On November 4th, Ye Ming returned to Earth after staying on the moon for two months.
The ETA did not return directly to the provincial capital as usual, but first went to the Jiangnan Space Shipyard for a three-day inspection. During this period, it also met with the leaders who also came to inspect. From this, it can be seen that the leaders are very interested in insects. Hole generators take it seriously.
Ye Ming then returned to the provincial capital and stayed for only two days before setting off again to the capital to participate in the mothership project undertaken by multiple departments and research centers.
Humanity already has experience in the construction and modification of a "Xia" class aircraft carrier, and it seems that there is not much difficulty in the design.
But in fact, because this true space carrier will be an important means for mankind to exert influence in the process of colonizing galaxies in the future, it is also the real frontline brain and center in war, so it still needs to be redesigned .
Although humans have mastered the technology of long-distance communication, they have never pinned everything on long-distance communication - apart from other things, what if something goes wrong with Aita? Wouldn't it be like an alien in a science fiction movie? All the battleships need to do is destroy the "matrix" and turn them into scrap metal.
Therefore, the manned flagship currently configured for the fleet has a system that can separate from Aita's long-distance communication and rely on electromagnetic signals to complete command.
In addition, as a mothership, with the support of the wormhole generator, she does not need to be too fast, but in the currently known space war scenarios, she must have an absolutely safe defense system and certain The counterattack capability-not just relying on carrier-based fighters and escort formations-in a sense, the escort formations also need to be on the front line.
Therefore, between considering high-power main guns and multiple missile silos, the design center chose missile silos and ship-based laser defense systems.
After many measurements and compromises, the specifications of this space carrier, tentatively named CV-1, were finally determined.
She adopts an overall oval-shaped design, with a longest point of 520 meters, a width of 140 meters, and a height of 80 meters - it looks like a fat iron yam.
Such a huge hull makes its internal space very large, enough to accommodate eight maximum-power controllable fusion reactors, and it can also have a hangar for 120 small space aircraft of various types.
At the same time, she also has two fighter release ports, upper and lower, which can release four space fighters at the same time at a speed of thirty seconds.
In addition, she is also equipped with up to 130 missile silos. Theoretically, she can release 390 rice grains in one minute - it's a pity that she doesn't have that many in stock.
Of course, as a multi-functional mothership, its crew space is also ample. It is equipped with a crew cabin that can accommodate up to 1,300 crew members, many functional cabins, and thousands of multi-functional robots.
In theory, it is a fully-equipped space city.
…
"Teacher, you said that since the speed of light is the highest speed in this space, why does the Executor have a tachyon aggregation weapon?"
"Currently we are building a tachyon model, and we speculate that tachyons are most likely a high-dimensional cosmic particle, or a particle in the mirror universe." Ye Ming explained into the microphone while lying on his chair.
Humans and Kerong people have many similarities in the scientific field, especially in the field of explaining phenomena. Egwene may not be able to quickly convert the scientific descriptions of the two civilizations, but Ye Ming has no problem.
For more than a month, relying on Ai Wen's questions and descriptions, he roughly figured out the learning system of the Kerong people.
I have to say that Her Majesty the Queen of Kerong is very clever with her chicken baby.
Her Royal Highness, Princess Egwene, learned calculus at the age of seventeen, dabbled in particle physics and astrophysical physics, and also dabbled in biology and chemistry - and that's not even counting! She is also good at painting and playing the harp...
The girl's regretful voice came from the earphones: "This involves high-dimensional theory again... The teacher's formula is too complicated, I can't understand it."
Ye Ming smiled slightly: "It's actually not complicated. The main reason is that you have not systematically studied the human scientific system, and now you and we have not conducted scientific exchanges and integrations, so it is a little more difficult to understand."
Ai Wen sighed sadly: "I don't know when we can start academic exchanges."
"It's okay if we don't communicate. At worst, you can learn it all over again with Aita."
"Teacher!! I am already a first-level teaching student of the Wisdom Academy! You want me to learn from the beginning!"
Listening to the girl's crazy voice, Ye Ming laughed: "If you learn, you may be the first wise man in the Silver Moon Kingdom to master human scientific knowledge - you are not willing to do such a beautiful thing?"
The girl suddenly became quiet, and after a moment she said quietly: "I want to be a wise man, but it depends on whether my mother and father are willing to give me another brother or sister."
Ye Ming slowly stopped smiling, and smiled again after a few seconds: "Even if you become the queen, it will not prevent you from pursuing science and truth."
The girl hummed softly: "Teacher, is this the reason for your great achievements?"
Ye Ming's eyes flashed slightly and he said softly: "My achievements are just standing on the shoulders of countless great scientists and going a little further. But these two pursuits are indeed the driving force for the development of human science - they Not only for me personally, but for the entire human civilization.”
"In order to pursue science and truth, human beings will do whatever it takes, even if we face the threat of civilization extinction, we will persevere."
The girl became quiet again, and after a moment she hummed softly.
"Teacher, I understand."
After ending the conversation with Ai Wen, Ye Ming took off his headphones and gently rubbed his eyebrows.
During this period, no matter how busy he was, he would still find time to receive Egwene's communication request - all because he wanted to instill some lofty human ideals into this girl who is very likely to become the king.
Yes, human beings may have shortcomings of one kind or another, such as the so-called greed, vanity, arrogance, jealousy and other shortcomings that have been criticized in some literary and artistic works, and even religions have a hand in it. I have also made mistakes...
In those literary and artistic works, there is always a famous scene in which gods destroy humans for their crimes, and then wake up after discovering human kindness, honesty, tolerance and other virtues. Human beings are worthy...
But in Ye Ming's view, or in the view of a scientist, these are all wrong.
The greatest virtue of mankind is the pursuit of truth.
Whether it is "sins" such as greed, vanity, and arrogance, or virtues such as kindness, honesty, and tolerance, in the final analysis, they are acquired.
No one is born noble.
Only by pursuing the truth can the human race move towards true civilization and immortality.
Therefore, it is inherently noble.
After sighing, Ye Ming glanced at the time and then walked to the elevator.
He wanted to see how Li Dongsheng's exploration was going.
