In fact, I also blame Tang Feng for this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Four asteroids rich in silver, copper, antimony, and rare earth metals were accidentally created in the asteroid belt, because Tang Fengguang was thinking about how to transport these four asteroids back, but he forgot to talk to Sam. Including yesterday, when Tang Feng persuaded Sam to agree to split the Tang Clan, Tang Feng also ignored this issue.

As a result, when it came time to actually break up, Sam didn't agree to split so many high-quality assets.

"That's right, man. But before I talk to you about it, I need to apologize to you. Because of my negligence, I didn't tell you about this in time, which led to your misunderstanding. ”

Obviously, Sam wasn't a stingy person, and he smiled and said, "Man, it doesn't matter if you apologize or not, we don't need that." All I want to know now is, did you really find four mineral-rich asteroids? ”

"Well, that's true. These four asteroids were discovered by accident in the asteroid belt, and in addition to these four asteroids, I have also discovered thousands of asteroids in the asteroid belt that contain various minerals of great value. If we can successfully transport these asteroids to the Earth's low earth orbit, then all other mineral resources can be discarded except for the energy mines under our name! ”

After a pause, Tang Feng took out his mobile phone and called up some of the photos taken inside, all of which were images of asteroids taken from a distance.

Tang Feng pointed to one of them and said, "This asteroid is the first asteroid I discovered, and I temporarily named it 'Asteroid A'. I estimated that if we could successfully drag this asteroid into Earth's low Earth orbit, we would get more than 10 billion tons of silver from this asteroid! ”

"Oh buy karma! To hear you say that, this thing is really exciting! Sam was a little excited. This guy can't see good things, and once he sees good things, his eyes will stick in them and he can't pull them out......

Tang Feng smiled and waved his hand and said: "Man, I have found no less than thirty such asteroids in the asteroid belt, and the mineral resources contained in each asteroid are at least calculated in the order of one billion tons, and if we can successfully pull these asteroids to the earth's low earth orbit, if we can calculate comprehensively, the mining cost will be even less than direct mining from the earth!" Man, you say, there are so many asteroids, why are we guarding those mines? ”

"Aha! Man, I really, really admire your vision! Indeed, with these asteroids, not to mention the Arica copper-gold mine and the St. Lawrence copper-gold mine, even if we give up all the mines in our current hands, we will still stand at the peak of the mining of the entire earth's civilization! No one can surpass ours! ”

After a pause, Sam said excitedly: "Man, since you have said it so thoroughly, then how to split the Tang Clan, you can take the idea, and I will be responsible for the implementation!" I guarantee that the finished one is beautiful! ”

Tang Feng looked at the excited Sam with a smile, shook his head and said, "Man, I'm sorry, although I have found about thirty asteroids with a maximum diameter of about thirty kilometers, but such a large asteroid is not something that our current technology can capture." To completely capture such a large asteroid, I estimate that we will have to wait at least ten years or more! ”

"Oh buy karma! Man, are you kidding me? Sam looked at Tang Feng with a constipated look.

Tang Feng laughed out loud, it's okay to tease Sam, it's really a pretty good game.

"Man, that's just the way it is. However, we can't capture the big asteroids, but we can't catch the smaller ones! For example, among the thousands of asteroids I have discovered, most of them are relatively small asteroids, and with the thruster technology we have so far, we can't control the big asteroids, but it is still not a big problem to control those asteroids with a maximum diameter of about one kilometer. Dr. Schmitz has given a definite answer to this point. ”

The excitement on Sam's face had already turned to bitterness, and he said dryly: "Man, although I don't know much about astronomy, I also know that an asteroid with a maximum diameter of about one kilometer is not even a fart compared to those asteroids with a maximum diameter of about thirty kilometers." If we go to great lengths to get an asteroid of this magnitude into Earth's low Earth orbit, will the cost of extraction be reduced? If the cost of mining can't be reduced, what's the use of spending that effort to build an asteroid of this magnitude? Why don't we continue to mine our own mines on Earth? ”

Sam was right. Space mining is also about the cost of mining. Unlike the ordinary mining industry, space mining does not require a variety of taxes, resource usage fees, and other fees, and space mining has almost no other costs other than exploration and transportation.

Therefore, although the cost of space mining and asteroid transportation are extremely expensive, if the asteroid contained enough mineral resources found, then the average mining cost of mining asteroids is even less than mining on Earth after being evenly diluted.

The key to this lies in the overall value and total reserves of the mineral resources contained in the asteroid.

Tang Feng smiled and said, "Man, you don't have to worry about this." If I dare to attack these asteroids, I am completely sure that we will not lose money. Man, I can tell you responsibly that even if I had to choose between those asteroids with a maximum diameter of only about 1 kilometer, then the mineral resources on them would be at least 100 million tons. You don't have to worry about our mining costs being too high! ”

Sam raised his head, looked at Tang Feng dryly, and finally sighed and said, "Okay man, who made you so amazing these past few years, so amazing that I can't find the right words to refute you." Since you have such confidence, then I believe in you, and I believe that you will definitely find a source of asteroid ore with larger reserves and lower mining costs for our Tang Clan! Okay then, now I agree with the spin-off you just proposed. ”

Tang Feng patted Sam on the shoulder and said, "Man, I thank you very much for your trust in me, and I also hope that you can continue to maintain this trust, because I can guarantee that I will not let you down in this trust!" (To be continued.) )
