The Technology Tree of Xueba - Chapter 407

Zhou Yu agreed with the scientist’s request, and he began to recall other scientists and engineers scattered on Ceres.

The Endeavour spacecraft is preparing to return.

The Endeavour spacecraft nuclear power reactor runs at high speeds and provides huge power for gravitational engines.

The gravity engine began to adjust its direction, analyzing the gravity and space conditions around the Endeavour spacecraft.

The gravitational engine quickly locks in the most obvious solar gravitational force. The entire spaceship seems to be pulled by the gravitational force of the sun, and quickly moves closer to the earth’s orbit.

The Endeavour spacecraft flexibly shuttles inside the asteroid belt, in order to take full advantage of the gravitational pull of the sun and other planets to alleviate the pressure on miniature nuclear fusion reactors.

The Endeavour spacecraft’s trajectory presents a large arc, heading towards the earth.

From the perspective of the spacecraft Endeavour spacecraft, it is not the shortest trajectory, but it has taken a long way.

The trajectory of the Endeavour spacecraft combined with the gravity map can easily find the Endeavour spacecraft, which has fully used the surrounding gravity.

The Endeavour spacecraft achieves the best balance between saving energy and operating time.

After several days of voyage, the Endeavour spacecraft has quickly passed through the asteroid belt and entered the orbit of Mars.

It is also on the side near Mars that asteroids are mostly composed of metallic asteroids.

Some metallic asteroids are simply walking veins.

When the spacecraft came here, its resource detection radar was turned on to its maximum.

Without delaying the formation of the spacecraft, mining some resource-rich asteroids, no one will refuse.

The resource detection radars on the Endeavour spacecraft constantly collect data on the asteroids they detect.

The engineers saw the data from the resource detection radar and they were not at all concerned.

Most of the asteroids detected by the resource detection radar are the most common asteroids.

Most are composed of a mixture of metals, carbonaceous, and silicates.

Even if there are metal veins and non-metal veins on these asteroids, it is necessary to detect the veins in advance and invest in the cost of mining.

The resources on these asteroids will definitely not let them go for the mining company.

The Endeavour spacecraft is passing by the asteroid belt, and certainly will not mine these very troublesome asteroids.

The Endeavour spacecraft traverses a trajectory in space, and every minute it travels, it will detect thousands of asteroids.

They haven’t discovered a long time in the voyage, it is worthy of the asteroid captured by the spacecraft Endeavour.

Zhou Yu is feeling unlucky and no resource-rich asteroids are nearby.

He suddenly heard that the engineer would be pleasantly surprised to report: “I found an asteroid with a diameter of 25 kilometers. 92% of the elements on this asteroid are gold.

It is a veritable golden planet and worthy of our capture. “

Zhou Yu immediately ordered: “Start capturing this golden asteroid immediately.”

Zhou Yu’s heart was full of excitement. The 25 km-diameter gold asteroid contains more gold reserves than the gold reserves that have been proven on the earth.

Gold is a precious metal. Even if gold is mined in places like the moon, its price has not dropped much.

The most critical is the high-end equipment space wave detector of Spark Technology, which has a very high demand for gold.

No matter the space wave detector is applied in the macro field or the micro field, it can play a very strong role.

The core component of the Endeavour spacecraft’s radar system is the space wave detector.

This is why the Endeavour spacecraft’s resource detection radar can find resources on asteroids.

The space wave detector has many advantages, and its only disadvantage is that the manufacturing cost is too high.

Not to mention the ultra-high technology needed to make a space wave detector, it’s just the hundreds of tons of gold material it needs, and that’s the quality of an astronomy class.

The most important thing is that the value of gold is extremely high, and you can’t buy much gold with money.

Not to mention that gold reserves are really scarce. Even buying out gold on the earth can make several space wave detectors.

These extremely expensive raw materials can only be met by developing cosmic resources.

The engineers responsible for resource extraction on the Endeavour spacecraft immediately began to act after hearing Zhou Yu’s orders.

The radar system on the spaceship began to analyze the situation of the gold asteroid, mainly analyzing the crustal situation of the gold asteroid, including the density and hardness of the crust matter.

The engineers analyzed the basic data of the gold asteroids, and they began to calculate the data, preparing to complete the plan to capture the asteroids.

The launch port of the spacecraft opened, and soon it flew out of 32 cylinders with a length of 18 meters and a diameter of 2 meters.

These cylinders soon flew over the gold asteroids, arranged in a pre-calculated orientation.

The front end of the cylinder is composed of multiple drills. The drills are driven into the depths of the gold asteroid’s crust immediately by the motor.

The drill bit tightly tied the cylinder to the asteroid through a steel cable.

After the cylinder was firmly fixed on the asteroid, these devices were signaled by the lunar base to command them in a unified way.

This cylinder is a miniature nuclear fusion thruster, which ejects orange flames, pushing the gold asteroid to change its orbital direction.

The entire process of the Endeavour spacecraft to capture the gold asteroid, taking the data calculation time, only took 53 seconds.

The Endeavour spacecraft began preparations tens of kilometers away from the gold asteroid. When he arrived near the gold asteroid, he just released the nuclear fusion reactor thruster.

The Endeavour spacecraft gallops past, but the gold asteroid is slowly moving towards the earth in the power provided by the nuclear fusion thruster, and its destination is a metal smelter on the periphery of the moon.

Zhou Yu saw the spacecraft Endeavour successfully capture the asteroid ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ with a smile on his face.

This is the asteroid capture scheme he designed, and the first experiment was a great success.

Spark science and technology scientists have proposed many asteroid capture programs, but because of obvious shortcomings, they are only suitable for use in specific environments.

For example, the asteroid was captured into a spaceship by a robotic arm.

This solution must keep the spacecraft and asteroids relatively stationary, and the asteroids to be captured must be very small.

Capturing asteroids by means of a drag net requires this spacecraft to be extremely slow.

Otherwise, pulling the asteroid at high speed can easily cause a traffic accident and directly crash the spacecraft.

Through the radar system on the spacecraft Endeavour, Zhou Yu watched the lunar base command the nuclear fusion thruster, pushing the gold asteroid to slowly move through the universe.

He said in a joke tone: “Asteroids, asteroids. You have grown up, and you have to learn to go to a metal smelter yourself.”
