"This asteroid numbered M0001 is not good. Its diameter is more than 130 meters. Although more than 80% of it are iron elements, its mass has far exceeded the limit of our spacecraft's ability to drag, and its mass has reached more than 200 million tons."

Tang Boyuan and Dong Zhifei were looking for a suitable target at this time. As the spacecraft entered the core area of ​​the asteroid belt, more and more asteroids were discovered.

"Look at this one, you're rich, you're rich."

Dong Zhifei excitedly sent the information about an asteroid to Tang Boyuan, and at the same time, he looked like a pig, drooling and shouting.

"If you two have any good things to share, don't just be happy."

"That's right, what's the money?"

The other team members also spoke one by one, but they were helpless that they could not understand the spectral data, nor could they analyze the mass and composition of the asteroid, etc., so they could only be anxious.

"Damn, I'm really rich. Most of the elements of this asteroid number M0823 are gold. Oh my God, this is simply an asteroid made of gold."

"Damn, its mass is too large, more than 200 million tons, and it is not the dish we can eat at all."

Tang Boyuan was very happy at first. If he could bring a gold-filled asteroid back, the entire earth would explode completely. However, when he calculated the mass of the asteroid, he couldn't help but scold him.

"I'll go!"

When the others heard this, they were like a deflated balloon.

"The mass of this asteroid is only 3 million tons, and we can completely drag it, but its mass is too small, and basically the element it constitutes is silicon, which has no value."

"The mass of this asteroid exceeds 10 million tons. Although it is basically made of iron and has a very high value, it exceeds our limits."

Dong Zhifei and Tang Boyuan were very patiently calculating the mass and components of asteroids. Anyway, there were more and more asteroids around them, and there were opportunities to choose.

"According to spectral image analysis, meteorites in the asteroid belt can be roughly divided into three types. The ones that account for more than 60% of all asteroids are C-type asteroids rich in carbon values."

"The number of S-type asteroids containing silicon accounts for about 25%. The spectrum shows that their surface contains silicates and some metals, but the composition of carbonaceous compounds is not obvious. This shows that they are significantly different from the composition of the original solar system, which may be due to the early melting mechanism of the solar system, resulting in differentiation results."

"The total number of M-type asteroids accounts for about 15%. Their spectrum contains iron-nickel-like spectral lines, which are white or slightly red, but have no characteristics of absorption lines. According to speculation, M-type asteroids should be formed by devastating impacts of iron-nickel as the dominant parent of the core."

Based on the spectral information detected by various instruments, scientists have roughly numbers of planets and meteorite structures in the entire asteroid belt. This is a scientific method, and you can already know it clearly from thousands of miles away.

The one that really has a big effect is the smallest number of M-type asteroids. These asteroids contain a large amount of metal resources. According to spectral detection, most asteroids are made of silicon elements and can only be used to make solar power panels and other things.

"Everyone hurry up and take a look. A asteroid with a diameter of about 80 meters was found 2,270 kilometers ahead of us. According to the spectral wavelength color position, this asteroid is actually made of iron elements! The weight of this asteroid is between 9 million tons and 1 million tons, which is definitely our best goal."

Tang Boyuan sent the asteroid data on S0087 on the surface to everyone on the spacecraft, and then screamed excitedly. The whole body made of iron elements and the quality was just right, which was definitely the goal that everyone has always wanted to find.

"The current price of steel is more than 3,000 per ton. This kind of raw ore that has not been refined is brought into space. I think it is a bargain price to calculate 5,000 yuan per ton. No matter how low the transportation cost of aerospace planes is, it is much higher than the ground. This meteorite is 10 million tons. If it is simply calculated, it can be sold at least 50 billion yuan!"

Someone immediately turned his brain and calculated the number. It was just a 50 billion yuan, just an asteroid, a more common asteroid!

"Oh my God! Why do you think this asteroid is full of gold. Any asteroid is worth tens of billions of yuan. Asteroids with iron elements as the main constituent elements account for 15% of the total number, which can be found at will!"

Zhan Fei exclaimed with saliva all over his body!

When the others on the spacecraft heard the numbers, they were shocked one by one. At first, they didn't think how valuable this asteroid with a diameter of less than 100 meters was. Now, they were worth 50 billion. They were all stunned. I don't know how many asteroids like this have encountered along the way.

"The entire asteroid belt is full of gold!"

Luo Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh and kept thinking in his mind. With the rapid development of the space industry and technology, more and more steel is needed in space. It is obviously not possible to transport it from the ground to space. And mining asteroids from asteroids will inevitably become the mainstream, and perhaps his chance will come in the future.

Such thoughts flashed through my mind, and soon, Luo Xiaoyao immediately returned to his calmness.

"All people pay attention, the spacecraft changes direction, we will capture the asteroids."

The distance of more than 2,000 kilometers seems to be very far, but it doesn't take a few minutes for the spacecraft flying in the starry sky to reach the nearest of the asteroid.

The huge butt on Dumbo spacecraft slowly opened, and two small spacecraft roared out, each carrying a long rope on it.

This kind of rope is naturally not an ordinary rope. It is all made of carbon fiber material. A thin carbon fiber can hold a few tons of things. Carbon fiber material is a new fiber material with high strength and high modulus fiber with carbon content of more than 95%. It is made of organic fibers such as sheet graphite microcrystals piled up along the axial direction of the fiber and obtained by carbonization and graphitization.

Carbon fiber is "soft on the outside and hard on the inside", with a lighter mass than metal aluminum, but has higher strength than steel, and has corrosion resistance and high modulus. More importantly, it not only has the inherent intrinsic characteristics of carbon materials, but also has the soft and soft processability of textile fibers. It is a new generation of reinforced fibers.

Before departure, Fuyun Group had already formulated a detailed method to mine asteroids. First, use this high-strength carbon fiber rope to weave a small spacecraft into a net on it, and then use the spacecraft to remove the asteroid from its original trajectory.

Finally, rely on the universal gravity of the solar system to calculate the position, so that the asteroid can re-form a new orbit passing through the earth. When the asteroid is about to reach the earth, drag the asteroid again, and then rely on the gravity of the earth to capture the asteroid, forming an orbit around the earth, and becoming a satellite on the earth. In this way, even if the capture of the asteroid is completed, the rest can be handed over to the solar power field to use reflected solar light to smelters.

Two small spacecraft slowly flew to the asteroid's position. These two spacecraft will be responsible for weaving nets for the asteroid and wrapping the asteroid with carbon fiber ropes.

"Swish!Swish!"

A steel fork was launched from each spacecraft, and the steel fork was deeply pierced into the asteroid by inertia. A long carbon fiber rope was dragged behind the steel fork. Then the two spacecraft began to circumnavigate around the asteroid, one circle after another, and soon tens of times were entangled.

Then the two universes began to fly around each other and entangled the two ropes again, slowly flying into the Dumbo spacecraft.

In the Dumbo spacecraft, the mechanical arm began to wrap the rope behind the small spacecraft and fix it on the support of the spacecraft. At this time, the rope connected the Dumbo spacecraft and the asteroid, but the rope was not tightened, so there was no big impact between each other.

All of this seems very simple to say, but it is actually full of risks, and it is definitely not so easy. Not to mention anything else, you should know that the spacecraft and asteroid are constantly moving at this time, and their speeds are very fast, so first of all, you must adjust the speed and direction of both to the same level so that you can achieve a state of staticity between each other.

Then using small spacecraft to entangle asteroids is full of risks. Asteroids generally have autobiography in addition to their orbits. If you are not careful, it may cause major accidents such as dragging and colliding the small spacecraft.

There are also two small spacecrafts that are wrapped around each other and weaving ropes, which also require very high flying skills. At the same time, the performance requirements for the spacecraft are also very high.

You should know that this is in the void of the universe, not on the earth. There is no air, no southeast, northwest, up, down, left and right, etc. It is not easy to change the direction at will.

Although the risks are very high, the technological equipment on Dumboy is the most advanced and is the most advanced technology crystallization of Fuyun Group. In addition, the crew on the spacecraft are carefully selected, and everyone has rich experience in space, so they can complete all this smoothly.

"The rope is fixed!"

“Start the engine!”

As Luo Xiaoyao's order was issued, everyone began to become nervous. Although according to theoretical calculations, Dumbo can completely drag this asteroid weighing nearly 10 million tons, this is just theoretical data. Everyone is still quite panicked when they actually operate, because it is related to everyone's value and life.
