Chapter 143 The Second Fleet Returns

On the evening of December 27, although Lu Chen had already gone to rest

But on Blue Star, many people can’t sleep.

Because they knew what Lu Chen planned to do,

Satellites from various countries have captured the second batch of fleets returning.

The asteroid dragged behind the fleet was also observed,

Logically speaking, because the asteroid dragged by Lu Chen this time is not very big, satellites from various countries cannot observe it. However, one of the water resources asteroids has the upper ice layer reflecting sunlight.

Also, the metal surfaces on other asteroids are a little reflective.

Therefore, this asteroid was successfully observed by the satellites of these countries.

Seeing the asteroid dragged behind the five spaceships, all countries including the Dragon Kingdom were shocked.

Although this idea has been proposed, given the current situation, there is no need to implement it.

So after seeing it for the first time, I was still very shocked.

And Lu Chen's second batch of fleets arrived at the space factory with the second batch of equipment.

With the help of robots, the supercomputer has been successfully integrated into the entire system. Coupled with the sensors in various parts, the space factory can be considered to have operational conditions.

However, some debugging is still required to accurately control the temperature.

At this time, in the space factory, there is no asteroid in the smelting area, so according to the temperature sensor, the temperature at this time is -103°C.

But when all the equipment was taken over by the artificial intelligence in the supercomputer, the data here was also transferred to the computer.

In order to test the accuracy of the temperature, the central program asked the robot to push the prepared pure iron blocks and pure copper blocks into the smelting area.

This is to determine the accuracy of the temperature in the central smelting area,

The first thing that was pushed in was the copper block. The melting point of copper is 1085 degrees. At the same time, a large ice block was also pushed in.

When the copper begins to melt, the current temperature is around 1085 degrees, and the error will not be too large.

And there is also the most standard test object, which is ice cubes.

The temperature of the ice-water mixture is zero, so based on the ice-water mixture and the melting point of copper, the accuracy of the temperature sensor in the smelting area can be accurately judged.

After determining the arrival location of the test object, under the control of the computer, each lens and reflector began to adjust the angle.

As the light is focused on the two experimental objects,

The first thing to melt was the big ice cube, which soon turned into a mixture of ice and water.

At this time, the supercomputer begins to control the lens, reducing the light in the middle to keep the ice-water mixture in its state.

Finally, the temperature sensor stabilized at 0.5 degrees.

After adjusting for a long time, it started to heat up again.

When the water begins to vaporize, the temperature reaches 100 degrees.

Seeing this situation, it should be almost done.

At this time, the artificial intelligence adjusts the angle of the lens to focus sunlight on the copper block.

Soon the sensor showed that the temperature reached 1059 degrees, and the copper in the smelting area began to melt.

In less than ten minutes, the entire copper block turned into a round liquid ball.

As the sunlight moved away, the temperature gradually cooled, and finally cooled and solidified, turning into a round copper ball.

The last piece of iron was not spared, and the same operation was performed to push it into the smelting area.

However, unlike smelting copper blocks, in addition to verifying the temperature accuracy, this time the molten iron can also test the screening equipment for the three materials of iron, cobalt and nickel.

After the iron block turns into molten iron, the magnetic device is activated,

I saw that the molten iron began to be attracted and moved towards the magnetic equipment.

Finally arrived at the designated area successfully,

Seeing this, the artificial intelligence also knows that the test is successful. After passing the data to the main program zero, the intelligent program here enters a low-power sleep state.

During the testing in the space factory, the people on Blue Star did not give up monitoring and were always paying attention.

When I saw the brightness of the space factory increase, because the sunlight was too strong, I couldn’t see clearly what was going on inside.

And when the smelting is over, you can only see that the factory has entered a dormant state.

Therefore, in order to see how Lu Chen planned to mine the asteroid resources, we set up left-behind personnel to keep an eye on it.

However, the thinking of these countries was still at the point of landing on asteroids to mine ores. They never thought that Lu Chen planned to smelt the entire asteroid.

The next day, after Lu Chen had a good sleep, he felt refreshed.

The left-behind personnel from various countries, with panda eyes in their eyes, staggered back to sleep after handing over to the people who came to change shifts.

After breakfast, Lu Chen came to the studio and contacted Ling.

"Zero, how is the space factory?"

"Sir, the space factory has completed the basic debugging work and is now operating in a low power state,"

"Well, great, where is our fleet?"

"Sir, we are already approaching the Blue Star orbit and are expected to arrive at the Space Factory in four hours."

"Well, let's get the space factory ready,"

"Received, the order has been issued!"

As the order was issued, the space factory started and returned to normal working conditions.

This change was also discovered by monitors from various countries.

After notifying his superiors, he continued to pay attention to the space factory.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Chen woke up from the bedroom of the Origin.

As early as the morning, Lu Chen boarded the Origin and headed to the space factory.

After arriving, I had lunch aboard the Origin, took a nap, and waited for the fleet to return.

Now Lu Chen has also developed the habit of taking a nap. After all, if he doesn't sleep at noon, he will collapse in the afternoon.

After getting up, Ling informed Lu Chen that the fleet would arrive at the scene in 10 minutes and the entire fleet was slowing down.

At this time, Lu Chen stood on the bridge of the Origin and could already see the second batch of fleets slowing down in the distance.

The ion engine installed on the asteroid carried at the back is also synchronously exerting force and decelerating simultaneously.

Soon, ten minutes passed,

One of the spacecrafts sent an ice asteroid into the smelting area.

With the control of the supercomputer, light shines on the asteroid. Gradually, the ice begins to melt, and the small water droplets begin to gather together and turn into a huge water ball.

The high-temperature-resistant straw on the side began to suck away all the water balls, and then went into the back to cool them one by one, forming ice cubes again.

After an hour, the entire icy asteroid was decomposed, all water resources were sucked away, and only a little bit of asteroid residue remained in place.

After the microgravity system in the smelting area was turned on, the dregs fell on the platform below. After being collected, they were packed into containers, sealed, and transported to the spacecraft to be sent to the moon.

After virus inspection, it is determined that there is no problem and it will be used as soil in the planting area.

After everything was completed, Lu Chen took a look and found that the entire process only took more than two hours.

The next four asteroids also repeated the same operation.

The difference is that the different melting points of metals are used to heat the asteroid step by step to distinguish various metals.

After checking the time, I estimate that it will take until tomorrow morning to complete the smelting of the entire batch of asteroids.

In this case, Lu Chen flew to the moon with prepared ice cubes of water resources to store the water resources.

When Lu Chen returned, various countries on Blue Star also had different reactions.

The first is Long Guo. After Long Guo saw it, he felt happy. Lu Chen's actions opened up his thoughts.

And I don’t have to go as far as Mars to transport asteroids.

Among the asteroids in low-Earth orbit that were previously monitored, many asteroids are approaching the blue star, and some are moving away.

So as long as this part of the asteroid is intercepted, it will be enough for your own use.

Thinking of this, we started discussing the plan that night.

The next morning, the last day of this year, a space factory plan similar to Lu Chen's was released.

After choosing a place close to Blue Star in the opposite direction to Lu Chen’s Space Factory,

Starry Sky 5 went to the scene with the preliminary skeleton materials.

The lunar base has also begun the construction of large lenses and small reflectors.

As for the other three major countries, they have mixed feelings. After all, they have not developed their own moon yet, and if they go to develop asteroids, they are really not able to do so.

However, in order to save some of its image, we can only call on the Dragon Kingdom to calm down on the international platform. It should proceed steadily and not rush for success.

Long Guo also responded formally, saying that he understood, thank you for reminding,

However, that afternoon, Dragon Kingdom announced the first batch of captured asteroids.

This time the capture plan is for a large asteroid with a length of one thousand meters and the shortest point reaching 400 meters.

According to speculation, more than 1 billion tons of iron, 10 million tons of copper, 30 million tons of water resources, and a small gem mine of various gemstones have been discovered on this asteroid.

After the plan was announced on the national official website, there was great controversy among the people.

The biggest controversy is whether the domestic economy will be destabilized due to excessive metal resources if asteroid minerals continue to be mined.

For this situation, the state has also made a special explanation,

Among these asteroid resources, some very valuable resources will not be affected. As for conventional resources such as iron, they will not flow into the market for the time being.

Instead, Starry Sky 5 and Starry Sky 4 will be built on site to increase the number of spaceships and speed up the development of the universe.

After a period of development, the demand for steel will gradually increase.

At that time, asteroid minerals can be opened up to increase social resources.

For this kind of planning, everyone understood that the country was fully prepared, so everyone felt relieved.

When foreign countries see this situation, they also envy the Dragon Kingdom. The people's trust in the country is unmatched by other countries.

And the Dragon Kingdom has never let down its citizens.

When people abroad saw this situation, immigration applications flooded into Long Country again, allowing Long Country to gather a group of high-quality talents and greatly strengthen its own strength and foundation.
