Chapter 228, Huge Resource Requirements
In the space factory of the "Sky City", Li Fu accompanied Wang Aiguo to inspect the entire space factory, and explained in detail while leading the way.
"Our space factory is currently mainly used to produce Dumbo and Dumbo spacecraft, with ten large construction berths, which can build ten large spacecraft at the same time."
Li Fu took Wang Aiguo to look at the busy space factory in the void through the thick tempered glass, the space factory is a bit similar to a "concave" structure, and there is a Dumbo spaceship that is under construction moored in the gap, and countless mechanical arms on both sides are constantly busy, an extremely busy scene.
Fuyun Group's Dumbo spacecraft and Dumbo spacecraft are now the most sought-after products in the world, and every spacecraft under construction has been pre-sold several months ago, and now the production mission has been scheduled for five years.
China's domestic capital is very crazy, as soon as the Dumbo and Dumbo spacecraft arrive, they can go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids with a shipload of crews, and the income of hundreds of billions or even hundreds of billions of Chinese dollars back and forth is also possible in addition to all aspects of expenses, which is faster than grabbing money.
Therefore, for Dumbo and Dumbo spaceships, they are very eager to make more money, and naturally Fuyun Group's orders will burst out of the table, and they will not be able to produce it at all.
"If the Huashan is built, will it have an impact on the normal production and operation of your company?"
Wang Aiguo nodded, this space factory is very huge, it is the best embodiment of the Chinese space age, and it is also the most advanced space factory in the world, and it is considered to be the only space factory that can undertake the construction of "Huashan".
"The impact will definitely be there, the volume of the 'Huashan' is too large, and at that time, our entire space factory will have no way to continue to build other spaceships, and the space factory will still be rebuilt to barely meet the early construction of the 'Huashan', and it is only possible to build the skeleton and framework of the 'Huashan', and the real construction will still be completed in space."
Li Fu nodded, it is a chore to build the "Huashan", but it is not only a huge impact on the space factory in front of him, but also a very huge impact on the entire Fuyun Group, and the company's future development strategy and so on will be changed because of this.
"For the sake of our Huaxia, for our human race, some sacrifices must be made, of course, the country will not forget the people who paid for it, Xiao Li, if there is any difficulty, you can just open your mouth to me."
Wang Aiguo nodded, he and Li Fu have not known each other for a day or two, and he also knows that Li Fu rarely asks for it when dealing with the country, but this time Fuyun Group undertook the construction of the "Huashan", Wang Aiguo knew that Li Fu must face a lot of difficulties, after all, the whole of China is now using the power of the country to build a powerful space army.
"I'm definitely not welcome, one of the main difficulties now is that there are too few raw materials, so I hope that the mined asteroids can be supplied to us first, otherwise it will be difficult for the clever woman to cook without rice!"
Li Fu smiled helplessly, the mass of "Huashan" reaches 1 billion tons, even if an asteroid is 10 million tons to calculate, it also needs 100 asteroids, and these asteroids also need to be all 100% iron-contained, in fact, this is almost impossible, asteroids that can reach more than 70% of iron-containing asteroids are very rare, and it may take nearly 200 tens of millions of tons of asteroids to meet the needs of "Huashan".
However, now, with the rapid development of Huaxia in the field of space, there are too many places where steel is needed, such as space farmland, solar farms, building spaceships, frigates, etc., and the need for steel seems to be never satisfied.
The asteroids mined from the asteroid belt have been snapped up in advance before they reach the earth, although the Fuyun Group has a lot of money, but sometimes it can't be forced to buy and sell, and the Huaxia official side is a big buyer of the asteroids, so the number of asteroids that can fall into the hands of the Fuyun Group is less than 4%.
Relying only on the number of asteroids of 4 percent, coupled with the rapid development of the Fuyun Group itself, this simply cannot meet the huge amount of construction of the "Huashan", so this aspect must be coordinated by the Huaxia officials and tilt the resources as much as possible, otherwise the Fuyun Group will not have enough resources to build space warships even if it has the technology to build.
"Don't worry," I will focus on solving this matter, in the future, 2 percent of the asteroids mined from the asteroid belt will be used to build Huashan, and 1 percent of the resources mined from the moon will also be used to build Huashan, I think this should be enough to ensure the supply of Huashan resources.
Wang Aiguo nodded, you can't be too dark, Fuyun Group will contribute people and technology, and the country must at least prepare resources, otherwise, if everything is raised by Fuyun Group, it will really be difficult for a strong man.
"That's barely enough, but I think we should still increase the exploitation of asteroid resources, and now the number of asteroids mined in a year is not more than 30, and it is less than 3 a month, which is too little."
Li Fu quickly calculated in his mind, and then nodded slowly, now there are many places where Huaxia officials want to use resources, not only "Huashan", "Huashan" frigates, "Songshan", "Taishan", "Hengshan", "Huangshan", "Lushan" and so on, although these frigates are not as large as "Huashan", but the combined mass exceeds 10 billion tons, which is ten times that of "Huashan".
In addition, there are as many as 100,000 space fighters, space combat spaceships, etc., and the iron demand for each space fighter and space combat spaceship does not seem to be much, but it can't support too many huge quantities, and the total number adds up to more than 1 billion tons, which also requires very large resources.
If these resources are placed on the earth, it is nothing, but this is in space, and it is impossible to say that steel is transported from the earth to space, otherwise this cost is enough to drag Huaxia down.
Therefore, the best resources are mined from the asteroid belt, and the second is mined from the moon, and the steel resources mined in these two ways are much cheaper than those transported from the earth.
