On the huge airfield, 22 people, including Wu Renjie, stood in two rows, and in front of them, Qin Yi seemed to be stunned.

But soon, Qin Yi came back to his senses, thought about it, and said slowly.

"Your trip to the asteroid belt this time can be regarded as a great progress in the development of our human civilization and an important step for our human beings to move towards the starry universe."

"The most important thing in this mission is to conduct sea trials of the 'Qinglong' spacecraft, and at the same time investigate the asteroid belt of the solar system to lay the foundation for later work."

"As for the mining of asteroids, it is a relatively secondary task, as long as you can come back safely, nothing else matters."

"Of course, I'm not a stingy boss, and I'll give you 5% of the asteroids mined this time as a reward."

"I wish you all a smooth journey~"

Originally, there were a lot of things to say, but Qin Yi thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate, so in the end, he still came up with the old routine and told them very clearly that this time the task was fame and fortune, as long as they completed the task well, not only could they write their names into history, but more importantly, they could also get incomparably rich rewards.

5% does not seem to be much, but it also depends on the base, you must know that an asteroid is often hundreds of millions of tons, and how much is this hundreds of millions of tons of asteroid worth, just calculate it to know that it is definitely an astronomical amount.

"Departure~"

Qin Yi finished practicing it for everyone, and Wu Renjie didn't stop at all, and walked towards an anti-gravity spaceship with his team members.

Soon, the spaceship slowly lifted into the air, and disappeared from the field of vision of Qin Yi and the others in the blink of an eye.

In the outer space of the earth, the hatch of the 'Qinglong' spacecraft is slowly closing, and it has completed the supply of materials and energy, and it can set off at any time.

The spaceship that Wu Renjie and the others were riding slowly flew over and began to dock with the 'Qinglong' spaceship.

Half an hour later, Wu Renjie's team officially took over the 'Blue Dragon' spacecraft and began to do the final inspection of everything on the spacecraft.

"Energy is normal~"

"The communication signal is normal~"

"The engine is normal~"

"Supplies completed~"

“……”

In the control and command center of the 'Qinglong' spaceship, Wu Renjie listened to the reports one after another, and looked at the beautiful planet in the void outside the window.

The blue planet is constantly exuding the incomparably warm brilliance of life, like a blue gem inlaid in the dark void, so dazzling, beautiful and intoxicating, making people reluctant to give up.

Wu Renjie was still a little sentimental at the thought of leaving the earth for up to 3 months this time, and this time, their trip would be the farthest trip ever made by mankind, going to an asteroid belt nearly 2 astronomical units away.

"Captain, it's time to go~"

Liao Fanghong, the deputy of the 'Qinglong' spaceship, walked over and reminded gently.

"Hmm~"

"Ground command center, Qinglong requests departure~"

"Request approval, permission to go, have a nice trip~"

"Departure~"

Having received an order from the ground control command center, Wu Renjie gave the order to set off.

With Wu Renjie's order, the second-generation anti-gravity engine of the 'Qinglong' spacecraft began to start, and a vibration came from the tail of the spacecraft, which made people can't help but cling to the space chair.

The second-generation anti-gravity engine was very powerful, and the 'Qinglong' spacecraft flying around the earth soon broke away from the earth's orbit and began to move in the direction of the asteroid belt.

"Speed 20 km/s~"

"30 km/s~"

"40 km/s~"

Wu Renjie was tied to the space chair, his eyes staring at the data displayed on the monitor, feeling the vibration of the spacecraft and the huge pressure brought by acceleration.

The power is so powerful that the speed of the 'Blue Dragon' spacecraft is constantly increasing, getting faster and faster, and it is flying towards the asteroid belt.

"The speed is 50 kilometers per second, the coordinates are X23231, Y99882, Z233678, and the distance from the earth is 400,000 kilometers~"

"Communication is normal ~ Life support system is normal ~ Energy remaining 90% ~ "

In Wu Renjie's mind, all the data about the spaceship were displayed, and the only command he needed to give now was to accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again.

This journey is so far away that even at a speed of 50 kilometers per second, it would take more than one month to reach the asteroid belt, and if the distance is farther, more than 200 million kilometers, it will take two months to arrive.

Therefore, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin, who are responsible for positioning and navigation, are very busy at this time, and they need to calculate the appropriate position for the spacecraft to arrive at the asteroid belt, and what speed to fly at to reduce time and energy consumption as much as possible.

This not only takes into account the position, speed, direction, mass, etc. of the spacecraft, but also the position and speed of the earth, you must know that the earth is moving around the sun at a speed of tens of kilometers per second all the time, and the most important thing is that these data are constantly changing, so the work pressure of this part is still very large.

At this time, the spacecraft has just set off for a short time, and it does not take much to adjust the angle and direction, and the energy consumed is very small, so at this time, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin, two astronomical scientists, must control the supercomputer on the spacecraft to continuously calculate the spacecraft's route, energy consumption, position to the asteroid belt, the Earth's orbit, position, and so on.

"Adjust the direction by 1.21 degrees and start the left wing auxiliary engine."

Taking advantage of the fact that adjusting the direction and position is more energy-saving, Wu Renjie and the others did not hesitate, and kept in touch with the command center, the supercomputer continued to simulate various possibilities, and at the same time, the spacecraft was constantly modifying the direction and so on.

The direction of the spacecraft is the same as the direction of the earth's revolution, and the purpose is naturally to save the distance when returning home, and fly in advance to the front of the earth's forward orbit.

"The speed is 80.23 kilometers per second, the direction is adjusted, turn off the engine, and start doing inertial flight!"

A few days later, under the continuous acceleration of the second-generation anti-gravity engine, the speed of the spacecraft has reached a speed of 80 kilometers per second, this speed is a speed finally reached by Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin and many scientists here in the Earth Control Center.

If the speed is too slow, it will take a long time to reach the small zone, and you may miss the closest distance to Earth, and it will be very troublesome to return to Earth, and you may even have to wait another year.

The engines were turned off, the direction had been finalized, and there was nothing left to do, but the 22 people on the 'Blue Dragon' spacecraft could easily exercise, contact their families on this side of the earth through virtual machines, read, study, play games, etc., which was the easiest time.

Of course, this kind of relaxation is only relative, the spaceship flies in the void, with the naked eye, it does not seem to have any changes, as if it is quietly suspended in the void, and only through the radar on the spacecraft, laser rangefinder, redshift rangefinder, quantum radar, etc., the massive planets in the solar system can be known that the spacecraft is constantly flying towards the outer periphery of the solar system.

This long tour is very boring and boring, and in addition, for their own health, astronauts need to exercise for at least 4 hours a day.

Exercising in space is not as simple as the ground, they need to pedal a specially designed bicycle, which is very hard, requires pulling, etc., to exercise every important bone in the body, so as not to let the calcium in the bones be lost, otherwise once they return to the earth, they will be paralyzed for life.

In addition, the scenery in the starry sky seems to be set in stone forever, and you can only look back in the direction of the earth, which is getting smaller and smaller until you can't see the existence of the earth with the naked eye, and can only be observed through a telescope.

Fortunately, there is quantum communication technology, because quantum communication technology uses quantum entanglement state, so theoretically speaking, quantum communication technology is a communication technology that ignores distance.

No matter how far away they are, they can communicate in real time, and this time, scientists have also tested whether quantum communication is the same as theoretical inference, truly regardless of distance for communication.

The "Qinglong" spacecraft not only has quantum communication, but also traditional electromagnetic wave communication, which uses electromagnetic waves, and the speed of electromagnetic waves in space is the speed of light.

Through the time difference between the two communication technologies, we can know whether this quantum communication technology really ignores the distance and can communicate in real time no matter how far apart.

With quantum communication technology, the crew of the 'Blue Dragon' spacecraft can also connect to the virtual network on this side of the earth, and meet their families every day in the virtual world, play virtual games, study, etc.

In about 15 days, the Qinglong spacecraft flew through the orbit of Mars, which has an average distance of 1.52 AU from the Sun, while the asteroid belt has a position of almost 2.17-3.64 AU from the Sun.

It has flown through the orbit of Mars, which means that the 'Qinglong' spacecraft is very close to the asteroid belt where it is the destination of this trip, and it only needs to fly for about half a month, and it will almost reach the asteroid belt.
