Regarding these elements that have not yet been discovered on Earth, whether it is Wang Bin, Qin Lao, and everyone present, they are very clear about their role in human civilization, and they naturally hope that they can be mined immediately.
However, whether it is Wang Bin himself or everyone else present knows that it is not easy to extract these undiscovered resources on the earth.
First of all, the natural resources of these minerals are located on Mars, and although human civilization has a certain ability to land on Mars, this is only limited to a small scale. If you want to make a large-scale landing on Mars, you can , The current capabilities of human civilization are still somewhat inadequate.
Because human civilization is now capable of manufacturing space warships with a tonnage of tens of thousands of tons, as well as space fighters and space planes. These spacecraft can land on Mars. However, among these spacecraft, they actually have the ability to take off and land on Mars. There are only space fighters.
After all, the tonnage of the spacecraft is too large. The weight of the empty ship alone can reach tens of thousands of tons. If various equipment are added, the weight of the spacecraft can even reach tens of thousands of tons. It is impossible for the moon to take off and land, not to mention, in terms of gravity, Mars is bigger than the moon.
As for the aerospace planes, except for Phoenix One, which can be landed when the easy takeoff and landing runway is completed, other aerospace planes do not currently have the ability to take off and land because other types of aerospace planes must use standard Take off and land on the runway.
After all, the gravitational force of Mars is two-fifths of that of the earth. In addition, there is also an atmosphere on Mars. Therefore, a runway is necessary to allow a larger aerospace plane to take off and land with the help of Martian air.
Therefore, if you want to mine these minerals on a large scale on Mars, you must first establish a standard aircraft take-off and landing runway on Mars.
In addition, one or two small-scale aircraft landing on Mars is fine. If the maintenance is done before then, the probability of accident is not great, but once large-scale mining is carried out, then it must be Like the moon, it must have the ability to repair and maintain aerospace aircraft.
In addition, there are also the living, accommodation and rest of the mining personnel, which is also a huge problem, so they must also establish a huge survival base on Mars.
According to Wang Bin and others' estimates, this survival base must be able to meet the production and living capacity of at least 100,000 people, and the construction of such a base is definitely a huge project.
In addition, there are also difficulties in mining. You must know that the place where these minerals are located is more than 700 meters below the ice layer!
The most important thing is that the hardness of the ice layer on this underground lake is very large. Even the hardness of ordinary ice layer exceeds the hardness of steel, so it is also very difficult to mine.
According to Wang Bin and others' estimates, if humans want to realize large-scale mining on Mars, these minerals will not be realized until at least ten years later.
However, Wang Bin and Qin Lao and others are a little depressed because they are still unable to mine on a large scale, but small-scale mining is not difficult for them. After all, even if these minerals are then mined, they will never be like. Like other commonly used minerals, they are used on a large scale.
Because Wang Bin, Qin Lao and others are very clear that these minerals, even in the universe, are absolutely uncommon, so the methods used are absolutely the same as the scarce strategic elements on the earth, and they are used in small amounts, not to mention Now, Wang Bin and others are still at a loss as to the specific methods of using these minerals. First, they need to conduct further analysis of these minerals and conduct a series of experiments.
So even small-scale mining is temporarily enough for the current human civilization.
As for Mars, the order Wang Bin gave them was to first determine the content of these minerals here. If it is only a small amount, then there is no need to mobilize so much to establish large-scale mining here. If the reserves of these minerals are very large here, then it is necessary to establish a large-scale mining base.
Following the order of the command center, Peng Ming and others on Mars immediately began to explore the reserves of these minerals here. At the same time, the construction of the Mars simple runway has been built after such a long time. The preliminary construction has been completed, and the initial take-off and landing of the Phoenix-1 aerospace plane has been achieved.
At the same time, in the following week, with the help of the Dijiang spacecraft and the Earth Command Center, Peng Ming and others also initially ascertained the reserves of these substances in this area. According to the data, these minerals here In total, the reserves have reached approximately three million tons.
The widest point of the vein reaches 5 kilometers, the longest point reaches 10 kilometers, and the thickest point is 5 meters.
When Wang Bin and others saw this preliminary exploration data, they all immediately smiled. After all, the reserves of this one are already very amazing. You must know that many strategically scarce materials on the earth are not available. Reach such reserves.
After all, this is not the most common substance throughout the universe! It's a very rare substance in the entire universe!
Of course, in fact, Lao Qin and others at this time cannot define these substances in more detail. After all, Lao Qin and others do not know what proportion of these substances are in the universe, but there is one thing, that It is absolutely rarer than the scarce strategic elements on the earth ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ otherwise, these substances will not be found on the entire earth.
At the same time, after ascertaining the reserves of these minerals here, Wang Bin and the others did not order the Mars side to start mining immediately, but asked Peng Ming and the others to continue to build the Mars aerospace plane take-off and landing runway. At the same time, They also asked them to continue deep drilling in the upper ice layer of the underground lake outside of these minerals.
After all, compared to the previous accidental discovery of these minerals, exploring whether there is really liquid water under the underground lake is their main mission to land on Mars. The discovery of these minerals was just a surprise.
In addition, Wang Bin and their Earth Command Center also ordered the Dijiang spacecraft to immediately carry out more detailed upgrades to other places on Mars, and check on Mars. In addition to this place where there are such minerals, there are other places. Does this mineral still exist in places, and whether there are substances that have not yet been discovered by human civilization?
But unfortunately, after Captain Qiu discovered the minerals here, he also immediately explored other areas of Mars. He did not find such minerals, nor did he discover materials that other human civilizations did not discover. .
