Chapter 427 Sea-Class Battleship

After several years, people clearly saw that the construction facilities in space had doubled, and the number of auxiliary construction spacecraft coming and going was so dense that people felt the power of technology. The space area where humans were located was now brightly lit like a bustling night market.

And the bright lights were new space docks, new warships, new residential spacecraft, new biosphere spacecraft, and new industrial spacecraft.

If a person who saw these spacecraft and warships for the first time was asked to describe them in one word, he would definitely say: huge!

Yes, huge.

In the second-level civilization, the largest lake-class that humans were able to build was the Tianqin, which was about five kilometers long, three kilometers wide and two kilometers high.

Humans at that time could also build larger space structures, but they were too large and heavy to move with the large fleet, so large structures like the space multi-point particle collider needed to be modularly split.

The same is true for warships. If they are too large, the propulsion technology of the second-level civilization simply cannot push them to the highest speed in a short time.

But now it is different. The emergence of magnetic propulsion technology has enabled humans to build larger warships, and the size of the magnetic propulsion device also requires humans to build larger warships.

When the first new warship was pushed out of the space dock, it attracted people's attention. Some enthusiasts even lived in the spaceship and looked at its huge figure through the porthole with a telescope. Because there were other spaceships coming and going near the space dock, these enthusiasts could easily feel the size of the new warship.

Those spaceships next to it are like a wasp and a wasp's nest. This strong contrast is very shocking to people's senses.

According to the data released by the military, these conventional new warships are about 10 kilometers long, about 6 kilometers wide, and 4.5~5 kilometers high. Of course, these data are calculated based on the most prominent parts. In fact, it is not a cuboid, but more like a traditional layout with a small head and a large tail.

In terms of appearance, it is in the same vein as the Lake-class battleship and looks very sci-fi.

For this reason, the design department calls this new warship a sea-class battleship according to the classification of human warship levels.

Of course, it is not as vast as the sea at a length of ten kilometers, but it is almost twice as large as the lake-class battleship. In addition, the various supporting facilities and technologies have been updated, so it can no longer be called a lake-class battleship.

As for the internal layout of the new battleship, especially in the design of the residential area and the combat area, the idea is similar to that of the lake-class battleship. It also has a built-in rotating device for work and rest and hibernation areas.

Civilizations without artificial gravity technology can only generate simulated gravity through rotation. The best performance of the same structure still depends on the residential spacecraft.

The previous residential spacecraft was also large, but it was generally composed of a series of not very spacious suspension modules. Therefore, people living on the residential spacecraft can easily feel that they are in a narrow cabin. Even if it is made into a street, it is still intuitively felt because each suspension module is really not large.

But now it is different. The size of the residential spacecraft is almost the same as that of the battleship, which allows designers to design larger suspension modules. Thanks to this, the width of the streets in this generation of residential spacecraft has reached ten meters, and there is even space on both sides to plan other functional buildings.

Driving a car or battery car on a living spaceship is no longer a problem.

Well, there must be electric cars for humans on the living spaceship to travel, after all, the new spaceship has become really big, and it may take several kilometers to go from your home to other places.

After physical enhancement, humans run very fast, but most people still like to use means of transportation.

It can be said that with the advancement of technology, the living environment of human beings is getting better and better. Under the hands of some designers with earth feelings, these good environments are designed into a style that is very characteristic of the earth. Even in the case of abundant space, many plants that were used as food at the Callisto base are now used to embellish the greening of some scenes.

These plants are considered to be the few plants on the human mother planet. Although they are also vegetable food, they are still very intimate when used as embellishments.

The structure of the living spaceship cannot be separated from the shape of a large drum, but it is just bigger.

This also caused another problem, that is, the difference in gravity effect inside the spacecraft became larger. In order to solve and alleviate this problem, the designer divided the rest area and the living area into relatively suitable gravity environments, while other activity areas and functional areas were placed in the ring where the gravity environment was more different from the gravity of the earth.

It is true that humans can adapt to high-G shocks after genetic technology modification, but staying in a weightless environment for a long time will still have other effects, and scientists have not yet completely found and eliminated these effects.

In fact, even if these factors are found, humans dare not directly modify this billions of years of gravity adaptation gene. As mentioned before, it is a factor that will affect the development and function of the entire human body in all aspects.

So as of now, humans still put their desire to get rid of this rotating living spacecraft on future technology, rather than rudely modifying themselves. Of course, if one day we can fully understand all the mechanisms of the human body adapting to the gravity environment, then it is not impossible to live and grow completely in a weightless environment, but then activities in the earth's gravity environment will become a kind of sentiment, hobby, and habit.

This is a problem in the study of biology and life.

Now, the focus of human beings is on the new warships and new spacecrafts called sea-class battleships.

Conventional sea-class battleships are designed on the original experimental sample spacecraft, only the current spacecraft that has just started construction is designed independently.

It is larger than the conventional sea-class battleship, with a length of 14~15 kilometers, and a height and width of 6~8 kilometers. The reason why it is larger than the conventional sea-class battleship is that humans require it to have stronger armor and more comprehensive capabilities. The part that is larger than the conventional sea-class battleship, most of the space structure is composite armor, like some animal scales stacked there layer by layer.

Obviously, this battleship is the new flagship of mankind in the future, and the name remains unchanged, still called Tianqin.

Due to the existence of polarization shields and magnetic field shields, humans imagine that the war of the third-level civilization must be dominated by kinetic weapons, so if you want to improve the survivability of battleships, there is only one way to stack armor. Of course, you can't stack blindly, you have to ensure the power.

The new Tianqin is the final design after considering various factors.

According to the plan, Tianqin will be completed in a hundred years.

However, it is obviously impossible for humans to set off in a hundred years, because there are still a large number of warships to be manufactured.

Humans have to complete the replacement of various spaceships and warships in this red dwarf galaxy. As for the original Lake-class warships, humans do not intend to throw them away, but build a transportation platform to take them away. Although these Lake-class warships are no longer comparable to the Sea-class warships, they can still be used for other purposes in the future.

The command has not forgotten the plan to train dog-headed people and Kuntai people. They think that these warships may be used to confuse the enemy when necessary in the future.

In short, as long as they are used properly, there is no useless thing.

The old residential spaceships that have been eliminated can also be changed after the rotation speed is changed, so that dog-headed people and Kuntai people can live. However, these spaceships are like Lake-class warships. Humans have to equip them with special magnetic push transportation platforms, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the large forces at that time.
