Chapter 1284: Establishing a Mining Company
Yueqiu here and the space city have long been cooperating, and the Star Dream Ship is also being built here on Yueqiu.
The needed captains are also trained there.
Who would still complain about being close to home?
I'll just help you find a replacement.
At worst, we'll give them some compensation.
If you come to Yueqiu, I can also give you some good news.
Yang Nuomi said mysteriously.
Yang QianSong became interested.
What good news?
Yang Nuomi whispered.
The League Government is going to start controlling exploration qualifications.
And you captains have become the top priority.
Only companies with exploration qualifications can conduct asteroid mining.
Exploration qualifications will probably be issued fifty.
And mining permits will probably be issued five hundred.
Here on Yueqiu, mining rights will also be tightened.
To compensate for the loss here on Yueqiu, two hundred of those mining permits will be given to the Moon Company.
If you're interested, Aunt can use money to buy mining permits.
As for exploration qualifications, I can also get one.
By then, I'll provide resources, you provide personnel, and we'll establish a new company.
Aunt will hand over the spacecraft for you to manage.
How do you feel?
This news is very important.
Yang QianSong immediately grasped the main point.
The League Government does this to avoid blind competition, to increase related companies' profits, and to increase everyone's enthusiasm.
At the same time, it's also to reduce casualties.
Over these years, in order to explore asteroid mining technology, the losses of people and material have been huge.
Issuing qualifications is also to block this barbaric way of technological exploration.
This is a semi-monopolistic industry.
Moreover, the number of high-quality near-Earth asteroids is limited; controlling the number naturally reduces competitive pressure.
In this, there are huge profits to be made.
Whoever mines first naturally gets it.
Aunt, this matter has potential.
Near-Earth asteroids can serve as technological probes for Solar System mineral mining.
Once we have accumulated enough technology.
We can also establish a mining base on Phobos, then enter the Asteroid Belt to mine minerals.
Thus to satisfy Mars' industrial needs.
As long as we occupy the mineral resources of the Asteroid Belt.
At least it can let our company develop rapidly for two hundred years.
Perhaps in the future, we can become the mineral tycoons of Solar System.
Yang Nuomi tapped his head.
You kid, your ambition is still quite big.
Alright, since you're willing to do it, I'll start preparing.
Perhaps in the future, asteroids will also be brought under the League Government's management, and then perhaps we can truly directly purchase the exclusive mining rights to those asteroids.
That way, you'll have the chance to become a mining tycoon.
But for now, you should first calm down, make a good plan, and quickly assemble your own team.
Ambition cannot be realized just by talking; it requires action.
Your great-grandfather often said to think about problems from a strategic standpoint.
Hope you also study the strategic framework.
This way you can avoid detours.
Yang Nuomi told Yang QianSong about this, naturally also because she valued his ability.
Being able to become a captain of the Star Dream Ship already shows his ability and effort.
Being able to tow asteroids back also shows his management and command ability.
He already has the foundation for success; what he lacks is opportunity.
And she just happens to be able to provide this opportunity.
This is to fulfill Yang QianSong, and also to fulfill herself.
Mining is a very important industry; now she has money and also needs an investment direction.
Leaving money idle is not the tradition of the Yang Family.
Investing in more meaningful things is also their responsibility.
Coincidentally, the League Government wants to promote exploration and mining rights.
She has the advantage of timing, location, and people; she has taken them all.
Not doing it would be a waste.
After resupplying, Yang Qianchong again embarked on the journey to collect asteroids.
At the same time, he also began to win over the companions on the Star Dream Ship.
Meanwhile, the threat of the Mist Zone and the continual terrifying events also forced many Lanxing people to pay attention to space immigration.
Those who were previously watching now actively pour resources into the space industry.
At the same time, they also began to send their own people to emigrate.
Resources began to strongly concentrate on the great space undertaking.
This concentration is driving the rapid development of the great space undertaking.
This is also why the United Government has rolled out exploration and mining rights.
The value of the Mist Zone is further expanding.
Yingjiang somewhere, underground.
Beta also noticed the anomaly.
He originally intended to use the Mist to heavily damage the United Government Army.
But man's schemes fall short of heaven's; who knew the United Government Army would be so terrible, they didn't launch a large-scale entry into the Mist Zone to fight them, but instead, like peeling an onion, they stripped away their strength layer by layer.
Mist creatures are powerful, but without sufficient radiation they also struggle to exert their effect.
They are now too passive.
Their partners, those who once made him, are also unreliable.
They said they would destroy the United Government from within, but the result was much thunder and little rain.
He handed over much of the Mist Zone's biological technology to them.
By rights, just the zombie virus could plunge all of humanity into the abyss.
But look at the result: they not only failed to destroy the United Government from within, they actually let the United Government, through zombie virus research, develop the longevity secret medicine.
"Humans are unreliable."
"Lanxing is also unreliable."
"The best place to go now is elsewhere in the Solar System."
"So I must now strive to make the Mist creatures evolve the ability to survive in space."
"When the Mist creatures adapt to the space environment and become space organisms, perhaps we can still turn the tide."
In space there is endless radiation; even if insufficient, demand can be met by increasing area.
Thus Beta began to contact those people in the West via old‑school means, then had them gather all kinds of space technology.
In exchange, he produced more technology, such as parasites.
At the same time, Beta also began building rockets underground.
He sent out the Mist creatures' seeds.
He himself would be hard‑pressed to run.
But his devotion can.
His first goal is the Yueqiu.
If he takes root on the Yueqiu, his children can, via the Yueqiu's spacecraft, scatter the seeds throughout the Solar System.
Then slowly develop.
One day they will be able to strike back, rescue their creator, Beta, and bring him out.
By then his half‑mechanical, half‑biological body might also be able to roam in space.
Become a one‑of‑a‑kind space organism.
