If successful, really fun. One step towards something like Battlestar Galactica.

China is studying the in-orbit assembly of an extra-large spacecraft to be developed during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period, which is expected to become a major strategic vehicle for its future use of space resources, deep-space explorations and long-term human stays in outer space.
Experts believed that albeit a number of technical and management challenges, the spacecraft could have broad applications, such as the building of a space power plant that will generate electricity for the planet.
......
the Chinese spacecraft, which is designed to be kilometer-level in size, will at least be 10 times the length of the International Space Station (ISS)
......
space experts say that there will be a great deal of challenges that must be overcome, apart from the huge demand for manpower and resources, considering the tremendous size and the complexity of the spacecraft, which has greatly exceeded that of the ISS, it will be a challenging project.
