I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 949: Pick up the treasure (see monthly ticket!)

For a long time, Yang Yuan looked more energetic than before.
On the one hand, it is reflected in his complexion, and on the other hand, it is specifically reflected in his skin color.
Although he is the CEO of a branch company, the nature of his work and the insistence of technicians make it impossible for him to stay in the office as a white-collar worker. Instead, he often has to run to mining areas on Mindanao and Madagascar. It is for this reason that his complexion looks much darker than before.
The ex-girlfriend Sophie hit him hard, but now, he has not been defeated because of this, but instead he has revived and climbed a new career and ability. height.
After meeting with an old friend, Yang Yuan did n’t talk too much, and immediately turned around to take out a stack of reports from the office and chat about work.
"The analysis results of the ore samples have come out."
"The results are quite amazing! In addition to the main iron and silicon components, we also found titanium reserves with amazing reserves in the inner core of the asteroid! And the taste is scary!"
"We have picked up a treasure! This mining and smelting must be handed over to our department. We have the equipment and the technology! The specific data is here, I ca n’t say, you can see for yourself!"
When Yang Yuan was excited when he spoke, he almost threw his fist without excitement. Jiang Chen could clearly feel that his current mood was more exciting than when Jiang Chen handed over the exclusive mining rights of Mindanao minerals to him.
"Relax, the projects related to minerals are yours and can't run."
Jiang Chen took the report in his hand with a smile, flipped it around, and the expression on his face was slightly moving.
First, an overview of the Benu asteroid, this part of the data is the data measured by the Space Launch Center. With a diameter of about 500 meters and a volume of about 36.8 million cubic meters, the average density was measured according to spectroscopy. The density of the asteroid is about 4.5 times that of water, that is, 4.5 tons per cubic meter, and the mass is 165 million tons.
Turn to the most critical part of the reserves.
According to the identification of the ore samples and various backhauled data by Future Mining, the asteroid iron ore reserves are more than 40 million tons, and the taste has reached an astonishing 80!
This is an impossible number on earth, because it means that some iron will exist in the form of iron! The oxidizing environment on earth is impossible to breed this kind of mineral deposit. Almost all the iron in the earth's crust exists in the form of oxides in nature.
But space can.
The 40 million tons of iron ore will be able to smelt more than 30 million tons of steel at ultra-low smelting costs. Not only is it enough to sustain the consumption of industrial parks in Angka Island and Singapore-Malaysia for several years, but it can also be exported to the international market on a large scale to earn foreign exchange!
Although the value of iron ore is high, it can only be considered a drizzle compared to the core titanium ore.
High-performance titanium alloys and titanium-based composite materials have the characteristics of high specific strength, high corrosion resistance, high durability, and low weight that are unmatched by other metals. However, there are not many titanium mines held by Xinghuan Trading. Except for the wreckage recovered from the end of the world, most of the external structures of Xinghuan City use aluminum alloy with higher strength.
As we all know, titanium ore reserves are abundant on the surface, and can only be regarded as rare metals rather than precious metals, but titanium alloys are quite rare. There are two main difficulties that hinder the development of titanium alloy technology, one is the smelting of titanium alloy, and the other is the processing of titanium alloy.
First of all, smelting, not to mention the dozens of complicated processing procedures, because titanium is quite active at high temperatures, and after the titanium ore is processed into sponge titanium, it has to be smelted in a vacuum arc furnace for one or two In order to produce high-purity titanium ingots!
Because the production conditions are complex, the cost naturally goes up.
It is for this reason that the price of titanium ore varies according to taste. Less impurities means less difficulty in smelting, while too many impurities have no value for processing. But in general, the price of titanium ore is still around 1,000 yuan. As for the processing of titanium ingots, the price will skyrocket.
Another is processing. It is useless to make titanium ingots. It is more difficult to process titanium ingots into tubes, plates, screws, bearings, and even aero engines.
So far, Maozi and the US titanium alloy welding technology have passed. Because Maozi ’s titanium alloy welding technology is good, the reserves of titanium ore in Siberia are also very high, and the wealthy old Maozi even built several nuclear submarines from titanium alloy, which is legendary from the construction to the final service has been full of controversy Alpha-class attack nuclear submarines ! Not afraid of magnetic torpedoes, MK-48 torpedoes with full horsepower can even throw off the rear-end.
Because the cost of titanium alloy production and processing is extremely high, some people jokingly call it "goldfish".
It is only in the wonderful era of the Cold War that such absurd and powerful weapons can be born.
But now, close to 30 million tons of high-grade titanium ore, Jiang Chen also has the opportunity to completely "local tyrants." Not to mention the submarine made of titanium alloy shell, even if the entire aluminum alloy material of the space elevator is replaced by the standard titanium alloy, it is more than enough!
The titanium ore found on the Benu asteroid is not only rich in reserves, but the key is the extremely high taste. Even the naturally occurring titanium element is even found in the ore samples! The smelting cost is also much cheaper than the titanium ore produced by any titanium ore on the earth, even the rich ore in the Siberian cold region is not comparable to this!
Just at the 30 million tons of high-grade titanium ore, Jiang Chen had to hold the asteroid firmly in his hand.
"The smelting of the ore will be handed over to you. The second electric rays P-1 futuristic personnel will complete the production as soon as possible, and will be delivered to the futuristic mining port in the Star City next month. To train qualified pilots, the production of Benu asteroid must be stepped up, especially the above titanium mine, which is very important for our space colonization plan! "The report was returned to Yang Yuan's hands, and Jiang Chen immediately dispatched the mission Commanded to continue.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Yang Yuan grinned and patted his chest to pack the ticket.
"You can rest assured that space mining is the strategic development direction of our future mining industry! Several mining experts in our company have been training at the Astronaut Training Base on Anga Island for almost half a year. How long will it take to pass the evaluation of the electric rays P-1 driving license. "
Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.
Although the electric rays P-1, which is currently being constructed on the Benu asteroid, is a future mining industry, the pilot is a pilot who rents the Star Ring Trade. The main training is the A-1 attack type and C-1 transport type. This is the reason why people who drive tanks are allowed to drive mining vehicles. The mining efficiency must not be high.
Today he came to the Future Mining Headquarters for a total of two things. Now one of them has been completed and there is one last thing left.
"I have something to ask you."
"A while ago, how about the external ore processing unit that has been designed, how are you preparing now?"

(Note: Regarding the Benu asteroid, NSAS has just launched a probe to sample, and it is expected to return to Earth in 2023. No one knows the exact composition above, just like the water on the moon has been proven since the 20th century There is no evidence. Science fiction is not a popular science book. I will try my best to be rigorous, but I ca n’t guarantee it.) (To be continued.)
