We know that SGC had mining operations offworld which isn't a problem. The problem is how that ore got to the building sites of the 303 and 304. Cheyenne Mountain isn't exactly a place where it would allow a smooth flow of ore, processed or not to those building sites. Look at the hallways, they are narrow and the elevators we have seen are small. Presumably we could say there are larger elevators for this type of thing.
However, 303 and 304s are much larger than any wiki figure. 303 is between 370 to 450 meters long and 304 as long as 600 meters long. Both much larger overall than a Nimitz class carrier. If this ore came through the Stargate and even if they had a way of transporting the ore quickly, it would use alot of time with the gate being active in conjunction with other normal offworld operations.
The other thing too is the 303. It seems the 303 was built rather quickly. I mean obviously the 303 is after the failed 301 project, and presumably the 302 Project was either first or same time authorized as the 303 Project. Which means, the 303 was designed and built rather quickly.
My theory is that systems were designed and built as needed and resources were stocked up until enough technology was gathered and reverse engineered that a ship could be built.
The other thing too is where the 303 and presumably the 304s are built. The hanger where the 303 was built is several hundred feet underground so how did they dig all of that out without anyone knowing about something was going on in that area? The 303 hanger is also too small for the 304, but I guess they could have expanded upon it. It also seems that multiple 304s are built at the same time in a short amount of time as well. Which means more underground hangers had to built.
Thoughts?
