Earth Invasion

Chapter 111 Bonus
What kind of bonus is the biggest?Some say it's stocks, some say it's funds, and some say it's futures.But Li Chiqi said that the dividends of war are the greatest.

His frigate "Yu" is waiting in the air port of the "Zhang Heng" star to depart for Assyria.On the schedule of the accelerator, a bunch of ships going to Assyria are waiting in line.Li Chiqi couldn't help laughing at this spectacular sight. These guys who headed for Assyria with all kinds of ships resembled the explorers who used a small wooden sailboat in the age of great voyages to go to the New World or the East to make a fortune.I really think of Assyria as an America full of gold.

Immortals from all walks of life show their special abilities, not for a word, money!Looking at the prices of various metal deposits in the financial market, especially the prices of rare metals and heavy metals, you can see what kind of mentality these gangsters are going to Assyria.

On the display screen in the bridge, D. S. The country representative of A, Ms. Teresa, is talking about what just happened on the Assyrian planet.She is completely pinning everything that happened in San Antquis, the capital of the Sifah dynasty, to NATO's head, and she has taken off the space circle, just like opening in San Antquis It's the same as killing ring horses in the space circle.

"Li, what do you think this is doing? Isn't the basic attribute of a political figure full of lies?" A white man floated in from the door and threw a can of beer to Li Chiqi.

"Because we need to guess the real meaning behind the lies. Don't forget that our trip is closely related to the space circle and NATO." Li Chiqi opened the lid and took a big breath. "In addition, you are from NATO to space. Circle, and then come from the space circle, catch up with Lu Bu, David."

"Lu Bu is a hero, I love him to death." The white man named David raised his eyebrows. He bent his arms and showed Li Chiqi the strong muscles he had accumulated during his college basketball career.

"Go to hell, you gay!" The pulsating muscles made Li Chi ride a black line on his head. Although this guy named David Lee is not gay, he will always do some disgusting things. Gay action.On the contrary, during the two years that Li Chiqi has worked with him, he has at least met his lovers in double digits.After the itinerary to Assyria was set, the clown traveled half the world to get rid of his lovers' entanglement.

"However, Li, what is the specific mission of our trip? You know, when I was traveling around the world, uh, it was not very convenient. I haven't read the email you sent me." David Lee's drink With the beer in his hand, the big American couldn't see the slightest bit of embarrassment about running here without looking at the mission. If he thought about it again, he would only talk about it when the boat was sailing. Must smoke.

But Li Chiqi understood this guy's character, so he wouldn't argue with him.

"First of all, we need to be a passenger ship and go to the Assyrian planet to bring back some people." Li Chiqi turned off the news on the monitor and called up an agreement.

"You should know the agreement we signed with the Assyrians."

"The labor agreement? Of course I know. But Li, the Sifah dynasty is gone, and there are no princesses and kings left. Does the agreement you signed still work?" David shrugged his shoulders like an American, ah no, he American in itself.

"Why doesn't it work?" Li Chiqi sneered, "David, Sifah's spiritual pillar has been interrupted, maybe you think this nation is dead. But we don't think so, destruction also means new life. In our opinion, the Assyrians at this time truly possessed the characteristics of modern people—no longer the vassals of the king. In addition, our institutions in the Assyrians also sent confirmation that the Assyrians reached the Assyrians first. Volunteers and Her Royal Highness the former Last Princess have escaped from St. Antquis, and their whereabouts are unknown. However, from the monitoring of Assyrian underground broadcasts during this period, it can be basically confirmed that a group of Assyrians have already understood The meaning of their king is a kind of awakening."

"Then the awakened people can understand the connotation of your labor agreement? Or, only the awakened people can be willing to serve you as cows and horses? God, you are too bad." David Lee said with a smile.

"This is Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai. If you beat him, you are willing to fight, if you suffer, you are willing to suffer. But, we are full of integrity, and we will definitely not do things that break our promises and get fat."

After the two guys finished their daily bickering, David Lee finally pulled back Fei's thoughts that were everywhere, and he finally asked a serious question.

"Lee, what the hell is going on with these guys ahead of us? Is Assyria fun?"

"Not at all, but I can tell you clearly that not only Kuafu is here, but also in the L[-] and synchronous orbits, the accelerators of the space circle and NATO are also lining up, and the accelerator construction of NATO at L[-] is in line with the space circle. The L[-] accelerator expansion project is also speeding up. We will soon see the second Assyrian development frenzy."

"Why?" David Lee looked puzzled.

"Okay, okay, it's impossible to expect you, a guy who thinks about women and alcohol in addition to basketball, to figure out such a complicated economic issue. Come on, let me explain it to you, so that people won't say that I'm lying to innocent people." People are cannon fodder!" Li Chiqi was finally crushed by his friend, he resignedly called up a graph, and began to explain it carefully to David Lee.

What does it take for a region to prosper?Or what does it take to attract developers?First, this region has commodity output, and second, the commodity in this region is in demand by customers, and third, there is no more powerful output to compete with it.As long as there are these three points, then this area will be a super gold-absorbing machine.

Before the SCO developed Jupiter, the Assyrian planet had the first two points, but the third point faced strong competition from the SCO in the asteroid belt.

On the basis of minerals, one of the great advantages of the Assyrian planet is that this is a planet, and the discovery of mineral veins only needs to be circled by remote sensing satellites, and then artificial seismic detection is carried out at the place where the mineral veins are confirmed to determine the thickness of the mineral veins. .Then take the core, confirm the ore grade, and finally mine.This is a one-stop process.In addition, for the high-value-added heavy metal veins and rare metal veins, the grade on the Assyrian planet is very high, and there are few associated minerals, which are very suitable for mining.

But the disadvantage is that the earth is too far away from here, and the minerals mined need to climb gravity wells, and a lot of resources are wasted here.In addition, NATO and the space circle have been reluctant to invest in infrastructure construction here, and the mined ore can only undergo preliminary screening and preliminary refining, and then needs to be sent back to the earth before it can be refined.The good thing is that mining these minerals doesn't require a strong industrial base.

The asteroid belt is different.The biggest advantage is that it is close, and there is no need to climb the gravity well, and it can be thrown back to the earth directly by the planetary slingshot.

However, there is a very big trouble with the asteroid belt, that is, it is very troublesome to choose a suitable asteroid.

On the star map that has been reduced by an unknown number of times, the asteroid belt is a dense pile.But when you fly close, you will find that the star belt is actually very sparse.In the asteroid orbit between Jupiter and Mars, you may not be able to see an asteroid if you light up the propulsion array and fly for several days, and even if you see it, you don’t know whether the asteroid will can be mined.

First, you'll spectroscopically analyze the asteroid to see if it contains mineral deposits.Second, you need to use an industrial ship to go up, and then release the engineering robot to conduct preliminary mining on it, and then conduct ore refining to confirm the grade of the mineral.Many asteroids are abandoned after completing these two steps.Not every asteroid is worth developing.

After completing these two steps, many small mining companies or explorers have already run out of pocket, so they either go back in such a desperate way and go bankrupt, or they mine a piece of silicate stone, so that they can still recover. I have some food left over.Therefore, asteroid mining is not a wonderful job.

If you are lucky and this is an asteroid worth digging, then there are more troublesome things waiting behind.You must record the position and orbit of the asteroid, describe the asteroid, send the description information to the International Asteroid Recording Center, and pay a fee, then this small asteroid belongs to you.In the databases of SCO, NATO, and the space circle, information that is already under development will be marked here.

All that remains is to mine the asteroid into cheese.Of course, this is not an easy task.Most mine owners' spacecraft are like a mosquito landing on a watermelon near these asteroids.How could it be mined all at once?If you go back after mining a ship, and then come back next time, then please rest assured that the next time you come to this asteroid, you will not know who it is.In the vast space, law is a very illusory word, and an asteroid with traces of development is very sought-after.Wanting to occupy a watermelon is endless, and there is no way.

Therefore, either a very large mining company has enough force and enough mining ships to firmly hold the asteroid, and then more than a dozen mining ships rotate to mine.Or, form an alliance of companies and rotate mining.

Calculated in this way, if you are lucky and find enough asteroids to mine when you come up, then you will make money, but if you are unlucky and change several asteroids in a row, then the cost of mining will not be able to overwhelm those from Assyria. goods, even far exceeding.

This mining method is almost comparable to the method called "gambling stones" that the Chinese used to mine jadeite in Myanmar.

What's more, it needs to be refined in space.Many small companies simply couldn't afford refining industrial ships, so they had to sell primary ore and suffer another exploitation.

Of course, monsters like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization are not included in this list.The ultra-high efficiency of the Revolver-class star-breaking mining ship makes up for all these disadvantages.But there is only one ship in the SCO for something like a gyrator, and other countries can only stare blankly.

Therefore, asteroid mining is actually a high-input, high-risk, high-yield job.Therefore, many companies would rather go to Assyria to climb the gravity well than to gamble on luck under the SCO's gyratory competition.Moreover, under the direct competition of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the price of refined metals has not fluctuated much, and the ore deposits that climbed the gravity well in Assyria are just hard-earned money.

However, the SCO's Jupiter development plan has brought about a fundamental change in this matter.After a series of plans were announced, a large number of economic analysts have come to the conclusion that the SCO's metal supply should be shifted to satisfy the SCO's internal market, and they need to give priority to meeting the Jupiter plan.

Analysts have calculated that according to the scale of the Jupiter plan, the SCO will probably take away 23% of the supply of 50.00 industrial metals from the international market.Bismuth, neodymium, lithium and other superconducting metals need to be pumped out about 80.00%.

There must be a source of supply to make up for this super huge gap!Moreover, the price is negotiable!

In almost one day, the popularity within the Sili Star Clan increased several times.A large number of new industrial mining ships have been bought, and deposits for more ore refining ships have been transferred to the accounts of shipbuilding companies.

Next, this enthusiasm spread to the second-hand ship market. In the old ship market located on the lunar L[-], a decommissioned, well-maintained Saxon class with only the heavy particle cannon removed has been sold to a new ship. Half.The [-]H[-] class decommissioned by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is multi-purpose, so the price of the old ship is higher.About [-]% of the new ship.And the newer class [-], which has just begun to be retired, has been driven up to [-]% of the price of the new ship!In the words of the SCO staff responsible for disposing of decommissioned warships, these people are crazy!
Can't help but be crazy, in the international metal futures market, the price of selected ore is rising at a speed that can make people suffer from heart disease!In two days, the fob prices of 23 industrial ore futures tripled.A lot of money is pouring into this crazy market, and financial leverage makes more people make even crazier moves.

A week later, the crazy industrial ore futures market finally affected the civil fuel ore market.In the case of high expectations for the increase in the amount of industrial ore mining, a large number of economists have made predictions that the mining capacity of radioactive element fuels such as helium [-] and uranium [-] will be squeezed out, and the national energy price has suddenly risen!
Under this kind of madness, people's attention finally focused on the planet six thousand light-years away, which contained radioactive fuel elements and a large amount of industrial heavy metals.

A large number of companies have begun to covet this already troubled planet nakedly.

The climax of the corporate war is approaching.
