Chapter 945 - Like A Movie (2/2)

“It’s like producing a movie.” Xia Shiyu praised.

“And it’s a sci-fi blockbuster,” Jiang Chen added.

He had already seen the 3D simulation of Stingray P-1. Of course, he wasn’t as stunned as Xia Shiyu, who was now seeing such a futuristic mining method.

Xia Shiyu suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Chen, puzzled.

“Why don’t we move it to the synchronous orbit?”

Jiang Chen smiled and began to show off his aerospace knowledge that he acquired during the process.

“While the diameter of the asteroid is only 500 meters, it has a much higher mass. If it’s too close to Earth, gravity will drag it down. Of course, it’s not impossible to move it to the synchronous orbit. We just have to add a spiral arm as a counterweight, similar to the design of Celestial City, and it can hang in the sky.”

“But from the cost considerations, it is absolutely unnecessary.”

“The pulse engine used by Stingray is powered by nuclear fusion cells, and the fuel cost isn’t high. Except for the acceleration and deceleration phase, the aircraft that sets the route is only in inertial cruising for a long distance.”

“We just need to send the Stingray to the asteroid, cut the ore from its body, and pull it back through the cargo craft.”

Stingray P-1 was like a mosquito feasting on a piece of fat meat—it continuously peeled the ore from the asteroid and collected it into a foldable container. Waiting next to it was the cargo spacecraft independently developed by Celestial Trade. It used the RM-400 plasma propulsion engine. While the acceleration performance was inferior compared to the pulse engine, it was more suitable for large and medium-sized cargo spacecraft due to the high thrust.

After all, the cargo spacecraft didn’t need to perform anything highly maneuverable; it just needed to transport in straight lines.

Xia Shiyu glanced at Jiang Chen and her mouth formed a sweet curvature.

Unlike Ayesha, if she was asked when Jiang Chen was the most attractive, her answer would undoubtedly be when he was confident.

The relationship between the two was now much closer.

As promised last year, Jiang Chen selectively told Xia Shiyu about the apocalypse.

In fact, even he didn’t say anything, Xia Shiyu had already guessed something, but she just never made mention of it.

However, when she heard Jiang Chen narrating his story, she was quite surprised.

As Jiang Chen expected, the scenario in her mind was almost completely different from his actual situation. She originally thought Jiang Chen had transmigrated to a galaxy that entered the interstellar era, and the reason why he spared no effort in developing space technology was to help the Earth fight against an interstellar civilization…

And because of certain restrictions, he was forced to go back and stay for a while.

Women’s imaginations were certainly fascinating. Her creativity was enough to create a Hollywood blockbuster.

After a while, the minerals collected by Stingray P-1 already filled a container. Two mechanical arms clamped the hook of the cargo container, and Stingray P-1 carried the cargo container to the side of the cargo spacecraft, then slowly placed the cargo in the cargo compartment at the abdomen of the ship, and the mechanical arms removed a memory alloy plate from the cargo spacecraft.

Upon powering up, the memory alloy plate would unfold into a similar container.

The next step was to repeat the work.

Xia Shiyu still had something to deal with, so Jiang Chen left the launch center and boarded the yacht at the port. Just as he was preparing to return to Coro Island, a call from Presidential Palace rang on his watch.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Yaping immediately said, “We’re in trouble.”
