cosmic hegemony

Chapter 226, Interstellar Miner
In the outer space of the earth, a Dumbo spacecraft has just circled the earth dozens of times, with 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 on it, and a huge slap with five fingers spread out. This is currently a super technology company that can be ranked in the top five of China's many space technology companies, and a behemoth with a market value of more than ten trillion Chinese dollars. , but there are more than ten Dumbo spacecraft that go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids, and they can mine more than 20 asteroids from the asteroid belt every year. This income alone can reach trillions of Chinese dollars.

"Continue to accelerate!"

In the spaceship, the captain Lu Yuan looked at the smaller and smaller earth, with a trace of reluctance in his heart, but more of yearning and perseverance for future life.

As the captain of an asteroid mining spaceship in the new era, Lu Yuan's income is very considerable. Although it takes nearly half a year to go to and from the asteroid belt, and after returning, he needs to cultivate on the earth for about a year and a half to be able to do so. Go out again, that is to say, it takes 2 years to go back and forth to the asteroid belt.

Although it takes two years to take a trip to an asteroid, those who do this business can eat for a lifetime, not to mention him as the captain. The income of each member of the captain is at least 2 million. If you are lucky and can mine asteroids with high value, the commission will be very considerable, and the income will easily exceed the 5000 million mark.

Walking on an asteroid to earn hundreds of millions of income, such a high return is enough to make countless people crazy about it, and the value of Chinese coins is extremely high today, such a huge amount is enough to make people live comfortably for a lifetime.

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

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

It often happens that astronauts fight with each other, and a few times it is even very serious. Several spaceships mining asteroids are directly destroyed in space because of the conflicts among the crew members.

Later, everyone learned from the Fuyun Group that this was caused by the void syndrome. Although they also knew that they had to bring a lot of green plants to alleviate it, these space companies only recruited people with a peaceful personality to go to the small space for the sake of safety and security. Asteroids are mined in the planetary belt. After all, a Dumbo spacecraft is expensive. If the astronauts on this ship have an accident, the loss will be even greater.

In addition to the difficulty of finding astronauts and scientists who go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids, there is another important reason why their income is so high.

Because of long-term voyages in space, they have not returned to the ground for half a year to be affected by gravity again, so the ordinary bodies of these astronauts will be greatly affected. On the one hand, the calcium in the bones is constantly losing, and on the other hand, The secretory system, digestive system, etc. inside the body are greatly affected.

Although Huaxia officials have repeatedly emphasized that people who have been engaged in space and space for a long time must exercise for at least 4 hours a day to maintain the calcium in the astronauts' bodies, but this exercise is limited after all. Without exercise, all bones on Earth are affected by gravity.

Therefore, although taking a trip to the asteroid makes money, astronauts often suffer from many life-long incurable diseases, some of which are serious and even directly become disabled and cannot even take care of themselves.

Bone calcium loss, secretion system disorders, digestive system problems, abnormal development of body organs and many other problems have discouraged countless astronauts. Astronauts themselves are high-income people, and there are many people who do not want to take risks.

Of course, scientists are working hard to find ways to solve these problems. Many astronauts are basically fine as long as they keep exercising, take medicine, and maintain long-term recuperation after returning to Earth.

The Dumbo spaceship is still accelerating, and the crew members have nothing to do, so they all ran to exercise. No one wants to make money but enjoy life. They value their health very much. As the old saying goes, the body is the capital of revolution.

"This is the second trip to the asteroid belt."

Lu Yuan didn't go to exercise. He stayed here 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 this period of time. What he really needed to do was to return to the earth. Looking at the starry sky outside, the starry sky is full of stars, and he is thinking about his future path.

Lu Yuan is an ambitious person, he is not satisfied with working for others, otherwise, he has already obtained enough funds to enjoy the second half of his life when he went to the asteroid belt last time.

He has his own dream, he wants to form his own interstellar mining company, and this requires a huge amount of money, not to mention that just a Dumbo spaceship needs tens of billions of Chinese coins, this little money in his hand Although it is enough to live comfortably in the future, it is far from enough to buy a Dumbo spaceship.

Of course, Lu Yuan is also very aware of the capital he owns. This is the second time he has gone to the asteroid belt to mine resources. It can be said that he is the most experienced person in the entire industry. Few people will go to the asteroid belt to mine many times. asteroid.

Possessing rich experience, composure, and calm command and control ability, Lu Yuan knows 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 men in the space age, and he will be able to fight in a very short period of time. Just get rich.

Not long ago, he heard that Huaxia officials are about to introduce a policy. The purpose of this policy is to encourage more people or groups to participate in the asteroid mining industry, because now Huaxia urgently needs a lot of resources, and the asteroids in the asteroid belt are The largest and cheapest resource.

The general content of this policy is that as long as individuals or groups intend to mine asteroids, the Chinese government can provide preferential loan support to vigorously encourage and support the development of the asteroid mining industry.

Similar to this kind of policy, Huaxia has issued a lot back and forth, because these policies are to promote the development of Huaxia in the space field, so they are all facing new individuals and groups, and old groups and individuals cannot enjoy these policies , even if it is a company owned by other people.So almost every time, a large number of space technology companies can be created, making countless people who were silent before get rich overnight, and it has become a topic that countless people in the whole world talk about.

China's current situation in the field of space is actually largely due to various support and support policies. Otherwise, the huge investment of tens of billions or hundreds of billions, let alone an individual, is a big one. Enterprises and large financial groups will seem a little powerless, and almost all of them need to unite a very large team to be able to consume.

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

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

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 2 years ago. The two years of recuperating at home made him feel too comfortable, too boring, space age Everyone can be said to be full of adventurous spirit, and full of infinite yearning for the vast universe.

"I don't know if I have the opportunity to go to other star systems to take a look and have a look."

Lu Yuan looked at the stars outside and imagined his future adventurous life. Although he has a gentle personality, he is the kind of person who is restless in the status quo. He likes activities such as adventures very much. Any unknown world can arouse his strong passion. interest.

"Buzz!"

When Lu Yuan was in a daze, the radar on the spaceship rang loudly, pulling Lu Yuan back from his thoughts.

"What's going on? Why does the radar call the police?"

Lu Yuan regained his energy immediately, and then quickly checked the radar data.

"This, this, the speed is so fast, it's unbelievable."

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

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

While guessing in his mind, Lu Yuan manipulated the astronomical telescope on the Dumbo spaceship to look at that object.

"Alien spaceship?"

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