In the quiet dark starry sky, there was an occasional glimmer of light, breaking the silence of hundreds of millions of years.

That's right, it's the mining or exploration ship of the major companies.

The first choice of space companies is definitely the starry sky close to the space factory, and there are some asteroids here that can be observed by the starry sky telescope on the aqua blue star, which is the preferred target among the first choices.

The first batch of 220 spaceships, of which only 40 were mining spaceships, were now distributed in this vast starry sky, and it was basically difficult to see one for a long time.

One of the mining ships named the Miracle.

"Dididi~~~"

"Look, the probe has responded, and we've reached target number one. The officer on duty in the spacecraft shouted loudly.

The starry sky is too wide, plus these are all a generation of spaceships, and in order to save fuel, it is impossible to accelerate all the time, so every time you go out, it is basically a matter of a month, which is normal.

Even if you go out to sea to fish, sometimes you go once a month.

"What? Here, quick, Kim, wake up the ship, turn on the working mode, immediately turn on the metal spectrometer, and analyze the metal composition of Target One. The captain of the mining spaceship hurriedly got up and commanded loudly.

The Miracle is a large mining spaceship, which can carry twenty-four people, and uses the advanced technology of the New Tang Empire, the ship has gravity and air circulation system inside.

As long as the people inside do not leave the ship, then it is no different from staying at home, and only when leaving the ship do they need to wear special spacesuits.

Moreover, the spacecraft has two modes: dormant mode and working mode, the dormant mode is to turn off all unnecessary functions to save the spacecraft's energy, and the working mode is the normal operation mode.

Xiao Jin is also on his first space voyage, and he is very excited at the moment: "Okay, Captain, I've opened it." ”

Now that they have arrived at their destination, everyone began to sit at their posts and perform their duties.

At the same time, everyone is also praying in their hearts that this target is a valuable asteroid and not some ordinary rocky planet, in which case, they will go to the second target even further.

"Miracle, what is the result of the analysis of the metal spectrometer on the No. 1 target?" Captain Zhang Yuming asked the ship's artificial intelligence.

Miracle is the name of this artificial intelligence.

The AI miracle replied: "Reply to the captain, according to the analysis of the Metal Spectrometer on the target asteroid No. 1, this is a rocky asteroid composed of three main metals: iron, copper, and nickel, of which the content of iron accounts for 7%, the content of copper accounts for 3%, the content of nickel accounts for 1%, and the rest is mainly rock, and the total metal content accounts for 11%. ”

"The 1 target asteroid is about 450 meters in diameter, has a high metal content, and an average density of about 3.9 grams per cubic centimeter. The Miracle of Artificial Intelligence evaluation suggests.

This is a very useful feature of artificial intelligence, which will give the best mining recommendations according to the specific situation of the spacecraft, and can also be connected to the latest price list big data of the Imperial Space Department to analyze the value of the corresponding asteroid.

"Yay~~, it's really good, I didn't expect us to go so smoothly for the first time, this time we made a fortune, and we have to get a soft hand just for the bonus." Xiao Jin said excitedly.

Captain Zhang Yuming and the rest of the crew are also very excited, they come to space to adventure, away from their families, and their lives are in danger, in addition to space dreams, isn't it for wealth.

"Okay, don't get carried away, we're still in space now, and when we drag Asteroid No. 1 back to the space factory of the New Tang Empire, this money will really be ours, and it's a little early to be happy. As a captain, you have to keep your head level and not get carried away by joy, so he poured cold water on the crew.

As soon as everyone hears it, too, if you don't drag this asteroid back, then it still belongs to space, and it has nothing to do with them, only if it is safely dragged back to the space factory and sold, then the money is real.

After calming down, everyone began to work in their own positions.

"Now, I order, network asteroid one. Zhang Yuming ordered in an orderly manner.

After three days of hard work, the spacecraft finally completed the netting operation and safely weaved the asteroid No. 1 into its own net.

"Okay, listen to my orders, install thrusters on asteroid one. Zhang Yuming continued to command.

The asteroid is running well in its original orbit, and in order to get it out of the original gravitational force and pull it out of the established orbit, it is necessary to give the asteroid an additional power, which is the role of the thruster.

Under the action of the thruster, the asteroid shook, and then the spacecraft used the resonant force to pull the asteroid out of its original orbit at once.

If it is a human being, it is a bit difficult to operate, and it may fail many times before it can succeed once.

After the asteroid No. 1 was successfully pulled out of orbit, the spacecraft began to slowly accelerate away with the asteroid and headed straight for the space factory of the New Tang Empire.

If you do this, you will basically succeed ninety percent, only the last step will slow down, but it will not be difficult for the mining spacecraft, as long as it does not collide with other ships or meteorites halfway, it is basically 100% successful.

"Oh~~, we succeeded, Captain, how much money can we get on this voyage?" asked Xiao Jin excitedly.

Captain Zhang Yuming has also put his mind at ease at this time, and the next thing is the process of going home, this is a matter of time, just idle, plus happy, he is also happy to answer this question.

However, if you want to say how much money you can share, Zhang Yuming is really a little unclear:

"Hahaha, Xiaojin, you're embarrassing me, I only know that every time we sail, if there is a harvest, our entire fleet will get 10% of the income, and then divide this money according to our contribution and crew level, if there is no harvest, you can only get a dead salary, and even if you don't have a harvest, you may be discharged. ”

"And how much money can we make with Asteroid No. 1 this time?" asked Xiao Jin.

"According to the evaluation of miracles, this is a third-level resource asteroid, which should be worth a lot of money, miracles, please estimate the current value of asteroid No. 1. "Zhang Yuming, as the captain of the ship, has this consulting power.

The artificial intelligence miracle replied: "Reply to the captain, this asteroid is worth about 61.8 billion Tang Yuan. ”

"The specific analysis is as follows, the diameter of the asteroid is 450 meters, the average density is 3.9 grams / cubic centimeter, according to the formula for calculating the mass of the sphere: 4/3 * ∏ * R * R * R * density, the mass of the asteroid is about 186 million tons, of which the valuable iron is 13 million tons, copper 0.0558 tons, nickel 0.0186 tons. ”

"The basic materials iron, copper, and nickel have depreciated sharply due to too many stars in the sky, and this is an ore that needs to be smelted, so the latest purchase price of iron is 352 Tang Yuan/ton, the latest purchase price of copper is 7521 Tang Yuan/ton, and the latest purchase price of nickel is 9102 Tang Yuan/ton. ”

After listening to the explanation of the miracle of artificial intelligence, everyone was excited, and even Zhang Yuming was not calm.
