Super Island Tycoon Chapter 693: Imagination

The location where the astronauts are now is very flat, and there are not many undulations around, so they will not encounter any obstacles if they want to develop around.

The geological structure here is also very good, able to withstand the construction of various buildings.

The most important thing is that there is a high-quality shallow iron ore vein not far from here.

This iron ore is basically located on the surface. Mining is very simple and you don’t need to dig too deep to see the veins.

Moreover, the iron content of iron ore is also very high, even exceeding the highest quality iron ore on earth.

Smelting and processing of this super high-quality iron ore is very simple and easy to obtain finished steel.

Be aware that steel is the most basic industrial raw material. As long as you have steel, many things can be processed on-site on Mars without being transported from the distant earth.

In the end, Jiang Cheng chose this place as the address of the Mars base because of this high-quality shallow iron ore vein.

This iron ore vein is simply too rare, mining and smelting are so easy.

If this reservoir vein is on the earth, I don't know how many companies will be looting it.

Unfortunately, there are no such good iron ore veins on the earth, and those companies can only look at it with jealousy.

This is the benefit of developing outer space. This is only Mars, the nearest to the earth, and there are already mineral resources that will be good.

Moreover, there is more than this vein on Mars, and there are many outstanding minerals waiting to be developed there.

Iron ore is just a big demand for the construction of a base, and it is actually valuable. Not too high.

At the very least, the iron ore mined by Mars cannot be transported back to the earth to sell for money. Transporting such worthless things as iron ore back so far is simply a brain-dead behavior.

The price of transporting love alone is countless times higher than that of iron ore, and it is not worth transporting back to the earth.

But this is not to say that there is no point in developing Mars. Iron ore is not valuable but there are valuable things on Mars.

During the last detailed survey of Mars, Jiang Cheng found several platinum veins on Mars.

The gold reserves of these platinum veins on Mars far exceed the largest platinum mines on earth, and the mining difficulty is lower than that of the veins on earth.

If Yi Jiang Cheng establishes a base on Mars, he can start mining platinum on Mars.

Platinum is a very precious metal. The reserves on the earth are very low, so the price has always been high.

Platinum reserves on Mars have been detected dozens of times that of the earth, so platinum mining on Mars is still very promising.

Although considering the cost of transportation from Mars to Earth, shipping platinum back is still a bit of a loss.

However, technology is constantly improving, and the cost of space transportation in the future will definitely continue to drop.

Jiang Cheng’s new rockets have been under development all the time. After this rocket is developed, the cost of space transportation will drop again.

It is estimated that by the time platinum can be mined on Mars, transportation costs will be reduced to a profitable level.

At that time, Jiang Cheng will be able to make money from this, and a steady stream of platinum will flood the market on the earth.

Maybe the price of platinum will drop due to Mars mining, but the significance of shipping platinum back from Mars is still great.

Platinum has very high stability and is very suitable for use as an industrial raw material

So platinum, a precious metal, can not only be used as jewelry, it also has a lot of practical use value.

Jiang Cheng knows that many space vehicles in the future will require a large amount of platinum.

If you only rely on the earth to buy, even if Jiang Cheng's wealth is not enough to make up the platinum demand.

The platinum on Mars also solved this problem. This is also one of Jiang Cheng's purposes for developing Mars.

From here, you can see how barren the earth is. Compared to the universe of Liao, the resources on the earth are not worth mentioning.

So going to space is the only way for mankind, there are countless resources waiting for mankind in the solar system alone.

Astronauts are busy doing preparatory work on Mars, and the technicians on this side of the earth are not idle.

The entire aerospace technology team is now in a nervous and busy state, except for the space mission center where someone needs to monitor the situation on Mars.

The R&D team is also busy with their own work here, and they are doing the final technical research and development.

The establishment of a Mars base requires a lot of new technologies, and these technicians are now making preparations.

While the astronauts are working **** Mars, the Umbrella Aerospace Technology Corporation is also busy with carbon.

Now that mankind has completely set foot on Mars, the first step of the Mars development plan is considered to be completed successfully.

Next is the initial establishment of a permanent base on Mars, which will be used as a base camp for the development of Mars.

This is the second step of the entire Mars development plan and the most important step in the entire plan.

Do you want to carry out development work on Mars and realize Martian immigration in the future? This requires a permanent Mars base.

This Mars base must first be able to protect the human beings living on Mars, at least it must be hard enough to withstand accidents encountered on Mars.

And there must be enough life support systems in the Mars base to ensure the basic needs of humans on Mars

Oxygen production equipment is a must. Human beings can't live without oxygen for ten minutes. This is the first element of survival. Some simple things are best to survive in the base, which can also reduce the trouble of transportation.

Especially the food problem can best be solved in the base~IndoMTL.com~ If the food for humans on Mars has to be transported from the earth, then the development of Mars is just a fantasy.

This Mars base can only provide protection for the development of Mars if it can achieve basic self-sufficiency.

It’s not easy to do this. The entire R&D team is now busy with it.

The issue of construction materials has been solved. Now many mining robots have been produced. As long as they are transported to Mars, they can continuously mine various ores.

The integrated smelting and forging equipment and maintenance robots have also been manufactured.

It can be said that after a period of efforts, the materials needed to build a Mars base have basically been solved.

But the construction materials are just a small question. Other problems are the most troublesome.

The most troublesome thing is the base's life-saving system. This system is related to the safety of human life on Mars, but it cannot be joked in this regard.
