Interstellar Industrial Age

In the outer space of the earth, various space industries are very prosperous. 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 space, which are specially used to park spaceships, load and unload, and transfer goods.

The function is similar to the port on the earth, except that one is in space and the other is on the earth.

A port on the earth needs a deep-water port area to build a good port. Building a space port in space requires huge funds and an open area.

A few years ago, there was no space port specially used to park spacecraft, but as there are more and more spacecraft in space, the business between the earth and the moon is getting busier and busier, so slowly there is this A dedicated spaceport.

The Yangtze River Space Port is the largest of all space ports, and it is also a space port officially built by Huaxia to serve Chinese enterprises.

This huge space port can park more than 100 anti-gravity spaceships at the same time, and even park 10 Qinglong-class spaceships at the same time, and has an extremely large transfer throughput capacity.

Almost all anti-gravity spacecraft going back and forth between the earth and the moon will pass through the Yangtze River space port for transit, minerals from the moon, supplementary materials and tourists from the earth, as well as food, vegetables from space farms, and atomic matrix batteries of solar power plants. Wait, the entire Yangtze River Space Port is very busy.

With the continuous subdivision of the space industry, companies that do space transportation in space have been divided into many types, divided into many routes, and have been very detailed.

There are transportation companies that go to and from the earth. They will transport the materials and supplementary notes to the moon on the space port side. When they come back, they will bring rare earths and various minerals mined by the moon mining company.

There are special routes for the earth and space, which are short-distance. The main business is to transport the materials of major companies on the earth to the space port, and then transport them to the moon by other transportation companies.

When returning to Earth, it will bring rare earths and various minerals mined by major lunar mining groups, or transport agricultural products from space farms.

There are also many such companies, and even detailed subdivisions. Some companies' spaceships are specially transformed to transport certain goods and materials, and specialize in transporting one kind of goods, which can greatly improve efficiency.

In space, there are also some transportation companies that are specially responsible for the transportation of materials for space farmland and space solar power stations, and for the transportation of materials from space ports to these space constructions.

The space-built output is then transported to the spaceport, and then entrusted to other companies to transport it to the cargo owner.

At this time, the Yangtze River Space Port was very busy. In a long dock, two rows of Milong B-class spacecraft were neatly arranged.

The Miron B-class spacecraft is not very large. Compared with the anti-gravity spacecraft, it is only one size larger. There are two rows of spacecraft, 10 in each row, for a total of 20 Miron B-class spacecraft.

Each spaceship is imprinted with a red flag and the logo of the respective company and unit, as well as the names of these spaceships.

Jinyuanbao, Wangcai, Jinshan, etc., each of which is very personal, fully reflects the Chinese people's yearning for space wealth in this era.

The hatches of these spaceships are all open, and the robotic arms above the dock are busy, constantly replenishing these spaceships, and these spaceships are about to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids.

You must know that these spaceships were only completed and delivered from the Dragon Nest Space Factory of Galaxy Technology Group yesterday. The owners of the spaceships have long been waiting, and all the preparations have been completed in advance. to the asteroid belt.

The efficiency of the Yangtze River Space Port is very high, and the speed of material replenishment is very fast. The spaceships that have completed the material replenishment began to slowly close their hatches and began to prepare to set off for the asteroid belt.

On the Jin Yuanbao Milong-class spacecraft, Yu Minghui, who is only 22 years old this year, is a little nervous. He is a graduate of Galaxy University of Science and Technology, majoring in astronomical science.

This time, he and several graduates of the same class of Galaxy University of Science and Technology found his president Qin Yi, and with one mouth, he even asked Qin Yi to buy them a Miron-class spacecraft on credit and set up an interstellar mining company. .

Then Yu Minghui found the seniors and sisters who graduated from Galaxy University of Science and Technology, and sought their investment. After patching it up, they also collected all the expenses for this trip to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids.

"It's definitely possible, it's definitely possible."

Yu Minghui whispered silently in his heart, saying that he is not nervous, it must be false, this spacecraft is worth 80 billion, plus the various materials, equipment, instruments, etc. purchased for the asteroid belt, it will cost a lot of money. It has cost more than 1 billion. If the asteroid cannot be successfully mined and returned, it is estimated that it will not be enough to sell yourself.

Of course, the more important thing is not to betray everyone's trust. When the principal Qin Yi heard that Yu Minghui and the others wanted to buy spaceships on credit to mine asteroids, he agreed without any hesitation.

The senior and senior of Xinghe University of Science and Technology heard that his junior brother needed money to mine asteroids. Everyone also extended a helping hand. In less than one day, a huge amount of 2 billion was raised, which shows that everyone is very interested in their own trust.

You must know that he and most of the seniors and seniors have never met. Everyone just chatted in the virtual world and then invested the funds with confidence.

"It's time to go~"

Beside 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 with a major in interstellar flight, reminded softly.

"Everyone is ready, the Jin Yuanbao spacecraft is about to leave for the asteroid belt, please return to your seat."

Yu Minghui nodded, came to his space chair very smoothly, fastened his seat belt, and then sent a notification to everyone through the broadcast on the spacecraft.

"Haha, I'm finally going, beautiful asteroid, here I come."

"Ula~Ulaa~"

"I'm here~"

As Yu Minghui's words fell, there were bursts of cheers from the spacecraft.

The Jinyuanbao spacecraft has a total of six members, all of whom are classmates of Yu Minghui and Yi Chen, and graduates of Galaxy University of Science and Technology, with different majors.

Yu Minghui graduated with a major in astronomy, and the captain is also responsible for finding asteroids with maximum 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 major in spacecraft design and manufacturing. She is the main spacecraft engineer, and she also has very good cooking skills, and is a part-time spacecraft chef.

Although there are only six people on the spaceship, each of them has different majors. At the same time, they also majored in other majors in Galaxy University of Science and Technology. They can be said to be all-rounders. Everyone has already obtained the astronaut certificate early, and has a certain period of space work and study experience, and can use the space environment.

"Yangtze River, Yangtze River, Jin Yuanbao request to set off."

After everyone was seated, Yi Chen also officially applied to the spaceport management to leave the port.

"Departure is permitted, and the journey is smooth sailing."

Soon, the application for the Jinyuanbao spacecraft was approved, the mechanical arms that fixed the Jinyuanbao spacecraft began to loosen, the second-generation antigravity engine on the spacecraft was also started, and the spacecraft began to slowly leave the Yangtze River space port. It began to accelerate in the direction of the asteroid belt.

Not long after the Jinyuanbao spaceship set off, more than ten spaceships such as Wangcai and Jinshan, which had already completed their supplies, also began to leave the Yangtze River space port one after another, heading towards the asteroid belt.

The 20 Miron B-class spaceships appear in a straight line in space. When connected together, they are very spectacular. It feels like a thousand sails are racing, like small fish in the interstellar sea, soaring in the vast expanse in the void.

As they get farther and farther away from the earth, the speed of these spaceships is also getting faster and faster. After a few days, each of them also began to adjust the angle and move in one direction. Each spaceship went to a different area, and it was impossible. Said the swarms all went to one area to mine asteroids.

The spacecraft only need to choose a small angle at the beginning, and as time goes by, the distance between them will become farther and farther. The distance will vary by more than 108,000 miles.

"At 80 kilometers per second, turn off the engine and start coasting."

Two days later, the anti-gravity engine of the Jinyuanbao spacecraft began to shut down, and relying on inertia, it moved towards the asteroid belt at a high speed.

"Jin Yuanbao, Jin Yuanbao, this is Wangcai number, this is Wangcai number, please answer when you receive it?"

On the Jinyuanbao spaceship, everyone just relaxed and prepared to take a good rest. A familiar voice came from the public signal of the spaceship's communication.

"Jin Yuanbao number received, Jin Yuanbao number received, Wangcai number, please tell me something?"

Yu Minghui listened to the familiar voice. This voice was the voice of his classmate Lin Yaohua. Lin Yaohua was hired by an interstellar mining company and became the most critical cosmic astronomy scientist in charge of finding asteroids on the Wangcai spacecraft.

Graduates of Galaxy University of Science and Technology have always been valued because of their outstanding abilities. The classmates of Yu Minghui and Lin Yaohua are very sought-after, all of them are core and important members of various interstellar mining companies.
