"This is very normal. Although the total number of asteroids of all sizes in the asteroid belt is very large, the asteroids in the asteroid belt are actually not densely packed. On the contrary, the asteroid belt is quite vast 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 into 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 1,200 kilometers around the spacecraft.

"Report Captain! An asteroid was found in front of us on the left. The diameter of this asteroid is 3.2 meters, the weight is about 500 tons, and the speed is 18 kilometers per second.

According to spectrometer analysis, the main components of this small star are iron, magnesium, aluminum and other elements. According to the trajectory of this asteroid, there is a certain overlap between the trajectory of this asteroid and the route of our spacecraft. It will

It will pass 500,000 kilometers ahead of us." At this moment, the very radar soldier loudly reported to Wang Weihui.

When the radar soldier finished his report, all the experts on the spacecraft were refreshed. After entering the outer reaches of the asteroid belt for more than a day, they finally discovered an asteroid with a diameter of more than one meter. This was absolutely incredible for them.

It's very good news.

"Immediately monitor this asteroid closely and report immediately if there is an abnormality in the orbit of this asteroid. At the same time, immediately launch a detection satellite to conduct the deepest exploration of this asteroid. At the same time, the Overlord gun-class spacecraft carried on board

The spacecraft immediately set off to go to this small star and scan the asteroid." At the same time, Wang Wei also immediately gave the order.

"Captain Wang! According to the data just now, the diameter of this asteroid is a little more than three meters, and its weight is about 500 tons, so I hope to capture and dissect this asteroid." At this moment, aboard the spacecraft,

An expert in astrophysics spoke hurriedly.

"What? Are you joking about capturing this asteroid? You know, the weight of this asteroid has exceeded 500 tons, and the speed of the asteroid has reached 17 kilometers per second. At the same time, the asteroid is also moving at a speed of 17 kilometers per second.

It spins at a rate 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 has the ability to capture this asteroid, the risk is very high when capturing this asteroid, 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 spacecraft is strong enough not to capture this asteroid, there is no such thing in our spacecraft.

The place can accommodate such a huge asteroid." Wang Wei said.

After listening to Wang Wei's words, all the experts and scholars in the spacecraft fell silent. After all, what Wang Wen said was indeed true. Their spacecraft was a scientific research vessel and they wanted to capture such a large asteroid.

, its risk factor is very high. Once it is not operated properly, the ship will definitely be destroyed and people will be killed.

What's more, the entire human civilization has no 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 discouraged, Wang Wei said again: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. Although this small star is too large in size and weight and cannot be captured with our current capabilities, for a small star with a size less than 1.5 meters

, it is still possible to capture asteroids that weigh less than 300 tons and have a speed of less than 16 kilometers per second."

After listening to Wang Wei's words, the experts and students in the spacecraft were refreshed. Indeed, they had really fallen into a trap before. Although they had previously discovered that the asteroid was due to its excessive size and weight, Ziweixing 1

The scientific research vessel is not yet capable of assisting that asteroid.

However, they forgot that as a scientific research spacecraft, it has to perform many types of scientific research tasks, including the exploration and research of asteroids, so the Ziweixing-1 scientific research ship also has a capture volume.

capabilities of smaller asteroids.

Afterwards, all the experts and scholars in the spacecraft cheered up and continued to operate the spacecraft and flew into the asteroid.

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

Therefore, they also dispatched several unmanned probes, small earth-penetrating probes, to the asteroid for logging-in detection.

The unmanned probes that were dispatched soon arrived near the asteroid, and at the same time, these unmanned probes launched small earth-penetrating probes towards the asteroid.

The small earth-penetrating detector is improved based on the principles of earth-penetrating bombs from various countries on the earth.

After these detectors are launched, they will use the rocket on the detector to accelerate. When the speed reaches a certain level, the detector will use the hard alloy material on the head of the rocket to directly cut into the interior of the asteroid, and then the detector

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 tail of the detector.

"Captain, the detector we launched on the asteroid has returned data. According to data analysis, this asteroid contains a large amount of ice. At the same time, this asteroid also contains a certain amount of iron element, but

The number is not very large. Based on comprehensive judgment, this is just the most common asteroid in the asteroid belt." Soon 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 to us in understanding the asteroid belt in our solar system, and the data will be immediately transmitted back to the 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 comparable to the central intelligent computer within the Colorful Stone Group on Earth, so for these data

It would be best to send it back to Earth for analysis by the central computer of the Colorful Stone Group.

"Yes! Captain!"
