Chapter 1770: Initiate the Mars Immigration Plan

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 United Nations 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 space companies in the United States are trying to seize resources in space.

In an era when the earth's mineral resources are becoming increasingly poor, a lot of attention is focused on space. Tens of billions of dollars in investment are very likely to be exchanged for trillions of dollars in benefits. Such a high profit report is enough to make people feel nervous. 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 treaty, the treaty only specifically refers to the country, and does not mention companies outside the country. Therefore, companies from all countries follow this loophole and put more development direction and funds in the space field.

The Middle East Federation does not have its own national space program, and all space development and research projects are the actions of future technology group companies. Cai Ruichen naturally learns from it, and develops and advances around the United Nations treaty just like the Western world.

This is naturally a very unfair thing for many countries that are eager but have little ability. Naturally, some countries have made various protests. However, the world is inherently unfair. No matter how reasonable the voice of a small country is, How can it be possible to change the fundamental interest decisions of major countries.

Space mining is a lucrative business, and consortiums and companies all over the world know this better than anyone else.

If there is a certain amount of volatile substances on an asteroid with a diameter of less than 100 meters, then the resources on this asteroid, the volatile substances containing water and oxygen, are enough for a spacecraft to travel between the earth and Moon more than a hundred and fifty times.

Within the gravitational range of the earth, within the gravitational force of the earth, where the earth is farther from the moon, there are tens of thousands of asteroids, and the number of these asteroids discovered 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. These asteroids are rich in mineral resources, which cannot be seen at all Estimates and calculations.

Cai Ruichen's enthusiasm for the minerals on these asteroids is much higher than the helium-3 on the moon, and higher than the resources on Mars.

Under the years of hard work of Future Technology Group's space exploration technology,

In the exploration of all asteroids around the earth, and basically identified more than 50,000 mineral-rich asteroids, all of which are rich in iron, diamonds, gold, platinum, silicon, nickel, tungsten, and rare earths , isotopes and other extremely scarce resources.

And when these things are recycled to the base, their recycling price will be much higher than those of ordinary minerals, and the amount that can be developed will be an astronomical figure.

The resources on these asteroids, calculated by the figures of the Future Technology Group, are enough to meet the needs of the base for at least 20 years, and their total value exceeds one billion yuan.

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

However, the science and technology involved in the mining of the universe requires very strict requirements. Although many companies around the world have all set their sights on space, there is still a long way to go before real mining can be realized.

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 also quickly recover the minerals in the asteroid. And those asteroids with a diameter of less than 50 meters can be recovered directly by the space shuttle.

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

At present, the future space company has classified all asteroids into multiple levels, and has begun to gradually explore the amount of resources stored in asteroids.

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

Looking back at the beginning, it has developed step by step, from the recovery of tens of thousands of funds every day, to the space that now stretches its fingers, looking at all the space development collections and related materials in his hands, Cai Ruichen suddenly felt a little bit emotional.

After reading all the plans in his hand, Cai Ruichen made a simple calculation, shook his head, and said to Natasha beside him: "The plans are all good, but the scale is not enough. I need to mine the minerals on the asteroid faster."

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

And the big boss didn't expect Cai Ruichen to say these words in front of him.

Everyone knows that Future Technology Group is advanced in space technology, and can basically guess Cai Ruichen's ambitions for space minerals, but ambition is one thing, and realizing it is another.

"You don't intend to develop the asteroid's minerals with me, do you!" the big boss asked jokingly.

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

Cai Ruichen simply shook his head. 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.

Hyperspace mining vehicles, this kind of technology is enough to cause earthquakes of more than ten magnitudes in the whole world. Unless it is necessary, he will not let the outside world know, even the big boss is the same, the principle will not change.

"I want to ask you, is my hometown interested in emigrating to Mars?" Cai Ruichen didn't let the big boss guess, and directly got to the point.

The plan to develop Mars and the plan to mine in the universe can be said to be almost the same plan. They are both imperative. The only difference between the two plans is that the content of the Mars development plan is more extensive. The resources on Mars also need the 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 built. As long as Cai Ruichen is willing, he can immigrate to the moon immediately, but he did not do so, because the base on the moon focuses on mining isotopes to meet energy needs.

As for the construction plan of the Mars base, the mining of minerals on Mars and the immigration will be carried out at the same time. Cai Ruichen has never thought about sharing the minerals on Mars with his hometown, but he feels that it is necessary for his hometown to participate in emigrating to Mars, which will be huge. Help improve the technology of my hometown in the field of space.

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

In fact, the big boss’s enthusiasm for emigrating to Mars is much higher than that of space mining. If the home government participates in space mining, it will violate international law. If it is immigration to Mars, it will definitely be a historical event for mankind. If the hometown participates in major events, it will be the most profound display of national strength.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the big boss asked Cai Ruichen: "What do you want your hometown to do?"

"You misunderstood, my hometown doesn't need to do anything. In the future, Space Shuttle 3 will set off for Mars. The construction of the Mars base will be completed by automatic robots. My hometown only needs to select the first batch of talents to go to Mars. Yes." Cai Ruichen said very simply.

"Isn't that all the cheap stuff taken up by me?" The big boss said a little ashamedly.

"Everything has a cause and effect. If you didn't give me those isotopes, the Future Technology Group would not be able to leave the earth. As for the benefits and cheapness, I didn't think so much. In short, we will surpass European countries and formally immigrate to Mars." Cai Ruichen Said very seriously.

"I just want to say this to you. I have unconditionally agreed to all your proposals at this air show. I have absolutely no second words." Hearing the words, the big boss was immediately very helpful and extremely grateful Said.

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

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

This kind of thing, if it is another country, it is simply impossible to agree, especially among major countries, it is completely impossible to achieve without complete and sufficient trust and without such close cooperation of military alliances.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen also had certain reservations in the previous contact with the big boss, trying not to show his attitude as much as possible, so as to avoid the big boss's wild thoughts.

Now, all worries can be put aside, and Cai Ruichen didn't expect that just wanting to take his hometown to Mars together would have the effect of unintentionally inserting willows and willows into shades.

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

"Going back this time, no, I will let the country start preparations at night." The big boss was still a little excited, and said, "Ten, is it enough?"

"Ten?" Cai Ruichen was speechless when he heard that.

"Is it too much? Then five." The big boss didn't understand Cai Ruichen's meaning, thought it was too much, and immediately changed his words.

"You're thinking wrong. It's not five or ten. If my hometown wants to participate, there should be a hundred." Cai Ruichen said surprisingly.

"One hundred!" The big boss was taken aback by this number, and said, "Brother, you don't want people from your hometown to be the test subjects!"

"How is it possible? The No. 3 space shuttle is a professional transport spacecraft, which has space for thousands of people and can carry thousands of people to Mars at one time. The first step of the Mars immigration plan is to let the first batch of five Hundreds of people will go to the Mars base to build a basic living center," Cai Ruichen said.

"It is said that you are very ambitious, and I think I know you very well. It seems that I am still wrong. You are much bolder than us." The boss paused and said: "I will accompany you crazy once, A hundred is a hundred, just hope they all make it to Mars safely."

In the eyes of the big boss, the first step of emigrating to Mars should not be too anxious. If something happens, it is not easy to explain to the people.

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

Next, Cai Ruichen also began to tell the big boss about the requirements for candidates to immigrate to Mars. In fact, it is not a big problem. The first batch of people who 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 living needs of human beings, including obtaining water resources that can be quoted on the volcano, growing food, and completing 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 can just meet all the initial personnel needs of the Mars base.

The places that Cai Ruichen gave to his hometown are mainly talents in this aspect of life, while the engineering personnel and base maintenance personnel 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 preliminary construction of the base is completed, humans will also be able to officially start the Mars immigration work, and more humans will be able to live on Mars.

However, to achieve this step, it will take some time to prepare. If humans want to immigrate to Mars on a large scale, it will take many years to expand the base on Mars to meet the needs of accommodating more people. (to be continued)).
