Metropolis:Technology Maniacs

the astronauts began to take the landing module as the center and busied themselves in a few kilometers around.

Some people seem to be making landmarks and planning buildings.

Others, with various instruments, are making detailed exploration of the surrounding geological conditions.

Another astronaut is driving a shovel like object, cleaning up the surrounding debris.

The surface of the fireball is full of all kinds of rock mounds. What he is doing now is clearing and leveling.

It looks like they're going to build a house on top of the fireball. They're busy with different things.

Of course, they can't build anything on the fireball this time. At least they don't have enough materials around them. They can build even the smallest building on the fireball.

But it doesn't mean that it won't work in the future. Next time, someone will come to build the star fireball base.

So now the astronauts are preparing for the establishment of the fireball base.

This month, they have to do similar work, to clear the surrounding areas of several kilometers.

A few kilometers away from the landing module is where the future fireball base will be located.

This landing module landed on the fireball, but after careful selection, it did not land at random.

The landing module chose to find a landing site, but after a long time of research, the best location was finally selected.

This area is very suitable for future construction, so it will be used as a landing place.

The astronauts are now in a very flat terrain, there is not much relief around the terrain, want to develop around will not encounter any obstacles.

And the geological structure here is also very good, can withstand the construction of various buildings.

The most important thing is that not far from here, there is a high-quality shallow iron vein.

This iron ore is basically located on the surface of the earth. Mining is very simple, and the vein can be seen without digging much.

And the iron content of iron ore is also very high, even more than the highest quality iron ore on earth.

This super high quality iron ore smelting process is very simple, it is easy to get finished steel.

We should know that steel is the most basic industrial raw material. As long as we have steel, many things can be processed in situ on the fireball, and there is no need to transport it from the distant earth.

Yesu finally chose this site as the site of the star fireball base because of this high-quality shallow iron ore vein.

This iron vein is so rare that mining and smelting are so easy.

If this ore vein is on the earth, how many companies will plunder it.

Unfortunately, there are not so good iron veins on the earth, and those companies can only look at it with envy.

This is the advantage of developing outer space. It is only the spark ball closest to the earth. There are already mineral resources.

And the star fireball is more than just a vein, there are many excellent minerals waiting to be developed there.

Iron ore is just a big demand for construction base, but its value is not very high.

At least the iron ore mined by the fireball can't be transported back to the earth to sell for money. It's a kind of brain damage to transport iron ore, which is worthless, from such a long distance.

Freight alone is countless times higher than the price of iron ore, it is not worth shipping back to earth.

But this is not to say that the development of fireballs is meaningless. Iron ore is not valuable, but there are valuable things on the fireballs.

On the last detailed exploration of the fireball, Yesu found several platinum veins on the fireball.

The gold reserves of these platinum veins above the fireball far exceed the largest platinum mine on the earth, and the mining difficulty is lower than that of the veins on the earth.

If yiesu establishes a base on the fireball, it can start to mine the platinum on the fireball.

Platinum is a very valuable metal, the reserves on the earth are very low, so the price has been high.

The platinum reserves on the fireball have been detected to be dozens of times that of the earth. Therefore, it is still promising to exploit platinum on the fireball.

Although from the point of view of the cost of transportation from the fireball to the earth, it is still a bit of a loss to transport platinum back.

But the technology is constantly improving, and the cost of space transportation will certainly continue to drop in the future.

Ye Su's new type of rocket has been under development. After the rocket is developed, the cost of space transportation will drop again.

It is estimated that transportation costs will be reduced to a profitable level when platinum can be mined from the fireball.Yesu will be able to make money on this, and a steady stream of platinum will flood the market on earth.

It is possible that the price of platinum will fall due to the exploitation of fireballs, but it is still of great significance to transport platinum back from the fireball.

The stability of platinum is very high, which is suitable for industrial raw materials.

Therefore, platinum, a precious metal, can not only be used as jewelry, but also has great practical value.

Ye Su knows that many space vehicles in the future will need to use a lot of platinum.

If you only rely on the earth to buy, even if ye Su's wealth can't make up so much demand for platinum.

The platinum on the fireball also solved this problem, which is one of the purposes of Yesu's development of starfireball.

From here, we can see how barren the earth is. Compared with the vast universe, the resources above the earth are not worth mentioning.

Therefore, going to space is the only way for human beings. There are countless resources waiting for human beings in the solar system alone.

The astronauts are busy with the preparatory work on the fireball, and the technicians on this side of the earth are not idle.

The entire space technology team is now in a tense and busy state, except for the space mission center where people need to monitor the situation above the fireball.

Their research and development team is busy with their own technology.

Many new technologies are needed for the establishment of the star fireball base. Now these technicians are in the process of preparation.
