The trend and enthusiasm for investing in space has finally arrived.

Countless private aerospace companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Countless capitals and funds, waving banknotes in their hands, are eager to come in and get a piece of the pie.

The sentiment of saving money for risk aversion has disappeared, and at least hundreds of trillions of hot money are ready to flow into the aerospace field.

In recent years, for Su Ming, the real estate company under his name with assets exceeding 10 billion yuan has long shifted its main business to the technology field. It has not developed new buildings for two or three years and has become a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Instead, more than 5 billion in cash flow was invested in Dark Aerospace Company's space development projects. The payback period will be up in the next five years. Based on a return rate of 1 to 3, the investment will increase in value to 15 billion yuan.

But considering that inflation has been quite serious in recent years, the actual net return should only be double.

This really couldn't satisfy Su Ming's appetite, so he had no intention of getting back the principal and interest. Instead, he called his daughter to ask if there were any better investment projects at the Dark Aerospace Company.

"Dad, you've called the right person. His Majesty Levi does have a very large plan and hopes to attract a huge amount of private funding."

"This plan is to mine a large amount of mineral resources on the Moon, and even plans to mine all of the Moon within about 100 years."

"By then, the total weight of the Moon Star is expected to be reduced by 25%, and mining equipment may be able to penetrate deep into the core of the Moon Star..."

Su Ming was shocked when he heard this.

He specifically checked online and found that the weight of the Moon is 7.35 times 10 to the 19th power tons, which is equal to 735 trillion tons. Multiplying that by 25%, doesn't that mean 183.7 trillion tons of mineral resources will be mined away?

The entire Moon Star will be hollowed out!

Moreover, the Moon is rich in various precious mineral resources.

There are 750,000 tons of helium-3 on the surface.

There are hundreds of billions of tons of iron ore.

Tens of billions of tons of titanium ore.

Total reserves of rare earth elements range from 22.5 billion to 45 billion tons.

Thorium, uranium and other minerals that can be used as nuclear fission energy are also extremely abundant.

In addition, those soil resources that are not particularly valuable but still have utility value can be transported to space cities and used for plant cultivation and growth... The entire Moon Star is full of treasures.

If the mined lunar resources are sold for only 100 yuan per ton, it would be a potential market worth 18 trillion yuan.

Economists have long predicted that the first trillionaire (star knife) on Blue Mercury in the future can only be born from the space mining industry.

So... Su Ming's heart was pounding. He saw another great opportunity to make a small profit and get a high return.

He stuttered and said:

"Um...daughter, could you please put in a few good words for your father in front of His Majesty Levi and ask us to get our Su Group to join His Majesty Levi's 'mining plan'? I plan to sell all my real estate properties and focus on space exploration!"

Speaking of this, a trace of pain flashed across Su Ming's face.

In the past two years, due to the emergence of numerous high-return trends and projects, real estate development projects with long investment cycles and low flexibility have gradually been ignored in the capital market. In order to raise working capital, countless high-quality properties have been sold or mortgaged at low prices, and overall housing prices have plummeted by more than 40%.

Real estate, which used to be a "huge reservoir of funds", has become a place where countless capitals want to withdraw. Even if some people want to speculate or buy at a low price, they find it difficult to sell it unless they sell it to those poor people who have no houses at a lower price.

This resulted in a broken capital chain, and the number of real estate speculators who lost money and had to go to the rooftops may be as high as tens of thousands, and hundreds of innocent passers-by were killed.

The value of the properties under the Su Group has also shrunk by four or five billion, so Su Ming feels regretful and heartbroken... Once technology develops explosively and reaches the level of interstellar colonization, the real estate industry will not be easy to do and may even fall into a cold winter.

"Dad, no problem. We welcome everyone's investment this time."

"However, His Majesty Levi also said that Moon Star isn't entirely covered in gold. High-value minerals are only a small portion. Ordinary Moon Star soil is worth a maximum of two to three hundred yuan per ton. After deducting costs, the profit per ton is probably only between 50 and 100 yuan."

"So, His Majesty Levi has established investment rules: one is to invest on a 'trip' basis. For each completed trip, the return is the tonnage of minerals carried multiplied by 50-100... Let's say you 'invest' in a ship with a carrying capacity of 100 tons. If everything goes smoothly and there are no unexpected events, within a six-day transport cycle, you can get a return of 5,000 to 10,000 yuan."

"Transport ships come in three sizes: 50, 100, and 200 tons. The corresponding investment amounts are 5 million, 10 million, and 20 million respectively... Let's say you invested 5 million in a small 50-ton transport ship and completed five missions per month. You could earn a return of 25,000 to 50,000... The monthly return is 0.5% to 1%."

"The annual rate of return is between 6% and 12% - this is actually a very good return. In the blue mercury, only a few industries can achieve this rate of return."

"Of course, if you have less free time, you can also choose the 'venture capital model': pledging a 100 million yuan investment fund and directly investing in a Moon Star mining vehicle equipped with a power furnace. Based on the value of the minerals mined by the mining vehicle, you will receive a corresponding return."
