  8. With the gym being more or less complete now he returned to his lab to continue a project that has long since put off. Entering his office he retrieved the blueprints for his single man ship. Taking them and some blank sheets he went about drawing up the blueprints for a much larger version, designed for carrying multiple passengers with a much more spacious interior. Though, unlike his small ships, he changed the design up a bit. Rather than a large, rough-looking metal bird it instead was now drawn to be much more smooth, completely round in fact. With multiple landing platforms that extended from the bottom as well as a smoothed door that would lower itself down from the side, both made to blend in with the smooth round shape of the exterior when closed and both functioned with a very basic hydraulic system.
  9.  
  10. This round shape allows for an easier airtight seal while also allowing for the least wind resistance in all directions. All along the sides were built small, and durable, plexiglass windows that take the same shape as the rest of the round exterior. These allowed for a three hundred and sixty-degree view all around the ship for the pilot. The exterior itself was made from reinforced plate-steel that is then layered with a thick coat of a clear heat resisting substance to prevent the ship from melting or coming apart when entering or exiting atmospheres.
  11.  
  12. The first thing to be handled now that the exterior was done, would be a power source. Though thanks to past projects he had a variety of choices at his disposal. For such a large and power hungry device he decided to go with his most efficient and powerful device thus far or generating power, his fusion reactor. The engine itself would be similar to that of his smaller ship, a duel ion drive. Though scaled up a great deal in both size and power.
  13.  
  14. As before it used very powerful electromagnetic pulses to ionize the fuel source, that being pure argon gas. Producing plasma that carries current between the ionizing anode and a cathode. The current, in turn, generates a magnetic field at right angles to the electric field, and thereby accelerates the positive ions out of the engine and giving it thrust. With the power of a fusion reactor behind the engine at this size and scale was more than enough force to easily move the ship around in and out of the orbit of any planet.
  15.  
  16. Next came the computer for the device. Taking a few days he slowly went about soldering and wiring each piece of it together, RAM, CPU, cooling systems, display drivers, and so on. With each piece and circuit board complete it was all carefully wired and soldered together. Next came installing it into the ship, a small central computer that allowed one person to fly the ship. The computer to be designed once installed to do most of the calculations itself in response to the user's input. Once the computer was inserted into the ship, a simple touchscreen display was then wired to it to allow for a user interface. Once done another day or so was taken to slowly code in all of the programs for the ship, once again using that basis of all codes, binary.
  17.  
  18. When the computer was done and programmed, it was then wired to each part of the ship, the doors, landing gear, engine, and power supply. A full test run of the computer was done next, making sure each part of the ship responded correctly to the commands placed into the console. Once everything had been installed, tested, and confirmed safe and ready a final run through would be done of the ship. Checking for any possible air leaks or design flaws.
  19.  
  20. Once this was all complete the second stage began, the interior of the ship, along with life support systems. Space was not a hospitable place and steps must be taken to ensure safety once the ship left the planet. Large and heavily pressurized oxygen tanks were installed into the ship. Six tanks in total and each capable of holding nearly two months supply of oxygen, more than enough to last a large group of people in space for an extended period of time.
  21.  
  22. Multiple atmospheric analyzers were installed around the ship and wired into the computer and oxygen supply tanks. Each one monitoring the oxygen levels and pressure of the ship's interior, and constantly making adjustments to keep the inside of the same condition as it would be on planet Earth.
  23.  
  24. With this done a final checklist was made, a power source was installed and working properly, the vessel was securely put together and ready for space, the engine was functioning properly, the computer had been installed and all systems appeared to be running properly, and finally a stable atmosphere was able to be maintained within the ship. This all being done, it was time to give the big thing a test flight to see how it does.
