In fact, when the construction of the industrial ship was coming to an end, Wang Sen no longer had a lot of work in his hands.
In addition to arranging dedicated personnel to conduct routine inspections of each spacecraft, they also supervise the mining fleet to every rest point and use the rest time to quickly collect some minerals that the fleet urgently needs.
Now that the dormant plan has been abandoned, the plan in his heart also has a chance to be realized.
There are currently many small colonial spacecrafts vacated in the fleet. Not everyone wants to live in these spaceships, but the internal environment is much worse than the three giant colonial spacecrafts.
Therefore, many people who still live on small colonial spaceships still have some complaints. It may not be a problem in the short term, but over time, it will still become a hidden danger that affects the stability of the fleet.
In addition, Fang Min wants to gradually relax birth restrictions. If the population gradually increases, the living environment on the small colonial spaceship will become worse and worse.
This problem must be solved.
He referred to the initial construction method of the engineering ship that Qi Yiming got along with. Since those platforms can be mounted on the outer wall of the colonial spacecraft during the jump, why can’t those small colonial spacecraft be connected to the three giant spaceships?
You still have to consult Shi Shaojie of the Academy of Sciences for this kind of matter.
So Wang Sen approached Shi Shaojie with his work plan and asked his Academy of Sciences to give some suggestions.
Shi Shaojie was a little surprised when he saw Wang Sen’s work plan. You must know that transforming three colonial spaceships is a huge and systematic project, and it is impossible to complete each one in tens or hundreds of years.
“Do you have the time to complete these tasks?”
“Hehe…” Wang Sen smiled mysteriously.
Shi Shaojie was a genius after all, and he quickly figured out the meaning.
He pointed at Wang Sen and said: “You…you gave up hibernation?”
Wang Sen nodded: “We’ll talk about this later. Can you first see if my plan works?”
“Where’s Fang Min? He won’t give up hibernation too, right?”
Wang Sen nodded calmly and continued to urge him to take a look at his transformation plan.
Although Shi Shaojie can be regarded as a core member of Qi Yiming’s team, he has always been obsessed with research and almost never participated in the management of the fleet. Therefore, he had no good solution after learning that Wang Sen and Fang Min had given up the hibernation plan. Stop both men.
He could only pray that these two people wouldn’t have any bad thoughts.
After being stunned for a long time, Shi Shaojie finally picked up Wang Sen’s plan and read it.
“You want to expand the three giant ships?”
Wang Sen nodded: “Renovate those small colonial spaceships and connect them directly to the three colonial spaceships. This will result in a much smaller amount of work than previously planned.”
Shi Shaojie nodded while looking at Wang Sen’s transformation plan.
The feasibility of Wang Sen’s renovation plan is indeed higher than Qi Yiming’s previous plan. First of all, it is much lower in terms of construction difficulty.
Just build some connections on the three giant colony ships.
“The Academy of Sciences will help you produce a construction drawing. I think your plan is not just to connect a small colonial spaceship to three giant spacecraft.”
“Yes, in the later stage I also want to connect three giant spaceships together to make them a whole. Then based on this, we will expand the size of the spacecraft so that our fleet can accommodate a larger population.”
Shi Shaojie thought for a while, nodded and said to Wang Sen: “I will arrange for a special person to design the drawings for the follow-up plan.” Then he looked at Wang Sen with worried eyes: “You…”
Wang Sen knew what Shi Shaojie was going to say, he smiled and patted Shi Shaojie on the shoulder: “Don’t worry, we will not affect Mr. Qi’s plan, we are just helping him optimize it, and Fang Min and I have already discussed it, and we will Wake up the next group of people on duty and transfer power before you become a fool.”
Shi Shaojie just sighed: “I hope you will do what you say.” Then Shi Shaojie turned and walked towards his laboratory.
A few days later, the construction drawings for the preliminary renovation were handed over to Wang Sen.
The construction plan is very simple. It is to select some points on the hull of the three giant spaceships that will not affect the mechanical structure of the spacecraft and isolate them from the inside first.
These works can be carried out during the fleet jump voyage, so the transformation work began quickly under Wang Sen’s deployment.
Before the fleet arrived at the rest point again, the internal transformation plans of the three spacecraft had been initially completed.
As for the external renovation, due to the short rest time, only one connection port can be renovated at a time, but the time is still long, so they are not in a hurry at this time.
Time flies, 110 years later…
Wang Sen was alone, with a hunched figure standing in front of the giant hanging window of the Hope, looking at the scene outside the spacecraft.
At this time, the spacecraft has completely lost its original appearance.
There are hundreds of small colonial spacecraft of different shapes connected to the outside of the Hope.
Except for the residential function, all other functions of these colonial spaceships have been removed.
In addition to building more living space, the vacated area was also greened to a certain extent and even some small fountains were built.
The interior environment has been greatly improved, and in some ways is even more comfortable than living in a giant colony ship.
The three giant spaceships have been connected by huge passages.
People living in each colonial spaceship can use these passages to work or visit other spaceships, which makes their life much freer than before.
There are even larger projects going on outside the three spacecraft.
Especially for the Hope, the first phase of the expansion project is nearing completion.
There is a large entertainment center planned by Wang Sen. Once completed, it can accommodate 300,000 people for entertainment activities at the same time.
The subsequent plan is to gradually reduce the recreational facilities in each residential area and centralize them in this expanded area, so that some space can be freed up to build residential areas.
Since the reform plan began, Fang Min has gradually relaxed the family planning policy.
The population also entered a period of positive growth 22 years ago, and there will even be a baby boom in the fleet every few years.
Wang Sen looked at all this with a happy smile on his face.
Today he and Fang Min will jointly wake up Chen Cheng and Hao Chenqi to take over their work, and the two of them will enter deep sleep until they reach their destination.
Wang Sen fulfilled his promise to Shi Shaojie that he would take the initiative to wake up his successors when they were old and unable to do their jobs.
Fang Min, who is over 270 years old, sat next to Wang Sen on a suspended chair and looked at the scenery outside the hanging window without saying a word.
After a while, he took the initiative and said, “Let’s go, that’s all we can do.”
Wang Sen nodded: “After working day and night for so many years, I finally completed the original plan. As for the follow-up plan, I can only leave it to Chen Cheng and the others.”
With that said, the two of them walked towards the hibernation center with the support of the staff.
