Chapter 1097
Next to the Lingxiao space station, "Naughty Boy" is being propelled by three aerospace planes and dozens of thrusters, and is orbiting the earth.

According to common sense, a star with such a large mass cannot fly around the earth in low-earth orbit (compared to the moon). The most likely thing is to fall directly to the earth, become a meteor, and crash.

However, with three aerospace planes and dozens of propellers, it can barely keep the naughty boy flying.

Dozens of machines resembling mechanical octopuses are cutting the body of "Naughty Boy", and from time to time, they will fly back to the Lingxiao space station behind with the cut stars in their tentacles.

There are only a dozen crew members on the space station.Here, like the Donghuang aerospace plane, an imitation gravity system is installed, and technicians can walk freely in the space station, without having to be in a weightless environment like other near-Earth aerospace bodies. Many experiments are very difficult to do. the inconvenience.

Because the imitation gravity system is not in weightlessness, some characteristics in space will not be able to be displayed, but such an environment is more conducive to the utilization of resources on the "Naughty Boy" asteroid. In several processing "workshops" in the space station, the machines are low. The roaring sound spread in the artificial air environment.

Xu Xiaofeng is in the main control room of the space station, watching the busy mechanical octopus outside through the big screen, and adjusting the commands to the mechanical octopus from time to time.

Liu Gang, the deputy director of the space station next to him, pointed to the data on the small screen next to the large screen and said: "According to current calculations, 34 of the 27 thrusters will run out of energy within ten days and will not be able to function. It stops working after fifteen to twenty days."

Xu Xiaofeng nodded slightly and said: "After all, this batch of propellers was manufactured on a temporary basis. In fact, they have already played their due role. Look at those mechanical octopuses, in fact, with their functions, they can be used in the 'Naughty Boy' Metal processing directly on the body, processing the resources on this asteroid into the alloys or metals we need. However, in order for the 'naughty boy' to be able to fly in orbit smoothly before the propeller runs out of energy, it is better to transport it back to the space station .”

"How useful are these alloys?" Although Liu Gang is an expert in aerospace, he is a layman when it comes to metal materials.

"See it?" Xu Xiaofeng pointed to one of the star mechanical octopus that was dragging a large piece, about seven or eight tons, and said: "Just such a piece of star, the alloy that can be processed by it can be used on the No. 17 aircraft carrier. The material of the special steel plate on the deck has been improved by two levels! And the catalyst separated from it can greatly increase the fuel utilization rate of the nuclear reactor we are currently using. With these catalysts, the nuclear reactor will hardly produce nuclear waste. Moreover, the generation of energy is more stable, and there is almost no leakage like that of the Fukushima nuclear power plant."

"Really?" Although Liu Gang is a layman, he is still very sensitive to energy. He was surprised to hear Xu Xiaofeng say this: "Doesn't that mean that the era of safe nuclear energy will really be in the future?"

"Of course!" Xu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Otherwise, what do you think we are doing to bring this asteroid back at such a high price? If it is an ordinary iron meteorite or a stony meteorite, there is no need at all!" Here, Xu Xiaofeng said proudly: "This is only a part! There are not only energy catalysts and special metals in this meteorite, but also some other substances, all of which are very good materials. Some things have special properties when used in space flight. As a result, after all, the resources on our earth are limited, and many materials have certain limitations, but these wandering stars in space are full of personality and very easy to use!"

"I feel more and more that our Boss Lin is a bit mysterious!" Liu Gang said mysteriously: "The things so far away are the things that Lao Mei discovered first. He knows what treasures are on it, and he can create such an advanced space. The Space Shuttle and the space station can smoothly put this thing in space and use it, it's really amazing!"

"Don't be silly!" Xu Xiaofeng patted him: "If you have such a thought, why not take a look at how many alloys and catalysts are initially processed in the warehouse? After a while, the Donghuang aerospace plane will come over. Dozens of tons, the utilization rate of this 'Naughty Boy' is extremely high, and it will take at least four or five days to finish the transportation, and Mr. Lin's construction is already speeding up, we can't let him lose the chain!"

"Don't worry!" Liu Gang turned around and walked back and said, "This space station is so advanced, and all the data is reflected here. There are already more than 70 tons in the warehouse, and it is no problem to transport it away. Donghuang is still flying fast. Otherwise, these resources that are initially processed will also be a big burden on the space station!"

Just as he was talking, an aerospace plane quickly flew up, and under the control of the computer program, it docked steadily with the space station, and then a group of mechanical octopuses immediately began to carry materials from the cargo hold.

Xu Xiaofeng applied for it on his own initiative. Because of the application of a large number of advanced technologies, the current space station does not require a lot of training like before, but also requires a large number of personnel to choose.It is no exaggeration for the former astronauts to say that they are a million miles, but now the conditions and standards have been greatly reduced.

Xu Xiaofeng knew that Changying Group, or Lin Dong in other words, had opened up an era of spaceflight for all people—at least in terms of personnel selection.

"Liu Gang, you stay here, I'll go down and have a look!" Xu Xiaofeng said to Liu Gang through the communication system, "Go and see how Mr. Lin is doing."

"Then hurry up, I'll go down and have a look when you come back!"

"it is good!"

After talking to Liu Gang, Xu Xiaofeng put on his space suit and entered the aerospace plane after passing through special doors.

This aerospace plane is specially made, the original crew compartment is greatly reduced, and more space is used as cargo compartment.

There was no one in the command room, and there was no mechanical octopus. After entering, Xu Xiaofeng fixed himself in the driver's seat and waited for the aerospace plane to leave.

Filled with cargo, the aerospace plane quickly separated from the space station under the control of the intelligent program, circled in space, and then quickly flew to the earth.

Xu Xiaofeng turned his head and saw that the naughty boy had become bumpy like an apple gnawed by a child, and his size had shrunk several times. He no longer had the same appearance as before.

Xu Xiaofeng knew that in a few days, this "naughty boy" would turn into tens of millions and exist in another form.

This kind of action, I didn't even dare to think about it before, but now it is realized little by little in front of me.

Although "swallowing" a planet is just an asteroid, it is already an epoch-making act!
