Chapter 520 Interstellar Mining
When he was thinking about this, the crew in charge of the radar said to him loudly: "Mr. Cheng! An asteroid was found at a distance of 80.00 kilometers. According to the judgment of the spacecraft system, the diameter of this asteroid is about ten meters. , and it is also an asteroid rich in iron, with an iron content of more than 10000%. According to the calculation of the system, the weight of this asteroid is about [-] tons. Is Mr. Cheng going to carry out research on this asteroid? capture?"

After hearing what the radar soldier said, Cheng Fei decided to capture the asteroid UI. After all, this was the first asteroid they came across, and it was also an asteroid with a very high iron content. It is estimated by experts that besides iron resources, this asteroid also contains some other metal elements. In particular, there are radioactive elements in this asteroid. According to the analysis, these radioactive elements are likely to be uranium. mine.

This made him very happy. You know, as countries on the earth begin to manufacture various nuclear weapons on a large scale, the consumption of uranium mines is also increasing. In many places, uranium mines have been exhausted, and new mines have not yet been discovered, which makes countries helpless for a while, but fortunately, although there are no new uranium mines on the earth, they are on the moon. Several large uranium mines were discovered, and at the same time, human civilization also began to extract the helium-3 element on the moon, and only then did it resolve the uranium mine crisis that has been going on for a while.

But generally speaking, human civilization actually has a huge demand for uranium ore. At the same time, internationally, the price of uranium ore remains high.

"Evaluate this asteroid immediately. If the overall value of this asteroid exceeds 1000 million, we can capture this asteroid. If it does not reach 1000 million, we don't need to capture him. "Cheng Fei said.

"Okay, Mr. Cheng!" At this moment, a bald middle-aged man replied.

Soon, he got the approximate value of this asteroid based on the data of the system, so he continued to reply: "Mr. Cheng! The result has come out. Although the diameter of this asteroid is only about 10 meters, the total weight That's about 1 tons, but this and the small star contain not only rich iron elements, but also other metal elements and non-metal elements, and among them, there is nothing more than uranium mines in this period. According to our According to the calculation of the spacecraft system, the asteroid contains at least 0.5% uranium.

In other words, the value of the minerals on this asteroid is as high as tens of millions of dollars. If the iron ore and other metal mines on it are added, then the value of this asteroid is at least 2 million U.S. dollars. "

After being confirmed by experts, Cheng Fei smiled immediately, and immediately issued an order to capture the asteroid. Although the weight of this asteroid is only about 1 tons, its value is at least 2 million U.S. dollars. It is definitely a good start, which also makes all the crew members on the Tengfei full of confidence for the next journey.

Although the length of the spacecraft after take-off is only 80 meters, as a mining ship, the Tengfei spacecraft has a lot of load capacity. After all, it is not on the ground in space. As long as the Tengfei can hold it, Then it can definitely be transported away, even if the volume of the meteorite itself is several times larger than Tengfei, Tengfei can also be transported away, of course, there is no limit to this.

According to the factory data of this spacecraft, the heaviest Tengfei can drag a meteorite of about 1000 million tons. If the weight of the meteorite exceeds 1000 million tons, then it will affect the structure of the spacecraft, so in general it is I don't mind dragging an asteroid with more than 1000 million tons. Of course, it is also possible in an emergency, but the maximum cannot exceed 1500 million tons.

After Cheng Fei gave the command to capture, Tengfei Hao space mining ship immediately changed its original flight trajectory and began to fly in the direction of the asteroid, and the speed of the spacecraft also began to slow down.

After all, the diameter of this asteroid has reached about ten meters, and its weight is as high as more than 10000 tons. If the spacecraft does not slow down and hits it at a speed of 35 kilometers per second, Cheng Fei can be sure that even the Tengfei spacecraft The armor and the armor of medium and large spaceships are almost unbearable, so slowing down is a must.

When the spacecraft came near the asteroid, the speed of the spacecraft also dropped to the same speed as the asteroid, and it began to approach the asteroid, and the huge mechanical claw in front of the spacecraft also slowly moved Open up, ready to capture the asteroid.

No surprises, when the Tengfei spacecraft approached the asteroid, the mechanical claw firmly grasped the asteroid once, and put the asteroid in a special cabin at the back of the spacecraft .

There are a total of five cabins inside the Tengfei space mining ship, and one of these cabins is quite special, that is, the cabin at the back of the spacecraft. This cabin is specially used to store various minerals with radiation elements. This When the cabin was designed, it had already undergone special treatment.

Although the asteroid has a diameter of ten meters and is still irregular in shape, the cabin of the spacecraft can still be put down.

"Captain! The asteroid capture has been completed. Now we have placed this asteroid in the fifth cabin and fixed it. Captain, should we continue to search for other asteroids, or return to the Nantianmen space station first, Deal with this asteroid first?" After putting the asteroid into the cabin, some crew members couldn't help asking?
"Continue to look for other asteroids! Although we have captured this asteroid this time, our trip has been full of rewards, but this asteroid is only about ten meters in diameter. At the same time, other cabins in our spacecraft They are still empty, since we have come out, let’s fill up all the other cabins and go back!” Cheng Fei replied.

You must know that Cheng Fei still owes a large amount of money to the bank, plus the maintenance of the spacecraft, the energy supply of the spacecraft, and the wages of the employees have been rewarded, etc., his current amount of pressure can be said to be very high, so he can If you install more, you can install more, not to mention that his spaceship has only installed one cabin, and the others are still empty, and he has absolutely no plans to go back.

"Good! Captain." All the crew members replied.

After all, it's not easy to come out once, and every time they come out, these crew members have a 20.00% commission, so these crew members don't want to go back now.
