"Liu Yuan, order a C-type spaceship for me. If you want to order it, it will naturally have to be larger. Do you want to sell this Star Catcher?"
"This is definitely not for sale, not for sale, not for sale."
"You've always been like this. Really good things are always hidden, and you can't bear to take them out. The Starcatcher can catch 200 million tons of asteroids, but the largest one sold to us can only catch 100 million tons."
tons of asteroids.”
"The Star Catcher is designed and manufactured independently. It is a unique product. What is sold to everyone is a trademark product, and of course there are differences."
"You, you, I don't believe it~"
"By the way, are there really asteroids in the asteroid belt that contain a lot of gold?"
"That's for sure. Just ask some scientists and you will know that the asteroid belt is supposed to form a planet like the Earth, but it has never been able to form because of Jupiter's super strong gravity."
"The gold reserves on the earth are actually very amazing. In other words, there is also a lot of gold in the asteroid belt."
"As long as you say so, the spaceship I ordered will definitely be the first to be delivered, right?"
"Lao Wang has already booked a boat with me, and yours is behind him."
"This Lao Wang is really fast."
"..."
Liu Yuan ended the meeting and call with Lei Zheng in the virtual world. Everyone came to him like crazy. Tens of billions, hundreds of billions of spaceships were placed one after another, as if money was all gone.
It's not the same as money.
For these elders, they may not have a lot of money, but the resources they have at their disposal are extremely huge. They can spend tens of billions or hundreds of billions.
"Well, everyone is attracted to mine asteroids. In this way, there will be more spaceships in space, and more resources will be mined. I can build spaceships faster.
.”
After thinking about it, Liu Yuan also felt that this was a good thing and the effect he wanted to achieve.
Mining asteroids is actually the same as mining on earth, both are mining resources.
But there are differences.
The mineral resources on the earth have basically been controlled and divided up by people. If you want to rob them again, it is basically impossible.
Domestic mineral resources are state-owned. Some of the mineral resources outside the country are owned by the local state, and some belong to local giants. You can't get involved even if you have money.
The mining of mineral resources is actually very profitable, and it is easy and quick to make money without any technical content.
You must know that the richest people in many parts of the world are inseparable from the mineral resources they control and are mineral resource tycoons.
Such as oil tycoons, natural gas tycoons, mining giants, etc., these can easily and simply make a fortune by occupying certain important resources.
This is very different from doing business. Doing business also requires learning to operate, control costs, engage in marketing, etc. Only in this way can the company become bigger and stronger.
You don't need these at all to mine resources. As long as you occupy the resources, you can just sit back and slowly mine the resources to make a profit.
Sometimes they even feel that the price of mineral resources is too low, and deliberately reduce production to reduce supply and increase prices in order to obtain more profits.
This is the characteristic of the mining industry, and it is also the reason why those capitalists are so crazy.
Just like the development of the lunar mining industry, everyone saw a great opportunity to make money easily and stably.
Domestic mineral resources are state-owned and are developed by state-owned enterprises and central enterprises. It is difficult for private individuals to enter these fields.
Now that there is an opportunity to go to interstellar mining and mine interstellar resources on a large scale, no one is willing to give up such an opportunity.
You must know that the resources on earth are limited, but the resources in the interstellar universe are unlimited.
Now is an era that has just begun to emerge. As long as we seize the opportunity, there is great hope and opportunity to become an interstellar mining giant in the future.
Mining in the interstellar universe does not need to be subject to any legal restrictions, because the resources in the interstellar universe do not belong to anyone. Whoever mines them belongs to whom. If they are sold directly internationally, they do not even have to pay taxes. In this way
Good deals are hard to find anywhere in the world.
This is the reason why everyone hurriedly came to Liu Yuan. They just took a fancy to the huge prospects and super high and stable returns of the interstellar mining industry.
Just like the minerals we have on the moon now, this is a valuable asset that will never be sold easily. By occupying a piece of land on the moon, we can slowly and continuously develop the resources on it. Compared with mining on the earth,
The resources are even better.
"We need to hurry up and expand production to produce more spacecrafts. In addition, we need to build space factories, large Mars bases, solar power stations, etc. on Mars."
"There are so many things to do next."
Thinking of these things, Liu Yuan felt overwhelmed again. There were too many things and he needed to be very busy.
There is no way, for the sake of my future foundation and for myself to be able to control myself, I must work hard to do these things now.
When domestic capital and bosses are like sharks smelling blood, they are thinking about buying spaceships to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids, but there is a cry of mourning internationally.
On that day, when Xinghai Technology successfully smelted the asteroid, the whole world saw a new era of interstellar resources.
Metal futures such as iron, copper, gold, silver, aluminum, etc. in the international futures market almost plummeted in response. The decline was so large that it even fell back to the price of last year.
You must know that the large-scale production and popularization of aircraft has led to a surge in the metal futures market, which has continued to rise for more than a year. The current price is more than double that of last year.
However, now it has been cut in half, and the price has fallen directly back to last year's price, and this plummeting continues, plummeting at a very fast speed.
No one in the world is a fool.
The era of interstellar resources mentioned by Xinghai Technology has arrived. Xinghai Technology can go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids and come back, and others can also go.
Although it's just the beginning now, it has shown itself to be extremely scary from the beginning.
It's just an asteroid that was mined. The iron ore resources contained on it weighed 200 million tons, which was one-tenth of the global steel production last year.
This is just the beginning, and it is just what a spacecraft brings back from a trip to the asteroid.
In the future, more and more people will inevitably participate, and more and more spacecraft will go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids and return.
At that time, more asteroids, iron ore, copper ore, aluminum ore, etc. will be brought back. I don’t know how many. The iron ore brought to the earth may be 2 billion tons, 20 billion tons, or even 200 billion.
Ton or 2 trillion tons are completely possible without any problems.
There are also gold and silver, the prices are very high, mainly because the amount of mining on the earth is very small.
Now Xinghai Technology has directly discovered an asteroid containing 100 million tons of gold in the asteroid belt. If this asteroid is mined back, the price of gold will inevitably plummet.
Scientists have also expressed many views and opinions one after another. They believe that the resources and minerals in the asteroid belt are very rich, which are not inferior to the resources on the earth. More importantly, the resources on the earth are basically buried deep underground and are difficult to recover.
Mining, but the resources in the asteroid belt are very easy to mine.
In addition, the resources in the interstellar universe are not only limited to the asteroid belt, but also to several major planets in the solar system, such as the resources on Mars. Currently, Xinghai Technology has established a base on Mars and is exploring Mars resources.
It is possible that resources will be mined on Mars.
In addition, the resources contained in the Coinber belt and Oort cloud belt of the solar system are even greater. There are countless resources, which can be said to be almost endless.
As Xinghai Technology said, in the interstellar universe era, the resources that humans can control will be a thousand times, ten thousand times, or even billions of times that of the home star era. The prices of related mineral resources will naturally fall sharply.
.
It's just the beginning now, because the activity of mining asteroids has just begun. It has not started on a large scale yet. In another year or two, the price of mineral resources will continue to fall, maybe even lower than the price of cabbage.
It's all going to be cheaper.
Gold is plummeting, silver is plummeting, and the prices of metal resources such as copper, iron, and aluminum are also plummeting. Almost overnight, they have returned to the prices at the beginning of last year. This has made the global economy, which was not very prosperous, even worse.
, which also made all the international mining giants feel the impact of dimensionality reduction.
In an Australian manor, a group of international mining giants gathered together to discuss the current situation.
"The price of gold fell by more than 50%, and the impact was very large."
"Iron ore has suffered the worst fall, and has now fallen by nearly 70%. The key is that the world's largest iron ore consumer has begun to significantly reduce the import of iron ore. Even if the price falls, sales have become a problem. They
We must be the first to use iron ore from space, so there is no rush to buy our iron ore."
"This also means that the current mineral resources are not just a matter of falling prices, but also that there are no buyers, and no one wants our goods."
Harry, the president of Billiton Group, looked at the people in front of him and helplessly said an even more terrifying thing.
Compared with the price drop, the really scary thing is that there are no buyers, which means that their ore can only rot in their hands, and they can't even think of selling a single piece of ore.
"They just don't buy our ores now. When the Orientals can mine resources from the asteroid belt on a large scale, they will in turn dump cheap resources on a large scale around the world."
"Gentlemen, be prepared to drink the northwest wind!"
