"Although this asteroid is not big, it can even be said to be a little small, only less than 30 meters, but I'm sure, if we capture this asteroid and bring it back to Earth, it will definitely be worth a lot of money!" At this moment, a strange voice came from a young man sitting on a chair.

"I think so, at least it should be worth a few hundred million yuan! After all, in addition to the main substance, iron, there are many other elements on this asteroid, and there are even some high-value attracting substances and precious metals substance."

"Don't think about it, let's calculate it. The maximum diameter of this asteroid is about 35 meters, and its weight is about more than 100,000 tons. Let's calculate it as 100,000 tons.

According to the data, the iron content of this asteroid is 50%, so the weight of iron alone has reached more than 50,000 tons.

And now the price of iron on the earth has reached nearly 4,000, that is to say, the value of iron in this asteroid alone has reached nearly 300 million. If you add this asteroid, the price of other ores , and its total price is definitely more than one billion! "Because the distance between the spacecraft and the asteroid is getting closer and closer at this time, the data of the size of the asteroid has been changed many times by the spacecraft, so its volume has naturally changed.

After all, asteroids are not purely circular, but have irregular shapes, so the previous detections have large errors.

In fact, the maximum length of this asteroid is about 60 meters, the maximum width is about 35 meters, and the maximum height is only about 20 meters.

"My God, this asteroid is so valuable. You know, this asteroid is just an inconspicuous asteroid in the asteroid belt, and it is already very small in terms of size. Wouldn't those larger asteroids be more valuable.

You must know that the total weight of those news starts in the billions, and even asteroids exceeding one billion billion tons are everywhere in the entire asteroid belt! "At this time, someone exclaimed.

It’s really not that they don’t know, they were taken aback, they really couldn’t believe that the price of this small asteroid in front of them was so terrifying, it actually exceeded one billion, which definitely surpassed everyone imagination.

However, in the asteroid belt, there are countless asteroids that are larger than this asteroid. Even if they contain metal substances or strategically rare substances, there are definitely many asteroids.

"I really want to take this asteroid back. I'll make a fortune!" said a young spaceship pilot on the bridge.

"Xiao Han, you are dreaming! Let alone other things, although the size of this asteroid is not big,

The weight is only tens of thousands of tons, but it is impossible to take this asteroid back in our current situation. After all, our Dijiang is not a spacecraft specialized in transportation. It's a scientific research ship! said another young man.

Although it is said that the people inside the Dijiang spacecraft were chatting vigorously at this time, but when the spacecraft finally arrived at less than ten meters away from the asteroid, everyone in the spacecraft stopped chatting and started chatting. Carefully used various equipment to monitor the asteroid, and even launched a miniature unmanned spacecraft to collect some materials from many places on the asteroid, so that they can be inspected in more detail after returning.

Of course, after the detection was completed, they did not forget to mark the asteroid and directly launch positioning equipment to the asteroid for future search.

After that, they began to fly deeper into the asteroid belt, and during the flight, once they encountered relatively large asteroids, they would also detect these asteroids.

When they were about to reach the center of the asteroid, they found that in the asteroid belt, there were not many asteroids containing metal substances, and it could even be said that there were a lot of asteroids. There are also a lot of strategic elements here.

This makes them very happy, because it means that in the future, as long as human civilization develops the asteroid belt, the difficulties of human civilization in terms of these resources will be resolved.

Of course, that is only a matter of the future. After all, with the technology of human civilization, although it can be mined, it is very difficult, and the cost is much higher than that obtained by collecting these resources.

At this time, as the spacecraft was getting closer to the center of the asteroid belt, as the captain of the Dijiang spacecraft, who was investigating the asteroid belt this time, he was feeling more and more anxious.

Because they came to the asteroid belt for investigation this time, the main goal of the investigation is also their most important task, the investigation of Ceres.

Until now, they have been in the asteroid belt for almost two months, but they have not found the existence of the target asteroid, which made them doubt whether the data changed by the earth is correct, because according to the The modified data shows that at this time, Ceres in the asteroid belt should be in this area.

But they have wandered around this area for such a long time, and they still haven't found Ceres. Everyone in the entire spaceship is a little frustrated, and some people have already started discussing whether they can find the target during this trip.

But the good thing is that in the black ship, when people were panicking, the radar alarm in the spaceship finally sounded, and everyone in the spaceship, including himself, was refreshed.

The alarm sound issued by the radar this time is different from the previous ones, but the alarm issued after the discovery of a supermassive asteroid.

Sure enough, just as he thought, at the same time as Leda's siren sounded, the radar soldier of the spacecraft also shouted loudly: "The report found a super-large asteroid. According to the data comparison, it should be the main goal of our trip. Ceres."

You must know that Ceres is the only dwarf planet located in the asteroid, and its mass is much higher than that of other asteroids in the asteroid belt. It was even once considered the largest known asteroid in the solar system.

With the discovery of Ceres, the personnel of all departments in the spacecraft suddenly became busy. After all, this is their main purpose of coming to Xiaoxin this time.

Although the spacecraft is still very far away from Ceres at this time, reaching hundreds of thousands of kilometers, it will take a few days to reach it at the current speed of the spacecraft. After all, they dare not be careless when navigating in the asteroid belt. Even after discovering the main goal of this trip, they didn't dare to speed up, and they were still flying cautiously.
