In the outer space of the earth, in the space city directly under the Institute of Astronomy and Astronomy under the Galaxy Science Research Institute, as Qin Yi's order was conveyed, the entire space city became busy.
The ultra-large-diameter space telescope began to slowly adjust its direction to search for traces of the Kaguya spacecraft in space. At the same time, all kinds of detection instruments were turned on.
It is not an easy task to find a spaceship in the vast space, but the Kaguya spacecraft is now very close to the earth. What is more important is its route and time to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids.
It has been announced beforehand.
The scientists only needed to make a comparison based on time, and then calculate the speed of the Kaguya spacecraft, etc., and easily found the Kaguya spacecraft in the void.
"Speed 46 kilometers per second."
"An asteroid with a mass of 120 million tons was successfully mined."
"The asteroid is less than 200 meters in diameter and very dense. It can be concluded that this is an asteroid containing a large amount of precious metals."
"Calculating the orbit of the Kaguya spacecraft and the Earth's orbit, the two cannot meet at the scheduled time. The reason is that the speed of the Kaguya spacecraft is too slow and has not reached the scheduled speed."
Soon, the scientists had a clear picture of the situation of the Kaguya spacecraft, and immediately sent the information to Qin Yi's virtual watch through the virtual network.
"So that's it. The Kaguya spacecraft is trying to mine an asteroid with a mass of 100 million tons, but they are greedily mining an asteroid with a mass of 120 million tons. It seems that this asteroid has a large mass and a small size. It is absolutely
It’s an asteroid that’s rich in precious metals, but I don’t know what kind it is.”
"However, now the Japanese should not be able to bring the asteroid back to Earth, nor can they bring the Kaguya spaceship back to Earth. The fuel of the Kaguya spaceship should be exhausted, and they can only rely on
Flying in the void with inertia."
After receiving the news, Qin Yi immediately understood the purpose of these Japanese coming. Now only the Qinglong spacecraft can send fuel supplies to the Kaguya spacecraft and can drag the asteroid back to the earth.
After thinking about this clearly, the smile on Qin Yi's face became even brighter. This is definitely a good opportunity, a good opportunity to kill Japan.
"Mr. Qin, to be honest, we came here this time to ask for something."
Here, Masao Nakamura and Taro Ishida looked at each other. After chatting for a long time, it was almost time to get down to business. The sooner Qin Yi takes action, the sooner he can bring the Kaguya spacecraft and the asteroid back to Earth.
Time drags on for a long time, and if the best time is missed, the Qinglong spacecraft will be powerless.
"Mr. Nakamura, you might as well just say it."
Qin Yi had a thick smile on his face, and it seemed that they couldn't wait any longer.
"Our Kaguya spacecraft has run out of fuel and is unable to catch up with the Earth. Once we miss the time to meet the Earth, the Kaguya spacecraft may have to wander in space forever."
"So we hope to rent Mr. Qin's Qinglong spacecraft to transport fuel for our Kaguya spaceship."
"Please help Mr. Qin!"
Nakamura Masao was silent for a moment, thought for a while and said.
His words were not false, they were all true, but he did not tell all the truth. He only said that the Kaguya spacecraft had run out of fuel and needed to be refueled. He did not mention the situation of the asteroid.
"If I remember correctly, the Kaguya spacecraft went to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids. I wonder if they have successfully mined asteroids?"
Qin Yi nodded after hearing this, then thought about it and asked.
In fact, Qin Yi has figured out everything now, but he is not very clear about the value of this asteroid, so he first tested the Japanese reaction, and he can probably deduce the value of this asteroid.
"Yes, of course there is. It is because of the mining of asteroids and the drag of asteroids that the Kaguya spacecraft does not have enough fuel and cannot rendezvous with the Earth as scheduled."
Masao Nakamura was very smart and did not hide anything. Qin Yi was not a fool. If he said he didn't have it, he would believe it. So he told the truth, but he still didn't mention the detailed information about the asteroid.
“What’s the mass of the asteroid?”
"If the mass is too great, even if the fuel of the Kaguya spacecraft is replenished, it will not be able to catch up with the earth, right?"
Qin Yi nodded, then thought for a while and said.
"We were too greedy this time. Originally we could only mine an asteroid with a mass of 100 million tons, but now we have towed back an asteroid with a mass of 120 million tons. The mass is too great, so we asked Mr. Qin for your help.
Please give Mr. Qin a price and help me."
As soon as Nakamura Masao heard Qin Yi ask about the specific situation of the asteroid, he immediately panicked, so he quickly returned the topic to business.
As long as Qin Yi doesn't know the value of asteroids, it won't cost much to help transport fuel, no matter how evil Qin Yi is. What's more, even if it costs tens of billions or hundreds of billions, it won't cost much.
It cannot be compared with the value of that asteroid.
"A 120-million-ton asteroid, even if we transport fuel there, with the capabilities of the Kaguya spacecraft, it should not be able to catch up with the Earth. After all, the speed at the beginning was too slow. Now we have to catch up.
When you get to Earth, your speed will be even faster."
"Are you planning to abandon that asteroid?"
Qin Yi smiled and nodded, then rolled his eyes and asked with a smile.
"We actually still want to give it a try. If there is really no other way, we have to give up the asteroid. After all, this is what we worked hard to mine from the asteroid belt. An asteroid is worth hundreds of billions.
, no one would be willing to part with such a huge fortune."
Nakamura Masao nodded and said helplessly. At the same time, he was completely panicked. Qin Yi seemed to know something and was testing himself.
"There is definitely no way you can bring it back. Traditional rockets have limited thrust. The key is that they burn too fast and there is simply not enough fuel."
"Otherwise, of course there is no problem in sending fuel to you, but even if this asteroid is the reward of my Qinglong spacecraft, for you, there is no way to bring this asteroid back to Earth."
Qin Yi looked at Masao Nakamura, then looked at Taro Ishida on the side, thought about it and suggested.
"No~Absolutely not~"
As soon as Qin Yi finished speaking, Taro Ishida on the side immediately said very firmly. At the same time, the whole person looked panicked. What a joke. If this asteroid favors Qin Yi, then he will be in vain, and everything will be lost.
If it is not obtained, a lot of manpower and material resources are spent.
As soon as Ishida Taro finished speaking, he immediately regretted it, because he knew that he acted too anxiously and was too concerned and anxious about this asteroid, which could easily arouse Qin Yi's suspicion.
"Ahem~"
Masao Nakamura on the side coughed lightly, signaling Taro Ishida to pay attention to him. At the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.
"Mr. Qin, in fact, it is not impossible for you to own this asteroid. We have no way to bring it back anyway. It's just that this asteroid contains a lot of metal, which is something we urgently need to develop the space industry, not to mention that we
It was also mined back from the asteroid belt through hard work.”
"We need the resources on this asteroid very much. As long as Mr. Qin is willing to help transport the asteroid back, we are willing to pay half of the price of the 150-million-ton asteroid that your Qinglong spacecraft mined last time.
you."
"I don't know if Mr. Qin is satisfied with this price. The Qinglong spacecraft can get a reward of 200 billion without having to go to the asteroid belt. I think Mr. Qin should be able to accept this condition."
Masao Nakamura is indeed an old fox. His meaning is very obvious. This asteroid is actually an ordinary asteroid. We also need the metal resources on the asteroid to develop the space industry. As long as you are willing to help, you can pay half the price.
Give you a reward.
This condition and reason can be said to be very good. Of course, the premise is that the value of this asteroid is not known. Calculated according to the value of ordinary asteroids, it is still quite good.
"I'm sorry, I also need steel resources very much. As for money, I have plenty. I am not short of 100 billion or 200 billion. I still say the same thing, this asteroid belongs to me, and I will help."
Qin Yi looked at the two people, but he was thinking rapidly in his mind. Judging from the huge contrast between Taro Ishida and Masao Nakamura, the Japanese must have concealed something that he didn't know clearly. He was very concerned about asteroids.
, but one of them seems to only value resources. There must be something wrong with this.
Although he still couldn't figure out the true situation of this asteroid, Qin Yi knew that he only needed to firmly grasp the core point of the asteroid.
So Qin Yi just stared at the asteroid. I am not short of money. I am not short of money. I just want the asteroid.
"Mr. Qin, the price can be discussed carefully. We really need the resources on this asteroid. To transport resources from the ground to space will delay the anti-gravity spacecraft. The anti-gravity spacecraft we have in Japan
The quantity is limited. It’s not as rich as Mr. Qin. It’s just an asteroid. Mr. Qin can mine one in a few months, so there’s no need to fight with us.”
Nakamura Masashi was anxious, really anxious. Qin Yi only wanted the asteroid for no money. This was going to be difficult, but he could only keep pretending.
"I have already said that I am not short of money. There is no way for you to bring this asteroid back. I just want this asteroid and send you fuel along with it. The request is not too much. Come if you agree. If you don't agree, it will be fine.
Already."
As soon as Qin Yi heard this, he just dropped a word and walked away.
