A Shift in Every Design Philosophy

Everything is proceeding smoothly and according to plan.

Although biologists were eagerly anticipating the sighting of Wolf 1061 c Planet from the Hope's porthole almost every day, procedures were procedures, and they had to wait.

According to the plan, in the coming period, humanity will use Hope as a base to first build a base on Wolf c-1, and then use its resources to build a space Relay Station in its orbit.

Next, they will use this Relay Station to extract resources from the Wolf c-1 planet for larger-scale space construction, including Space Dock, space factories, space experimental bases, and a series of supporting facilities.

While planning these facilities, the original plan was also to use the space Relay Station to transport resources and build a large integrated Space Station in the orbit of Wolf 1061 c Planet.

This Space Station will serve as a springboard for subsequent personnel to land on Wolf 1061 c Planet.

The reason for building a large integrated Space Station is that all subsequent research on the Wolf 1061 c Planet will be conducted on this Space Station.

However, considering that humans will not be permanently residing here in the future, the plan for a large Space Station was rejected. Well, it was rejected, but not completely rejected. The alternative was to design the large Space Station in the shape of a spaceship like the Hope.

It has all the necessary Fusion Thruster, and the design blueprints are directly based on the 'Hope', which means that it is going to build another 'Hope'.

The purpose of doing this is very clear: so that when humans leave in the future, they can take this platform with them. After all, it would be a waste to use such a comprehensive Space Station and then abandon it.

This alternative was almost universally approved.

It is precisely because of this plan that humanity has considered similar approaches to the design of other space structures.

The principle is that it can be packed up and taken away, or it can be driven away directly.

After this interruption, the various platforms designed by humans completely shifted to a different style.

Traditional Space Dock were quickly given all sorts of buffs. Requirements such as reserving space for thrusters and fully modular design were required. In order to enable the space dock to be driven away by thrusters in the future, the main structure of the Space Dock was also required to use higher strength alloys. An operation center was also added to the dock to control the various thrusters that would be installed and driven away in the future.

Now that the thrusters are installed, how can we forget about the fuel tank?

As a result, what was originally a simple Space Dock was suddenly filled with this and that, and it almost turned into a giant spaceship.

As a result, humanity decided to build a large, mobile dock.

Design isn't the problem, because when humanity discovered that its materials technology could build larger warships, it had already designed large shipyards accordingly. Now it's just a matter of adding various functions to the original design.

You could say that the previous Space Dock was like a bare-bones house, while now it's time for a full renovation.

In this way, the Space Dock gradually transformed from its original shape on the blueprints into a massive hollow spaceship.

While simultaneously meeting navigation requirements and the limits of human material technology, the mobile dock reached a length of 1,800 meters, a width of 1,500 meters, and a height of 900 meters.

Of course, a real shipyard is not square, but an ellipse shaped like an egg, for reasons of acceleration mechanics.

Because it is hollow, the mass of such a behemoth is actually not very large. Its shape is in line with the mechanical design, and it is supported by several high-strength alloys from its outer surface, so it can fully withstand the high-G acceleration brought by the thruster.

It is equipped with three Fusion Thruster at the top and bottom, and one on each side. Because the universe is Three-Dimensional Space, it also has auxiliary steering thrusters at the front and rear to steer vertically.

The plan is that this mobile Space Dock will eventually be used as a platform for building New Warship in the Wolf 1061 Star System after humanity leaves.

Humans will not settle in the Wolf 1061 Star System, but they will not leave anytime soon either. They will stay for at least twenty years, and possibly longer if there are no unforeseen circumstances.

The Wolf 1061 Star System is simply too good; it has almost inexhaustible resources and a Biosphere Resources available to humans—it's practically paradise.

Here, humans can replenish the biological resources lost due to the loss of Earth, and also reproduce and expand their population.

With more people, many things become easier to handle.

Some sub-sciences that were previously neglected due to not being an immediate priority can be reintroduced into the Technology Tree if there are researchers available.

With humans, humanity can build more warships and more Residential Spaceship, instead of having only one lonely Hope as it does now.

All of this requires a relatively stable environment.

Although there was the 'Silver Mist Consciousness' nearby, and the broadcast from the Milky Way Galaxy Axis Alliance, humanity had no choice but to hope that everything that was about to happen would come later.

In addition to the Space Dock being designed to be mobile, Space Station used for transferring supplies were also designed according to this concept.

Modular design, portability, and the ability to be mounted on an engine and driven away have become basic requirements for the design of various functional buildings in the future.

Even ground resource development bases and various resource collection equipment have taken this into consideration to the greatest extent possible.

Thus, without realizing it, humanity transformed from a Settled Civilization to a nomadic civilization.

Actually, it wasn't entirely unnoticed. The New Government leadership and scientists from various fields had long been aware of this shift, but instead of intervening, they vigorously promoted and supported it.

The New Government also specifically promoted this issue.

Everyone wants to find a planet suitable for human habitation to settle down on, but there's no way around it; this Dangerous Star Region doesn't allow humans to settle down.

With this understanding, humanity needs more Residential Spaceship.

In its plans, the New Government believes that during humanity's development in the Wolf Stellar System, in addition to the Hope, at least five more Residential Spaceship will be needed. Moreover, these Residential Spaceship will not be general-purpose ships like the Hope, but rather truly dedicated Residential Spaceship.

These spaceships will be larger than the Hope and can accommodate more people.

This necessitates the development of various other types of dedicated spacecraft, such as Research Spaceship designed to house scientific laboratories, industrial spacecraft designed to house industrial production workshops, and spacecraft designed to handle materials processing, among others.

Since we're going to leave in the future, everything that human society needs should be realized on the spaceship.

Only in this way can humanity avoid having to start all over again when reaching the next destination.

On the other hand, the functional requirements of being modular, portable, and capable of being mounted on an engine and driven away will also prompt humans to put more effort into folding machinery. In terms of craftsmanship, the mechanical structure must be more precise, refined, and convenient.

Of course, such demands will lead to more complex structures in various mechanical devices. This, in turn, compels humanity to research and develop more intelligent Artificial Intelligence.

This is exactly what is meant by "one move affects the whole body".
