Haitian Company, Moon Branch.

Don't get me wrong, this Haitian company has nothing to do with selling soy sauce, and of course it has nothing to do with selling meat.

This company is Zhang Xinghang's family business, which used to be engaged in small mineral development and real estate, part-time convenience stores and shopping malls, his father in the development of the alliance, saw the opportunity to invest in a lot of minerals and restaurants in Southeast Asia and Australia, and is now a small group of more than 10 billion.

Moreover, Zhang Xinghang's father has a very good vision, and when he was in the East Island, he applied to the Galaxy Consortium for space development business and became one of the first companies to enter outer space.

"Hang, the four Worker Bee-class mining ships we purchased have arrived, and there is also an improved version of the Qinglong-class Type 2 spaceship." Anna had been genetically strengthened at this time, and her whole person appeared radiant, and many white people's genetic defects had been repaired.

Zhang Xinghang took the document and flipped through it: "Did they recruit the drivers and mining operators recruited by the Ministry of Human Resources before?"

"It's already being hired." Anna nodded.

"Okay, now it's time to do a big job." Zhang Xinghang took out a document and walked to the venue outside the company.

Their branch in the moon, in the area of Dongfanghong City, is a mining company, so when their company applied for regional allocation, they chose Shayan Town, which is located in the suburbs.

Not far from the outside of the company, is their spaceship parking site, Zhang Xinghang bought the spacecraft at the expo a few days ago are inside, and the spaceships are directly parked in the open air.

The 10 pilots and 8 mining operators are all wearing spacesuits, and they are cooperating with the maintenance personnel to check the spacecraft, especially the life-supporting equipment, this thing has something to do with their lives, and others can be sloppy, this thing is sloppy, it is their own death.

"Dashan, how's the ship doing?" Zhang Xinghang beckoned Chang Dashan, the captain of the mining team, over and asked.

"Mr. Zhang, the situation is very good, they are all new spaceships of the original factory of Surging Power, and there is no problem in running thirty units." Chang Dashan patted the spaceship and replied.

"Well, let's try our luck in the asteroid belt today." Zhang Xinghang proposed.

"Mr. Zhang, have you got your mining license?" Chang Dashan hurriedly asked.

Zhang Xinghang opened the holographic bracelet and released a Class B mining license, which is that it can mine asteroids with a diameter of less than 1 km.

Of course, this is not without regulation, for asteroids that are specially marked to prohibit mining, no matter how big or small, they are not allowed to be mined, and the artificial intelligence system that comes with the spacecraft will automatically identify these asteroids.

And there are a lot of taxes, generally 40% ~ 60% of ore sales, of which the fixed public assets tax is 20%, 20% ~ 40% floating mining value-added tax, mining value-added tax is assessed by sales, less than 100 million is 20%, 1~1 billion is 25%, 10~100 is 30%, 100~100 billion is 35%, more than 100 billion is 40%, settled once a month.

There is no way to evade taxes with this thing, because not only the acquirer has to issue contracts and invoices, but the ship's artificial intelligence will also automatically record relevant information.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang has already applied for a mining license, let's go!" Chang Dashan and Zhang Xinghang nodded, and then beckoned the pilot and mining operators to board the ship.

Zhang Xinghang also took the Qinglong-class spacecraft, which is a Qinglong-class Type 2, which contains maintenance equipment and daily necessities.

For the sake of safety, the Qinglong-class spaceship and the 4 worker-bee-class mining spaceships will form a formation to go to the asteroid belt for mining, as for the asteroids near the Blue Star, they have long been picked up by the alliance officials and the previous mining companies, and there are only some worthless ice asteroids and the like left.

In fact, the alliance has a very large mineral gap this year, with a gap of about 580 million tons of iron alone and 580 million tons of pure iron, not iron ore.

With the vigorous development of the Alliance's spaceships, space stations, space fortresses and the like, the Alliance's demand for all kinds of raw materials is also increasing, and the countries of the Blue Star Age and the countries of the Interstellar Age are consuming resources at a rate and quantity that are hundreds or thousands of times higher.

The spacecraft formation reported its route to the tower in Dongfanghong City (under the Ministry of Aerospace Communications) and headed for the nearest space station in New Manila, where they needed to use the mass projector on the space station to add water to the asteroid belt.

The spacecraft formation slowly came to a halt in the berthing area of the space station at the New Manila space station.

[Mr. Zhang, wait a moment, we are waiting in line for ejection.] Chang Dashan is obviously very clear about this process, he was also a retired spacecraft pilot before.

[Yama, you arrange.] Zhang Xinghang also knew that he didn't understand some of the processes of spaceships, so he handed over the matter to professionals.

On the three mass projectors of the new Manila space station, spacecraft are quickly projected into the starry sky, most of these spacecraft are private spacecraft, because the use of mass projectors to help run can reduce the fuel cost of the spacecraft and increase the cruising range of the spacecraft.

The New Manila space station is located between 1.78 and 2.0 AU from the inner edge of the asteroid belt, with an average semi-major axis of 1.9 AU, and is home to asteroids of the Hungarian family. It is dominated by the Hungarian asteroid, which contains at least 52 well-known asteroids.

The orbits of the Hungarian asteroids all have high inclination and are separated from the main belt by a 4:1 Kirkwood gap. Some members belong to asteroids that cross the orbit of Mars, and it is possible that the disturbance of Mars has reduced the number of members of this family.

The high-inclination family at the outer edge of the asteroid's main belt is the Phoogon family, orbiting between 2.25 and 2.5 AU from the Sun. It is mainly composed of S-type asteroids, with some E-type asteroids near the Hungarian family.

[Everyone, get ready, we're about to enter the projection phase, and we'll make sure again about the status of our respective survival bays.] Chang Dashan saw that there were only two spaceships left in the team in front of him, and immediately commanded the spaceship formation.

[Roger.] ］

[Oh Bo!] ］

［OK。 ］

Everyone confirmed the safety of the life support cabin, and the Qinglong class was the first to enter the projection guide of the mass projector.

[Here is the New Manila Space Station 2 projector, the QL-2-642 spacecraft, launched 3, 2, and 1...... ］

Driven by the surging Lorentz force, Chang Dashan steered the spacecraft to rush towards the inner edge of the asteroid belt, and then the remaining four Worker Bee-class mining spacecraft were also projected into the asteroid belt after the Qinglong-class spacecraft.

Soon, the speed of the spacecraft formation increased to 3% of the speed of light, which is a cruising speed of 9,000 kilometers per second; The distance of 1.9 astronomical units is 285 million kilometers, and the spacecraft formation can reach the inner edge of the asteroid belt in about 9 hours.

Zhang Xinghang opened the retina screen boringly, browsing some news and information of the alliance, 9 hours is not long, and it is not short.

[Ladies and gentlemen, we are less than 5 million kilometers away from the inner edge of the asteroid belt and are now starting to accelerate.] Chang Dashan reminded.

[Roger.] ］

After a while, the spacecraft united with the team and slowly braked into the asteroid belt.
