When they successfully captured the asteroid, Wang Wei and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were confident before capturing the asteroid, based on the original data calculations, such a large asteroid

There is still a certain failure rate in capturing planets. After all, this is the first time that their entire Colorful Stone Group, the entire Dahua Empire, and the entire human civilization have captured an asteroid in space.

So when the asteroid was taken back into the spacecraft, the experts on the spacecraft suddenly became excited and couldn't wait to get into the cabin where the asteroid was placed.

In fact, Wang Wei is also quite curious about this. You must know that it is just an asteroid, and its diameter is only 1.8 meters. Is there any need to be so excited? What's more, in the entire asteroid belt, like

There are so many asteroids like this, even if they are larger than this asteroid, their number cannot be counted.

Thinking of this, Wang Wei curiously asked an astrophysics expert who was preparing to go to the cabin to see the asteroid; "Excuse me, is this asteroid really that important to us? After all, we also have asteroids.

It’s not that I haven’t seen it before. A large number of meteorites fall into the earth every year, and most of these meteorites come from the asteroid belt. Is there any difference between this asteroid and those meteorites that fall into the earth?”

"Yes, Captain Wang! These asteroids in the asteroid belt are very different from the meteorites that fall into the earth. The meteorites that fall into the earth are actually burned by the high temperature of the atmosphere, impacted, etc.

So I can tell you for sure that these meteorites that fell on the earth have completely lost their original appearance, but these asteroids in the asteroid belt are different. These asteroids did not interact with the atmosphere due to the process of falling to the earth.

Friction leads to high temperature and high pressure burning, impact, etc. Therefore, these asteroids still exist in their original form, and there are many things in them that can be studied by us.

Not to mention anything else, many scientists on Earth believe that life in the universe should be universal, and life may even exist on some asteroids in space." The cosmic astronomer patiently said

Answer what Wang Wei said.

"So the most fundamental purpose of capturing this asteroid this time is not just to understand the composition of this asteroid, but also to find data and clues in this regard?" Wang Wei nodded, somewhat understanding.

said.

"Yes, the main purpose of capturing this little star is to find clues to life. It's just a pity that the size of this little star is too small. According to our calculations, there is life on this little planet.

The possibility is very small, so the hope is not great, but we still hope to find some clues on this asteroid."

Subsequently, Wang Wei followed these experts to the laboratory. At the same time, the asteroid captured by them had been transported to the laboratory and prepared for dissection.

Although the diameter of this asteroid is only 1.8 meters and its weight is not as heavy as previously calculated, just over 100 tons, the outside of this asteroid is also wrapped in a thick layer of ice.

However, after data analysis, this ice will be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, and then burned into water, and then stored. You must know that although the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft is much larger than its space shuttle,

But the engine used by the spacecraft also has water as the fuel medium.

At the same time, the life of the people in the spacecraft also requires a lot of water. Although the spacecraft has a complete water circulation system, the water circulated in the water circulation system is not liked by the crew members in the spacecraft. At the same time, there is always a smell when drinking.

It has a strange smell, so generally speaking, the water used by the crew will be directly discharged into the engine's fuel tank after treatment and directly used as engine fuel.

Soon, the ice blocks on the periphery of the asteroid were all cleaned up. However, nothing useful was detected during the inspection. It was only found that there was a large amount of cosmic dust in these ice blocks. But if you think about it,

Understand, after all, the vast universe is not empty. There are too many dusts floating in this vast universe that no one can see. Of course, most of these dusts are from the beginning of the formation of the solar system.

What remains.

However, when all the outer ice blocks were cleared away, only a mass of the core of the asteroid was left. But to the disappointment of the experts and scholars on the spacecraft, in the core of the asteroid

, no traces of life were found, not even the remains or organic matter of life.

Although no traces of gods living in the core of this asteroid have been found, the experts and scholars in the spacecraft are still interested and use a large number of instruments to examine the core of this asteroid.

After analyzing and obtaining the data, we can use these data to analyze the data information of the entire solar system at the beginning of its formation.

Of course, the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft did not stay where it was after capturing the asteroid, but continued to fly toward the interior of the asteroid belt.

After Wang Wei stayed in the laboratory for a while, he returned to the bridge of the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft and continued to direct the spacecraft forward.

In the following days, the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft continued to fly towards the inner circle of asteroids, and encountered all asteroids with a volume of more than 5 meters on the way. They directly used the locators launched by these asteroids.

In this way, when they come in the future, they can clearly know the location of these asteroids.

"Report to the Chief! An asteroid with a volume of at least more than 200 kilometers was found 2.8 million kilometers away from the front left side of the spacecraft. Do we want to detect it?" When Wang Wei just returned to the bridge that day, the spacecraft

Made a new discovery.

"What? Is an asteroid with a diameter of at least two hundred kilometers real?" After listening to the radar soldier's report, Wang Wei also perked up and asked excitedly.

You must know that since Ziweixing 1 entered the asteroid belt by spacecraft, the largest diameter of these asteroids discovered is only one or twenty kilometers. However, now they have finally discovered a small one with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers.

planet.

"Yes, Captain! Although the specific size of this asteroid cannot be determined due to the distance, the data fed back from the detection instrument shows that the diameter of this asteroid is at least 200 kilometers or more." Radar Soldier
