Ceres is the main target of their investigation activities in the asteroid belt this time. Now that they have discovered it, they will naturally stop investigating other asteroids and fly directly to Ceres.

As the spaceship they were on slowly approached Ceres, the size of Ceres gradually became larger in everyone's eyes.

After all, Ceres is different from ordinary asteroids. The radius of Ceres can reach 412 million kilometers, and according to the data. Ceres is not only the largest celestial body in the asteroid belt, but also has many resources on it. Even according to observations, there should be a lot of water resources on Ceres.

So from a distance, everyone can clearly see some white bright spots on Ceres, and according to the judgment of everyone on the spacecraft, these bright spots should be solid water existing on the surface of Ceres.

………

Just when the Dijiang spacecraft was slowly approaching the main goal of their trip.

Wang Bin and others who were far away in the earth command center also received the information sent back by the Dijiang spacecraft. "Old Qin! The Dijiang spacecraft, the most important mission of this trip to the asteroid belt, Ceres and the others finally discovered it. I thought they might return without success this time!

After all, Ceres is hidden in the asteroid belt. Even with our existing space detection equipment, we may not be able to find Ceres in the asteroid belt. We can only roughly determine its location! "Wang Bin said.

"Yeah! Unexpectedly, it took so long to find Ceres and the Dijiang spacecraft, but fortunately, it has been found now, and the rest is to investigate Ceres. I hope this investigation of Ceres can be fruitful." A new surprise discovery." Qin Lao said.

For Ceres, in fact, whether it is Wang Bin, Mr. Qin himself, or other people in the command center, they all have very high expectations, expecting to find some surprising things on Ceres, such as confirming that there are water resources in Ceres. The existence of Ceres, for example, can be found to have a large number of rare earth resources.

As for the bigger surprise, neither Wang Bin nor Qin Lao and the others had any expectations.

After all, not every celestial body has elements like Mars that do not exist on the earth. Even if there are, they will not be discovered in a short time. After all, even on Mars, they will conduct drilling after landing It was found hundreds of meters underground.

"Mr. Wang! Now that we have discovered Ceres, should we prepare to build a base on Ceres? After all, in the entire asteroid belt, there are only a few natural celestial bodies suitable for interstellar fortresses and material storage bases." The presence.

Therefore, I think that the construction of such a base will definitely not be completed in a short period of time. It will definitely take several years to complete the construction of such a fortress. If the construction is not started earlier, then once the alien civilization is really If it comes to the solar system, it will be too late.

What's more, according to the plan, in the asteroid belt, besides Ceres, there are at least three such fortresses. Although the other three are not as large as the ones on Ceres, they are not much smaller, so we must The sooner the better. " Qin Lao said.

Just when Mr. Qin finished speaking, other people in the command center also nodded and said.

"As for the construction of the fortress on Ceres, I actually want to go faster, but there is no way. Now we still have a lot of equipment to transport. All our spaceships, even if we add the ones we are building, there are only six ships.

But these six spacecraft, except for the Dijiang spacecraft, which is a scientific research and exploration ship, are all warships for military purposes, not transport ships at all. Therefore, if you want to use these spaceships or warships to transport materials and Equipment, going to the asteroid belt, and building a base on Ceres is simply unrealistic.

In addition, there are other aircrafts. In addition to the super large aerospace aircraft, we have a strong transportation capacity in the universe. Others are either unable to reach the asteroid belt, or there is not much transportation at all. ability, and even no transportation ability at all, so even if we want to immediately build the fortress on Ceres, there is nothing we can do!

You don't want to count on super large aerospace planes for transportation!

You must know that although a super large aerospace plane has a strong transportation capability, it is only an aerospace plane after all, not a professional transport ship. Compared with a professional transport ship, an aerospace plane is too fragile. In the asteroid belt, a random asteroid can destroy a super-large aerospace aircraft, which is absolutely unfeasible.

Therefore, if we want to carry out large-scale construction on Ceres, we can only wait until our space transport ship is manufactured. "Wang Bin said with a frown.

After hearing Wang Bin's words, everyone present frowned. For a while, there was no good solution. After all, what Wang Bin said was true. The current human civilization does not have such a large space transportation capacity. If you want to build large-scale construction in the asteroid belt or even on Ceres, you can only wait until the design and manufacture of the space transport ship is completed.

However, what is even more terrible is that for the sake of human civilization on the spot, it can develop in a balanced manner in the manufacture of spaceships, rather than Tiangong Technology being the only one. Therefore, in terms of space transport ship manufacturing, Tiangong Technology is not responsible Another interstellar origin space transportation company is in charge.

And this interstellar origin space transport company has invested huge funds until now, but still has not designed a space transport ship, which makes everyone present very depressed.

Of course, Wang Bin is also very familiar with this interstellar origin space transportation company. Although this company has only been established for less than three years, the background of this company is not simple. In addition to about 30 shares.

The rest of the shares are all in the hands of multinational corporations around the world, and even Wang Bin owns 10% of the company's shares, so this company has strong scientific research capabilities and a strong background , This is also the reason why everyone is helpless.

"Old Qin, and everyone, I don't know how the design and manufacture progress of the space transport ship on the Interstellar Origin side is going. If the design has not been completed, let them speed up the process. After all, it is not the way to go on like this. It will be a big problem. It is absolutely unacceptable to slow down the progress of our solar system defense plan," Wang Bin said.
