1260 Treasure
Ye Fei pursed his lips and said with a little disappointment: "Okay, let's go to the next target...Yi Qi, you decide the route and ensure that a star does not fall. |[2][3][w][x]}"
The diameter of m67 is only more than ten light years. Nearly 600 stars are placed in such a small range. In addition to binary stars, the distance between the closest stars is about 0.3 light years, and the distance between the farthest lonely star and its companion will not exceed 1.5 light years.
Ye Fei felt that the Xinyuan number is now like a mouse that has penetrated into a rice jar.
Such a close distance made the bridge officers who had just discussed the habitable planet of the white dwarf, feel a strange feeling from the bottom of their hearts... If the supernova explosion here blows away the Earth-like planet, how likely will it be to be captured by the white dwarf?
"I understand!" Yi Qi immediately formulated the simplest navigation plan to carry out future navigation based on the plane.
Just twenty-six minutes later, the Xinyuan flew to the second target.
The second target is a classic yellow dwarf. As the exploration work began, two earth-like planets and a giant planet were successfully discovered. The elemental measurements later also proved that this galaxy has a large number of heavy elements, and its elemental composition is almost not much different from that of the solar system.
After a while, the third Earth-like planet orbited from behind the star and discovered three Earth-like planets in succession. Cheers sounded from the bridge of the Xinyuan.
Ye Fei immediately made a decision and designated this place as a new industrial base.
According to the normal procedure, he needs to contact the base star as soon as possible, get the materials needed to build the star gate, and assemble the new star gate. However, this yellow dwarf star, which has just been composed of No. 001, is just an ordinary star on the edge of the m67 star cluster. Continue to sail deeper into the star cluster, maybe you will encounter better goals, and it is a bit of a waste to leave the portal here.
So Ye Fei put away his excitement and informed the base star of the situation, and directed the Xinyuan to continue to go deeper.
Ten people on Xinyuan worked in two shifts, and they flew 24 hours uninterrupted. In just one day, they checked nearly thirty stars.
We could have seen more targets, but the density of stars in the cluster was too high, and many stars were extreme celestial bodies such as white dwarfs. Although the distance between stars was not small, the interstellar space here was much more complicated than normal.
Gravitational anomalies caused by excessive celestial bodies may lead to unpredictable unexpected situations, so Xinyuan is very cautious in sailing and never approaching areas that may appear dangerous for safety reasons. This affects the efficiency of detection.
However, Ye Fei believes that it is good to view more than 20 stars a day. More importantly, half of the stars that have been viewed have heavy element planets. Half of the total number of them have mining conditions!
This result was not only beyond Ye Fei and others' expectations, but also beyond the prediction of Base Star. When Xinyuan was cheering and continuing to work hard, Base Star almost held a cocktail party to celebrate.
Ye Fei has foreseen that m67 will become an extremely huge industrial base in the near future, and will continuously provide astronomical mineral resources to mankind. The warships on the production line will penetrate into the portal like water, and the days will be not far away when they arrive at the base star!
At the critical moment, the base star also issued a new order to Ye Fei, requiring Ye Fei not only to explore the star distribution of the star cluster, but also to understand the mineral distribution of the star cluster, laying a solid foundation for the next large-scale development!
To this end, the headquarters also seconded four warships from the Base Star Army, rushed to m67 through the teleportation ship of the Xinyuan, and carried out subsequent detection work under Ye Fei's command.
With great enthusiasm, the fleet led by Xinyuan was divided into five groups and continued to be in the mission.
However, the luck of Xinyuan seemed to have been used up, and there were no new discoveries for several hours. The discoveries of other warships were not very good. It was not until around 16:00 pm that two earth-like planets were found near a white dwarf.
At this time, everyone on Xinyuan had been depressed by the previous continuous disappointment. Except for Xia Zhuoyan who was analyzing the elemental composition of the two planets, everyone looked listless.
As soon as the analysis result was concluded, Xia Zhuoyan suddenly shouted: "Boss, it's rare earth, there are rare earths here!"
Everyone woke up as if they were poured with cold water. Ye Fei asked in surprise: "How much reserve?" Rare earths are known as industrial MSG. Although it is an important strategic resource, the amount is not very large.
Rare earth elements have not reserved a lot on the earth, but after hundreds of years of development, not many still have mining value. However, Yunzhou Star and Blue Light Star have not found large-scale reserves at all.
However, the proven reserves on Venus are not small. Although they cannot be developed due to environmental concerns, they can fully meet the needs of the Republic for a long time in the future. It seems... there is no need to be so excited about the discovery of rare earths, right?
Xia Zhuoyan drew a considerable range on the two planets: "The reserves of this planet are 4.2%, and the reserves of the second planet are 8%!"
"How many?" Ye Fei almost thought there was something wrong with his ears, "Are you right?"
"Unless the probe is wrong," said Xia Zhuoyan. "The proportion of heavy elements of these two planets is higher than any planet we have known before, and rare earths are just a part of it."
If there are too many heavy elements on a planet, it is not suitable for living organisms to survive, but such a planet can become the most important mineral base for scientific and technological civilization!
"So that's it. I said, I thought these two planets had no other resources except rare earths." Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief and marked the two planets on the star map, marking the two planets into the sequence of serving as the core of the industrial zone and prioritizing the portal.
At present, there are only these two planets on this list, but Ye Fei feels it is difficult to find a target with better conditions than these two planets.
Both planets have no water and no atmosphere, and the dark brown surface is directly exposed. It is estimated that these two planets did not look like this. It is likely that the supernova exploded and exposed the appearance of the deep underground.
"Boss, why do I feel something is wrong?" Yi Qi said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Ye Fei was stunned.
"Here!" Yi Qi pointed to a point on the screen.
"Zoom in!" Ye Fei said.
Xia Zhuoyan immediately enlarged the position that Yi Qi pointed out until the clear planetary surface was covered with the screen.
Chapter completed!
