Interstellar Industrial Age

v2 Chapter 377: , The asteroid must be brought back

In a void in the inner circle of the solar system, the Huiye spacecraft quietly relies on inertia at a speed of 46 kilometers per second in the void. The fuel on it has been exhausted, and an asteroid is trailing behind.

"Oshima, can we really not catch up with the earth?"

Here is the control center of the spacecraft Yuya. Here, Taita Koichi once asked Jiro Oshima, a space astronomy scientist who is responsible for calculating the orbit of the spacecraft Yuya.

"Can't keep up ~ I can be pretty sure of that."

"According to the original plan, we had to meet the earth at a speed of 500,000 kilometers per second. Now our speed is only over 40 kilometers per second. There is no way to calculate it at all. Time and Earth meet. "

"Now that we have run out of fuel, there is no way to continue to accelerate, and even if we lose this asteroid, we have no way to catch up with Earth."

"Once we can't catch up with the earth, then we will never be able to return to the earth. We have no way to slow down or change the trajectory of flight. We will continue to wander like this."

Oshima Jiro shook his head helplessly. It has repeatedly calculated the orbit of the Huiye spacecraft and the earth. It can be confirmed 100% that the spacecraft cannot meet the earth at the specified time.

"How close can we be to the earth if we are nearest?"

Ota broadly nodded. In fact, Jiro Oshima did not need to say that as the captain, he was also very aware of this, but he needed a professional to confirm it.

"According to the current trajectory of our flight and the trajectory of the earth's operation, we will be 5 million kilometers away from the earth in 15 days. This distance is the shortest distance. After that, the distance between us and the earth will be further and further.

Oshima Jiro used the virtual watch he was wearing to tell the results calculated by the computer.

"In 15 days, 5 million kilometers?"

Ota broadly nodded, pondered, and then sighed longly: "Now we can do nothing, the only thing we can do is wait, and see what can be done to save us from the earth."

"The only way on Earth's native side is to go to Xinghe Technology Group and let them dispatch the Qinglong spaceship. With the powerful performance of the Qinglong spaceship, they can come to save us during this time and catch up with the earth , Even, I guess they can haul back even this asteroid. "

Oshima Jiro thought for a while and said with a bitter smile: "But if we want Xinghe Technology Group to help out, we definitely have to pay a huge price, and they may not be willing to help us."

"The Empire will not abandon us!"

Ota broadly looked at the direction of the earth and said with certainty.

Earth, Japan.

"The Academy of Sciences has repeatedly confirmed that due to the exhaustion of fuel and the speed of the spacecraft has not reached the predetermined speed, there is no way to catch up with the Earth. We must find a way to save the spacecraft."

Masao Nakamura looked at the big guy in a conference room, introduced the current situation in detail, and also expressed his opinion. The spacecraft Huiye must be rescued. This spacecraft cost a huge price, and more importantly, The more than 100 people on the spaceship are all elites, and now they are Japanese heroes.

Of course, the asteroid towed back by the spacecraft Yuya is what everyone really cares about. 20 million tons of gold, which is enough to make Japan ’s huge wealth rich overnight, even if it costs so much, whenever possible, They will also do everything possible to bring it back to Earth.

This is now the case for the Huiye spacecraft, not to gamble on the National Games, or for this huge wealth, otherwise the Huiye spacecraft will not be so, and it is no problem to haul back an asteroid casually. of.

"Are there any viable options over the Academy of Sciences?"

"If so, let it go. At all costs, be sure to bring that asteroid back to Earth."

The big man sitting at the highest position thought and wanted to change his mouth and said that he only cares about that asteroid and 20 million tons of gold. For him, if the asteroid can come back, even if the asteroid spacecraft can come back, It's gone, it's worth it.

"The only way now is to go to Qin Yi and launch the Qinglong spaceship. Only the Qinglong spaceship can be used to bring the Huiye spaceship back. As for that asteroid ..."

Nakamura did not continue to say anything, he is very clear that the importance of this asteroid, 20 million tons of gold, no matter which country will be tempted by such a huge amount of gold.

Although the huge amount of gold will cause the price of earth's gold to plummet, but gold is not only a symbol of wealth. It has a huge role in the industrial field and has a lot of effects in many places.

Just because the price of gold is too expensive, many times it uses alternative materials, but in the highly sensitive electronics and high-tech fields, there are still many places that need to use gold, and there is no way to use alternative materials, like in mobile phones. Gold, many people recycle mobile phones, is to use the gold-containing parts to refine gold.

Gold is both wealth and an important industrial material, and it is also a country's most important strategic reserve. It is an important thing to stabilize a country's currency. Each of the world's major hooligans and major economies has a large amount of gold reserves.

"Every effort is needed to bring that asteroid back."

I didn't even think about it, and gave a death order.

"Hi ~"

Nakamura quickly bowed his head and replied.

...

Recently, Qin Yi's mood was quite good. The Qinglong spacecraft returned from the asteroid belt, and brought back an asteroid with a mass of 100 million tons.

With sufficient resources, the Longchao Space Factory is also fully fired. At the same time, five Qinglong-class spaceships are being built. Because of the large-scale castings, the spacecraft is getting better and better. The Qinglong class spacecraft can reach 500 million tons of thrust.

Of these 5 spaceships, 2 were ordered here, basically not making money, and one was Laozhangren, and did not make money. One was sold to Ji Rong, and the price of one was enough to build this. There are a few spaceships, and the remaining one, Qin Yi intends to use it by himself, is still the old rule, each batch of spaceships, at least, must keep one or two.

Only if you have enough spaceships can you do what you want, without being restricted by others, not to mention that Qin Yi is left with only money now. Instead of saving money in the bank, it is better to save more space The spaceship, the spaceship taken away to the asteroid, can bring a steady stream of profits every year.

"Boss, the Japanese are looking for you again. See you?"

At this time, Lin Fang, Qin Yi's secretary, came in and said.

"Did they say anything?"

Qin Yi thought for a while. It seems that he didn't dig a hole in Japan recently. What are they doing to find out for themselves? Last time, they did n’t think their spacecraft was expensive.

"Take them to the conference room."

After thinking about it, Qin Yi still decided to meet these Japanese people. If he can sell a spaceship for 5 trillion yuan, he can make enough money to build a few spaceships himself. This sale can still be done. The cost of this spaceship is too great, and it is not possible to find a few injustices.

Soon after, Qin Yi came to the conference room. This time it was Nakamura Masao, and also Taro Ishida who met last time.

"Mr. Qin ~"

Seeing Qin Yi coming, Taro Ishida and Masao Nakamura also stood up quickly and bowed very politely.

"Mr. Ishida, I didn't expect how fast, we met again."

Qin Yi smiled and nodded, and then sat down with the guests.

"Mr. Qin, let me introduce you. This is Masao Nakamura. Our head of the Japan Space and Space Center ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Taro Ishida smiled and introduced Masao Nakamura to Qin Yi.

"Hello, Mr. Nakamura."

Qin Yi smiled and greeted the other party, but then thought quickly.

"Did something happen to the Japanese night spacecraft?"

"Shouldn't they come to me for help?"

Thinking of this, Qin Yi quickly used his virtual watch to send a message to the Institute of Space Astronomy and Science of the Xinghe Academy of Sciences to let them verify the situation of the spacecraft Huiye as soon as possible. There is no reason not to slaughter them.

"Mr. Qin, for a long time, I can see you today, and my life is fortunate."

Nakamura bowed and bowed to Qin Yi, very respectful. This is from the heart. He really admires Qin Yi. As the person in charge of the Space Center, he knows that everything is being promoted by the person in front of him. Without him, the earth wants to develop to the present level, and we don't know how long it will take.

"Mr. Nakamura and Mr. Ishida don't have to be so polite, please feel free. I don't have so many rules here. I have met with Mr. Ishida several times, and it is considered cheap."

Qin Yi smiled and said, originally did not want to waste time, just talk about the business.

But now, Qin Yi is going to wait for a while, wait for his subordinates to find out the situation of the Hui Ye, and after clearing the other party's intentions, come and talk slowly.

Now, still try to drag the other side, this Nakamura is coming, it must be related to the spacecraft Huiye, in addition, Qin Yi really can not figure out why they find themselves.

In a short period of time, they should not be able to buy enough space to buy their own spacecraft. As for other things, there is no need to send two big brothers together.
