Looking at the clear-eyed and bright old man in front of him, Chen Mengchuan nodded and said calmly: "We can be anxious, but don't mess up, I believe you know this truth better than me, Mojilni." ”

"Continuing with the current progress, I hope that the next time Tissot returns to Earth, we can bring the first batch of metal smelter employees that we have prepared to Mars, compare them to the time they have been studying on Earth for a while, I believe that many of them have almost completed their theoretical knowledge and practice and are competent enough, and all that remains is the actual operation on Mars."

Mojirny: "I know that we will take all the time to get it done. ”

After saying this, Chen Mengchuan set his eyes on Toni, Puslin, and Chen Xiaoyun.

"Nuclear power projects, from the current progress, are not much better than metal smelters. We've even just finished the field survey, but the results are not particularly ideal, and we have to wait for the next field survey to be completed, and then we can judge whether the site is suitable for the nuclear power plant based on the actual data. At present, the siting of nuclear power plants is much more difficult and complex than that of metal smelters, so the progress will be slower. Toni spoke slowly.

Chen Mengchuan nodded.

"Is your asteroid capture ship ready to capture glaciers? When the time comes, once the site is chosen, the glacier will be sent over as soon as possible. Toni said.

Chen Mengchuan smiled: "We have completed most of the work, and we will definitely not hold you back when the time comes, we have already found a suitable glacier." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a gravitational screen, and above it was a huge glacier, a continuous area, a large area of incomparably wide and tens of kilometers thick Martian polar glaciers were cut into huge and incomparably independent flake glaciers by naturally formed fissures.

These glaciers are undoubtedly good news for an asteroid capture ship.

Chen Mengchuan opened another video screen, and a huge glacier had been cut off, and the glacier itself had been uprooted!

Huge flakes of ice, under the gravitational pull of countless gravitational bees, have been calmly suspended dozens of meters above the glacier.

"As long as you confirm the selection point, you can prepare the ice cubes in place, and when the time comes, you will have enough water to complete the operation of the nuclear power plant." Chen Mengchuan said with a smile.

"It's hard to imagine...... look at what we've done, if we do this on Earth, we will probably be protested by the United Nations environmental protection organization until the end of the world." Puslin laughed.

"There is no life on Mars, or we have not found any life forms at the moment, as long as we don't blow up Mars, what we do on it, no one will interfere with us, not even a chance to interfere with us. So for now, the whole of Mars can be said to belong to us, so in this case, intercepting some glaciers is not a serious matter. Toni said flatly.

Chen Mengchuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "I don't admit it, if you say it after a while, we will resolutely not admit it." ”

Toni ignored him: "Do I look like such a stupid person?" How's your current asteroid capture program going? ”

"The observation work has not yet been completed, but 62 asteroids of unequal volume and shape have been preliminarily observed, and it is still difficult to judge the composition of these asteroids from the perspective of observation and observation, but through our continuous scanning observations, there are three main types of asteroids. One group we call it a type C carbonaceous asteroid, one group calls it an S-type silicate asteroid, and the last group we call it an M-type metal-bearing asteroid. Chen Mengchuan said slowly.

"Among these three types of asteroids, M-type metal-bearing asteroids are the most important for us, as long as we catch a large enough M-type metal-bearing asteroid, it will be enough for us to digest for a long time."

"The C-type carbon-containing asteroid is also very important to us, we can get a lot of carbon from it, and these carbon elements can be converted into an unimaginable amount of graphene materials, whether these graphene materials are used for our own use or made into finished products to supply to the earth, which is enough for us to obtain a lot of effective benefits."

"If we're lucky enough, we could even develop hundreds or even thousands of tons of diamonds in it." Chen Mengchuan said with a smile.

"You should tell us about your asteroids, not diamonds." Toni said.

"Okay, okay." Chen Mengchuan smiled.

"As you should know, the asteroid belt is a dense area of asteroids in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Of the nearly 120,000 asteroids that have been numbered by previous human institutions, 98.5% have been discovered here. These asteroids are small celestial bodies made of rock or metal that orbit the Sun. Because this is the densest region of asteroids, estimated at 500,000 asteroids, this area is called the main asteroid belt, often referred to as the main belt, and our target is these M-type metal-bearing asteroids in the main belt. ”

"For now, the first three asteroids to be discovered in the main belt are Homo sapiens, marital, and Vesta, while the three largest asteroids are Homo sapiens, Resphine, and Vesta, all of which have an average diameter of more than 400 kilometers; There is only one dwarf planet in the main belt, Ceres, with a diameter of about 950 kilometers; The rest of the asteroids are not big, and some are only as big as dust. ”

"If we can capture an M-type metal-bearing asteroid with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers, you can imagine how much metal we can use."

"But! Although it is called an asteroid belt and can be regarded as a place for planetary clusters, the asteroid belt is still very empty. If it weren't for the deliberate selection of targets, our asteroid capture ships would have been able to see nothing in the desert of space as they crossed the asteroid belt. ”

"And based on the observations of the 12 super astronomical telescopes that we have put out so far. The number of these asteroids far exceeds what humans have estimated in the past. The total number could be in the hundreds of millions, or even more, depending on how the lower limit of asteroid size is defined. The number of asteroids with diameters of more than 1 kilometer currently observed is between 9.7 million and 37 million, and probably more. ”

After saying this, Chen Mengchuan smiled very ...... Happy!
