Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1545: 730

This was what Chen Weimin truly wanted to know, even more important than gravity generation technology.

That’s not to say gravity generation technology isn’t important, but even if they didn’t come this time, gravity generation technology would definitely be installed on spacecraft in the future.

It was inevitable.

Because the cosmic spacecraft represented the largest, most complete space vehicle.

Even with the medium-sized Xuanhuang, whether it was in power or performance, it definitely couldn’t compare to a cosmic spacecraft. Moreover, cosmic spacecraft were extremely large, with unmatched cargo capacity and crew capacity. When it came to space travel, one could say it was a giant among ships. The spacecraft also boasted a complete weapons system that could launch devastating He weapons in space.

And so on.

But at the same time, cosmic spacecraft also had a significant problem: the speed of recent technological developments had been so fast that the manufacturing of cosmic spacecraft couldn’t catch up.

This was a very frustrating issue for the cosmic spacecraft team.

The anti-gravity system of cosmic spacecraft, the space link device, the Z-wave device, and even the nuclear fusion device were all one generation behind the cutting-edge technology.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to catch up, nor was it that the latest technology couldn’t be applied to cosmic spacecraft; rather, it was that upgrading cosmic spacecraft was very difficult.

This was like a giant aircraft carrier needing an upgrade in technology and equipment renewal – both processes were time-consuming and would cost a huge amount of money.

Zhao Yi pondered for a moment before seriously answering, "Let me put it this way, Captain Chen, whether it’s Z-wave technology or anti-gravity technology, research has already reached a bottleneck. Nuclear fusion is the same – although I haven’t been following it closely, I can assure you that over the past year, there won’t have been much improvement."

"Moreover, combined with the gravity generation device necessary for cosmic spacecraft, I think the exploration work of cosmic spacecraft should stop for now. It should first undergo a major update and retrofit of its core equipment on a holistic level."

"I know this task is very complex and will take a long time, but I believe it is also essential." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he fell silent for a short while, then continued, "You should know that when the cosmic spacecraft performs space shuttling, there is a glaring flaw in the technology – the Z-wave detection device doesn’t work well. It was installed later, and at best, can only detect within a range of one billion kilometers."

"Whereas the existing Z-wave device on the cosmic spacecraft allows the spaceship to achieve ultra-long-distance shuttling over ten thousand astronomical units."

"This is the fundamental reason why the safety of long-distance shuttling by the cosmic spacecraft cannot be guaranteed."

"Currently, we still lack the ability to detect Z-waves over extremely long distances, but we have made significant breakthroughs in our research on space. I believe that as long as we continue with our research, we can definitely achieve rapid breakthroughs."

"So, for now, what the cosmic spacecraft needs to do is to undergo correction, updating, and retrofitting. There’s a saying that goes well, ’sharpening your axe will not delay the work of cutting wood.’ A thoroughly improved cosmic spacecraft is the most valuable, otherwise it will be like a useless rib, which is precisely why some say Xuanhuang could replace the cosmic spacecraft."

After listening, Chen Weimin remained silent for quite some time.

As the captain of mankind’s first cosmic spacecraft, he was very eager to pilot the cosmic spacecraft beyond the solar system. They had the capability to achieve this, but safety could not be assured.

What Zhao Yi had said earlier hadn’t convinced him since, even with somewhat outdated equipment, they could still accomplish interstellar shuttling; it would just take a bit longer.

But the last point had struck a chord with him.

With ultra-long-distance Z-wave detection technology, the cosmic spacecraft could ensure safety during the shuttling process.

That was what mattered most!

After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed and nodded, "I’m persuaded by you. When I get back, I’ll submit a detailed report to the higher-ups. However, getting approval won’t be easy!"

Zhao Yi said, "The cosmic spacecraft was designed by me, and many of the technologies were researched by me. If we can ensure safe interstellar exploration in the future, I would like to join as well."

"So, I will co-author the report with you!"

"Thank you!"
