It is precisely because the people in the Dijiang spacecraft are very aware of the dangers in the asteroid belt, so they naturally reduced the speed to a controllable range.
"Sir, according to Laida's discovery, we are very rich and sent 50,000 yuan to help you out. A small star with a diameter of about 20 meters is found, and it has a strong metallic reaction. It is very likely to be a metal As the main constituent element of asteroids, I would like to ask if you need to go for exploration." Just as everyone felt a little boring, the personnel responsible for exploring nearby asteroids reported.
So when this person reported this information, whether it was the captain of the Dijiang spacecraft or the other personnel, they were all refreshed. After all, flying in the empty space is too boring, and now finally When they found a valuable goal, they naturally wanted to go and take a look.
Therefore, the captain of the Dijiang spacecraft, Captain Qiu, immediately ordered from the bridge: "I will adjust the course and approach the target asteroid. Since it is a valuable asteroid, we will naturally go and explore it."
After speaking, he also thought to himself that this asteroid belt, even though scientists on Earth had already speculated that there are a lot of resources in it, including various strategic rare metal resources.
And now it seems that there is no doubt that the previous speculations of the scientists on the earth are correct. In this asteroid belt, all kinds are indeed very abundant. Otherwise, if they enter the asteroid belt, the first one they encounter is more than 10 in diameter. Mi's asteroids have a certain value.
You know, this is an asteroid with a diameter of more than 30 meters, and it is also an asteroid dominated by metal materials, so even if the metals in this asteroid are all the most common in the universe, for example, , Iron, copper, magnesium, aluminum, etc., all have very high value.
After all, as the earth civilization began to enter the era of large-scale spaceflight, large-scale manufacturing of working spacecraft began, and these spacecraft require a large amount of metal to manufacture, especially the most common metal in the universe. in this way.
It is precisely because of this that the production capacity of various common metals on the earth has been seriously insufficient. At the same time, some minerals have begun to dry up at this time. After all, whether it is a variety of spacecraft, space stations, and space cities, large amounts are needed. Of various common metals.
As for the mineral base on the moon, although mining has begun at this time, it can even basically meet the current needs. However, everyone knows that with human civilization, there are various space battleships and various space equipment to be manufactured. Bases on different planets require a large amount of various metals, especially common metal materials.
It is precisely because of this that human civilization's demand for these common metal materials will also increase exponentially. Given the scale of human civilization's mining of these metal materials, it is far from being able to meet future needs, so it is necessary now. Plan ahead and look for some metal minerals, especially those in the asteroid belt. After all, compared to things on other planets, the asteroids here, especially the small asteroids, are the least difficult to mine.
At that time, as long as you use small spacecraft to tow these asteroids to the orbit of Mars or Venus, and then use solar energy for refining, you can get a lot of metal.
As for why it is not the earth and the moon, this is also for the safety of the earth and the moon. Although with the current technology of human civilization, even if these asteroids are towed near the earth or the moon, these asteroids can be well controlled to make It will not fall to the earth or the moon.
But just in case! They all say that they are not afraid of anything but ten thousand. In addition, between the earth and the moon or the earth-moon system, there are now many kinds of space equipment of human civilization, as well as various spacecraft, such as spacecraft. Sky planes and various satellites and so on.
Once these asteroids enter the Earth-Moon system and collide with these spacecraft, it is also possible. Therefore, the best way is to place them in the orbit of Mars or Venus. However, compared to Mars, the upper layers of the Earth are actually And Wang Bin and others are more inclined to Venus.
After all, Mars not only has a base of human civilization on Mars. Although there is only one now, it will definitely not be only one in the future. At the same time, the energy of sunlight near Mars is much weaker than that of Earth and Venus. Sure enough If you want to use the energy of the sun for smelting, it will be much more difficult than near Venus, and the funds will be more expensive, and the construction time will be longer. This is definitely not what everyone wants. have witnessed.
Following Captain Qiu's order, the Dijiang spacecraft began to fly towards the discovered asteroid. During the flight, the spacecraft also released multiple aircraft. Immediately begin various detections of this news, such as scanning with a spectrometer, to analyze the basic elements of this asteroid.
Soon, the data from these detectors came back.
"Captain! The basic data of the asteroid has come out~www.mtlnovel.com~ According to the data analysis of the spectrometer, this asteroid is a metallic asteroid with iron as the main element and supplemented by other metal materials. According to According to the data, this asteroid contains at least 50% iron, 30% copper, 10% nickel, and 2% gold. One part of platinum, one hundredth of thorium, other than that, the others are basically composed of ordinary rocks and silicon. It can be said that this asteroid does not seem to be large in size, with a diameter of only Up to fifty meters, but its value is absolutely indescribable, and it is definitely an asteroid worth mining."
"Not bad! Not bad! Unexpectedly, we have just entered the asteroid, and we have gained so much. Presumably, the resources contained in this asteroid belt will definitely greatly exceed our expectations!" After listening to the report, Qiu Jian Chang said happily.
"Yeah! Captain! I have a hunch that this asteroid belt will definitely be the best gift God has given us to human civilization." This is a young man standing next to Captain Qiu and nodded.
"Yes! And I also believe it. Although basically what we found in this asteroid is just the most common metal minerals, I believe that there will be a lot of rare metals in this asteroid belt. Even if we can find elements that we don't have on the earth, maybe." Another young man said.
