1749.Rendili Heist (Part 1)
Rendili Planet Spaceport, the huge passenger spacecraft took off into the sky, gradually rising into the sky with extremely powerful airflow. That huge body immediately outshone all the surrounding passenger spacecraft. Compared with this giant ship, even the AA-9 class spacecraft, the largest passenger spacecraft in the galaxy before, was just a tiny thing in front of it.
Leviathan-class passenger liner is 1150 meters long and 240 meters high. The overall structure is similar to a rectangular parallelepiped with an obvious hunchback. The spacecraft can accommodate up to 50,000 passengers and stores enough nutrients to feed these 50,000 people for 10 days. The spacecraft is also equipped with 8 tractor beams, which are mainly used for cargo supply and can also be used for self-defense in emergencies.
The design of this spacecraft is a masterpiece. It not only provides 50,000 passengers with at least space to lie down and a storage box that can accommodate a large amount of personal luggage, but also fully considers the issues of eating, drinking and sleeping for so many passengers.
It includes thousands of toilets, as well as a complex but efficient sewage treatment system, 8 canteens and supporting rapid food distribution channels, excellent ventilation systems, and convenient garbage disposal systems. These 50,000 passengers can at least spend the five-day journey from Rendili system to Annaj system in a relatively comfortable environment.
Because high-level hyperspace engines take up a lot of space, the cost will also become extremely high. For example, Imperial-class Star Destroyer, a full quarter of the space is given to the L-A2B engine produced by Sienar Fleet Systems. Therefore, for this kind of civilian spacecraft, the general hyperspace engine level is not high.
And Leviathan-class passenger liner, the designer-Willix-Blythex!
At this moment, he was standing on one of the towers of the space port, looking up at the huge figure of the whale class gradually moving away until it was completely invisible. On his face, a long-lost smile finally appeared...
"Well done, Willix. The first official operation of the whale class was a perfect success!!" His colleagues on the side praised, "I just heard from the Immigration Bureau that the investment in the whale class can fully double the efficiency of our immigration!"
"The people at Rendili StarDrive also said that all the interstellar shipyards here are now building giant whale-class ships! The cost of this kind of spaceship is not high, 26 million credits per unit, and it mainly consumes basic raw materials. You are really a genius, Willix. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to design and build such an excellent passenger spacecraft." Another colleague also sincerely praised it.
Bang bang bang bang! There was a round of applause.
Willix-Blythex turned around and saw that dozens of colleagues in the tower control center had stood up and gave him warm applause.
Everyone here is sincere and there is not even a trace of jealousy.
Because they all know how much Willix-Blythex paid in the process of designing and building Leviathan-class passenger liner. He often stayed up all night thinking about the design of the spacecraft. He even designed and considered the layout of every part, every passage, and every corner in the spacecraft with the most careful attention.
It was precisely because of his efforts that this perfect passenger spacecraft was able to appear in the world within a few months, and it was immediately put into immigration work.
What's even more commendable is that when Willix-Blythex designed this passenger spacecraft, he had only one purpose - to help civilians avoid the destruction of war as much as possible.
To put it more seriously, if Rendili Planet's immigration work cannot be completed in a timely and efficient manner, then once the war starts again and hundreds of billions of residents are crowded on such a planet, large-scale material shortages may occur, and it may even easily take away the lives of hundreds of billions of people!
An example like Eriadu Planet campaign is just before. At that time, 18th Army Governor Wilhuff-Tarkin faced the approaching General Ling fleet, so he concentrated all supplies and then recruited troops on a large scale.
The result is that after Eriadu Planet campaign ends and Fourth Civilization takes over the planet, the first thing to do is to recover and process the more than one billion corpses that starved to death.
Willix-Blythex believes that if there were a large number of giant whales at that time, in the face of such a planet-level war disaster, at least a few more people could be saved.
That's why he worked hard to design such an efficient large-capacity passenger spacecraft, just to do his best to do something for the people in this war-torn galaxy. He couldn't stop the war or the killing, but there was always something he could do.
And in order to keep costs down, he directly rejected the request to transform the design of Leviathan-class transport into a modular one. Although I heard that this request came from the top of Rendili StarDrive, and that he was promised additional funds and remuneration, Willix still refused directly.
Willix knew that the modular design was required because they wanted to preserve the possibility of using this passenger craft for military purposes in the future. Although he is not completely against the design of military spacecraft, such as Victory II-class Star Destroyer, and the Victory III-class Star Destroyer plan that is undergoing preliminary design, he is also involved. But he couldn't accept that the cost of building the Whale-class ship would be increased for such reasons. The increase in cost would reduce the number of spacecraft and the fewer people who could be saved.
After that, Willix still retained some design interfaces. When there is not so much passenger transportation pressure, Leviathan-class passenger liner can be converted into a medical spacecraft. During war, it can be used to provide medical services to injured soldiers on the battlefield. In peacetime, it can provide medical support to backward and impoverished planets.
Willix-Blythex smiled and high-fived his colleagues around him. When the news came that the Leviathan-class passenger liner had successfully entered the hyperspace channel, they were completely relieved and returned to their respective Homeworld to have a good rest.
After mutually agreeing to have a celebration party two days later, Willix-Blythex returned to their home, took a bath, fell into the soft bed, and fell asleep.
However, he did not notice that in the dark night, there were several pairs of eyes staring at his residence!
"Very good, the target has gone to sleep. Group One, reconfirm the situation of the surrounding hidden sentries..." In a civilian building more than 300 meters away, a person was holding a telescope to check the situation of Willix, while whispering instructions in the communication.
[There are secret bodyguards, but not many, only three, and their mental state is also very relaxed.]
"Don't do anything yet. Group Two, has the monitoring system been cut off?"
