Universe dominance

Chapter 226, Interstellar Miner

In outer space, a Dumbo spaceship has just circled the Earth for dozens of times, reaching an initial speed of 25 kilometers per second, and is heading straight for the asteroid belt.

The spaceship has the logo of the "Universal Hand" technology company, with a huge palm with five fingers open. This is a super technology company that can rank among the top five among many Chinese space technology companies. It is a behemoth with a market value of more than 10 trillion Chinese yuan, but there are more than ten Dumbo spaceships going to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids. More than 20 asteroids can be mined from the asteroid belt every year, and this income alone can reach more than 1 trillion Chinese yuan.

"Keep accelerating!"

In the spaceship, Captain Lu Yuan looked at the Earth, which was getting smaller and smaller, with a little reluctance in his heart, but more of a yearning and fortitude for future life.

As the captain of a new era asteroid mining spaceship, Lu Yuan's income is very considerable. Although it takes nearly half a year to travel to the asteroid belt, and after returning, he needs to recuperate on the Earth for about a year and a half before he can go out again, that is, he can only travel to the asteroid belt once every 2 years.

Although it takes two years to go to an asteroid and take it away, one trip is enough to support one's life. Not to mention the captain, each member of the captain's team earns at least 50 million yuan for one trip. If they are lucky enough to mine asteroids with higher value, the commission will be very considerable, and the income will easily exceed 100 million yuan.

Earning hundreds of millions of yuan from one trip to an asteroid is enough to make countless people crazy. The value of the Chinese currency is extremely high nowadays, and such a huge amount of money is enough to make people worry-free for life.

Of course, the income is very high, and not everyone can go. In addition to the basic requirements of level 5 astronauts, there are also very high requirements for cosmic astronomy, aerospace power, mechanical maintenance, etc. Almost everyone can be regarded as an all-rounder and can handle many aspects of things.

Of course, what is more important is to have a good psychological quality, be more peaceful, and not impulsive. The personality test must meet the standard, because after sailing in the void for such a long time, everyone gradually discovered that even people who are usually very peaceful are prone to become excited and irritable.

Astronauts often fight with each other. Some of them are even very serious. Several spaceships mining asteroids were destroyed in space because of conflicts among the crew.

Later, everyone learned from Fuyun Group that this was caused by void syndrome. Although they also knew that they had to carry a lot of green plants to alleviate it, these space companies only recruited people with calm personalities to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids for safety and security. After all, a Dumbo spaceship is expensive. If the astronauts on this ship have an accident, the loss will be even greater.

In addition to the fact that astronauts and scientists who go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids are difficult to find, there is another important reason why their income is so high.

Because they have been sailing in space for a long time and have not returned to the ground for half a year to be affected by gravity again, the ordinary bodies of these astronauts will be greatly affected. On the one hand, the calcium in the bones is constantly lost, and on the other hand, the secretion system and digestive system in the body are greatly affected.

Although the Chinese government has repeatedly emphasized that people who work in space and the universe for a long time must exercise for at least 4 hours a day to maintain the calcium in the astronauts' bodies, this exercise is limited after all. Many bones and muscles cannot be exercised at all. All bones on Earth are affected by gravity.

So although taking a trip to an asteroid can make money, astronauts often suffer from many lifelong incurable diseases. Some serious ones even become disabled and cannot even take care of themselves.

Many problems such as bone calcium loss, endocrine system disorders, digestive system problems, and malformed organ development have deterred countless astronauts. Astronauts themselves are high-income people, and many people do not want to take risks.

Of course, scientists are trying to find ways to solve these problems. As long as many astronauts insist on exercising, taking medicine, and maintaining long-term recuperation after returning to Earth, they are basically fine.

The Dumbo spaceship was still accelerating. The crew had nothing to do, so they all went to exercise. No one wanted to make money but not enjoy life. They valued their health very much. It really fits the old saying that health is the capital of revolution.

"This is the second time to go to the asteroid belt."

Lu Yuan did not go to exercise. He stayed in the command room. He had the experience of going to the asteroid belt once. He knew that there was no rush to exercise during the beginning period. What he really needed to do was to return to the earth. At this time, he looked at the starry sky outside. The starry sky was dotted with stars, and he was thinking about his future path.

Lu Yuan was an ambitious person. He was not satisfied with working for others. Otherwise, he would have obtained enough funds to enjoy the second half of his life when he went to the asteroid belt last time.

He had his own dream. He wanted to set up his own interstellar mining company, which required a huge amount of funds. Not to mention that a Dumbo spaceship alone would require hundreds of billions of Chinese yuan. Although this little money in his hand was enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing in the future, it was far from enough to buy a Dumbo spaceship.

Of course, Lu Yuan is also very aware of the capital he owns. This is his second trip to the asteroid belt to mine resources. It can be said that he is the most experienced person in the entire industry. Very few people will go to the asteroid belt multiple times to mine. Asteroids.

With rich experience, calm and calm command and control ability, Lu Yuan is very clear that the only thing he lacks is funds. As long as he has funds, Lu Yuan believes that he can be like those legendary rich people in the space age in a very short time. Get rich suddenly.

Not long ago, he heard that Chinese officials were about to introduce a policy. The purpose of this policy was to encourage more people or groups to participate in the asteroid mining industry, because now China is in urgent need of a large amount of resources. The asteroids in the asteroid belt are The largest and cheapest resource.

The general content of this policy is that as long as an individual or group intends to mine asteroids, Chinese officials can provide preferential loan support and vigorously encourage and support the development of the asteroid mining industry.

China has issued many policies similar to this one. Because these policies are to promote China's development in the space field, they are all faced with new individuals and groups. Old groups and individuals cannot enjoy these policies. , not even if it’s a company owned by someone else. Therefore, a large number of space technology companies can be created almost every time, making countless people who were previously silent become rich overnight, and becoming a topic that countless people around the world talk about.

China's current situation in the space field is actually largely due to various support and support policies. Otherwise, it would easily cost tens of billions or hundreds of billions to invest, not to mention individuals, or large companies. Enterprises and large consortiums will all seem to be a little overwhelmed, and almost always need to unite a very large team to be able to mobilize.

After Lu Yuan heard the news, he was naturally excited. He knew that his opportunity had come, so even though his family opposed Lu Yuan's return to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids, Lu Yuan still persisted because he wanted to become a new legend. , to become a super rich man that others envy, of course, the most important thing is to realize your own life value.

After staying in space for a long time, he has fallen in love with life in space, and has already dedicated his life to the space industry, so he feels that the value of his life can only be reflected in the space field.

Otherwise, if he was just content to be a rich man with no worries about food and clothing, Lu Yuan would have been able to do it two years ago. The life he spent recuperating at home in the past two years made him feel too comfortable, too boring, and in the space age. It can be said that everyone is full of adventurous spirit and infinite yearning for the vast void of the universe.

"I wonder if I will have the opportunity to go to other star systems to take a look."

Lu Yuan looked at the stars outside and imagined his future adventurous life. Although he had a gentle personality, at heart he was the kind of person who was uneasy with the status quo. He liked activities such as adventure very much. Any unknown world could arouse his strong passion. interest.

"Buzz!"

Just when Lu Yuan was in a daze, the radar on the spacecraft rang loudly, pulling Lu Yuan back from his thoughts.

"What's going on? Why does the radar sound the alarm?"

Lu Yuan immediately became energetic and quickly checked the radar data.

"This, this, is so fast, it's incredible."

Lu Yuan looked at a point on the radar, which was approaching his Dumbo spaceship at an unimaginable speed. The speed of this point reached ten times that of his Dumbo spacecraft, and it was still accelerating. You know At this time, the speed of Lu Yuan's spacecraft exceeds 50 kilometers per second, which means that the speed of this object that is rapidly approaching it has reached an unprecedented speed of 500 kilometers per second.

"What exactly is it? Is it an asteroid or a comet? But according to the latest astronomical information, it is impossible to encounter it."

Guessing in his mind, Lu Yuan controlled the astronomical telescope on the Dumbo spacecraft to look at the object.

"Alien spaceship?"

When Lu Yuan saw the object approaching him rapidly through the astronomical telescope, he couldn't help but scream because he saw a flying saucer like one in a science fiction movie.
