A lot of troubles in Lanxing kept Huang Mingzhe and others busy.

In the 240,000-kilometer blue star orbit, Huo Quzhi is anchored next to a metallic asteroid, and is inseparable from the asteroid through synchronous companionship mode.

Luo Feng, who had just finished dinner, was floating in the cockpit.

"Lao Wang, how much have you collected?"

Wang Gangsheng, the deputy captain of the ship, raised his head and replied: "76.5 tons have been mined, which would have been developed in the Common Era." ”

Luo Feng glanced at the data: "It's almost full, nanobot mining is powerful, not only is it fast, but the purity of mining is more than 99%." ”

"Then it doesn't need to be said, captain, you look at the equipment, I'll eat first." Wang Gangsheng floated up from his seat and swam to the back.

"Leave it to me."

Luo Feng sat in his seat, and in front of him was a dazzling row of control dashboards, large and small buttons and data, for ordinary people, without a few years of training, there is no way to use it proficiently.

New humans are more convenient, they can directly download the "Huo Qu Disease-level Spaceship Piloting Skill", and with the assistance of biological computers, they can be very proficient in a few days.

In the Common Era, it took several years for a qualified astronaut to train, and an astronaut or space warrior in the new era only needed a few days to put into work, which is the gap.

On the dashboard, one of the compartment reserves is shown to be [Iridium: 76.5...... ton], the decimal point behind it is constantly jumping, indicating that the nanobots are collecting iridium inside the asteroid.

Iridium is one of the rarest elements in the Blue Star crust, with an average mass ratio of only 0.001 parts per million.

And our common gold is 40 times more abundant than iridium, 10 times more platinum, and 80 times more abundant than silver and mercury.

Tellurium is similar in abundance to iridium, and only three other stable elements are rarer than iridium: rhenium, ruthenium, and rhodium, the latter two of which are one-tenth the abundance of iridium.

In contrast, the content of iridium in asteroids is much higher, generally above 0.5 parts per million, especially on metallic asteroids, and the storage content will be even higher.

Iridium is generally platinum-osmium-iridium associated ore on the blue star, but in fact, the iridium content in the core of the blue star is not a few, and the problem is that it is difficult to mine.

The asteroid that Luo Feng and the others are mining has about 80,000 tons of iridium in storage, and the total amount of iridium that Blue Star has ever mined is not more than a fraction of this reserve.

Therefore, Wang Gangsheng said that in the era of A.D., the 80,000 tons of iridium element was a huge wealth.

Of course, for the new humanity of the new era, these iridium elements are still an important resource, and although there is no real private enterprise now, these things will still circulate into social production.

……

Drip!

Well? There was a notice, and as soon as Luo Feng heard this voice, he knew that there was a communication coming.

"The report, the Australian Command sent a notice asking us to complete the collection of minerals and immediately return to the new Wenchang Satellite City in low earth orbit."

"The reply has been received, and it is expected to return in about 5 hours and 24 minutes."

"Yes."

At this time, the compartment reserve has risen to 77.2 tons.

The available storage load of Huo Qu's disease grade is 246 tons, of which 30 tons of food, fresh water and daily necessities are occupied; 20 Nano Defenders (Cosmos model), occupying 180 tons; The remaining 36 tons are flexible payloads.

This time, Huo Qu was emptying half of the Nano Defenders, from enough to scrape together 100 tons of available payload.

After 5 hours and 24 minutes.

The Iridium Element Reserve in the cabin reached the upper limit of 100 tons, and Huo Qubing started the nuclear fusion engine and returned to the new Wenchang Satellite City in Blue Star Low Earth Orbit.

Because it is returning to the Blue Star low earth orbit, the speed of Huo Quzhi is not too fast, only reaching about 10 kilometers per second, and the flight orbit is not flying straight to the new Wenchang satellite city, but using the most fuel-efficient large ring orbit method.

Seven hours later, Huo Qubing finally reached the vicinity of 1,500 kilometers in low earth orbit, where the new Wenchang Satellite City is in an orbital area.

After braking, Huo Qu's sick slowly moored on one side, and Luo Feng watched the new Wenchang Satellite City through the lookout window.

Compared with half a month ago, the scale of the current Xinwenchang Satellite City has expanded more than ten times, and the weight has reached about 3,500 tons, which is about 6 times the volume of Huo Quzhi.

The staff of the satellite city pulled down the 100 tons of iridium in storage, and then replenished the Huo Quzhi with nuclear fuel, daily necessities and fresh water.

The Blue Moon Command of the Space Force is temporarily set up in the new Wenchang Satellite City, and the reason why it is temporary is because the Blue Moon Command of the Space Force is planned to be set up on the moon, and it is just a temporary office space.

Luo Feng and Deputy Captain Wang Gangsheng went to the temporary office of the Space Force together.

Floating in a traffic tube with nanobots inside it that can safely and accurately propel astronauts to their designated chambers.

The upper third of the traffic duct is made of high-strength transparent material, and a part of the satellite city and the starry sky can be seen.

At this time, many small spaceships are coming in and out of the satellite city port, these small spaceships are space junk recovery spacecraft, using nanorobots to decompose space junk, and then pull back to the new Wenchang satellite city for processing.

Before the great escape of the HRE Federation and the Templar of Judah, hundreds of large and medium-sized launch vehicles and spacecraft were left in low-earth orbit and medium-high orbit, as well as the scrapped near-Earth space port of the Illuminati, for the sake of future safety issues, these space junk must be disposed of as soon as possible.

The cannon was cool for a while, and the ending was two lines of tears.

After dealing with it for more than half a month, the new Wenchang Satellite City has cleaned up less than one-fifth of the large wreckage, and as for those small fragments, they can only be decomposed using gamma rays.

……

Pushed all the way to the makeshift office of the Space Force by nanobots.

The commander of the Blue Moon Command of the Space Force was a middle-aged man, with a slight hint of majesty in his square face, and he took off his brainwave glasses.

"Luo Feng, Hong Kong Sheng, you came at the right time, there is a task above."

"Commander Long, please." Luo Feng saluted and said.

Long Limin handed a virtual document to Luo Feng: "This is the transfer notice and the lunar intelligence summary package. ”

Luo Feng received the notice, and it turned out that he was transferred to serve as the commander of the lunar detachment and the base commander of the lunar defense base.

Loading the Lunar Intelligence Digest into his biocomputer, he learned the details of the current situation on the Moon.

Long Limin continued: "By the way, the newly commissioned Huo Guang, you can take it to the moon together." ”

"Okay."

At present, there are only Wei Qing, Li Guang and Jin Ilpan, which are about to enter service in the Blue Star fleet.

"One more thing, considering that the gamma rays are restrained by the anti-γ gel, the ground will send a batch of Jing Ke missiles over the day after tomorrow."

"Jing Ke missiles? New?" Luo Feng asked with interest.

Long Limin explained: "It was modified half a month ago, using a nuclear fusion direct injection engine, weighing about 2.4 tons, and a warship is equipped with 20, saving a little use." ”

"No problem." Luo Feng nodded.

This time, in addition to building a lunar defense base and a lunar fleet, they have one more task.

It is responsible for clearing the Keton Star base located in the 930,000-kilometer orbit of the Blue Star and completely clearing the Blue Moon System. [Note: The orbital extent of the Blue Star is approximately 1.5 million kilometers in radius.] ］

The newly formed Moon Fleet is preparing to march to the Moon.
