Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 525 Ark Two
The third day after the military parade.

Zhong Cheng came to the city of Callisto Atlantis, and he wanted to personally inspect the former imperial spaceship manufacturing base in this city.

According to the observation results of the federal army's large gravitational wave observatory on Titan, Ark [-] has crossed the orbits of Uranus and Neptune successively, and has entered the outermost Kuiper belt of the solar system.

The Kuiper belt is located outside the orbit of Neptune in the solar system, extending from about 45 billion kilometers to 80 billion kilometers from the sun, and is a dense disc-shaped area of ​​celestial bodies near the ecliptic plane.

The Kuiper belt is similar to the asteroid belt, but is much larger and has a much greater number of asteroids, being 20 times wider and 20 to 200 times heavier.

At present, Ark 50 is nearly 3 billion kilometers away from Jupiter, and will fly out of the solar system in at most three days. The calculated sailing speed is about [-] kilometers per second, which has reached one-tenth of the speed of light.

According to the gravitational changes produced by Ark [-] on the passing Kuiper belt asteroid, not only its position and velocity were determined, but also its mass and volume at this time were calculated to be one-tenth of what it was when it took off from Callisto one.

Zhong Cheng also understands why the speed of Ark [-] is so fast, this is a super giant multi-stage rocket!
And once you go, you can't turn back, and you can only rely on the resistance of the planet's atmosphere to slow down and land in the end.

If there weren't a large number of Xel'Naga demons on Ark One to bless them with their spiritual protection shields, Ark One would not even be able to land on a planet.

Although the cosmic starry sky is vast, with hundreds of millions of planets, they only have one chance to choose.

Once the wrong planet is chosen, they will have no chance to rebuild technological civilization.

This is exactly Robin's style, a one-shot deal!

But it is also in line with Sargeras' style of acting, to die and survive.

Accompanied by Zhong Cheng are Yang Xi, Zhao Wei, Gui Bin, Jiang Yan, Liu Hang and others. They just rushed from the earth to Jupiter yesterday.

Liu Hang is the current general manager of the Red Star Ship Manufacturing Company. He is the son of Liu Yang, a starship builder. He also has nearly 30 years of experience in starship design and manufacturing. He should be regarded as inheriting his father's business.

The former imperial space battleship manufacturing base in the city of Atlantis will definitely be dismantled, including all military manufacturing industries except Earth and Mars, which will be dismantled within a few years.

Even the military industry on Earth and Mars, except for a small part, will be transferred back to civilian production or the excess part will be demolished.

During the war, the Federation and the Empire established an unprecedentedly large military manufacturing industry. They could arm three space fleets and fifty mecha legions in one year, making human's industrial manufacturing capabilities reach an unprecedented level.

Now that the war is over, the Federation no longer needs such a large military manufacturing capacity. In Zhong Cheng's plan, it is enough to keep [-]%.

And it must be kept in the core area of ​​human society, the earth and Mars.

Before the former imperial military manufacturing industry in Jupiter’s colonial area was dismantled, Zhong Cheng specially called Yang Xi and others to Jupiter and asked them to visit and investigate in order to learn and summarize the strengths of the original imperial military technology.

Since the era of Xingwang Company and Solar System Power Company, Red Star Company has developed separately from them, forming characteristics of very different styles. Compared with Red Star Company, the military technology of the original empire is not useless.

Take Ark One, the pinnacle of the former Empire’s military technology, for the time being, Red Star Company is temporarily unable to manufacture such a huge space vehicle, whose speed can actually reach one-tenth of the speed of light.

This is almost the speed limit of human aircraft before the emergence of new space navigation technology.

Zhong Cheng accompanied the crowd to stay in Atlantis City for three days and visited the entire manufacturing industry chain of space battleships.

The demon army absconded secretly, and did not completely destroy the production records before escaping. It should be that the human engineers in charge of production deliberately concealed it.

Therefore, a large number of production records related to the manufacture of Ark [-] are preserved here, which also provides a reasonable explanation for Sargeras' military actions after he fled back to Jupiter.

Ark [-] was built five years ago before the empire was established, and construction was suspended for three years. After the Mars Defense War, construction was resumed.

After the demons stole the empire, Sargeras did not suspend the construction of Ark One, but it was not until Sargeras fled from the earth back to Jupiter that he began to fully implement it.

Because after Sargeras defeated the earth, he had already seen in his mind that the demons were powerless to return to heaven, so he came up with the idea of ​​escaping from the solar system on Ark One.

The demon army fought desperately with the coalition forces on Jupiter, in fact, it was to buy time for the construction of Ark One.

The construction of Ark 6 was completed in June this year, and it did not set sail until the end of September. The delay in this period should be to win over Michael, and it may also be the best time to find the blockade of the Jupiter coalition forces.

In the production records of Ark One, Zhong Cheng also discovered the fact that the chief designer and construction director of Ark One was one of his old friends: Hans von Bachmann.

After more than 30 years, Hans used this method to wash away the shame that Zhong Cheng brought to him back then, putting Zhong Cheng together, and leaving unknown dangers to mankind.

This made Zhong Cheng not know how to describe his complicated mood, the cycle of karma, and the unhappiness of retribution, but does karma not distinguish between right and wrong?
Maybe it was!
With these first-hand production process materials, Zhao Wei assured Zhong Cheng that even though there was no complete design plan, they would be able to decipher all the manufacturing processes of Ark [-] within three months.

Within two years, the Ark II can be built in the starship manufacturing base of Yinghuo City on Mars, and its performance is better than that of the Ark I.

Although Zhao Wei and others didn't understand why Zhong Cheng wanted to build another spaceship like this, they accepted this challenging task very happily.

Zhong Cheng planned to build Ark II, not for his own use, but to fulfill his promise to the Forsaken.

The agreement he reached with Dongfang Invincible was to let the Forsaken race leave the solar system with the Zerg after the war.

Michael's betrayal made Dongfang Invincible even more determined to leave the solar system. He tried to catch up with Ark One and personally solve the trouble caused by Michael.

Zhong Cheng convinced him that now the Demon Race has integrated the fugitive forces of humans, the Forsaken, and the Zerg. As long as they find a suitable galaxy, they will develop unimaginable power, which cannot be dealt with by the Forsaken and the Zerg.

Only when the Federation develops to the pinnacle of a star-level civilization can they be completely eliminated, and this task will be left to Zhong Cheng himself to complete.

Dongfang Bubai accepted Zhong Cheng's kindness, and decided to take the tribe and the Zerg back to their territory on Venus after dealing with the excess Zerg in the Jupiter satellite group.

After waiting for Ark II to be completed, they leave the solar system to find their new home.

Zhong Cheng didn't get entangled in the issue of the Forsaken leaving the solar system, he knew that this was the best result for both parties.

He just advised Dongfang Bubai to liberate the Zerg at the right time and find a shelter for them.

It is impossible for the Zerg to be willing to be slaves of the Forsaken!

The Forgotten have innate advantages in developing mechanical civilization, and relying too much on the Zerg will only make progress and limit their own development.

Only by relying on their own strength can the Forsaken truly obtain the right to survive in this universe.
