Chapter 952

The life of the escape fleet gradually entered the daily life. People worked and lived according to the unified schedule, maintaining the daily life support system of the warship. Most of the work focused on the production of food and oxygen.

No one knows how long this journey will take. It may take at least a hundred years. Theoretically, they are only the first generation of the fleeing fleet, and there may be the second and third generations... Until the nth generation.

No one in the first generation will live until the fleet finally landed on land. The rest of their lives must grow old and die in this endless voyage and become the cornerstone of future civilization.

This is a journey that only starts but not arrives.

The escape fleet flew over the sun, then passed through the orbit of mercury, flew over the orbits of the eight planets one by one, finally left Pluto, slowed down, and plunged into the cobble belt.

Kuiper Belt objects are some clumps left over from the formation of the solar system. 4.5 billion years ago, many such masses revolved around the sun closer to the sun. They collided with each other, and some combined to form the solid cores of the earth, other earth like planets, and gas giant planets.

Far away from the sun, where the masses are deeply frozen, they have been preserved as they are. Kuiper Belt objects may be such remnants, which were already there when the solar system began to form.

The Kuiper belt is known as the boundary of the solar system and the birthplace of most comets in the solar system.

Some astronomers believe that because Pluto is about the same size as the asteroids in the Kuiper belt, Pluto should be excluded from the list of nine planets and included in the list of asteroids in the Kuiper belt; Pluto's moon should be regarded as Pluto's companion.

At a distance of 40 ~ 50 astronomical units from the sun, the low inclination orbit has been considered to be an emptiness in the past, which is the end of the solar system.

But in fact, it is full of frozen objects from several kilometers to thousands of kilometers. It is the Kuiper belt. The formation of these objects on the Kuiper belt: if explained according to the accretion theory of planetary formation, it is that they collide and attract each other in the process of moving around the sun, and finally adhere to celestial bodies of different sizes.

Although from the data description, the Kuiper belt seems very crowded and bustling, Hao Zhi and his colleagues found that it is still an endless empty world and the road ahead is blurred in the dark cosmic background.

Therefore, although the warships had nothing in front of them, they had to slow down.

Because in such a high-speed voyage, the warship's "eyes" are almost blind. According to the speed of 20 million kilometers per hour, the warship flies 5555 kilometers per second, and the furthest detection distance of shipborne radar is about 100000 kilometers, which has reached the maximum limit.

In other words, in this case, once any meteorite appears in front of you, the time from discovery to evasion will not exceed two seconds. For such a high-speed warship, you can't do any evasion action at all. The only thing you can do is to clean the obstacles with laser weapons.

But this is still a case where large meteorite fragments are easier to deal with. If it is only an egg sized meteorite and wants to hit it with shipborne laser weapons 100000 kilometers away, it is impossible even with radar positioning coordinates. How lucky do you have to hit it at once?

When Hao Zhi and others realized this problem, the battleship blue space had been destroyed by a meteorite of similar size. Almost in an instant, the meteorite with high-speed impact chiseled a pea sized hole from the visual porthole, and then the whole ship body seemed to be ignited from the middle, which exploded and caught fire in an instant.

All the flames tilted back in high-speed flight. The damaged ship body flew into debris and garbage all the way in one second. It was very uniform and maintained almost constant speed, forming a long gray thin line of space garbage flying forward at the speed of 5000 kilometers per second.

Among those space debris, there are 100000 human bodies who are just talking and laughing.

They died painlessly, had no time to respond, had no chance to say goodbye to their relatives and friends, and had no chance to repent to God.

The people on the blue space are very kind. Most of them come from the high-level intellectuals in the original earth world. Therefore, it is one of the few warships without any riots. Since taking off, the most thing most of the crew do is constantly pray, organize conversation and provide psychological counseling to each other, so as to meet the needs of space navigation faster.

They are positive, diligent, optimistic, obedient and conscientious.

However, their luck is too bad. They have become the first cannon fodder in this dangerous space.

Also because of their sacrifice, Wang Yanke and Hao Zhicai immediately made the decision to immediately slow down the whole fleet and crossed the Kuiper belt at a low speed of 5 million kilometers per hour. The coverage of the Kuiper belt was about 10 astronomical units, equivalent to 1.5 billion kilometers. It took the whole fleet almost 12 days to fly out of this rocky area.

Then he began to accelerate frantically and returned to the high-speed of 20 million kilometers.

Soon, they passed pregnant God and bird God, two dwarf planets that human beings had never observed directly. They were very small, like a giant egg pulled by some mysterious force. In the past, mankind only proved the existence of these two asteroids in gravitational data. Until the later stage of earth country, after the great development of human ability to explore the stars, we should have paid attention to the middle-level structure of the solar system, but we didn't have that time.

They put a lot of energy into the Sky Patrol defense network. The top ten star fleets are busy enough for a while. How can they be in that mood.

Therefore, mankind has never reached such a far distance in deep space. Every step they take from this position is a big step in human history.

Hao Zhi suddenly remembered that in an old film the Lord of the rings, when the two children set out for a great goal, the Hobbit servant who had just set out suddenly stopped at the end of the corn field at the entrance of the village. Frodopkins turned to ask him strangely why he didn't go.

He raised one foot suspiciously and said, if I take this step, I will go outside the village

Hao Zhi's mood now is a little similar to that of the loyal servant. He looks at the dark deep space of the universe and starts to be in a daze. This is the first time that he has been to such a far away place from home. Every extra minute of driving, the possibility of going home is ten times smaller... The earth ball seems to have become a distant past after more than ten days of sailing, It has become a star billions of kilometers away that can't even see light spots. It is so ordinary that it has no brilliance.

Hao Zhi thought of his life. He was born a hundred years ago, when he was three, five, or even ten years old. The details gradually blurred away from him. The past was so far away that you began to doubt whether it really existed. The harder you recall what you have experienced, the more you will feel that only now is the only real thing.

He began to feel afraid, a completely unpredictable fear in his heart

When the back becomes as far away as the front, I seem to be on the Babel Tower where I can't see the edge at both ends. The only driving force to support myself forward is the ethereal hope that I must insist on living, but does the hope really exist?

Who knows
