Chapter 475 Asteroid Belt [-]
"This is very normal. Although the number of asteroids, large and small, in the asteroid belt is very large, in fact the asteroids in the asteroid belt are not dense. On the contrary, the asteroid belt is quite wide and not crowded. After all, the asteroid belt has a width of nearly 1.5 astronomical units, not to mention that we have just entered the asteroid belt at this time and are still at the outermost edge of the asteroid belt." Another astronomy staff member answered.

As the spacecraft continued to fly towards the interior of the asteroid belt, it took nearly a day or so before they discovered the first asteroid with a diameter of more than one meter within 1200 kilometers around the spacecraft.

"Report to the captain! An asteroid was found in front of us on the left. This asteroid has a diameter of 3.2 meters, a weight of about 500 tons, and a speed of 18 kilometers per second.

According to the analysis of the spectrometer, this small star is mainly composed of iron, magnesium, aluminum and other elements. According to the orbit of this asteroid, the orbit of this asteroid overlaps with the travel route of our spacecraft to a certain extent. It will It will pass 50 kilometers ahead of us. "At this moment, the very radar soldiers reported loudly to Wang Weihui.

When the radar soldiers finished their report, all the experts on the spaceship cheered up. After more than a day of entering the asteroid belt, they finally found an asteroid with a diameter of more than one meter. is very good news.

"Immediately monitor this asteroid closely, and report immediately if the orbit of this asteroid [-] is abnormal, and at the same time immediately launch a detection satellite to conduct the deepest exploration of this asteroid. The space plane will set off immediately, go to this small star, and scan this asteroid." At the same time, Wang Wei also immediately ordered.

"Captain Wang! According to the data just now, the diameter of this asteroid is about three meters, and its weight is about 500 tons, so I hope to capture and dissect this asteroid." At this moment, the asteroid on the spacecraft An expert in astrophysics, hurriedly said.

"What? Captured this asteroid, are you kidding? You know, this asteroid weighs more than 500 tons, and the speed of the asteroid has reached 17 kilometers per second. At the same time, this asteroid is also moving at a speed of It rotates at a speed of one rotation every 10 minutes, so it is very difficult for our Ziweixing 1 spacecraft to capture this asteroid.

And even if our spacecraft is capable of capturing this asteroid, the risk of capturing this asteroid is very high, so I don't think capturing this asteroid is a good idea.

What's more, our spacecraft does not have professional asteroid capture equipment and tools. At the same time, our spacecraft is only a one-week scientific research spacecraft. Although the strength of the spacecraft is enough to not make this asteroid, our spacecraft does not have place could hold an asteroid this massive. "Wang Wei said.

After hearing Wang Wei's words, all the experts and scholars in the spaceship fell silent. After all, what Wang Wen said was true. Their spaceship is a scientific research ship, and they want to capture such a large asteroid. , its risk factor is very high, once the operation is not good, the ship will definitely be destroyed.

What's more, the entire human civilization does not have any experience in capturing asteroids, so for safety reasons, they are indeed not suitable for capturing such a large asteroid.

Seeing that everyone was a little frustrated, Wang Wei said again: "Everyone, don't be discouraged. Although this small star, due to its large size and weight, cannot be captured with our current capabilities, but for those with a size less than 1.5 meters , Asteroids weighing less than 300 tons and traveling at speeds less than 16 kilometers per second are still capable of capturing."

After listening to Wang Wei's words, the experts and students in the spacecraft were refreshed. Indeed, they were really stuck in a dead end before. The capabilities of scientific research and investigation ships are not yet equipped to assist the asteroid.

However, they forgot that as a scientific investigation spacecraft, there are many types of scientific research missions to be performed, including the exploration and research of asteroids, so the Ziweixing No. [-] scientific research vessel also has a capture volume. Capabilities for smaller asteroids.

Afterwards, all the experts and scholars in the spaceship cheered up again, continued to operate the spaceship, and flew towards the interior of the asteroid.

Of course, they did not give up on the asteroid they encountered before, and investigated the resources on that asteroid.

So they also sent several unmanned probes to carry small ground-penetrating probes to the asteroid for landing detection.

The unmanned probes that were sent out soon came near the asteroid, and these unmanned probes simultaneously launched a small ground-penetrating probe to the asteroid.

The small ground-penetrating detector is improved according to the principle of ground-penetrating bombs of various countries on the earth.

When these probes are launched, they will use the rocket on the probe to accelerate. When the speed reaches a certain level, the probe will use the hard alloy material at the head of the rocket to directly cut into the interior of the asteroid, and then the probe will The interior of the asteroid will be scanned, and the chemical elements inside the asteroid and the internal structure of the asteroid will be detected.

When the detection is completed, the detector will transmit the data back from the antenna at the end of the detector.

"Captain, the probe we launched on that asteroid has returned data. According to the data analysis, this asteroid contains a lot of ice. At the same time, this asteroid also contains a certain amount of iron, but The number is not very large, and based on a comprehensive judgment, this is just the most common asteroid in the asteroid belt.” Soon some experts analyzed the data sent back and came to a conclusion.

"Very good! Although this is just the most typical asteroid in the asteroid belt, it is of great value for us to understand the asteroid belt in our solar system, and immediately send the data back to Earth." Wang Wei said.

Although there is also a large central computer on the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft, in fact, the computing power of the central computer on the spacecraft is far from being comparable to that of the central intelligent computer inside the Colorful Stone Group on Earth, so for these data It is best to send it back to the earth for the central computer of the Colorful Stone Group to analyze.

"Yes! Captain!"

"Captain! An asteroid was found 18 kilometers below us. According to the data analysis of the central computer, the asteroid has a maximum diameter of 1.8 meters and a weight of about 150 tons."
