"This asteroid is almost always made of iron. As long as it is pulled back to the earth, the price of steel on the earth is now about 1,000 yuan a ton. This unrefined raw ore is pulled into space. Calculating 3,000 yuan a ton is the price of cabbage. "

"No matter how low the transportation cost of this anti-gravity spacecraft, the cost of transporting anything into space will also increase significantly."

"This asteroid weighs 150 million tons. If it is 3,000 yuan a ton, it is worth 450 billion yuan. We are getting rich!"

Huang Zhibin said more and more excited. Qin Yi had personally promised that the entire team of asteroids recovered this time accounted for 5%.

"My dear, this asteroid is worth 450 billion Chinese yuan?"

When everyone else heard it, all of them were calm.

"Any asteroid is worth hundreds of billions. This asteroid belt doesn't know how many such asteroids, oh my god, this asteroid belt is almost all over gold."

"M-type asteroids like this with metal elements accounted for 15% of the total, and can be found casually, almost everywhere."

Liao Fanghong exclaimed directly, and her eyes couldn't help red.

"The boss promised us that this asteroid was mined back and 5% belonged to us. If the 450 billion counted, there are almost 22.5 billion. We are 22 people in total. Even if we divide it evenly, each of us can share it. To 1 billion ~ "

"It's really getting rich, 1 billion ~"

Someone firmly remembered Qin Yi's words, and with his fingers silently calculated, the whole person couldn't help crying out.

When everyone else on the spacecraft heard it, all of them were dumbfounded. At the beginning, you still think that this asteroid that is not worth the money can be worth. The asteroid with a diameter of several hundred meters does not know how much it has encountered along the way. .

At the time of departure, everyone did not think that Qin Yi would give you a 5% reward, but now it is a simple calculation. If this trip successfully brings the asteroid back to Earth, everyone present will be a billionaire.

"The entire asteroid belt is full of gold!"

Wu Renjie couldn't help but follow a long sigh and kept thinking in his mind. With the rapid development of the space industry and technology, more and more steel, metal, and so on are needed in space. They are completely transported from ground to space. Obviously, it will not work, and the mining of asteroids from the asteroids will definitely become the mainstream, and maybe their own opportunities will come in the future.

The thought flashed in his mind, and soon he calmed down again.

"Attention everyone, the spacecraft is changing direction, and we will catch the asteroid."

The distance of more than 3,000 kilometers looks very far away, but for a spacecraft flying in the starry sky, it doesn't take a few minutes to reach the vicinity of this asteroid.

The huge hatch on the ‘Qinglong’ spacecraft slowly opened, and two small spacecrafts whistled out, each carrying a long rope on it.

This kind of rope is naturally not an ordinary rope. All are made of carbon fiber material. A carbon fiber with a thin hair can hang a few tons of things.

Carbon fiber material is a new type of high-strength, high-modulus fiber with a carbon content of 95% or more. It is formed by stacking organic fibers such as flake graphite microcrystals along the axial direction of the fiber, and is carbonized and graphitized. Microcrystalline graphite material obtained by processing.

Carbon fiber is "flexible outside and rigid inside". Its weight is lighter than that of metal aluminum, but its strength is higher than steel, and it has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and high modulus. It is more important that it not only has the inherent characteristics of carbon materials, but also has The soft to soft processability of textile fibers is a new generation of reinforcing fibers.

Before the departure, the Galaxy Research Institute has worked out a detailed method for mining asteroids. First, this high-strength carbon fiber rope is used to weave a small spacecraft into a net on it, and then use the spaceship to make small The planet is out of its original orbit.

Finally, rely on the gravitation of the solar system, calculate the position, and let the asteroid re-form a new orbit through the earth. When the asteroid is about to reach the earth, drag the asteroid again, and then rely on the gravity of the earth to capture the asteroid. Form an orbit around the earth and become a satellite of the earth, so that even the capture of the asteroid is completed.

Two small spaceships slowly fly to the position of the asteroid. These two spacecraft will be responsible for weaving the asteroid net and wrapping the asteroid with a carbon fiber rope.

"Hmm! Hmm!"

A steel fork was launched from each spacecraft. The steel fork was deeply penetrated into the asteroid by its speed. A long carbon fiber rope was dragged behind the steel fork, and then two spacecraft began to wrap around the asteroid. Dozens of laps were entwined one circle at a time.

Then the two universes began to orbit each other and entangled the two ropes again, slowly flying towards the Qinglong spaceship.

In the Qinglong spacecraft, the robotic arm began to wind and fix the rope behind the small spacecraft to the spaceship's pillars. At this time, the rope was connected to the Qinglong spacecraft and the asteroid, but the rope was not tightened, so they were simply not connected Not much impact.

All this seems to be very simple to say, but it is actually full of risks. It is definitely not so easy and simple. Besides, you need to know that the spacecraft and asteroids are constantly moving at this time, and the speed is very fast. Therefore, the speed and direction of the two must be adjusted to be the same, so that they can reach a state of being stationary.

Then using an asteroid to wind an asteroid is also full of risks. Asteroids generally have an autobiography in addition to revolutions. An accident that could cause the asteroid to drag the asteroid to a collision and other major accidents.

There are also two small spacecrafts intertwined with braided ropes. It also requires attention. Very high flying skills are required. At the same time, the spacecraft's performance requirements are also very high.

You need to know that this is in the cosmic void, not on the earth. There is no air, no northeast, southwest, up, down, left, right, etc. It is not easy to change the direction at will.

Although the risk is high, the technology equipment on the Qinglong is the most advanced, the most advanced technology crystal of the Xinghe Technology Group. In addition, the crew on the spacecraft are carefully selected, and everyone has space. The rich experience in this can make it all smoothly and smoothly.

"The rope is fixed!"

"Start the engine!"

As Wu Renjie's order was issued, everyone began to get nervous. Although it is theoretically calculated that Qinglong can drag this asteroid that weighs almost 150 million tons, but this is only theoretical. Data, what will happen when the operation is actually performed, everyone is still panic, because this is related to everyone's life and worth.

The second-generation anti-gravity engine was started. Under the powerful power, the entire Qinglong spacecraft began to vibrate, and the speed of the spacecraft began to change slowly. The carbon fiber rope connecting the Qinglong spacecraft and the asteroid also began to slowly. Straighten and tighten.

"Attention everyone ~"

Wu Renjie and others have all put on their space suits, and some team members have already piloted small spacecrafts to fly in space. Once the spacecraft crashes and is pulled apart by powerful forces, everyone can still rely on the small spacecrafts to save their lives. Back to Earth.

Wu Renjie and others stared at the data very nervously, looking at the tighter and tighter ropes in outer space, silently praying in their hearts.

Soon, everyone felt only a tremor from the spacecraft, and everyone only felt a strong inertia. The whole person almost ejected. Fortunately, everyone was firmly fixed on the space chair and fully prepared.

The carbon fiber rope connecting the Qinglong spacecraft and the asteroid collapsed straight. The carbon fiber rope with a diameter of one meter above the asteroid tightened into the asteroid until it encountered the hardest rock layer and stopped.

"call!"

Everyone was relieved, everything went well, and the 'Qinglong' spacecraft did nothing.

"Increase horsepower ~"

Wu Renjie carefully stared at each item of data. At this time, the spacecraft's power was not exerted at all, and the structure of the hull was not strong enough to exert the powerful performance of the second-generation anti-gravity engine at all.

As his order was issued, the vibration on the spacecraft became greater, and the powerful power of the second-generation anti-gravity engine began to emerge. Using the powerful power of the stars, the asteroid began to change, the original trajectory changed, and a new one began to form. trail of.

"Haha, it worked!"

Zhan Fei, who has been paying attention to the situation of the asteroid, couldn't help but smile happily. At this time, the orbit of the asteroid has changed from the original orbit and began to form a new orbit.

"Oye!"

Even Wu Renjie, who was almost 40 years old, couldn't help but clenched his fists happily. The whole person seemed very excited, successfully dragged the asteroid, and changed the asteroid's orbit.

"Calculate your current orbit. Calculate the time and place of encounter with Earth's orbit."

On the other hand, Huang Zhibin and Long Zhankong became more tense, without any free time ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ because they also need to calculate a new orbit, and then calculate the time and Location, this is a major issue that will affect whether the asteroid can be captured by the Earth's gravity.

"At present, the orbit cannot coincide with the Earth's orbit and must be modified."

Soon, using a supercomputer, the two quickly calculated the orbits of the asteroids, but they could not intersect with the orbits of the earth at all, so the orbits had to be adjusted.

Now just starting the adjustment, the energy consumption can be very small, and the angle and amplitude of the adjustment can also be very small, which is the best time.

"Calculate the trimming direction and degree."

The two quickly used the supercomputer to start recalculating. Soon, they got new data.

"Captain, the asteroid needs to be trimmed 2 degrees and the direction is 9 degrees from the Earth's ecliptic plane."

Long Zhankong hurriedly sent the results calculated by himself and Huang Zhibin, the longer the time dragged on, the more energy it would take to repair.

"understand!"

"Starting orbit correction."

Wu Renjie obtained the latest data and began to modify the flight direction and angle of Qinglong. Behind Qinglong, the orbit of the asteroid also began to change, one by one, slowly moving towards the planned orbit.

The engine of the Qinglong spacecraft was originally powerful enough to propel the asteroids by itself, but that consumes too much power, and the most labor-saving method is to learn to use the powerful power of the sun.

A few days later, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin were very relieved. They have repeatedly calculated the current orbit and speed of the asteroid, and combined with the orbit and speed of the earth, they will be on January 7, 2029. At 12:43:41, it converges with the earth, and will be captured by the earth's gravity, and become a satellite of the earth.
