For these elements that have not been discovered on the earth, whether it is Wang Bin, Qin Lao, or everyone present, they are very clear about their role in human civilization, and they naturally hope that they can be mined immediately.

However, both Wang Bin himself and other people present knew that it was not easy to exploit these undiscovered resources on the earth.

First of all, it is natural that the resources of these minerals are located on Mars. Although human civilization has a certain ability to land on Mars, this is only limited to a small scale. If you want to land on Mars on a large scale, you need to However, the current capabilities of human civilization are still somewhat insufficient.

Because human civilization is now capable of manufacturing space battleships with a tonnage of tens of thousands of tons, as well as space fighters and space planes. These spacecraft can all land on Mars. However, among these spacecraft, those that actually have the ability to take off and land on Mars It's just a space fighter.

After all, the tonnage of the spacecraft is too large. The weight of the empty ship alone reaches tens of thousands of tons. If various equipment is added, the weight of the spacecraft can even reach tens of thousands of tons. Such a weight, even in It is impossible for the moon to take off and land, let alone Mars, which is bigger than the moon in terms of gravity.

As for aerospace planes, except for Phoenix 1, which can land when the simple take-off and landing runway is completed, other aerospace planes do not have the ability to take off and land at present, because other types of aerospace planes must use standard Take off and land on the runway.

After all, the gravity of Mars is two-fifths that of Earth. In addition, there is an atmosphere on Mars, so a runway is necessary to allow larger aerospace aircraft to take off and land with the help of Martian air.

Therefore, if you want to mine these minerals on a large scale on Mars, you must first establish a standard landing strip on Mars.

In addition, it is okay for one or two small-scale aircraft to land on Mars. If the maintenance is done well before then, the chance of accidents is not high, but once large-scale mining is carried out, then it must be done. Like the moon, it must have the ability to maintain and maintain aerospace aircraft.

In addition, the living accommodation and rest of the mining personnel are also a huge problem, so they have to build a huge survival base on Mars.

According to the estimates of Wang Bin and others, this survival base must be able to meet the production and living capacity of at least 100,000 people, and the construction of such a base is definitely a huge project.

In addition, there are difficulties in mining. You must know that the place where these minerals are located is more than 700 meters below the ice layer!

the most important is,

The ice layer on this underground lake is very hard. Even ordinary ice layer is harder than steel, so it is very difficult to mine.

According to the estimates of Wang Bin and others, if humans want to realize large-scale mining on Mars, these minerals will not be realized until at least ten years later.

However, Wang Bin, Mr. Qin and the others were a little depressed because they were unable to mine on a large scale, but small-scale mining would not trouble them. Like other commonly used minerals, it is used on a large scale.

Because Wang Bin, Qin Lao and others are very clear that these minerals are absolutely uncommon even in the universe, so the method used is absolutely like the scarce strategic elements on the earth, using a small amount, not to mention Now, Wang Bin and the others are still at a loss as to how to use these minerals. They need to conduct further analysis and conduct a series of experiments on these minerals.

Therefore, even small-scale mining is temporarily enough for the current human civilization.

As for the side of Mars, Wang Bin gave them an order to first determine how much of these minerals are contained here. If it is only a little bit, then there is no need to mobilize so many people to establish a large-scale mining here. The base, if there are a lot of reserves of these minerals here, then it is necessary to establish a large-scale mining base.

 …

Following the order of the command center, Peng Ming and others who were far away on Mars immediately began to explore the reserves of these minerals here. The preliminary construction is completed, and the take-off and landing of the Phoenix-1 aerospace plane can be realized initially.

At the same time, in the following week, with the help of the Dijiang spacecraft and the Earth Command Center, Peng Ming and the others initially ascertained the reserves of these substances in this area. According to the data, these minerals here The storage capacity has reached nearly three million tons in total.

Its ore veins are five kilometers wide at their widest point, ten kilometers at their longest point, and five meters thick at their thickest point.

When Wang Bin and others saw the data of this preliminary exploration, they all immediately smiled. After all, the reserves of this data are already very astonishing. You must know that many strategically scarce materials on the earth are still not available. to achieve such reserves.

After all, this is not the most common substance in the entire universe! It is a very rare substance in the entire universe!

Of course, in fact, Qin Lao and others at this time are unable to define these substances in more detail. After all, Qin Lao and others do not know the proportion of these substances in the universe, but there is one point, that It is absolutely rarer than those rare strategic elements on the earth, otherwise, these substances would not have been found on the entire earth.

At the same time, after ascertaining the reserves of these minerals here, Wang Bin and the others did not order Mars to mine immediately on the spot, but asked Peng Ming and the others to continue building the Mars aerospace aircraft landing strip. They are also allowed to continue to drill deeply on the ice above the underground lake in places other than these minerals.

After all, compared to the previous accidental discovery of these minerals, exploring whether there is really liquid water under the underground lake is the main task of their landing on Mars this time. Finding these minerals was just a surprise.

In addition, Wang Bin's Earth command center also ordered the Dijiang spacecraft to immediately carry out more detailed upgrades to other places on Mars. Checking Mars, except for this place that has such minerals, there are other places on Mars. Whether there is still such a mineral in the place, and whether there is a substance that has not been discovered by human civilization.

But unfortunately, after Captain Qiu discovered the minerals here, he immediately explored other areas of Mars, and found no such minerals, nor did he discover any other substances that human civilization has not discovered. .
