Starting Off With A Blacksmith Workshop - v2 Chapter 372
I believe that in the near future, this desert will be covered with green, and it will no longer be a luxury to turn the desert into fertile land.
And Kyushu has a total of 700,000 square kilometers of desert. I believe that under this model, the desert will also become a large area of fertile land.
In an aerospace plane that is flying towards the target asteroid in space, all the crew members on it are sitting in their seats seriously, because they will be approaching their destination soon.
In the cosmic space in front of them, there is an asteroid flying in its fixed orbit at a constant speed, and this asteroid is the target of their investigation this time.
This is why the astronauts are all on alert. First of all, after approaching the asteroid, they will adjust the flight attitude of the aerospace plane to keep the plane and the asteroid at the same speed.
At this time, they will carry out surveying and mapping of asteroids, and conduct various professional scientific researches on asteroids in space, and wait until they get first-hand information about these asteroids before continuing downwards.
For the astronauts, they are not particularly unfamiliar with the outer space. After all, they have been shuttled back and forth between the earth and the moon before this, but for the accompanying scientist, it is a challenge to step into the outer space. A novel experience.
And now that they are about to approach an asteroid, they are still very excited. After all, what they are about to do is to approach an asteroid for the first time in the whole world, and even in the following time, they will control the space. The space shuttle lands on an asteroid.
As the distance between the two parties continued to shorten, the mood of the people on the plane also stabilized.
After the unremitting efforts of the astronauts, the aerospace plane finally maintained the attitude of the aircraft at a constant speed with the asteroid, or this state is called accompanying flight, which is more appropriate.
The plane stabilized, and at this time, a mechanical arm protruded from one side of the aerospace plane, and what was carried on the mechanical arm was an instrument with surveying and mapping functions.
When the instrument protruded from the fuselage, the aerospace plane also moved, and began to use the asteroid as the center, and started orbiting the asteroid.
The aerospace plane is flying around the asteroid in circles. Fortunately, the asteroid is not too big. Its diameter is a total of one kilometer, and the orbiting time will not be too long.
Moreover, there are anti-gravity systems on the current aerospace planes. Although they are revolving around the asteroid as a whole, they don’t feel like they are orbiting.
Otherwise, in the situation where they are constantly circling the asteroid, everyone on the plane must be dizzy. Maybe for the astronauts, this feeling can be tolerated, but the scientists who are on the plane must be Can’t stand it.
If he was surrounded by this kind of constant, he would really be dizzy, his stomach would be overwhelmed, and the most serious situation would be to vomit.
I can’t bear to think about that image, the whole helmet is covered with vomit, it feels absolutely sour.
Their surveying and mapping of the asteroid was completed as quickly as possible, and finally they got the detailed topography of the asteroid.
After obtaining all the terrain of the asteroid, the aerospace plane resumed flying with the asteroid again, but the astronauts on the plane got together, and all their eyes fell on the big screen of the plane.
What is displayed on the screen is the topographic map of the asteroid they just surveyed, and what they have to do now is to discuss it, and then they will land on each location of the asteroid.
After the final discussion, they chose to land at the highest point on the asteroid, which is also the most suitable place for landing based on their comprehensive consideration.
They made a plan for the future plan, and then left a duty officer in the cab, and the others returned to the living area to rest.
When they have enough rest and their spirits are fully recovered, they will proceed downwards.
At the same time, another aerospace plane departing from the earth and also floating in the universe, their journey to the destination Mars is only halfway at this moment.
There is still some waiting for their journey, and they are flying towards Mars, just like the people who went to Mars last time, all of them are working hard towards various movies and TV shows.
When flying in the space plane near the asteroid, all the astronauts got ready and strapped their bodies to their seats.
After everyone was ready, the aerospace plane also moved, and the plane was constantly adjusting its attitude in space, and the distance between the plane and the asteroid became shorter and shorter.
Since the asteroid has no atmosphere and is not very large in terms of gravity, it is quite simple for the aircraft to approach the asteroid.
However, this simplicity is also relative. It takes at most two hours for an asteroid to rotate once. Think about a star with a diameter of only one kilometer, but its rotation time is only two hours. Then its The speed of rotation is unimaginable.
So the current flight speed of the plane is actually not that slow. It is also difficult for the plane to land on such a shape.
In this state, the aircraft finally landed on the asteroid. When the aircraft successfully landed on the asteroid, the aircraft engine did not go out immediately, but was still running.
After the landing gear of the aircraft touches the asteroid, due to gravity and the rotation of the asteroid, in order not to be thrown into space by the asteroid, the landing gear stretches out from the fuselage after landing A mechanical arm.
However, what is carried on the mechanical arm is a small drilling equipment. This small drilling equipment continuously drills towards the ground. After a while, the drilling equipment drills to a certain depth, and the drill bit retracts and moves towards the ground that has just been drilled. Deep well, cast an anchor.
Under the drag of this kind of anchor, the plane finally stopped firmly on the asteroid, and it was at this time that the engine of the aerospace plane could be considered to be extinguished.
Speaking of which, this kind of operation is very troublesome, but it didn’t take long. From the beginning of drilling underground, to dropping the anchor into the deep well to fix the plane, the total time spent did not exceed five minutes.
And the role played by the drilling just now is not only to fix the aircraft on the asteroid, but the soil lifted from the asteroid’s underground drilling is also the raw material for the astronauts to analyze next.
It can be said that this move can be regarded as a double win. The astronauts in the plane, after the plane was completely stabilized, they also began to prepare for the next exit on the plane.
Because it was going to land before, just in case the astronauts are fully armed, so there is no need to prepare for the equipment at this time, just a check is enough.
After checking that the various states of the space suits are all in good condition, the astronauts began to pack up the various instruments to be used when they leave the cabin.
Various testing equipment, large and small, were taken out one by one by them, and the last inspection was made before leaving the warehouse. After getting everything in good condition, they separated two people to stay on the plane, and the other four Instead, he walked towards the airlock of the plane.
On a small asteroid, a more than 30-meter-long plane landed steadily on it. At this moment, a circle of white mist appeared somewhere on the fuselage. Immediately after the fog appeared, a white mist appeared on the fuselage. opened a hatch.
With the opening of the cabin door, four fully armed astronauts in Wu Gang’s spacesuit stepped out of the plane.
When the feet of the four astronauts stepped on the land of the asteroid, all the astronauts who went out of the warehouse were inevitably a little excited.
That feeling is something they have never experienced before, and they have accomplished a world feat.
Before this, no one on the earth had ever landed on an asteroid, and some studies on asteroids only used some kind of instrument to come near the asteroid and hit the asteroid.
For example, a few years ago, Little Day hit an asteroid with something, and made an extremely basic test on the asteroid.
Just such a move can make Xiaotian blow up in the aerospace industry for a long time, not to mention what they are doing now, which is much more high-end than Xiaotian. Xiaotian is still smashing asteroids with things, and they But it has transported people to asteroids.
The technical difficulty and strength gap in the middle are very obvious in front of people.
The three astronauts and a scientist who got off the plane, after calming themselves down and others, also started to move on the asteroid.
First of all, they conducted a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the soil they drilled underground just now, using instruments and equipment to analyze the various components in the soil.
Because of the gravity on the asteroid, the astronauts have never dared to let go of the traction rope hanging on their bodies to move freely. If they move freely, they may be free in this life.
Fortunately, they carry quite a lot of weight, which facilitates their activities on the asteroid.
Because the range of activities is limited, they can only move around the aircraft. In fact, compared with asteroids, their range of activities is not small. The size of the aircraft plus the length of the traction rope makes their range of activities reach A radius of one hundred meters.
Such a range of activities has already allowed them to do a lot of things on the asteroid, who made the asteroid not so big!
“Zhu Shi Da Luo”
Time is passing by every minute and every second, and everyone is carrying out various detection activities within the range of activities. When they are still collecting various asteroid detection samples, the detection instrument they first turned on is Detection is complete.
At this time, everyone also put down all the work in their hands. The four people who were originally divided into two groups to move around quickly returned to the plane, and their eyes were all locked on that and the equipment that completed the test.
The composition of the asteroid soil was analyzed by the instrument, and they transmitted the analysis results from the instrument to their personal terminals, and everyone focused on it.
While the three astronauts were still looking at the analysis results, the scientist cheered excitedly, and his cheers were transmitted to the ears of several other astronauts through the communication channel.
At this time, all the astronauts looked at the scientists, and they all understood that this should be a major discovery made by the scientists in the analysis results, otherwise the scientists would not be acting as they are now.
Just as everyone’s eyes were fixed on the scientist, the scientist also understood that other people were waiting for his answer, but at the moment his heart was agitated, he couldn’t utter a single sentence at all.
The line of sight returned to the analysis results they had just obtained, and the soil components extracted from the asteroid’s underground were clearly displayed.
The entire soil composition actually contains many rare elements, and just that one place contains two elements, and the content is extremely high.
Now, according to the calculations of scientists, the entire asteroid may have the same soil composition. If it is as he guessed, then the asteroid they are targeting this time is an asteroid composed of rare earths.
Just such a discovery, the asteroid under their feet is worth taking all measures to drag it back to the earth. Although Kyushu is the country with the highest distribution of rare earths in the world, who dislikes their own good things? ?
And from the performance they have discovered now, they can actually have a rough guess about the origin of the asteroid.
One of the physical and chemical properties of rare earths is the lack of sulfides and sulfates, and rare earth elements are oxophilic.
In the universe, generally speaking, there is no oxygen, and these asteroids have so many rare earths with oxygen affinity, isn’t this a great contradiction?
Therefore, in the scientist’s speculation, the asteroid is likely to be part of a star that has sufficient oxygen. As for why the asteroid is separated from the star, he cannot know.
Anyway, all the current discoveries ~www.mtlnovel.com~ have given them great help in understanding asteroids, and this is still theoretically helpful.
The value of the entire asteroid will only be higher. You must know that this asteroid contains a large amount of rare earth elements.
Just as the scientists were staring at the composition analysis table in front of them, an astronaut who had not received a response all this time found another discovery on the composition table.
This discovery made him feel that it may be more important than the rare earth elements discovered. The astronauts’ knowledge reserves are actually very rich, and they can understand some basic things.
For example, they can still understand the last few substances in the ingredient list, and it is also because they have stayed in the moon base for a while before, so they are very familiar with various organic substances.
And now the astronaut found the presence of organic matter on the ingredient list in their hands.
They found organic matter in the soil of an asteroid in space!
