"Satellite Launch~"

On the 'Qinglong' spacecraft, the spacecraft had just flown past the orbit of Mars, and Wu Renjie gave the order to launch the satellite.

As he gave the order, several small hatches opened on the huge spaceship, and the mechanical arm carried the satellites out of the warehouse, and then adjusted the angle and speed, and the satellites were launched.

The area is very empty and has nothing to detect or worth, just now, of course.

These satellites are all satellites used to explore Mars, and if there is a chance to fly into the orbit of Mars, the scientists of the Academy of Astronomical Sciences of the Academy of Galaxy Science will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Although Mars is still on the other side of the sun, and the distance between them is not known how many billions of miles, these launched satellites are also scientifically set.

The speed of these satellites is very slow, and the trajectory of the flight is also along the orbit of Mars, as long as you need to wait slowly, when Mars turns again, the auxiliary propulsion system on these satellites will start to work, propelling the satellites within the gravitational range of Mars, becoming Martian satellites, which can begin to provide a steady stream of Martian information to the Earth.

Although with the development of the interstellar space age, there are countless satellites and probes launched to various places in the solar system, but it is also good to be able to have more exploration satellites, anyway, this thing is now cheap and does not cost a few dollars.

After the launch of the Martian exploration satellite, the 'Qinglong' spacecraft quickly returned to calm, and the crew began to work on their own business again.

Some people are playing virtual games, there is the existence of quantum communication technology, in the virtual world, there is almost no difference from the earth, you can meet the same, you can play games, this has become the main way for the crew on the spaceship to pass the world.

Some people sweat hard in the gym, and everyone knows that if you want to have a healthy body after returning to Earth for a long time of three months in space, you must insist on maintaining a few hours of hard training every day.

The intensity and time of this fitness cannot be discounted in any way, because it is not for others, but for oneself, once the bone calcium in the body is gone, back to the earth, the whole person will be abolished.

The scenery outside the spaceship is unchanged, in the dark starry sky, dotted with stars, occasionally look at it will feel very beautiful, but after a long time in such an environment, the crew on the spaceship has long been tired of seeing such scenery, and they also miss the scenery on the earth even more.

Although the speed of the spacecraft at this time remained at a terrifying speed of 50 kilometers per second, the void was too vast and vast, giving people the impression that the spacecraft seemed to be stationary, staying in the void forever, without any change.

If it weren't for the fact that the spacecraft carried a variety of advanced detection instruments, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin of the Cosmonastic Science Team on the spacecraft would have to re-measure the spacecraft every day and update the data of the spacecraft, and everyone would clearly know that they were flying towards the asteroid belt little by little.

"Captain~ We're going to start slowing down the spaceship!"

After such days lasted for a few more days, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin found Wu Renjie and made suggestions to him, at this time, they were very close to the asteroid belt, and they would soon enter the range of the asteroid belt.

"Is there a new directive from the Earth Command Center?"

Wu Renjie nodded, according to the plan and itinerary, it was indeed almost time to slow down, but he still had to listen to the instructions from the Earth Command Center.

The spacecraft sails in the vast void, on the one hand, relying on the huge number of scientists on the side of the Earth Command Center to use supercomputers to carry out comprehensive calculations and analysis.

On the other hand, we can't all rely on the Earth Command Center, and the judgment of the scientists and engineers on the spacecraft is also very important, because only the people on the spacecraft can clearly know the situation in the first time and can make the most timely response.

"It's the same on this side of the earth, start to slow down~"

Liao Fanghong, the deputy of the spaceship, nodded and said.

"Start slowing down~"

Wu Renjie nodded and ordered.

The second-generation anti-gravity engine, which uses the huge gravitational pull of the star, is also the same in terms of deceleration, there is no need to install a reverse propulsion system at all, relying on the anti-gravity engine to start slowly decelerating.

"Turn on X-ray inspection, γ-ray inspection, β-ray inspection, infrared radiation detection, magnetic field detection!"

"Turn on the Quantum Matrix Radar and produce 3D stereo images!"

"Turn on the weapon system and be ready at all times."

"Launch of unmanned exploration satellites."

One order after another was issued from Wu Renjie, the asteroid belt that was about to arrive was not a warm and empty void, and it could be hit by an asteroid at any time, so the detection radar had to be turned on, and it was not turned on in order to save energy in the front.

At the same time, the weapon system is also on standby, the spaceship flies in the cosmic void, generally flying in a straight line, if you want to avoid the impact of meteorites, asteroids and change the flight trajectory, the energy consumed will be very amazing, especially when the mass of the spacecraft is larger, the greater the energy consumed.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the method of destroying meteorites and asteroids in front of them will be used to destroy them with weapons, and the 'Qinglong' spacecraft also carries the weapon of the rail cannon researched by the Galaxy Science Research Institute, and there is definitely no problem in dealing with ordinary asteroids.

The principle of the so-called rail running is actually very simple, that is, to accelerate something like a hard tungsten rod to a certain extent to hit the target, so as to achieve the effect of destroying the target.

Because the speed of the spacecraft itself is very fast, it is now tens of kilometers per second, based on this speed, the speed of the launched guide rail can be imagined, the faster the speed, the more energy it carries, enough to easily deal with ordinary asteroids.

As for the release of unmanned exploration satellites, it is to grasp the situation of a large range of void as much as possible, these exploration satellites are very cheap, one-time products, the number is relatively large, and it is also the situation of Galaxy Technology Group in order to grasp more of the solar system, so it will continue to release some unmanned exploration satellites along the way.

The crew of the spacecraft also began to get busy, starting to overhaul the spacecraft and equipment, conducting emergency drills, etc., and at the same time, they were also full of anticipation for the upcoming asteroid belt.

As the days passed, the spacecraft slowed down and got closer to the asteroid belt.

"This is the asteroid belt?"

"How do I feel as if there is no difference from the front, the same emptiness, the same loneliness, and I can't see the asteroid."

Wu Renjie carefully looked at the pictures displayed on the monitor, and repeatedly confirmed that at this time, the Qinglong spacecraft had indeed entered the range of the asteroid belt.

But looking at the dark void outside, there seems to be no way, you can't see the picture like in science fiction movies at all, countless meteorites, asteroids, etc., large and small, are coming towards you.

"Haha, we did enter the asteroid belt, but it is almost impossible to detect an asteroid with the naked eye, unless the asteroid is very close to us."

When Huang Zhibin heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Although there are countless asteroids in this asteroid belt, there are more than 1 million known and numbered asteroids, all of which are very massive asteroids in the asteroid belt, such as Ceres, which is the most massive asteroid in the asteroid belt, of course, it should be called a dwarf planet."

"In addition to these numbered millions of massive asteroids, there are countless asteroids of varying masses and sizes throughout the asteroid belt, and the number is difficult to estimate."

"But all of these asteroids are located in a vast asteroid belt, which is very wide, 2.17-3.62 AU from the Sun, which means that it is more than one AU wide."

"Not to mention its length, it is a circle around the entire solar system, and a simple calculation can tell you what a vast area of the asteroid belt is."

"In such a huge area, even though there are a lot of asteroids, the density is not as large as we imagined, and we want to see asteroids with the naked eye, unless they are very close."

"We mainly rely on a variety of detection instruments to detect asteroids."

Long Zhankong also explained to everyone with a smile, and when Wu Renjie, Liao Fanghong and others heard it, they all suddenly realized that everyone had made up a lot of knowledge in this regard.

But compared with professional cosmic astronomical scientists such as Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin, the gap is immediately visible.

"Didi~Didi~"

"Discovery of an asteroid~"

Just as everyone was chatting, the alarm sounded on the spaceship, and everyone immediately came to their senses, and one by one they hurriedly connected to the network on the spaceship with the virtual watch they were wearing, and began to get busy.

"This asteroid is 4,276 kilometers away from us, and according to the analysis of spectral images from the exploration satellites, it is mainly 40% iron, 30% copper, and the rest is basically silicon."

"It has a diameter of more than 1,556 meters, an irregular shape as a whole, and a mass of more than 300 million tons, which is not our dish."

In Wu Renjie's mind, the virtual machine directly transmitted the relevant information to his brain, and he used the computer to calculate and analyze the data, and soon obtained the relevant information about the asteroid.

At the same time, this information was also notified to Wu Renjie, Liao Fanghong and other crew members.
