Next to Lingxiao Space Station, the "naughty boy" is being assisted by three aerospace planes and dozens of thrusters, flying around the earth orbit.

According to common sense, a star body with such a large mass cannot fly around the earth in low-Earth orbit (compared to the moon). The biggest possibility is to land directly on the earth, become a meteor, and crash.

However, with three aerospace planes and dozens of thrusters, it can barely keep the naughty boy flying.

Dozens of machines that look like mechanical octopus are cutting on the "naughty boy". From time to time, they will hold the cut stars with tentacles and fly back to the Lingxiao Space Station behind.

There are only a dozen staff members in the space station. Like the Donghuang aerospace plane, a gravity imitation system is installed, so that technicians can walk freely in the space station without having to be in a weightless environment like other near-Earth aviation planets. Many experiments are very inconvenient to do.

Because the imitation gravity system is not weightless, some characteristics in space will not be wielded, but such an environment is more conducive to the utilization of resources on the asteroid of "naughty boy". In several processing "workshops" in the space station, the low roar of machines spreads in the artificial air environment.

Xu Xiaofeng was in the main control room of the space station, looking at the busy mechanical octopus outside through the large screen, and adjusting his instructions to mechanical octopus from time to time.

Liu Gang, deputy director of the space station next to him, pointed to the big screen and said, "According to current calculations, twenty-seven of the thirty-four thrusters will run out of energy within ten days and cannot function. The remaining seven will also stop working in fifteen to twenty days."

Xu Xiaofeng nodded slightly and said, "After all, this batch of thrusters was made temporarily. In fact, they have played their due role. Look at those mechanical octopuses, in fact, with their functions, they can directly process metal on the 'naughty boy' and process the resources on this asteroid into the alloy or metal we need. However, in order for the 'naughty boy' to fly smoothly in orbit before the thrusters run out of energy, it is better to transport them back to the space station."

"How useful are these alloys?" Although Liu Gang is an expert in aerospace, he is an amateur in metal materials.

"See?" Xu Xiaofeng pointed to one of them, dragging a large piece of star mechanical octopus, about seven or eight tons, and said: "Just like that, the alloy that can be processed can allow us to use special steel plate materials on the deck of the No. 17 aircraft carrier to increase the quality of the fuel utilization rate of the nuclear reactor we are currently using. With these catalysts, the nuclear reactor will hardly produce nuclear waste, and the energy production is more stable, and there will be almost no leakage like the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant."

"Really or false?" Although Liu Gang is an amateur, he is still very sensitive to energy. After hearing what Xu Xiaofeng said, he was surprised: "Wouldn't that mean that it will really become the era of safe nuclear energy in the future?"

"Of course!" Xu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Otherwise, what do you think we are going to get this asteroid back at such a great price? If it is an ordinary iron meteorite or a stone meteorite, there is no need to do it!" Speaking of this, Xu Xiaofeng said proudly: "This is only part of it! This meteorite contains not only energy catalysts and special metals, but also some other substances, which are very good materials. Some things have special effects when used in space flight. After all, the resources on our earth are limited, and many materials have certain limitations. These wandering stars in space are quite unique and very useful!"

"I feel more and more that Mr. Lin is a little mysterious!" Liu Gang said mysteriously: "Things are so far away, but they are the first things that the United States has seen. He knows what treasures are on it. He can also build such an advanced aerospace plane and space station to use this thing smoothly in space. It's so amazing!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xu Xiaofeng patted him: "With this idea, it's better to see how many alloys and catalysts are initially processed in the warehouse? After a while, the Donghuang space plane will come over, and at least dozens of tons have to be transported. This "naughty boy" has a very high utilization rate. If you transport it like this, it will take at least four or five days to complete it. The construction of the engineering construction on Mr. Lin has been added, so we can't let him down!"

"Don't worry!" Liu Gang turned around and walked back and said, "This space station is so advanced, all the data is reflected here. There are now more than 70 tons in the warehouse, so it's okay to transport it away. The Donghuang still flies fast, otherwise the initial processing resources will be a big burden on the space station!"

As he was talking, an aerospace plane flew up quickly and steadily connected with the space station under the control of the computer program. Then a batch of mechanical octopus immediately began to transport supplies from the cargo hold.

Xu Xiaofeng took the initiative to apply because of the application of a large number of advanced technologies. The current space station no longer requires a lot of training like before, and also requires a large number of personnel to choose. It is no exaggeration for astronauts to say that it was a million to choose, but now the conditions and standards have been greatly reduced.

Xu Xiaofeng knew that Changying Group, or Lin Dong, had ushered in a national aerospace era, at least in terms of personnel selection, that's it.

"Liu Gang, you stay here, I'll go down and take a look!" Xu Xiaofeng said to Liu Gang through the communication system: "Go and see how Mr. Lin is doing. "

"Then hurry up, wait for you to come back, I'll go down and take a look!"

"good!"

After talking to Liu Gang, Xu Xiaofeng put on his space suit and entered the space plane after passing through a series of special doors.

This space plane is specially made similar. The original crew cabin was greatly reduced and more space was used as cargo cabins.

There was no one in the command room, nor a mechanical octopus. After Xu Xiaofeng entered, he fixed himself in the driver's seat and waited for the airplane to leave.

Full of cargo, the space plane, under the control of intelligent programs, separated from the space station, circled in space for a while, and then flew towards the earth quickly.

Xu Xiaofeng turned his head and saw that the naughty boy had become bumpy like an apple that was gnawed by a child, and his size had shrunk several times, and he was no longer as good as before.

Xu Xiaofeng knew that in a few days, this "naughty boy" would become tens of millions and exist in another form.

Such actions were never dared to think about before, but now they are realized little by little in front of me.

Although "swallowing" the planet is just an asteroid, it is already an epoch-making act! 8
