Like everyone else, Kong Xingbang hurriedly pulled a thick proposal from the drawer in front of him.
The moment he opened it and saw its contents, his breath caught!
The entire project was divided into three parts.
The first consisted of mining equipment.
The automated mining equipment comprised various excavation devices.
Once the mining equipment excavated the ore, conveyor belts would carry it to the second part of the overall mining installation: the sorting equipment.
After the ore underwent detailed sorting, conveyor belts would carry it to the most critical third part.
The smelting facility.
All the ore would be smelted on the lunar surface.
One reason was to ease the burden of subsequent transportation.
After all, removing large amounts of impurities would greatly reduce the ore's weight!
The other reason was to reduce costs.
The lunar surface had no atmosphere, making it an ideal location for smelting ore!
The natural vacuum would eliminate a great deal of unnecessary expense during the smelting process!
As for the helium-3 in the Lunar Regolith, it would have a dedicated production line.
First, the excavated Lunar Regolith would be heated to over 700 degrees Celsius.
At that point, the helium-3 would separate from the Lunar Regolith.
Once it had been successfully separated, neutron adsorption film would be used to adsorb and extract the atomic helium-3.
The final step, of course, would be to transport the helium-3 resources back to Earth aboard Black Lady Series aerospace planes, for use as fuel in the Third-Generation Controlled Nuclear Fusion Device!
After reading the entire proposal, Kong Xingbang let out a long breath.
The proposal was very detailed.
Every step had been designed just right.
But that did not mean it was flawless.
On the contrary, the proposal had one fatal flaw.
It provided only a framework,
