Half-immortal civilization

A master company can always create some miracles, making it difficult for others to breathe!

First of all, at the end of June, the master company announced an unprecedented bounty-a bounty on asteroids.To be precise, it is a reward for steel.But obviously, the purchase price of 6 yuan per ton cannot be obtained from the earth or the moon.Because even if one ton of steel is transported from the moon, the transportation price is more than 8000 yuan.Then, calculated in this way, only by dragging asteroids from the asteroid belt can there be sufficient profit margins.

For a time, interstellar exploration activities ushered in the first real peak.Hundreds of spaceships launched from the earth, and basically all asteroids with a diameter of more than 50 meters were explored.

In fact, as mentioned earlier, what is commonly referred to as the asteroid belt can only be said to be a relatively concentrated asteroid; but the entire solar system is full of asteroids, but some places have more and some places have fewer.But under such a dragnet search, as long as it is an asteroid of a size that is pleasing to the eye, it will all be followed by more than n eyes.

The asteroids that once worried scientists have all changed from dangerous objects that destroy the earth to ore stars that everyone envies!If an asteroid with a diameter of 50 meters has half the iron content, its value will be as high as: 2 million yuan! ! !This is simply a gold mine in space-well, the price of gold in space has fallen below that of steel, and in the space age, practicality determines value.

It is conceivable that the explorers are crazy.

At the end of August, the first adventure group that went directly to the asteroid belt came back, which was the adventure team of Fengchen Transportation Company.An irregular asteroid with a diameter of about 8 meters was dragged back, and the iron content was as high as 300%!On the day of trading with the master company, everyone went crazy.The price given by the master company is 86 billion yuan!

And what's even crazier is in the back: Fengchen Transportation Company directly said - we don't want money, all of them will be replaced by spaceships!I want to build a unique spaceship with 98 billion yuan to build it!
In crazy times, there are always crazy stories.The Fengchen Transportation Company was just the beginning; as more and more expeditions returned, the outer space of the moon was surrounded by a full circle of "meteorites"-becoming the moon's satellites.This is the means for the master company to store ore.The ore asteroids were placed in space one by one, making the whole world drool, but no one dared to think a little bit.The largest is more than 400 meters, and the smallest is only a dozen meters.No matter how big it is.I can't drag it anymore.In other words, the time is long, the investment is too high, the risk is too great, and the gain outweighs the loss; no matter how small it is, it is the same.

Capital is the driving force for progress; under such stimulation, the adventure group began to expand, and more people on the ground began to withdraw funds.Enter this space age.And in space.The adventure team is even more non-stop.Shuttle back and forth in space.

On the other hand, on the ground and in the sky, a second and even more transportation companies finally appeared.Baojian Group and Fengchen Transportation Company also began to have competitors.because.The master company even opened up the sales business of low-level space shuttles and ordinary spaceships.Of course, the premise is that you have a Chinese resident card.

At the end of 2066, when a total of 10 Colossus spacecraft were dispatched collectively, it once again attracted the attention of the whole world.Last time, four Colossus spaceships sortied, dragged Ceres, and played pinball!I don't know what heartbeat to play this time?

There are seventy or eighty spaceships following the ten giants, which belong to the adventure group.Expert companies do not object to these people following: now is the stage of support and development, with a weak non-government foundation, it will take some time to develop into a mature company with good self-expansion capabilities.

Of course, these adventure groups also brought generous support to the master company.Massive mineral resources and sufficient human resources in space have allowed the development of the master company to a higher level.The development of modern science and technology, in addition to the research and development of cutting-edge technology, the rest is basically the expansion of replication - and this requires materials.Obviously, the number one material for science and technology is steel!Therefore, on the earth, steel production is still regarded as an important symbol of a country.

In the vast space, ten giants rumbled past; and around the giants, small spaceships, large and small, were scattered in teams.Among these spaceships, the largest is only a little over 300 meters.The larger spaceship is more than 500 meters, which is obviously not acceptable to the current small adventure team - it is custom-made by Fengchen Transportation Company.Moreover, the spaceship is too big, the maintenance is also very cumbersome, and the requirements for the pilot are also high.

The dark red Vesta has a distinctive shape.On Vesta, which is about 500 kilometers in diameter, there is a crater about 460 kilometers.This made Vesta look like it had been bitten by a dog.In the middle of the crater, there is a "small" bulge, which is a mountain peak as high as 18 kilometers; the outer edge of the crater is 4-12 kilometers above the ground.On the entire Vesta, there are more than a thousand mountain tops, the height of which is higher than the highest peak on the earth - Mount Everest at a height of about 8.8 kilometers!
There is also ice on Vesta, but very little, but it is just enough to make Vesta beautiful.Looking closely, the dark red surface is covered with blue, yellow, red, etc. colors, which are the mixture formed by the combination of ice and minerals, reflecting the beautiful sunlight.

Observing Vesta at close range for the first time, everyone felt a kind of shock!
From one side, it looks like a big bowl with a diameter of 500 kilometers!
From the other side, it looks like a beautiful lotus mountain range that only appears in animation!
From a certain angle, it looks like a human brain.

"It's so beautiful!" This is the exclamation of most people.

"If it's towed back, how much is it worth? Let me do the math. Calculated based on a diameter of 450 kilometers and an iron content of 50%, that's also..."

"Money fans, go away! Even if you drag it for 1000 years, we can't move this thing with our aircraft."

In the distance, the staff of the master company has already started to work, and the small space shuttle is moving through the space flexibly.An extremely strong carbon fiber net completed the envelopment within seven days.Because the purpose of Vesta is different from that of Ceres, Vesta must be completely dragged within the gravitational range of the earth, and the safety of the earth must be ensured. Therefore, Vesta must speed up at the beginning; but when it gets around the earth, it will start to slow down.And for the safety of the earth, Vesta needs to orbit the moon.

But at this moment, there is no adventure group following around.After all, the supplies carried by the adventure group are relatively tight.Under the protection of the master company, these people have already found their goals and returned, most of which are asteroids with rich mineral resources below 300 meters.

"Activate!" Following Li Canglan's order, another huge asteroid was brutally murdered! (To be continued..)
