370: Chapter 369 The Nation's Destiny Will Surely Prosper

To give everyone a clearer understanding of the Asteroid Belt, Academician Huang Lingmin had the staff turn on the holographic projection device equipped in the large laboratory.

Logging in with his personal credentials to the internal network of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he loaded the operational model of the Solar System and projected it into mid-air.

"The distance between the Asteroid Belt and the Sun is at least 400 million kilometers at its closest point, and reaches 680 million kilometers at its farthest point."

Looking at the three-dimensional model of the Asteroid Belt, which resembled a donut, Academician Lan Mingcheng frowned slightly.

"Such a long distance."

"Given the current flight performance of our Xuan Nu Aerospace Fighter, if we wanted to send a formation of Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet to the Asteroid Belt for exploration and mining missions, excluding acceleration and deceleration factors, a round trip would take at least nearly half a year!"

"Furthermore, the communication delay to maintain contact with Blue Star would reach 23 minutes!"

Academician Huang Lingmin nodded.

"Yes."

"To exploit the Asteroid Belt of the Solar System, we must make the most thorough preparations and plans."

"Normally, to mine the mineral resources in the Asteroid Belt, technologies such as remote sensing detection, precision landing, sample collection, and drilling extraction are indispensable."

"At the same time, the environment inside the Asteroid Belt is extremely harsh, with widespread extreme conditions such as sharp temperature cliffs, cosmic radiation, gravitational fluctuations, and meteorite impacts. Ensuring the safety of the exploration team is also a top priority."

"The good news is that our Xuan Nu Aerospace Fighter and Kunlun Generation II Exoskeleton Armor have extremely superior performance."

"They should be sufficient to undertake this extremely complex and challenging task."

After Academician Huang Lingmin finished speaking, those present began to chime in one after another, joining the discussion to refine the specific plan for mining the Asteroid Belt.

To avoid interrupting everyone's train of thought, the logistics staff, being very observant, went to the conference room and brought chairs over so that everyone could sit and discuss.

"Chief Designer Lin, what do you think of this plan? Do you have any opinions?"

Seeing that Lin Mo had been listening with a smile and had not spoken, Academician Lan Mingcheng couldn't help but ask.

"This plan is very good; I am just thinking about some other issues."

Lin Mo shook his head and said with a smile.

"You all continue the discussion; don't worry about me."

"I have been listening, and if there are any problems, I will naturally bring them up."

Hearing this, Academician Lan Mingcheng felt relieved and continued to join the heated discussion.

For the rest of the time, Lin Mo remained an observer and did not guide or direct the direction of everyone's discussion as he had in the past.

Once the train of thought was opened, what followed was merely a choice of paths.

Even if the path was not optimal, for China, which already possessed hundreds of tons of Ripple Alloy, wanting to mine the resources in the Asteroid Belt was merely a matter of time and efficiency.

Of course, this was not the reason why Lin Mo did not provide specific guidance to everyone.

Through the Ripple Alloy, Lin Mo thought very, very far ahead.

"If I hadn't transmigrated to this parallel world..." Lin Mo thought silently to himself.

"What would China in this world have become?"

If he hadn't arrived, China's scientific and technological strength would certainly not have advanced so quickly to a level far ahead of the rest of the world, enough to crush the globe.

The Eagle, Japan, and the Western Alliance organization would not have collapsed and disintegrated so rapidly.

But... even without his arrival, following the established development line of this world, China's path to rise might have been tortuous, but it seemed to be an inevitable event!

You must know that before Lin Mo, China had always treated the manned lunar landing project as its top priority.

Furthermore, it had specifically set a goal to complete the manned lunar landing before 2030.

The key point is this: half a year ago, when the Xuan Nu Aerospace Fighter executed its first manned lunar landing mission, its primary landing site had already been determined by China decades ago!

It can be said that as long as China could achieve a manned lunar landing, the discovery of Vibranium ore would 100% happen!

And once they had the Vibranium ore, the bigwigs in China's materials science community might not have had such good luck to develop the Ripple Alloy again, but wanting to use it to develop other alloys with superior performance was obviously also something that would inevitably happen.

The more Lin Mo thought about it, the more terrifying he felt.

"Because China is covered with quantum blind zones and will not be interfered with by the Trisolaran Sophon, particle collision experiments can be carried out normally, and scientific development will not stagnate..."

"Coupled with the assistance of Vibranium, wanting to defeat the Trisolaran Fleet and break through into the vast Milky Way is not impossible..."

"No, it is inevitable!"

"Even if we can't win, relying on Vibranium to build a starship civilization and drift through the stars will still allow us to sow the seeds of Chinese civilization into the universe..."

Before this, China possessed over 95% of the world's rare metal resources.

Lin Mo had felt it was very strange, but because there were no clues to connect it, he hadn't thought about it in detail.

However, the series of events that have happened recently, including the quantum blind zones, Vibranium resources, Ripple Alloy, and so on, finally made Lin Mo confirm one thing.

In the dark, it seems there really is a great hand controlling everything!
