Chapter 641 (1/2)
soon, an astronaut went to the front of the track and picked up the platinum ingot on it.
Although this platinum ingot is not very large, it is not light at all.
The density of platinum is still very high. A small piece of platinum ingot weighs more than ten jin.
The astronaut carefully collected the ingot and prepared to send it back to earth.
This first platinum ingot is of great commemorative significance. It is the first commercial mining in extraterrestrial space.
The iron ore mined at the time of the construction of the base is only based on local materials, which can not be said to be a commercial mining behavior.
It can be said that Yesu has opened up a new era. In the future, human beings can make money by mining on extraterrestrial planets.
Even though platinum won't make much money since it was shipped back to earth from Mars, it still makes a lot of sense.
It is an important indicator to measure whether a civilization enters the universe or not.
At present, there is no profit in extraterrestrial mining, just because the means of transportation are not advanced enough.
By the time Yesu built the spacecraft, the cost of transportation between Mars and earth would be greatly reduced.
If the cost is reduced to a certain extent, a lot of minerals on Mars will be worth mining.
Mars is rich in precious metals and has a good prospect for development.
At that time, the profit in this can be big, and it is the profit that Ye Su enjoys alone.
Yesu plans to set up an interstellar mining company, which will be responsible for mining the minerals on the outer planets.
If the company develops well, it may become a trans Galaxy company.
However, these are later things, and it is not of great significance to mention them now.
When ye Su saw that the platinum ingot had been collected, she was much less interested in this matter, and immediately reduced a lot of attention.
In any case, the mining of platinum and gold has entered the normal, and there will be some step-by-step work in the future.
Naturally, someone will be responsible for this matter to ensure the smooth mining of platinum.
Yesu will be able to rocket back to earth as long as there are enough platinum.
Other things will be followed up naturally, and he doesn't need to worry about his boss.
Yesu estimates that the first batch of platinum will be delivered back soon.
I'm afraid something interesting will happen. At least the platinum market will be greatly disturbed.
Yesu brought back so much platinum from Mars that it would be impossible if it did not affect the precious metal market.
However, under the impact of a large number of platinum, the price of gold and silver may fluctuate greatly.
Ye Su would like to see the faces of those who are in the platinum business, hoping that they will not go to the rooftop immediately.
Don't want to know that the price of platinum will plunge. Ye Su will transport so many platinum back at one time, and platinum will not be able to maintain the current price.
