The construction of a space factory based on Ceres, Vesta, and Hymena in the asteroid belt...

Jupiter is of paramount importance. As the largest gas giant in the solar system, it is itself a huge fuel depot!

Jupiter has enough fuel inside to allow a rabbit to travel to the stars, and Jupiter's own moons are also very valuable!

Although Saturn itself is not easy to explore, it has as many as 60 moons, including Titan, which has an atmosphere and is the only moon in the solar system that actually has an atmosphere!

Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (which has been removed from the solar system) will be the last stop for Rabbit to leave the solar system, and will also serve as the "South Gate" of the solar system.

However, the farther the distance, the greater the difficulty of development. The inner solar system is relatively easy to manage, but the outer solar system is simply too far away. That's why China has formulated a grand plan spanning a thousand years, which is also a kind of confidence. It is confident that within a thousand years, before the solar system's resources are exhausted, it can master "faster-than-light travel"!

My Chinese nation, with its millennia-long aspirations, how vast and boundless!

"Brothers, I'm starting to regret it. I was born too early..."

UP looked at the PPT about the development of the outer solar system and muttered to himself.

Their generation won't live to see that day, and the atmosphere in the live stream immediately became somber. However, the uploader quickly regained his composure and said with a smile:

"...But it doesn't matter, my children, my children's children, and future generations will one day see the day we leave the solar system!"

After touring the Future Exhibition Hall, UP headed to the last stop of the airshow, which was also the grand finale of the entire airshow.

"Brothers... what do you think will be the final performance at the airshow?"

"In short, it's not Pengkun 2..."

Amidst everyone's speculation, the UP entered the final venue, where the entire area became packed with people.

"Dear viewers, the helicopter that will be performing soon is a new type of heavy helicopter from our army. This type of helicopter can adapt to a variety of environments and has a strong ability to adapt to high altitudes."

???

All the audience members were stunned. Why was it a helicopter that was performed in the end, instead of the new equipment they had imagined?

Time passed slowly, and nothing unusual happened in the sky. The highly anticipated new helicopter did not appear, but the authorities would never make fun of them at the airshow.

"what happened?"

"Wait, there seems to be something in the sky!"

As if it were a sixth sense, after being alerted by the authorities, everyone felt that there seemed to be something in the sky.

Seemingly realizing it shouldn't play "hide-and-seek" with the audience anymore, a familiar-looking object slowly appeared in the sky.

The fuselage is slender, with turbine lift fans on both sides and a steering fan at the rear.

"Holy crap... a banshee?!"

The uploader, who thought he would no longer be easily surprised after being exposed to the "big plan," suddenly swore.

I was guessing what the new helicopter was, but it turned out to be a Banshee, and a real Banshee capable of optical camouflage!

Next, the Banshee simply performed some standard helicopter maneuvers, such as hovering, dodging, and simulating ground attacks.

Immediately afterwards, with the roar of engines, two Pelicans flew in from a distance... On the pylons' rear racks, a Skypower powered armored vehicle was also hanging.

Immediately afterwards, the Pelican, in coordination with the Banshee, gave a brief demonstration of infantry deployment.

"Holy shit!"

The Tianquan power armor weighs only 2 tons, making it ideal for rapid deployment, especially in high-altitude regions.

The uploader has already started imagining the Banshee first cloaking herself and unleashing several rounds of firepower on the ground, then, under the cover of the Banshee, the Pelican first deploys its power armor to the battlefield, followed by infantry wearing general combat suits cooperating with the power armor to begin printing.

The Banshee and Pelican performed for less than fifteen minutes before leaving the stage.

The Pelican was alright, but as the Banshee's fuselage slowly disappeared into the air, the faces of everyone in the American conference room across the ocean were practically dripping with gloom.

Banshees can not only print, they can also shoot eagles!

Chapter 373 New Instructions

Half a month has passed since the airshow ended, but the information about the airshow has not cooled down at all, especially the scene of Pengkun-2's low-altitude flyby, which is unforgettable for countless people.

Soon, in Minecraft, a hardcore player recreated the moment when the Pengkun 2 made a low-altitude flyby. Meanwhile, some domestic animation production companies quietly tore up their previous scripts and wrote an even more exaggerated one, because they found that reality was even more magical than comics, and if they didn't change it, they would fall behind the rabbit's pace.

Just as the airshow ended and the year was drawing to a close, China also began the first step of its grand plan: to find the best location on the moon to establish a base.

However, the first step was to announce the "White Paper on Space Development," which stated that China's space station welcomes "old friends" to jointly study the universe and also highlighted the importance of a "community of shared future for mankind" in space development.

It also clearly states that as a large manned space facility, Tiangong Space Station is strictly prohibited from having any spacecraft orbiting it. Any object that comes within 100 km of the space station will be considered "space debris" and will be burned into ions without warning!

After the white paper was released, China kindly sent the orbital information to other countries, marking the orbits and locations that needed attention. This Lagrange point is located at our space station, so please take note! (And, with a knowing smile, tuck away the bricks behind him: "Dear friend, don't say I didn't warn you!")

To accomplish this, the rabbit began launching more lunar rovers to the moon. These rovers were easily identifiable by their distinctive hemp-printed markings. They would explore the moon, scan its geological structure, and search for the most suitable locations to claim them!

Since the moon is an undeveloped satellite, the best place for it should naturally be claimed by those with the capability to develop it. If you disagree, come and try!

Meanwhile, across the ocean, the United States also announced its intention to "return to the moon" and make the US great again!

Not to be outdone, a major world power announced that it would launch more "vertical take-off and landing" alien debris to the moon.

Suddenly, all countries felt the pressure and began preparing to launch "sovereign facilities" toward the moon. This was a time to test their space capabilities, just like the Age of Exploration, where whoever occupied it first got to claim it.

In the rabbit's heavenly palace, more than a dozen iron spheres are carrying out construction around the space station, assembling modules launched from the ground onto the space station.

The entire space station is like a giant Lego brick, pieced together bit by bit, with the main axis being the most important component.

The main shaft adopts a frame structure that is most familiar to rabbits. Through continuous optimization, the frame structure integrates materials such as carbon nanotubes and titanium crystals, bringing it to a new level.

The electromagnetic rail inside the main shaft is made of a new type of superconducting material and is designed to be 1 km long. Such a long electromagnetic rail is enough to launch helium-3 mined from the moon to Earth, and can even dump 2 tons of household waste into a designated landfill on Earth.

In space, the glow of welding torches illuminates the scene as pilots, graduates of a technical college, control iron spheres to weld the large living area of ​​Tiangong. As the first ring of Tiangong, it will serve as the living area for the staff and is one of the areas with the highest security level.

If a regular cabin leaks, that's fine; at most, some gas and substances will be lost. But if the living area leaks, it's a major safety incident!

Therefore, in addition to using titanium crystal as the outer wall material, a 3mm thick layer of high-strength nanomaterial was added to the outer surface of the living area. At the same time, nano honeycombs were deployed, which contain countless programmable nanomaterials.

Once a vulnerability appears on the space station, these nano-honeycombs will be activated, and the nanorobots will then transform themselves into materials to plug the vulnerability.

Furthermore, two "photon printers" have been deployed on the Tiangong space station. When X-band lasers cannot intercept targets, the photon printers will serve as the last line of defense for the Tiangong space station!

"Slow down! Slow down!"

An elderly astronaut in a spacesuit directed an iron ball to move the fusion reactor from the Tiangong space station. Driven by the iron ball, the fusion reactor slowly moved towards the reactor inside the main shaft.

This reactor will provide enough energy for the entire space station to power all modules, especially the living quarters and the space farm, which are the modules that receive the highest priority for power supply.

As a rabbit, I'd grow vegetables even if I had to go to space! No soil? No problem, I can grow them hydroponically! If there are conditions, I'll grow vegetables; if there aren't, I'll create them!

However, the rabbit was soon stumped by another problem. In space, although there is no gravity, there is still a big problem: heat dissipation!

On Earth, heat can easily dissipate through media such as water, air, and coolant. However, in space, heat can only be dissipated through thermal radiation.

CNSC has racked its brains to solve the heat dissipation problem in space. If the heat dissipation problem cannot be effectively solved, spacecraft within the solar system will be fine, but intergalactic spacecraft will not be able to leave the solar system. If the accumulated heat cannot be dissipated, the spacecraft will become floating debris in the universe!

On the Tiangong space station, China will transfer the heat of the space station through a liquid metal coolant, a liquid metal that China has developed that is more efficient than water. This metal will conduct the heat inside the spacecraft to a heat conversion device, convert the heat into electricity, and store it in superconducting batteries.

The remaining heat will be used to boil water to meet the living water needs of the space station, while the heat that cannot be completely consumed will be dissipated through thermal radiation.

However, some scientists have proposed the concept of a "hot tank," which would transfer all the heat from the space station into the hot tank and then launch it into space to release the heat. After all, although laser weapons can fire endlessly using only electricity, overheating remains an unavoidable problem.

Scientists soon turned their attention to grating stones, which, as natural nanoscale optical materials, theoretically convert heat energy into light energy when heated and then emit it.

However, the rabbit is currently running out of grating stones, and the main source of grating stones is the Abyss Sea of ​​Mingrui Star!

If the problem of the starfish civilization in the Abyss Sea cannot be solved, it will affect the future "grand plan" of the rabbit.

Soon, the higher-ups issued a special instruction to the Xirang base.

Volume 3: Abyss Sea Strategy

Chapter 1 Third Kind of Contact

Time: 1400...

Location: Abyss Sea...

In the core area of ​​the Abyss Sea, the Chongming, equipped with a thermonuclear turbine engine and enhanced with improved information processing and battlefield monitoring capabilities, hovered at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

The pilot observed the sea surface, but the naked eye could not see anything unusual. In the reconnaissance pod below the fuselage, high-performance optical sensors and aperture radar scanned the deep sea area, but apart from a vast expanse of turquoise sea, there was only seawater.

Occasionally, fleeting shadows can be detected using photoelectric distributed aperture radar, traces of marine mammals moving underwater...

It is obvious that the starfish civilization is hidden in the deep sea and cannot be found by aerial reconnaissance. If aerial reconnaissance were really used that way, strategic nuclear submarines would not be the most powerful trump card.

Ahead of Chongming were three Qingluan-modified multi-role fighter jets, carrying the 650mm unmanned underwater vehicle for this mission on their heavy 2T-class pylons under their fuselages.

"Located here... This is Chongming. We have arrived at the designated mission location... Over."

In the CIC of Pengkun-1, the commander looked at Chongming's position on the electronic sand table and said in a deep voice, "Prepare to begin!"

"understand!"

Upon receiving the order, the electronic warfare officer in Chongming's cockpit relayed the command to the Qingluan fighter jet.

Upon receiving the order, the Qingluan fighter jet quickly descended to a position about 1 km from the sea surface and launched the unmanned underwater vehicle mounted under its fuselage.

The underwater vehicles were launched in a triangular pattern to facilitate triangulation.

The superiors instructed us to make contact with the starfish civilization in the Abyss Sea to see if we could resolve the issue in a relatively peaceful way, while also gaining experience—experience of a "third kind of contact."

How to make contact with other civilizations is a very profound subject. It is different from contact between humans, where both sides are of the same species and communication is relatively smooth.

However, contact with extraterrestrial civilizations is a difficult problem. The social composition, ideology, values, and even pursuits of the two sides may be completely opposite. For example, human aesthetics may differ. If extraterrestrial civilizations are considered very ugly by humans, it could very likely lead to war between the two sides.

After all, appearance is a very important attribute that can seriously affect communication between two people.

Furthermore, the values ​​of both sides have a significant impact. Most importantly, we should not impose human thinking onto extraterrestrial civilizations. They eat different foods, live different lifestyles, have different social structures, and even exist in different ways. Apart from the most basic survival, everything is different. Blindly applying human values ​​and thinking is too presumptuous.

The purpose of Rabbit's communication this time is to see if it is possible to achieve "win-win cooperation" through exchanges. The starfish civilization is a civilization in the deep sea, so their ability to adapt to the deep sea is unmatched by humans. Could it be possible to let the starfish civilization develop the deep sea and become deep-sea miners through "trade", and then Rabbit can exchange the deep-sea resources back through "equivalent exchange"?

For maritime civilizations, certain resources readily available on land are scarce and difficult to obtain. Furthermore, through exchanges with the starfish civilization, they can obtain sufficient information to further reconstruct the ancient war that caused technological regression in human civilization. This experience can also help China simulate and deduce the impact of nuclear war on human society.

Now that the two sides have decided to communicate, the next question arises: how do the individuals of the starfish civilization communicate with each other? They certainly don't use language like humans do, as human vocal organs are completely unsuitable for the ocean.

After detailed dissections of individual individuals from the starfish civilization, biologists tend to use sound waves to detect what appear to be sound wave collecting devices inside the egg-shaped cockpit of their spacecraft.

It seems that the starfish civilization evolved sonar organs during its long evolutionary process. These organs are found everywhere in marine life, such as dolphins.

Their eye structure also has the ability of microscopic vision, which allows them to see their surroundings in environments with little light. However, if they want to come to shallow waters, they must process the environment inside the cockpit. Otherwise, the sunlight that is gentle to humans will become a blinding light that will seriously damage their visual organs.
