Not a single gram of helium 3
Musk was also relieved that his urgent need was finally solved.
“Thank you, Mr. Su, for being willing to help regardless of competition.” ”
We will send a special plane to the Gobi Desert as soon as possible and take an elevator to rescue the disabled members.” ”
All activities will strictly abide by the conditions you mentioned, and mining will not cross the border.”
Su Chen smiled slightly: “I wish us a happy cooperation!”
He would not help his opponent for free. This move could achieve three goals.
First, let Meiliguo settle in gold, breaking the tradition of paying with U.S. knives.
This symbolic meaning can be said to be far-reaching.
Even the strong ones have to compromise, and the monetary order will soon be broken.
Next, use energy to attack the United States, and the status of “Long Yuan” will rise sharply.
The second step is to transport back the reserve gold to increase support for the Dragon Kingdom’s currency.
This also solves a big problem that has plagued the country for many years.
Minister Yang had mentioned in a private conversation with him before that he wanted to transport back the gold reserves in the beautiful country, but was rejected many times.
In fact, it was not only the Dragon Kingdom, but other countries also mentioned it, but they were all rejected for various reasons.
Now this problem is solved perfectly.
Su Chen can definitely do it if others don’t want the gold back.
He never likes to leave his own things with others, nor does he take the country’s assets with him.
There is a sense of security wherever you look.
The third line of development is a pure pitfall.
Artificial intelligence Luban has analyzed the returned geographical images and soil data.
Helium-3 is so scarce on the far side of the moon that it can be ignored.
Musk doesn’t know this information yet.
Because his dispatched team members did not have the equipment and conditions to do exploration work.
But Su Chen would never share such news.
The moon is a very strange celestial body.
Its orbit is circular, while currently known satellites all have elliptical orbits.
There is no magnetic field on the moon.
Lava contains ultra-hard, high temperature resistant, corrosion resistant pure titanium, pure iron and other metals that Blue Star does not have.
As for the distribution of these metals, it is even more outrageous, as if someone has demarcated the area.
“Chang’e”‘s lunar base was chosen in an area rich in helium-3.
Now that the interstellar mining truck has arrived, mining and extraction work has begun.
It will be transported back to the ground via a space elevator in 72 hours at the earliest.
Su Chen will be busy with new projects by then.
********
After Musk hung up the phone, he immediately contacted tens of thousands of factories and quickly organized another batch of supplies.
However, it is not easy for the lunar base personnel to train intensively, so they can only temporarily mix and match a group of astronauts and SEALs.
And the fact that they rented a space elevator was soon known to the media.
[A major accident occurred during the moon landing, and Musk could only ask for help from the Longguo space elevator]
[Paying gold by the ton, Meiguo agreed to Su Chen’s elevator rental conditions for the first time]
[Huazhi Company: Not only is it technologically advanced, it is also safe and reliable]
[Underlined Construction Base, lunar mining competition, see who can be one step ahead]
[Controllable nuclear fusion, can dreams really come true?]
These news have aroused widespread discussion.
Among them, the most happy and active ones are naturally the Dragon Kingdom netizens.
“I, Su Shen, am so awesome that I actually made the beautiful country give up paying with U.S. dollars.”
“Gold is good. It is currently the most valuable metal in Blue Star.”
“The more gold we reserve, the more supportive the currency will be.”
” I heard from the gossip that Mr. Su also wants our 600 tons of gold reserves back.”
“Really? Great! It should be stored in our country.”
“If you ask me, Musk should not be allowed to use the elevator, go up Are you going to fight for helium-3 with us?”
“It’s unfounded to worry. Mr. Su can’t know about this situation.” ”
Yes, that’s right, I guess you’ve already figured out a way.”
“I trust Mr. Su, he’s always strategizing and has a high vision!”
…
No matter what everyone thinks.
The team members at Chang’e Lunar Base are racing against time to complete their work.
Because Su Chen said that helium 3 on the moon is a strategic resource that humans compete for.
If we lag behind Musk, the future power issues will be controlled by others.
The moon is the common property of mankind, and helium-3 resources are on a first-come, first-served basis.
So captain Wang Yang has not slept a wink for a day and a night.
He was standing next to the interstellar mining truck, staring at the excavation.
The lunar soil is as hard as cement, and the temperature in some areas can be as low as -248°, making it very difficult to mine.
But this does not affect the motivation of Huazhi employees at all.
Under the guidance of Mr. Lu, they worked as a team and quickly overcame difficulties to dig out the first truck of helium-containing 3-lunar soil, and used a transport vehicle to pull it back to the extraction room at the base.
Now, after field exploration, the total amount of helium 3 on the moon is 1.2 million tons, which is more than the original estimate of 710,000 tons.
100 tons of helium 3 can supply Blue Star’s energy for one year, which means that helium 3 on the moon can prevent humans from worrying about energy problems for 10,000 years.
And that’s not all the treasure on the moon. It also contains rare earth elements from the electronics industry and 600 million metric tons of water ice.
These are the key points of lunar resource mining, and now Huazhi is taking a three-pronged approach.
“Report! Helium 3 has been successfully extracted, with a production of 20 tons on the first day.”
“Report! Complete the mining and conversion of water ice, ensure water resources at the base, and start cultivating plants.” ”
Report! Electrolyze hydrogen and oxygen, and the lunar rover The latest power propellant will be used soon, the speed will be increased by 10 times, and the radius of activity will be expanded by 6 times.”
I heard good news from the lunar laboratory.
Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.
His positioning of the moon is a starting point for mankind to conquer the universe, and this treasure house of resources must be fully utilized.
But just as Huazhi Group was reporting good news frequently, Musk was in dire straits.
First of all, the improvised team members are not used to Yue Huaning. They move slowly and can only jump. Huazhi’s employees can walk normally, so their work efficiency is naturally high.
Secondly, the base’s materials and equipment performed poorly. It was very difficult to drill into the lunar soil. After a busy day, only 200 kilograms were mined, which was pitiful.
What is even more tragic in the end is that after the experimenter’s efforts to extract it, there was not even a gram of helium 3.
This means that everyone’s work on the first day was in vain! ! !
Although Su Chen has not announced the mining results, you can see the space elevator going up and down frequently and the happy expressions of the employees in the camera.
It is not difficult for Musk to guess that the other party must have gained a lot.
This made him even more depressed and angry.
If this continues, Su Chen will definitely take the lead in energy development.
Did they successfully extract helium 3?
How much was extracted? ?
Not only Musk takes this issue seriously, but Kawaura is also concerned about it. Others at Blue Star are even more nervous.
Everyone feels like grass is growing in their hearts, and they are checking the official website of Huazhi every day to wait for news.
5 days later.
The announcement finally came out after long calls.
The moment you see the data.
Everyone’s eyes widened: “How is this possible?”
