Beneath Deep Space

"We found a large number of high-quality ore veins in GB131!"

“It’s time to dig again!”

The discovery of the metal planet was quickly compiled into a big news by the Propaganda Department, and was widely circulated in the Noah society.

This is the first time many people have heard of such a strange planet...

Humanity's first stop in the starry sky is full of surprises. In other words... space navigation has always been full of surprises.

People originally only planned to dig a little helium-3 to replenish energy. Unexpectedly, the generous universe directly gave a rich planet as a gift.

As a result, the entire project plan has to be changed.

Humanity will stay here longer...

Including mining, building spaceships, testing weapons and more.

"Is this a gift package given to us by the universe as a novice? We are indeed a race with full luck points..."

Even Alien Black was shouting, and at the same time there was a deep joy in his heart. He truly felt that his decision to join the "New Human Civilization" was a very wise one.

He even privately suggested that Yu Yifeng could stay here for a long time and work on a larger project...

"Planet-level spaceship!"

Hei shouted with a trembling face: "There are not many naturally generated metal planets like this. Its core must be harder deep down, and it may even be a large piece of complete metal! If our technology is up to standard, we can completely transform it into a planet. Big spaceship!"

"I think, except for a few parts, our technology...is barely competent! Yes, it can be done!"

"Other civilizations do not have such good luck. If they want to build a planetary spacecraft, they will have to spend a lot of effort to peel off tens of trillions of billions of tons of shell! This project will also take a long time for old interstellar civilizations. It’s been a long time…”

"Even...it's quite valuable to sell it to other civilizations!"

Black shouted exaggeratedly, his face flushed with excitement. He excitedly ran to the captain's room and shouted.

The cores of Earth-like planets that people know are all made of metal, because almost all planets originated from interstellar dust after the Big Bang.

When these primitive materials collide, they are affected by gravity.

Relatively speaking, non-metallic silicon substances with smaller masses float to the upper layer to form the earth's crust.

Elements with greater mass are precipitated inside, eventually forming a metallic core.

Metals with larger atomic weights, such as gold and silver, are all deep in the core.

But if the outer shell of the planet is forcibly peeled off due to certain factors, such a unique metallic planet will be formed...

Very rare indeed!

According to Hei, if another 800-1,000 kilometers of rock and soil are scraped off the surface, there will probably be a natural pure metal core inside!

A huge piece of iron... about 1,500 kilometers in diameter!

"Planetary core! A natural planetary spacecraft!"

"...I don't need to tell you the benefits. It's bigger and stronger... Anyway, we have a curvature engine. As long as we improve it, we can definitely push it." He chattered non-stop.

He truly cares about mankind.

For a supermassive planetary spacecraft like this, curvature propulsion will be the best choice.

If propelled by kinetic energy, the energy consumption is too much, and the inertia of the spacecraft becomes extremely large, making it very difficult to change direction.

"Planet-level spaceship, a symbol of strength and status!"

Facing the indifferent Yu Yifeng, Hei kept encouraging.

"What a planet-level spaceship, are you kidding me?"

Yu Yifeng just thought about it for a moment and rejected his plan without mercy.

Is there any mistake? Humans simply don’t have that kind of technology and strength!

Even if there is, it is impossible to implement it now. Will it continue to work here for tens of thousands of years?

It’s not that it’s impossible to scrape off 800-1,000 kilometers of rock and soil, but it’s just too much trouble.

Hei left with an annoyed face, and he also knew that he had made a bad idea.

If it were a civilization in the past, they would definitely be eager to start working...

"But the current new human civilization is still not strong enough. But it doesn't matter, the time is still short... If this planet is placed here, it will not escape."

No matter what, humanity's first stop in the starry sky turned out to be the core of an Earth-like planet. It was quite lucky, at least it brought plenty of minerals.

The next moment the safety inspection was completed, a large number of heavy spacecraft flew out of the Deep Space.

This powerful shuttle can easily achieve a driving force of 10,000 tons, and there are complete factories inside. Including various smelting plants, nuclear power plants, etc.

They will fly to various mining areas on the planet and quickly lay down bases.

"Mining Legion, let's go!"

Yu Yifeng reviewed the relevant reports and thought boldly in his heart.

Compared with the old interstellar civilization, human beings are temporarily unable to compare. But compared to the past, human beings are now hundreds or thousands of times more powerful.

This kind of strength is completely different from the time of Mars and the time when we were wandering in the starry sky...

The robots that lay the rails are constantly being transported down by transport planes.

When humans left the planet Nix, they filled the Noah with cargo, including a large amount of machinery and factory equipment.

Although some low-end goods were left for the lizards, most people packed them up and took them away, which now come in handy.

The mass of planet GB131 is equivalent to that of the moon, but its density is slightly higher. The gravitational acceleration on the surface is not high, which also facilitates spacecraft transportation to a certain extent.

"There are too many high-quality mineral veins, and the quality is generally very good..."

"Common metals such as iron... shouldn't be dug up. There are still a lot of them in the Noah... Alas, if we dig any more, we won't be able to fit them in." A geology expert suggested. He looked at the warehouse data and felt a little anxious.

"The main ones are helium-3, uranium ore and rare metals that are lacking in the Knicks. Our other warehouses must contain these."

Yu Yifeng looked at the report form and felt hot in his heart.

The deeper you go into the earth's crust, the better the quality of the minerals, that's for sure.

Various data are very exaggerated. The quality of various uranium ores even reaches more than 6%. There is still iron element in the iron ore, and it can be used by just smelting it? !

"Hey, why did you go to the Knicks so hard to mine in the first place... You can already pick it up here!" Someone complained, but his face was filled with joy.

Man is indeed a greedy creature, and it is normal to eat from the bowl and look at the pot.

But human greed is nothing when it comes to the entire planet!

Yu Yifeng also smiled and kept sighing, feeling that he saw mountains of gold and silver, but his pockets were not big enough.

Just like Hei said, humans...can't wait to eat all of this planet.

But...impossible!

Its total mass reaches 700 billion tons! It's about the same mass as the moon.

For humans, this order of magnitude is still too exaggerated. Humans’ current capabilities can only dig a little bit at most.

The Deep Space is 40 kilometers long, which is tens of billions of tons. Of course, the material stored in Noah may be hundreds of billions or trillions of tons, but it is still only a drop in the bucket...

Seven hundred billion tons. Even if humans can dig 100 million tons or even one billion tons a day, they will have to dig it forever...

"Then let's do this... Adjust the plan. All the more difficult ore veins will be abandoned. We will only mine open-pit mines with particularly good quality! We will not abandon conventional metals such as iron. We will only mine nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, chromium, etc. Rare minerals..." Yu Yifeng finally made the decision.
