Among these parameters are Mercury's mass, gravitational field, orbital and rotational speed, density, and various parameters about the Sun.

In the past few years, human civilization has made all this clear through various means of observing Mercury and the Sun.

What needs to be measured at this moment is some parameters about oneself, such as one's precise speed, distance, orbit, heading, etc., relative to Mercury.

Only by identifying these things can we strictly ensure that the Glowing spacecraft is in a suitable orbit, accelerating itself as much as possible by Mercury's gravitational pull, and pointing exactly in the direction of Venus after the acceleration is over.

Chen Yue cautiously turned on the relevant equipment and began to measure the relevant parameters.

It took about five seconds for the parameters to be generated and he calculated the final result.

He couldn't help but feel a little glad in his heart.

"Luckily, the equipment was not damaged......"

Being so close to the sun that the equipment can be successfully started and run successfully can be considered a good thing to do.

But before Chen Yue was happy, the glass cover of a rangefinder exploded.

There was no sound coming from the vacuum, and there was no surveillance equipment in the vicinity that happened to be aimed at it. Chen Yue did not see the damage with his own eyes, but from the error data transmitted back by the sensor and the type of fault, Chen Yue still knew that it was broken.

This distressed Chen Yue grinned.

You must know that every device that is kept is out of print for him. For a long time, it was impossible to be able to make them yourself.

One bad one is one less.

The damage to this rangefinder seems to have kicked off something. The next moment, inside the cabin, a piece of filling suddenly turned black.

Through the monitor in the cabin, Chen Yue took a look and knew what was going on.

The ship's hull temperature is too high. The excessively high temperature causes the filler to carbonize and blacken.

Thankfully, there is no oxygen in the cabin at the moment. If there were astronauts living inside and oxygen as before, the filling would not just be carbonized, but would start to burn.

The inside of the spaceship caught fire, and you can imagine how serious the consequences were.

And all this is due to the scorching sun and the fact that the Glowing spacecraft itself is not designed to be so close to the sun.

It was originally going to Mars, and it didn't have such a high thermal insulation ability.

"It's not good to stay here for a long time......"

Chen Yue sighed silently in his heart, calmed down, carefully manipulated the spaceship thrusters, slightly adjusted his speed, course and attitude, and then turned them off as fast as he could.

Don't dare to start them again. Thrusters are the most important piece of equipment, and if they break, they really won't be able to go anywhere.

In this place, which is only 500 kilometers away from the surface of Mercury, after completing all the operations, Chen Yue did not look, did not think, did not smell, did not ask, not only shut down all external detection facilities, but also turned off most of the modules of the central computer, and only maintained the minimum operation, like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

He didn't even have time to verify the effect of the navigation state adjustment, so he "curled" back into the deepest part of the spaceship.

At this moment, Chen Yue knew nothing about the outside world, about his own environment and state. All he could do was wait.

It would take two months before he slowly turned on the observation equipment. Only then will he be able to regain his perception of the outside world, so that he can know his own situation and state.

Because in two months, the distance between yourself and the sun will increase to about 80 million kilometers. At that point, when the solar radiation is weakened, the risk of damage is much lower when the equipment is turned on.

This state of being closed off to all the senses and ignorant of the outside world is very uncomfortable. It's like locking a person in a small dark room, where he can't see or hear anything.

If you don't stay in this state for a few days, you will go crazy. And at this moment, Chen Yue has to stay in this state for two months.

Fortunately, Chen Yue's spirit is tenacious enough.

As the first astronaut of human civilization to set foot on Mars, if civilization is still there, then Chen Yue's name is destined to be passed down through the ages along with Gagarin, the first cosmonaut to step into space, and Armstrong, the first astronaut to land on the moon.

It is foreseeable how strict the selection of this kind of astronaut will be, and how good Chen Yue will be at the beginning, how tenacious his spirit is, and how strong his overall quality will be, so that he can stand out among many competitors and finally be responsible for carrying out this mission.

In fact, in the comprehensive training course, that is, he did not take the exam, otherwise, Chen Yue thought that he would have no problem at all with a dozen master's degrees. It's not a problem to get three or four PhDs.

In some fields, the knowledge you have is deeper than that of an expert in that field.

After two months of "little black house", Chen Yue endured it silently.

When the countdown reaches zero, even a mentally resilient person like him can't help but have a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

It's time to restart your devices.

"Let's hope it doesn't break too much."

Chen Yue thought with a wry smile: "If it is too bad, it will be difficult." ”

The first to be activated is the telescope and its own monitoring system. He first measured his position and found that the distance from the sun was indeed more than 80 million kilometers at this moment, and there was no problem with the course and speed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then there's the state of oneself. He saw that the shell armor of the Glowing Confusion had undergone a large-scale, large-scale color change.

Obviously, this is due to the change in metal properties caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

Their performance has been greatly reduced.

The ship's interior filling layer also showed multiple traces of carbonization. This means that the thermal insulation performance, sealing performance, radiation protection and other performance of the spacecraft will be greatly reduced.

At this moment, the Glowing Confusion spacecraft, after experiencing the scorching sun, can no longer provide an environment suitable for human survival.

Fortunately, Chen Yue didn't need it at the moment.

And then there's the equipment. Based on the fault code and visual observations, Chen Yue determined that a total of about 600 parts and components had failed during this voyage. Some of it should be repairable, but only after it has become more capable of moving.

Fortunately, none of these damaged parts involved critical functions. The Glowing Monster is still barely functioning.

That's where the sun comes in. Chen Yue knew that the sun at this moment was still the sun in a relatively calm state. As soon as the wreckage planet hits the sun, the sun will immediately go berserk.

Its temperature, radiation, solar wind, etc., will all increase dramatically. Even a billion kilometers away from the sun, it will endure a much more brutal test than it is now.

At that time, he was really dead, and no one could save him.

Going to the Jupiter system and relying on the shelter of Jupiter's magnetic field to avoid this disaster is your only way to survive.

While rejoicing, while sighing, the small Glowing Confusion spaceship continued to move forward rapidly.

This time, it is Venus that is used to speed up itself.

The essence of gravitational slingshot acceleration is actually the theft of kinetic energy. In other words, the Glowing spacecraft steals a little bit of Venus's kinetic energy and uses it to accelerate itself.

To make a reluctant analogy, imagine two magnets, one at rest and the other passing not far from it. Then, under the action of magnetic force, the stationary magnet will also move, and the speed of the magnet that was originally moving will be slowed down.

It's just that in space, the medium has changed from magnetism to gravity.

A big planet is too big, and the kinetic energy it has is too big. Not to mention a small spaceship like the Glow, even if it is a thousand times larger, ten thousand times larger, and "steals" the kinetic energy of Venus 100 million times, a billion times, it is impossible to have any macroscopic impact on Venus.

The only pity is that to complete this "stealing", there are many restrictions, many requirements, and there is an upper limit. A theft can only accelerate the Glowing spacecraft by a few kilometers per second at most, and it is impossible to do more. And it was still under the condition that the speed of the Glowing spaceship itself was low.

If the ship itself is fast enough, there is no way to steal it.

This time, far away from the sun, Chen Yue can finally start the various observation equipment with confidence, strictly monitor his own state, and appreciate the magnificence of Venus by the way.

When viewed from Earth, Venus is the brightest star of the day. This is first because it is close enough to the Earth, and second because it has an extremely high albedo.

Because it has a thick atmosphere, and the atmosphere has a very high albedo. Under such a thick atmosphere, the atmospheric pressure on the surface of Venus is 100 times greater than that of the Earth's, and its surface temperature is as high as more than 400 degrees Celsius.

Under such a thick atmosphere, it was impossible for Chen Yue to see what it looked like on the surface. All he could see was a mist-shrouded, mostly white, dotted with green, black, dark and other colors. And the flow of air can be clearly seen.

In this case, the Glowing Confusion passed by it at a very high speed, changing course and gaining a speed increase.

At this moment, the course of the Glowing spacecraft was already pointing towards Mars.

Not directly facing Mars, of course, but where Mars will be in about a year's time.

The Glowing spacecraft will arrive there in about a year, and Mars will arrive there at the same time, where the two will meet. After that, the Glowing spacecraft slows down and enters the orbit around Mars and begins to orbit around it.

As a result, the range of the Glowing spacecraft has increased considerably, and its course is not a straight line, but a parabola. But it can't be helped, interstellar navigation is like that.

Passing by Venus, the Glowing spacecraft continued to travel at high speed.

At this moment, Chen Yue had already sensed that the intensity of the sun's radiation was slowly increasing.

He was well aware that this was because some of the smaller debris formed by the disintegration of the Earth had begun to hit the sun.

They are faster and will reach the Sun faster than the wreckage planet.

As a result, the sun's radiation power increases. Until the largest debris planet hits, the sun will start to rage completely.

This deepened the sense of crisis in Chen Yue's heart a little more.

In fact, not only the sun, but every planet in the solar system cannot escape the fate of being hit by the debris of the earth. During the time he passed by Venus, he noticed a certain color change and increased activity in the Venusian atmosphere, which was obviously caused by the impact of the Earth's debris.

Not only that, but without the Earth, the gravitational pattern of the planets of the entire solar system will also be affected.

In the original billions of years, after continuous gravitational battles, the orbits of the great planets have long been stabilized. But now, with the sudden loss of the Earth's ring, the previously stable gravitational pattern will once again be chaotic.

In the next tens of millions of years, the orbits of the remaining seven planets may change.

However, this change will not be too obvious in a short period of time, and it will not have any impact on Chen Yue, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

And so the time passed quietly. A few months later, the Glowing spacecraft skimmed through its original Earth orbit.

At a distance of thousands to tens of thousands of kilometers, Chen Yue observed many large and small earth wrecks.

After the disintegration of the Earth, a considerable part of the debris will scatter and fly away, and some of the debris will remain in its original orbit and eventually form an asteroid convergence point, like a belt around the sun.

Between Mars and Jupiter there is an asteroid belt with at least millions of asteroids of varying sizes. The asteroid belt formed by the disintegration of the Earth will undoubtedly be much larger than that asteroid belt.

Because the mass of millions of asteroids in the Mars-Jupiter asteroid belt combined is only about 0.15% of the mass of the original Earth. Although the disintegration of the earth has lost most of its mass, the mass that remains in the original orbit still has about 29% of the earth's mass, according to Chen Yue's estimates.

The difference between the two is almost two hundred times.

Fortunately, even so, because the universe is too vast and vast, the material here in the Earth's asteroid belt is still very sparse. The Glowing Confusion spaceship passed through here, and there was no other trouble other than being hit by some dust-level dust.

In the next few months, it was time to slow down.

Chen Yue cautiously manipulated the Glowing Confusion spacecraft to change its attitude, started the engine and began to slow down.

As the precious fuel burns, the ship's velocity relative to Mars gradually decreases, and when it descends to a suitable speed, it meets Mars.

So the spacecraft entered the orbit of Mars again.

After nearly two years, Chen Yue finally came to this dark red planet again. And this time, it was like a world away from the last time.
