"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1! Launch!" China's Satellite Launch Center once again achieved a successful launch, with a recyclable rocket carrying more than a dozen resource detection satellites

Ascending into space, this news did not attract too many people's attention! Because China has launched too many satellites in recent years!

Reporters also regarded these satellites as the same exploration of earth resources as the previous ones. If they knew that these satellites were heading to the asteroid belt, the world would be in trouble again, right?

Although several space resource companies from Luxembourg and the United States have launched several detection satellites to the asteroid belt for detection in the past, I am afraid that no one will believe that with their strength, space mining can be realized in a short time! But Xihe

The plan is different!

The strength of the Hua Kingdom is far beyond theirs. More importantly, it is Lu Qiujian who presides over Xihe’s plan. He has created too many miracles in his hands over the years! As soon as this news is released, people all over the world will

The stocks of the big mining group are guaranteed to plummet rapidly! Because everyone believes that Lu Qiujian will make this plan a reality.

"Hey, Brother Liu, you said that an ore planet was discovered in space! How to transport the ore back to the earth? It would be too uneconomical to put in such a big effort just to transport the ore, right?" Fan Yihang was at the base of the Xihe Project.

Among them, he met his old acquaintance Liu Ge, who had taken him to the Congo in the first place.

When he was on the ocean liner, Brother Liu still dreamed of mining in Antarctica one day! Unexpectedly, just a few years later, they would go into space mining! Brother Liu still can't believe the reality. He squatted in the smoking room

, looking up at the ceiling, watching the smoke rings gradually dissipate, "Yes

Ah, even if the mine is a platinum mine! According to data fed back by satellites, 1 ton of rock contains approximately 28 grams of platinum; in the international market, the price of every 28 grams of platinum is US$1,500! But transporting a meal of ore

How much does it cost to return to Earth? It’s not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it!”

"Unless the smelting of ore is completed in space! Judging from the current launch costs, there is still a considerable profit margin in transporting finished platinum ingots, gold ingots or diamonds back to Earth!" Fan Yihang guessed, "But how to do it in space?

What about smelting in space? How to solve the energy problem? How to remove impurities in the ore?"

"These are not things I can worry about! But since we are here, Professor Lu must have a solution, right?" After speaking, Brother Liu stood up, flicked his finger, and the cigarette butt fell accurately into the ashtray.

"Let's go, the afternoon training is about to start again! Hey, I didn't expect that I, Liu, would still have a day in space!"

A year and a half later, the Pixiu spacecraft, led by captain Yi Meng, entered space and flew towards the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter! In addition to the astronauts, Fan Yihang, Liu Ge and others also passed

The space of training and assessment

Miners! The goal of their trip is an asteroid with a diameter of 420 meters and rich in platinum, nickel, iron and other metal minerals! They want to smelt this asteroid worth US$2.42 trillion into a metal ingot belt

Back to Earth!

Why is it called Pixiu? That’s because in ancient Chinese mythology, Pixiu is a gold-swallowing beast that likes to swallow all kinds of precious metals. Naming the spacecraft with this name is also to bring good luck.

Just when the spacecraft was successfully launched, the Chinese government suddenly announced a large-scale purchase of platinum from Chinese people at a guaranteed price. For a time, the price of platinum in the international market skyrocketed! Those investors thought that China had discovered a new use for platinum.

purpose, and immediately launched a crazy premium acquisition.

The Chinese government did not interfere in this matter and allowed those multinational companies to purchase platinum in the country. At the same time, it increased the management of domestic platinum mines and closed a number of small-scale and polluting platinum mines! It has also repeatedly warned the people,

Be sure to sell all the platinum in your hands within this year!

It’s just that some people listened to the country’s call and sold the platinum they stored to foreign companies that purchased it at a higher price! Some patriotic citizens thought that the country needed platinum for great uses, and would rather hand it over to them at a certain economic loss.

The country! It makes the country’s acquisition personnel dumbfounded!

If you try to persuade them to sell platinum to a foreign company, they will stare and curse these staff for cheating. They must have received the benefits of the foreign company!

Of course, some people, like those foreign companies, believe that platinum has a lot of room for appreciation. The louder the country shouts, the more they hide the platinum and refuse to sell it! Some clever ones not only refuse to sell it, but also find ways to get it from others.

Buy platinum!

Those high-level officials who knew the truth could only shake their heads and smile bitterly! They had to issue statements again and again calling on them to take action as soon as possible! But the effect was mediocre! In the end, they could only let it go. The opportunity has been given to you. Now the vast majority of the people

They have already released the platinum in their hands, and a few greedy people will bear the consequences themselves! Fortunately, the people who will suffer the most will not be the citizens of China!

As time goes by, the mining spacecraft Pixiu is getting closer and closer to the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter! The Chinese government also released this news in a timely manner and announced that where Pixiu is going is for space mining!

There is abundant platinum somewhere. As soon as this news came out, those who speculated about platinum were immediately confused.

The international platinum price plummeted immediately, jumping back to the level before China announced the recycling of platinum! Many companies and individuals who purchased platinum were in tears.

Of course they were unwilling to admit defeat and immediately used various channels to argue that the news from China was just to lower the purchase price of platinum! Didn’t you see that the Chinese government’s acquisitions have not stopped yet?

Under their hype, the price of platinum began to slowly rise; at this time, Pixiu had entered the orbit of the asteroid, and countless mining robots were released. Under the frenzy of Fan Yihang and others,

Land on the surface of the asteroid and get to work!

These centipede-like mining robots climbed up and down, in and out of the asteroid. It didn't take long before the asteroid was riddled with holes, and tons after tons of ore were mined by them.

, and quickly accumulated enough smelting weight.

At this time, Fan Yihang directed the smelting team to transport the smelting equipment from the Pixiu mining spacecraft. They planned to use this advanced equipment to smelt the ore into platinum ingots here, and then transport these platinum ingots back to Earth!
Chapter completed!
