Interstellar Industrial Age

In a void in the inner circle of the solar system, the Kaguya spacecraft is quietly flying by inertia at a speed of 46 kilometers per second in the void. The fuel on it has been exhausted, and an asteroid is dragging behind it.

Oshima-kun, can we really catch up with Earth?

At the control center of the Kaguya spacecraft, Ota Hiroshima once asked Oshima Jiro, a cosmic astronomical scientist responsible for the calculation of the Kaguya spacecraft's orbit.

Can't catch up~ I'm pretty sure of that.

According to the original plan, we had to meet the earth just at a speed of 500,000 kilometers per second. Now our speed is only more than 40 kilometers per second. After calculating, there is no way to meet the regulations. Time and Earth meet.

Now that our fuel has been used up again, there is no way to continue to accelerate. Even if we lose this asteroid, we still have no way to catch up with the earth.

Once we can't catch up with the earth, then we will never be able to return to the earth. We have no way to slow down or change the trajectory of our flight. We will keep wandering like this.

Oshima Jiro shook his head helplessly. He has repeatedly calculated the orbits of the Kaguya spacecraft and the earth, and it can be 100% confirmed that the spacecraft cannot rendezvous with the earth at the specified time.

How close can we get to Earth?

Hiroshi Ota nodded. In fact, Jiro Oshima didn't need to say that, as the captain, he also knew this very well, but he needed a professional to confirm it.

According to the current trajectory of our flight and the orbit of the earth, we will be 5 million kilometers away from the earth in 15 days. This distance is the closest distance. After that, the distance between us and the earth will become farther and farther.

Oshima Jiro used the virtual watch he wore to tell the results calculated by the computer.

After 15 days, 5 million kilometers?

Ota Guangyi nodded, pondered, and then said with a long sigh: Now we can't do anything, the only thing we can do is to wait and see what way the earth can come up with to save us.

The only way on the mainland side of the earth is to find the Galaxy Technology Group and ask them to dispatch the Qinglong spacecraft. With the powerful performance of the Qinglong spacecraft, they can come to rescue us during this period of time and catch up with the earth. , and even, I guess they can even haul this asteroid back.

Oshima Jiro thought for a while and said with a wry smile: But if we want to ask Galaxy Technology Group to help, we absolutely need to pay a huge price, and they may not be willing to help us.

The Empire will not abandon us!

Hiroshi Ota looked at the direction of the earth and said with great certainty.

Earth, Japan.

The Academy of Sciences has repeatedly confirmed that the Kaguya spacecraft has no way to catch up with the earth because it ran out of fuel and the speed did not reach the predetermined speed. We must find a way to save the Kaguya spacecraft.

Masao Nakamura looked at the boss in a conference room, and explained the current situation in detail. At the same time, he also expressed his opinion. The Kaguya spacecraft must be rescued. This spacecraft cost a huge price, and more importantly, The more than 100 people on the spaceship are all elites, and now they are heroes of Japan.

Of course, the asteroid dragged back by the Kaguya spacecraft is what everyone really cares about. 20 million tons of gold, which is enough to make the whole of Japan rich overnight, no matter how expensive it is, as long as possible, They will also do everything possible to bring it back to Earth.

The Huiye spacecraft is in such a situation now. It is not for the sake of gambling for the country, but for this huge wealth. Otherwise, the Huiye spacecraft will not be like this. It is still no problem to haul an asteroid back casually. of.

Is there any feasible plan here at the Academy of Sciences?

if so,

Let it go and do whatever it takes to bring that asteroid back to Earth.

The boss sitting in the highest position thought about it and said that he only cares about the asteroid and the 20 million tons of gold. For him, if the asteroid can come back, even if the Kaguya spacecraft can return. Yes, it's worth it.

The only way now is to find Qin Yi and dispatch the Qinglong spacecraft. Only by dispatching the Qinglong spacecraft can the Huiye spacecraft be brought back. As for that asteroid...

Masao Nakamura did not continue to speak. He was very clear about the importance of this asteroid, 20 million tons of gold, no matter which country was interested in such a huge amount of gold.

Although the huge amount of gold will cause the price of gold on the earth to plummet, gold is not only a symbol of wealth, it has a huge role in the industrial field, and it has a big role in many places.

Just because the price of gold is too expensive, alternative materials are often used, but in the highly sensitive electronics and high-tech fields, there are still many places where gold is needed, and there is no way to use alternative materials, such as mobile phones. Gold, many people recycle their mobile phones, that is, the parts containing gold are used to extract gold.

Gold is not only wealth but also an important industrial material, it is also the most important strategic reserve of a country, an important thing to stabilize a country's currency, and each of the world's major rogues and major economies has a large amount of gold reserves.

Do whatever it takes to bring that asteroid back.

The upper side almost didn't think about it, and gave a death order.

Hi~

Nakamura Masao hurriedly lowered his head and replied.

...

During the recent period, Qin Yi's mood was quite good. The Qinglong spacecraft returned from the asteroid belt and brought back an asteroid with a mass of hundreds of millions of tons.

With sufficient resources, the Dragon Nest Space Factory is also full of firepower. At the same time, 5 Qinglong-class spaceships are being built. And because of the large-scale whole castings, the spaceships are getting better and better, and a new batch of 5 ships has been built. The Qinglong-class spacecraft can reach 500 million tons of thrust.

Of these 5 spaceships, 2 were ordered from above and basically did not make any money. The other one belonged to the old man and did not make any money. The other was sold to Ji Rong and the others. There are a few spaceships, and the remaining spaceship, Qin Yi intends to use it by himself, is still the old rule. For each batch of spaceships, at least one or two should be reserved for himself.

Only if you have enough spaceships can you do what you want without being controlled by others. What's more, Qin Yi is now poor and only has money left. Instead of saving money in the bank, it is better to save more universe. Spaceship, this spaceship takes away the asteroid, which can bring a steady stream of profits every year.

Boss, the Japanese are looking for you again, see you?

At this moment, Lin Fang, Qin Yi's secretary, came in and said.

Did they say anything?

Qin Yi thought about it. It seems that he didn't dig a hole for Japan recently. Why are they looking for themselves? Didn't they think their spaceship was too expensive last time and couldn't afford it? Is it rich now?

Take them to the conference room.

After thinking about it, Qin Yi still decided to meet these Japanese people. If he can sell a spaceship for 5 trillion, the money will be enough to build several spaceships by himself. This business can still be done. The cost of this spaceship is too high, and it is impossible not to find a few snags.

Soon, Qin Yi came to the conference room, this time led by Masao Nakamura, and Taro Ishida who had met last time.

Mr. Qin~

Seeing Qin Yi coming, Ishida Taro and Nakamura Masao also stood up quickly and bowed very politely.

Mr. Ishida, I didn't expect how soon, we will meet again.

Qin Yi smiled and nodded, and then the guest and host were seated.

Mr. Qin, let me introduce to you, this is Masao Nakamura, the head of our Japan Space Center.

Ishida Taro smiled and introduced Nakamura Masao to Qin Yi.

Hello, Mr. Nakamura.

Qin Yi smiled and greeted the other party, but then he thought quickly in his mind.

Did something happen to the Japanese spaceship Kaguya?

They shouldn't have come to ask me for help.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi hurriedly used his virtual watch to send a message to the Institute of Astronomical and Astronomical Sciences of the Galaxy Science Research Institute, asking them to verify the situation of the Kaguya spacecraft as soon as possible. This Japanese is the fat delivered to the door. I have no reason not to kill them.

Mr. Qin, I have long admired the famous name. I can see you today. Sansheng is lucky.

Masao Nakamura bowed to Qin Yi very respectfully. This is from the heart. He really admires Qin Yi. As the person in charge of the Aerospace Center, he knows too well that everything is driven by the person in front of him. , Without him, the earth wants to develop to the current level, and I don't know how long it will take.

Mr. Nakamura and Mr. Ishida don't need to be so polite, please feel free. I don't have so many rules here. I have met Mr. Ishida several times, and it is considered an old bargain.

Qin Yi smiled and said, I didn't want to waste time, just talk about the business and forget it.

But now, Qin Yi is going to wait for a while. After his subordinates have checked the situation of the Kaguya, and the intention of the other party, he will talk slowly and get down to business.

Now, I still want to find a way to drag the other party. This Nakamura Masao must have something to do with the Kaguya spacecraft. Besides, Qin Yi really can't figure out why they would look for him.

In a short period of time, they should not be able to get enough Chinese coins to buy their own spaceships, and as for other things, they don't need to send two big men to come together.
