Interstellar Energy Tycoon

late May.

This morning.

Suhong City, Industrial Park, in a large factory that was newly built and recently put into use.

Li Xingyang came to inspect it.

And he attaches great importance to this factory, and he will come to inspect it every three to five times, and personally guide some work, which is much higher than other factories.

In other words, what kind of product is this factory producing? He was so concerned that he came here again and again. He also personally participated in the design work and became the chief designer who played a leading role.

Interstellar mining ship.

And it is dedicated to long-term activities in space, and can go to the asteroid belt where a large number of meteorites are distributed, and push, capture, and mine space meteorites one by one.

The maximum output power is 5 million KW.

The maximum catch capacity is 1 million tons.

The maximum maintenance capacity in space is 3 years.

The maximum activity distance is 1 billion kilometers, controlled by interstellar navigator and quantum communicator.

As for the model of this interstellar mining spacecraft, it was named "Zhantian" by Li Xingyang—to commemorate Zhan Yuantian's 80 years of mining in space, so that Li Xingyang has a very deep understanding of space mining in his mind. Memory, and even the structure of the mining spaceship is well known, and has unique insights, and is confident in designing an interstellar mining spaceship with the most reasonable structure, the most complete functions, and the most comfortable living conditions.

Inside the mining ship factory.

Standing in front of this spaceship that looks like a snail and has only built a basic frame, the construction is less than 15% complete, but with the efficiency and speed of this assembly, production can be rolled off the production line within half a year at most, and it will appear in the world. in front of.

The interstellar navigator has been successfully developed.

The quantum communicator has also successfully produced a set of laboratory samples, but it can be used in the field of actual production and life.

At the super reflective material factory, the first star-ring light sail reflector (referred to as star-ring reflector) is under intensive development.

After all the above equipment is ready.

After the production of the "Zhantian" interstellar mining spacecraft comes off the production line, it can carry a number of space miners, and with the support of the ultra-long-distance light beam energy supply technology, go to the asteroid belt for activities, or take some The high-value meteorites within a range of 100 million kilometers are dragged to the vicinity of the blue star, and then cut, processed, and transported to the ground, which will bring greater economic benefits to the Xingyuan Group.

But here comes the problem.

Didn't Li Xingyang say before that apart from the space energy business, he is not interested in other industries, including the huge cake of space mining, he can give up all of them, and will not occupy all the interests.

Now why is he going back on his word, developed a mining spacecraft, and is going to get some high-value space meteorites, why doesn't he keep his word, abandon his promise, or do things like grabbing cakes?

That's right.

Li Xingyang has made a corresponding promise that he will not aggressively enter industries such as space mining, but it does not mean that he will not engage in mining at all, nor does it mean that he will set limits on himself and lose the flexibility of action.

And we must also see the financial difficulties that Xingyuan Group is in today.

500 billion.

Now the money owed by Xingyuan Group to the bank has increased to 500 billion.

And it is still expanding its liabilities at a rate of 2 billion yuan per day.

The purpose is to ensure the speed of business expansion of Xingyuan Group and ensure that the construction of space energy facilities can keep up with the energy demand of various space activities.

And such rapid expansion will obviously continue for a very long time.

By the end of this year, the money owed by Xingyuan Group to the bank is estimated to exceed the 1 trillion mark.

Including the players of the previous game "Galaxy: Energy Tycoon", the top-up investment is more than 200 billion.

By the end of the year, the total liabilities of Xingyuan Group will exceed 1.2 trillion yuan.

In addition, with the profitability of Xingyuan Group, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to reduce this debt and fulfill the promise of at least 10 times the return to the players. There is no possibility of repaying the money in the short term.

No way.

This is not acceptable.

Although borrowing money is a necessary move for Xingyuan Group to expand, no one wants to owe so much money.

Especially Li Xingyang, if he owes hundreds of billions, it’s fine, but if it exceeds trillions, he feels a little stressed, and he can’t sleep well. Indeed, in this era, the one who owes money is the uncle. The more you owe, the safer you are. But it's a little naive of you to really hold such an idea.

Because banks have never been so-called vulnerable groups, there is always a way for you to repay the loan with interest, not to mention that in the loan contract, the bank has the right to call back the loan at any time.

If the development of Xingyuan Group reached the most critical moment, the bank suddenly came to the bottom, urged to pay back the money, and sealed up the factory if the repayment was not paid, would Li Xingyang be dumbfounded?

Even if the bank is unlikely to do this, Li Xingyang does not dare to gamble, because once huge interests are involved, he must never test human nature, and not many people can stand the test.

Well, even if Li Xingyang was right to worry.

But a new problem came again.

Can you earn so much money by mining in space, or go to the asteroid belt to catch meteorites, and even pay off trillions of corporate debts?

Space mining is so profitable, why none of the bosses of the tens of thousands of Huaguo mining companies that went to the moon to mine has really made a fortune, and even the first billionaire has not been born. It does not seem to be extremely profitable, but Just a few billionaires were born.

Is Li Xingyang thinking too optimistic?

Hehe, of course Li Xingyang would not do anything he is not sure about.

The wealth opportunities contained in space are far from being as simple as people imagine, but far beyond imagination!

Against a holographic projection device.

"Mr. Li, in cooperation with the National Astronomical Observatory, we have locked on the comet numbered 1973X6. According to its orbit analysis, after about two months, the distance between the comet and our blue star will be reduced to within 6.6 astronomical units ( That is, one billion kilometers), and then keep pulling in. After six months, it will be less than 2 astronomical units away from the blue star, and it will not be farther and farther away from us until twelve months later, exceeding 1 billion kilometers ...that is, we have a ten-month operating window."

"This comet is small in size, but has a high density and weighs about 600,000 tons. Experts estimate that it contains 13,000 tons of platinum, 1,500 tons of silver, and 300 tons of gold. Calculated based on the price of metals such as gold, silver, etc., the value of this comet is about 6 trillion yuan. Once it is successfully captured by our mining spacecraft, the financial situation of Xingyuan Group will be improved immediately!"

Han Buzhou, an expert in meteorite research, said to Li Xingyang excitedly.
