Chapter 287 finally got something, and the situation was even more urgent
This means that at their current speed, it will take at least ten years to fly to the asteroid belt, and this is still calculated based on the nearest distance. If it's based on the farthest distance, it's doubled on the basis of this time!
Because the distance from the Earth to Mars is not fixed, the distance between the earth and Mars is only more than 100 million miles at the closest, and it can exceed 800 million miles at the farthest distance!
Xie Mingzhou couldn't bear to spend so much time on his way slowly, and he had to search and find on the way, and sometimes he had to stop to refine his energy to replenish his spiritual power, which actually took far more time than expected.
The three of the Phantom Lion Kings finally entered the Inheritance Hall again, and only released them when Xie Mingzhou stopped refining their energy to replenish their spiritual power, so the speed of their travel was amazingly fast.
Xie Mingzhou's divine thoughts cover a radius of seventy or eighty thousand miles at any time, and if nothing is found, he will teleport to the next location, and he can advance nearly a million miles in an hour!
But this kind of journey not only consumes spiritual power, but even the Yuan Shen can't bear it, so he will stop after teleporting for an hour and then spend four or five hours refining energy to replenish spiritual power. But even then, you can travel three or four million miles a day.
If it goes well, it will only take more than a month to get to Mars, plus it will take about ten months to reach the asteroid belt, and it will be possible to reach the destination in a year at most.
A few days later, Xie Mingzhou found that his spiritual power and soul power had increased slightly, which made him even happier, if he continued like this, even if he didn't find what he wanted in the asteroid belt, his trip would be worth it.
There was no thrill along the way, I didn't encounter any life, and I didn't encounter surprising discoveries, just boring hurriing, cultivating, cultivating and hurrying, more than a month later, Mars was still in sight, but it seemed to be a little bigger in the line of sight.
The distance has already exceeded 100 million miles, and Mars is still so far away, and there is only one reason: Mars is not in the nearest orbital distance.
If you don't pass through Mars and go directly to the asteroid belt, then the distance will not change much, but Xie Mingzhou has a great interest in this planet with the highest similarity to the earth.
Since the sixties of the last century, human scientists have been exploring Mars for decades, launching dozens of spacecraft to study the surface, geology and climate of Mars, including orbiting satellites, landers and rovers, but no more than one-third have succeeded.
Based on the images sent back by the probe, as well as the results of soil and rock analysis, scientists have confirmed that there is water on Mars. Water is a necessary condition for the formation of carbon-based life, and with water, it further indicates that there is a high probability of life or even complex life on Mars.
This aroused Xie Mingzhou's great curiosity, a planet with life would definitely give him more attention than a planet without life, and maybe he would be able to find a suitable place to cultivate there, which was much better than blindly looking in the void of the universe.
After another month, Xie Mingzhou finally set foot on Mars, but to his disappointment, this is basically a desert planet, with sand dunes and gravel on the surface, and no stable liquid water has been found on the surface of the planet, and the atmosphere dominated by carbon dioxide is thin and cold, and the sand and dust are suspended in it, and there are sandstorms from time to time.
This is not like a planet with advanced life, at least the environment on the surface of the planet is not suitable for human life!
The diameter of Mars is only half of the Earth, and the volume is only 15 percent, Xie Mingzhou released a divine thought, easily covering the entire surface of the planet, and sure enough, the polar crown formed by dry ice solidified by carbon dioxide was found at the north and south poles of Mars.
He gathered his divine thoughts and penetrated down from the Arctic dry ice, there was no soil under the 100-meter-thick dry ice, it was directly a rock layer, and the divine thoughts were like bamboos, and they passed through the entire planet in a short time.
The structure of Mars is not much different from that of the Earth, which is composed of the earth's crust, mantle, and core, the only difference is that Xie Mingzhou found a hollow "big stone ball" that stores a lot of liquid water and a narrow cave connected to this "big stone ball" in a rocky space in the earth's crust, with obvious artificial traces.
But now there is no breath of life here! Maybe there are some microorganisms and other things, but those are not within Xie Mingzhou's attention.
"This is an abandoned planet!" Xie Mingzhou came to a conclusion, but there was a slight regret in his heart, after all, this is a planet that humans have been exploring for decades, and now it is still spending a lot of money on exploration and research in this area.
"Hopefully, the ...... found in the asteroid belt. Now he can only pin his hopes on the next destination, and if he doesn't get a harvest in the asteroid belt, he will still continue to wander in the cosmic void.
The journey of more than 500 million miles seems too far away even for Xie Mingzhou now, but he has no choice!
There is no day in the void of the universe, only endless night, Xie Mingzhou is like a moth to the fire, constantly teleporting to the light in his mind without hesitation.
Gradually, small celestial bodies moving around the sun were discovered in the void, which should have reached the asteroid belt, but not yet the place with the most asteroids. The diameter of these small celestial bodies is several kilometers, and the small ones are not even visible to the naked eye, if it weren't for Xie Mingzhou's strong divine thoughts, it would be impossible to even find them.
These small bodies are too close to Jupiter to be disturbed by Jupiter's gravity to be agglomerated into a larger planet, and they orbit the Sun over and over again, but some of them will fly out of orbit and scatter, and if they are captured by the Earth, they will become meteors, and a very small number of them will become meteorites if they are not completely burned up.
Without Jupiter's interference, these asteroids would have come together to be the ninth planet in the solar system in addition to the eight planets, and these small bodies are the nucleus of this large planet!
Xie Mingzhou was pleasantly surprised to find that these asteroids actually contained energy! And the closer they got to the core of the asteroid belt, the more energy they contained became richer.
This is simply good news!
"After all, it won't be in vain, even if there is no other discovery, as long as all the energy contained in these asteroids is absorbed and refined, it will definitely be able to break through the realm, and then you can try to see if you can open the space passage to the fairy world!" Xie Mingzhou was secretly happy in his heart.
He began to make his way towards the core of the asteroid belt, absorbing the asteroids he encountered along the way.
There is no concept of time here, Xie Mingzhou only knows how to refine energy endlessly, but he finds that this speed is still too slow, and now he has refined thousands of asteroids, and he still hasn't accumulated enough spiritual power to break through the realm. 19610
