On the whole, we are lucky that this kind of asteroid is hard to find at a long distance.
Had it not been for Li Guang's team's unexpected monitoring, human beings would not even have the opportunity to defend.
The spacecraft equipped with high-energy ionization engine is continuously increasing in speed.
In the universe, theoretically, as long as the energy is enough and continues to accelerate, it will reach the highest speed of conventional navigation, the speed of light.
But it takes a huge amount of energy, even infinity.
You know, the energy required to accelerate two particles to the speed of light in a short time is massive, not to mention a spaceship that weighs billions of times?
At least in the foreseeable future of mankind, it is impossible to master such technology.
The spacecraft is equipped with high-energy batteries, which are disassembled from the aerospace fighters. Each spacecraft is equipped with at least four Aerospace fighters' energy batteries.
But for the acceleration of the huge spacecraft, the energy still has to be calculated by hand.
Soon, the fleet spacecraft ejected a light blue beam of electric ions and left the military port of space city.
First of all, the fleet must accelerate around Earth Moon to reach the second cosmic speed, that is, the escape speed of Earth Moon Star. Using the gravitational catapult effect of the last circle, the fleet will fly away from Earth Moon Star and launch towards the vast universe.
"The first circle around Earth Moon, 8 kilometers per second."
In an hour......
"Around the second circle of Earth Moon Star, the speed is 11.2km per second, the escape speed is reached, the power is fully open, and the catapult acceleration stage is entered!"
"Speed 11.8 KPS..."
"Speed 12.6 KPS..."
"Speed 12.9 KPS..."
Reach the gravitational catapult acceleration terminal. Goodbye, planet!
Somewhere in the orbit of Earth Moon, the fleet drew a beautiful arc and plunged into space.
"Good luck
This is the same blessing to the star fleet of Moyang empire from all the people in the world.
The fleet leaving Earth Moon orbit is still accelerating.
In the universe, the aircraft can not use the same energy output to continuously accelerate.
Because relativity doesn't allow it.
The faster an object flies, the higher its mass is, and the more energy is needed to accelerate it.
This is the famous barrier to the speed of light.
Therefore, the goal of the Starfleet of the Moyang empire is to accelerate slightly faster than the speed of the third universe, make use of the orbit angle, and finally keep relatively still with the asteroid to complete the landing.
The energy carried by the spacecraft is only enough to accelerate itself to the third cosmic speed, and there is no excess energy to slow down.
So if you miss an asteroid, you will wander between the stars forever.
Only by successfully landing on the asteroid, assembling a nuclear fusion reactor, pushing the asteroid forward and replenishing its energy, can we have a chance to return to the Moyang Empire alive.
This is a road without turning back. If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!
"It's 15.1 kilometers per second and 130000 kilometers away from Earth Moon."
The space city command center always pays attention to the situation of the fleet, and then feeds back to Li Yunpeng and other senior imperial officials.
Li Yunpeng, on the other hand, did not share the situation with other countries from time to time, because there was no need to guard against the two aliens in Nanmen. In case they were the perpetrators of this incident, if the information was leaked, it would be the same as the enemy.
"Speed 16.7 KPS! Reach the third cosmic speed! 290000 kilometers away from Earth Moon
The feedback from the fleet is very encouraging. This is the highest speed of human aircraft so far.
If you keep flying outside the solar system, you will eventually leave the familiar solar system, and maybe arrive at a new galaxy in a few hundred million years.
"Keep the speed and start the orbit change program!"
"Yes
At this time, the position of the fleet was already equivalent to the distance between the moon and Earth Moon, but the direction was different and they did not meet.
Next, while maintaining its speed, the fleet will adjust its direction, make a huge arc orbit, and finally complete the turning, maintain a similar heading with the asteroid, and complete the landing.
The whole process will last for 10 days.
In this period of time, all interstellar workers, just need to finish their work exactly, and then wait quietly.
Time flies, ten days later.
"The fleet is 14.42 million kilometers away from Earth Moon, with a speed of 17 kilometers per second. It has completed its turn, and the radar has not found an asteroid yet!"
The news that the Moyang Empire received was sent by the Starfleet more than ten minutes ago.
The distance of tens of millions of kilometers has delayed the communication for more than 10 minutes.
Maybe in people's daily life, 10 points is a very short time.
But when it comes to the angle of interstellar navigation, especially orbital docking, even a millisecond error can lead to disaster.
Therefore, at this time, the imperial command center could not help much. It was up to the fleet to adapt to the situation.
Li Wu walked around the hall all the time. "It's reasonable to say that the position of the fleet is within 200000 kilometers of the asteroid. How can the radar still not find it?"
Li Guang comforted: "take it easy. 200000 km is still too far away. Wait a minute. The orbit calculation is correct. You will find it!"
Although science is very rigorous, everyone here is extremely nervous.
They are not afraid of 10000, just in case. What happens more than 10 million kilometers away is not under their control at all.
Li Yunpeng has never said a word. He knows that nothing he says now can change the ending.
Now the fleet of Moyang empire will meet the asteroid in 3.3 hours. Life and death will be in the moment of meeting.
It was noon, but the cool breakfast on the table in the hall had not been touched.
In the morning, no one left their position.
Rice, not a bite, water, not a drink.
No one even went to the toilet.
Just to be able to hear the first time that the fleet radar has found an asteroid.
