On the other hand, after the "Wentian" spacecraft and Liu Jin, who was performing the Helium-Collection Mission, were separated near the moon, the spacecraft activated four secondary engine boosters for the first time and accelerated to a terrifying speed of nearly 70,000 kilometers per hour, and moved along an orbital route of a large parabola.
After the sunshine time of the four earths.
"Crew, come and have a look." In the cockpit, Li Chuan looked at the deep space in front of the spacecraft and said to the communication public. The other 10 members then arrived at the cockpit one after another, and everyone looked towards the outer space ahead.
"2028, which makes me dream about..." Chu Siyuan said to himself. This may be the closest moment for humans to get a comet, and they are setting new records all the time. The 2028qa1 asteroid is 200,000 kilometers ahead. Under the vast universe, 200,000 kilometers are almost at hand.
It has four comet tails, which spread about 31 degrees, like a big fan. As for the length of the comet tail, it has exceeded 94 million kilometers, which is still the ordinary length, the largest, from beginning to end, even hundreds of millions of kilometers.
As for the asteroid of 2028qa1, its comet tail can only be extended by more than 3 million kilometers at most, because the limit of half a pound on Earth is its end point. If it does not hit the earth, the comet tail will be hundreds of millions of kilometers long.
At this time, Li Chuan was also very energetic and immediately summoned everyone to their respective jobs.
The asteroid ahead is advancing at a speed of 10.7 kilometers per second, and the "Asktian" spacecraft is almost twice its speed at this moment. It will take three hours to reduce the speed to close to the synchronized speed with the asteroid.
"What a skyrocketing girl!" The cockpit deputy looked at the comet getting closer and closer in front of him and couldn't help but say.
"She is very dirty!" I don't know who answered a sentence in the public frequency, which made the members laugh. In a sense, the comet is indeed very dirty. It mainly consists of water, ammonia, methane, cyanide, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and dust particles, making it a "dirty snowball".
"The speed, 40,000 kilometers per hour, dropped to the second cosmic speed."
Artificial intelligence voice broadcast, at this time, Li Chuan said: "Switch off the boost engine!"
At the same time, the distance between the "Wentian" spacecraft and the asteroid is only about 1,000 kilometers, and it cannot be approached anymore because it is too dangerous.
With the current relative distance, the crew on the spacecraft can clearly see that many parts of the surface of the asteroid are like volcanic eruptions, and white "air waves" gush out violently from the surface, often hundreds of kilometers, or even hundreds of kilometers.
As the sun continues to approach, the stronger the solar wind will cause its sublimation to become more frequent and intense.
"Recalculate the orbit, fly around the target. Antor, collects asteroid surface data."
Ten minutes later, the spacecraft recalculated that the channel began to orbit the asteroid in a relatively circumference, but in fact, the spacecraft and the asteroid were flying towards the earth, so the orbit of the spacecraft was like a continuous spring trajectory.
Li Chuan came to the main cabin, and everyone was discussing landing on the surface of the asteroid.
"The whole comet is like a boiling boiler, with a surface collapse and a mess, which is more severe than we thought, causing us a lot of trouble."
"The current rotation speed of the asteroid is about 106 minutes per cycle, and when it reaches the sun, the sublimation phenomenon will intensify. Now your feet are very stable, and maybe the next moment you will reach a big crack."
"According to the fact that ESA launched Rosetta more than 20 years ago, and there was an attempt by an artificial satellite to land on the surface of a comet, it also maintained a stable time of three days, but it would be thankful for 2028qa1 to have thirty minutes."
Everyone spoke freely, and the plan was not going well. The 2028qa1 asteroid is very different from the data conclusions studied on Earth. Now it is constantly approaching the sun, and the closer it is to the sun, the more violent the activity on its surface will be. The cracks on the ground of the asteroid will become larger and larger, the higher cliffs will begin to collapse, and rolling small rocks will appear from time to time.
The comets are in a strong earthquake state as a whole, with a severe intensity that even many gaps appear on the surface. The main reason for this is that the gas inside them is unstable after being heated and erupts from weaker places on the comet's surface, causing the entire celestial body to be unstable and cracks are everywhere.
"Boss, the preliminary results of data collection have come out!"
When Li Chuan heard this, he immediately said, "Come here!"
"OK!"
A moment later, a naked-eye augmented reality projection screen appeared in the center surrounded by Li Chuan and others. Eva Yelianna muttered: "90% are ice substances, as well as ammonia, methane, cyanide, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, standard comet material structures, the gravitational escape speed on the surface of the asteroid is 2.77 meters per second, and...what? Antor, confirmed that two unknown elements were detected?"
When Li Chuan and Chu Siyuan saw it, they couldn't help but feel energetic. The others gradually became shocked and discovered unknown elements. The discovery of any new element is a major event in the scientific community.
Even Li Chuan couldn't calm down at this moment, so he asked quickly: "Have you detected the specific location? I'm talking about unknown elements, where is the specific location?"
"The data collected shows that it is about a depth of two hundred meters, and more in the core."
Two hundred meters, drilling should not be difficult. Li Chuan nodded secretly and immediately said: "Let the computer calculate the active trend of the asteroid and give us a warning at any time."
"I understand, Captain!"
Li Chuan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone should act quickly. Our goal is to take away these two unknown elements, which can take away as much as they can, mainly elements that react to the quantum transition effect. That is the purpose of our coming here, let's dig! Let's come with me first."
Six members who were about to leave the spacecraft were selected. At this time, the six people followed Li Chuan to a material reserve compartment. Everyone was curious and watched him transport a large sealed box from the reserve compartment. When they opened it, they found that the box was filled with black objects.
"Boss, what is this?" a member asked curiously.
"Hehe, fortunately I have prepared more, otherwise, what can I do in thirty minutes? I can't handle anything and have to pay tens of billions of special living things." Li Chuan smiled, then looked at the member who asked the question and pointed to the black object in the sealed box and said, "To mine, you have to rely on it, my personal toy."
This dark "black sand" is... a private toy?
Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, Li Chuan stretched out his hand to contact the black objects in the sealed box. Then these black objects spread along his hands like fluid. Then everyone's eyes became dull and they looked at the scene in front of them incredibly.
Obviously, this is Li Chuan's nano-black armor.
