Chapter 375, it's time to bet on the national luck (for the alliance leader coffee
In the dark void, there are stars, cold, empty, and lonely. There has been no change or fluctuation for hundreds of millions of years. It seems to be eternal and unchanged, and it is like a terrifying monster that swallows everything in it.
The Kaguya spacecraft is spitting out a long blazing white tail flame and is beginning to slow down continuously. It has been almost a month since it left the earth and is about to arrive at the asteroid belt.
The entire crew on the spacecraft seemed very excited. After struggling for more than a month in such an environment, they were finally about to take action.
"Turn on the detection radar~"
"Turn on the ray detector~"
"Start redshift detector~"
Ohta Hiroshi looked at the pitch-black void outside. He couldn't see anything at all with the naked eye. It was pitch black, but as long as he turned on the detector on the spacecraft, he would realize how lively it was here.
Orders were issued one after another from Ota Hiroki, and everyone on the entire spacecraft began to get busy.
Soon, a large amount of data began to gather continuously. Through the virtual watch he wore, all these data appeared in Ohta Hiro's mind.
"The asteroid was discovered at a distance of 14,924 kilometers. The composition of the asteroid was analyzed. The iron content was 60%, the silicon content was 30%, and other components were 10%. The total mass was 360 million tons."
Soon, they made a discovery, an asteroid appeared in their field of vision.
"The mass is too great, we simply can't move it."
Saburo Nishizawa said with a smile on his face.
They finally arrived at the asteroid belt with smooth sailing. As long as they find a suitable asteroid, they can go back soon. The thought of returning to Earth makes everyone extremely happy. Living here is like a year, which is very painful.
Many people are even a little abnormal.
"We have just entered the asteroid belt. In a day or two, we will discover more asteroids, and we will be able to go home soon."
Ohta Hiroshi nodded and said.
The Kaguya spacecraft continues to advance in the asteroid belt. Every time it advances a certain distance, the spacecraft releases satellites one after another. These satellites are used to detect wider areas and obtain more information.
Two days later.
"Ota-kun, look at this asteroid. According to the analysis of scientists, it contains more than 20% gold, and the mass of this asteroid is 120 million tons, which means that this asteroid contains
The total amount of gold exceeds 20 million tons."
"Oh my god, this is simply a golden asteroid. Its value is simply inestimable."
Saburo Nishizawa said to Hiro Ohta very excitedly.
"120 million tons, 20 million tons of gold, we can't drag it!"
When Ohta Hiroshi heard this, his eyes widened and he stared at the asteroid's data, but then he shook his head helplessly.
"But, this is 20 million tons of gold. If this asteroid can be dragged back, we in Japan will no longer have to worry about money. 20 million tons of gold."
"Isn't the maximum design limit of our Kaguya spacecraft exactly 120 million tons?"
"Are we going to enter Baoshan like this and come back empty-handed?"
Saburo Nishizawa was very unwilling. His eyes were slightly red, just like a cat seeing the smell of fish, and he couldn't move his eyes away. He was even more unwilling to think about if this asteroid could be hauled back.
"I need to ask for instructions from the Earth General Command Center. In addition, please inform the scientists on the spacecraft and ask them to calculate our fuel, re-determine our current position, and our route back to Earth. If possible, we will
Take a gamble."
Ohta Hiroshi was silent for a while, thinking rapidly in his mind, and soon he made a decision.
With such a gold mountain in front of you, there is really no reason to miss it. 20 million tons of gold is such a huge amount of wealth. You must know that the total number of gold currently mined on the earth is estimated to be around 200,000 tons.
If these 20 million tons of gold can be transported back to the earth, Japan, as a country, can be said to have become rich overnight, which is a windfall.
It took more than 20 minutes for the Earth to receive the message sent by Hiro Ohta. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency also immediately summoned many scientists and astronomy scientists to combine all aspects of the current Kaguya spacecraft data and
The situation was assessed.
"Suggest giving up?"
Soon, the assessment report appeared in the hands of Masao Nakamura. Looking at the report in his hand, Masao Nakamura suddenly became hesitant. The cake of 20 million tons of gold was really too big, big enough to make the entire
The country suddenly became fatter.
However, the advice given by scientists is to give up, because the capabilities of the Kaguya spacecraft are limited. The key is that the mass of the asteroid is too large. Once such an asteroid is dragged back to the earth, the fuel of the Kaguya spacecraft will be
I was very nervous and couldn't tolerate any mistakes.
Once any situation occurs midway, the Kaguya spacecraft will not have any extra energy to deal with it, because all the energy will most likely be consumed in dragging the asteroid.
Out of caution, giving up is the wisest choice.
"Let's let the people above decide. This is an opportunity given to us by Amaterasu. If we just give up like this, we really won't be willing to do it."
Masao Nakamura did not make his own decision, but reported the matter to his superiors and let the most senior meeting decide whether to take the gamble or not.
"Let's take a gamble. One Kaguya spaceship only costs a few hundred billion. The worst result is just a ship crash and casualties. But if it succeeds, we can buy several Blue Dragon spaceships at once.
."
Soon, the Supreme Council came up with a resolution. This resolution had the usual Japanese personality, which is that they dare to gamble and gamble on a country's national destiny to do something.
"Convey this decision to Ohta Hiroki, it's a bet!"
After Nakamura Masao received the order from above, he did not hesitate at all. He quickly sent the order to Ohta Hiroki. Faced with such a big piece of cake, it was time to gamble on the fate of the country again.
More than 100 years ago, their ancestors bet on the destiny of the country, so they became the only great power in Asia, laying the foundation for everything today.
Now is the critical moment. If they succeed, they will have huge funds, which will be enough for them to squander desperately in space and lay the foundation for the interstellar space age.
20 million tons of gold, such a huge fortune, there is no reason not to gamble!
ps: Chapter 374 has been harmonized. I originally planned to code a chapter to make up for it, but I didn’t expect it to be revised and released again. I’m dizzy. The content can’t be kept up, and I’m really helpless!
