Interstellar Industrial Age

In the outer space of the earth, in the space city directly under the Institute of Astronomy and Astronomy, a subsidiary of the Galaxy Science Research Institute, following Qin Yi's order, the entire space city became busy.

The super-aperture space telescope began to slowly adjust its direction, searching for the traces of the Kaguya spacecraft in space, and all kinds of detection instruments were also turned on.

It is not easy to find a spacecraft in the vast space, but the Kaguya spacecraft is now very close to the earth, and more importantly, it goes to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids, the route, time, etc. It has been announced in advance.

Scientists only need to make a comparison based on time, and then calculate the speed of the Kaguya spacecraft a little, etc., and easily find the Kaguya spacecraft in the void.

"The speed is 46 kilometers per second."

"Successfully mined an asteroid with a mass of 120 million tons."

"The diameter of the asteroid is less than 200 meters and the density is very high. 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 predetermined time, because the speed of the Kaguya spacecraft is too slow and did not reach the predetermined speed."

Soon, the scientists figured out the situation of the Kaguya spacecraft, and immediately sent the information to Qin Yi's virtual watch through the virtual network.

"It turns out that the Kaguya spacecraft is in the sky, that is, mining asteroids with a mass of 100 million tons, but they are greedy mining asteroids with a mass of 120 million tons. It seems that this asteroid is large in mass and small in size. It's an asteroid rich in a lot of precious metals, I just don't know which kind."

"However, now the Japanese should have no way to bring the asteroid back to the earth, and there is no way to bring the Kaguya spacecraft back to the earth. The fuel of the Kaguya spacecraft should be exhausted and can only rely on Inertia flies in the void."

After receiving the news, Qin Yi immediately understood the purpose of these Japanese. Now only the Qinglong spacecraft can send fuel supplies to the Kaguya spacecraft and can drag the asteroid back to Earth.

After thinking about this clearly, the smile on Qin Yi's face became even brighter. This is definitely a good opportunity to slaughter Japan once.

"Mr. Qin, to be honest, we have something to ask for this time."

Here, Masao Nakamura and Taro Ishida looked at each other and chatted for so long, it was almost time to get down to business. The sooner Qin Yi took action, the sooner he would be able to bring the Kaguya spacecraft and asteroid back to Earth. If the time has dragged on for a long time, if the best time is missed, the Qinglong spacecraft will also be powerless.

"Mr. Nakamura may wish to speak directly."

Qin Yi had a thick smile on his face, and it seemed that they couldn't wait any longer.

"Our Kaguya spacecraft has no way to catch up with the earth because it runs out of fuel. Once it misses the time to meet the earth, then the Kaguya spacecraft may wander in space forever."

"So we hope to lease Mr. Qin's Qinglong spacecraft to transport fuel for our Kaguya spacecraft."

"Please help Mr. Qin!"

Nakamura Masao was silent for a moment, then said after thinking about it.

His words are not false, they are all true, but he did not tell all the truth. He just said that the Kaguya spacecraft needed to be refueled because the fuel was exhausted, and 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 listening, and then asked after thinking about it.

In fact, Qin Yi has figured out everything now, but he is not very clear about the value of this asteroid, so he also tested the Japanese's reaction first, and he can probably infer the value of this asteroid.

"Yes, of course, it is because of mining asteroids, with the drag of asteroids,

Therefore, the fuel of the Kaguya spacecraft is not enough, and there is no way to rendezvous with the earth at the scheduled time. "

Masao Nakamura was very smart and didn't hide it, and Qin Yi was not a fool. If he didn't say anything, he would be a ghost, so he was telling the truth, but he still didn't mention the details of the asteroid.

"What is the mass of the asteroid?"

"If the mass is too large, even if the fuel supply of the Kaguya spacecraft is filled, it will not be able to catch up with the earth, right?"

Qin Yi nodded, and then said after thinking for a while.

"This time we were too greedy. We could only mine 100 million tons of asteroids, but now we have towed back a 120 million tons of asteroids. The mass is too large, so we asked Mr. Qin for your help. Please ask Mr. Qin for a price and help."

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 the business.

As long as Qin Yi doesn't know the value of the asteroid, this will help transport fuel. Even if Qin Yi is black, it will definitely not cost much, not to mention that even if it costs tens of billions or hundreds of billions, it will be far Can't compare to the value of that asteroid.

"A 120-million-ton asteroid, even if we transport fuel, it shouldn't be able to catch up with the Earth in terms of the ability of the Kaguya spacecraft. After all, the speed was too slow at the beginning, and now we have to catch up. On the earth, the speed will be faster.”

"Are you going to abandon that asteroid?"

Qin Yi smiled and nodded, then rolled his eyes and asked with a smile.

"We actually still want to try it. If there is really no way, we have to give up the asteroid. After all, this is what we have worked so hard to mine from the asteroid belt. An asteroid is also worth hundreds of billions of dollars. , such a huge amount of wealth, no one would be reluctant to give up.”

Masao Nakamura nodded and said helplessly. At the same time, he was completely panicked. Qin Yi seemed to know something and was testing himself.

"You definitely can't bring it back. Traditional rockets have limited thrust. The key is to burn too fast, and there is simply not enough fuel."

"Otherwise, there is no problem in helping you send fuel to the past, but even if this asteroid is the reward for my Qinglong spacecraft, anyway, for you, this asteroid has no way to bring it back to Earth."

Qin Yi looked at Masao Nakamura, and then at Taro Ishida, who thought about it and suggested.

"No~ Absolutely not~"

As soon as Qin Yi's words fell, Taro Ishida immediately said very resolutely. At the same time, the whole person seemed to be flustered. What a joke, if this asteroid is more expensive than Qin Yi, then wouldn't he be empty and nothing? Didn't get it, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources.

As soon as Taro Ishida finished speaking, he immediately regretted it, because he knew that he acted too anxiously and was too concerned and anxious about this asteroid, which would easily arouse Qin Yi's suspicion.

"Cough cough~"

Nakamura Masao, who was on the side, coughed lightly, and motioned Taro Ishida to pay attention to himself. At the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.

"Mr. Qin, in fact, it's not impossible for this asteroid to belong to you. Anyway, we have no way to bring it back, but this asteroid contains a lot of metal, which is what we urgently need to develop the space industry, not to mention our It was also mined hard from the asteroid belt."

"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 the price of the 150-million-ton asteroid mined by your Qinglong spacecraft 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 going to the asteroid belt. I think this condition should be acceptable to Mr. Qin."

Masao Nakamura is indeed an old fox. His meaning is 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 will pay half the price. pay you.

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. If 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 it, and I'm not short of 100 billion or 200 billion. I still say that, this asteroid belongs to me, and I will help."

Qin Yi looked at the two of them, but he was thinking quickly in his mind. Judging from the huge contrast between Ishida Taro and Nakamura Masao, the Japanese must have concealed some things that he did not know. One who cares about asteroids very much , but one seems to only value resources, there must be ghosts in it.

Although he still can't figure out the real situation of the asteroid, Qin Yi knows that he only needs to firmly grasp the core point of the asteroid.

So Qin Yi just kept staring at the asteroid, I am not bad for money, not bad for money, I just want asteroids.

"Mr. Qin, the price can be negotiated well. We really need the resources on this asteroid. To transport resources from the ground to space, we need to delay the anti-gravity spacecraft. The anti-gravity spacecraft we have in Japan The number is limited, but it’s not as rich as Mr. Qin, it’s just an asteroid, Mr. Qin, you can mine one back in a few months, there’s no need to fight with us.”

Nakamura Masahiro was anxious in his heart, really anxious. Qin Yi only wanted asteroids and didn't want money. It would be difficult to do this now, but he could only keep pretending.

"I said that I'm not short of money, and you can't bring this asteroid back. I just want this asteroid to send fuel to you along the way. The request is not too much. already."

As soon as Qin Yi heard it, he immediately left a sentence and walked away.
