Chapter 063 New Space Station
The scale of the e99u star system is not large. Excluding the stars that are light and heat sources, there are only four planets in total.
Logically speaking, such a star system with a simple structure and a small scale does not need a large space station. In terms of coverage scale, a dual-region, four-orbit small space station can be used for star systems with less than seven planets.
Easily accommodates an entire galaxy's traffic.
However, Qin Lang spent more than one billion to buy a large one.
Because he knew that if he didn’t buy something like the space station as early as possible, the price would skyrocket in later versions.
"In the early stages of the construction of the space station, you have to pay attention to the most basic functions. I have told you this before." Qin Lang patted Qin Shuang who was sitting in the driver's seat of the Frost Wing spacecraft, "Fuel supply, spacecraft maintenance,
These two pieces are the most important.”
"Shouldn't the highlight be the take-off and landing function?" Qin Shuang turned to look at Qin Lang.
"I think within the current month, even if we do nothing, the four basic landing gears will be enough to cope with it." Qin Lang shrugged, "You have to know that the ownership of this galaxy is now in my hands.
If other spacecraft want to come in, they must obtain approval."
"Okay, supplies and maintenance." Qin Shuang rolled his eyes, "But I still think it would be better to configure more take-off and landing platforms in advance."
"You decide this. The money has been approved for you, I don't care how you spend it."
While the two were chatting, the transport ship had already arrived at the edge of the galaxy. Through the window, you could see a pink square object in the distance, with flames spraying from its tail, flying in this direction.
"I like the appearance of this space station. It looks like a square lantern." Qin Shuang stretched after stopping the spacecraft, "But I don't like its color."
"Oh? Why?"
"It's too... vulgar." She said as she opened the communication channel with the space station, "Pink things look cuter when they are small."
My younger sister doesn't seem to like girly things very much. The private room in her spaceship is also decorated in a minimalist style. Objectively speaking, it has a more mature aesthetic.
"...Yes, we have sent the entry permit. Our spaceship will land on the space station in two minutes. Please be prepared." After Qin Shuang finished communicating with the delivery man of Interstellar Logistics, he hung up the communication.
"You are now able to communicate with aliens very skillfully." Qin Lang said with a smile as he watched her skillfully start the spacecraft.
"Only for races similar to ours." Qin Shuang replied, "Before you said that there are many weird races, such as the Void Spirit Race and the Split Race... I think I won't be able to cope with it."
"This is normal. You have only officially come into contact with alien races for only a few months." Qin Lang thought to himself that when he first saw the extremely terrifying existence of the Schizoid Tribe, he did not log in to the game for two whole days.
He regretted it very much at that time and applied an anti-harmony patch to his game cabin.
Soon, the Frost Wings landed from the entrance of the space station, and the spacecraft slid a long distance to the very back of the entire run.
"Four large platforms..." When the spacecraft accurately stopped on the landing gear, Qin Shuang muttered and stood up, looking at Qin Lang, "I'm afraid the two platforms in front will be idle for a long time."
The two of them stepped off the spacecraft together. On the side of the extremely wide track, there was a small black and yellow vehicle, with its lights flashing, heading this way.
"The ten-orbit space station is indeed quite spacious." Qin Lang couldn't help but sigh, "This throughput should be at the level of a small and medium-sized space port, right?"
The take-off and landing orbits are the most important functional area of the space station for external services. The number and length of the orbits determine the throughput of a space station.
For example, the Marchan space station "Grey Wall" where Qin Lang first landed is a small space station with only four tracks and a 600-meter runway.
Except for the 500-meter landing buffer distance at the outermost end of the track, the remaining part can be installed with landing gear. According to the general interstellar specifications, every 50 meters is the standard length of a spacecraft.
A simple calculation shows that the "gray wall" space station can only accommodate eight spacecrafts at the same time. When new visitors arrive, they can only be turned away.
In comparison, the space station bought by Qin Lang is quite terrifying.
The ten-track, three-kilometer take-off and landing track has a full length of 2,400 meters, which can be used to install spacecraft landing gear, except for the 100-meter-long safety detection belt, material isolation zone, and emergency damage control section.
If all the orbits can be filled with landing gear in the future, the entire space station can dock up to 480 spacecraft at the same time. This scale is definitely quite luxurious in versions before 4.0.0.
"It's too big. It looks so empty." Qin Shuang commented.
"When you run it, it won't be empty when there are many people." Qin Lang touched his chin and smiled, "Especially after the group of extra-dimensional humans come here, you may still feel that it is a bit crowded."
"When you talk about extra-dimensional humans, I feel a little scary..." Qin Shuang looked back at him and said, "You said they won't die. Do you really mean that they won't die no matter what?"
"This... I can't describe it well. You can just understand it as a race that can be constantly reborn." Qin Lang thought for a while and said, "In fact, there is no need to worry about it. At least as long as we continue to get stronger, this group of people will
You will be like sheep in the fold.”
"Can you always find a way to get some wool?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes. And there's an endless supply of it."
A small vehicle drove up to the spacecraft, and on board were two staff members from the Interstellar Logistics Company. They were responsible for transporting the space station until it reached the designated location.
Starting from the take-off and landing platform, a group of four people passed through the side rotating track and descended all the way to the bottom of the space station.
In fact, most space stations have a downward extension design. The take-off and landing platform is actually only the top layer of the entire space station. There are usually two to three layers of space below the track.
The main functions of these spaces are the operation and control of the entire space station facilities, as well as the storage of various large-scale goods and equipment.
In the later version of the previous life, the higher-end space station also developed various new functional areas on the floors under the platform, such as schools, driving schools, laboratories, etc.
At that time, it can be said that a space station is a complete ecosystem. There is a profession in "Deep Space", which is "travel experiencer". Some players who are not committed to becoming stronger and fighting will travel in various galaxies.
, experience various space stations, and write reviews in the player community, which is sought after by many people.
"Please enter the positioning coordinates here." The staff of Interstellar Logistics took them to the flight control room of the space station, and then politely saluted the two of them, "Your space station has arrived at the target galaxy. Our delivery this time
All services have been completed. Thank you for your trust and support in Tianxun Interstellar Logistics!”
Qin Lang nodded, then opened the panel and entered the previously positioned space station orbit formula into the system.
There was an obvious shock underfoot, and the space station's propulsion system automatically started operating.
"Let's go take a look and see what initial purchases we should make."
After seeing off the logistics staff, Qin Lang turned to Qin Shuang and said.
Chapter completed!
