Chapter 6 No Time to Feel Lonely

If the ring belt can be successfully built, even if it is located at the Lagrangian point 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, it is still OK to observe it from the earth with the naked eye.

After all, the moon's diameter is about 3476.28 kilometers, and the ring belt with a diameter of 200 kilometers is still very conspicuous when the full moon is full.

Of course, for Chen Yu now, mining first is more serious.

At this time, Chen Yu had already driven a mining barge to fly to asteroids. Someone in the live broadcast room left an SC and asked him if he was still digging M-shaped asteroids today.

Because Chen Yu had introduced information about asteroid classification to the audience in the previous live broadcast, after reading this SC, he quickly replied: "Today we won't dig metal. We dug enough metal yesterday. Today we mainly dig asteroids C.

This is the most known asteroid, accounting for about 75% of the total asteroids discovered so far. Generally speaking, its composition is the same as that of carbonaceous chondrites, and they are mainly composed of silicates, oxides and sulfides.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this asteroid usually contains water. The main purpose of digging this asteroid today is to obtain water replenishment.

Water is very precious in space. I have been building a platform these days because I have to save water, so I have never taken a bath. I can only rinse my mouth with a sip of water every day and wipe my face with a wet towel. So I want to get more water resources so that I can take a shower quickly.”

With the help of smart terminals, Chen Yu searches various information quickly, so he can speak out all kinds of relatively rare knowledge.

In fact, a large part of this knowledge was learned carefully by him in the network connecting the earth through artificial intelligence these days.

After all, if you want to build a ring belt, even with all the material conditions, Chen Yu still needs to have enough knowledge.

So during the day, Chen Yu drove a mining barge out to mine, and did a live broadcast and communicated with the audience in the live broadcast room.

At night, he was basically trying to make up for knowledge related to astronomy, as well as to learn from artificial intelligence about how to better use the platform. It can be said that he was trying to find enough things for himself every day.

This is not that Chen Yu is self-abuse, but that he is afraid that once he is idle, the loneliness of the only one in space will swallow him up.

In this case, he must insist that if his emotions collapse, it will be a dead end, because even if someone wants to save him, he will not be able to come from the earth. After all, humans have not launched an overloaded spacecraft to leave low-Earth orbit for most of half a century.

The laser miner installed on the front end of the mining barge emits a beam of light containing strong energy, cutting a huge asteroid in front of the hull.

The cut asteroid fragments will be pulled into the cargo hold of the hull by the gravity pulling from the mining barge. When the cargo hold is full, Chen Yu can drive the mining barge back to the construction platform.

The mining barge is not large in size, so the cargo hold used to hold ore is also very small. Chen Yu can only collect about 500 cubic meters of ore at a time.

After decomposing and refining the 500 cubic cube of ore, there are not many minerals that can be obtained. However, Chen Yu has not only digged a ship of mine every day. After these days of hard work, he has accumulated some minerals.

Soon the cargo hold was full, and Chen Yu did not stay and drove the mining barge back to the construction platform.

After switching the spacecraft to the autonomous driving parking and entering the berth, Chen Yu then pressed the automatic unloading button on the operating table, unloaded the ore in the cargo hold, and sent it for refining.

After getting off the spaceship, Chen Yu returned to the living cabin of the construction platform, which was the blank room with only one bed when he woke up at first.

This is the only living space on the entire construction platform and also a place where Chen Yu rests.

Because he has a mine on hand, although he is not rich, he can still squeeze out some furniture to improve his living environment.

So in the room where there was only one bed and a table on the bed, there is now a small round table for eating, another desk and two chairs.

Although the whole room was still empty and suffocating, it was a little better than the previous feeling of complete blankness, and it also gave Chen Yu more space to activities and rest, so he would not have to stay in the only bed.

Sitting down at the small round table for meals, the artificial intelligence quickly delivered today's food, which was still tasteless synthetic blocks.

But for Chen Yu, this is the only food here.

Although it still tastes like chewing wax when eaten, according to artificial intelligence, this food was developed to take into account all the factors needed to maintain human health. It is rich in various nutrients and can also provide enough calories. Just eating one piece can provide enough nutrition and fullness.

However, Chen Yu just wants to complain about this. Since all the factors required to maintain human health are considered, why not add a little taste!

This kind of white taste is even worse than the most unpalatable food Chen Yu has ever eaten.

Fortunately, the size of a piece of synthetic food is not large and can be swallowed in a few bites, which makes Chen Yu still tolerated.

In fact, even if he can't stand it, he has no choice. If he doesn't eat it, he will starve to death. These difficult foods to swallow are the only things Chen Xin can eat at present.

And although it has no taste, it is still a serious food. This is acceptable than the recycling of one's own excrement.

While eating, Chen Yu was also using artificial intelligence to check the current construction of the platform.

The 500 cubic cube ore that had just been mined has been refined during the period when Chen Yu was having dinner, and it has become various raw materials and is stored in the warehouse.

Chen Yu calculated the quantity of various raw materials and found that the first target value he set had reached, so he issued a production order to the artificial intelligence and began to manufacture a facility called the control tower.

The control tower is the most core of the various related facilities required to build the ring belt. It is responsible for providing energy for other facilities and controlling the automatic operation of other facilities. It can be said that it is the most indispensable thing in the entire ring belt construction process.

Therefore, if you want to expand other facilities, realize the automatic production of parts and components required during the construction of the ring belt, a control tower is an indispensable thing.

After doing all this, Chen Yu stood up from the chair. He planned to take a shower and start studying tonight.
