"Flying is no problem, eh? You don't want to go by yourself, do you?" Seeing Zhang Wen frowning, Chief Engineer Li interrupted and asked worriedly.
"Of course. Is it difficult to operate?" Zhang Wen nodded immediately.
"Well, it's not difficult, but..." Chief Engineer Li looked at Zhang Wen hesitantly.
"There's nothing to worry about. I'm the best candidate for the operation, and no matter where I am, I can return safely." Zhang Wen waved his hand and said.
"Well, okay." Chief Engineer Li thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Zhang Wen has a space world, so if any danger occurs, he can still return safely.
So, under the guidance of several people, Zhang Wen put on the latest space suit and got into the exploration spacecraft.
Through constant practice in the space world, he quickly became proficient in the operation.
Li Wenlong, who rushed over after hearing the news, had no choice but to let him do what he wanted after trying to persuade him many times in vain.
At the end of 03, I spent Christmas with my wives.
Without notifying his family, Zhang Wen took various means of transportation and arrived at the uninhabited area deep in the desert alone.
"Is it ready?" After entering the space and coming to the underground base in Antarctica again, Zhang Wen asked with a little excitement while looking at the exploration spacecraft that had been overhauled.
"Okay, no problem." Mark nodded.
"Well, take care!" Zhang Wen said a few words to the researchers who came to see him off, and then disappeared along with the spacecraft.
Then he appeared in the uninhabited area alone with his spaceship.
After opening the hatch and entering the spacecraft, he first put on his space suit.
In fact, there is enough oxygen in the spacecraft that there is no need for a space suit.
However, this is the first time humans have set foot in the asteroid belt, so it is better to be safe than sorry as we are faced with unknown dangers.
"Base, do you hear me?" After putting on the quantum communicator, Zhang Wen began to call.
"I heard it very clearly. Keep in touch anytime." The person opposite was Chief Engineer Li.
"Okay, I'm ready to start." Zhang Wen replied.
"Okay, have a safe trip." Chief Engineer Li seemed a little nervous.
"Buzz~~~" The teardrop-shaped exploration spacecraft began to slowly rise into the air, and the landing gear at the bottom was retracted.
"..Swoosh~~~" Then, the spacecraft rushed directly into the sky at a speed far exceeding all existing aircraft this year.
"Base, base, now the speed is 1200 km/s, everything is normal."
"The base understands!"
"Base, base, now the speed is 2000 km/s, everything is normal."
"The base understands!"
"Base, base, now the speed is 5000 km/s, everything is normal."
"The base understands!"
...
After breaking through the atmosphere of the blue planet, the speed of the spacecraft was constantly being refreshed.
Looking at the blue star gradually moving away, Zhang Wen felt extremely excited.
He never expected that he would have the opportunity to fly a spaceship and travel in space. He couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
"Whoo~~~"
"Base, base, the current speed is 10 km/s, everything is normal."
"The base understands!"
"Base, base, the current speed is 29 km/s, everything is normal. (Qian Zhao)"
"Base understands! It's ok, keep it up!"
"understand!"
Finally, Zhang Wen stopped accelerating and continued to approach his destination at this sub-light speed.
His destination is the asteroid belt, a dense region of asteroids in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
He will only know which asteroid it is after he arrives.
Because the distance is still too far, he only has a vague feeling.
20 minutes later, Zhang Wen crossed a distance of 3.7 million kilometers and arrived at the asteroid belt.
Looking at the countless asteroids in front of him, Zhang Wen began to search slowly.
As for safety, he had already tested the spacecraft.
It can be said that he has not yet seen a way to leave a mark on the surface of the spacecraft.
Not even a nuclear bomb.
Not to mention the asteroids made of various elements.
Chapter 553: Spiritual Star Worth One Trillion Billions
The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
There are millions of asteroids in total.
It also serves as a natural dividing line between the inner and outer solar systems.
This place is about 3.15 million to 4.8 million kilometers away from the sun.
Previously, astronomers believed that the asteroids here were all brought from a certain planet.
The planet was either shattered by a comet or a currently unexplained explosion occurred inside it.
But in fact, the current data all point to one possibility.
That is, these asteroids are remnants of the birth of the solar system.
They were originally destined to combine with each other to form a new planet.
You should know that if all the asteroids in this area are added together, they can form a planet with a mass comparable to that of the Blue Star.
But Jupiter's rapid formation and its powerful gravity interfered with the motion of these asteroids, making their orbits more disordered and unstable.
The result is that these 807 celestial bodies did not merge with each other, but collided with each other, and their possibility of forming new planets was interrupted.
These asteroids actually pose a considerable threat to the Blue Planet. If one of them were to deviate from its current orbit and collide with the Blue Planet, all humanity would be destroyed.
Fortunately, the gravity of Jupiter and Mars prevents them from leaving their orbits.
What Zhang Wen is trying to do now is to find his star among these millions of asteroids.
Psyche is the asteroid that Zhang Wen is looking for.
Psyche is an irregularly shaped asteroid in the asteroid belt. Its mass is not small in the asteroid belt, accounting for 0.6% of the total mass.
Because of its irregular shape and not being a rough sphere, Psyche does not have a so-called diameter.
Psyche's dimensions are expressed in cubic terms: 240 km long, 185 km wide, and 145 km thick (bbff).
The material that makes up this asteroid is almost entirely metallic.
Some areas on the surface are enriched with large amounts of metals such as gold, platinum and copper, and from the outside it looks like a "golden star".
Preliminary estimates put the total gold reserves at tens of billions of tons, worth one trillion U.S. dollars.
But these metals are not what Zhang Wen wants.
What attracted him above should be something similar to the Star Stone.
"found it!"
After skillfully using the equipment on the spacecraft and searching for a long time, Zhang Wen finally locked onto the location of Spirit Star.
The spaceship also began to approach slowly, not daring to relax for a moment.
Before coming, he was told not to disrupt the orbit of existing asteroids.
If it is damaged, it will definitely cause a chain reaction.
Whether it will head towards the Blue Star by then is something no one can say for sure.
Fortunately, the spacecraft was precise enough and quickly calculated the corresponding forward trajectory.
Zhang Wen did not have the confidence to operate the machine manually, so he left everything to the control of the intelligent computer on the spacecraft.
"呲~~~"
After spending more than two hours, he finally made the spacecraft hover more than ten meters above Psyche and followed the trajectory of Psyche.
Zhang Wen quickly put on his helmet, turned on the oxygen supply, and secured his space suit to one end of the spacecraft.
"Swish~~" He kicked his feet lightly and ran towards the ground of Spirit God Star.
It looks small from a distance, but you will realize how big this planet is when you see it in person.
Since he was unable to cover the entire Spiritual Star with his mind, he could only touch it with his hands to see if he could take it into the space.
"Collect~~~~"
"Collect~~~~"
"Collect it~~~~"
Unfortunately, when his nose was about to bleed, there was still no movement from Lingshen Star.
With no other choice, he could only return to the spaceship and continue moving in the direction guided by his heart.
A celestial body of 240 kilometers is really not something he can collect right now.
Soon, he arrived at the place where he was guided.
Unlike other places on Psyche that exuded a metallic luster, the place he arrived was pitch black.
It feels like it's embedded in.
Star stone!
It is indeed the Star Stone.
And it is also the largest star stone he has discovered so far.
Judging from the visual, it is at least ten kilometers long, wide and high.
Only when it is this big can it make him feel something.
However, Zhang Wen was a little nervous.
He had never collected anything this big before, and he didn't know what kind of changes it would bring to the space world.
But he was destined to not be able to bear the stimulation and fainted for sure.
"Base, base, do you hear me?" Zhang Wen began to call.
"Hush~~~I hear you, hush, please speak." Perhaps because the distance was too far, there was a lot of noise in the headphones.
"Let all the people in the space world withdraw. The space world is about to undergo a major change."
"Let all the people in the space world withdraw. The space world is about to undergo a major change."
"Let all the people in the space world withdraw. The space world is about to undergo a major change."
Zhang Wen was afraid that the base could not be taken back, so he repeated it three times.
"Understood. Hiss, hiss, it will take 12 hours. Hiss," the people from the base replied.
"Okay, I'll wait!".
Chapter 554: Collecting the Heavenly Star Stone Mountain
Zhang Wen was not idle while waiting.
"Hey~~~"
"Boom~~~"
"Hey~~~"
"Boom~~~"
