[Sorry, but just two more days and we'll be back to the normal release rate. I'm moving on the 11th and have been really busy with the new house. But it's almost done.]

The Celestial Spear, Tianjin's largest spacecraft, was, naturally, a colossus.
Docked on the ground, its silhouette dominated the view for thousands of kilometers, towering over many of the surrounding mountains.
Its highest point reached five kilometers, and its hull stretched seventy kilometers in length.
Each of the four main engines, on its own, was the size of a mountain.
And each of the more than one hundred secondary engines was larger than an entire building.
The main cannon was over twenty kilometers long, and the secondary cannons—thousands of them—each had a caliber of over 5,000 mm.
It carried a crew of over twenty million workers and had room for two hundred million passengers, a number that could reach five hundred million in emergencies.
