Chapter 221 Huge resource requirements

Here at the space factory in "City of the Sky", Li Fu accompanied Wang Aiguo to inspect the entire space factory, and explained in detail while leading the way.

"Our space factory is currently mainly used to produce Dumbo and Jumbo spacecraft. It has ten large construction berths and can start building ten large spacecraft at the same time."

Li Fu and Wang Aiguo looked at the busy space factory in the void through the thick tempered glass. The space factory resembled a "concave" structure, and a giant flying elephant under construction was moored in the gap. The spaceship, with countless mechanical arms on both sides, is constantly busy, an unusually busy scene.

Fuyun Group's Dumbo and Jumbo spacecraft are now the most sought-after products in the entire world. Every spacecraft under construction has been pre-sold months ago. Now the production task It's been 5 years now.

China's domestic capital is very crazy. Once the Dumbo and Jumbo spaceships are in hand, they can go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids once they have a full crew. , In addition to all aspects of expenses, you can also make a lot of money, which is faster than stealing money.

Therefore, there is a great desire for Dumbo and Jumbo spaceships. Whoever doesn't want to make more money, naturally the orders of Fuyun Group will explode, and they will not be able to produce them at all.

"Will the normal production and operation of your company be affected if the Huashan is built?"

Wang Aiguo nodded. This space factory is very huge, it is the best embodiment of China's space age, and it is also the most advanced space factory in the world. It is considered to be the only space factory that can undertake the construction of "Huashan".

"There will definitely be an impact. The size of the 'Huashan' is too large. At that time, our entire space factory will not be able to continue to build other spaceships, and the space factory will have to be rebuilt to barely meet the needs of the 'Huashan'. 'In the early stage of construction, it was only possible to build the skeleton and frame of the 'Huashan', and the actual construction had to be completed in space."

Li Fu nodded. It is hard work to undertake the construction of "Huashan". Be changed by it.

"For our Huaxia, for our human beings, some sacrifices must be made. Of course, the country will not forget those who paid for it. Xiao Li, if you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask me."

Wang Aiguo nodded. He and Li Fu had not known each other for a day or two. He also knew that Li Fu seldom made demands when dealing with the country. Faced with many difficulties, after all, the whole of China is now working with the whole country to build a powerful cosmic army.

"I'm definitely not going to be polite. The main difficulty for us now is that there are too few raw materials, so I hope that the mined asteroids can be given priority to supply us, otherwise it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!"

Li Fu smiled helplessly. "Huashan" has a mass of 10 billion tons. Even if it is calculated as 1000 million tons for an asteroid, it needs 100 asteroids, and all of these asteroids need to be 100% contained. Iron, in fact, this is almost impossible. Asteroids that can reach more than 70% iron are very difficult to encounter. Calculated, it may take nearly 200 million-ton asteroids to meet the requirements of the "Huashan" mission. " demand.

However, now that China is developing rapidly in the field of space, there are too many places that need to use steel. Space farmland, solar farms, building spaceships, frigates, etc., the demand for steel seems to never be satisfied.

The asteroids mined from the asteroid belt have been snapped up before reaching the earth. Although the Fuyun Group is rich and powerful, sometimes they can't buy and sell by force. A big buyer of asteroids, so the number of asteroids that can fall into the hands of Fuyun Group is less than 4%.

Only relying on 4% of the number of asteroids, coupled with the rapid development of the Fuyun Group itself, this simply cannot meet the huge amount of construction of the "Huashan", so this aspect must be coordinated by Huaxia officials, as much as possible It is necessary to tilt resources over, otherwise Fuyun Group will not have enough resources to build space battleships even if it has the construction technology.

"Don't worry," I will focus on solving this matter. In the future, 2% of the asteroids mined from the asteroid belt will be used to build Huashan, and 1% of the resources mined from the moon will be used to build Huashan. I think this should be enough to ensure the supply of Huashan's resources.

Wang Aiguo nodded. One should not be too dark. The Fuyun Group contributes people, efforts and technology. The country should at least prepare resources. Otherwise, if Fuyun Group should raise everything, then It is really difficult for a strong man.

"This is barely enough, but I think we should increase the mining of asteroid resources. Now the number of asteroids mined in a year is no more than 30, and it is less than 3 a month. It's too little."

Li Fu quickly calculated in his mind, and then nodded slowly. Now Huaxia officials need to use a lot of resources, not just "Huashan", the frigate of "Huashan", "Songshan", "Taishan" ", "Hengshan", "Huangshan", "Lushan", etc. Although these frigates are not as large as the "Huashan", their combined mass exceeds 100 billion tons, which is ten times that of the "Huashan".

In addition, as many as 10 space fighters, space battleships, etc. will be built. It seems that the iron demand for each space fighter and space battleship is not much, but the number cannot be too large, and the overall quantity Add up to more than 10 billion tons, which also requires very large resources.

It would be nothing if these resources were placed on the earth, but this is in space. It is impossible to transport steel from the earth to space, otherwise the cost would be enough to drag down Huaxia.

Therefore, the best resources are mined from the asteroid belt, and the second is mined from the moon. The steel resources mined by these two methods are much, much cheaper than those transported from the earth.
