The second batch of three spaceships built by the Earth Headquarters began to be built almost at the same time, because all kinds of key components were cast in the same batch one after another, so the construction progress between the three spaceships was almost the same, and they were all rapidly in the construction of various subsystems matured, a little bit full, complete.

Only the super-giant spaceyard, which is the final stage of the final assembly project, is a relatively scarce resource, so the next spacecraft can only be used after the previous spacecraft is completed and rolled off the assembly line, thus affecting the completion progress.

Although the overall scientific and technological content of the super-giant space dock is far less than that of the super-light speed spaceship, as the assembly platform of the super-high-speed spaceship with extremely high precision requirements, its technical content and technical level requirements are also extremely high-end, plus its volume is super huge, the light length is several times that of the super-light speed spaceship hull, and a variety of ultra-high-precision complex precision machining and assembly machinery are also integrated on the assembly platform, so the overall construction difficulty and engineering quantity are also quite huge, and the time required to build the dock is also very long, not much faster than manufacturing a spaceship, invested in the completion of a super-giant space dock, and thus became a rather large and difficult project.

Although the earth civilization is also quite anxious to develop the superluminal spacecraft manufacturing industry, but the overall industrial pattern of the faster-than-light spacecraft manufacturing industry is too huge, after the completion of the first emperor spacecraft as a whole, the entire earth civilization began to build a new second-generation spaceship, and on the other hand, proceeding from reality, greatly adjusted and optimized the various branches of the super-light spacecraft manufacturing industry, and the members of the various branches of the industrial system of the entire earth civilization are busy, and naturally they can't divide the huge enough manpower and can't take out the corresponding huge resources to carry out the large-scale expansion project of the new super-giant space dock。

Although the corresponding dockyard manufacturing project has been included in the list of blueprints for the development of civilization for the sake of long-term considerations, and the number of supergiant space docks will be gradually expanded in the coming decades, this plan is not the most important direction of development.

After all, in a short period of time, because the number of faster-than-light spaceships that the earth's civilization needs to build now is not too large, the two-year delay in the final assembly of each spaceship is naturally not unbearable.

After all, the new spacecraft design is more mature, the technology is more optimized, and the overall performance has been greatly improved, not only the maximum flight speed has been raised to the level of 3.15 times the speed of light, but also the maximum single cruise time has been increased to two years, and because the maturity of various subsystems is higher, the production and processing level of core components is more in line with the standard, the quality has been significantly improved, and the difficulty of maintaining the spacecraft during the flight interval has also been reduced a lot, and the time has been greatly shortenedIt is estimated that a round trip will not take a total of 15 years, compared to the 22 years required for the first emperor's round trip, which can be said to be a huge change.

Of course, this time does not include the docking time of the spaceship on the Monster Planet, but as the development of the Monster Planet gradually increases, a large number of people gather on the Monster Planet, and various industries gradually mature, the docking time required after the arrival of the spacecraft will undoubtedly be greatly shortened.

The reason why the First Emperor spaceship had to dock on the Giant Beast Planet for a year was because the infrastructure on the Giant Beast Planet at that time was not perfect, and tens of millions of immigrants could not be settled quickly, so they had to wake up the immigrants in small batches, which greatly delayed the docking time.

And because most of the manpower and material resources of the Giant Beast Planet base at that time were consumed on the improvement and support of various infrastructure projects, all the materials required for the return of the spacecraft had to be prepared by the team members themselves, which also greatly consumed time, if not, the First Emperor spacecraft would not need to stay on the Giant Beast Planet for a year at a time, which greatly extended the time consumed for the round trip.

However, with the stable production and development of more than ten years, relying on mature technology and production system, today's Behemoth Planet has long been different from what it used to be, although the overall development height and the scale of the industrial system cannot be compared with the earth's own land, but from the perspective of social life alone, it is already extremely rich, and it also has the ability to assist the spacecraft to quickly wake up the immigrant members and fill the spaceship's cargo hold.

Once the new spaceship arrives at the Behemoth Planet, it no longer needs to be forced to the point where it has to collect supplies by itself like the First Emperor spaceship, and after staying for a month or two, it can completely start to return home.

In addition, the size of the new spacecraft has been greatly improved compared to the First Emperor, and the number of passengers that can be carried at a time has increased by as much as 1.5 times.

Compared with investing a huge amount of resources in exchange for such an obvious increase in the efficiency of the spaceship, the delay of one or two years in the manufacturing process is undoubtedly not a big deal at all, and the spacecraft can be retrieved several times in a round-trip voyage, and in the case of relatively insufficient resources in a short period of time, everyone understands how to choose.

Speaking of which, after more than two hundred years of development, the earth civilization relies on its super large civilization size, civilized population, and relatively much stronger ability to obtain materials compared to sub-stellar civilizations, as well as rich reserves of various materials.

However, the new batch of spaceships, because compared with the original construction of the First Emperor spaceship, more mature, more efficient, larger size, so in the entire construction process, the various resources required to spend are even more huge, not to mention that in just 20 years, the earth civilization lacks 10 million prime-aged people to participate in the social division of labor at the same time, but also needs to start the construction of three faster-than-light spaceships at the same time, such a huge project investment, in a short period of time can not be exchanged for income, which is equivalent to a short period of investment in a short period of time, but the income level has not increased significantly, there will be a shortage of materials for a while, which is also a very normal thing.

You must know that, similar to the current situation of the earth's civilization, it is a highly intelligent civilization period as a whole, and all the data of social operation are completely controllable and quantifiable, and generally follow the operation mode of maximizing efficiency.

The so-called efficiency maximization model, is the industrial chain interlocking, each social link is coordinated with each other, production in an orderly manner, no matter which link of the production quantity can be described as just right, there will not be much surplus [also called to inventory], in this way, the entire social system of each post is mobilized at full power, there will be no unnecessary consumption, there will be no blind production, so as to form the whole social efficient operation.

Under this mode of operation, the various industrial chains in the society are balanced with each other, the overall consumption is large, and the ability to obtain resources is also large, but the reserves of various materials are relatively not large, because too many reserves are essentially a waste, anyway, some are meteorite ore stars, and some are reserve resource reserves, if needed, although increase manpower, adjust the social division of labor, and go to mining, why store a large number of unused resources to waste, since everyone is this concept, naturally the reserves are relatively small。

Of course, this is not a large reserve, and it is also a relative concept, and in absolute terms, it is also extremely large, but such a huge reserve material, once it is consumed by the entire civilization, the speed of consumption is quite fast, and it will not last long at all.

And in terms of decades of history, compared to the entire civilization, it is also an extremely huge large-scale investment, and such reserve resources are naturally even more insufficient.

Within a certain period of time, the population of the earth's civilization is certain, and the ability to obtain resources is also certain, but there are indeed countless projects and plans that need to be carried out, so naturally we can only pick up the most important, most prioritized, and most useful projects to implement.

The construction of the super-giant spaceyard is not the most efficient in a short period of time, and it is not the most needed in a short period of time, so the natural construction efforts are relatively much less, and when all three spaceships of the second batch are completed, the second super-giant spaceyard has not been completely built, and naturally, the second batch of spaceships and spaceships can only use up one spaceship in close to the only super-giant spacedock first, and then enter the dock for final assembly.

After the first spaceship of the second batch of Earth civilization was successfully launched, the other two spacecraft were also cast at a two-year interval, and by the time the third spacecraft rolled off the line, the First Emperor spacecraft had returned to Earth for nearly a year.

Because of the immigration experience of the First Emperor spaceship as an example, the earth at this time, the enthusiasm for interstellar immigration can be described as high, so that the second offline spaceship also started its own interstellar immigration mission not long after it was built, and there are countless citizens who have signed up to participate in immigration, although the second batch of two newly built spaceships, although it is full of 30 million immigrants, but it is far from being able to meet all the earth humans who have curiosity and curiosity of the whole earth civilization, so the spacecraft recruitment of immigrants has been completed very smoothly, only some people lament that they have not caught up with the good time, and did not pretend to be dissatisfied.

However, when the second spacecraft began to carry out the interstellar mission after going offline, it also greeted each other with the First Emperor spacecraft on the interstellar waterway, and at that time, the First Emperor spacecraft was almost half a light-year away from the Earth, and it could be regarded as being able to see the Earth from afar.

And in just two or three years, they actually encountered two faster-than-light spaceships from the earth civilization, and such a scene also made the crew of the First Emperor spaceship feel extremely emotional, feeling that the current earth civilization is really very different, and the power of the entire civilization has simply been reborn.

I still remember that back then, a spaceship of the First Emperor was built for a hundred years, and now, in about 20 years, two faster-than-light spaceships have been built one after another, and they are more powerful, more mature, and more efficient than the New faster-than-light spacecraft of the First Emperor.

In addition to sighing, some crew members couldn't help but have some inexplicable lamentations in their hearts, lamenting that the First Emperor, the first faster-than-light spaceship ever built since the history of the earth's civilization, was really born at an inopportune time, just completed, and only carried out an interstellar mission, and even the first mission had not been completely completed, it was already behind the times, and in front of the new faster-than-light spaceship, it seemed to be dwarfed.

As the first batch of pilots of the First Emperor, it can be said that they have witnessed the glory and gloom of the First Emperor, and witnessed the whole process of the First Emperor from advanced to backward, how can the crew not be full of emotion in their hearts.

Even if they know that such a thing is actually a great good thing for the entire civilization, but as the crew of the First Emperor, many people still don't feel very sad and forbearing, and feel that the First Emperor spaceship is really too desolate, as if yesterday was the pride of the sky, and today it has become a hairy phoenix, which makes people feel lost.

However, as the days passed, as the earth got closer and closer, the crew members who had been away from home for more than 20 years and had been separated from their relatives and children for half of their lives still couldn't help but gradually get excited, no matter what, after countless hardships and tempering, they finally returned to their home planet and returned to their hometown.

As for the future of the First Emperor spaceship, after some discussion and discussion, most of the crew members also saw it, after all, the First Emperor is still a rare faster-than-light spaceship, and it is also the first spaceship built by the earth's civilization, no matter what, it will have a brilliant and bright future, this point, the politicians on the earth must worry more than their crew members who do not understand politics, and the crew wants to do more It is in vain, it is better to wait and see what happens.
