Various space industries are very prosperous in the outer space of the earth. Recently, a new space industry has emerged, the space port industry.
The so-called space port industry refers to the construction of space ports between spaces, which are specially used to park spacecrafts, load and unload, and transfer cargo.
Their functions are similar to those of ports on Earth, except that one is in space and the other is on Earth.
A port on earth requires a deep-water port area to build a good port, while building a space port in space requires huge funds and open areas.
A few years ago, there were no space ports specifically designed to park spaceships. However, as more and more spaceships are used in space, the business between the earth and the moon is getting busier and busier, so slowly there are
A dedicated space port.
The Yangtze River Space Port is the largest of all space ports. It is also a space port built by the Chinese government specifically to serve Chinese enterprises.
This huge space port can park more than 100 anti-gravity spacecraft at the same time, and can even park 10 Qinglong-class spacecraft at the same time. It has extremely large transfer throughput capacity.
Almost all anti-gravity spacecraft traveling between the Earth and the Moon will pass through the Yangtze River space port. Minerals from the Moon, supplies and tourists from the Earth, as well as food and vegetables from space farms, atomic matrix batteries from solar power stations, etc.
Wait, the entire Yangtze River Space Port is very busy.
The space industry is constantly being subdivided. The companies engaged in space transportation in space have been divided into many types and routes, which are very detailed.
There are transportation companies that specialize in traveling to and from the Earth. They transport materials and supplies to the moon from the space port, and when they come back, they bring the rare earths and various minerals mined by the lunar mining company.
There are those that specialize in taking short-distance routes to the Earth's space. Their main business is to transport materials from major companies on Earth to space ports, and then transport them to the moon by other transportation companies.
When returning to Earth, they will bring rare earths and various minerals mined by major lunar mining groups, or transport agricultural products from space farms.
There are many such companies, and they even have detailed subdivisions. Some companies' spaceships are specially modified to transport certain goods and materials, and they are specialized in transporting one kind of goods, which can greatly improve efficiency.
In space, there are also some transportation companies that are specifically responsible for transporting materials from space farmland and space solar power stations, specifically transporting materials from space ports to these space constructions, and then transporting the output of space construction to the space ports.
, and then entrust other companies to transport it to the cargo owner.
At this time, the Yangtze River Space Port was very busy. At a long dock, two rows of all-colored Miron B-class spacecraft were neatly arranged.
The Milon B-class spacecraft is not big. It is only one size larger than the anti-gravity spacecraft. There are two rows of spaceships, each row has 10 spaceships, a total of 20 Milon B-class spacecraft.
Each spacecraft is branded with a red flag and the logo of its respective company and unit, as well as the names of these spacecrafts.
Jin Yuanbao, Wangcai, Jinshan, etc., each name is very unique and fully reflects the Chinese people's yearning for space wealth in this era.
The hatches of these spacecrafts are all open, and the robotic arms on the docks are busy, constantly replenishing supplies to these spacecrafts, which are about to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids.
You must know that these spaceships were only completed and delivered for use yesterday from the Dragon Nest Space Factory of Galaxy Technology Group. The owners of the spacecraft have already been impatient and have completed all the preparations in advance. As soon as the spacecraft is received, they will work non-stop.
Heading towards the asteroid belt.
The efficiency of the Yangtze River Space Port is very high, and the material replenishment speed is very fast. After completing the material replenishment, the spacecraft slowly close their hatches and start preparing to set off to the asteroid belt.
On board the Jin Yuanbao Milon-class spacecraft, Yu Minghui, who is just 22 years old this year, looks a little nervous. He is a graduate of Galaxy University of Science and Technology majoring in astronomy.
This time, he and several graduates of the same class from Galaxy University of Science and Technology went to find his principal Qin Yi. With just a few words, he actually let Qin Yi buy a Milon-class spaceship for them on credit and set up an interstellar mining company.
.
Then Yu Minghui found seniors and seniors who had graduated from Galaxy University of Science and Technology and sought their investment. After everyone pieced together, they also raised all the expenses for this trip to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids.
"It must be possible, it must be possible."
Yu Minghui muttered silently in his heart. If he said he was not nervous, he must be lying. This spaceship is worth 80 billion, plus the various materials, equipment, instruments, etc. purchased for going to the asteroid belt, it will cost a lot of money.
I have paid more than 1 billion. If I cannot successfully mine asteroids and bring them back, I guess even selling myself will not be enough.
Of course, the more important thing is not to betray everyone's trust. When principal Qin Yi heard that Yu Minghui and others wanted to buy a spaceship on credit to mine asteroids, he agreed without any hesitation.
Seniors at Galaxy University of Science and Technology heard that their junior students were short of money to mine asteroids, and everyone also extended a helping hand. In less than one day, they raised a huge amount of 2 billion in funds, which shows that everyone has high expectations for their own.
trust.
You must know that he and most of his seniors have never met face to face. They just chatted in the virtual world and then invested their funds with confidence.
"It's time to go~"
Next to Yu Minghui, Yu Minghui's friend and deputy captain of the Jin Yuanbao spacecraft, Yi Chen, who graduated from Galaxy University of Science and Technology's interstellar flight major, reminded him softly.
"Everyone, get ready. The Jin Yuanbao spacecraft is about to depart for the asteroid belt. Please return to your seats."
Yu Minghui nodded, arrived on his space chair very smoothly, fastened his seat belt, and then issued a departure notice to everyone through the broadcast on the spacecraft.
"Haha, it's finally time to set off, beautiful asteroid, here I come."
"Ula~Ula~"
"I'm coming~"
As Yu Minghui finished speaking, bursts of cheers erupted from the spacecraft.
There are a total of six members of the Jin Yuanbao spacecraft, all of whom are classmates of Yu Minghui and Yi Chen. They are also graduates of Galaxy University of Science and Technology, and their respective majors are different.
Yu Minghui graduated with a major in cosmic astronomy. He is the captain and is responsible for searching for asteroids that maximize value. Yi Chen graduated with a major in interstellar flight. He is responsible for driving and controlling the spacecraft and can also perform simple maintenance on the spacecraft.
There is also Huang Suyu, a beautiful girl who graduated with a degree in spacecraft design and manufacturing. She is the main spacecraft engineer. She also has very good cooking skills and works part-time as the spacecraft's chef.
Although there are only six people on board the spaceship, each of them has a different major. At the same time, they also majored in other majors at Galaxy University of Technology. They can be said to be all-rounders. More importantly, as students of Galaxy University of Technology, each one of them has a different major.
Everyone has obtained the astronaut certificate early, has worked in space for a certain period of time, learned experience, and can use the space environment.
"Yangtze River, Yangtze River, Jin Yuanbao requests departure."
After everyone was seated, Yi Chen formally applied to the space port management for departure.
"Approved to leave Hong Kong, have a safe journey."
Soon, the application for the Jin Yuanbao spacecraft was approved. The mechanical arms that fixed the Jin Yuanbao spacecraft began to loosen one after another. The second-generation anti-gravity engine on the spacecraft also started. The spacecraft began to slowly leave the Yangtze River Space Port.
It began to accelerate towards the asteroid belt.
Not long after the Jin Yuanbao spacecraft set off here, more than a dozen spaceships such as the Wangcai and Jinshan, which had completed supplies, also began to leave the Yangtze River space port one after another, heading towards the asteroid belt.
20 Milon B-class spaceships form a straight line in space. When connected together, it is very spectacular. It feels like thousands of sails are racing, just like a school of small fish in the interstellar sea, soaring in the vast sky.
In the void.
As they got further and further away from the earth, the speed of these spacecrafts became faster and faster. After a few days, each of them began to adjust their angles and move in one direction. Each spacecraft went to a different area. It was impossible.
Say that a swarm of bees all ran to an area to mine asteroids.
The spacecraft only need to choose a small angle difference at the beginning. As time goes by, the distance between each other will become farther and farther. When they arrive in the asteroid belt, the distance between these spacecrafts will be different.
The distance will be different by hundreds of thousands of miles.
"Speed is 80 kilometers per second, turn off the engine and start inertial flight."
Two days later, the anti-gravity engine of the Jin Yuanbao spacecraft began to shut down, relying on inertia to rapidly move towards the asteroid belt.
"Jin Yuanbao, Jin Yuanbao, this is the number of Wangcai, this is the number of Wangcai, please answer when you receive it?"
On board the Jin Yuanbao spacecraft, everyone had just relaxed and prepared to take a good rest when a familiar voice came from the spacecraft's public communication signal.
"I've received the number Jin Yuanbao. I've received the number Jin Yuanbao. I've received the number Wangcai. Can you tell me something?"
Yu Minghui listened to a familiar voice. This voice was that of his classmate Lin Yaohua. Lin Yaohua was hired by an interstellar mining company and became the most critical astronomical scientist on the Wangcai spacecraft responsible for searching for asteroids.
Graduates of Galaxy University of Science and Technology have always been highly valued because of their outstanding abilities. The classmates of Yu Minghui and Lin Yaohua are very popular, and they are all core and important members of various interstellar mining companies.
