It is precisely because the people in the Dijiang spacecraft are very aware of the dangers in the asteroid belt, so they naturally reduced the speed to a controllable range.

"Reporting sir, according to the detection of Leda, we found a small star with a diameter of about 20 meters in the distance, and it has a strong metallic reaction. It is very likely that it is a star made of metal It is an asteroid that is the main constituent element, may I ask if you need to go to investigate." Just as everyone felt a little bored, the person responsible for exploring nearby asteroids reported.

So when this person reported this piece of information, whether it was the captain of the Dijiang spacecraft or other personnel, they were refreshed. After all, flying in the empty universe is too boring, and now finally Having found a valuable target, they naturally want to go and have a look.

Therefore, the captain of the Dijiang spacecraft, Captain Qiu, immediately ordered from the bridge: "Immediately adjust the course and approach the target asteroid. Since it is a valuable asteroid, we will naturally go to investigate it."

After he finished speaking, he also secretly thought that this asteroid belt, although before, scientists on the earth had speculated that there are a lot of resources in it, including various strategic rare metal resources.

But now it seems that there is no doubt that the previous speculations of scientists on the earth are correct. In this asteroid belt, there are indeed very rich variety. Otherwise, if they entered the asteroid belt, the first one they encountered had a diameter of more than 10 An asteroid that is less than one meter has a certain value.

You know, this is an asteroid with a diameter of more than 30 meters, and it is also an asteroid mainly composed of metal substances, so even the metals in this asteroid are all the most common in the universe, such as , iron, copper, magnesium, aluminum, etc., also have very high value.

After all, as the civilization of the earth began to enter the era of spaceflight on a large scale, it began to manufacture working spacecraft on a large scale, and these spacecraft required a large amount of metal to manufacture, especially the most common metal in the universe. in this way.

It is precisely because of this that the production capacity of various common metals on the earth has been seriously insufficient. At the same time, some minerals have begun to dry up at this time. various common metals.

As for the mineral base on the moon, although mining has already started at this time, it can even basically meet the current needs. Bases on different planets require a large amount of various metals, especially common metal materials.

It is precisely because of this that human civilization’s demand for these common metal materials will also increase geometrically. With the current scale of human civilization’s mining of these metal materials,

It is far from meeting the needs in the future, so now we have to plan ahead and look for some metal minerals, especially those in the asteroid belt. After all, compared with things on other planets, the asteroids here, especially Those small asteroids are the least difficult to mine.

At that time, as long as a small spacecraft is used to drag these asteroids to the orbit of Mars or the orbit of Venus, and then use solar energy for refining, a large amount of metal can be obtained.

As for why it is not the earth and the moon, it is also for the safety of the earth and the moon. Although with the current technology of human civilization, even if these asteroids are pulled to the vicinity of the earth or the moon, these asteroids can be well controlled. It will not fall to the earth or the moon.

But what if! It is said that they are not afraid of what happens, but they are afraid of 10,000. In addition, between the earth and the moon or the earth-moon system, there are now various space equipment and various spacecraft of human civilization, such as space vehicles. Space shuttle and various satellites and so on.

And once these asteroids enter the Earth-Moon system, it is also possible to collide with these spacecraft, so the best way is to put them in the orbit of Mars or Venus, but compared to Mars, in fact, the high-level planets on the earth And Wang Bin and others are more inclined to Venus.

After all, Mars not only has the base of human civilization on Mars, although there is only one now, but there will never be only one in the future. At the same time, the energy of sunlight near Mars is much weaker than that of Earth and Venus. If you want to use the energy of the sun to smelt, it will be much more difficult than near Venus, and it will cost more money and take longer to build. This is definitely not what everyone wants saw.

Following Captain Qiu's order, the Dijiang spacecraft also began to quickly fly towards the discovered asteroid, and during the flight, the spacecraft also released multiple aircraft, and after arriving, it Immediately began to carry out various detections on this news, such as the scanning of spectrometers, etc., to analyze the basic elements of this asteroid.

Soon, the data of these detectors came back.

"Captain! The basic data of the asteroid has been released. According to the data analysis of the spectrometer, this asteroid is a metallic asteroid mainly composed of iron and supplemented by other metal materials. According to the data, this asteroid Contains at least 50% iron, 30% copper, 10% nickel, 2% gold, 1% platinum, One percent of thorium, other than that, is basically composed of ordinary rocks and silicon elements. It can be said that this asteroid does not seem to be large in size, with a diameter of less than fifty meters, but Its value is absolutely priceless, and it is definitely an asteroid worth mining."

"Not bad! Not bad! Unexpectedly, we have gained so much just after entering the asteroid. Presumably, the resources contained in this asteroid belt will definitely greatly exceed our expectations!" After listening to the report, Qiu Jian Chang said happily.

"Yes! Captain! I have a hunch that this asteroid belt will definitely be the best gift God bestows on our human civilization." A young man standing next to Captain Qiu also nodded and said.

"Yes! And I also believe it. Although what we found in this asteroid is basically only the most common metal minerals, but I believe that there must be a lot of rare metals in this asteroid belt, It may even be possible to find elements that are not found on our planet," said another young man.
