Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 814 - 813: Expansion

Building a spaceship is a massive project, and it requires a significant number of people.

Currently, there are several thousand technicians busy with their tasks inside the enormous factory.

These few thousand technicians have all been transferred from the research team specifically for the spaceship construction work.

These busy technicians are the best under Jiang Cheng, mostly the backbone of the team.

For this spaceship construction task, many projects on the research team have been paused to make way for it.

It shows how much Jiang Cheng has sacrificed for the spaceship and how determined he is to see it built.

Be meticulous about installing the aft propulsion unit. All parameters need confirmation, and the thruster's position must be precise.

Weld the armor plates at the bottom securely; this will simplify the subsequent installation.

The installation of the Curvature Engine is crucial; make sure you are alert and that no errors occur.

Jiang Cheng observed the work of his subordinates while offering suggestions for improvement.

The construction of the spaceship is truly complex. Even though these technicians are exceptional, Jiang Cheng still spotted numerous mistakes among them.

In fact, these mistakes are very difficult to detect, noticeable only to Jiang Cheng.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng supervised spaceship construction in his previous life, so he is quite familiar with these aspects.

Otherwise, Jiang Cheng wouldn't have been able to spot those minor issues in the construction phase.

Under Jiang Cheng's careful guidance, humanity's first spaceship gradually started taking shape.

After more than a month of effort, Jiang Cheng's technicians finally completed welding the spaceship's framework.

Inside the enormous factory, the outline of the spaceship can now be seen.

The spaceship's framework indicates that this spaceship adopts a relatively traditional design.

The entire spaceship looks like an oval hull, lacking any groundbreaking design.

Back when Jiang Cheng was designing the spaceship, he considered some more unusual shapes.

After all, spaceships travel in space and don't need to consider aerodynamics or fluid dynamics, so the shape can be whatever is desired.

However, Jiang Cheng abandoned those more unusual spaceship shapes and opted for this traditional design.

Those more sci-fi spaceship shapes might look better, but they fall short in practicality compared to traditional shapes.

This shape maximizes the utilization of the spaceship's internal space, allowing for the most cargo and personnel.

The oval design utilizes every part of the internal space without wasting a single bit.

If it were a very sci-fi shape design, it might look very cool, but a lot of the spaceship's internal space would be wasted, far less efficient than the current design.

The first spaceship is intended by Jiang Cheng to be used as a cargo ship, so more carrying capacity was his primary consideration.

After all, Jiang Cheng's definition of this spaceship is a transport ship, so there's no need to make it aesthetically pleasing.

A spaceship full of futuristic vibes can be built later.

If Jiang Cheng ever wants to build a combat flagship, he could consider designing the spaceship's appearance to be more appealing, but that's for the future.

What humanity needs most now is a transport spaceship, not a combat flagship. Combat flagships are needed for space battles, which human civilization doesn't require now.

Space battles are still too far off for humanity; discussing them is a bit premature.

Currently, humanity hasn't encountered any alien forces, so combat spacecraft have no use. Perhaps when humanity starts venturing into the universe, there will be opportunities for space battles with other civilizations.

However, Jiang Cheng will naturally construct the corresponding spacecraft to deal with possible space combat when the time comes.

But discussing it now is still a bit early; humanity hasn't even fully mastered the solar system, let alone started contact with alien civilizations.

Jiang Cheng doesn't have the energy to think about future matters; his current top priority is completing this spaceship construction.

After the framework of humanity's first spaceship was constructed, the next step was the installation of internal equipment.

The spaceship's interior houses countless devices, each responsible for different functions.

At this time, Jiang Cheng's technicians began to install the pre-prepared equipment into the spaceship according to the blueprints.

Life-support equipment, the propulsion system, the Curvature Engine, and Energy Shield generators were all installed one by one.

Jiang Cheng stood at the edge of the spaceship, watching his technicians build the spaceship step by step.

During this time, Jiang Cheng stayed in this enormous factory, overseeing the spaceship's construction.

For him, this is the most important thing at present, even more so than the expansion of the Space Station, which could be put aside for now.

Although he had to stay here continuously, Jiang Cheng didn't feel even a hint of boredom.

Watching the spaceship gradually take shape before his eyes, this sense of achievement made Jiang Cheng feel great.

The feeling of personally building a real spaceship is something Jiang Cheng immensely enjoys, so naturally, he doesn't feel any boredom.

As Jiang Cheng watched the installation of the Curvature Engine, Xiao Peng approached him.

As Jiang Cheng's most capable assistant, Xiao has also been here at the construction site with Jiang Cheng during this time.

He is responsible for arranging and managing the specific work of the thousands of technicians here.

In fact, Xiao Peng is busier than Jiang Cheng with the tasks here.

Jiang Cheng just needs to speak up from the side; guiding work doesn't cost him much effort.

However, Xiao Peng is much more hardworking than Jiang Cheng; he has to manage and coordinate all the technicians, running around the large factory every day to handle countless tasks.

Xiao actually enjoys this busy state; being busy with building the spaceship is something he is willing to do.

This is the first true spaceship of humanity, a milestone in humanity's advance towards space, destined to be recorded in history.

Being part of such an epoch-making project, Xiao Peng feels immense honor.

As soon as Xiao Peng reached Jiang Cheng's side, he brought up work matters.

President Jiang, the spaceship's construction progress is on schedule, and the situation is quite satisfactory.
