And so, the final plan was set in stone.
While constructing the massive reactor, humanity would use it as the foundation to build a true interstellar spacecraft!
This colossal vessel would measure over 30 kilometers in both width and height, and stretch more than 40 kilometers long, with the original Noah acting as its central core.
To keep the total mass manageable, everyone would continue living inside the Noah, and the vast majority of materials would be stored there. The external structure surrounding the Noah would consist strictly of the reactors, propulsion engines, weapon systems, and docking bays for various smaller spacecraft. Nothing extraneous.
The most crucial components were the four nuclear reactors, which accounted for more than 60% of the spacecraft's total mass.
"Wow, this is absolutely incredible..." Marcus, Austin, and their trusted colleagues' eyes lit up as they eagerly pored over the spaceship's design blueprints, their faces flushed with excitement.
