It is precisely because the people in the Dijiang spacecraft are very aware of the dangers in the asteroid belt that naturally reduce the speed to a controllable range.

"Reporting, according to the Ryder detection, we have a lot of money to send you 50,000 yuan to help you find a small star with a diameter of about 20 meters and has a strong metallic reaction. It is very likely to be an asteroid with metal as the main constituent element. Do you need to go and investigate?" Just as everyone was a little bored, the personnel responsible for exploring nearby asteroids reported.

So when this person reported this information, both as the captain of the Dijiang spacecraft, and the others were excited. After all, flying in the empty universe was too boring. Now that they finally discovered a valuable target, they naturally wanted to go and take a look.

So the captain of the Dijiang spacecraft, Captain Qiu, immediately ordered in the bridge: "Adjust adjust the route and approach the target asteroid. Since it is a valuable asteroid, we naturally have to go and conduct exploration."

After saying that, he thought to himself that although scientists on Earth had already inferred that this asteroid belt had a large number of resources, including various strategic rare metal resources.

Now it seems that there is no doubt that the speculations of scientists on Earth before were correct. There are indeed many kinds of them in this asteroid belt. Otherwise, if they enter the asteroid belt, the first asteroid with a diameter of more than 10 meters will have certain value.

You should know that this is an asteroid with a diameter of more than 30 meters, and it is also an asteroid dominated by metal matter, so even the metals in this asteroid are all the most common in the universe, such as iron, copper, magnesium, aluminum, etc., and they all have very high value.

After all, as the Earth civilization began to enter the era of large-scale aerospace, it began to manufacture spacecraft on a large scale, and these spacecraft needed a large amount of metal to make, especially the most common metals in the universe.

It is precisely because of this that the production capacity of various common metals on the earth is seriously insufficient, and at the same time, some minerals have begun to dry up at this time. After all, whether it is various spacecraft, space station, or space cities, they all require a large number of common metals.

As for the mineral bases on the moon, although mining has begun at this time, it can even basically meet the current needs. However, no one knows that with human civilization, the space warships, various aerospace equipment and various alien planet bases they want to manufacture require a large number of various metals, especially common metal materials.

It is precisely because of this that the demand for these common metal materials by human civilization will also increase geometrically. With the current scale of mining of these metal materials, human civilization is far from meeting the future needs, so we must plan ahead and find some metal minerals, especially those in the asteroid belt. After all, compared with other planets, the mining difficulty of asteroids here, especially those with small size, is the least difficult to mine.

At that time, just use small universe aircraft to pull these asteroids into the orbit of Mars or Venus, and then use solar energy to refine them, and you can get a large amount of metal.

As for why it is not the Earth and the Moon, this is also for the safety of the Earth and the Moon. Although it is based on the technology of current human civilization, even if these asteroids are pulled to the Earth or the Moon, they can control these asteroids well so that they will not fall to the Earth or the Moon.

But what if! I say I am not afraid of it, but I am afraid of it. In addition, between the Earth and the Moon or the Earth-Moon system, there are now many space equipment for human civilization, as well as various spacecraft, such as space shuttles and satellites.

Once these asteroids enter the Earth-Moon system and collide with these spacecraft, it is also possible, so the best way is to put them in the orbits of Mars or Venus. However, compared with Mars, the upper levels on Earth and Wang Bin and others are actually more inclined to Venus.

After all, Mars not only has a base for human civilization on Mars. Although there is only one now, there will definitely not be only one in the future. At the same time, the energy illuminated by the sun's light near Mars is much weaker than that of Earth and Venus. As expected, if you want to use the energy of the sun to smel, it will be much more difficult than near Venus, and the funds will be spent, and the construction time will be longer. This is definitely not what everyone wants to see.

......

With Captain Qiu's order, the Dijiang spacecraft began to fly quickly towards the asteroid he discovered. During the flight, the spacecraft also released multiple aircraft, and after reaching it, it immediately began to detect the information, such as scanning the spectrometer, to analyze the basic elements of the asteroid.

Soon, the data from these detectors broke back.

"Captain! The basic data of the asteroid has come out. According to the data analysis of the spectrometer, this asteroid is a metal-based asteroid dominated by iron elements and supplemented by other metal materials. According to the data, this asteroid contains at least 50% of iron elements, about 30% of copper, about 10% of nickel elements, as well as about 2% of gold, one% of platinum, and one% of thorium. In addition, the others are basically composed of ordinary rocks and silicon elements. It can be said that this asteroid does not seem to be large in size and has a diameter of less than 50 meters, but its value is absolutely inconsistent, and it is definitely an asteroid worth mining."

"Not bad! Not bad! I didn't expect that we had gained so much as we entered the asteroid. I believe that the resources contained in this asteroid belt will definitely exceed our expectations!" Captain Qiu said happily after listening to the report.

"Yes! Captain! I have a premonition that this asteroid belt will definitely be the best gift God has given us human civilization." This is a young man standing next to Captain Qiu and nodded and said.
Chapter completed!
