"It's finally here, and it feels like a few hours is quite long, this asteroid belt...... It looks pretty good. ”

"But it just reminds me of a magical software on the earth, the difference between beauty and no makeup, is not at all as dense as in film and television works and simulations."

When the speed of the spaceship slowed down, Dong Chen stood up from the captain's position and looked at the asteroid belt ahead through the porthole of Andromeda with a good view, feeling that it was not as dense as he imagined.

I know that pictures and movies are exaggerated, but when I actually got here, I felt that those things were not ordinary exaggerations.

"Of course, sir," after listening to Dong Chen's exclamation, No. 1 smiled beside him, "After all, those are all simulation drawings, and they are made to highlight their characteristics, just to let ordinary people have a concept of asteroid aggregation area." ”

"Basically, most people in the world will never be able to reach the asteroid belt in their lifetime, so no one will know how dense and relatively sparse the asteroid belt is in reality."

"And not everybody cares whether the asteroid belt is dense or sparse, just like a lot of people don't care about whether the gold market will rise tomorrow or whether the diamond production will be reduced the day after tomorrow, because it has nothing to do with them."

That's right, Dong Chen felt that what No. 1 said was completely fine, and his sigh was actually just from the perspective of an audience.

In fact, when I was far away from the asteroid belt at the beginning, I felt okay, and looking at the asteroid with a little bit of asteroid aggregation area, I could see that many asteroids were gathered there.

But when the spacecraft actually flew into the asteroid belt, it was found that the distance between each asteroid was not ordinarily far.

"Alright, let's head to our destination, which planned asteroid are we closest to now?" Dong Chen was not verbose, and sat back in his seat and asked No. 1.

The holographic projection of No. 1, who was standing next to Dong Chen's seat, pulled the hologram of the asteroid belt in front of him back and forth, looked at it and said, "Sir, we are closest to Vesta." ”

"Okay," Dong Chen also raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Vesta, "Then let's go to Vesta first, and build the first human base in the asteroid belt on it." ”

After speaking, he looked at No. 1, "Although the asteroids in the asteroid belt are quite far away, I won't show off operations here, so you should drive them, No. 1." ”

"Yes, sir."

"The driving rights have been taken over."

"Re-route and target Vesta."

"The route is planned, let's go."

There is a No. 1 flying smoothly in the asteroid belt with a spacecraft, which also gives Dong Chen the opportunity to take a good look at this place that many people can't reach in their lifetime.

The asteroid belt, which is commonly referred to as the asteroid belt, is a dense area of asteroids between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the solar system, which is about 2.17-3.64 astronomical units away from the Sun and gathers more than 500,000 asteroids.

Although almost all the stars in the solar system are affected by the gravitational pull of the sun, the asteroid belt is obviously closer to Jupiter, and Jupiter's gravitational pull is not small.

Therefore, under the gravitational influence of Jupiter, it hindered the formation of the final planet by the initial asteroids and small bodies, and also caused many asteroids to collide with each other, and formed many debris and debris, and finally formed this asteroid belt.

The three largest asteroids in the asteroid belt are Homo sapiens, Marriage and Vesta, all of which have an average diameter of more than 400 kilometers. There is only one dwarf planet in the main belt, Ceres, which is about 950 kilometers in diameter. The rest of the asteroids are smaller, some even the size of dust.

Among them, these four large planets are the targets of Dong Chen and No. 1 this time.

The material in the asteroid belt is very thin, and there have even been several human space vehicles passing safely without incident, but this is only known to professionals.

Most people only know that the universe is very large and very empty, but there are also countless asteroids, and even a lot of dense asteroid belts.

As for how dense it is, anyone who has seen the mock-ups and movies knows that it is really dense, just like the space junk before it...... Simulations, of course, I felt like I accidentally bumped into them.

Otherwise, how could Arc Aerospace be forced to fish for space junk every day.

Therefore, many people wonder whether the collision between the spacecraft and the asteroid will be caused when the spacecraft passes there quickly, or even lead to destruction.

After all, hundreds of thousands of asteroids of different sizes are crowded together, and it is very dangerous.

It can be said that this kind of thinking is definitely caused by the simulation diagram.

In fact, as long as the speed is not as fast as a thief, or if you want to die, then flying in the asteroid belt is still very simple.

At the very least, the Andromeda piloted by No. 1 is very easy, as long as it avoids the asteroid groups crowded together in advance, because the material in the asteroid belt is actually very thin.

And the thinness and scarcity of visible matter is the essence of the universe.

Dong Chen estimated that even if two galaxies collided, the greatest probability would be that the two galaxies passed through each other, and then none of the hairs took away, because the visible matter in the starry sky was really too thin.

If there really are planets that explode because of a very, very, very small probability of colliding with each other, then you must quickly confess, because if you don't confess again, the earth will explode.

"No. 1, I think that after arc spaceflight, we can open a flight to the asteroid belt, so that people can come to see what the real asteroid belt is, and don't look at the simulation all day long."

Dong Chen was admiring the different scenery while discussing this issue with No. 1.

And No. 1 smiled and said, "Sir, I don't think you need to this, they will also come to the asteroid belt to develop, after all, the asteroid belt is a very good space mine for human beings, and I think all countries in the world will not let it go." ”

"And if there is a demand, naturally there will be people here, and after someone comes, there will be more opportunities for human beings to understand this place."

"Haha, that's right, we don't have to worry about it." Dong Chen also laughed.

"I just don't know when they'll come, and I won't be stunned to see hordes of space battleships and space warplanes when they come."

"What a ...... are you, sir. Bad taste. Number One covered his mouth and smiled, then raised his hand and pointed to the porthole in front of him, "Sir, we're already on Vesta." ”

"Oh? So fast? ”

Hearing No. 1's words, Dong Chen was slightly surprised and turned his head to look ahead, and sure enough, he saw the oblate spherical shape of Vesta, as well as its surface full of craters.

"It's really here."
