Chapter 640: Mining No. 1, shocking the world (4k)



Well, Xia Yu couldn't refute it. Current technology really couldn't make the extravehicular suit so light. The key point was, if he used a thin film space suit, wouldn't it look even more fake?

Scrolling through netizens' comments, Xia Yu discovered that someone had acted quickly and had photoshopped some celebrities next to himself.

Well, even a wealthy person can’t stop netizens from making fun of him. He can’t send a lawyer’s letter to someone because of this, right?

"Buzz~Buzz~~"

The phone vibrated. It was Xiao Jiang calling from Earth.

"Senior, have you been to the moon?"

No way, my Xiao Jiang is not that stupid, right?

"Just kidding, I saw it on the news. My dad has been praising you all night, so I wanted to give you a call."

OK, so you are this kind of person, Xiao Jiang. It turns out all my love for you was in vain.

"Uncle praised me? How did he praise me?"

"I want to praise your intelligence. You are able to grasp the future market and achieve things that others dare not sit or even think about."

Jiang Baiying was in a good mood. Her father kept praising her senior, which made her feel proud. At least her father had never praised her like that before.

"It's not that good. This project cannot be completed by me alone. It requires everyone's help."

Xia Yu is habitually modest, but Jiang Baiying doesn't know him yet!

"Senior, don't be so modest. I know everything. I will stand with you no matter what."

After hearing this, Xia Yu felt very touched. Xiao Jiang was still his Xiao Jiang and had never changed since they met.

"Well, we must be together!"

Even though they are thousands of miles apart, the two people's hearts are connected at this moment.

Xiao Jiang should be able to forgive him, right?

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu came to the main control room and controlled the spacecraft to take off and head towards the back of the moon.

The moon always faces the earth with its front side. It was not until the launch of the first lunar satellite that humans unveiled the mystery of the moon's back side.

Yutu-2 is also on the far side of the moon, but judging by the time, it should be dormant now, making it a good opportunity to go over and take a photo.

The moon has no atmosphere, and the spacecraft travels as fast as in space. Xia Yu soon arrived at the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the back of the moon.

Wow, this is Xia Yu’s third visit to Antarctica, but there is no ice or snow here.

According to the data released by the Yutu-2 exploration, this basin contains deep materials mainly composed of olivine and low-calcium pyroxene.

Peridot is also a gemstone. Apart from its low hardness and cheapness, it is also very beautiful to look at. With the attitude of "since I'm here, I won't go back empty-handed", Xia Yu plans to find some gem-grade peridot and make it into gifts for his senior and Xiao Jiang.

As he searched, he found a suitable target, and two extra-large pieces of peridot rough stones were moved onto the spacecraft.

Gambling on stones requires a pair of X-ray eyes. To find minerals, Xia Yu only needs to use the mining detector on the Prometheus. After all, it is a heavy exploration spacecraft, and all the gems hidden under the rocks can be seen at a glance.

According to the perspective drawing of the three-dimensional projection, he used a laser welder to cut off the edges and corners, and finally polished out the peridot inside.

The olive green, which represents health, looks very beautiful under the light. Remember, this is still a semi-finished product without cutting.

Xia Yu placed this gem-grade peridot on the electronic scale, and the weight he measured was eye-opening.

1386.80 carats!

Wow, according to the information he looked up, gem-grade peridots over 5 carats are worthy of collection, and those over 10 carats are extremely valuable. However, the largest peridot after cutting is only 311.80 carats.

The largest olivine on Earth today is just a fraction of this lunar olivine. Even though it will lose some weight after cutting, it is still amazing.

What about the other piece?

After searching for a long time, I found that there were actually more than just these two rough stones. It’s just that the peridots in the other rough stones were too small, and these two were the largest.

The piece you cut first is smaller, the other piece is the big one.

Xia Yu carefully cut the raw stone and polished off all the attached rock particles. The color and clarity were both top-notch. Now the most important thing was the weight.

Xia Yu placed it on a high-precision electronic scale, and the answer was displayed instantly.

2012.64 carats!

It really deserves to be the moon. The peridot here is as good as the one found on gold ke La. It cannot be compared with the ones on Earth. Senior and Xiao Jiang will definitely like it.

But the question also arises, who should get the big one and who should get the small one?

It is difficult to do this justice, unless more than 700 carats are cut off from the 2,000-carat piece, but that would be a waste of resources.

Xia Yu thought about it and had an answer in his mind: give the big one to Xiao Jiang and the small one to the senior sister.

The senior sister already has an emerald bracelet, and she is older, so he will marry her first in the future. It is better for him to give Xiao Jiang more in the gift.

Of course, the two of them will always be equal in Xia Yu's heart. After all, he has only liked these two girls. As for the others, he was just greedy for their bodies and had no interest in understanding their souls.

Xia Yu is the only one who can describe scum in such a refreshing and refined way, but considering that he is so honest, he shouldn't be stabbed, right?

"Mr. Xia, the spacecraft is ready and can take off at any time."

Walter came to report.

"Then take off. We're done. Let's go back to Earth now."

Xia Yu put the two gems into the space and went to the bridge with Walter.

The Prometheus engine ignited, and the powerful kinetic energy released pushed the spacecraft away from the moon and flew rapidly towards the mother planet.

When passing over the North Pole, Xia Yu wanted to salvage the XXI-class U-boat, but the full load displacement of 2,100 tons was equivalent to 2,100 cubic meters of storage space.
