Of course, this is just a guess, and whether it is correct or not remains to be verified later. In any case, this is a major discovery.
At the same time, the news was also announced during a live broadcast on the Internet. An asteroid core worth 400 million yuan, a platinum asteroid, etc. suddenly appeared on the Internet and became a topic of concern to many netizens.
"Oh my god, one ton of platinum, Haoyu Technology has made a lot of money this time."
"It sounds as if this asteroid can really be transported back. You must know that the star core is estimated to weigh two to three tons. How to transport it back from the moon is a problem. Even if it can be transported back, the cost will be
It’s huge, even far exceeding the value of this star core, and it’s not cost-effective at all.”
"Can you refine it on the moon and then transport the platinum and gold in it back?"
"It is simply impossible at this stage. Unless humans build a base on the moon in the future and have related ore refining equipment, it is just a foolish dream."
"There is a question. Does the moon belong to mankind? If Haoyu Technology really transports this star core back, who will own it?"
"Of course it belongs to the discoverer and acquirer. The moon belongs to all mankind, but it is also on a first-come, first-served basis. It is the same as this ocean. In theory, the fish resources in the ocean beyond the territorial waters are also owned by all mankind.
We cannot ask fishing boats fishing on the high seas to contribute their catch just because the ocean belongs to all humans."
"What a pity. I really hope that Haoyu Technology can transport this asteroid core back and then customize some rings and jewelry. I think many people will like it."
"If it can really be shipped back, processing rings and jewelry is too wasteful. Compared with its economic value, its scientific research value is relatively higher. In addition, if it can be shipped back, this can be regarded as the first time for mankind
The precious metal star core was discovered on an alien planet and transported back. Its representative significance is self-evident. I suggest you put it in a museum and collect tickets."
"Thinking about it, a company as big as Haoyu Technology has no shortage of these 400 million. I think if it can really be transported back, with Wu Hao's nature, I will probably put it in the headquarters park of Haoyu Technology.
As a sculptural display."
"Don't tell me, it's really possible. Haoyu Technology's first unmanned experimental spacecraft is placed in their company's campus."
"Not necessarily. With such a large star core and such a high value, it is really a waste to leave it in the open air. Wu Hao himself is a very pragmatic person. I thought that it would either be used for scientific research, or it might actually be used for scientific research.
It will be purified and smelted."
"It is definitely impossible to transport such a large star core back directly. If you really want to transport it back, it will probably be melted directly on the spot after retaining some samples."
"I hope it can be shipped back. Then I will save money to buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend."
"Then you probably have to wait again. This dream may not be realized in a short time."
"Haha, don't worry, don't worry, my girlfriend is probably still in my mother-in-law's belly."
…
On the other side, Wu Hao and the others were also talking about this platinum asteroid star core. Looking at the various strange ideas of netizens, Zhang Jun said with a smile: "I think this netizen's idea is very good. It dissolves on the spot."
Pour it into platinum gold ingots, then load them into the spaceship and transport them back. Then use these platinums to make some jewelry souvenirs and then sell them. You will definitely be able to make a lot of money."
It must be a pity to melt it down like this. If it can be transported 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 transported back. How to transport the two to three tons of star core and how much it will cost to transport it back." Zhang Jun shook his head repeatedly: "As I said, just melt it down to make jewelry souvenirs, such as rings, necklaces, pendants, and dogs.
If the cards and the like are sold with a limited number, I estimate we can sell them for seven or eight billion if they work well. In this way, after deducting shipping costs and related costs, we can still make a profit."
If we really do that, I guess we will be drowned by people spitting stars. If nothing else, these experts alone will probably scold us. Tong Juan said with a bitter smile.
We are originally a private commercial aerospace company, not a research institution, so we don’t have to worry so much. If they have the ability to find it themselves, and we found this star core, then it should be ours by rights.
We have the final say on how to deal with it. Zhang Jun waved his hands and frowned.
When Wu Hao heard Zhang Jun's unreasonable words, he laughed and said: "The future is that you have to transport it back. As long as you don't transport it back, it will become ownerless. In theory, everyone has the right to go."
Possess it."
Seeing Wu Hao speak, Zhang Jun immediately looked at him with a hopeful look on his face and asked: "With our current technical capabilities, are we sure we can transport this molten stone back?"
Hearing Zhang Jun's question, several other people also looked at him. Wu Hao smiled and said: "If it's just a ton of platinum nuggets, we still have the ability to transport them back from the moon. After all, we still have the ability to transport them back to the moon.
These are platinum gold nuggets, which have low requirements on the transportation environment, so they only need enough thrust, and there is no need to consider other issues. This is very different from manned spacecraft.
However, the problem in bringing it back is not the transportation, but the melting. How to melt the star core is the technical problem we have to consider."
After Wu Hao finished speaking, Yang Fan continued: "It is easy to melt such a star core on the earth, but it is difficult to melt such a large star core on the moon.
At present, the most regrettable way is to use the abundant solar energy resources on the moon and use refractive lenses to focus the high temperature to smelt the star core. However, the cost of transporting such a set of equipment to the moon is too high.
, not worth it at all.
The second method is to use solar energy, but instead of directly focusing on sunlight for smelting, it uses solar energy to generate electricity and then uses an electric arc furnace for smelting. This also requires related equipment, and the cost of building an electric arc furnace on the moon is
It’s definitely too high and not worth it.”
After hearing Yang Fan's words, Zhang Jun showed a look of frustration and pain on his face, and even Tong Juan and Zou Xiaodong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed on their faces.
Wu Hao saw this and said with a smile: "Actually, it is not impossible. If our lunar scientific research station is really established, we will definitely need to build an arc furnace. By then, we can completely
A platinum star core is 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 via spacecraft."
