Chapter 225: The Capture of the Comet

"Ahh Finally boarded! A day later, the advance team led by Qiao Hehe stood on the surface of the comet, but because there was no one to take the lead, they inexplicably felt like they were being NTR, as if the comet they valued had been defiled.

With such a mood, Qiao Canal looked around, there were not a few team members who had the same idea as him, and he turned to think of what else there was to explore about the comet that had been explored by unmanned units, I am afraid that there was nothing left.

"Minister! Look at this luminous substance! Suddenly, a member of the team shouted, and before he could finish speaking, he excitedly grabbed the surface of the comet through the jetpack and tried to get closer.

"Is there something new!" Qiao Hehe raised his head, his eyes lit up, speaking of the mental model is extremely wise, how can they have rich experience in exploration, and it is inevitable that they will miss something.

"Let's go over and have a look!" Summoned to confidence, Joe Canale beckoned to his surroundings, and 10 minutes later, they came to a cluster of crystals that shone with a faint yellow light.

"Doot toot!" , an alarm sounded in his ears, "It's radiation!" Joe exclaimed, recognizing that it was the natural element radium.

"It's strange how a comet with such a young age can give birth to an emitting element with a lower atomic number? And it looks like it's been steadily decaying for days. ”

Qiao Canal had a premonition that they had discovered a cosmic wonder, and hurriedly asked the employees wearing radiation protection suits to shoot, collect, and even analyze to understand how these natural pure radium elements came from.

Now they continue to explore, the universe is so big, theoretically there will be no big difference in the material elements that make up the stars, but due to the different conditions of birth and the difference in details, the advance team explored through comets. There are still many unknown natural materials and even special geological formations found.

They returned to the spacecraft to recuperate, and the spacecraft re-accelerated to 10,000 km/s, and during the awakening, they had to explore a few more comets so that they could gather enough data.

But. Traveling back and forth between two comets is tedious, it is impossible to maintain a speed of 30,000 km/s at all times, and frequent acceleration and deceleration can easily lead to premature failure of the spacecraft, so they quickly came up with another idea, simply put a comet in the spacecraft, so that they can study thoroughly without any scruples, and this research method is definitely more meaningful than the previous superficial exploration method.

It was an unprecedented idea, and Joe Canal was even proud that their exploration department had thought of such an idea. Who else in history has ever done something similar? Sure enough, no matter how you think about it, you can't think about it!

"Just choose this comet!" It didn't take long for Joe Canal to sift through the observations and aim at another ultra-small comet with a diameter of 30 meters, which was still in its infancy, and the main material that made up the star was a loose, soft substance, so that the slightest impact would peel off clouds of smoke and dust.

"Miss Kirizuki. Don't you think our program is fantastic? Qiao Hehe asked tentatively when he saw that Wuyue was reviewing their suggestions.

"Not bad." When hearing the idea of the exploration department. Wuyue did feel a shock, could it be that as a mental model, she was inferior to humans in terms of creative ability? She will never admit it, doesn't this mean that what the master has created is not a real intelligent life, and he doesn't even have the ability to create.

She firmly believes that she has absolutely no problems, that the master is flawless, and that the brains of this group of people are naturally different. Or it is not nice to say that it is "a lack of roots in the head", so she will propose such a plan, so that she was moved and had to fully support the development of this work.

Hearing that Wuyue agreed, Qiao Canal breathed a sigh of relief. After the preparation, the team members involved in this operation were eager to take action and cooperate in the division of labor, but because the target comet was too fragile, they did not dare to approach at too fast speed, for fear of accidentally "rolling up" the stardust wind and blowing the comet away.

The White Lotus Princess's speed plummeted to 20 km/s, a common speed for orbiting the solar system, barely maintaining a balance between centripetal and centrifugal forces, and remaining relatively stationary with the comet.

After all the team members checked their equipment, they got out of the spaceship and observed the comet not far away, thinking about how to drag it back.

"Be careful!" Qiao Canal saw a member of the team boldly reach out and grab the surface of the comet first, such a bad behavior, it is as if he is openly molesting his girlfriend in front of them, who can tolerate it.

Faced with the hostile gaze of the crowd, the player who shot the shot retreated with a sneer, and the rest circled around the comet, which was less than 30 meters in diameter.

"Just follow Plan 1!" Qiao Canal gave an order after examining it, and Wu Yue heard it and hurriedly controlled the belly hatch of the White Lotus Princess to open, revealing an empty and wide space, which was used for the entry and exit of the moon-level spacecraft, but now it became a bloody mouth that "swallowed" the comet.

In order to prevent damage to the comet due to scratching, the foggy moon had to precisely control the ship's slow acceleration, steering, and speed change, until the comet was submerged in the spacecraft, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"We made it!" Joe Canal made an incredulous sound.

"Aha! This comet is ours now! The team members below chimed in.

After capturing the comet, everyone immediately returned to the spacecraft through the hatch, eager to dissect the comet and study it in depth so that they could learn more secrets.

A week later, the entire dissected comet was lying in the passage for the spacecraft to enter and exit, as if it was a completely corrupted girl, who had been dead for a long time.

It's a pity to tear the comet down, some people think they can send it back to Centaur Alpha as a monument, but the human thirst for knowledge is so desperate that by the time someone comes to his senses, the comet has been dismantled.

Through the dissection, everyone understands how this comet with a diameter of 30 meters was formed, and its interior is a dense meteorite core with a diameter of 10 meters, which provides good mass, gravity, and is quite strong enough to withstand high-intensity interstellar drifting without inexplicably dying on the way.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that it is not very old, it has absorbed a considerable amount of stardust material, and has grown into a comet with a diameter of 30 meters and a larger point, maybe in hundreds of millions of years, it will grow into a young planet, maybe billions of years later, it will grow into an adult star, but it has now dedicated itself to the great cause of the East Galaxy Company, so there is no such possibility.
