When the time comes, the astronauts will only need to take the finished platinum ingots back, which is extremely convenient.
The astronauts prepared the work very quickly, finishing it in half a day.
In the afternoon, it is time to officially mine the platinum mine, and soon the astronauts will be able to see the finished platinum.
They plan to conduct a small-scale mining operation next year to try to smelt out a piece of finished platinum, which will be a souvenir of their first official day of mining.
This means that the mine has officially started construction, and large amounts of platinum will be mined continuously in the future.
Even Jiang Cheng stayed in the command hall and watched the entire platinum mining process.
This afternoon's small-scale mining operation has a very special meaning for Jiang Cheng.
If platinum is successfully mined next, it will prove that Mars can bring benefits to Jiang Cheng.
This is the first time that the development of Mars has brought benefits to Jiang Cheng, but it is of great commemorative significance.
So far, Jiang Cheng has invested tens of billions in the Mars project.
But there is basically no return on this money. They are all pure investments with no returns at all.
It can be said that all the money was thrown into the water, and it was a complete loss-making business.
But once platinum begins to be produced on Mars, the situation will slowly begin to improve.
Although Jiang Cheng cannot yet make a lot of money by mining on Mars, it is a good start.
At least this time Jiang Cheng could see some money back, even if it wasn't much it was still pretty good.
Jiang Cheng believes that as the development level of Suiruo Mars increases, the more benefits he can get from it.
The Mars project is still in the investment stage, and it is far from time to reap the fruits.
However, when Mars is fully developed, Jiang Cheng will probably be rewarded hundreds of times in return.
Because in the future Jiang Cheng is very likely to control everything on Mars and make Mars his private property.
Jiang Cheng felt very excited when he thought about having his own planet.
Now only Jiang Cheng can travel between Earth and Mars, and the only base on Mars belongs to Jiang Cheng.
It can be said that Jiang Cheng has taken control of the most critical thing on Mars, namely transportation and the base.
When this Mars base slowly expands into a city, Jiang Cheng's influence will not decline at all.
When the time comes, Mars will probably have the final say with Jiang Cheng, and no one else will be able to restrict him at all.
It can be said that Mars is Jiang Cheng's own territory now. Jiang Cheng's control over Mars will only become stronger and stronger in the future, and no one will be able to compete with him in the future.
Until now, only Jiang Cheng has the ability to send people to Mars. People from other countries can only watch Jiang Cheng develop Mars, but they can't do anything themselves.
If one day humans officially begin to immigrate to Mars, then Jiang Cheng will be the supreme leader of Mars and will have absolute control over everything on Mars.
Every time Jiang Cheng thinks that he might be able to control Mars in the future
I feel that it is not a waste to pay so much.
Now the Mars project only cost him tens of billions, which is nothing compared to the ownership of Mars.
Even if Jiang Cheng spends hundreds of billions on this project, it is still worth it.
After all, all the money was spent on building Mars, and Mars belongs to Jiang Cheng in the future.
In order to make his own planet better in the future, Jiang Cheng decided to continue working hard to develop Mars and strive to see the time of Mars immigration come earlier.
Of course, when Jiang Cheng was thinking about the future, he did not forget about the present.
(ccd) Although the future will be wonderful, it will all happen in the future. It is more practical to grasp the present moment.
Jiang Cheng was now looking at the big screen in front of him. There was a busy scene on the big screen.
There are many mining robots working hard to dig out all the platinum ores underground.
There are also some auxiliary robots responsible for transportation, delivering the mined ore to the integrated smelting and forging equipment.
After the coarse ore is obtained in the integrated smelting and forging equipment, finishing processing begins immediately.
First, this equipment must purify platinum ore, and then it can carry out smelting work.
In the end, what this equipment produces is the final product, which is the platinum Jiang Cheng needs.
However, the finished product is not out yet, and it will take some time to see the final harvest.
The entire platinum mine is busy and busy, and everything appears to be very orderly.
Each equipment and robot is responsible for its own work, and the astronauts are also busy with mine planning.
They have been quite busy these days, and they will have to wait until things stabilize here before they can relax.
In fact, it looks the same whether or not there are astronauts in the mine. Robots can complete all the work.
Astronauts are very precious resources, and it is impossible for them to keep mining.
But today is approaching the first day of mining at the mine, and astronauts are coming to plan the subsequent mining route.
After everything is planned in the past few days, they don't need to continue coming here.
By then, robots and fully automatic equipment will complete all the work, and they will only need to stay in the base to receive the goods.
Jiang Cheng has always been concerned about the progress of the mining site, waiting for the final harvest.
The astronauts didn't let Jiang Cheng wait too long. After a while, a lot of ore was mined.
These ores were enough to smelt a platinum ingot, so an astronaut pressed the button on the device to officially start the smelting and forging work.
The integrated melting and forging equipment is very convenient, and all the work was completed in a short time.
A dazzling metal ingot appeared on the transmission track of the equipment.
Jiang Cheng looked at the beautiful piece of metal that appeared on the display screen, and its silver-white appearance was so beautiful.
The gleaming metal ingot in front of him was a very pure platinum key.
This platinum ingot is the first result of human mining on extraterrestrial land, and it is also Jiang Cheng's first gain in the space program.
Today can be said to be Jiang Cheng's harvest time, and it is also a day worth remembering.
Soon an astronaut walked to the front of the track and picked up the platinum ingot on it.
Although this piece of platinum is not very big, its weight is not light at all.
The density of platinum is still very high. A small piece of platinum weighs more than ten kilograms.
The astronaut carefully collected the piece of platinum and prepared to send it back to the earth.
This first piece of platinum ingot is very memorable. It is the first time that humans have commercialized mining on extraterrestrial planets.
The iron ore mined when building the base was only local materials, and it cannot be said to be a commercial mining behavior.
It can be said that Jiang Cheng has created a new era this time, and humans will be able to make money from mining on extraterrestrials.
