382555555% of the speed of light

Chen definitely didn't know what was happening on this side of the moon, and his perception ability could only cover a range of a few hundred kilometers at present, and he couldn't envelop the entire Earth-Moon orbit.

At this time, he was riding the spherical spacecraft, heading towards Mars at high speed.

After entering the space environment, without the air resistance of the earth's atmosphere and the influence of the earth's gravity, the speed of the spherical vehicle piloted by Chen Jue became faster and faster.

From Mach 100, it has increased by three orders of magnitude again, and it has exploded to about Mach 100,000 in one go.

At this time, the speed of the aircraft has exceeded 34 kilometers per second, which has reached 10% of the speed of light, but it has not yet reached the limit of Chen Duan.

And it's not particularly fast!

Because the fastest spacecraft of mankind, the Juno spacecraft launched by the Eagle Nation in 2011, once accelerated to a world record of 73.6 kilometers per second in 2016 with the help of Jupiter's huge gravitational pull.

"Let's try my acceleration limit!"

Chen Du riveted his strength, and with the help of the gravitational field between the earth and Mars, he continued to speed up the navigation speed of the spherical vehicle.

100,000, 200,000, 300,000, all the way to Mach 500,000, the entire aircraft began to be unable to withstand such a terrifying speed and began to tremble violently.

"Space dust?" Chen decided to move, reached out and patted the metal inner wall of the aircraft, increasing the injection of plasma energy.

You know, it looks like a vacuum in space, but in fact, there is a lot of cosmic dust floating in it.

The dust is a mixture of rock particles, metal particles, and gas particles. Although the distribution is extremely uneven, the proportion of a unit of cubic meter is almost zero.

But once the spacecraft accelerates to a certain speed, it's like driving on a rainy day, and the amount of cosmic dust that hits it head-on begins to increase dramatically, like a car plunging headlong into the rain, and no matter how much the wipers scrape, it is impossible to scrape the raindrops falling from the sky.

Fortunately, after Chen Jie's plasma energy was injected into the shell, the originally solid hard shell of the spherical aircraft entered the fluid state again, stabilizing the tremor.

The cosmic dust that hit the outer shell head-on was either blown away by the air currents rolled up by the aircraft, or it was absorbed and fused into the outer shell like those bullets fired at the aircraft.

A harder and denser protective layer was built in the outermost layer of the aircraft, which completely adapted to the flight environment of outer space, and the abnormal violent tremor was completely stabilized.

……

Although the process of cruising in space is very boring, Chen Jue comfortably leans on the American sofa and uses the notepad function recorded by the smart bracelet to record some important data during the flight in detail.

"Voyage Record: After entering space, when the vehicle reaches 56% of the speed of light, the shell encounters a cosmic dust barrier similar to the sound barrier."

"Countermeasures: Strengthen the shell of the aircraft, or use the shape of the wave-riding body to open up a route to avoid cosmic dust, the spherical vehicle is not suitable for high-speed cruising in the space environment......"

This data will be crucial for future human beings to step into the stars and travel to the stars.

As a true saint in the world, he is regarded as a pioneer and pioneer of mankind, so he naturally wants to leave a few words in the history of stepping into the starry sky.

It's just that Chen Jue overestimated the distance between Earth and Mars a little too much, after flying at 56% of the speed of light for less than 20 minutes.

Chen Jue could clearly sense that the gravitational field outside the aircraft was changing.

"Arriving on Mars so soon?" Chen was determined to move, and he sensed that a gravitational field, 10 times smaller than Earth, was providing traction for the aircraft.

Because Mars is only half the diameter of the Earth and has a mass of only about 11% of the Earth, the gravitational attraction it can provide is naturally much smaller.

After perceiving this change in the gravitational field, Chen Jue slowly reduced the speed of the aircraft and reached out to touch the inner wall.

The surface of the spherical shell, which had been in a fluid state, suddenly wrigged, as if teeth had grown out of the gums.

With a blinding white light, a thick piece of transparent glass grew out of the shell.

This is a transparent observation window created by Chen Jue using the [Material Interference] ability to create a transparent observation window from the dust and gravel adsorbed on the shell of the aircraft.

Previously, when flying at 57% of the speed of light, the glass of this kind of viewing window could not withstand the oncoming dust stream, so Chen Jue didn't do it.

Now that he is about to reach Mars, after slowing down to the speed of a normal spacecraft, he needs to observe the situation on Mars with the naked eye.

After all, Chen Jue's perception ability is not as exaggerated as covering an entire planetary system in one go, and there is no high-tech positioning and navigation inside the aircraft, so he can only judge whether his course is correct by looking directly at this method with the naked eye.

Through the viewing window, Chen Jue saw a red planet.

It is only half the size of the Earth, and the outer layer of the atmosphere is much thinner than the Earth. The atmosphere is mainly composed of carbon dioxide, with only a small amount of oxygen and water vapor.

The entire Mars fell in Chen Jue's eyes, full of dead silence and desolation.

Compared to the blue earth, which is full of life, it is as if the entire planet has fallen into a deep sleep.

"Is this Mars?"

"In the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor, Yingfu guarded his heart."

"It's still much more spectacular up close than the data." Chen Jue muttered in his mouth, stretched out his hand, and the newly generated observation window was dragged by him from the front of the shell of the fluid suit to the top of his head, as if it was wearing a slide rail.

Through the change of observation angle, Chen Jue saw the signal pointer that was directly hitting the surface of Mars from the earth.

It was a special energy field emitted from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, whose trajectory Chen had observed several times before when he was on Earth.

At present, flying out hundreds of millions of kilometers, the energy field emitted by this imperial tomb still has not decayed, just like a compass pointer in the space environment, providing Chen Du with a direction to continue to move forward.

"Is this a signal pointer, or is it something like the Rainbow Bridge in Norse mythology?"

"The distance across the two planets will not be attenuated...... Chen decided to move, controlling the spacecraft, along the pointing bridge built by this energy field, and getting closer to Mars little by little.

After a few minutes of adjusting its flight attitude and passing through the thin Martian atmosphere, the spherical vehicle landed smoothly on the surface of Mars near the equator.

With a wriggling of the shell on the surface of the sphere, a hatch that can be passed through by a human body is automatically generated.

Chen Jue was dressed in black, tightly wrapped from head to toe, only the eyes were covered with a device similar to diving goggles, and with a kick of his feet, his body stood lightly on the ground of Mars.

"The achievement of the first human to set foot on Mars!" Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Looking up, he saw the sky full of yellow sand, and the wind carried the reddish-brown sand and crackled on the surface of his suit.

As for the place where he stood, it was an arched boulder that resembled a low hill, and the terrain was very close to the weathered ghost town in the desert of the earth.

It was just that as soon as he landed on this boulder and stepped on this foot, Chen Jue sensed that something was wrong.

He could clearly feel as if something was under the rocky hills he was on.

Chen Jue sensed that something was wrong under his feet with the help of the outgoing sense, and stomped his foot violently, and the reddish-brown rocks around him were like being hit by a ground-penetrating missile.

There was a bang on the ground, centered on the place where Chen Du stomped his feet, and the rocks that occupied a radius of several kilometers in the area shattered into countless pieces at this moment.

It's like a big sharp dumpling that has been stripped of its clothes.

From the moment these rocks peeled off, a pyramid-shaped building that closely resembled the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was revealed!

"No wonder the signal from the Imperial Tomb is directed to this area."

"There's really something going on down here!"
