Super Dimension Technology Era

A lot of troubles in Blue Star kept Huang Mingzhe and others busy.

In the 240,000-kilometer blue star orbit, Huo Qubing is parked next to a metallic asteroid, and it is inseparable from the asteroid through synchronous companion flight mode.

Luo Feng, who had just finished dinner, was floating in the cockpit.

"Old Wang, how much have you collected?"

Vice-captain Wang Gangsheng, who was immersed in his work, raised his head and replied: "76.5 tons have been mined. This would have been very developed in the AD era."

Luo Feng took a look at the data: "The cabin is almost full. Nanorobot mining is amazing. Not only is it fast, but the purity of the mining is over 99%."

"That goes without saying. Captain, you look at the equipment while I eat first." Wang Gangsheng floated from his seat and floated behind.

"give it to me."

Luo Feng sat on his seat. In front of him was a dazzling row of control dashboards, with large and small buttons and data. For ordinary people, it would be impossible to use them skillfully without several years of training.

It is more convenient for new humans. They can directly download the "Huo Qubing-level spaceship driving skills" and with the assistance of biological computers, they can become very proficient in it in a few days.

A qualified astronaut in the AD era needed several years of training, but an astronaut or space force soldier in the new era only needs a few days to be put into work. This is the gap.

On the instrument panel, the reserve data of one of the cabins is displayed as [iridium: 76.5...tons], and the decimal point behind it is constantly beating, indicating that the nanorobot is collecting iridium from the asteroid.

Iridium is one of the rarest elements in the blue star's crust, with an average mass ratio of only 0.001 parts per million.

Our common gold is 40 times more abundant than iridium, platinum is 10 times more abundant, and silver and mercury are both 80 times more abundant.

The abundance of tellurium is similar to that of iridium. There are only three other stable elements rarer than iridium: rhenium, ruthenium and rhodium, of which the abundance of the latter two is one-tenth that of iridium.

In contrast, the content of iridium in asteroids is much higher, generally above 0.5 parts per million. Especially on metallic asteroids, the storage content will be even higher.

Iridium is generally associated with platinum, osmium and iridium ores on blue stars. In fact, there is a lot of iridium in the core of blue stars. The problem is that it is difficult to mine.

The asteroid that Luo Feng and the others are mining stores about 80,000 tons of iridium. The total amount of iridium mined by Blue Star in history is not even a fraction of this reserve.

That's why Wang Gangsheng said that in the AD era, these 80,000 tons of iridium element were a huge wealth.

Of course, for the new humans in the new era, these iridium elements are still an important resource. Although there are no real private enterprises now, these things will still be circulated into social production.

…

drop!

Huh? There is a notification. Luo Feng knew that a communication was coming as soon as he heard the sound.

"Report, the Blue Moon system headquarters sent a notice, requiring us to complete the collection of minerals and return to the Xinwenchang Satellite City in low-Earth orbit immediately."

"Response received, estimated return flight around 5 hours and 24 minutes."

"yes."

At this time, the cabin storage capacity has increased to 77.2 tons.

The available storage load of the Huo Qubing class is 246 tons, of which 30 tons are occupied by food, fresh water, and daily necessities; 20 Nano Guardians (space model) are occupied, occupying 180 tons; and the remaining 36 tons are flexible useable loads.

This time Huo Qubing cleared half of the nano-defenders to make up a usable payload of 100 tons.

5 hours and 24 minutes later.

The iridium element stored in the cabin reached the upper limit of 100 tons. Huo Qubing started the nuclear fusion engine and returned to the New Wenchang Satellite City in Blue Star's low-Earth orbit.

Since it is returning to Blue Star's low-Earth orbit, Huo Qubing's speed is not too fast, only reaching about 10 kilometers per second. Its flight trajectory is not a straight line to the New Wenchang Satellite City, but a large circular orbit that is the most fuel-efficient.

Seven hours later, Huo Qubing finally reached near 1,500 kilometers of low-Earth orbit, where the Xinwenchang Satellite City is located.

After braking, Huo Qubing slowly parked on one side. Luo Feng looked at the New Wenchang Satellite City through the observation window.

Compared with half a month ago, the current Xin Wenchang Satellite City has expanded more than ten times in size, weighing about 3,500 tons, and its volume is about 6 times that of Huo Qubing.

The staff of the satellite city pulled down the 100 tons of stored iridium elements, and then replenished the Huo Qubing with nuclear fuel, living supplies and fresh water.

The Space Force's Blue Moon Headquarters is temporarily located in the Xinwenchang Satellite City. The reason why it is temporary is because the Space Force's Blue Moon Headquarters is planned to be set up on the moon, and this is just a transitional office space.

Luo Feng and deputy captain Wang Gangsheng went to the temporary office of the Space Force together.

Floating in the traffic pipe, there are nanorobots inside the traffic pipe, which can safely and accurately push astronauts to the designated cabin.

The upper third of the traffic pipe is made of high-strength transparent material, allowing part of the satellite city and starry sky to be seen.

At this time, there are many small spacecrafts coming in and out of the satellite city port. These small spacecrafts are space garbage recovery spacecrafts. They use nanorobots to decompose space garbage and then bring it back to Xinwenchang Satellite City for processing.

The previous great escape of the HRE Federation and the Judas Temple left hundreds of large and medium-sized launch vehicles and spacecraft in low-Earth orbit and medium-high orbit, as well as the scrapped near-Earth space port of the Illuminati. For future safety issues, These space junk must be dealt with as soon as possible.

The sex was great for a while and ended in tears.

After more than half a month of processing, the New Wenchang Satellite City had cleared less than one-fifth of the large debris. As for the small debris, it could only be broken down using gamma rays.

…

He was pushed all the way to the temporary office of the Space Force by nano-robots.

The commander of the Space Force's Blue Moon Headquarters was a middle-aged man with a slightly dignified square face. He took off his brainwave glasses.

"Luo Feng, Hong Kong Sheng, you are here just in time, there is a mission from above."

"Commander Long, please give me instructions." Luo Feng saluted.

Long Limin handed a virtual document to Luo Feng: "This is the transfer notice and the lunar intelligence summary package."

Luo Feng received the notice, and it turned out that he was transferred to serve as the commander of the Lunar Squadron and concurrently as the base commander of the Lunar Defense Base.

After loading the lunar intelligence summary package into his biological computer, he soon understood the current detailed situation of the moon.

Long Limin continued: "By the way, take the newly commissioned Huo Guang to the moon."

"OK."

At present, the only remaining Blue Star fleets are the Wei Qing, Li Guang, and the Jin Rixi, which is about to enter service.

"One more thing, considering that gamma rays are restrained by anti-gamma gel, a batch of Jingke missiles will be sent from the ground the day after tomorrow."

"Jingke missile? New product?" Luo Feng asked with interest.

Long Limin explained: "It was modified half a month ago. It uses a nuclear fusion direct injection engine. It weighs about 2.4 tons. A warship is equipped with 20 of them, so it can be used sparingly."

"No problem." Luo Feng nodded.

This time, in addition to building a lunar defense base and a lunar fleet, they have another mission.

Responsible for clearing the Keton star base located in the Blue Star's 930,000-kilometer orbit and completely clearing the Blue Moon system. [Note: The orbital range of Blue Star is approximately 1.5 million kilometers in radius. ]

The newly formed lunar fleet is preparing to march to the moon.
