Just when Zhang Yi and others were participating in the trial operation of Nantianmen, the Ziweixing-1 spacecraft far away in the asteroid belt had officially entered the central zone of the asteroid belt.

Moreover, the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft is currently shuttled in the asteroid belt at a speed of about 17 kilometers per second. During the shuttle process, all scanning instruments are turned on, scanning nearby small objects.

The various resources contained in the planet.

At the same time, with the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft as the center, various types of detectors and various intelligent satellites are scattered within a radius of 300,000 kilometers.

In fact, only WeChat 1 came to the center of the small new belt. In addition to detecting the resource content of various asteroids, they were also tasked with searching for several larger asteroids in the asteroid belt. Among them

This includes tasks such as searching for Ceres, Zeng Shen, Juno, Pallas, etc.

Moreover, they were asked to search for base locations on these asteroids where large war facilities could be deployed, and at the same time, they were asked to survey and map the map data on these asteroids for subsequent deployment of various military facilities.

Although they have found Pallas in the past period of time, there are several other large asteroids that have not been found, especially Ceres, the largest in the asteroid bag.

"How is the situation? Have you found the target star?" Wang Wei, the captain of the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft, looked at the virtual screen in the bridge and asked the monitoring personnel of the very nearby environment.

"Report Captain, no target planet has been found yet!"

"Keep looking!" he ordered me to continue.

At this moment, the intelligent detector monitor who only WeChat the No. 1 spacecraft reported loudly: "Report to the captain, Clairvoyance II intelligent detector, No. 1078 detector has lost contact, the specific situation is unknown, whether to send other

The detector is going to find out?"

"What? Another detector has lost contact. How many is this already?" Wang Wei was a little depressed after hearing the report from the detector monitors, because they had already lost a lot since entering the core of the asteroid belt.

According to his estimate, there are at least nearly a hundred detectors. How many detectors are basically lost every day?

You know, they only have the WeChat 1 spacecraft. Although it has a displacement of more than 4,000 tons, the material that can actually be carried in the spacecraft is not much, so the smart detectors they bring are not very many.

In addition to the ones they used after arriving in the asteroid belt, the number of detectors in the entire spacecraft is now very small. If the loss continues like this, it won't be long before they will have no detectors available.

However, although Wang Wei was a little heartbroken about the loss of the detector, the cause of the loss of the detector still needed to be investigated, so he ordered: "Immediately send nearby detectors to the accident site to check the loss of the detector.

reasons."

"It's the captain!" After saying that, he immediately performed manual operations to adjust the navigation trajectory of a detector near the detector that was lost due to this reason, and headed to the location of the accident.

Although humans were born in the solar system, humans are still relatively unfamiliar with places in the solar system other than the earth, especially the asteroid belt. After all, the orbits of these asteroids in the asteroid belt are very unstable and are extremely prone to collisions.

, it is precisely because of this situation that these detectors are prone to encounter various accidents after entering the asteroid belt.

Not to mention these small detectors, because these small detectors are relatively small in size. As long as an asteroid larger than 1 cm hits these detectors, it can cause fatal damage to the detectors.

In fact, let alone these detectors, even the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft they were on encountered danger many times after being escorted by so many nearby detectors and taking them deep into the core of the asteroid belt.

Fortunately, they all just had a near miss and successfully destroyed or avoided the asteroids that posed a fatal threat to them.

Soon, a nearby detector arrived at the initial location. However, because the Ziweixin-1 spacecraft and these detectors were shuttling through the asteroid belt at a high speed of 17 kilometers per second,

By the time the nearby detector arrived at the detection site, more than half an hour had passed, so it was very difficult to find the specific cause of the detector's insomnia at this time. They could only analyze the cause of the detector's loss based on the detector's wreckage data.

,

So when a nearby detector came to the site of the accident of the previous detector, it immediately analyzed the data of the detector and transmitted all the data back to the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft.

Soon, the central computer of the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft came to a conclusion based on these data,

"Captain, the spacecraft's central computer analyzed the data sent back by the detector. It is more than 90% likely that the detector was hit by an asteroid fragment or a meteorite, which caused the damage to the detector." A man from the spacecraft said.

The staff on board reported the specific situation to Wang Wei.

Wang Wei was not surprised by this crew member's report, because he had heard too many such words during this period, but the procedures that should be executed still had to be executed, so he asked the correspondent to analyze the data

Sent back to the moon base.

"Captain! To be honest, these detectors and detection satellites are too fragile. I really hope that the next time they come out, the base can make some corrections to the flaw that the detectors are easily damaged by impact, so that these detectors can at least

Can withstand the impact of meteorite fragments or asteroids below 5 cm.

After all, if it were not for this reason, our spacecraft would not have been in danger due to the damage of the detector in the previous few times." said the data detector of the detector.

"Indeed, I have already reported this proposal to the Lunar Headquarters. I think the situation will definitely be much better next time we come out." Wang Wei replied.

Although the center of the asteroid belt is not full of asteroids as people imagine, the number of asteroids here is indeed much higher compared to the periphery of the asteroid belt, and they can still be seen from time to time.

Some larger asteroids.
