For the first time, the magnificent rings of Saturn appeared directly in front of the human eye.

And to really stand on such a spatial scale to look at it, you can feel the suffocating beauty.

In the past few days, many people have stood on the side of the small viewing park every day, watching Saturn getting closer and closer.

Xie Yinran muttered, "How can it be so bright?"

Gu Song knew that she was asking about Saturn's rings, and replied with a smile: "Saturn's rings are basically ice, and they have a high reflectivity to sunlight, so they are very bright when they look at it." ”

"Is the ice delicious?" Gu Yuxing looked up and asked curiously.

Xie Yinran pulled her face, and then sighed: "It's really like a diamond ring, spotless......"

Gu Song chuckled: "How can it be spotless, there is still some dust and blackness." Saturn's rings are supposed to have been formed by a shattered ice-shelled star, and they are not very long ago. If we humans were intelligent beings born 100 million years later on Earth, we would not see it. Or in a few years, Saturn's rings will be black and not as wide as they are now. ”

Xie Yinran gave him a blank look: "Disappointing!"

Gu Song's face straightened, and he said affectionately: "I give you this unique ring!"

There were more and more people coming to the small park to view the scenery, Xie Yinran gritted his teeth and pinched his waist.

Gu Song laughed: "You take her to play here, I'll go to the bridge." ”

Xie Yinran took the little guy's hand, Gu Song rubbed Gu Yuxing's head, and walked towards the bridge while greeting others with a smile.

After more than a year of trekking, I finally came here.

……

Now that you are here in Saturn, you naturally have to throw out a bunch of probes.

Flint Space City has its own destination: Titan.

But the probes are ready to go now.

"The First Voyage of the Solar System" began to broadcast the most shocking chapter.

Flint Space City takes advantage of Saturn's gravitational pull to orbit around and slow down.

The rings of Saturn, captured from the top-down view of Flint Space City, are intertwined with images from probes cruising Saturn's troposphere.

This is the most spectacular halo structure in the solar system.

Looking down, there is a group of ice particles that stretches for hundreds of thousands of kilometers as far as the eye can see.

The descent, from the scale of the planet, is as thin as a cicada's wings and crystal clear.

Looking up, there are white rings of ice towering high, covering the sky, and the halos illuminate everything around them.

When the probe flies past Saturn's rings and between Saturn, it is as if it is passing through one of the most spectacular doors in the stars.

If you look closely, you can see that there are 6 crescents hanging in the sky at the same time.

The sun is scattered by the mist, and even a miralic landscape appears, as if there were four suns in the distance.

The location of the probe also has the largest number of winds in the entire solar system, 1,500 kilometers per hour.

There is nothing more exciting than the actual beauty of the starry sky.

From Titan inside, the scene captured by Enceladus is no less impressive.

The feathered fountain erupts from the surface from time to time, blooming at a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour against the dark starry background, illuminated by the light of the sun and Saturn's rings, this is a magnificent fountain.

Enceladus, the second closest to Saturn, has a huge crater that occupies nearly a third of its diameter. At the edge of the annular basin is a steep mountain wall that rises to more than 4,000 meters. In the center of the annular basin, there are more than 6,000 meters of sharp edges. Not far away, Saturn stretches across the horizon.

The beauty of nature is breathtaking.

In line with the craze brought about by the flint space city, HSDA also released other spectacular scenes captured by the probe.

In the Moon's North Pole, the sun never sets on the peaks of the eternal light......

Mars is 6.5 kilometers deep and 3,000 kilometers long......

Jupiter's big red spots, big enough to lay down two Earths, spin wildly and change......

More than a year later, Earth is once again in the space boom.

But at this moment, the HSDA Council is more concerned about the orbit of Flint Space City.

After decelerating around Saturn, Flint Space City began to finely control the deceleration thrusters.

With the Good Hope event, almost no one would be worried that Flintstone Space City would not be able to enter orbit.

It has the most abundant energy, the strongest thrusters, and the strongest on-board computer and control system.

What's more, it also has the strongest captain, Gu Song, who can use a brain-computer interface to manipulate it independently.

The only thing to worry about is the bottom of the enlightenment detector.

I don't know if there's any danger, I don't know if there's a safe distance.

The flint space city approached little by little, Gu Song's heart was very calm, but the others had a heart hanging in their hearts.

Anyway, the flint space city entered the orbit of Titan in a graceful arc, and maintained a relatively stationary synchronous speed with the envoy probe and the enlightenment probe.

1000 km away from the Enlightenment Detector.

There was silence on the bridge.

After a second or two, I heard Hu Shanchuan exhale softly.

Then Zhao Hongtao stood up: "Captain, do you want to leave now?"

Gu Song looked at him and Fan Yuanbai and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Zhao Hongtao grinned: "Do I look like someone who is afraid?"

Fan Yuanbai raised his bald head: "Do I seem to be a scared person?"

Gu Song laughed: "You are like a repeater! Okay, call them and get ready to go!"

Outside the opposite airlock of the Dragon King, Zhao Xin and another older candidate seed were waiting there.

Gu Song didn't speak, and Hu Shanchuan opened his mouth and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Hu Shanchuan said solemnly: "Good luck to you!"

The big head is on the side, faithfully recording the picture.

The four of them opened the hatch and entered the airlock chamber, preparing to enter the Ying Dragon King.

According to the plan, the flint space city stayed at a safe distance first, and Gu Song did not go out first, and approached the past through the aerospace plane to explore the reality of the enlightenment probe.

Gu Song had nothing to object to such a plan, and he was not in a hurry anyway.

Hu Shanchuan followed him back to the bridge, but he became nervous again.

"The bridge, Ying Dragon King is ready to break away. ”

"Ying Dragon King, let's go!"

Gu Song gave an order, and King Ying began to start the separation procedure.

Hu Shanchuan turned his head to look, and Gu Song was extremely calm.

He let go of his hand, trying to relax. After a while, he unconsciously squeezed his fist back.

On the screen, Ying Longwang slowly flew downward.

"1000 kilometers from the Enlightenment Detector...... 900 km ...... 800 km ......"

"700 kilometers, Ying Longwang is normal, there are no other abnormalities. ”

Hu Shanchuan's fists clenched even tighter, and there were only 62 kilometers left.

"Start slowing down. Distance 686 km...... 680 km ...... 677……”

The longitudinal velocity of Ying Longwang is already negligible, and he only maintains a relatively stationary orbital velocity.

Everything is so precise.

"The distance is 658 km. Please instruct. ”

Hu Shanchuan looked at Gu Song, and there were only 40 meters left.

Gu Song said calmly: "Advance to 657.95 kilometers." ”

On the Dragon King, Fan Yuanbai, who said that he was not afraid, held his breath.

Zhao Xin's eyes were full of longing.

Zhao Hongtao gently manipulated Ying Longwang and pushed forward another 50 meters.

Quiet.

"The distance is 657.95 km, no signal received, everything is normal. ”

Gu Song's voice came immediately: "Send a signal." ”

Fan Yuanbai let out a breath and entered the command.

A very simple message was sent through.

"Civilization 42-89757 has arrived. ”

The probe was awakened 657.95 km away.

Subsequently, the signal was transmitted directly to Ying Longwang.

On the bridge, King Yinglong's communication was suddenly cut off.
