Chapter 993 Ambitious Cosmic Mining Plan

PS: Today is still eighth. Thank you for your monthly pass. I hope to keep this pace. There are less than 27 hours left before the end of this month. Can you give me some rewards?

—————

Hawking's final decision made this matter final, and the four of them continued to discuss many details again.

Two hours later, Cai Ruichen left Hawking's villa and returned to New York City.

On the way back, Cai Ruichen had been thinking about these two things.

In fact, the two plans he participated in were just Cai Ruichen's preparations for a rainy day.

For the exploration of the universe, Cai Ruichen has always had extremely huge ambitions, and many departments of the future aerospace company he established have been working hard for this.

And his ambition, in fact, can also be seen from the future space launch center, the eight satellite launch points are connected, in fact, it is actually the launch site of a super spacecraft.

Moreover, Cai Ruichen's ambition is not simply to immigrate to Mars or the moon, but to actually expand his strength and influence.

And this plan is quite urgent. The source of the base's strength does not lie in him, but in funds.

Cai Ruichen sees this very clearly, the only thing the Red Police Corps needs to become stronger is more funds.

The source of funds can only rely on the recycling of minerals. The minerals on the earth are all limited, and it is impossible for Cai Ruichen to wait until he occupies the whole world before mining all the minerals on the earth.

Therefore, he needs to find more and stable sources of funds in places that have not yet been involved by big countries.

On the earth, all the funds have already been divided up by the big countries, and he can only get a little corner. If he wants to get those really big benefits, he must also touch the interests of the big countries.

But outside the earth, there is a new point of competition, not military power, but who can take the lead. own these benefits.

So Cai Ruichen was always in a hurry. He has many goals. Helium-3 on the moon is one of the most important minerals.

This point has even been raised by the base, because in the future the base will even have nuclear fusion technology. But if there is no helium III as a raw material, it is all nonsense.

There are only 500 tons of helium-3 reserves in the world.

It can't meet the needs of the base at all, not to mention more technical equipment and technological equipment in the future. All require the use of nuclear fusion technology.

If there is no helium-3 as support, the future development of the base will be impossible. It is impossible to reach the level that the base itself has.

In order to bring out all the strengths of the base, Cai Ruichen must find a way to mine helium-3, and helium-3 can only satisfy him outside the earth.

In fact, in the entire solar system. There are many planets that all have a large amount of helium-3, and Titan also has a lot of helium-3 reserves. Among the various meteorites that exist in the solar system, there are also many helium-3.

But comparing the distance between the moon and the earth, it is still easier to mine the helium three on the moon.

And this is Cai Ruichen's ambitious space mining plan.

In fact. Long before Cai Ruichen, the United States had such a plan several years ago. There are two companies in the United States that specialize in the research of space mining technology, and they can receive a large amount of financial assistance from the US government every year.

In Europe, Luxembourg, a small country, was the first country to start space mining ore, and Luxembourg is also beginning to legislate on various rules for space mining ore, which will eventually be submitted to the United Nations for consideration.

At that time, as long as the United Nations approves it, there will be laws to follow in the mining of space minerals. At least after each country officially extends its tentacles to the earth, there will be a rule to constrain it.

Luxembourg is the country with the most advanced space exploration technology among the entire European countries. Although the size of this country does not even need to go to the third ring area of ​​the capital, it is indeed the leader in Europe in this field. Otherwise, where would Luxembourg come from? so ambitious.

However, compared to the United States and Europe, Cai Ruichen seldom speaks, but sits a lot.

His construction of the future science and technology space station is the first step to realize this ambition. The future future science and technology space station will be the first step to colonize the moon.

Moreover, the future science and technology space station will also have the ability to carry an ore refinery, that is to say, Cai Ruichen will build an ore refinery in the space station.

This is not a delusion. In fact, once the future science and technology space station is completed, it will be a super huge space base, which can simulate the earth's gravity field environment, just like the gravity room of the training center.

It can perfectly simulate the gravity environment of the earth, and the space will also expand, and it will gradually become a space city.

Such a grand plan is actually unimaginable for human beings in various countries at present. At most, it is just to find out in the world of science fiction imagination.

Of course, one of the greatest wealth of human beings is imagination, and the ambitious Cai Ruichen is about to turn such imagination into reality.

When the whole world discovers this, I am afraid that existence is reasonable.

Moreover, the ambition of Cai Ruichen's space mining plan is not only on the moon, but will spread throughout the entire solar system in the future. In his words: plant my national flag, it is my land, I have come, I have seen, and I have conquered.

Of course, don't think that just the planets in the solar system can satisfy Cai Ruichen, because once his ambitions are inflated, he will definitely be the kind that goes too far.

Although there are no geese in the universe, all kinds of meteorites are indispensable. On these meteorites, there are many minerals.

Regarding the minerals on these meteorites, Cai Ruichen never thought of giving up. Many satellites have even confirmed that there are many minerals that are very scarce on the earth in a large number of meteorites.

In fact, Cai Ruichen's idea is very simple, that is to use all possible technologies to obtain as much base development funds as possible.

Because with the escalation of authority, the cost of those high-level arms and weapon units has also risen in a straight line.

The daily income of 20 million is not enough for those advanced equipment.

Even if all the weapons and equipment of the mid-level units are produced at the same time, even the daily capital income of 50 million is far from enough.

Moreover, the focus of future development will be the most expensive naval and air force equipment. The cost of an aircraft carrier battle group is completely accumulated with funds, which is not cheap.

For a long time, Cai Ruichen's vision has always been far-sighted, and the problems he thinks about are all years later. After all, if he takes one step at a time and sees one step at a time, it will be a disaster for the Red Police Corps.

Solemnly declare: All the real technologies involved in this book are real, not fancy nonsense. (to be continued.):
