I have a Black Tech Ball

Chapter 150 143 One Million Tons of Gold

A month passed by, within these days, but the crew inside Endeavour was not idle, it could be said to be very busy, in this month, they had detected a total of forty asteroids.

Among them, there were fifteen that could be towed back, and ten of these fifteen asteroids were valuable, but the most valuable was planet number ten.

The tenth planet was measured to be about 100 meters in diameter, the entire asteroid weighed about 1.5 million tons, and the main thing was that there was a very rich gold element on the asteroid, occupying eighty percent!

It's just a huge, huge vault!

Gold is extremely resistant to corrosion, that is to say, it is extremely stable, it has good electrical and thermal conductivity, and it plays an important role in many fields.

This one asteroid is calculated to contain over a million tons of gold, and a ton of gold on the market today weighs 286 million, so a million tons of gold would be... about 300 trillion dollars!

300 trillion dollars!

What is this concept, how much is this, many people have never even seen 100 million....

Of course, that's just a paper estimate, and when the asteroid is pulled back, the price of gold is bound to come down, but that's if it shrinks to a tenth of its original price, which would be $30 trillion!

"That's it!" Yang Lili said with her two eyes glowing, this time out to sea work (Star Ocean), not only has a basic salary, one million a month, there is a commission it, the commission is a millionth of this harvest!

It's all staff members who allocate the millionth according to their contribution!

Although astronauts are somewhat dangerous, the rewards are definitely high, which is why many people want to become astronauts.

A big reward is a big reward!

Endeavour docked alongside the tenth planet, remaining relatively forbidden from the tenth.

"Release thrusters!"

A single thruster flew from Endeavour, like a farmer sowing seeds, and these thrusters had a pair of wings, which made them faster.

These thrusters are methodically distributed on Planet Ten, and they can be used to provide initial power to the asteroid and get it moving.

Constantly adjusting the direction and magnitude of the thrusters' push will allow perfect control over the direction and speed of the asteroid's movement.

"Look everyone, the asteroid is starting to move." One person shouted in surprise.

"Increase the thrusting horsepower to ensure that asteroid number ten enters the prescribed orbit!" Yang Li Li gave the order.

Each thruster was precisely controlled, with a total of three hundred thrusters in front and back, two hundred and fifty of which were in working condition, while the remaining fifty were dormant.

These fifty thrusters were always ready to replace any that failed, acting as a spare tire, just in case.

The chances of it breaking down are slim to none, though.

These thrusters are fitted with solar absorbers, but the solar absorbers do not generate enough energy to sustain this thrust, so these thrusters will go to Endeavour in an orderly fashion to follow the energy change.

The Endeavour also serves as an energy replenishment station.

Soon, the tenth asteroid flew in the intended direction, and the crowd was greatly relieved to see the result, followed by joy: "We did it!"

Although this scenario had been simulated on the computer no less than a thousand times, it was the first time in reality, and the success rate was 99.9 percent according to the calculations, but the joy stirred in the heart after the real success.

It could be said to have set a precedent, and these people were destined to be recorded in the history books.

This capture of the asteroid is half of the success, the next is easier, but not to be taken lightly, began the return journey, I believe this return will shock the entire world!

After forty days of interstellar voyaging, an azure planet appeared on the Endeavour's screen, and not only on the screen, but through the windows, the planet could be seen with the naked eye.

That's right, the Endeavour was now within arm's reach on the edge of the water globe.

The next is the most important, the tenth planet must not fall on the water balloon, although the weight of the tenth planet is only 1.5 million tons, the diameter is only 100 meters, and the huge size of the water balloon is not worth mentioning, but if it really hit the water balloon, it is a disaster level.

After all, in the process of hitting the water balloon, a part of the gold will definitely be burned by friction, and after hitting it, a large part of it will be lost, this result is the technology ball no matter what, do not want to see.

Thirty Defenders had been aimed at the tenth planet, just in case, if the tenth planet's trajectory deviated, there was a good chance that it would be dangerous to the water sphere, then even if the tech sphere was reluctant and intolerant, it would destroy the tenth planet at the first opportunity!

Safety first, the planets can still go to the asteroid belt to be mined after they're gone, but right now humans produce only one water balloon that!

When it really must be destroyed, the technology ball will never be soft, the lesser of the two, this point technology ball is still clear, when the thirty Defenders launched together, will be able to hit the tenth planet in pieces, so that the threat of falling on the water balloon will be minimal.

Most of the planet's debris would rub off as it rubbed against the atmosphere, and only a small fraction would succeed in hitting the water balloon, but even if it did then there would be no widespread disaster.

One thing is certain, the tenth planet was blown up, will produce countless small meteorites landed on the water balloon, will form a large area of meteor shower, the worst of it is to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to treat everyone on the water balloon to see a beautiful meteor shower, this money technology ball is still affordable.......

The speed of the asteroid is getting slower and slower as it approaches the water balloon, for the convenience of the water balloon capture, if the asteroid is too fast, then it will pass the water balloon, too slow and there is a possibility of landing on the water balloon, speed this aspect should be taken well.

The good news was that these were controlled with the high precision of the smart computer, and the speed could be controlled to between 1mm.

"Capture successful, Planet Ten is now a satellite of the water balloon." Seeing that the tenth asteroid was functioning within its prescribed orbit, Yang Li Li would smile heartily.

Among this asteroid, if it was refined later, according to the preliminary rough estimate, a million tons of gold could be refined out, so that the price of gold would most certainly encounter Waterloo.

The price of gold is high because of the shortage, and now directly to a million tons of gold, not bargain it!
