Time is passing slowly, and the Qinglong is dragging the asteroid closer and closer to the earth. The entire outer space of the earth is also busy, and all countries in the world are watching.
"Countdown to 10 seconds~"
On the Qinglong spacecraft, Wu Renjie said loudly to everyone.
At this time, under the drag of the Qinglong spacecraft, the asteroid's speed has been reduced to only a few kilometers per second, which is fast enough to be captured by the Earth's strong gravity.
Everyone has become nervous. Whether it can succeed or not is an important event related to mankind's move towards interstellar space. Once it fails, mining asteroids will most likely become taboo in the future. But once it succeeds, in the general trend of huge interests,
Next, the whole world will be set off a wave of craze for mining asteroids, and the entire human race will truly enter the interstellar space age.
"3~"
"2~"
"1~"
On the Qinglong spacecraft, the countdown sound kept ringing. Wu Renjie and others looked at the dazzling blue planet outside, but their minds were constantly paying attention to the movements of the asteroid.
As the countdown came to 1, everyone on the Qinglong spacecraft only felt a vibration in the spacecraft. The flight orbit of the spacecraft changed. The huge gravity of the earth captured the spacecraft and the asteroid, and entered the earth's orbit very smoothly.
It has become a satellite orbiting the earth, similar to the moon, but the mass and size are too different.
"Haha~success!"
Long Zhankong was the first to jump up happily. The computer calculated the new orbit of the asteroid in the shortest time, and it was now certain that it was captured by the earth's gravity.
"Huh~"
Qin Yi, who was in the space city, also breathed a sigh of relief, and then bursts of deafening cheers came from around him.
"Success!"
Liu Peiqiang, Lu Qingwei, Zhang Jian, Yang Hongyan and other scientists and engineers from the Galaxy Research Institute were all dancing with excitement. It can be said that everyone has been working hard for several years for this moment.
From the beginning of building the Dragon Nest Space Factory, to researching the second-generation anti-gravity engine, manufacturing the second-generation anti-gravity engine, and then manufacturing the Qinglong spacecraft, it took almost several years.
"Thank you for your hard work, I will give you a holiday and have a good rest later."
Qin Yi smiled and said to everyone.
"Yeah~"
Hearing that Qin Yi was going to give everyone a holiday, there was another round of cheers.
On Earth, in a secret private club in the Chinese imperial capital, Ji Rong, Lao Wang, Lao Ma and other super rich Chinese people gathered together. Everyone looked at the huge monitor. The content played on the monitor was from space.
Photographed footage of the Qingryu spacecraft.
"Everyone, it has just been confirmed that the asteroid dragged back by the Qinglong spacecraft has safely entered the earth's orbit and has become a satellite orbiting the earth. It does not pose any threat to the earth."
A man with eyes hurriedly walked in and announced very loudly to everyone present.
"I know that with Brother Qin's usual style, he will never do anything that he is not sure of."
Ji Rong smiled and nodded.
"Brother Qin has made a fortune this time. The mass of this asteroid reaches 150 million tons. According to the analysis of scientists, this asteroid is almost made of iron. These 150 million tons of iron are still iron in space.
Selling for 3,000 yuan per ton should not be excessive at all, which means that this asteroid is worth 450 billion Chinese yuan."
"In just three months, more than 20 people were able to drag back 450 billion Chinese dollars from the asteroid belt. This is faster than printing money. Are you really not impressed?"
As Lao Wang said this, he couldn't help but wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
When Qin Yi promoted the Qinglong spacecraft to him and Ji Rong a few months ago, they thought it was very expensive and didn't want to pay for it no matter what Qin Yi said.
But when the Cleanup dragged an asteroid back to Earth, and after a simple calculation by scientists, the asteroid was worth 450 billion, Lao Wang and Ji Rong could no longer sit still, so they
With this party.
With the strong appeal of the two people, they called all the super rich people in China over, and everyone made a fortune together. There was no other way. The price of this spaceship was too expensive. Qin Yi originally offered 2 trillion. Such a sky-high price, even if
Even for the world's top richest people like Ji Rong and Lao Wang, the pressure is huge.
It is true that they have money, but their wealth is in the form of stocks, and it is not easy to realize it, especially with such a huge demand for funds. Once the stocks are sold crazily, the stock market will fluctuate violently, and the stock prices will plummet.
How to raise such a huge amount of funds.
Therefore, you must invite other people to make a fortune together, which will reduce the pressure and reduce the risks.
"Qin Yi really told you that he would sell you a spaceship for 2 trillion?"
Brother Ma thought for a while and asked.
"Well, just a few months ago, Lao Ji and I thought this spaceship was very expensive, and we didn't want to buy it no matter what. Now we're filled with regret."
Lao Wang nodded and said.
"It takes about 3 months to go back and forth to the asteroid belt, and you can go back and forth almost four times a year. If you can achieve this kind of harvest every time, you can harvest almost trillions of Chinese dollars this year. This
The investment is only 2 trillion yuan, and the cost can be recovered in two years. It will be profitable in the future. This business can be done."
Everyone present is a smart person. Not only have they seen the data here, they have also listened to the detailed reports and analyzes of their own people before coming back. Even with the simplest calculation, everyone is as good as the old man.
He was almost like a king and his mouth was watering.
"I'll give you 200 billion~"
Brother Ma was the first to raise his hand, and it was 200 billion Chinese dollars.
"I will offer 100 billion~"
"I will offer 100 billion~"
Someone took the lead, and naturally everyone else was not to be outdone. You gave me 100 billion, and I gave you 200 billion. Everyone was in a very tacit understanding, and clearly understood the purpose of Ji Rong and Lao Wang in convening everyone, so there was no need to say too much at all.
If there are many, it will go directly to the fund-raising process.
Wen Tianming was also among the crowd, also drooling, but he did not join in the fun because he had his own ambitions.
"In such a big business, if there are more people, the money will be less. It is still the same as when mining on the moon. It is better to find several other families alone and form a partnership."
"The most critical thing is the early stage. As long as you have an advantage in the early stage, the gap in the later stage can slowly become wider and wider~"
Wen Tianming already has his own plan in mind. He is Qin Yi's father-in-law. There is no problem buying a spaceship from Qin Yi. He can have everything he has now because of Qin Yi's support.
Of course, Qin Yi's ability to make his business bigger and stronger is indispensable without the support of his father-in-law, Wen Tianming.
However, the investment this time was too large. Wen Tianming himself could not afford a 20,000-yuan spaceship. He had to find several family partners who had always had a very good cooperative relationship.
…
In Japan, in a palace at the foot of Mount Fuji, many bigwigs and plutocrats gathered together.
"Everyone, this asteroid has a mass of 1.5 billion tons and is almost entirely made of iron. According to our estimates, its value exceeds 450 billion Chinese dollars~"
As the person hosting the party reported this number to everyone, the big bosses and chaebols couldn't help but become jealous and drooled.
"I would like to solemnly remind everyone that this is not just a matter of wealth, but a matter of civilization development. The Chinese have been able to mine asteroids and obtain resources from the entire solar system, but we have not mastered anti-gravity technology until now.
Let alone building a spaceship as huge as the Qinglong."
"150 million tons of steel is still steel in space. I believe that the Chinese will soon use this steel to build more spaceships and space battleships, and then go to the asteroid belt to mine more asteroids."
"If such a virtuous cycle continues to develop, within a few years, the entire solar system will become the back garden of the Chinese people. Everything at this time is like the primitive accumulation during the Industrial Revolution. They are carrying out primitive accumulation for the interstellar age of navigation.
.”
"Once this accumulation is completed, they can build a powerful space battleship and sail into the sea of stars, ushering in the great era of navigation in the interstellar age."
The host's voice was very loud and powerful, and he clearly saw China's future development path. His words made the big guys present quickly regain their composure and become silent.
"We have missed the Age of Discovery in the Earth Age, so we have been confined to small islands. In this Age of Interstellar Discovery, we cannot miss every step. The same is true for mining asteroids. We must participate, no matter it is
What a price to pay.”
"If you fall behind every step, you will fall behind every step. This is something that is absolutely not allowed to happen."
The host's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he was a real boss in being able to preside over this meeting. His words also made everyone present nod in support.
"Immediately send people to China to contact Qin Yi. No matter what method is used, we must buy a spaceship from Qin Yi."
"The Academy of Sciences must find a way to develop our own spacecraft that is not affected by gravity in space. Can we use a traditional rocket propulsion system to sail and mine asteroids in the asteroid belt?"
"All citizens must be prepared for this and try every means to obtain more Chinese dollars. I don't hope that we will take advantage of the opportunity because we don't have enough Chinese dollars."
"Everyone, a magnificent era is coming. We must work harder. In Qin Yi's words, we must create a starry sky for future generations!"
