory, if 100,000 tons of pressure is required, then only 100,000 tons of weight need to be placed on it.

To manufacture heavy objects suitable for hoisting, the pressure of the die-casting machine can be increased without the need for cylinders.

With the existing technology and equipment of Daxia, it is sufficient to produce semi-fixed cranes capable of lifting thousands of tons of weight.

One thousand tons can be lifted in one go, ten times can lift ten thousand tons, and one hundred times can lift one hundred thousand tons.

One semi-fixed crane isn't enough? Then we'll use ten, or even a hundred.

The ruthless Qi army mastered the die-casting technology for the hull of a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier.

Elder Shi and Elder Long were shocked after reading the plan that Qi Bing brought.

"Xiao Qi, is this technology really feasible?"

"I've reasoned this out many times, and there's no technical problem."

All the technologies developed by Qi Bing have been tested many times in the Xuanhuang World and there are no problems.

Many technologies are not impossible to develop, but rather there is little demand for them, or they are not needed.

In the past, many people complained that China couldn't produce ballpoint pen refill steel. As a result, a steel plant used its smallest furnace to produce a batch of steel, and the overseas factories that smelted ballpoint pen refill steel went bankrupt.

Nowadays, there are many cranes that can lift 10 tons. In theory, if they are scaled up proportionally, they can lift hundreds or thousands of tons.

One steel cable isn't strong enough? Then add more steel cables.

With no regard for cost, we can hoist materials up to 1,000 tons, or even 10,000 tons, without any problem.

"Once this die-casting technology is put into use, our manufacturing capabilities will definitely be greatly improved."

"I'm a little worried that if the die casting fails, it will waste a lot of financial, material, and human resources."

"The bold get rich, the timid starve. Yucheng Industrial Group has plenty of funds, so we can take a gamble."

"I agree to give it a try. Even if it fails, the loss is acceptable."

"Let's practice with fishing sightseeing boats first. If it works, then we'll build an aircraft carrier die-casting machine."

A brand-new shipyard has sprung up, and engineers from Chongqing Industrial Group are leading a team to install an ultra-large die-casting machine...

Mid-October, Changyong District Shipyard.

Standard steel is fed into an electric arc furnace, and after the steel turns into liquid, it is injected into a super-large die-casting machine through pipelines.

An electric arc furnace was installed next to the super-large die-casting machine to directly die-cast the ship's hull.

Another extra-large die-casting machine is specifically used for die-casting ship tops.

In less than two hours, a hull and a roof were die-cast.

After the hull and roof cooled, they were sanded, cleaned, and painted. Then, an engineer led a team to install the engine...

In less than three days, a brand-new fishing sightseeing boat was completed.

The fishing sightseeing boat underwent a sea test and not only were no problems found, but it was also very stable.

Qi Bing's fishing sightseeing boat features a gravity balance system, allowing it to quickly return to an upright position, much like a roly-poly toy, even if it capsizes in super waves.

The measured data matched the design parameters, and the fishing sightseeing boats began mass production.

It only takes a little over an hour to die-cast a hull and a roof.

With enough manpower, the production capacity of just two super-large die-casting machines can produce thirteen fishing sightseeing boats every day.

Other shipyards would take at least three months to build the same ship.

After successful technology verification, a meeting was held to discuss the matter and unanimously agree to build super die-casting machines in all five major shipyards to die-cast the hulls of aircraft carriers, destroyers, submarines, cargo ships, and fishing boats, respectively.
