Chapter 383: Capturing an Asteroid

The first phase of the space city is based on the micro space city at the top of the ladder for external expansion, and it is expected that the area of a single floor after completion is about 500 square kilometers, with a total of four floors, which means that the total area of the first phase of the space city is about 2,000 square kilometers.

You must know that this is in space, it is definitely one of the largest super projects in human history, and in order to prevent the space city from falling down due to gravity or being captured by other planets, it is loaded with an anti-gravity module, which is open twenty-four hours a day.

At the same time, there is artificial intelligence to monitor the entire space city, once there is a problem, the artificial intelligence will immediately alarm, and then the logistics staff can go to repair it by themselves or operate robots.

This is only the first phase, mainly to add more spaceports, and it can be said that the first phase of the space city is not so much a space city as a giant integrated spaceport.

In the future, the real space city will only be a single layer, with virtual blue sky and white clouds, and even the sea, etc., all in order to make human beings better survive.

It's a pity that there aren't that many people living in it now.

There is also the fact that this space city is no longer subordinate to the Starry Sky Road, but belongs to the New Tang Empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Feng Ping said.

"Your Majesty, Shen Shangshu of the Ministry of Aerospace asks to see you. The female officer came in and spoke.

"It's really lively today, let him in. Li Quan said with a smile, and then said to Feng Ping: "Don't go back yet, maybe Shen Congwen's matter will be related to you." ”

"Wow. ”

"Minister Shen Congwen see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live. Shen Congwen glanced at Feng Ping, and then said to His Majesty.

"I've seen Jisuke-sama. ”

"Shen Shangshu is polite. ”

"Shen Congwen, you are in such a hurry to find me, and your face is full of joy, but what good news do you want to tell me. Li Quan looked at Shen Congwen and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister does have good news, and it is great news, our exploration team has been exploring the near-Earth asteroids we have discovered, in the past six months, a total of twenty-six have been explored, most of them are rocky planets, there is not much value, but there are still eleven valuable asteroids, and today's good news is that the exploration team has found an asteroid with a diameter of more than 100 meters, this asteroid actually contains more than 80% of the No. 1 mysterious element. ”

Feng Ping looked at Shen Congwen with a surprised expression.

This is really awesome, this is the No. 1 mysterious element, it was provided by His Majesty before, and I don't know where it came from, but this element has never been found on the water blue star until now.

The No. 1 Mystic Element is an indispensable element for making ladders, spaceships, and mechas, and so on, although it is not impossible to say that it can't be done without it, but after adding the No. 1 Mystic Element, the performance of the things created is at least three times higher, which is terrifying.

Especially for future space battleships and so on, if there is a No. 1 mysterious element, the combat effectiveness is a big difference.

The key is that the No. 1 mysterious element consumed by the entire ladder construction before was only less than five hundred grams, and these were also provided by His Majesty the City, and what was discovered this time was an asteroid that directly reached more than 100 meters, and it also had 80% of the No. 1 mysterious element.

Can this not be a surprise, these elements can be used by the empire for at least ten years.

"What, there is actually a mysterious element No. 1 in the near-Earth asteroid, yes, there is a water blue star, how can there be no space there, this is really the biggest good news of the year. Li Quan said happily, and then hurriedly cared:

"What about the asteroid, it's been shipped back, or is it located?"

Only what is really in your hands is your own, if there is an accident halfway, it is empty joy.

The No. 1 mysterious elements before him were all obtained from the inner world, and there were quite a few there, but they were not open to the public, so they didn't know about Feng Ping.

"Back to Your Majesty, they have dragged the asteroid back, and it is currently in the spaceport. Shen Congwen said excitedly.

"Okay, immediately arrange for the robot to cut the asteroid, bring it back, pay attention to the debris, you know the preciousness of the mysterious element of One, don't waste a gram on me. Li Quan instructed.

"Yes, the minister will arrange it. Shen Congwen said excitedly.

"Wait, pay attention to the secrecy work, this time the exploration team that discovered the No. 1 mysterious element and brought it back will be rewarded, rewarding their team with a total of 50,000 merit points, and a total bonus of 5 billion Tang Yuan, which will be distributed according to their contributions. ”

"Reward you with five thousand merit points. "Li Quan is very generous this time.

You must know that the value of the No. 1 mysterious element brought back is far more than the reward he gave.

A team of about ten people, on average, each person's income is still very considerable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Shen Congwen said excitedly, with these five thousand points, he is not far from ten thousand points.

"Congratulations, Lord Shen. Feng Ping said happily, but there was no jealousy.

Because even if he wants to be jealous, Shen Congwen is jealous of him, Feng Ping is in charge of the research institute, and he is the person who has won the most merit points among all officials in the country, how can he be jealous of others.

"I didn't expect that there would be a mysterious element No. 1 in the near-Earth asteroid, so I can't keep it, there may still exist in this vicinity, after all, collisions between asteroids happen from time to time. Li Quan said.

"In this way, the spaceship factory will prioritize the production of exploration and mining spacecraft, and then explore near-Earth asteroids on a large scale, and mark the detailed map of each asteroid, so as to establish a complete map of the resource distribution of the near-Earth star, and then the mining spacecraft will prioritize mining the most precious resources to bring back. "Li Quan changed his previous policy because of the stimulation of the No. 1 mysterious element.

"Yes, the minister knows what to do, and he must cooperate with Lord Shen. "Seal the parallel salute as a way.

"The minister will definitely find out the situation of all the surrounding asteroids for His Majesty as soon as possible, and live up to His Majesty's high expectations. Shen Congwen expressed his determination.

"Okay, then you go down and deal with it as soon as possible, I am waiting for your good news, and I will give you a reward at the court meeting when the time comes. Li Quan encouraged.

Clear rewards and punishments are the way to be kings.

The entire universe is full of asteroids, but most of them are in dark areas and cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Take the solar system as an example, everyone knows that there are nine planets, and this is true, but in fact, the number of planets in the solar system is hundreds of millions, but some meteorites are too small.

There are also satellites around the planets, and there are still satellites around the satellites, which is the effect of gravity.

Aquamarine's moon is the moon, so aren't there any other asteroids around Aquamarine?

No, there are many of them.

Around Aqua Blue Star, human beings have discovered about 19,500 near-Earth asteroids, and about 500 of them have a diameter of more than 1KM, remember, this is only what has been discovered, and we humans know very little about Aqua Blue Star itself, most of the seabed is unknown, not to mention deep space.

According to the preliminary estimates of scientists, the number of asteroids with a diameter of more than 1KM in the starry sky around Aqua Blue Star is estimated to be in the thousands, at least 2,000 are certain, and only a lot more.
