I have a little black hole

Although the production of some products in space is more technologically demanding, it is undeniable that the performance of producing some products in a microgravity and vacuum environment is far superior to that of products produced at ground plants, which has been proven by the company through numerous space experiments.

Even without this benefit, just producing the freighters and all kinds of mechanical equipment urgently needed by the colonization program in space can dramatically reduce the company's production and launch costs and save a lot of time!

How could such a good thing happen to the Infinite Gravity Group? So the company will never let anyone interfere with the ownership of this little planet.

Because even removing the more expensive metal parts, the more weight silicates remaining on the asteroid are very valuable to the company. The price of silicates on Earth is not high, but to send more than 400,000 tons of silicates into space, even the infinite gravity group will cost more than 10 billion yuan in transportation costs.

The so-called silicate refers to the general term of compounds formed by the combination of silicon and oxygen with other chemical elements (mainly aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, etc.).

It is widely distributed in the Earth's crust and is a major component of most rocks (such as granite) and soils, and it is also a major component on many small planets.

Most silicates have high melting points and stable chemical properties, and are the main raw materials of the silicate industry. Silicate products and materials are widely used in various industries, scientific research and everyday life.

Consider the silicon with the most content, which is no less important for industry than those metals, and even indispensable in many fields!

It is used extensively to smelt iron alloy into silicon as an alloy element in the steel industry, and as a reducing agent in many kinds of metal smelting. Even if the infinite gravity group uses the metallic material on this asteroid to smelt the space airport or parts of the space factory in space, they cannot be separated from silicon.

Silicon is also a good component in the aluminum alloy. The vast majority of cast aluminum alloys contain silicon, and the aluminum alloy components on board the spacecraft are obviously indispensable when the Infinite Gravity Group wants to build a spacecraft in space.

Because the aluminum alloy is lighter in quality and not worse in strength than the iron alloy with heavier quality, it is obviously able to significantly reduce the weight of the spacecraft when used in large quantities. The smaller the quality of the spacecraft, the obviously less energy is required to propel it.

At the same time, silicon is also the raw material of ultra-pure silicon in the electronics industry. Electronic devices made of ultra-pure semiconductor single crystal silicon have the advantages of small volume, light weight, good reliability and long service life.

High-power transistors, rectifiers and solar cells made of silicon monocrystals with specific trace impurities are better than those made of germanium monocrystals.

Although the company has more sophisticated graphene chips on its side, they will not reject this cheap and practical chip, at least at the space factory and the space energy factory, it is more economical and less expensive to use this chip directly produced in space.

And if we're going to build a larger space energy plant, we're going to have to produce a lot of solar panels from the planet and send them to space to assemble them, as the space energy plant before the company did.

Although the company's photovoltaic solar panels made of graphene materials have a very high photovoltaic conversion rate, it needs to transport more than 100 million tons of solar panels into space to build a super-energy factory like the Dyson sphere, even on the scale of one hundred thousandth of the final version!

In order to transport such a huge amount of materials into space, it is obviously impossible to accomplish it with the current company's transportation capacity, and it is impossible to do it for another 10 years, because there are more important tasks that also require a huge amount of transportation capacity to complete.

In that case, if silicon can be directly used in space to produce solar panels, it can undoubtedly save a lot of power and development time. Energy conversion rate. Although there is no graphene as a material for solar panels, it is a low point of completion that can be compensated by dose!

The most important thing in space is the space. When it grows, it's done! At the very least, with these silicon-based solar panels, the energy problems of the company's superspace plant and the most important energy issues in the company's colonization plan can be fully guaranteed.

Is it obvious that building a nuclear power plant in space alone is not a healthy energy use model, and that a nuclear power plant with even more powerful power generation capabilities is comparable to the Sun's superfusion? Isn't it foolish to have free, unlimited energy to build a huge amount of nuclear power plants in space at no great cost?

Who can deny the benefits of silicon, a material on this asteroid, enough to deliver huge and constant returns to the company in the future?

In addition, silicon has many applications, such as the maximum operating temperature of the electrocaloric element of silicon molybdenum rod can reach 1700 ℃, it has resistance to aging and good oxidation resistance, and silicon-produced trichlorohydrogen silicon can be used, hundreds of silicone lubricants and waterproof compounds can be formulated.

None of these things is missing from the company's space construction plan. The silicon in the remaining 400,000 tons of silicate alone is worth a lot, let alone the remaining ones. With the oxygen and other gases present in the compound, don't you have to say much about the importance of these things in space?

Anyway, the Infinite Gravity Group's overall estimate of the asteroid exceeds $1 trillion in the most conservative cases. How could they possibly give countries an excuse to reach out to the asteroid for their modest sum of less than $40 billion?

Anyway, on the side of the Infinite Gravity Group, this little planet is a gift from God. How could someone else get it? The slightest chance of an accident must be eliminated!

At first, many ordinary people did not understand the decision of Infinite Gravity Group. They felt that this kind of free money was stupid. Even many people sprayed Infinite Gravity Group wanted to use this crisis to build a death saving gold medal for themselves.

But at the reminder of some brain-living people, they reacted, tens of billions of dollars is nothing compared to the value of the little planet itself, this number is not even a penny, no wonder infinite gravity group does not want to charge this little money!

Others, however, have raised their own questions online: "Since we all know that this asteroid is so valuable, are other countries reluctant? Governments can't just turn a blind eye to this, can they?"
