Next to the Lingxiao space station, the "Naughty Boy" is being propelled by three aerospace planes and dozens of thrusters to orbit the Earth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

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

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

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

There are only a dozen staff members in the space station. Like the Donghuang aerospace aircraft, the imitation gravity system is installed, and the technicians can walk freely in the space station, without having to be in a weightless environment like other near-Earth aviation stars, and many experiments are very inconvenient to do.

Because the gravity-like system is not weightless, some of the characteristics of space will not be brought into play, but such an environment is more conducive to the use of resources on the "naughty boy" asteroid, and in several processing "workshops" on the space station, the low roar of the machine spreads in the artificial air environment.

Xu Xiaofeng was in the main control room of the space station, looking at the busy mechanical octopus outside through the large screen, adjusting the instructions 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 big screen and the small screen and said: "According to current estimates, 27 of the 34 thrusters will run out of energy within 10 days and will not be able to function. The remaining seven will also cease to function after fifteen to twenty days. ”

Xu Xiaofeng nodded slightly and said, "After all, this batch of thrusters was made in a temporary hurry. In fact, they have played their due role. You see, those mechanical octopuses, in fact, with their function, can be directly processed on the 'naughty boy', processing the resources on this asteroid into the alloy or metal we need. However, in order for Naughty Boy to be able to fly smoothly in orbit before the thrusters run 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 in metal materials.

"See?" Xu Xiaofeng pointed to one of the astral mechanical octopuses that was dragging a large piece, almost seven or eight tons, and said: "Just such a star, the alloy that can be processed can allow us to use the special steel plate material on the deck of the No. 17 aircraft carrier by two levels!" The catalysts that are separated from this can greatly increase the fuel utilization rate of the nuclear reactors we currently use, and with these catalysts, the nuclear reactors will hardly produce nuclear waste, and the energy generation will be more stable, and there will be almost no leakage like the Fukushima nuclear power plant. ”

"Really?" Although Liu Gang is a layman, he is still very sensitive to energy, and he was surprised when he heard Xu Xiaofeng say this: "Doesn't that mean that it will really become the era of safe nuclear energy in the future?" ”

"Of course!" Xu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Otherwise, what do you think we are doing to get this asteroid back at such a big price?" If it is an ordinary iron meteorite or a stony meteorite, there is no need at all! Speaking of this, Xu Xiaofeng said proudly: "This is only part of it!" There are not only energy catalysts and special metals in this meteorite, but also some other substances, which are very good materials, and some things have special effects when applied to space flight, after all, the resources on our earth are limited, and many materials have certain limitations. ”

"I feel more and more that our Mr. Lin is a little mysterious!" Liu Gang said mysteriously: "Such a distant thing, or something that Lao Mei discovered first, he knows what treasures are on it, and he can build such an advanced aerospace plane and space station to put this thing in space smoothly and use it, it's really amazing!" ”

"Don't be poor!" Xu Xiaofeng patted him: "With this thought, why don't you take a look at how many pre-processed alloys and catalysts are there in the warehouse?" After a while, the Donghuang Aerospace Plane will come over, at least dozens of tons will have to be transported, the utilization rate of this 'naughty boy' is extremely high, and it will take at least four or five days to complete the transportation in this way, and the construction of the project over there has been accelerated by Mr. Lin, so we can't drop the chain for him! ”

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

As he spoke, an aerospace plane flew up quickly, and under the control of a computer program, it docked with the space station steadily, and then a batch of mechanical octopuses immediately began to carry supplies from the cargo hold.

Xu Xiaofeng took the initiative to apply, because of the application of a large number of advanced technologies, the current space station does not require a lot of training as before, and it also needs a large number of personnel to choose. In the past, it was not an exaggeration for astronauts to say that they were selected from a million, but now the standard of conditions has been greatly reduced.

Xu Xiaofeng knows that the Changying Group, or Lin Dong, has ushered in an era of aerospace for all people -- at least in the selection of personnel.

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

"Good!"

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

The space plane was purpose-built to resemble it, with the original crew compartment greatly reduced and more space used as a cargo hold.

There was no one in the command room, and there was no mechanical octopus, and after Xu Xiaofeng entered, he fixed himself in the driver's seat and waited for the space plane to leave.

Loaded with cargo, the space plane quickly detached from the space station under the control of the intelligent program, circled in space for a while, and then quickly flew towards the earth.

Xu Xiaofeng turned his head and saw that the naughty boy had become pitted like an apple that had been gnawed by a child, and his size had shrunk several times, and he no longer had his previous appearance at all.

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

Such an action, which was unimaginable before, is now realized little by little in front of him.

"Devouring" the planet, although it is only an asteroid, is already an epoch-making act!
