Chapter 261 The first asteroid capture!

On Mars, these days are very lively. As the science summit unfolds, the entire base and the Tissot are almost boiling.

This is the second day of the science summit. After the second half of more than 2 hours of science summit exchanges, Toni, Xu Shuwei and others still have more to say.

Chen Mengchuan found them with a smile: "We are about to start capturing the first asteroid!"

Xu Shuwei was shocked, his pupils widened a little: "Really? Are you going to start capturing the first asteroid?"

"It will arrive soon, and our operators will soon enter the manual operation to capture, let's go and have a look together." Chen Mengchuan said with a smile.

"Must!" Xu Shuwei laughed, and a group of people quickly headed towards the main control room.

After arriving in the main control room, Chen Mengchuan looked at the fake 3D rendering of the asteroid belt on the screen and waited quietly.

The asteroid belt is a dense area of ​​asteroids in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid to be captured this time is a 5.32-kilometer-diameter olive-shaped asteroid. More like a giant meteorite.

Although the asteroid has been accurately positioned this time, it took several days to find and arrive around the asteroid.

Many asteroids in the asteroid belt are mostly composed of rock or metal, and they also revolve around the sun. Chen Mengchuan's many astronomical telescopes have further confirmed the number of asteroids in the entire asteroid belt during these times. More than 3.16 million pieces on the Internet!Its total mass far exceeds previous human estimates, and it is likely to reach a level of more than 420 times the mass of the earth!Its degree of development is unimaginably high.

"There are still 782719 kilometers away from the target number LKUJ-1200 asteroid, continue to open space travel to approach!"

A huge asteroid appeared on the screen in front of everyone's eyes. Its shape was like a huge irregular and distorted olive. There was no other substance around it, and it was flying slowly and alone.

Although it looks slow, it is actually not slow at all.

"It's time to go!" Li Shuo, the commander in charge of the asteroid capture spacecraft, shouted.

Then the asteroid capture spacecraft quickly confirmed the coordinate data of both parties, and soon a light blue source point circle was activated and opened, the asteroid capture spacecraft quickly started, driven by the powerful anti-gravity technology, the entire asteroid The capture spacecraft quickly flew into the source point circle that was already warm!

The next moment!The video camera device and the asteroid capture spacecraft passed through the source point circle. In an instant, the entire screen suddenly turned gray and black. The camera device quickly refocused, and an extremely huge meteorite appeared in front of everyone!

"I hope this will be an M-type metal-bearing asteroid!" Xu Shuwei said.

Chen Mengchuan smiled: "Brother Xu, these asteroids are basically composed of rocks or metals. Generally, there are only three types of carbonaceous, silicate and metal. Judging from NASA data, the probability is Very high, and our recent observations and discoveries have also drawn the same conclusion. And this asteroid numbered LKUJ-782719 is an M-type metal-bearing asteroid in observation! So we get a The probability of a complete M-type metal-bearing asteroid is very high."

"Even if this asteroid is not a complete M-type metal-bearing asteroid, there will still be a large amount of carbonaceous and silicate, which will be helpful to us. But this probability is very small, less than 7% probability .”

After Chen Mengchuan finished speaking, the asteroid capture spacecraft on the screen quickly moved.

"Check the direction of the spacecraft, start the capture plan, and confirm the capture point!" Commander Li Shuo shouted again.

Under the instruction, the asteroid capture spacecraft quickly flew around the asteroid.

A few minutes of flight time, a little bit of data was collected.

"Brother Chuan! The data collection is complete!" Li Shuo turned to Chen Mengchuan and said.

The picture on the big screen changed, and a huge three-dimensional asteroid was outlined.

Soon more data was presented on the screen.

Huge length, width, and volume data make everyone full of expectations.

50.965 cubic kilometers!

Undoubtedly a very large volume.

"The core capture point has been confirmed!" the voice of the artificial intelligence Yue'er sounded.

On the huge three-dimensional asteroid imaging map, the position of a pit is marked out.

"Determine the capture point, start capturing, prepare to drill, and start analyzing the composition of the asteroid at the same time!"

Chen Mengchuan and the others looked at the screen quietly. The asteroid capture spacecraft flew to the concave point on the [-]D imaging, and then quickly fell down!

The asteroid capture spacecraft did not stop. After a slight tremor, dozens of fine mechanical arms slowly stretched out.Then the high-hardness drill bit above the mechanical arm was activated instantly, rotated, and drilled in almost instantly like inserting tofu.

Robotic arms at different angles are drilling holes very quickly.

On the 50D imaging, the screen is stretched quickly, and after sliding, the drilling track appears.In the picture, it looks like dozens of needles are piercing into a translucent potato. From the data panel, each hole has been drilled nearly [-] meters deep!

"The drilling work is complete! Release the gravitational bee swarm, locate the attachment point of the gravitational bee swarm, and start the full gravitational coverage." Li Shuo's voice echoed in the main control room. Following his voice, the dense black spots were quickly covered. released.

The screen was widened, and there were hundreds of specially made gravitational bees the size of a palm.

After these gravitational bees dispersed, they quickly attached to the ground according to the space coordinates, and then began to drill holes, nailing their roots to the surface of the asteroid.

A large number of gravitational bees began to attach more and more, and it didn't take long to almost cover the entire asteroid.

The next moment, all the gravitational bees bloomed, like flowers, and slowly stretched out pieces of high-intensity gravitational nodes folded in their tail pouches. Each gravitational bee colony spread out to a size of one square meter.

"The gravitational bee swarm is attached! Start rotating and proofreading!"

After Li Shuo's voice fell, the screen changed again, and a huge virtual star map appeared. One point marked the clear position of Mars, and the other with an arrow was the current asteroid capture spacecraft.

As the gravitational bee started to work, the direction was quickly rotated, and a beautiful arc appeared on the virtual star map.

"The return route has been confirmed, ready to open the space source point circle. The plan will arrive at the Mars base in 9 days!"

Li Shuo's voice was full of strength.
