Chapter 10 Rafting
There are two reasons for the formation of a normally dense asteroid belt.
The first is in the process of star system formation, those debris that did not have time to form large planets, and then because of the gravitational interference of those large planets that have already formed, they are thrown away to the edge of the star system.
The representative of this method is the familiar Kuiper belt.
The second is a less common form, in which one or more planets are formed by self-disintegration or planetary collision and annihilation.
According to the preliminary scan results, the asteroid belt in front of Kungo can be judged to belong to this second type.
Under normal circumstances, the area of the second type of asteroid belt is not too large, but in fact, the asteroid belt in front of Kunwu is more than five times larger than the Kuiper belt according to calculations.
Because it is not a typical structure of a hollow disc, but a spherical shell with a relatively uniform distribution.
Thinking of the sea of silence outside the Nadakh before, and then thinking about the theoretical existence of the white people in the target location, Kungo felt that the possibility of natural formation here was very low.
After an hour of floating in the asteroid belt, Kungo finally avoided the range of the single wave, and I have to say that it was correct to shoot at the source at the beginning of the single wave.
Although the situation at the time seemed more chaotic, it greatly diminished the power of the single wave.
You must know that a single wave is like a snowball, and in the end, it will even directly cause an avalanche.
Humans have observed in the historical record that there was a single ecological planet that humans intended to colonize because of a single wave.
In the end, a huge debris with a diameter of 2,000 kilometers was knocked out of its original orbit, and finally collided with the ecological planet, and finally the ecological planet was completely destroyed, and mankind had to give up the plan to colonize there.
But this time, because of Kunwu's main cannon, the original single wave of transmission has become a chaotic circle that is transmitted in all directions, although it will be more chaotic in the core position, but the original transmission has been disrupted, and the final power has been greatly weakened.
Of course, this weakening is also relative, and Kungo can now see tens of hundreds of kilometers of debris from time to time in the extreme distance with his super vision.
"The chaos here will soon calm down!" Apo's voice suddenly rang out, "We all underestimated the situation in the target area, where there is not only a highly intelligent attacker, but also a controller. This time the chaos should have made a big hole in the entire asteroid belt, but in fact, now the entire asteroid is already recovering at an accelerated pace! ”
"Gravitational waves or something?" Kungo Road.
Apo smiled: "It's even more exaggerated than you think." It is a low-level use of space calibration. This is a technology developed in the mid-to-late Empire, and you can think of it as a more advanced use of the Coordinate-like Engine! ”
Kun Wu pouted: "The technology of the empire is really all kinds of madness!" ”
Apo has always been extremely proud of the Empire's technology, but at this time, he was strangely silent for a moment: "But the Empire has only opened the door to the truth, and there is still a long way to go. If the empire hadn't been obsessed with studying demons, it might have gone further! ”
Kungo shrugged: "Although it is a little cruel, but as far as I am concerned, if there is no accident in the Empire, there will be nothing to do with us Earth humans." According to what the envoy said before, if it weren't for the disaster of his empire, the empire would not have put primitive humans! ”
Po made a lip-smacking sound: "I don't think there's anything wrong with you saying that!" ”
"Hey, that's your country!" Kungo was terrified.
Apo said in an indifferent tone: "That is indeed my motherland, but the current human race is also my compatriots, because I am your quantum mind." Your influence on me is great. So it turns out that you're the one who teases! ”
Kungo broke out in a cold sweat, he knew that Apo's shattered hell was about to unfold again.
But this time it was unexpected, Apo did not ramble, but quickly diverted his attention: "Ah! Host, go ahead, Vector Seven, three kilometers away, you should see that thing. The volume is 66.75 cubic meters! ”
Kungo looked at what Apo was talking about, but found that it was a gray-blue fragment that was not large and irregularly shaped, but there were crosses on it like frost flowers, each pattern seemed to be carved into a fine carving, and each one was a completely regular cross.
"Duronse Mine, my God, this thing is such a big chunk? Still pure mine! Kungo saw the thing and screamed.
"Look around!" Apo's voice sounded faintly.
Kun Wu turned his head to look around, and then began to gasp: "The Golden Stone Mine, the Blue Platinum Mine, and the Adutesara Crystal. Oh my God, is this the Natural Minerals Expo? ”
Although human beings have mastered the rudimentary material conversion technology, because this technology is directly parachuted from the lost technology of the Golden Empire, human beings are actually only using this technology in a rigid way.
Therefore, there are still only a few "formulas" for the conversion of substances discovered more than 50 years ago, and according to Apo, human beings have actually been exposed to the conversion of matter at least 300 years earlier, so it is estimated that it will take a few hundred years for human beings to really begin to use material conversion technology proficiently.
So before that, human beings still need a lot of rare ores, but the rare ores that human beings need now are basically in the asteroid belt or pure mining stars, and they are almost invisible in ecological planets.
The ores found here by Kunwu are extremely rare ores, and many times the amount of ore mined in the asteroid belt or even the ore star in a year is not as large as the one in front of them.
As far as the Duronse mine under his feet is now, this is a material necessary for the faster-than-light engine, and the mining volume of the whole federation in a month is only as large as his feet under normal circumstances, and it is still raw ore, and it will be less after purification. If it weren't for the small amount of this thing, the human faster-than-light engine would have been a pipe dream.
But now, there is a piece of pure ore at Kunwu's feet.
As for the others, they were also extremely useful, such as the Adutethalla Crystal, which was the core material for the Helium Flash Star Destroyer.
"It's all mine!" Kunwu waved his hand domineeringly, decisively put the convergence with his friends behind his head, opened the storage space and began to mine.
