After the initial oscillation detection,

The next thing Yang Meng had to do was to measure the mass of this huge piece of metal.

Mass determination is not difficult at the current state of human technology.

Even though the composition of the metal block in front of you is so complex that it is difficult to determine the exact density, Ice Medios does not have a large gravity to calculate the mass of the metal block.

However, as long as the motion state of the metal block is changed, its mass can be accurately calculated.

To put it simply, it is to use the thruster to push the metal block in front of you at different speeds to get mass.

And this method of measuring mass is also a common mass determination method in the space age.

It's just that this method has a big premise, which requires a space environment.

Based on this problem, Xiao Yi proposed to incorporate the quality inspection step into the mining and transportation process of the metal block.

For such a proposal, Yang Meng agreed without much thought,

After all, this thing will have to be dug up sooner or later.

……

The removal process of the entire giant cuboid metal block is far simpler and smoother than Yang Meng imagined.

Because it is a huge metal plate brick, there is no need to worry about bumps, so the process of removing the metal block is slightly violent.

Coupled with the extremely low gravity of Ice Medisos, after precise calculations, a simple blast, and some propulsion devices,

The metal slowly left the pit and floated above Ice Debolet.

"According to the detection, there is no abnormality in the target area!"

Hearing Xiao Yi's voice, Yang Meng nodded silently,

On board the ship, he followed the entire exploration and mining process, and when he confirmed that there was nothing else at the bottom of the pit.

Yang Meng focused his attention on the huge metal block in front of him.

At this time, the metal block floating above Ice Boesco was being pushed by three thrusters, slowly moving in the direction of the spaceship.

In the process, the mass of this metal was also obtained - 960,000 tons.

And such a terrifying weight did not surprise Yang Meng,

Because he is well aware of the density of heavy elements, it is normal to have such weight.

Soon, outside the porthole of the spaceship, he saw a faint green dot,

At this time, the small light on the spaceship also sensed the metal block that was gradually approaching,

Seeing the bright green metal block in the distance, the fluctuation frequency on Xiaoguang's body also flashed uncontrollably and rapidly:

"It's huge!"

"It's so big"

"I've never seen such a large piece of rare heavy metal, and if I had changed it to the past, I could even buy ......"

Xiaoguang seemed to be a little excited, and wanted to continue to sigh,

But the next moment, the small light that originally flickered calmed down very strangely,

It's like you've been pressed the pause button, and it's like you've been forced to revert back to the previous flickering frequency.

Such a strange move immediately attracted Yang Meng's attention:

"What's wrong with it?"

"Could it be that the appearance of such a piece of rare heavy metal scares Xiaoguang!"

Thinking of the extremely scarce situation of Lutanxing's rare heavy metals, Yang Meng thought of a possibility,

"If there is a normal trading system for the Rutans, then this giant metal is probably worth a lot of money for the Rutans, and it is an immeasurable sky-high price!"

"Such a piece of metal, even if it is put into the human world, I am afraid it will be worth a lot!"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng was also a little curious, if this piece of metal is converted into the currency used by human beings, how much is the valuation?

"Xiao Yi, roughly calculate the price of this metal!"

"Understood, please select the currency!"

With Xiao Yi's voice, a long list appeared in front of his eyes,

It has a currency code that humans use every day.

Although mankind has entered the interstellar age of the solar system, the currency is still not unified.

After all, there are no large sovereign forces willing to hand over their fundamental interests.

Moreover, there is no force in the human world today that can suppress all other sovereign forces, so that there is only one currency in the human world.

Even if there was a time when some decentralized virtual currencies derived from algorithms, such as hash algorithms, were popular,

However, humans from other forces can also use other algorithms to generate some virtual currencies such as Dogecoin and Cat Coin to disrupt this system.

In this case,

The currency of the human world has not been unified because mankind has entered the solar system era.

On the contrary, due to the expansion of human power, there are some unregulated places, such as the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt, making the existing monetary system of mankind more complex than in the time of Yang Meng's grandfather.

……

At this time, Yang Meng chose a currency that he often used on the earth.

This currency comes from a large sovereign state and is also the human power in which it is located.

After he chose the currency, Xiao Yi immediately calculated the value of this piece of metal.

And when Yang Meng saw the result calculated by Xiao Yi, his expression was also a little trance,

As a pioneer astronaut supported by humans, Yang Meng has no concept of money.

But the long list of numbers in front of him still surprised him a little,

He carefully counted the digits of the number and got an astronomical price:

"Eighty-seven trillion, how can it be so valuable?"

Hearing Yang Meng's question, Xiao Yi showed the price list of various elements in front of Yang Meng.

Looking at the price list in front of you,

Yang Meng seemed to understand Xiaoguang's gaffe just now at this moment.

"The price of 1 gram of thulium is as high as 3,900 yuan"

"The price of radium is 750 yuan, the price of rhodium is 4500, and the price of molybdenum is 380 ......"

Only then did he recall some heavy metal elements, and there was another name - rare precious metals.

The vast majority of the massive metal blocks that are now approaching the spacecraft are made up of precious metals.

Although this rare heavy metal in front of him is worth a lot of money to human beings, Yang Meng quickly calmed down.

After all, for him at this time, it doesn't make sense to measure the thing in front of him with money.

What really matters is the type of element contained in this metal block, and whether the ship can be repaired.

Just when Yang Meng was preparing to send the collection equipment on the spaceship to mine this metal cuboid,

There was another tingling sensation in his temples,

With a tingling pain, he faintly heard some quarrels,

He could understand some of the words of the quarrel, but he couldn't hear anything specifically.

From the looming language, he felt as if a group of pirates were living in his head,

The group of pirates seems to be squabbling over the treasure they have just discovered.

"Ah~ Why did we find out now!"

With a sharp shout, all the voices in Yang Meng's ears disappeared, and his headache was as if it hadn't happened.

"What was going on just now?"

Yang Meng carefully recalled what had just happened, but found that he couldn't remember anything.
