When Xiao Yu got close to the sun, he realized that his previous experience of the sun was too superficial.
You can never realize the power of the sun just from books.
Now, Xiao Yu is 60 million kilometers away from the sun. He is still outside the orbit of Mercury.
At a distance of 60 million kilometers, even Jupiter is just a bright spot at this distance, and no details can be seen clearly. However, the sun at this distance is as big as a millstone.
There is no air here, so there is no diffuse reflection. In the dark sky, there is a huge fireball hanging. There is infinite light and heat radiating from it. Xiao Yu tested the temperature of the heat shield, it was about 400 degrees.
.
A powerful stream of high-energy charged particles blows out from the sun, and its intensity is more than ten times higher than what has been measured on Earth.
"This should be caused by the influence of Jupiter." Xiao Yu made a guess, and then decisively stopped the idea of continuing to approach, and fine-tuned the orbit into an orbit.
This is the closest Xiao Yu has been to the sun since he was born, and possibly in his entire life. If it weren't for the gravitational acceleration of the sun, Xiao Yu would not have come to such a dangerous place.
The mass of the sun is not much different from that of Tianyuan Si, and the two have a good analogy. Anyway, with nothing to do, Xiao Yu allocated a few points of the CPU and began to calculate the collected data of the sun.
These data help Xiao Yu make a rough guess about the situation of Tianyuan Four Star System, so as to decide his actions after arriving at Tianyuan Four Star System.
Xiao Yu's ionization plan was also officially launched at this time. In the previous stage of collection, Xiao Yu collected a total of about 900 tons of water. These 900 tons of water will be used during the approximately four-month journey around the sun.
, all converted into hydrogen and oxygen, becoming Xiao Yu's fuel.
Nine hundred tons of fuel have exceeded Xiao Yu's maximum reserve level. With sufficient fuel, Xiao Yu finally tried to feel like a nouveau riche. Several projects were carried out simultaneously, and work was started at full capacity. The load rate of the central computer was reached.
Max began to work hard to calculate the data obtained from Jupiter. At the same time, the robot breeding program was officially launched. Two robots were working hard to create the next generation, and one robot was assigned to continue to repair the spacecraft in details.
Everything was thinking about developing in a good direction. At this time, Xiao Yu finally relaxed.
Four months passed in a flash. Xiao Yu's position moved from one side of the sun to the other side. As the spacecraft gets farther and farther away from the sun, the speed of the spacecraft will slowly decrease under the influence of the sun's gravity.
But since he planned to escape the gravity of the sun, it was naturally impossible for Xiao Yu not to prepare in advance.
In fact, Xiao Yu started a slow acceleration about a month and a half ago, accelerating the relative speed of the spacecraft from twenty kilometers per second to forty kilometers per second, and it is still accelerating. It is expected that it will cross the orbit of Mars
After that, Xiao Yu's speed will reach 60 kilometers per second, surpassing Voyager 1, the previous fastest human aircraft.
After that, Xiao Yu will fly at this speed until he is 100 million kilometers away from Saturn, then start to slow down slowly, and finally land on Titan.
Everything was as familiar as when it came. Once again, it passed by Mars at a distance of 30,000 kilometers. Looking at this planet that had suffered a huge disaster and provided a strong shelter for him, Xiao Yu was filled with emotions.
"Okay, finally it's time to cross the asteroid belt and take a new step!" Xiao Yu was full of confidence.
The last time he planned to cross the asteroid belt, he was forced to change his orbit by the big event of the Moon-Jupiter collision. Fortunately, Xiao Yu did not suffer a fatal blow. Xiao Yu was like an invincible little beast, in the orbit of the earth.
After regaining supplies, like Hu Hansan, he came back again.
This time, no one can stop Xiao Yu.
There are indeed many asteroids in the asteroid belt, the total number is estimated to be one million or more, but they are distributed in a huge space, and their density is very questionable.
In fact, if you don't specifically select a target, you won't be able to find any shadow of an asteroid when passing through the asteroid belt. It seems that this place is as empty as the rest of the universe. Therefore, as long as you are not very unlucky,
Generally there is no need to worry about being hit by an asteroid here.
Xiao Yu passed through the asteroid belt without incident. Under the influence of Jupiter's gravity, he was accelerated to 65 kilometers per second and flew towards his destination at full speed.
Here, it is about 300 million kilometers away from the sun. It is about 480 million kilometers away from the orbit of Jupiter, and about 1.1 billion kilometers away from the orbit of Saturn.
Fortunately, Jupiter, Saturn, and Xiao Yu are now on the same side of the sun. Otherwise, without Jupiter's gravitational acceleration, Xiao Yu would have spent a little more time.
In the blink of an eye, nearly three months have passed. The distance between Xiao Yu and Jupiter has also shortened to less than 30 million kilometers.
Looking at Jupiter getting closer and closer, Xiao Yu began to think about a very important question.
That is, should we go and take a look near Jupiter?
Xiao Yu has completed the calculation of the data obtained from Jupiter, and is currently at the stage of experimental verification. Before obtaining new data from the experiment, it is impossible for Xiao Yu to go further in his research on nuclear fusion. Although Xiao Yu has 90% confidence
To be sure of the final answer lies in a few assumptions of your own, but there is always a possibility of accidents.
What if we observe Jupiter at close range at this time and obtain more data? Wouldn't we be more confident? After all, after arriving at Saturn, it is not an easy matter to return to Jupiter.
But the danger is self-evident. Although a year has passed since the Jupiter-Moon impact event, a year is just a blink of an eye on an astronomical scale. The impact of such a huge impact cannot subside in a short time.
Come down. Maybe there are countless satellite fragments flying around in Jupiter's orbit, or maybe Jupiter's magnetic field has mutated, causing all the spacecraft instruments to malfunction.
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth, frowned, thought about it, and decided that he should go take a look.
Having a strong curiosity and desire for knowledge are the basic qualities of a scientist. As the most outstanding scientist, Xiao Yu undoubtedly has a curiosity strong enough to kill five hundred cats. Going to Jupiter, there are two
The reason, one reason is that observing Jupiter up close will really help Xiao Yu in his research on nuclear fusion technology. The second reason is that Xiao Yu is really curious and really wants to see what Jupiter looks like now.
"Even if you want to go see it, you have to think about safety. Well... we will reach Jupiter in about five days. We will take advantage of this time to reinforce and thicken the radiation protection layer of the spacecraft... Also, just
It can pass by Jupiter at a distance of 200,000 kilometers, but it can’t get any closer. Well, really, it can’t get any closer.”
Xiao Yu muttered silently, commanding eight robots - during the past few months of travel, the number of robots increased by five - and began to once again reinforce and thicken the radiation protection layer of the spacecraft. At the same time, the Geiger counter was
, the magnetometer, the radar anti-collision system, the optical detection system and other systems were all turned on to maximum power, and the only laser gun was taken out, ready to crush meteorites that could not be avoided at any time.
After making all preparations, Xiao Yu silently looked at the growing Jupiter, feeling nervous and a little hopeful.
Jupiter's iconic stripes have disappeared. Xiao Yu knows that this is due to the impact of the moon. Even Jupiter's most famous Great Red Spot has been affected by the collision between Jupiter and the moon and has disappeared.
Close... closer... The distance between Xiao Yu and Jupiter has been shortened to two million kilometers. This distance is already quite close, but Xiao Yu is still flying forward without hesitation, and keeps flying until about eight
After several hours, Xiao Yu will be closest to Jupiter, and will be about 200,000 kilometers apart, and then move away from Jupiter.
The optimal observation time is only sixteen hours. The various instruments carried by Xiao Yu have been turned on to maximum power, observing Jupiter with all their strength, and trying their best to obtain more data from Jupiter.
So many instruments only occupied less than 30% of the computing power of the central computer. Xiao Yu had a lot of energy to stare blankly at Jupiter to satisfy his curiosity.
"It's really... so spectacular." Xiao Yu murmured to himself.
Behind Xiao Yu is the spectacular ring of Jupiter, and faint traces of Europa and Callisto can be seen. In front of him is the giant Jupiter.
Jupiter is now generally a chaotic yellow-brown color. From time to time, huge cyclones that can be seen with the naked eye appear on it. Xiao Yu has no doubt about their power. If Xiao Yu's spaceship is thrown into it, it probably won't be used.
It will be torn into pieces in a fraction of a second.
At the two poles, there are countless gorgeous auroras flying around, which are countless times larger than the auroras on the earth.
With the giant Jupiter as the background, Xiao Yu's spacecraft looks like a tiny mosquito.
Eight hours have passed, and the distance between Xiao Yu and Jupiter is now 400,000 kilometers. The closest distance of 200,000 kilometers will soon arrive.
Jupiter has occupied Xiao Yu's entire field of vision. Xiao Yu seems to be able to see countless violent thunderstorms and lightning on Jupiter. Any lightning on Jupiter is hundreds of times more powerful than the most powerful lightning on the earth.
Long bolts of lightning raged in the clouds of Jupiter, piercing the sky and releasing unparalleled energy...
Such a scene made Xiao Yu feel like his blood was boiling just thinking about it.
Two hundred thousand kilometers.
A strange palpitation was transmitted to Xiao Yu's spirit. Xiao Yu recovered from his trance with a quick wit. Then, Xiao Yu felt a data that almost stopped his heart.
"Why did the radiation intensity suddenly increase so much? Why did the outer shell temperature suddenly increase to 200 degrees? Why were the instruments suddenly disturbed?"
Xiao Yu roared angrily and immediately started checking.
