Chapter 506 A Space Power? The Crew Also Had to Undergo Training!

Is a titanium ore worth the other party being so anxious?

Is that thing worth anything?

Jiang Chen was confused.

Titanium ore sounds very high-end, as if it has something to do with titanium metal, but Jiang Chen knows that titanium ore is mainly used to produce titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide is cheap, and the other party wants a small ship body. The cost of transportation is simply not worth it.

So Jiang Chen felt that the other party was hiding something from him.

It turned out that Jiang Chen's intuition was correct, and Peterson became hesitant.

"If I don't ask clearly, the cooperation that Mr. Peterson wants may not be negotiated."

Hearing what Jiang Chen said, Peterson seemed to be embarrassed. He hesitated again and again, and then said under Jiang Chen's gaze: "What was discovered this time is actually a rare earth mine."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, becoming interested.

Rare earth ore is an ore containing 17 rare earth elements. Many of these elements can be used in cutting-edge technological fields such as national defense, military industry, aerospace, nuclear energy and superconductors.

Dragon Kingdom's rare earth mineral resources are still sufficient, but now that Dragon Kingdom has become a major aerospace country, the places where rare earth minerals were used are many times more than before.

In this case, if more rare earth mines can be used as support, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless to Longguo.

"You want to mine and transfer quickly, are you worried about being looked down upon?" There are only a few big aerospace countries, and Jiang Chen almost doesn't need to think about who the Ten Thousand Islands Country is afraid of.

When Peterson saw that Jiang Chen had already guessed the answer, he said directly: "Academician Jiang is right. The rare earth mine this time is estimated to be about 400 million tons. If you are willing to help, we can provide 30% of it." Come out of the rare earth mines and give them to the Dragon Kingdom."

Isn't it a joke that you want to use their small ship body after only three years?

Of course, Jiang Chen would not give up such a good opportunity. With the help of Team Leader Fang, he and Peterson discussed it again and again, and Peterson finally agreed to give out 40%.

The transaction with Peterson was an unexpected gain. Jiang Chen left all the follow-up matters to Team Leader Fang to arrange. He returned to the base, summoned colleagues from the urban small ship hull research and development project team, and began to develop small Hull.

After everything was arranged, it was already a week later.

During this period of time, the first batch of official scientific expedition personnel from the Dragon Kingdom had already taken the Zhurong to conduct investigations on Mars.

After the first batch of scientific expedition personnel return, Guo Fan's crew will go to Mars with the second batch of scientific expedition personnel.

On this day, Jin Xing sent a message asking Jiang Chen when the aerospace training would end. He had lost a lot of weight. If it didn't end, he would probably become a skinny man.

After Jiang Chen received the news, he thought that he would also stop by the Jiutian Space Center, so he replied that Jin Xing would bring him something to replenish his health.

Jiang Chen's fans previously sent Jiang Chen a lot of supplements. After inspection, Team Leader Fang sent these supplements to the base. Jiang Chen went to the warehouse, selected a few for MOSS to take, and then drove the Baidi , came to Jiutian.

As soon as Jiutian arrived, Jin Xing, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Baidi's plane landing and immediately went to greet it.

"Boss, you finally came to save us. You don't know that in order to go to Mars, I have to run five kilometers every day. Look at my body, I'm almost gone!"

Jiang Chen looked at him amusedly: "I have indeed lost weight, but not much. There is something wrong with the ratio of your input and output energy!"

"Boss, if I don't eat more, I might faint during training." Jin Xing muttered.

"Okay, here are the supplements I brought for you. I guarantee that after you take them, your head will not feel dizzy and your legs will not feel weak, and you can run ten kilometers in one breath."

Jin Xing's eyes shone when he saw the two big bags of things in MOSS's hands.

"My boss still loves me the most! He is simply better than my father!"

"I don't mind if you call me dad." Jiang Chen joked, and Jin Xing was stunned for a moment before laughing.

He originally thought that with Jiang Chen's current status, he would be like an old expert, with a straight face and no joke, but it turned out that Jiang Chen was still the person he was familiar with.

After Jiang Chen and Jin Xing joked about it, they met Wang Zexiong, the director of Jiutian Space Center. After Wang Zexiong heard that Jiang Chen was coming, he personally came out to pick him up.

Hearing that Jiang Chen was going to see the crew, Wang Zexiong led them to the place where the crew was training.

"This building looks like it's newly built?" Jiang Chen went in and out of Jiutian Space Center many times, and suddenly found that Jiutian seemed to have been expanded.

Wang Zexiong said with pride on his face: "Now the demand for going to space has increased. In order to meet the training needs of more people, a new building was built in the center."

"In addition to Jiutian here, the higher authorities have decided to establish a new Astronaut Development Bureau, set up branches across the country, and build astronaut training centers."

Jiang Chen's face showed surprise.

At present, people in the Dragon Kingdom have only two ways to go into space. One is to go through layers of selection and become official astronauts, and the other is to go through the International Space Academy.

But for ordinary people, neither path is easy.

Now we need to establish an Astronaut Development Bureau and set up branches in various places. This seems to open up the way of selecting astronauts and absorb private forces.

"Can ordinary people also participate?"

"Yes, as long as all aspects meet the requirements, ordinary people can also participate."

Jiang Chen nodded, thinking that this was to prepare for later immigration.

Once the policy is implemented, ordinary people will definitely follow the policy, and a large number of people who can satisfy the need to travel to outer space will emerge.

People who can go to outer space will most likely become the generation of space immigrants.

According to the celestial body, it can also be divided into the Mars generation and the Moon generation.

Jiang Chen suddenly thought of something and asked: "So, in terms of school education, have aerospace-related courses also been added now?"

"Well, the leaders are discussing whether to offer space-related courses starting from primary school. After all, some children are gifted. Our idea is to start as early as possible."

"Then shouldn't a special school be built for these gifted children?"

Wang Zexiong said with a smile: "Academician Jiang's International Aerospace Academy will do the trick. Then we will open a primary school directly! We will realize integrated learning and training in junior high schools and universities!"

Jiang Chen suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

The three of them walked and talked together and arrived at the place where the crew was training. When the crew saw Jiang Chen, they all exclaimed.

"Academician Jiang is here!" Guo Fan, who was originally resting, saw Jiang Chen and dragged his weak legs to move to Jiang Chen's side.
