The Ziweixing-1 spacecraft is the same as other aerospace aircraft. After flying out of the moon, it must first fly around the moon in the orbit of the moon, and then fly in the direction of Mars. The total tonnage of the Ziweixing-1

Its size and size far exceed that of various types of aerospace planes, but in essence, Ziweixing-1 is actually no different from other aerospace planes.

After all, humans have not yet mastered anti-gravity technology, so they can only do this. When humans can use anti-gravity technology in the future, then the spacecraft does not need to orbit the moon and rely on the moon's gravity to gain sufficient speed, and can directly move towards its goal.

Fly away.

After obtaining sufficient initial speed, the spacecraft after Ziweixing turned on the full power of the spacecraft engine. With the powerful power provided by the reactor inside the spacecraft, the spacecraft engine caused the spacecraft's speed to increase rapidly.

The first investigation target of the Ziweixing-1 spacecraft is Mars. The closest distance between Mars and the earth is more than 50 million kilometers, and the farthest distance is more than 400 million kilometers. Of course, the closest distance between the two is not every year

There are all of them, but the closest one only comes once every 15 years.

Now the distance between Mars and the Earth is not the farthest, but it is not the closest either. At this time, the distance between Mars and the Earth is even almost 100 million kilometers, such a long distance.

Even if the maximum speed of the Ziweixing-1 spacecraft has exceeded 100 kilometers per second, and it flies at the maximum speed throughout the entire journey, it will take more than ten days.

However, the spacecraft not only has to accelerate and decelerate during flight, but it is also impossible to fly at full speed throughout the entire process.

After all, this is the first trial flight of the Ziweixing-1 spacecraft. In addition to the importance of this expedition to the earth, for safety reasons, it is impossible for them to start flying at full speed.

According to the plan between Zhang Yi and the others, the fastest speed of the Ziweixing-1 research ship on its way to Mars will not exceed 50 kilometers per second. In other words, the Ziweixing-1 spacecraft will take at least 20 days.

It takes time to reach Mars.

More than a month after the spacecraft left the moon and flew toward Mars, the speed of the spacecraft had reached 30 kilometers per second due to continuous driving.

However, after reaching this speed, the captain of the spacecraft ordered to temporarily shut down the engine of the spacecraft, let the spacecraft fly according to inertia, and issued an order to check the condition of the spacecraft.

After all, they are still very close to the moon and have only flown out for an hour. Checking the condition of the spacecraft at this time can minimize the risk to the lives of the crew. If the spacecraft is in bad condition at this time, they can return immediately.

Moon, performing repairs on the spacecraft.

After all, this is a spaceship that has just left the factory. No one can guarantee that this spacecraft is 100% safe, not even the designers and manufacturers of the spacecraft can guarantee it.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Under normal circumstances, after the spacecraft leaves the factory, it will fly many times just like the aircraft in the Earth era, find out the various performance limits and defects of the spacecraft, and make improvements.

Serve, but today's human civilization simply does not have so much time.

After all, according to normal circumstances, it will take several years to complete various test flights, improvements, and data integration. Human civilization simply cannot wait that long.

Therefore, after the spacecraft is completed, scientific research on Mars will be carried out immediately, and the performance of the spacecraft can also be tested.

More than an hour later, the technical workers responsible for inspecting the spacecraft finally said: "Captain Wang, the inspection of the spacecraft is completed and everything is normal."

After listening to the crew's words, Wang Wei was still a little worried, and personally looked at the data on the data platform. After finding that it was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to the correspondent: "Correspondent, transmit the spacecraft data back to the headquarters.

, and during our future inspections, the spacecraft's data will be transmitted back every eight hours, so that the headquarters can keep track of the status of the spacecraft at any time."

"Okay! Captain." After saying that, the correspondent immediately opened the data transmission system and prepared to transmit the data back.

After giving the big order to the correspondent, Wang Wei ordered the fire controller of the spacecraft: "Fire controller, get ready. In ten minutes, we will arrive at the launch point of the first relay communication satellite. You must

It is necessary to accurately launch relay satellites and space navigation satellites."

"Yes! Sir!" After listening to Wang Wei's words, the fire controller replied.

Although the responsibility of the fire controllers is basically to launch various weapons on the spacecraft, since this spacecraft is not a battleship, but a scientific research ship, the tasks of the fire controllers are not only to

In addition to controlling the weapons of the spacecraft, there are also other material delivery and launch tasks, all of which are operated by the fire controller.

In fact, during this expedition, in addition to the exploration of Mars, they also had other arduous tasks. For example, while on the road alone, there were hundreds of satellite launch missions. In addition,

, they also need to record and transmit back various electromagnetic and light wave environments during the flight.

Fortunately, this spacecraft has a tonnage of up to 4,000 tons and can carry a large amount of supplies. Otherwise, it would not be able to accommodate so many satellites.

As the captain, Wang Wei always pays attention to every subtle change in the spacecraft's flight. He also pays attention to the time, as he is about to arrive.

The spacecraft was about to arrive at the scheduled launch location, so Wang Wei immediately loudly issued various orders to the crew of the spacecraft.

"Report immediately, the current speed of the spacecraft!"

"The current flying speed of the spacecraft is 30 kilometers per second, which is suitable for launching satellites."

"Fire controllers, please pay attention. In thirty seconds, the first relay satellite will be launched!"

"yes!"

"Open the satellite delivery cabin, launch 10,9...3,2,1,0!"

Following Wang Wei's order, the fire controller immediately pressed the button to launch the satellite, and the first communication relay satellite successfully flew to the predetermined solar orbit.

Since their location at this time is far away from the moon, the satellite's motion around the sun is pulled by the gravitational pull of the earth and the moon.

When the first satellite was launched, Wang Wei and the others did not stop what they were doing, but started launching the second satellite. However, this satellite was not a communication relay satellite, but a solar system navigation satellite.

In order for human spacecraft to fly better in the solar system in the future, it is necessary to establish a navigation mechanism. Fortunately, because their colorful tiles have now produced photonic chips and photonic components, they no longer use electronic components and electronic chips.
