Escape The Solar System With Millennium Technology

Chapter 172 – Space mining

Inside the Pentagon in the United States, “this time we lost 13 billion U.S. dollars. The containment of Ford’s No. 1 reactor was punctured and it was soaked in sea water for three days. The maintenance cost alone would cost 8 billion U.S. dollars.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, how should we repay this hatred?” Five-star Admiral Robert Rockefeller asked the people below in the meeting room.

At this time, one hand was raised, and Robert looked at the owner of that hand and said, “Penny, do you have any good ideas?”

“General! The most important thing for us now is to figure out what weapons the future technology company has yet to take out, and to what extent Wang Lei’s technology has reached.”

“Only knowing this, we can proceed to the next step.” said the blond intellectual beauty named Penny.

“Tell me what you think!” Robert said while sitting in a small chair beside him.

“First, we have to return to Yemen, support the local forces, and then let them test the strength of future technology companies. We can provide them with weapons and provide them with tactical guidance.” Petunia said.

“Then which force should I choose to support?” Robert asked.

“Hu Sai armed!”

“The Hussein armed forces hate us to death. Are you sure they will accept our support?” Robert asked suspiciously.

“There has never been an enemy forever in this world. As long as the benefits are sufficient, even a mortal enemy can become a best friend. Am I right? General.” Petunia said with a smile.

Hearing Petunia’s words, Robert laughed loudly, “Haha! Yes, as long as you use enough to kill your father and enemies, you can become your best friend. I admire you very much. You will be the commander-in-chief of this action.”

“Thank you, General, I will not let you down.” Petunia said with a smile.

In the underground laboratory, Wang Lei looked at the test paper written by Einstein, “Yes, it’s all right. I’ll add a ham sausage at noon.”

Sitting on the ground, Einstein heard that there was ham to eat, and immediately wagged his tail and screamed excitedly.

“Well! Go there by yourself!” Wang Lei waved his hand.

Hearing that he could go out to play, Einstein ran to his beloved ball quickly, grabbed the ball and ran towards the elevator.

There was a cry in front of the elevator door, and the elevator door opened automatically. When he walked into the elevator, Einstein put down the ball hanging in his mouth, and called a few times to the camera on the elevator. The elevator door closed automatically and then went up. go with.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Watching Einstein leave happily, Wang Lei smiled and turned around and asked Sunday, “Has the space station’s factory started producing graphene wires?”

“The production of graphene wires is on the right track, and we are now producing 1085 meters!” While answering on Sunday, the computer in front of Wang Lei showed the monitor screen of the graphene wire production line.

It was seen that dozens of graphene wires with a thickness of only 1 were tied into a fist-sized cable under the package of the machine.

Although only a one-centimeter thick graphene wire can be seen in the monitoring screen, Wang Lei knows that this one-centimeter wire is made up of a graphene wire that is only one-third thick of a human hair. In order to diversify risks and improve production efficiency.

If the graphene wire is made into a solid wire, then if it breaks, then the whole rope will be broken, and it is very time-consuming and laborious to make a graphene wire with a thickness of seven centimeters. A small piece of graphene wire is required It takes more than an hour to deposit graphite.

If you choose multiple bundles, it will be much faster. A dozen machines are produced together, and then bundled, the production speed can reach 10 meters per hour.

It only takes about a year to produce 100,000 kilometers of graphene wire.

For such a factory, there are a total of eight on the space station, so the manufacturing time can be shortened, and four graphene wires with a length of 100,000 kilometers can be produced in half a year.

“How is the mining spacecraft?” Wang Lei continued to ask.

“The mining ship has already been resupplied on Mars and is about to enter the asteroid belt.” A picture of the solar system was displayed on the screen on Sunday. There is a small red dot on the periphery of Mars, that is, it has been flying in space for almost a week. Mining spacecraft.

And the replenishment on Mars is actually replenishing massive gas, and by the way, a small base is placed on Mars.

The function of this small base is to supply large-mass gas for the next mining spacecraft to reduce the time that the mining spacecraft stays.

“Looking for a valuable asteroid, the first space mining must not lose money.” Wang Lei said.

Three hours later, the mining spacecraft reached the edge of the asteroid belt, and the artificial intelligence on the mining spacecraft began to search for asteroids worth mining according to a predetermined plan.

Although it was an asteroid belt, when I glanced over it, it was still dark and empty, with countless shining stars as the background board.

However, under the search of the spectrometer, the mining spacecraft soon found an asteroid that was suspected to be worth mining.

Four minutes later, Wang Lei in the underground laboratory received the mining spacecraft and sent back the asteroid’s spectral data.

“This asteroid is three kilometers in size, with platinum accounting for 70% the most, followed by carbon accounting for 17% and silicate with 13%,” said Sunday.

“Let the detector do further detection.” Wang Lei ordered.

Four minutes later, the hatch of the mining spacecraft opened, and a small probe flew out and flew towards the asteroid 370,000 kilometers away.

The majority of the structure of this small detector is ion thrusters and compressed air tanks. Even the battery is only the size of a mobile phone. The electric energy is all provided by the remote transmission of the mining spacecraft. The equipment responsible for detection only accounts for a small amount. Part.

This design is to allow the detector to fly fast enough, saving time and fuel.

About an hour later, the small probe arrived near the asteroid. After several adjustments, the small probe landed on the asteroid. Four fixed drill bits were driven into the surface of the asteroid, and the small probe Lauder was fixed on the asteroid. On asteroids.

Then a probe is extended from the small probe and inserted into the surface of the asteroid. The probe sends a shock wave to propagate the entire asteroid. Then, after the probe is received by the probe, the received data is processed. A three-dimensional image of the planet’s interior appeared.

Four minutes later, the data reached the earth, and Wang Lei, who was feeding Einstein, received a report from Sunday, “Master, the detailed data of the asteroid has been sent back.”

“send it!”

“Good master!” The next moment a three-dimensional model of an asteroid appeared in Wang Lei’s mind.
