Minke's black technology

Chapter 421 Space Mining
Cyborg surgery has made the moon lively. At least seven countries have used this technology to touch the threshold of space colonization, and then all ran to this natural satellite to build base cities.

For a while, it felt like a hundred flowers were blooming, but there were actually only two competitors in the space age, and the Bald Eagle was far behind. In other words, only Rabbit was a RMB player, and the others were all free players.

After all, not everyone can afford the construction of the space industry. Even the bald eagle can only focus on the space service industry, and will not throw money into the bottomless pit of the space industry, because capitalists are very clear that such behavior must be lost. earn.

In particular, the initial investment is huge, and the cost recovery is extremely long. It is not a good place for capital, unless someone wants to make an investment plan that lasts for more than ten years or even hundreds of years.

However, the space industry has huge advantages in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and high-precision manufacturing. Although the input cost is far higher than other industries, it can solve the employment problem of a large number of workers well.

It is precisely because of this that Rabbit spares no effort to invest in the space industry. This approach has won the cheers of the industrial party, who believe that this is another victory for the concept of industrial development.

This kind of investment is so huge that the rabbit has affected the development of the space army, and can only maintain a certain deterrent force, but cannot form an absolute crushing advantage.

"But this is something that must be done. How can the development of the space army come about without the space industry?" the experts analyzed.

As long as the foundation of the space industry is laid down, the space army can naturally be formed, instead of trying to maintain the balance of military power like the current bald eagle.

In addition, the impact of the space industry on people's livelihood is not small. Now that mankind is about to enter the era of space colonization, many resources can be obtained from space.

The easiest resources to obtain are the abundant minerals on the moon. In addition, there are platinum asteroids captured a few years ago. However, this asteroid and the surrounding mineral veins have been surrounded by rabbits, so other countries can only look for undiscovered mineral veins .

Even if these countries can find new veins, it will be difficult to mine them. Besides, except for rabbits, other countries have no ability to smelt metals in space, so they can only ask meow star space to help.

Even if the ore is smelted into metal, it will be very troublesome for other countries to transport it to Blue Star. There are only two countries in the world, Eagle and Rabbit, who are capable of transporting resources back from space, but in terms of cost performance, it is still transported by Meow Star Space. Spaceships are more cost-effective.

Now that Blue Star's metal prices have been firmly controlled by the Meow Star Group, anyone who wants to enter this market must first obtain the rabbit's permission, otherwise he will definitely lose all his money, and even the mining cost will not be worth it.

Regarding the development of the space industry, Rabbit put forward a long-term plan, intending to gradually transfer the industrial capabilities on the surface to space within 30 years, especially those industries with high pollution should be transferred as soon as possible.

However, this has very high requirements for the design of the entire industrial process and the recycling of water resources. It is not something that ordinary engineering academicians can handle. The general direction, and then design while shifting, will last for at least several decades.

The relevant departments plan to ask Li Maoye to help, at least let the bald man take the position of chief designer. If other people are allowed to take over this matter, firstly, they will not have enough prestige to shock the big names in all fields, and secondly, the top If you want to try your luck, maybe the boss can solve the design problems of the future space industry alone.

But Li Maoye refused without hesitation. He didn't want to carry so many things on his body. Even if the relevant department promised him a nominal position, he also expressed that he had no interest in it.

But in the end, Li Maoye still gave a lot of suggestions, and at the same time recommended the seven gourd babies brought out by his subordinates first. Qin Hua, Zhao Baibing and others have already developed their abilities, not only being able to stand on their own, but also winning awards in the past few years. National academician status.

From this point of view, Li Maoye can be regarded as the largest student in the country and even in the world. Many people who left the Meow Star Laboratory have entered key positions. Even those who stayed in the laboratory and did not leave, there are many Like Qin Hua and others, he has won various national honorary titles.

"This is basically a new challenge for the design of engineering production lines, and the energy required for space engineering has to be redesigned, so traditional industrial design experience will become an obstacle. What we need are R&D personnel with stronger innovation capabilities!" Li Maoye is rare. He explained a few words, and made it clear that he didn't recommend his own people to go up because of selfishness.

There is no doubt about the innovative ability of Meow Star Laboratory. Every time a new technology is developed, it is basically an innovation from scratch. Not only Li Maoye can do this, but also other laboratory R&D personnel.

In addition to the role of the Tianxin lotus ring, they have to study hard for more than ten years, even though their original qualifications are not very good, but under the encouragement of "permanent people have perseverance", Qin Hua and others His abilities also grew rapidly like a snowball.

Although Li Maoye recommended the seven gourd babies to go out, he did not solicit their opinions in advance. Even if the relevant departments also recognized the bald man's statement and decided to put the seven people in key positions to play a role, they still had to ask in the end their wishes.

Sure enough, only two of the seven people were willing to accept the government work arrangement, and the other five people, including Qin Hua and Zhao Baibing, all refused.

In their view, they still have a lot to learn, and only by staying with the big bosses can they get in touch with the latest black technology. Ordinary people may be excited because they get an important position and power, because this job can determine the flower growers. The trend of major engineering projects over the past few decades is more than ten times larger than the high-speed rail project at the beginning of the century.

But as a pure researcher, only by staying close to Li Maoye all the time, learning and absorbing all kinds of black technology knowledge, can they realize the meaning of their life to the greatest extent.

However, it is quite normal for two of the seven people to leave. After all, everyone has different plans for life. Maybe they are more looking forward to going out and doing something big, so that they can truly reflect their life value .

What's more, Li Maoye also promised them that he can return to the laboratory to continue working at any time, and that he can find the laboratory for support if he encounters difficulties in the work process.

Perhaps the relevant departments took a fancy to this kind of technical support, so they appointed the two to important positions without the slightest hesitation. Anyway, if there is a problem, there is a bald boss sitting behind him!
For the space industry plan proposed by the rabbit, the bald eagle couldn't help but praise and praise, at least on the bright side, it didn't say any weird words like in the past, but secretly hoped to get a share of it.

Of course, I don’t expect the rabbit to lend a helping hand. After all, the space industry plan is related to the national destiny for a century. In any case, it is impossible for the rabbit to cut meat and feed the eagle. Anyway, capitalists are not willing to make long-term investments. They would rather cooperate to make a lot of money in the financial market.

"The space industry is the cornerstone of human beings' colonization of the universe!" Bald Eagle's official media campaigned on various platforms, cheering for Rabbit's grand plan, as if the two are so good that they wear the same pair of pants.

In fact, however, the Wall Street elite hoped that Rabbit would form a new company for this plan, and then they could operate through this company and provide all assistance for it to go public on Wall Street.

The main reason is that the unicorn companies under the Meow Star Group are not enough. We need to find a new batch of companies for this purpose. Anyway, with the backing of Rabbit and Meow Star Black Technology, everyone believes in these unicorn companies Can successfully grow into a giant in the space field.

However, the relevant departments have not yet decided what method to use to raise funds. Of course, the new company can only be a donkey dung egg on the surface. It only needs to be responsible for standing at the front desk to make money. There is basically no need to worry about other things. Anyway, there is still meow Xingkong is personally responsible.

For the huge Concern of the Meow Star Group, it is already unimaginably large, just like an octopus entrenched on the Rabbit Continent, and then extends all its tentacles to the whole world. Every tiny movement can affect hundreds of millions of people. Human beings, if they go crazy one day, can definitely drag most people to hell.

In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, the relevant departments have very high penetration into the Meow Star Group.

Even the president of the Meow Star Group is from a relevant department. This is an open secret that many people know, and Zhou Lin has never really tried to hide his origin.

Under his auspices and cooperation, the key positions in many departments are "insiders". Every move of the Meow Star Group is under the nose of the government. Except for the private area of ​​​​the laboratory that belongs to the bald boss, Meow Star is in the relevant departments. It is more transparent than state-owned enterprises.

But even so, the rabbit still does not want the Meow Star Group to continue to expand, although many people understand that this is an unstoppable trend, because the technology used in the space industry is too dependent on the Meow Star Laboratory.

In the end, Rabbit decided to set up a government department to supervise the implementation of the space industry plan, but this approach has side effects, because a new bureaucratic organization must be created, and this organization will continue to expand with the development of the space industry. It may become a big problem that is difficult for future generations to solve.

The space industry plan first involves the steel industry. After the asteroid incident happened a few years ago, the flower planters’ steel industry has been gradually transferred to the moon base. Even though this asteroid mainly produces platinum metal, it still There are many high-quality iron ore exists.

This process will cause the rabbit's steel production to decrease, but the steel products in the country of the flower growers and even the Blue Star countries are still sufficient, and even affected by the good news of the asteroid, the price of steel has dropped temporarily.

Originally, Rabbit's steel industry capacity had already exploded, and the steel produced was almost unsalable, so it had to find ways to build steel buildings to consume these steel production capacity.

Now the space industry plan needs to gradually stop production and transfer the steel industry on the surface of Blue Star, which eases this development momentum, and because space construction also provides a brand new market.

The super-crusher on the lunar crater just needs these steels. Even though most of the metal materials it uses are platinum, the steel consumed is still an astronomical figure.

After several years of continuous construction, most of the metals produced by the moon base and the asteroid mining area are used in the construction of super crushers, and a small part of precious metals are transported back to Blue Star, but all the steel produced is used on the moon In fact, the rest is also used to build spaceships.

Now the mining and smelting of the moon base is on the right track, and the super crushing machine is also put into use. Even if there are not so many ore veins to be mined on the moon, Meow Star Space can also send mine ships to space to find resources.

There are continental metal asteroids in the universe. You can drag an asteroid back and eat it for a long time. You only need the space mine ship to anchor the asteroid back to the back of the moon and push it into the super crusher for crushing. Next Things just need to be handed over to the remote miners.

Many of these asteroids are rich in rare metals and high-value metals, and many of them are asteroids whose entire stars are almost composed of gold or platinum. As for asteroids rich in rare earths and silver, there are many. Or nickel-iron complex asteroids.

Therefore, after the completion of the construction of Rabbit's space steel industry, it means that the space mining industry has entered into a normal state. Usually, it will not open for three years, but it will last for three years after opening.

The entire iron and steel industry process is to search for ore first. You can explore ore veins on the moon, or you can use mining ships to find valuable asteroids, and then return the asteroids to the back of the moon, and use the super platinum crusher to crush the asteroids for mining. , and then the miners smelt and refine it.

Due to the size of the space industry, the burden on the Meow Star Group is very heavy, but Li Maoye doesn't care at all, anyway, it's not his pressure, Zhou Lin, as the president of Meow Star, should be more concerned.

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!" Li Maoye smiled and comforted Zhou Lin, who was about to be overwhelmed, and said, "I can help you with technical matters, but you have to come to deal with people's entertainment!"

During this period of time, Zhou Lin was not just eating and chatting with people. There were many important meetings that he had to attend in person, because the level of confidentiality was too high, and even the "insiders" in the company could not easily tell them.

There is no technical pressure to oppose the Meow Star Laboratory. What should be provided has already been given. As for how to apply and integrate, this is already a matter for the national department to follow up.
