Chapter 635 Interstellar Mining II
"Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's continue heading towards Mars, Li Tao! Accelerate immediately, Zhao Min! Monitor the status of all conditions within 2,000 kilometers around the spacecraft at any time, and report immediately if a small star exceeding 50 centimeters is found.
." Cheng Fei ordered after hearing that everyone agreed to continue moving towards Mars in order to capture more asteroids.
Although the ownership of the Tengfei space mining ship belongs to him, even so, whatever he wants to do must be done with the consent of the entire crew. After all, this is in the vast universe and can be done at any time.
There may be dangers discovered. Once he makes a decision privately without seeking the consent of the crew, once there is a casualty, he will be legally responsible and must pay high pensions, and these insurance companies are not willing to
Compensation will be paid.
But if the consent of all the crew members is obtained, then things will become much simpler. Even if there is any danger to the spaceship? It causes casualties to the crew members in the spacecraft, the price he has to pay will be much smaller.
, First of all, the first one is that criminal liability is exempted, and at the same time, insurance companies are responsible for most of the compensation and pensions.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if he is the captain of this spaceship, he must obtain the consent of the crew.
Just when they set off again, not even half a day later, they discovered several small stars one after another. However, the weight and volume of these small stars were much smaller than the first one they discovered, and they were in various shapes.
There was basically no metal content, but even so, they did not give up on these asteroids and caught them all in one go.
After all, this is their mission. Even if these meteorites have no value and are not worth a lot of money, they will still get a very large subsidy for bringing these meteorites back. What's more, even if they are worthless, they will still receive a very large subsidy.
Planets are actually valuable. Even those ice meteorites that are simply composed of water and cosmic dust are of great value.
When Cheng Fei and his Tengfei space mining ship once again successfully captured an asteroid with a diameter of about 5 meters, Cheng Fei looked at his mobile phone and found that they had arrived at the Nantianmen Space Station since they came out.
More than 12 hours have passed so far. At the same time, he also noticed that the faces of the crew members in the spacecraft already showed tired looks. After all, this was in space, not on the earth. What's more, during this period,
They were on very high alert at all times, so the crew was naturally very tired at this time.
So he raised his head and said to the crew members in their Ascension spacecraft: "Everyone, please pay attention. Although it has only been just over 12 hours since we came out, in these short 12 hours
, the cabins in our Tengfei spacecraft are already half full, so everyone should rest for 8 hours first. Li Tao, please design the flight trajectory and route of the spacecraft, then start the intelligent program and hand over the spacecraft to the intelligent program management.
, and activate the intelligent alarm system."
"Okay, boss." After saying that, Li Tao started the spacecraft's intelligent control and alarm system, then came to the lounge in the spacecraft and got into a sleeping bag to rest.
But just after Cheng Fei took off and the crew of the space mining ship rested for less than 5 hours, the alarm system in the spacecraft rang sharply.
The spacecraft's alarm system woke up everyone on board, and everyone quickly came to the bridge of the spacecraft from the lounge.
"What's going on? Xiao Wang immediately sent the detected data to the virtual video." After Cheng Fei put on his clothes, he hurried to the bridge of the spacecraft, and then said to the very operator, Xiao Wang
asked.
"The boss is in front of the left side of our spacecraft. The radar detected a small star with a very large diameter. According to the radar data, the diameter of this asteroid is even larger than the size of the spacecraft we are on, which is the Tengfei space mining ship.
It's still big, and according to the data from the spectrometer, this asteroid contains a lot of metal elements, at least 65%." As he spoke, Xiao Wang sent all the data detected by the radar and the data from the spectrometer to the bridge of the spacecraft.
on the central virtual screen.
When Xiao Wang sent the data to the virtual screen, an asteroid with a diameter of hundreds of meters appeared on the virtual screen, and the colors of each part of the asteroid were slightly different. Based on these colors, it can be inferred that the asteroid
It definitely contains a large amount of metal elements. Of course, the most abundant of these metal elements is iron, the most common element in the universe. In addition, this asteroid also contains a large amount of aluminum and other metal elements, and even
There are a small number of strategic rare elements.
"Xiao Li, analyze the weight of this asteroid immediately to see if our spacecraft has the ability to drag this asteroid away after takeoff." When he saw the data on the virtual screen of the spacecraft, he clicked on the spectrometer data.
After that, Cheng Fei suddenly became excited, because according to the analysis of the spectrometer, the value of this asteroid was definitely very high, even if it was the first asteroid they captured before, that is, the one containing radioactive elements.
Still high.
Soon, Xiao Li got the basic data of the asteroid, so he reported to Cheng Fei: "Based on the analysis of the spacecraft system, the boss found that the flight speed of this asteroid is about 17 kilometers per second, and the rotation speed is 36 hours.
50 minutes, maximum diameter 119. The weight of this asteroid is about six to eight million tons, which is right within the maximum weight that our spacecraft can drag."
"Okay, everyone, get ready. Li Tao immediately adjusted the route of the spacecraft and began to reduce its speed, preparing to capture this little star." Cheng Fei immediately ordered the crew happily.
Soon, their Tengfei spacecraft arrived next to the asteroid, and when the spacecraft arrived next to the asteroid, the 203mm cannon on the spacecraft immediately shot dozens of special high-speed cannons at the asteroid.
Metal ropes made of strong metal, these metal ropes are cut with a high-strength barbed spear made of special metal.
Under the action of the artillery, these spears penetrated into the interior of the asteroid at once, and dozens of high-strength metal ropes were enough for the spacecraft to drag the asteroid.
Since the asteroid's rotation speed is very slow, and the size and weight of the asteroid are not very large, both of which are within the bearing range of the spacecraft, after these spears penetrate the inside of the asteroid, the spacecraft's engine starts to
