Three days. For ordinary people living on Blue Star, three days ago seemed like yesterday.
However, for the scientific research team who have been stationed on the surface of Mars for three days and two nights, conducting scientific research, the days seem like years.
The huge temperature difference between day and night brings great trouble to their work.
Most of the time, they can only rely on robots to go out to dig out samples, and the time they can set foot outside the temporary base is very small.
It's all about safety.
Blue Star, Candy Technology Park, Laboratory Building No. 1.
Mo Jingchun leaned on the comfortable boss chair and looked at the exploration data sent back by all the spider robots with some disappointment.
After three days, hundreds of spider robots released have not found metal minerals. Unfortunately, the output and content are not very high. If you have time to dig for such low-yield minerals on Mars, you might as well try your luck with meteorites.
After all, the extracted minerals still need to be transported to space at high cost.
It’s so thankless, I don’t know how much time it takes to build a refinery on Mars.
Countries are arguing endlessly about the ownership of Mars. If a private company like Candy Technology wants to touch this piece of cake, it will definitely cause a backlash from various countries.
But why do you want to mine it yourself?
Technology is the most valuable thing. With technology in hand, as long as a large amount of metal minerals are found on Mars, Mo Jingchun will not worry about running out of metals.
Mo Jingchun believes that no country can refuse to have a spacecraft and a large number of space shuttles belonging to its own country.
If you want these, you can exchange them for metal ores.
Talking about money hurts feelings. Is Mo Jingchun the kind of person who only cares about money?
Unfortunately, after three days, the spider robots released have found nothing. Not to mention open-pit mines, not even large mines have been found under the ground.
"Alas~"
At this moment, Ling Ling shouted in surprise: "Boss, I found something!"
On Mars. Rich rare metal ores are one of the planet's most remarkable resources. On the cold surface of Mars, these metallic minerals sparkle, giving people a sense of mystery and unknown.
In this silent Martian wilderness, you can see cracked rocks with deep lines carved out, which seem to hide infinite secrets.
When you get closer to these rocks, you will see that the metal minerals are hidden in the tiny gaps, emitting dazzling light. Looking at these metal minerals, it seems as if one can see their vitality slowly being consumed, releasing their wealth.
These metal minerals are rich in iron, copper, zinc, aluminum and other elements. These elements are not only necessary materials for the construction of Mars bases, but are also of great significance to the scientific and technological development of Blue Star.
In the silent night, when the sun sets below the horizon, the dark night falls on Mars. At this time, the starry sky was extremely bright, and the stars falling from the sky were like jumping spots of light, galloping and spreading towards the sky.
Metal minerals appear even more mysterious and charming on such nights, as if they are treasures left over from an undiscovered ancient civilization.
Suddenly, a spider robot fell into the huge crater with a flashing blue light.
The next second, a large amount of data scanned by the spider robot was calculated and immediately transmitted back to the Hope spacecraft in space.
The two pairs of eyes that were originally shining with blue light now turned red.
At the same time, a large number of spider robots began to converge here.
Different from the dark night of Mars, it is only 9:30 in the morning in Huo County, Xia Country, Blue Star.
Looking at the data that kept coming back, Mo Jingchun stood up in shock, unable to sit still.
This isn't a crater, it's clearly like a warehouse stocked with various metal minerals. Even rare metals, the spider robot has detected a variety of them.
"Hematite! Hematite is everywhere. It's unimaginable."
Looking back at Zero, Mo Jingchun said in a humorous tone: "If it weren't all minerals, I would suspect that this crater was probably the spacecraft of an alien civilization that crashed here ten thousand years ago."
Hearing this, Zero grinned and said: "Boss, according to your thinking, wouldn't our Blue Star's satellite Moon also be the legacy of an alien civilization's spacecraft? After all, the entire Moon is a treasure house of nuclear fusion raw materials, and only the content in its dust The nuclear fusion material "helium core" is enough for human use for tens of thousands of years!
You know, this is just the content in dust!
Not to mention other minerals, the moon is rich in mineral resources such as titanium, thorium, uranium, and helium, as well as new minerals such as clinopyroxene and zircon that have not been discovered on earth.
It can be said that the moon is a natural large mining factory, just like the resources that parents carefully prepare for their children when they grow up.
And there are artifacts left by alien civilizations on the moon, so it's hard not to make Mo Jingchun think too much.
It was precisely because of the discovery of alien artifacts on the moon that Mo Jingchun advanced many plans.
According to his original plan, he would develop step by step and slowly, and he would not enter the space field before Candy reached adulthood.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
The crisis of an asteroid impacting the Blue Star, the artifacts of an unknown alien civilization discovered by the country on the moon, and the Merck civilization from who knows how many light years away.
Various reasons forced Mo Jingchun to accelerate the pace of civilization evolution.
An hour later, more than a hundred spider robots gathered together to scan and explore the huge crater.
Looking at the mineral data in front of him, Mo Jingchun breathed quickly.
Lithium, beryllium, titanium, vanadium, germanium, niobium, molybdenum, cesium, lanthanum, tungsten, radium...
Hey guys, the periodic table of elements is now complete.
There are even rare precious metals, rare dispersed metals, rare earth metals, refractory rare metals, and radioactive rare metals on Blue Star, and the predicted amounts are not low.
In the quiet private laboratory, Mo Jingchun touched his chin and paced back and forth.
It is no exaggeration to say that without early intervention, once these minerals are mined and flow into the Blue Star market, the global financial system will definitely collapse.
Whoever comes to mine will encounter unanimous resistance from all countries.
Unless it's...the Global Joint Operations Center.
"Zero, connect me to Qin Yuzhu now."
"Okay, boss!"
In less than five seconds, Qin Yuzhu's call was connected.
As Mo Jingchun's communication link with his superiors, it is part of Qin Yuzhu's job to keep in touch with Mo Jingchun at any time.
Seeing Mo Jingchun's call, Qin Yuzhu immediately put down her work and answered the phone.
"Sister Qin, I'm going to give you a huge gift. How much "cake" you can get from it depends on how capable the think tank is." (End of Chapter)
