Chapter 30 Noah's Plan (2)

Yu Yifeng's way of speaking is very skillful. He did not mention the bad news such as the collision between the moon and the earth or the impact of asteroids. Anyway, humans are going to leave the moon, so it doesn't matter if these news are not mentioned.

"I, Yu Yifeng, will temporarily serve as the first captain of Noah!"

"Our spacecraft is a sphere with a diameter of 15 kilometers measured from the outside. From the inside, the space is much larger. The diameter in the horizontal direction is about 200 kilometers, and the length in the vertical direction is 60 kilometers. Think about it, how big is this volume, enough for us humans to use."

"Its mass is constant at 1.03 million tons, no matter how much stuff is inside! We will use the method of detonating nuclear bombs to propel the spacecraft."

"Don't worry, the spacecraft is very safe, and we have enough technical means to ensure this!"

"After the spacecraft takes off, it will reach Mars in just four to five months. We will start a new life on Mars!"

Every word of Yu Yifeng is like a heavy bomb. After every word, people cheer loudly. Gradually, the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak, and everyone began to fantasize about life in the interstellar era.

People are very polarized creatures. Some people are very realistic. They think that ideals are scum. How can they be eaten? Some people are very emotional and can sacrifice everything for their ideals.

However, it is often the latter who can make a great career.

Of course, most people are centrists. After having enough food and clothing, they are willing to fight for their ideals. Now that all the plans have been made, it sounds very feasible. Of course, they are willing to follow Yu Yifeng to do a big job. There are also a small number of people who are unwilling, but they have to follow the crowd.

"Next, please invite the heads of various projects to give speeches on stage..."

After Yu Yifeng's speech, there was thunderous applause from the audience. It is impossible to sustain it for a long time just by relying on passion. Some solid and reliable plans must be used to strengthen people's determination.

Designing a spacecraft that can carry tens of thousands of people is very complicated. So many people eat, drink, defecate and urinate in it. All aspects must be considered. How much oxygen is consumed in a day, how much food is eaten, and how much water is used are all very headache problems.

Like air circulation system, water circulation system, power system, etc., these are all necessary, and there must be a sewage treatment system, you can't make the whole spacecraft stink, right?

Not only that, the spacecraft must have a lot of productivity and be self-sufficient. If something breaks, you can make one immediately. People need factories, farms, and plantations to gradually live a better life.

These are all necessary systems for spacecraft, and none of them can be missing. The lunar base does have these things, but you have to know that it took 30 years to build the lunar base. Now, people only have five short months.

So, the first project is - dismantling! Dismantle the original instruments and facilities and assemble them on the spacecraft.

Don't think this is a simple project. It must be done step by step and in order. Buildings like nuclear power plants must be demolished last. If they are demolished directly, then the power in the base will be cut off?

Like air circulation devices, if they are demolished directly, what will happen to the people in the base? Will they suffocate to death?

This demolition work must be carried out from minor to major, from small to large, while ensuring that people's daily lives are not affected, and gradually moving things into the spacecraft step by step.

The second project is - digging! The entire spacecraft is buried deep underground, with only a little bit of its head exposed. If you want the spacecraft to take off, you have to dig it up completely, which means that people need to dig a big pit with a depth of 15,000 meters!

This project is too large. Logically, it cannot be completed in five months. But in fact, people have been digging for 30 years. There are a lot of ice mines under the spacecraft, and they are digging all the time. Now people only need to dig up the layer of rock and soil close to the side of the spacecraft.

This also leads to the third project - loading! Where should the excavated rock and soil be placed? Load it directly into the spacecraft! Whether it is useful or not, load it in first. Anyway, the space inside is so large that humans can only occupy a small corner of it, and it can never be filled up no matter how much they load.

In the universe, there is no material replenishment. The surroundings are all vacuum, and everything is used less and less. Although materials like water and air can be recycled, they will eventually be consumed. These little by little will add up and eventually become a big problem.

Especially energy, once it is used up, it is 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 full at one time. Now 70% of the electricity in the base is supplied by nuclear power plants, and the rest is solar energy, temperature difference power generation, etc., which only accounts for 30%.

Large-scale mining of uranium is inevitable, as well as ice ore, iron ore, titanium ore... Anyway, we need everything, and we are short of everything, so we just put it all in.

The last project is "building"!

Things like spacecraft engines are not ready-made, and they have to be built out of thin air. This is also the most exaggerated, difficult and exciting project. Things like "100 million tons of nuclear weapons propulsion plan" and "10 million tons of steel production plan" are all in this project.

Talking about this project, the order on the scene was once chaotic. Some former Russians and Ukrainians screamed and roared wildly, as if they had touched their climax. The fighting nation just likes this kind of crazy plan.

Regardless of whether their majors are suitable or not, they all asked to join this project... As a result, they were definitely ruthlessly rejected. Those who should mine should mine, and those who should demolish should demolish honestly. If you are asked to build a nuclear bomb across majors, can you do it?

Wang Zhiyuan took a pen in front of the TV at the beginning to take notes to see if this aerospace project can be realized. In the end, the huge amount of work and the intricate connections were simply not clear. It is also true that three thousand experts worked day and night for two weeks. It is strange that a small citizen can figure it out.

He reluctantly dropped his pen and found that Zhao Chao was jumping around like a kid, so excited that he couldn't help asking, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Interstellar travel, this is interstellar travel! How can I not be excited?!" Zhao Chao shouted incoherently, looking very excited.

"Didn't you take a spaceship when you came to the moon?" Wang Zhiyuan asked puzzled.

"That's different!" Zhao Chao shouted again frantically, "This is real interstellar travel! Three-body civilization, god-level civilization, we are here, haha!" He is an avid fan of science fiction novels. He has read too many strange things, so it's important to YY first.

Wang Zhiyuan has never seen him so happy, and perhaps most people are like this. Originally living a lingering life, suddenly, I found that I was about to create a new era and become a hero of mankind? How can I not be happy? The state of mind before and after is completely different.

The first agricultural transformation plan temporarily solved the problem of survival, but it did not really change the plight of mankind. Does humanity have a future guarding a poor moon? I don't know... or rather, no...

But this space program can be said to be a real revolution, allowing humanity to find the direction to move forward. The risks are huge, but the gains are equally huge. If it really succeeds, humanity can be completely reborn and enter the interstellar era!

Wang Zhiyuan keenly noticed the engineering period of the Noah Project: 5 months. Are humans really so urgent? In fact, not. Maybe the moon-earth collision will really happen, but so what? With the Noah Project, he will never worry about such things again.

In this way, Captain Yu Yifeng is really amazing. Not only is his means of doing things, but his personal abilities are also first-class. If it were the previous leaders, they would not have this courage and organizational ability, and they would have been scared to death, right? Wang Zhiyuan thought with admiration.
