In a void in the inner circle of the solar system, the Kaguya spacecraft was flying quietly on inertia at a speed of 46 kilometers per second in the void. The fuel on it had been exhausted, and it was dragging an asteroid behind.
"Oshima-kun, can we really not catch up with Earth?"
Here at the control center of the Kaguya spacecraft, Hiroshi Ohta once asked Jiro Oshima. This Oshima Jiro was an astronomical scientist responsible for calculating the trajectory of the Kaguya spacecraft.
"I can't catch up~I can be very sure of this."
"According to the original plan, we must travel at a speed of 500,000 kilometers per second to just meet the Earth. Now our speed is only more than 40 kilometers per second. Calculated, there is no way to meet the prescribed speed.
Time and Earth meet.”
"Now that we have run out of fuel, there is no way to continue accelerating. Even if we lose this asteroid, we still have no way to catch up with the Earth."
"Once we fail to catch up with the Earth, we will never be able to return to the Earth. We will have no way to slow down or change the flight trajectory. We will continue to wander like this."
Jiro Oshima shook his head helplessly. He had repeatedly calculated the orbits of the Kaguya spacecraft and the Earth, and was 100% sure that there was no way the spacecraft would rendezvous with the Earth at the specified time.
"How close can we get to Earth?"
Hiroshi Ohta nodded. Actually, there was no need for Jiro Oshima to tell him. As the captain, he knew this very well, but he needed professionals to confirm it.
"Based on our current flight trajectory and the Earth's orbit, we will be 5 million kilometers away from the Earth in another 15 days. This distance is the closest distance. After that, the distance between us and the Earth will become farther and farther."
Jiro Oshima used the virtual watch he wore to speak out the results calculated by the computer.
"In 15 days, 5 million kilometers?"
Ohta Hiroshi nodded, thought deeply, and then said with a long sigh: "There is nothing we can do now. The only thing we can do is to wait and see what method the earth can come up with to save us."
"The only way here on Earth is to go to Galaxy Technology Group and ask them to dispatch the Qinglong spacecraft. With the powerful performance of the Qinglong spacecraft, they can come to rescue us within this time and catch up with the earth.
, even, I estimate that they can even transport this asteroid back."
Oshima Jiro thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "But if we want Galaxy Technology Group to help, we will definitely have to pay a huge price, and they may not be willing to help us."
"The Empire will not abandon us!"
Ohta Hiroshi looked at the direction of the earth and said with certainty.
Earth, Japan.
"The Academy of Sciences has repeatedly confirmed that the Kaguya spacecraft has run out of fuel and has not reached the planned speed and cannot catch up with the earth. We must find a way to save the Kaguya spacecraft."
Nakamura Masao looked at the bosses in the conference room and introduced the current situation in detail. At the same time, he also expressed his opinion. The Kaguya spaceship must be rescued. This spaceship cost a huge price. More importantly,
The more than 100 people on board the spaceship are all elites, and now they are even more Japanese heroes.
Of course, the asteroid dragged back by the Kaguya spacecraft is what everyone is really concerned about. 20 million tons of gold, which is enough to make the entire Japan rich overnight, no matter how high the cost, as long as possible,
They will also try their best to bring it back to Earth.
The Kaguya spaceship is in such a situation now, not just for gambling on the fate of the country, but for this huge wealth, otherwise the Kaguya spaceship would not be like this, and it would be no problem to just haul an asteroid back.
of.
"Is there any feasible plan from the Academy of Sciences?"
"If there is, let's go ahead and do it. We must bring that asteroid back to Earth at all costs."
The boss sitting in the highest position thought for a while and said, now he only cares about the asteroid and the 20 million tons of gold. For him, if the asteroid can come back, even if the Kaguya spacecraft
Even if it’s gone, it’s worth it.
"The only way now is to find Qin Yi and dispatch the Qinglong spacecraft. Only by dispatching the Qinglong spacecraft can we bring back the Kaguya spaceship. As for the asteroid..."
Nakamura Masao did not continue speaking. He knew very well the importance of this asteroid. It contains 20 million tons of gold. No matter which country it is, it would be tempted by such a huge amount of gold.
Although the huge amount of gold will cause the price of gold on the earth to plummet, gold is not only a symbol of wealth, it plays a huge role in the industrial field and plays a big role in many places.
Just because the price of gold is too expensive, alternative materials are often used. However, in highly sensitive electronics and high-tech fields, there are still many places where gold is needed, and there is no way to use alternative materials, such as in mobile phones.
Gold, many people recycle mobile phones and use the gold-containing parts inside to refine gold.
Gold is both wealth and an important industrial material. It is also a country's most important strategic reserve and an important thing to stabilize a country's currency. Each of the world's major gangsters and major economies has large gold reserves.
"We must try every means to bring that asteroid back."
The superiors almost didn't think twice and gave the death order.
"Hi~"
Nakamura Masao quickly lowered his head and replied.
…
Qin Yi's mood has been quite good recently. The Qinglong spacecraft has returned to the asteroid belt and brought back an asteroid with a mass of hundreds of millions of tons.
With sufficient resources, the Dragon Nest Space Factory is also in full swing. It is building 5 Qinglong-class spaceships at the same time. And because of the large-scale monolithic castings, the spaceships are getting better and better. The new batch of 5 spaceships has been built.
The Qinglong-class spacecraft can reach 500 million tons of thrust.
Of these five spaceships, two were ordered from above and are basically unprofitable. The other one belongs to my father-in-law and is also unprofitable. One was sold to Ji Rong and the others, and the price of one is enough to build this
There are several spaceships left, and Qin Yi plans to use the remaining spaceship himself. It is still the old rule that in each batch of spaceships, he must keep at least one or two for himself.
Only if you have enough spaceships can you do what you want to do without being controlled by others. What's more, Qin Yi is now poor and only has money. Instead of saving money in the bank, he might as well save more space.
Spaceship, this spaceship can take away asteroids and bring a steady stream of profits every year.
"Boss, the Japanese have something to ask you again. Do you want to see me?"
At this time, Qin Yi's secretary Lin Fang came in and said.
"Did they say anything?"
Qin Yi thought for a while, it seems that he hasn't dug a hole for Japan recently. Why are they looking for him? Didn't he think that his spaceship was too expensive last time and he couldn't afford it? Is it possible that he is rich again now?
"Take them to the conference room."
After thinking about it, Qin Yi decided to meet these Japanese people. If he could sell a spaceship for 5 trillion yuan, he would make enough money to build several spaceships. This business can still be done.
The cost of this spaceship is too high, and it’s impossible to do it without finding a few rip offs.
Soon, Qin Yi came to the conference room. This time, the team was led by Masao Nakamura and Taro Ishida, whom he met last time.
"Mr. Qin~"
Seeing Qin Yi coming over, Taro Ishida and Masao Nakamura also stood up quickly and bowed very politely.
"Mr. Ishida, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
Qin Yi smiled and nodded, then the guests and hosts took their seats.
"Mr. Qin, let me introduce to you. This is Masao Nakamura, the head of our Japan Aerospace Center."
Taro Ishida smiled and introduced Masao Nakamura to Qin Yi.
"Hello, Mr. Nakamura."
Qin Yi smiled and greeted the other party, but then he started thinking rapidly in his mind.
"Did something happen to the Japanese spacecraft Kaguya?"
"They must have come here to ask me for help."
Thinking of this, Qin Yi quickly used his virtual watch to send a message to the Institute of Astronomy and Astronomy of the Galaxy Academy of Sciences, asking them to verify the situation of the Kaguya spacecraft as soon as possible. This Japanese is a fat man who has come to their door.
I have no reason not to kill them.
"Mr. Qin, I have admired your name for a long time. I am lucky to meet you today."
Nakamura Masao bowed to Qin Yi, very respectfully. This was from the bottom of his heart. He really admired Qin Yi. As the person in charge of the space center, he knew very well that everything was driven by the man in front of him.
, without him, we don’t know how long it will take for the earth to develop to its present level.
"Mr. Nakamura, Mr. Ishida, you don't need to be so polite. Please feel free to do it. I don't have so many rules here. I have met Mr. Ishida several times, and I am considered to be cheap."
Qin Yi smiled and said, originally he didn't want to waste time and just finished talking about the business.
But now, Qin Yi is ready to wait for a while. After his subordinates have found out the situation of the Kaguya and the purpose of the other party's visit, they can then talk about the business slowly.
Now, it's better to find a way to stall with the other party. This Nakamura Masao coming here must have something to do with the Kaguya spaceship. Besides, Qin Yi really can't figure out why they are looking for him.
In such a short period of time, they should not be able to get enough Chinese coins to buy their own spaceship. As for other things, there is no need to send the two big guys to come together.
