- 260 m long
- 100 m wide
- 6 decks… sorry floors
- 600 million yuan ($97 million)

The Enterprise-E , on the other hand has the following specs:
• Class: Sovereign
• 675 m long
• 240 m width
• 24 decks
• "The economics of the future are somewhat different… You see money doesn’t exist in the 24
th
century.” Captain Jean Luc Picard, Star Trek: First Contact.
Too bad for NetDragon’s founder Liu Dejian. If he just waited another 358 years he could have constructed this building for free. But for now he can have solace in the knowledge that “fate protects fools, little children and [office buildings] named Enterprise,” Commander William Riker, Star Trek TNG: Contagion.
