Vol 2 Chapter 1702: Asteroid? Melt it to make a ring!

Of course, this is just a guess, and whether it is correct has yet to be verified. In any case, this is a major discovery.

　　 At the same time, the news was also announced in the webcast. The nucleus of an asteroid worth 400 million yuan, a platinum asteroid and so on suddenly sprang up on the Internet, and has become a topic of concern to many netizens.

　　 "Oh my God, a ton of platinum, this time Haoyu Technology has made a lot of money."

"It seems that this asteroid can really be transported back. You must know that this star core is estimated to weigh two or three tons. How to transport it back from the moon is a problem. Even if it can be transported back, the cost is also It's huge, even far exceeding the value of this star core, and it's not worthwhile at all."

　　 "Can you refine it on the moon, and then transport the platinum and gold back."

　　 "It is impossible at this stage. Unless mankind establishes a base on the moon in the future and possesses relevant ore-refining equipment, it will be idiotic."

　　 "There is a question. The moon belongs to mankind. If Haoyu Technology really ships this star core back, who owns it."

"Of course it belongs to the discoverer and the gainer. The moon is owned by all mankind, but it is also first-come, first-served. In theory, the fish resources in the ocean beyond the territorial sea are also owned by all mankind. We cannot ask those fishing boats that fish on the high seas to contribute their catch just because the ocean is owned by all mankind."

　　 "It's a pity, I would like to hope Haoyu Technology can ship this little planetary core back, and then customize some ring jewelry, I think many people will like it."

"If it can be shipped back, it would be too wasteful to process ring jewelry. Compared to its economic value, its scientific research value is relatively higher. In addition, if it can be shipped back, this will be the first time for mankind. The precious metal nucleus that was discovered on an alien planet and transported back is self-evident. It is self-evident that you can put it in a museum to collect tickets."

"I thought of it, for a company as big as Haoyu Technology, there is no shortage of these 400 million. I think if it can be shipped back, with Wu Hao's nature, I guess it will be placed in the Haoyu Technology Headquarters Park. As a sculpture."

　　 "Don't say it, it is really possible. Haoyu Technology's first unmanned experimental spacecraft is placed in their company park."

"It's not necessarily. Such a large stellar core and its value is so high. It is too wasteful to put it in the open air. Wu Hao himself is a very pragmatic person. When I think of it, it will be used for scientific research, or it may be true. It will be refined and smelted."

　　 "It is certainly impossible to ship such a large nucleus back directly. If you really want to ship it back. It is estimated that it will be melted on the spot after retaining some samples."

　　 "I hope it can be shipped back. Then I will save money and buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend."

　　 "Then you probably have to wait again. I am afraid that this dream will not be realized in a short time."

　　 "Haha, don't worry, don't worry, my girlfriend is probably still in the belly of my mother-in-law."

　　……

　　 On the other side, Wu Hao and the others are also talking about the nucleus of this platinum planet. Looking at the various strange ideas of netizens, Zhang Jun said with a smile: "I think this netizen's idea is very good. It is melted and poured into platinum ingots on the spot, and then loaded into a spacecraft and shipped back. Then it will be made of platinum. Make some jewelry souvenirs, and then sell them, you can definitely make a lot of money."

　　 It must be a pity to melt like this. If it can be shipped back, its scientific research value far exceeds its economic value. Yang Fan shook his head and said.

"The problem is that it can't be shipped back. How to ship the two or three tons of star cores? How high is the cost to ship it back." Zhang Jun shook his head repeatedly: "According to me, I melted it to make jewelry souvenirs, what kind of rings, necklaces, pendants, dogs? Brands and the like are marked with a limited number and then sold. If it works well, I estimate that it can sell for 7.8 billion. In this way, we can make a fortune in addition to shipping and related costs."

　　 If we really do that, I guess we might be drowned by people spitting stars. Among other things, these experts alone might scold us. Tong Juan said with a wry smile.

　　 We were originally a private commercial aerospace company, and not a research institution, so we don’t have to worry so much. If they have the ability to let them find it on their own, this star core was found by us, then it should belong to us, and we have the final say on how to deal with it. Zhang Jun waved his hand and frowned.

Wu Hao heard Zhang Jun’s unreasonable remarks and laughed: "The future is that you have to transport it back. As long as you don’t transport it back, it belongs to no owner. In theory, everyone has the right to go. Possess it."

　　 Seeing Wu Hao speaking, Zhang Jun immediately looked at him and asked with expectation: "With our current technical capabilities, is it possible to ship this melt back?"

　　 Hearing Zhang Jun’s question, several other people also looked at him. Wu Hao smiled upon seeing this and said: "If it's just a ton of platinum bullion, we still have the ability to transport it back from the moon. After all, these are platinum bullion, and the requirements for the transportation environment are low after all~www.readwn .com~ So you only need enough thrust, no need to consider other aspects, which is very different from manned spacecraft.

　　 However, the problem of transporting it back is not in transportation, but in melting. How to melt this star core is the technical problem we have to consider. "

　　Wu Hao's words fell, and Yang Fan went on to say: "It's easy to melt such a nucleus on the earth, but it is difficult to melt such a large nucleus on the moon.

　　 At present, the most unfortunate way is to use the abundant solar energy resources on the moon and use the refractive lens to focus the high temperature to melt the stellar core. It's just that the cost of transporting such a set of equipment to the moon is too great to be worthwhile.

　　 The second method is to use solar energy, but instead of focusing on sunlight directly for smelting, it uses solar power to generate electricity and then use an electric arc furnace for smelting. Similarly, this also requires related equipment. The cost of building an electric arc furnace on the moon must be too high, and some are not cost-effective."

　　 Hearing Yang Fan's words, Zhang Jun showed a frustrated and painful look on his face. Even Tong Juan and Zou Xiaodong were disappointed on their faces.

Upon seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and said: "Actually, it is not impossible. If our lunar scientific research station is really established, it will definitely need to build an electric arc furnace. The platinum nuclei are transported back for smelting.

　　 Part of it can be directly used in the construction of our lunar scientific research station and lunar city, and the other part can also be transported back by spacecraft. "
