450 Mars Construction
One thing that is well known is that wizards have unprecedented advantages in logistics that others have. That is to say, when wizards war breaks out, there is actually not much difference between frontline and rear.
In this way, even the wizards in the UK can easily obtain support from all personnel and materials from all over Europe and the United States during the war.
This is the important reason why Voldemort was called the second generation of Dark King by himself in the UK, because although Voldemort's battlefield was concentrated in Britain, it actually mobilized the power of the entire Europe and even some of the Americas.
After discussing the details about the war in the wizarding world during the exchange, today's spacecraft arrived. Soon, Hugo and his team boarded the transport ship through a metal bridge.
Because all equipment now only considers efficiency and safety issues, these transport ships look closer to military transport aircraft than passenger aircraft.
For example, there are no portholes on the side of the boat, and for example, all chairs are very comfortable and do not provide any cabin service.
However, considering that the hyperspace engine used now allows all ranges to be compressed within half an hour, this simple cabin decoration is naturally acceptable.
"The entire voyage from here to Mars is only 25 minutes, and it is a very short voyage." The Soviet Union, who sat next to him and tied his seat belt, said.
"And the real journey from Mars to Earth is not enough for a second. It mainly consumes time on the connection of ships, leaving the port and entering safe areas and charging the engine."
"How long does it take for engine charging?" Hugo thought for a while and asked, because the first two of these three time-consuming processes are safety supporting projects and cannot be reduced, while the third process is closely related to technology.
"About ten minutes." The Soviet Union said, "In fact, our technology can compress this time to 3 to 5 seconds, but the corresponding engine cost will soar about ten times the current space jump engine, and its energy consumption will also double."
"Because these ships are transport ships, the efficiency of use needs to be taken into account. Therefore, we have adopted the engines of the present in order to improve efficiency as much as possible and reduce the cost of use."
"But on the two frigates and two destroyers that are planned, we will install those high-level military engines so that these warships can perform the tactics and strategic maneuvers required by the military."
"So that's how it is!" After hearing the Soviet Union's explanation, Hugo nodded. It seems that the spacecraft is no different from other means of transportation in this regard. Different configurations are naturally required to prepare different configurations for different usage situations.
In fact, in addition to engines, this kind of cargo ship used for transportation has also reduced a series of navigation and detection facilities compared to military ships.
For example, the space jump guide compass created by combining computers and magic using the principles of arithmetic divination is not available on this transport ship, so a lot of resources and space are saved.
The reason why this equipment is not equipped is because the main purpose of this equipment is to use remotely jump without a star map or the specific situation of the target location is unknown.
After all, if something is in the target location or some energy bursts during a long-range jump, it may pose a huge threat to the ship that is performing hyperspace jumps.
However, for these designated cargo ships, the specific situation of the target location is completely clear, so naturally there is no need to equip such expensive detection equipment.
Just after everyone was done, with a slight vibration, the ship left the space station and began to drive towards the space not far away.
Because there was no porthole around, Hugo and the others just felt a slight vertigo in the middle, and the screen above the seat showed that they had reached Mars orbit.
"It took us half a day to go back to London from Hogwarts, but it took us less than half an hour to go from Earth to Mars. Even in a world with magic, this is simply amazing."
When she walked up to the Mars 1 space station with her suitcase and climbed through the string window in the corridor, looking at the red Mars below and the vast space in the distance, Hermione sighed from the bottom.
"It feels like this place is obviously more magical than the ground. You are right. It is ridiculous to fight like this for the benefit of the earth. Our future must be in this starry sky."
"Welcome, Lord Admiral, and my sisters." After they walked through a corridor, the lion saluted them and then took them towards the atmospheric shuttle.
“On behalf of the Base of Mars, I welcome you, you will see all the achievements of our time, which even surpass our previous plans—”
Five minutes later, a 55-ton shuttle broke out from the space station, then flew towards the red earth below, and soon entered the side of the planet facing the sun.
After entering the atmosphere, the anti-gravity system on the spacecraft slowed down, then gently flew towards a huge crater, and then passed through a door inside the net opening and entered the hole.
"It seems you're doing a good job." After completing the transfer work, Hugo nodded with satisfaction after looking at the entrance hangar with a metal armored plate inside.
"This is mainly because we built the second core furnace. Because of our experience in the last construction, and a batch of finished parts originally used as spare parts, the construction progress of the core furnace is much faster than we imagined."
After hearing Hugo's question, the Lion, who was the highest local person in charge, immediately entered the working state and took out a tablet computer from the ship's space and reported it in a straightforward manner.
"So it took us only 15 days to repair this earth-center furnace on Mars, and then use the powerful productivity of this furnace to feed back the construction project."
"With this earth-center furnace, we can use the raw materials produced locally on Mars to quickly make all kinds of items we need without occupying the earth's production capacity."
"So now the production capacity on Earth is mainly used by the Earth and the Moon. In addition to supplying Mars itself, the production capacity on Mars can also accelerate the development of the asteroid belt, thus forming a perfect industrial cycle."
Being able to build a core furnace so quickly is related to the habits of ship girls to reserve. At least Hugo knows that ship girls have reserved at least 80% of the core furnace accessories, and almost all of them are core accessories.
So in this case, after transporting these core accessories, you only need to quickly complete the remaining 20% of the equipment, and you can quickly build a new earth-center furnace.
"Very good, I'm glad you can fully utilize your subjective initiative." After checking a series of detailed information conveyed through the Admiral Network, Hugo's face showed a satisfied smile.
