Chapter 174: Landing Exploration 2

Finally waited for the most critical moment,

In the dark and icy depths of the universe, the Forsaken spacecraft is about to encounter a small comet from nowhere.

"I don't regret the gradual widening of the belt, and I will make people haggard for Yi......"

"Xiaole, prepare me an extra piece of beef. When you are full, you have the strength to work! ”

Hua Kejing cheekily made a request to Xiaole, and Xiaole readily agreed.

"Is it possible for us to find food on the comet?" Hua Kejing asked while eating.

"It's a miracle if you can find organic matter on it!" Xiaole ruthlessly vetoed him.

"It's really a poor and short-sighted ......," Hua Kejing teased herself.

He thought of his once young self and Lao Li, once his stomach growled with hunger, it was like meat when he saw everything, and he wanted to bite into everything.

"Arrive at the nearest point in an hour and a half, the minimum relative distance is 2678 km, you have to leave in 46 minutes......"

While Hua Kejing replenished his energy and calmed his belly, Xiaole once again emphasized the action plan.

"You only have five hours to get up and running after landing on the comet, and you must return to the Forsaken immediately, whether you complete the mission or not."

"If you don't return in time, the risk factor will climb rapidly."

Along with the explanation, a series of analog numbers and warning symbols also appeared in the field of vision of Huakejing.

……

Hua Kejing, who was full of food and drink, took a deep breath, dressed neatly and floated all the way to the isolation cabin.

At this moment, the outer hatch of the isolation chamber is closed.

After checking the airtightness and working condition of the spacesuit and helmet again, Hua Kejing fixed itself to a very small thruster.

It is called a thruster because it cannot be defined as a spaceship at all.

The overall length is no more than 2 meters, and there is not even a confined space, and the life-sustaining system relies entirely on spacesuits.

Rather than the description of a convertible, Hua Kejing prefers to define this thruster as a motorcycle.

No way, for the forsaken, a budget-conscious spaceship, such thrusters could not be more of a luxury.

"With only a little bit of explosives, can you use it?"

This is not the first time that Hua Kejing has asked this question.

However, according to Xiaole's simulation plan, Hua Kejing is not allowed to carry out deep excavation and blasting of the small comet, even if it finds something terrible inside the comet.

The reason is simple, no strength, no time.

"Safety first, no adventures, all actions are under my command!"

"Yes, yes, at your command......"

"Are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Begin closing the door ...... in the isolation chamber"

With a buzzing sound, the hatch in the isolation chamber slowly closed, and then the extractor began to work, and the entire interior of the isolation chamber quickly turned into a vacuum.

"Ready to open the outer hatch ......"

There was another buzz, and as the outer hatch opened, the Hua Ke mirror and the thrusters were directly exposed to the space environment.

In order to ensure safety, Xiaole directly deprived Hua Kejing of control.

Immediately afterwards, the thrusters set off, and they got faster and faster, and the relative speed approached 3,000 kilometers per hour in the blink of an eye.

Although the speed of 3,000 kilometers per hour sounds scary, it is nothing in the dark universe, and Hua Kejing was only slightly distracted, and the Forsaken spacecraft disappeared from behind him in the blink of an eye.

At first, it was a tiny point of light, but soon it was never found again.

At this moment, Hua Kejing's heart was a little panicked.

Although this was not his first time working out of the capsule, the farthest he had ever traveled from the Forsaken had not been more than 50 meters.

It was because of a mistake when he went out for maintenance, from making himself accidentally drift 49 meters away, and finally being pulled back by a safety rope, there was no danger.

But now there are no safety ropes!

Hua Kejing looked up, then down, and then left and right.

Bananas, you Barra! Why is it everywhere that there is a dime!!

The whole world was left in darkness, with only a few stars left in all directions.

Without the Forsaken as a reference, Hua Kejing can no longer feel his own state of movement.

The miniature thruster is like a dead leaf, floating in this dark galaxy.

"Little Fun!"

"I'm here."

Although it is believed that the thrusters are still flying forward, although it is believed that the artificial intelligence is watching itself all the time.

But Hua Kejing still couldn't resist the surging loneliness and fear like a tide.

It's a completely different feeling than being alone on the Forsaken or in a claustrophobic room.

At this moment, the mood and atmosphere are simply unstoppable and unstoppable!

This made Hua Kejing hurriedly call for artificial intelligence.

"How far are we from the comet?"

"About fifteen hundred kilometers."

"What is our speed now?"

"Two hundred and ninety-eight kilometers per hour."

"How ...... the intensity of cosmic rays"

Hua Kejing asked all kinds of questions, the purpose of which was not to make this part of the trip seem too quiet.

As for the distance, speed, cosmic rays, etc., in fact, he can get the answer by looking at the dashboard of the thruster himself.

"It's far away from the stars, and I don't know where that much cosmic radiation comes from......"

"It could come from the dying eruption of a star, far away, or it could be a regular signal from a neutron star......"

Xiaole also took the trouble to chat with Hua Kejing.

……

The universe remains silent and dark.

Far away hides everything terrifying, amazing, and fantastical.

Hua Kejing had no choice but to stretch out his hand from time to time, put it in front of him to take a look, and then stretched out to the void to grab it.

I wanted to be able to catch something, but I couldn't catch the yarn.

Finally, the thrusters began to slow down, and a snow-white bright spot gradually appeared in Hua Kejing's line of sight.

"How far is it?" Hua Kejing asked.

"18.1 km." Xiaole replied.

"Damn, there's still 18 kilometers to go, but I've seen her already."

"That's the effect when you look at the mountains from afar."

"But this is a dark universe, and the lighting conditions are obviously outrageously low!"

"Comets have relatively high reflectivity."

"Is there light here again?"

"Your observation equipment isn't just limited to the visible light. Okay, to be on the safe side, I'm going to reduce the speed below the speed of sound next. ”

"The speed of sound, there has been no concept of air in the universe for a long time, does the speed of sound still have meaning?"

"Nope."

"I see black spots on the ice!"

"Please remain calm."

"I'm calm!"

"Slow down further, start a coordinated flight, prepare to land on the comet, sit down."

"Okay, uncle, I'm ready."

.

.

.

Under Xiao Le's control, I saw that a row of jets on the thruster adjusted multiple angles at the same time, and then accelerated to shoot out a series of lilac streamers.

Driven by these streamers, the speed of the HUAKE mirror and the thruster is getting slower and slower.

At the same time, the comet in front of his eyes was getting bigger and bigger.

When the thrusters are in perfect sync with the comet's speed and direction of flight, it is as if a sacred and ethereal world has suddenly descended.

The picture was like a huge cloud floating quietly in front of Hua Kejing.

Hua Kejing leaned up, stretched out his hand, and finally stroked the translucent large ice cube.

……

I salute every friend who has been with me all the way, thank you for your support!
