Osborne Megacorp

Asteroid mining technology is almost two years old.

The cost of this technology is still very high, at least it has few advantages compared with underground mining.

However, the advantage of asteroid mining is not just "collecting ore". The key is that the microgravity environment is very suitable for building super-large smelting furnaces. Sufficient solar energy further reduces energy costs.

In other words, the subsequent technology tree corresponding to this technology should be "Space Factory".

The current smelting furnace built by Osborne's asteroid mining technology is not large enough, only [-] tons, and cannot give full play to the advantages of asteroid mining.

However, Oyce has been coordinating the automated asteroid mining base and the microgravity research laboratory in the space station to improve this, and now they have given out the design drawings of the second-generation asteroid smelting furnace.

Taking full advantage of the fact that outer space construction does not need to consider gravity, wind and other factors, and using second-generation alloys and building materials that combine Chitauri materials and dark elf materials, the scale of the entire smelting furnace is quite exaggerated.

Among them, the largest design exceeds 5000 meters in height and covers an area almost the same as Stark Industrial Park.

The lowest smelting efficiency of this generation of smelting furnaces has reached the level of tens of millions of tons. In the future, more advanced materials will be needed to support it.

The resources stored on Spirit Planet are enough to build two factories of this level. Once the factory is proven feasible, the "mine boss" will truly become history, and "precious metals" will no longer be precious metals.

Harry was finally able to turn what he promised on Norman's oath of office into reality: the endless resources of space are waving to them.

According to the United Nations Space Resources Development Agency's contract, one of the smelting furnaces is owned by the United Nations, and the other is Osborne's free property.

There are also some scraps that will be used to build a robot factory on the Spirit Planet, which will self-expand under the control of Ois and invest in factory construction.

Selecting the best structures and construction from several designs, Harry settled on the design of the factory that would eventually be built on Psyche.

There are some differences between those used by the Osborne Group and those used by the United Nations. The main reason is that the part used to fill the anti-vibration gold core is vacant. Once filled with anti-vibration gold, these equipments become billion-ton smelting furnaces.

And due to the characteristics of anti-vibration gold, Osborne Group's smelting furnace can smelt all types of metals without changing the production line process, and then directly process them into the required alloys. It is very flexible and extremely efficient.

After confirming the design, Harry turned on the real-time monitoring of the Psyche Planet. The AR architectural drawing was generated on the surface of the Psyche Planet. The operation process was like taking a picture of a building on the ground when playing an RTS game.

"Construction orders are being implemented and construction is expected to be completed in 30 Earth days."

Automatic robots sprang out under the control of Ois, and there were busy construction robots on the surface of the desolate asteroid.

Harry has added a psychic organ to Oyce's central processor, and now it can also use the psychic network for long-distance communication. In a sense, it is almost like playing a game.

"How does it feel to use the psychic network?" Harry was a little curious about Oyce's feelings about the psychic network.

"Very good, sir. I can sense there are others in this network."

Harry rubbed his chin. Oyce was talking about some soldiers using the virtual reality chamber.

The virtual reality cabins are also divided into different levels. Only cabins approved by Harry will be equipped with psionic modules and connected to the psionic network.

Holding the Psychic Scepter in hand, Harry can do many things in the psychic network, and he also has the highest authority in the network.

On the other hand, at present, this kind of access has little impact on users, and almost no changes can be seen. Unsurprisingly, this will become a universal method of super-light communication on the earth.

"If you're interested, you can check out other places on the network. You'll be using this network often in the future."

"I found that I can feel emotions more intuitively from the psychic network. I am very interested in this, thank you." Oyce's voice brought a hint of joy, like a child who has been given permission to access the Internet.

So Harry subconsciously warned: "Pay attention to rest."

After arranging the project plan, Harry held in his hand a "dog-headed platinum" projection located more than 3 million kilometers away. This is a specialty of the Spirit Star. This kind of material has not been found on earth, and at most it has only been seen with dog-headed platinum.

After more than a year of mining and exploration, Osborne researchers have determined that this asteroid belongs to the core remnant of a larger star and is quite rich in resources.

Not only that, since Psyche has been confirmed to be involved in the core of a larger star, it is expected that there will be other similar asteroids in orbit, which means that there are more such rich space minerals in the asteroid belt field.

On the other hand, it's also an opportunity to study the planet's core.

As Harry said, the metal resources contained in Psyche are enough to completely change the economic system on Earth, so now is the time to inform countries to carry out the next step of system reform.

The holographic conference was connected, and the images of representatives from various countries appeared in the conference room.

"Good afternoon, everyone, this meeting mainly wants to discuss two things with you:

The first thing: Japan Island has completely become a United Nations trusteeship area, rescue is being carried out in an orderly manner, geological activities are estimated to begin to weaken in 30 days, and casualties are currently under control. "

In just one week, the number of confirmed deaths has exceeded 10. Fortunately, the situation is under control.

The evacuation curve shows that more than 90% of the evacuation will be completed within this year, which is very efficient.

Everyone nodded and didn't have much objection to this.

"The second thing." Harry projected a platinum dog's head.

"We have confirmed that Lingshen Planet is a remnant of the planet's core, and more than 95% of it is made of metal elements. The construction of the first 30-million-ton smelting plant is expected to be completed in [-] days--

Folks, we got rich, look at this shiny 'dog head platinum'. "

Compared to the former news, they are more interested in the latter news - force that spans the ages will make people worried, but the development of production technology that spans the ages is exciting.

Nuclear fusion has allowed mankind to take the first step towards a new world in terms of energy, and now they have taken the second step: unlimited space resources are beckoning to them.

"This is an exciting step, Mr. Osborne, congratulations."

Harry smiled. This was of course an exciting step: "Congratulations should be given to all mankind. Forget about the previous disputes. It's time for us to enter the next era."

In order to meet these resources, they need a new social transaction system, which is the main purpose of this conference.

"Let's start discussing the rules for the next era."
