My Clone Empire

Just when the eyes of the whole world were attracted by the establishment of the Human Federation, a capsule spacecraft carried a whole ship of compressed food across the starry sky and flew to the back of the moon.

On the back of the moon, an area on the earth that cannot be observed with optical observation devices, a two-kilometer-long shipyard is quietly floating in the orbit of the moon.

There are several space stations connected to each other through corridors around the shipyard. These space stations are not large in size and can accommodate hundreds of people, and their appearance returns to the appearance of the space station that humans should build with existing technology. Rather than orbital light, it doesn't look like what humans can build today.

Thousands of individual space station cabins are connected together to form these small space stations.

Contacting the nearby space dock, it is not difficult to guess that these space stations are for the staff in the dock to live.

On the surface of the moon below the space station, there is a large-scale construction site being excavated. Countless construction machines are busy in a crater, and the prototype of a large-scale ground base has emerged.

After a long flight, the capsule spacecraft slowed down and came to the space port next to the dock.

When the cargo compartment door of the capsule spacecraft opened, twenty drones flew out of the dock, dragged all the containers in the capsule spacecraft out and flew back to the dock.

In a transparent corridor where the entire interior of the dock could be seen, Tang Shizhe, wearing a colonial armor, was drifting towards the front control room with a few dead guards.

And below this corridor, a spaceship about a kilometer long is parked on the berth, with hundreds of mechanical arms busy on it, and a large number of electric sparks burst out from time to time.

The appearance of this spaceship is very simple, with a shuttle-style cockpit at the head, behind the cockpit is connected to the living area composed of ten pairs of trapezoidal cabins on the left and right sides.

Behind the living cabin is the tool cabin composed of four large cuboid warehouses with a length of 300 meters. These four tool warehouses are adsorbed on the spaceship keel in the middle. Corridors lead to various tool storages.

Where the tool cabin and the living cabin meet is a huge circular cabin. This circular cabin forms a centrifugal force in the cabin through the high-speed rotation of the rotor in the center. This centrifugal force will provide the crew in the spacecraft with a long life Provides artificial gravity during zero-gravity flight.

In addition, there is also a cultivation area imitating the sun's rays in this annular cabin, which can be used by the crew to cultivate some vegetable plants.

And behind the toolbox,

It is a rectangular wing extending to the left and right. Of course, this wing is not for providing lift, but for docking four shuttles that can travel to and from low-gravity planets and orbits.

The four shuttles can be entered through the hidden passages in the wings, and the wings also serve to deliver fuel, oxygen, and items to the shuttles.

Behind the wing is a material area where spherical tanks are bundled into a large bundle, and the entire material area is 400 meters long! It stores enough oxygen, drinking water and liquid fuel for the spacecraft to perform high-power maneuvers for the ten crew members on the ship to travel to and from Mars.

Behind the material area, there are six sets of liquid fuel thrusters and six sets of ion electric thrusters.

In this engine compartment, there are also bio-battery packs that are enough for the spacecraft to use for three months without getting electricity from solar energy, and three sets of high-power nuclear reactors newly provided by the People's Republic of Lijian.

The entire spacecraft is covered by energy blankets and bio-display films, which can not only absorb solar energy for use by the spacecraft, but also enter a state of invisibility to the naked eye to avoid the monitoring of other countries.

After Tang Shizhe entered the control room, he saw ten "volunteers" who were about to board the spaceship and set off in the control room.

Six of these ten volunteers are astronauts newly trained by the Republic of Mali after layers of selection, and the remaining four are all splits of Tang Shizhe.

"Hello, boss!" As the pioneers of the Titan Group's mission to Mars, these people have long been personally interviewed by Tang Shizhe, so they naturally recognize their big boss.

Tang Shizhe nodded slightly, stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the leading astronaut.

"Your task is very difficult. During the estimated 120-day flight time, you need to overcome all possible difficulties to successfully reach Mars! Establish the first Mars base for our Titan Group!"

"Once you fail, the Titan Group's years of preparation will be in vain!" Tang Shizhe said to the ten astronauts with an accentuated tone. Of course he would not say that this dock and this spaceship are actually in this It was built by working overtime within a month.

This is because all the parts need to be launched from the blue star. When the mines and manufacturing centers on the back of the moon are completed, most of the moon bases will be self-sufficient in the parts of the spacecraft, and the efficiency of building the spacecraft will be greatly improved. !

"We promise we will live up to the boss's expectations!" the astronauts shouted after standing up straight and saluting.

Of course, this is also related to Tang Shizhe's promise that they will be rewarded with 10 million federal coins and a set of coastal villas after completing the mission and returning to Earth.

Let me explain here, the federal currency is a new currency launched by the Human Federation. Currently, it is exchanged for US dollars at a ratio of one to one, and the exchange rate for soft sister currency is one to six.

After the person in charge of the Mars landing project explained some matters that need to be paid attention to, ten astronauts walked into the passage leading to the dock.

"How is it? Has our probe sent back any follow-up images?" Tang Shizhe asked the person in charge after all the astronauts had left.

"The follow-up image has been sent back. Our detector can only find the target's figure within 500 meters of the target. Once it leaves the distance of 500 meters, there will be no trace of any object!"

"And as long as the detector is within 100 meters, it will lose contact!" The person in charge shook his head.

Tang Shizhe lowered his head, and a blurry picture appeared on the monitor in front of him. It could be seen that there was a huge khaki ball floating in the picture, and there were a lot of carved patterns on this ball.

The most important thing is not the pattern on the ball! It's that the opponent has been floating in the air for many times from being discovered to being detected by the detector! And the probe didn't find any traces of thruster jets around it!

Back to a month ago...

The United Republic of Space Agency is at a base in the desert.

"You are not allowed to come in! This is top secret!" A staff member stood in front of an elevator and shouted to the soldiers of the Titan Group in front of him.

"Don't you know that this is the era of the People's Republic of Lijian? Get out of the way!" The soldier drew out his pistol and shouted.
