Chapter 720 The Solar System, We Can't Stay Anymore
Qian Zhenhua continued:
"If the Kuafu test is successful, the shipborne shield module can be put into mass production."
Qian Zhenhua's words immediately caught everyone's attention.
That was the ticket for the Great Xia spaceship to truly enter the interstellar battlefield!
On the screen, the 3D model of the Kuafu slowly rotated.
A light blue energy shield covered the outside of the ship, completely enveloping the entire spaceship.
Qian Zhenhua continued:
"At the same time, the first large-scale pilot plant of the planetary-level automated industrial system architecture has begun construction."
The scene changes.
A huge model of an underground factory appeared before everyone's eyes.
From ore crushing, material smelting, precision machining, module assembly to the final product roll-off, the entire production line is almost entirely completed by intelligent systems.
Robotic arms are densely packed together, and transport tracks crisscross.
The intelligent scheduling system acts like a brain, connecting every step of the process.
Qian Zhenhua said:
"What's truly terrifying about this factory is that it can compress the entire supply chain into a closed loop."
"Raw ore goes in, finished product comes out."
Those who truly understand industry know what this statement means.
This is a qualitative leap, a generational change in the production system!
Once it's done, the industrial capacity of Great Xia will no longer be the same system built up by manpower, experience, scheduling, and extreme exploitation.
It is a steel behemoth that can be replicated, expanded, and consume massive amounts of resources!
Qian Zhenhua smiled slightly.
"To put it conservatively, the speed of our core military and aerospace manufacturing can be increased by more than a hundred times in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp filled the conference room.
hundred times!
What the Great Xia Dynasty lacks most right now is time.
The Blue Star Cataclysm, the Demon Invasion, the Battle of Kona, the Terra Continent—every storyline is a death knell.
Increasing production capacity a hundredfold is tantamount to snatching lives from the jaws of the apocalypse!
Qian Zhenhua didn't keep them in suspense and continued:
"The biggest challenge in spacecraft manufacturing has never been a single technology, but rather the sheer size, the numerous parts, and the complexity of the processes."
"The industrial chain involved in a kilometer-class spacecraft far exceeds that of ordinary large equipment."
"At the past pace, it would take four years to build one Kuafu-class spaceship, and it would require almost an entire top-notch industrial team."
"But if the automated industrial system is fully deployed, the construction speed of a mature shipyard can be reduced to one ship per year at the fastest."
Someone immediately followed up with, "One ship a year?"
Qian Zhenhua nodded.
"That's right."
"A kilometer-class large spacecraft, one per dock, one per year."
"Our initial plan is to build a large shipyard for each of the thirty-six underground cities."
"Once the system matures, Great Xia is expected to be able to roll out 36 large spaceships a year."
boom!
The murmurs in the meeting room could no longer be suppressed.
Thirty-six ships a year!
Compared to one ship every four years in the past, this is a leap in the level of civilization!
Lin Mo sat to Zhao Lao's left, feeling a slight warmth in his heart as he listened.
He had witnessed the black tide of demons on the battlefield of Terra.
I've also seen plasma worms traversing space outside of Kona Satellite.
In the past, when facing interstellar warfare, the Great Xia Dynasty always felt a sense of urgency that its equipment was being forced to keep pace with the times.
But things are different now.
Once the shipyards are operational and the spaceships are ready to go, Great Xia will no longer be just a planet on the defensive.
The Great Xia Dynasty will have its own fleet and will fully embrace interstellar civilization!
Qian Zhenhua raised his hand to silence the murmurs of the crowd.
"In addition to shipyards, the technology for heavy engineering robots has also been analyzed."
"The first batch of blueprints has been distributed to major robot factories, and production lines are being upgraded."
"This technology will directly change the speed of lunar terraforming, Terra Industries, Kona Outpost, and the terraforming of Earth itself."
At this point, his voice deepened slightly.
"Especially the planetary engines!"
The meeting room fell silent again.
The words "planetary engine" hold immense significance for the Great Xia Dynasty.
Three years ago, the magnetic field of Earth began to weaken abnormally, and its rotation began to slow down continuously.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, superstorms, and soaring temperatures erupted one after another.
All countries are being forced to retreat to the North and South Poles and underground refuge systems.
Daxia had also prepared for the worst-case scenario.
If Earth is beyond saving, then preserve the human race.
The Underground City Project, the Mars Project, the Lunar Project, and the Spaceship Project are all "arks" built for the continuation of the race.
But that's a choice made when there's no other option.
Who would be willing to abandon their home planet?
Who would willingly leave the place where their ancestors lived for generations to be left to die in disaster?
"The Academy of Sciences has recalculated it." Qian Zhenhua took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and then put them back on.
"Based on the latest progress in automated industrial systems and heavy engineering robots, we have the opportunity to complete the orbital separation project between Earth and the Moon before Earth falls into the dangerous critical point of the Sun."
"In other words, we can now choose not to abandon Earth, which we were originally prepared to give up on."
Everyone in the conference room was stunned, even Lin Mo subconsciously sat up straight.
The entire blue planet can finally be saved!
A person in charge of the underground city construction suddenly clenched the pen in his hand.
Some people's eyes were slightly red, while others opened their mouths but couldn't utter a single word.
Blue Star can persevere.
These words carried too much weight for the people of Daxia.
That's not an ordinary planet.
That's home, our home planet, our cradle!
Even with frequent disasters, even with atmospheric loss, even with earthquakes, tsunamis, and superstorms tearing the earth's surface to shreds.
It remains the place where everyone is born, grows up, and is buried with their ancestors.
Old Zhao's expression was also momentarily moved.
But he quickly suppressed it, took a deep breath, and slowly nodded.
"It's a good thing that we can preserve Earth."
Qian Zhenhua shook his head.
"It's not about staying."
Everyone was taken aback.
Qian Zhenhua said in a deep voice:
"We still can't stay in the solar system."
Qian Zhenhua pointed to the screen.
The orbital models of the Blue Star, the Moon, the Sun, and the major planets in the solar system appeared simultaneously.
On the originally stable tracks, glaring red offset markers have appeared.
"The chain reaction caused by the slowdown of Earth's rotation is still expanding. Earth is deviating from its orbit and falling towards the sun. The orbits of the major planets in the solar system have also been disturbed and will gradually become disordered over time."
"Staying in the solar system is extremely risky!"
"So, we can save Earth, but ultimately we will have to leave the solar system, just like the Moon Project."
"Towards the universe."
The conference room erupted in chaos again, everyone's eyes filled with shock.
Taking Earth out of the solar system?
Isn't this like The Wandering Earth from a science fiction movie?
Has it become a reality?
