433: Chapter 432 The Luan Bird Space Mothership, its First Interstellar Mission!

"Everyone should calm down first; don't get happy too early."

"We currently only have the report sent back by the first Xuan-Nu Formation, and it's just a superficial exploration report."

"Aside from proving that the Asteroid Belt indeed has Vibranium ore reserves, it doesn't say much for now."

"As you all know."

"The asteroid families in the Asteroid Belt are regions formed by the fragmentation and dispersion of dwarf planets."

"Perhaps we were lucky, and the dwarf planet that formed the Flora Asteroid Family happened to be a mineral star, but we have no way of judging the Vibranium reserves of the other asteroid families for now."

"It won't be too late to celebrate after the other detachments reach their respective asteroid family regions and ascertain their reserves."

Chief Designer Bai Yannian, who had been looking down at the report the whole time,

Suddenly looked up,

And spoke seriously to everyone around him.

"The most important issue now is:"

"How to mine it!"

"I suggest you all take a serious look at another Vibranium mining safety report sent back by the technicians of the First Detachment!"

"It's fair to say that relying solely on the ten Space Force armored soldiers from the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet formation, there's no way to ensure safety."

"Perhaps, only by sending the Luan-niao Aerospace Mothership over will Vibranium mining be possible!"

After Chief Designer Bai Yannian's reminder,

The others also calmed down quite a bit.

One after another, they focused their attention on the other seemingly unimportant safety report.

After everyone had finished reading,

Many people fell directly into silence.

"..."

General Yun Feijie's brow furrowed into a deep frown.

"Ultra-high frequency celestial collisions, reaching an average of 23 times per minute!..."

"The energy generated by each collision is at least at the level of a small Mushroom Bomb explosion!..."

"Some occasional large-scale celestial collisions generate energy that can even reach 10 times the level of a Hydrogen Mushroom Bomb explosion!..."

"The main thing is the ejecta produced by these collisions; the density is even more terrifying than shotgun coverage. How can soldiers go down to perform mining missions?..."

"Furthermore, the average radiation value in the region far exceeds estimates. It's impossible to determine if there are ultra-high radiation zones that exceed the anti-radiation performance of the second-generation Kunlun Armor..."

"There are actually over 100 locations where the temperature drop exceeds 1,000 degrees Celsius!..."

"Gravity fluctuations in the region occur every second, which will also have a huge impact on performing mining missions..."

"This is just..."

"The meal the Heavens have bestowed upon our Huaxia is indeed difficult to swallow!"

The others also had their brows tightly knit.

With this level of danger,

If they really sent the armored soldiers of the Xuan-Nu detachment to mine Vibranium,

It would likely be a narrow escape from death.

The number of sacrifices would inevitably far exceed the Space Force Headquarters' previous estimate of no more than 20%.

This was absolutely unacceptable!

Even if the Luan Niao Mothership was sent over,

The mining difficulty would still be extremely high.

At most, the safety would be a bit higher.

"Precisely because the mining mission is extremely dangerous, the First Detachment could only fly on the edge of the Flora Asteroid Family, not daring to go deep inside."

"However..."

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang, who was in charge of the command, introduced,

"Interestingly,"

"All along the edge of the asteroid family, they picked up Vibranium ore that had been thrown out from within the region."

"So far, they've picked up nearly 1 ton of Vibranium ore, which is more than the Vibranium we've mined on the moon."

Hearing this,

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

Picking up scraps on the periphery could yield one-tenth of the moon's Vibranium reserves.

That was truly something...

"Comrade Lin Mo, we don't understand technical matters."

"Give us the word."

"For this highest-level combat mission, all orders will follow your command."

General Yun Feijie turned and said.

The others also turned their eyes toward Lin Mo.

Lin Mo didn't hesitate.

He directly gave orders to the high-level officials in the command center.

"Eat one bite at a time, and mining must be planned for the long term."

"First."

"Regarding the First Detachment's mining combat mission into the interior of the asteroid family, the danger level has far exceeded expectations, so it is to be canceled immediately."

"However, while ensuring safety, continue to pick up scattered Vibranium ore in the peripheral areas for a mission period of 30 days, then return immediately."

"After the other detachments arrive at their respective locations, they can act according to the actual situation, referring to the new mission requirements of the First Detachment."

Having said this,

Lin Mo paused slightly.

Others didn't know the distribution and reserves of Vibranium ore in the Asteroid Belt,

But in his system,

It had long been displayed clearly!

To climb the technology tree, technology isn't the primary productivity—materials are.

Relying solely on that bit of Vibranium ore on the moon to catch up with the technological progress of the Trisolaran Civilization in a few decades is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

With this in mind,

Lin Mo gave orders again.

"Second."

"Based on this exploration report and combined with the impact points of Vibranium craters on the moon, I have reason to believe that the distribution of Vibranium in the Asteroid Belt is relatively uniform."

"No time to lose!"

"Immediately dispatch the Luan-niao Aerospace Mothership to the largest dwarf planet in the Asteroid Belt."

"Ceres!"

"..."
