168 galaxy edges

After receiving the order, Li Keke promised to load the artillery satellite, but was grabbed by the quick-eyed Ling Xiao.

Li Keke raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have grabbed Ling Xiao's collar and interrogated her: trickery. The hooligan has played on this girl, are you crooked?

Ling Xiao gestured to the screen: "Are you stupid, what speed are we all at, and you still want to fire satellites?"

The speed of the battleship is too fast, and the direct release of the satellite will break away from the gravitational pull of Saturn, and it will be launched with an electromagnetic cannon?

Li Keke looked disdainful: "You're stupid, don't you know what it means to put it upside down...... Is this girl's hand slippery? Is it tender?"

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that he was still holding Li Keke's wrist, so he quickly let go and rubbed his palm on his clothes.

Li Keke's eyebrows were upside down, and a few words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "The surname is Ling, you wait for me!"

Ling Xiao is not Ou Zhanpeng's low emotional intelligence, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, but in front of so many people, he couldn't pull his face to compensate.

He intensified, rubbed a few more times, and raised his neck slightly, looking like he was helpless.

Women are really troublesome, and touching them is tricky. Hooligans eat tofu to take advantage, you let her go, and all kinds of grievances and dissatisfaction.

Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the ancients did not deceive me!

"This girl doesn't know as much as you!" Li Keke pointed to his fingertips and reloaded the artillery satellite.

That being said, this account is kept in mind.

Ou Zhanpeng laughed directly: "Ling Xiao, my fair lady and gentleman, our cocoa is quite rare, it's not strange that you have ideas, but if you have ideas, just say it, can you be more sincere and less routine?"

With a slight moment of speaking, the battleship immediately began to turn one hundred and eighty degrees.

Xu Qing blinked her eyes wide, and she was impressed by her man's performance - after so much cultivation, this wood has finally opened up.

Ling Xiao's whole person was not good: "Hey, what's your situation? I just got stuck in my head and made a small mistake, so why do I keep holding on to it?"

He wanted to say: No one can trick Li Keke with my routine, but he has come to his senses at this time, and the matter just now has not been settled, and there is no one on his mouth at this time, it must be another conflict, so he rationally avoided the important and trivialized.

Ou Zhanpeng smiled evilly: "It's easy to talk about this matter, we are not such stingy people, but it's your fault in the back, right?" With that, he smiled and made a gesture of wiping his hands.

In the past, Ling Xiao teased him and Xu Qing, but today he finally seized the opportunity and must get this field back.

Li Keke nodded forcefully, and with a light press, the artillery launch satellite was successfully launched: "The transmission power is normal, the relative speed is stable, and the orbital altitude is increasing!"

The ridicule of the two bored men was interrupted by this sentence, and Ou Zhanpeng was about to turn the battleship back, when another thought popped up in his head: "Load ordinary bullets, let's give those mushrooms a few clicks."

"One round of normal rounds!" Li Keke immediately responded, "Lock the target...... Three, two, one, good!"

The cannonball came out of its chamber and flew straight towards Saturn...... Left. ….

The speed of the battleship is fast, and the distance from Saturn is very far, and the amount of lag must be mastered to ensure that the shells hit the target.

This is the foundation of the foundation, and Li Keke will never make a mistake on such a common-sense issue.

It's not like Ling Mouxiao!

She glanced at someone disapprovingly.

When Yunhe was about to fly away from Saturn, it received images from the satellite, and the cannonball crashed into Saturn's atmosphere, accurately hitting an orange mushroom, and silently drilling a hole.

Half a minute later, the large floating mushroom began to descend and fade into the clouds.

Ling Xiao's face was full of surprise: "Why does this thing look like a balloon?"

"It could also be a balloon." Ou Zhanpeng said.

He called up the repeated viewing of the battleship's shooting: "For the time being, this thing should not be in danger

Risk, leave the rest to the headache."

This was not the task of the Yunhe, and he had done his best.

A few minutes later, Yunhe completed the acceleration and orbit change, leaving Saturn to enter the final stage, and from then on, it flew straight to its destination.

The rest of the voyage went very smoothly, and it is no exaggeration to say that since the beginning of the flight by Jupiter, Yunhe has been making history every second, and every moment is breaking a new record for human spaceflight.

Although everyone knew about it, no one took it to heart, those who should be on duty were on duty, and those who should be asleep were sleeping.

After flying past Neptune's orbit, Yunhe officially entered the outer Neptune region, where there are many small celestial bodies, and they are all large and small dirty snowballs.

At the beginning, Ou Zhanpeng and Xu Qing were still very interested in sitting on the bridge and watching the starry sky, but no matter how fresh the scenery was, they couldn't stand to look at it every day, and they got tired of it after a few days, and they turned a blind eye to it.

Although the number of dirty snowballs is large, but the distribution range is also extremely wide, Ou Zhanpeng was originally a little worried about whether he would encounter danger, and it took a while to determine that the density of celestial bodies in the outer Neptune region was much lower than expected, and it was no problem for Yunhe to keep an eye on the target and sail straight through.

Unless you deliberately hit an asteroid, you don't have to worry about fart.

The most dangerous one was a close encounter with an asteroid, and the closest distance between the two sides was more than 30 kilometers.

Very safe distance.

However, the warship's early warning system does not matter so much, the early warning range of this system is 100,000 kilometers, the intervention distance is 70,000 kilometers, and the destruction distance is 5,000 kilometers!

As soon as a small object is detected in the warning range, an alarm will be issued immediately, and the trajectory of the small object will be calculated to determine whether there is a risk of impact.

Don't think that 100,000 kilometers is far away, the Yunhe has reached a record speed of more than 260 kilometers per second at the moment, and it only takes a little more than six minutes to fly over 100,000 kilometers.

There is no risk of impact, forget it, you take your Yangguan Road, I take my single-plank bridge, and no one will affect anyone.

If the system determines that there is a risk of impact, the battleship will immediately issue an alarm and activate the laser cannon at a distance of 70,000 kilometers from the target, continuously irradiating the target at a lower power and intervening in the target's flight direction.

It is naturally easier to destroy the target, but destroying it will create a large amount of debris, and at the speed of the Yunhe, it will be an irreparable disaster if you hit something casually. ….

Therefore, as early as Yunhe, he is like a gentle warm man, always dealing with asteroids with gentle means, rather than violently destroying them at every turn.

Unless absolutely necessary.

Since then, the voyage has been smooth, and by the end of September 2071, Yunhe has flown more than 50 astronomical units, and there are only ten days left to reach the target.

The battleship rotated 180 degrees under the control of Ou Zhanpeng, activated the main thruster, and entered the deceleration phase.

This thing has not been activated since the start, and Captain Ou is particularly worried about this thing, but fortunately, it was successfully activated once.

But with only those few main thrusters, it will take at least a few months to slow down the speed of the battleship, and the real killer feature is four nuclear-powered pulse engines!

This thing comes from Lao Mi's Orion project, which was proposed more than a hundred years ago, but it has not been able to be put into practical use because of too many technical difficulties.

The biggest improvement is to arrange a protective force field in the propulsion cavity to reduce the impact of a miniature nuclear explosion on the warship, which can not only improve the utilization rate, but also effectively reduce the damage to the bearing structure.

Another improvement is the addition of cushioning structures, including large hydraulic buffers, multiple elastic buffers and pressure buffers.

Every time the nuclear pulse engine is started, it is like a heavy artillery salvo, the light flashes in the horn, the engine slams forward, and the force field and hydraulic device flatten the violent momentum to the main body of the battleship, and then slowly reset under the action of the hydraulic system.

Although a multi-layer buffer structure is adopted, the working method of this engine is too special, and since the deceleration stage has been hit, the battleship has an irrepressible shock, just like an invisible giant, constantly wielding a giant hammer to hit the Yunhe

Sole of the foot.

Fortunately, the effect of the thrusters was good, and the Yunhe was like a wild horse with the reins on it, and the battleship continued to slow down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it dragged the voyage of only ten days into more than a month!

When the battleship arrived in the predetermined airspace, the speed was just right.

"This is it!" Ou Zhanpeng took a long breath, thinking back on the bits and pieces along the way, and suddenly felt a lot of emotion.

Although there were Oort clouds outside the Kuiper Belt, and he was still far from the true edge of the solar system, he had a feeling that this was the edge of the solar system.

It only took more than a year to fly here, and the Yunhe was indeed extraordinary, but everyone couldn't be happy when they looked at the vast black void outside the ship.

Ling Xiao scratched the back of his head vigorously and said everyone's thoughts: "Isn't it, this is the place? Where is the goal?"

Ou Zhanpeng also scratched his head: "I don't know, this is the position given by experts."

"That's the level of the expert?" Ling Xiao's facial features were tangled together, as if he was going to eat a loose meal.

"Can the expert I found above be of a poor level?" Ou Zhanpeng sighed, already thinking of what the problem was, "The coordinates given by the expert are definitely fine, but this kind of accuracy is relative, specific to the star map, this is the case with a little bit."

Well, it's a little bit, but this point encompasses a huge space with a radius of more than 300,000 kilometers.

In a word, drawing a ball based on the orbit of the moon is a little larger than the space in front of you. ….

That asteroid could be at the edge of the sphere, or it could be at the center of the sphere.

Ling Xiao was even more entangled: "Why don't we contact the top and let the experts recalculate?"

"Without data, it's the same whether you connect or not." Ou Zhanpeng carefully recalled the scene in the dream, and gestured with his two hands for a long time before he spit out a sentence, "The shape of the target is irregular, and the volume is not too small!"

Ling Xiao covered his face: "If you say it, you don't say it!"

Ou Zhanpeng simply called up the drawing interface and drew the general outline of the asteroid in three or two clicks: "This is clear, right?"

Everyone suddenly smiled bitterly, it was clear that it was clear, but this shape was too ordinary, not much different from the dirty snowballs that could be seen everywhere, and there was no appearance feature that could help to judge.

Even if it has a particularly sharp corner, it would be fine!

"Anything else?" Xu Qing couldn't help but ask, "How big is the volume?"

Ou Zhanpeng had a headache: "There is no comparison, and I can't tell clearly...... Remove the small ones first, leaving only 10 meters in diameter...... No, celestial bodies under 8 meters!"

"Good!" Zeng Qiao agreed, and immediately imported Ou Zhanpeng's paintings into the radar system, set the detection data, and began to detect the target area.

She is the ship's electronics engineer and is responsible for electronic equipment such as communications and radar.

Moments later, the radar began to scan the target sector.

The Yunhe's radar is so advanced that it can detect tens of thousands of signals simultaneously and process the physical characteristics of each signal simultaneously.

But Zeng Qiao didn't do this, but scanned it step by step.

The first round of detection counted the total number of targets, and the number of targets exceeded 100,000; In the second round of exploration, small objects with a diameter of less than 8 meters were removed, and the number of targets was directly cut in half; The third round of detection calculates the shape of the target, and the number of targets is cut in half; In the fourth round of detection, there were only 8,000 targets left.

"There are results." Zeng Qiao said.

Ou Zhanpeng looked at it and smiled bitterly again.

There are more than 6,400 small celestial bodies above 8 meters and 30 meters below, and more than 1,500 above 30 meters.

"Think again!" Ling Xiao reluctantly suggested.

"yes, are there any other clues?" Xu Qing also asked.

Ou Zhanpeng rubbed his temples vigorously, continued to recall the scene in the dream, and suddenly clicked a few more times on the drawing interface: "I remember that there are other celestial bodies in these locations, but I can't remember what the exact shape is."

Xu Qing turned her head to look at Zeng Qiao, who nodded: "I'll try!"

Changed the way the radar works to a day*** scan comparison, but there is still no result.

Everyone was deflated, and there was a wail on the bridge.

"I can't figure it out, you go on!" Ling Xiao lay on the seat like a dead dog, his face full of lovelessness.

"Cut, it's useless!" Li Keke pouted and mocked.

Ling Xiao pretended not to hear and rolled his eyes fiercely.

He really wanted to go back: You haven't used it, how do you know if Lao Tzu is useful or not? But I can't tell this little girl at all, can't I hide if I can't provoke it?

Xu Qing looked at Ou Zhanpeng and wanted to speak, but Ou Zhanpeng hurriedly waved his hand: "Let me be slow, let me ...... slowly Zeng Qiao, can you determine the orbital velocity of a small celestial body and speculate on the situation five years ago?"

"Five years ago?" Zeng Qiao was stunned on the spot, "So long?"

Others also fainted, going back five years? That's not a radius of 300,000 kilometers, it's more than 3 million kilometers, right?

"When?" Zeng Qiao asked.

"Between June and July." Ou Zhanpeng said.

"I'll try." Zeng Qiao adjusted the system and tried to make the shipboard computer understand his intentions, and in just a few seconds, the operating power of the processor soared directly to 100%, and continued to run at a high level, always fluctuating between 99% and 100%.

Don't think that 12 minutes is very short, in order to successfully complete the task, Yanjing gave Yunhe a special supercomputer.

Although it is not the latest model, and because of the limited space on the ship, one-third of the equipment has been discarded, which has slowed down the calculation speed a lot.

But supercomputing is supercomputing, even in the face of such complex calculations, it only takes a short while.
