Ceres is the main target of their visit to the asteroid belt for investigation activities this time. Since they have discovered it, they will naturally no longer investigate other asteroids, but will fly directly towards Ceres.

As the spaceship they were riding 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. According to data, Ceres is not just the largest celestial body in the asteroid belt, but also has many resources on it. Even according to observations, Ceres should have a large amount of water resources.

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

………

Just as the Dijiang spacecraft was slowly approaching their main target of this trip.

Wang Bin and others who were far away in the command center of the Earth also received the message sent back by the Dijiang spacecraft. "Old Qin! Dijiang spacecraft, the most important mission to this 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 the various space exploration equipment we have in it, Ceres may not be able to discover its existence in the asteroid belt. It can only be roughly determined!” Wang Bin said.

"Yes! I didn't expect that it took so long to just look for Ceres and the Dijiang spacecraft. Fortunately, I have found it now, and the rest is to investigate Ceres. I hope that this inspection of Ceres will make new surprise discoveries." Old Qin said.

In fact, whether it is Wang Bin, Qin Lao himself, and others in the command center, they all have great expectations, hoping to find some surprising things on Ceres, such as confirming that there are water resources in Ceres, and for example, it can be discovered that Ceres has a large number of rare earth resources.

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

After all, not every celestial body has elements that do not exist on Earth like Mars. Even if there is one, it will not be discovered in a short time. After all, even Mars, they discovered them several hundred meters underground when they were drilling after landing.

"Mr. Wang! Since we have discovered Ceres, should we prepare for the construction of a base on Ceres? After all, in the entire asteroid belt, there are only a few natural celestial bodies suitable for the existence of interstellar fortresses and material storage bases.

Therefore, I think building such a base will definitely not be completed in a short time. Building such a fortress will definitely take several years to complete. If construction is not started earlier, then once alien civilizations really come to the solar system, it will be too late.

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

Just as Mr. Qin finished speaking, the others in the command center nodded and said.

"I actually want to build Ceres fortresses faster, but there is no way. The equipment we transport is still very small. Even if we add all our spaceships to the ones we are under construction, there are only six.

However, except for the Dijiang spacecraft, which is a scientific research and exploration ship, the other six spacecraft are all military-purpose warships, not transport ships at all. It is not realistic to use these spacecraft or warship transportation materials and equipment to go to the asteroid belt and build a base on Ceres.

In addition, there are other aircraft. In addition to super-large aerospace planes, we now have strong transportation capabilities in the universe, either we cannot reach the asteroid belt, or we do not have much transportation capabilities at all, or we do not have transportation capabilities at all. So even if we want to build the fortress of Ceres immediately, we can’t do anything about it!

You won’t want to count on super-large aerospace planes to transport them!

You should know that although super-large aerospace planes have strong transportation capabilities, they are just an aerospace plane after all, not a professional transport ship. Compared with professional transport ships, aerospace planes are too fragile. In the asteroid belt, a casual asteroid can cause super-large aerospace planes to be destroyed and killed, which is absolutely not feasible.

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

After hearing Wang Bin's words, everyone present frowned. For a moment, there was no good way. After all, what Wang Bin said was the fact that the current human civilization does not have such a large capacity for cosmic transportation. If you want to build on a large scale in the asteroid belt or even on Ceres, you can only wait until the cosmic transport ship is designed and manufactured.

However, what is even more serious is that for the sake of human civilization, it can develop balancedly in the manufacturing of spacecraft, rather than Tiangong Technology as the only one. Therefore, in terms of manufacturing space transport ships, Tiangong Technology is not responsible for the responsibility of Tiangong Technology, but another interstellar origin space transport company.

This Star Origin Space Transport Company has invested huge amounts of money until now, but it 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 universe transportation company. Although this company has only been established for less than three years, the background of this company is not simple, except for the official ownership of about 30% of the shares.

The other shares are all in the hands of multinational companies in the world, and even Wang Bin has 10% of the shares of this company. Therefore, this company has strong scientific research strength and strong background, which is also the reason why everyone is helpless.
