The Red Alert Begins in the Wasteland

The "Outer Space Treaty" promulgated by the United Nations in 1967 clearly stipulates that no country on Earth has sovereignty over celestial bodies.

Regarding the UN treaty, before the Middle East Federation, the world's understanding of this treaty, in the eyes of those powerful countries, this treaty is only applicable to countries, not suitable for private companies and institutions such as enterprises.

The United States is the biggest supporter of this understanding, because a large number of US space companies are trying to seize resources in space.

In the era when the earth’s mineral resources are becoming increasingly barren, a lot of attention is placed on space. Tens of billions of dollars of investment are very likely to be exchanged for trillions of dollars in benefits. Such a high profit report is enough to make people’s minds and people impulse.

Not only the United States, but many European countries also place their future energy needs in outer space, and Russia is no exception.

Although the United Nations treaties, the treaties only refer to countries and do not mention enterprises outside of the country. Therefore, enterprises in all countries have followed this loophole and put more development direction and funds in the space field.

The Middle East Federation does not have its own national-level space projects. All space development and research projects are the actions of future technology groups. Cai Ruichen naturally follows the same path as the Western world, developing and advancing around the United Nations treaty.

This is naturally a very unfair thing for many countries that desire but do not have much capacity. Naturally, countries have made various protests. However, the world is inherently unfair, and the voice of small countries is reasonable. How can it be possible to change the fundamental interests of major powers?

Mining in space is a profitable business. Consortiums and companies all over the world know this better than anyone else.

If there is a certain amount of volatile matter on an asteroid less than 100 meters in diameter, the resources on the asteroid, the volatile matter with water and oxygen, are enough to allow a spacecraft to travel between the earth and The moon exceeds one hundred and fifty times.

Within the gravity of the earth, within the gravity of the earth farther from the moon, there are tens of thousands of asteroids, and the number of discoveries of these asteroids is increasing by an average of thousands per year.

These asteroids are invisible to the naked eye, and within the distance between the Earth and Mars, it is estimated that there will be more than a million asteroids of various sizes. On these asteroids, there are so many mineral resources that it is impossible to Estimate and calculate.

Cai Ruichen's enthusiasm for minerals on these asteroids is much higher than that of helium III on the moon and also higher than the resources on Mars.

After several years of hard work by the Future Technology Group’s space exploration technology, the exploration of all asteroids around the earth has basically identified more than 50,000 mineral-rich asteroids, all of which are rich in iron and diamonds. , Gold, platinum, silicon, nickel, tungsten, rare earth, isotope and other extremely scarce resources.

And when these things are recycled to the base, the recycling price will be much higher than that of ordinary minerals, and the number of exploitable products will be an astronomical figure.

The resources on these asteroids, calculated with the figures of the Future Technology Group, are enough to meet the needs of the base for at least two decades, and their total value exceeds one hundred billion.

This is one of the reasons why Cai Ruichen is so ambitious about space minerals. In Cai Ruichen's view, it is best not to have too much hope for the resources on the earth.

However, the technology involved in the mining of the universe is very strict. Although there are many companies around the world, all of them have their eyes on space, but it takes a long way to go to really realize the mining.

Compared with the global technology, the Future Technology Group is much faster. The future space shuttle is enough to send a large number of automated mining robots to the asteroid, and the hyperspace mining vehicle can quickly recover the minerals in the asteroid. And those asteroids less than fifty meters in diameter can be directly recovered by the space shuttle.

On asteroids with a diameter of more than one kilometer, it is even possible to directly build a technological expansion station for stationary mineral recovery.

At present, Future Aerospace Corporation has classified all asteroids into multiple levels, and has begun to gradually explore the amount of asteroids' resource reserves.

The construction of the future space station has been half completed, and the construction units inside have begun to continuously produce automated robots and detection robots. Preparations for asteroid mining have also come to an end, and the effect will soon be revealed.

Looking back at the beginning, the development step by step, from the recovery of tens of thousands of funds every day, to the space where I now stretch my fingers into space, looking at all the collections of space development and related materials in his hands, Cai Ruichen suddenly felt a little emotional.

After reading all the plans in his hand, Cai Ruichen made a simple calculation. While shaking his head, he said to Natasha next to him: "The plans are good, but the scale is not enough. I need to mine the minerals on the asteroids more quickly."

Cai Ruichen said this sentence in front of the big boss. He didn't mean to evade at all. He also clearly told the big boss that I have already started mining the minerals in the universe. ,

The big boss didn't expect Cai Ruichen to speak these words in front of him.

Everyone knows the advanced technology of the Future Technology Group in the space field, and can basically guess Cai Ruichen's ambitions for the universe and minerals, but ambition is one thing, and achieving ambition is another.

"You are not planning to develop the minerals of asteroids with me!" the big boss asked jokingly.

The boss himself knows very well that with the so-called cooperative development of the future technology group with the technology in the home, Cai Ruichen is giving a gift and is completely supporting the technology and technology at home.

Cai Ruichen shook his head simply. He will not let anyone participate in the asteroid mining plan, because it directly involves some technological secrets that he will not disclose to any outsiders.

The super-time mining vehicle, this technology is enough to cause the entire world to produce more than ten magnitude earthquakes. When it is not necessary, he will not let the outside world know, even the big boss is the same, the principle problem will not change.

"I want to ask you, is there any interest in my hometown to immigrate to Mars?" Cai Ruichen didn't let the big boss guess, so he put the topic directly.

The plan for the development of Mars and the plan for mining in the universe are almost the same. They are both imperative. The only difference between the two plans is that the plan for the development of Mars is larger, not just a desire. Resources on Mars, but also land on Mars.

The construction of the space shuttle base has come to an end, and the third space shuttle will be built in the future.

Space Shuttle 1 will mainly carry out missions from the earth to the moon and scientific experiments, Space Shuttle 2 will mainly carry out the asteroid mining plan, and the third future space shuttle will carry out the mission of building a Mars base.

At present, the base on the moon has been completed. Cai Ruichen can immigrate to the moon immediately as long as he is willing, but he has not done so, because the base on the moon focuses on the extraction of isotopes to meet energy needs.

As for the construction plan of the Mars base, mineral mining and migration are carried out at the same time. For the minerals on Mars, Cai Ruichen did not even think about sharing it with his hometown. However, he felt that it was necessary to let his hometown participate in the migration to Mars. This would be great. The help to improve my hometown’s technology in the space field.

At the same time, it is also something that makes the people proud, gathers people's hearts, and improves national self-confidence.

In fact, the big boss’s enthusiasm for emigrating to Mars is much higher than that of cosmic mining. If cosmic mining involves the participation of the home government, it is against international law. If it is immigration to Mars, it is definitely a historical event of humanity. Major events, with the participation of their hometown, are the most profound manifestations of national strength.

Depressing his inner excitement, the big boss asked Cai Ruichen: "What do you want from your hometown?"

"You are misunderstood. My hometown does not need to do anything. In the future Space Shuttle 3 is about to set off to Mars. The construction of the Mars base will all be completed by automated robots. My hometown only needs to select the first batch of talents on Mars. Yes," Cai Ruichen said simply.

"Isn't that all the cheap price is occupied by me?" the big boss said with some shame.

"Anything that has a cause and effect, if it weren't for the isotope you gave me, the future technology group would not be able to get out of the earth. As for the benefits and cheapness, I did not consider so much. In short, we have to surpass European countries and officially emigrate to Mars." Cai Ruichen Speaking very seriously.

"Just for you, all of your proposals for this air show, I have agreed to all of them unconditionally. I don’t have a second sentence if I pay people and money." The big boss heard the words and was immediately greatly appreciated, very grateful. Said.

It is the first time that a head of state can say such things like ordinary people chatting on the streets.

The attitude of the big boss also made Cai Ruichen very useful. In this defense exhibition, the reason why he has always pulled the big boss is to improve the military strength of his hometown as much as possible, but he has always worried that the big boss will misunderstand. The contribution of technology also requires the hometown to take out its original high-level military secrets and hand it over to the Middle East Federation, and then the Middle East Federation may help the hometown improve the technological level of domestic equipment.

It is impossible for another country to agree to this kind of thing, especially if there is no full trust between the big powers, and the close cooperation of military alliances is not achieved, it is completely impossible to achieve.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen had some reservations in his previous contacts with the big boss, and tried not to show his attitude as much as possible to avoid the big boss thinking.

Now, all worries can be put aside, and Cai Ruichen didn't expect that, just wanting to take his hometown to Mars, there is actually the effect of unintentionally inserting willows and willows.

"In two months, you will send people to the astronaut training center of the Future Technology Group for professional training. The immigration to Mars will officially begin in four to six months," said Cai Ruichen.

"Going back this time, no, I will let the domestic preparations begin in the evening." The big boss was still a little excited, and said, "Ten, is it enough?"

"Ten?" Cai Ruichen heard this, suddenly a little speechless.

"Is it too much? Then five." The big boss hadn't understood what Cai Ruichen meant, thinking it was too much, and immediately changed his words.

"You are wrong. It's not five or ten. If your hometown wants to participate, how come you have to come one hundred." Cai Ruichen said in a shocking voice.

"One hundred!" This number shocked the big boss, and said, "Brother, you won't let the people from your hometown be the test subject!"

"How is it possible? Space Shuttle 3 is a professional transport spacecraft with room for thousands of people. It can carry thousands of people to Mars at once. The first step of Mars immigration is to allow the first five Hundreds of people will go to the Mars base to establish a basic life center." Cai Ruichen said.

"It is said that you are very ambitious, and I think I know you well, it seems that I am all wrong, you are much bolder than us." The big boss heard this, paused and said: "I will accompany you crazy once. One hundred people is one hundred people, just hope they can reach Mars safely."

In the eyes of the big boss, the first step of Martian immigration should not be too anxious. Once there is any accident, it is not easy to explain to the people.

"I understand your concerns, but please rest assured that you believe in our technological strength. At least so far, the Future Technology Group has not made any mistakes." Cai Ruichen said confidently.

Next, Cai Ruichen also began to talk to the big boss about the requirements for candidates to immigrate to Mars. In fact, it is not a big problem. The first people to immigrate to Mars need engineers and experts in various fields. These people must start to build a foundation on Mars. living environment.

This living environment includes all the life needs of mankind, including the water resources that can be used in the volcano~www.readwn.com~ to grow food and complete the self-supply of food on Mars.

This requires experts and professional engineering personnel to complete. At the same time, these people also need to learn to operate the above equipment, maintain those high-tech products, and maintain the operation of the entire base.

Five hundred people, just enough to meet all the initial personnel needs of the Mars base.

The quota given by Cai Ruichen to his hometown is mainly focused on talents in this aspect of life, while the engineering personnel and maintenance personnel of the base will be in charge of specialized personnel from the Future Technology Group, and the main construction work will also be completed by robots.

As long as the initial construction of the base is completed, humans will be able to officially start the work of Mars immigration, and more humans will be able to live on Mars.

However, in order to achieve this step, it will take some time to prepare. If humans want to migrate to Mars on a large scale, it will take many years to expand their bases on Mars to meet the demand for more people. (To be continued)).
