Chapter 164: Hades Hades (Second Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
In space, the Hades spacecraft is moving at a high speed of more than 150 kilometers per second, and as Hades flies through the orbit of Neptune, they are getting closer and closer to their final goal.
After nearly a year in space, Raymond. Anthony couldn't wait, he couldn't even reach Pluto in the next second. Since Doolittle reported to him that Hades was expected to arrive on Pluto in five days, Raymond Murphy had reported to him. Almost every day, Anthony asks Doolittle how far away he is from Pluto, as if he arrives a second earlier with each additional question.
The same is true today, when Doolittle just finished with Raymond. After Anthony's conversation, Hull, who was sitting on the other side, smiled at him: "What? Our boss is asking you when you'll arrive? ”
Doolittle spread his hands helplessly, although approaching Pluto was an extremely exciting thing for all the ships of the entire Hades, but Raymond. Anthony's reaction seemed to have gone too far, much to Doolittle's baffle.
"Maybe he's worried about whether he'll make it there alive." Hull casually made a joke, and Doolittle couldn't help but be amused. But none of them expected that Hull's joke was actually Raymond. Anthony's true state of mind, because after almost a year of flying, Raymond. Anthony clearly felt much older again.
The Hades has an artificial gravity system, and it also has a well-developed ecological balance circle and a comfortable environment. Anthony's cabin is no different from his home in Little Rock, and with the high-tech simulation of the scene, it almost makes people feel like they live on Earth.
However, this is only "almost", not true. No matter how realistic it is, it can't compare to the original, and the massive Hades, no matter how big, is just a spaceship. The scope of its activities is very limited. What's more, flying in space, there is a little pressure on the psychological side after all, Raymond. Although Anthony is not an ordinary person, he cannot avoid this pressure. What's more, another year has passed. No matter how well his age and physical function are maintained, he can't stop the gradual aging.
In Doolittle and Hull's view, the Hades completed the task in an instant, and the final success was firmly in their hands. The Russian spacecraft Starry no longer poses a threat to them, and a few months ago, Hades noticed that something seemed to be wrong with the starry sky, and the distance between the two began to grow longer. And now, their distance has long been beyond the definite range, and maybe the Star Sky will return long ago because of the ship's situation.
As for the Chinese spacecraft. Doolittle was very concerned from the beginning, but as time went by, the Hades did not find the location of the Chinese spacecraft at all, as if the Chinese had never launched a spacecraft, which made him strange.
"You say, where will the Chinese be now?" Thinking of this, Doolittle asked Hull.
Hull thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Can't tell. By the way, why did you suddenly remember to ask the Chinese? ”
Doolittle rested his hands behind his head. The whole person leaned deeply on the back of the chair, but his brows were slightly furrowed: "I just think it's a little strange." ”
"Strange?"
Doolittle pursed his lips and said, "It's just a feeling, and this feeling makes me very uncomfortable." The Chinese's spacecraft has not been under our surveillance since the beginning, and now we don't know where it went, Hull, isn't it strange to you? ”
Helhaha laughed, "I said Doolittle my old friend." Have you been in space for too long and have you become nervous? I admit that the Chinese are a bit mysterious, but so what? Now that we are about to reach the orbit of Pluto, and even throw the Russians far away, what does the Chinese have to do with us no matter how mysterious they are. Okay old friend, now let's think about what to do when we reach our goal. As for the Chinese, hehe, maybe they just went around in space and went back. ”
Hull's words made Doolittle laugh dumbly, but if you think about it, Hull is not wrong, although the Chinese spacecraft lifted off directly from the earth, which made Doolittle very surprised, but as a senior astronaut in the United States, Doolittle, like all the astronauts on the Hades, has great confidence in the powerful technology of the United States.
In their opinion, the Hades is undoubtedly the best spaceship that humans can build, and the Russians are not as good as them, let alone the Chinese. As Hull said, China may only use an opportunistic technology to complete the ground lift-off, but after all, the overall technology is far inferior to the powerful United States, according to this logic, the Chinese's spacecraft may be farther away than the Russian Star, or they may have long returned due to technical problems.
Although Doolittle reluctantly persuaded himself with this reason, he still had a faint sense of unease in his heart for some reason. However, this feeling was quickly put behind him, because by this time Hades was getting closer and closer to Pluto.
The final moment is coming, and when approaching Pluto, Hades makes the same deceleration control as Vanguard, and then maneuveres the spacecraft to approach Pluto's low-Earth orbit in space to make observations of Pluto and determine the next step.
Without relying on the powerful intelligent system of Su Li of the Pioneer to assist in the operation, just using the Hades's own central computer system and the rich piloting experience of the astronauts, the Hades's deceleration was still completed perfectly. This is enough to show the skill of Captain Doolittle and his good friend Hull, and there is no doubt that they are called one of the best astronauts in the United States and the world.
"Keep an even deceleration and pay attention to the angle of the track cut!"
"Understood, balanced deceleration, cut into the track angle attention!"
Now, they are very close to Pluto, and at the current deceleration calculation, they will cut into Pluto's orbit in about 1 hour, 28 minutes and 32 seconds, and then orbit Pluto in a lunar attitude. And at this time, Raymond who couldn't hold back. Anthony personally came to the bridge.
"This is Pluto?" Sitting in a large chair specially prepared for him, Raymond. Anthony's eyes were fixed on the gray-yellow planet that was slowly turning in the universe. At this moment, Raymond. Anthony showed an indescribable look on his face, and he seemed to be dozens of years younger all of a sudden.
"Mr. Doolittle, please scan Pluto and let's see how many surprises it has." Ramon. Anthony raised his hand and pointed to Pluto, and Doolittle, who had been prepared for a long time, understood what he meant, and immediately gave the order to scan and probe the surface of Pluto.
After the command was given, the central computer of the Hades spacecraft began to work, and the scans were compiled by the computer and then gradually displayed on the screen. The shape of the entire Pluto star began to become clear from the outline, and after a while, a complete hologram of Pluto was displayed in front of everyone, and when the simulated Pluto began to rotate slowly with the combination of electrons, it showed various complex terrains such as ring-shaped mountains and canyons on its surface, and when it rotated to a certain angle, everyone present let out a burst of exclamations at the same time, even the seated Raymond. Anthony couldn't control the shock and excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but stand up. (To be continued......)
