Chapter 1180

For his boss's doubt, Kuafu said with disdain: "what's strange about that! What's the speed of our ship? What's the speed of these two detectors? How can a snail's speed compare with ours?

We should know that even if these two detectors are accelerated by the gravitational catapult effect of the sun and Jupiter, their speed is only just above the speed of the third universe. The speed of less than 18 kilometers per second is really low.

Not to mention that they have also carried out a large number of planetary exploration missions in the solar system, so their flight paths are different from those of our spacecraft. Our eight spaceships only carry out extrasolar exploration missions.

All the probes carried are also carried for this mission. The missions of exploring the inner solar system are assigned to other detectors. Therefore, our spaceships are flying directly in the direction of leaving the solar system at high speed without any delay.

In addition, our spacecraft can continuously use our high-power ion engine to accelerate, so the average speed of our spacecraft has reached more than 370 kilometers per second, more than 20 times the speed of these two detectors.

It's not surprising that these factors add up to catch up with them in such a short period of time, OK! Tell me what to do with them. Time is running out. I have to leave some time for preparation. "

After reading the data projected by Kuafu and his introduction, Lei Tiantang also understood that their spaceship caught up with them in such a short time, which is really not a big surprise.

"Yes! Well, deal with them, but don't destroy them if you can. Anyway, they have made great contributions to the exploration of the earth's universe. I prefer to collect them, and maybe they can be exhibited in the future. " Lei Tiantang said his plan with a smile.

If these two detectors can be preserved, of course, he is willing to collect them. As he said, no matter how many shortcomings they have, their contribution to the earth's exploration of the universe is real, and he can't ignore these contributions and directly destroy them.

After the launch of Voyager 1, Jupiter was photographed for the first time in January 1979. On March 5 of the same year, it was closest to Jupiter, only 349000 km away from the center of Jupiter.

As a result of such a close miss, the spacecraft can have a deep understanding of Jupiter's satellite, ring, magnetic field and radiation environment in 48 hours of close flight and take high-resolution photos. The whole shooting process was finally completed in April.

Voyager 2 is known as the most valuable probe because it has visited many planets and their moons: on July 9, 1979, it was closest to Jupiter, discovered several more rings around Jupiter, and took pictures of IO to show its volcanic activity.

It was closest to Saturn on August 25, 1981. Then, using Saturn's gravity, like a catapult, on January 24, 1986, it was closest to Uranus and discovered 10 previously unknown natural moons. Voyager 2 was closest to Neptune on August 25, 1989.

The first pictures of these planets and satellites made great contributions to human understanding of the solar system. Even Lei Tiantang had a lot of initial data from their solar system exploration activities, so he didn't want to destroy them before they brought real threat to the earth.

"I understand, boss, this can be done completely. Our spaceship has a capture net. As long as we have accurate calculation, then I can accurately capture them when I get close to them, and will not cause damage to them.

In addition, we have already put several relay satellites and other detectors in our warehouse, so there is enough space for them

"That's good. By the way, we won't be found out by the US side, will we? It's not a big deal from our point of view, but it would be a little embarrassing if we were found out Lei Tiantang asked anxiously.

"What do you think! Can I ignore such important details? These two detectors have been out of power for more than a year, so what we plan to do now is not much different from picking up garbage.

As for the boss, you must be very skilled. After all, I heard you boast that your travel expenses for the first pot of gold were collected from the garbage. Now, it should be nice to review this business? " Kuafu laughed and joked.

"Go away! Can that be the same! At that time, I was still young. I thought that I could get a travel fee and start-up fund without the money from my family. At the same time, I didn't want to take advantage of the country with the means I just got, so I made the decision after comprehensive consideration.

Now you tell me that we use spaceships to recover the two detectors of the United States, which is the same as the operation of my previous start-up fund. Isn't it irrelevant that one is so tall and the other is too low to be compared? " Lei Tiantang heard him make complaints about this."Why is it different? We should look at the essence through the phenomenon!"

"You can go to your uncle! I don't want to talk to you about this! By the way, you haven't told me how to get these two detectors back? Can't our spaceship return two because of these two things? That's obviously not worth the loss

"Of course not! There's no need for us to return home. Isn't there a very advanced small maintenance equipment on our ship!

It exists in order to repair the spacecraft in time when there are problems in the process of flight, and to repair them when there are problems in our detectors before launching.

So there are more than 100 ion engines in the spacecraft. Theoretically speaking, these ion engines must not be used up. After all, we are prepared to ensure that the mission can be carried out in the most extreme crisis. However, as long as it is not particularly unfortunate, that situation will not appear.

Then we can make use of the waste. Boss, you see, as long as we use the materials on hand and two small ion engines to fix the recovered detectors to the bracket, and then hang up the fuel package and throw them out of the spacecraft.

At that time, ion engines will take them back into the solar system, and even if there is a deviation in the process, as long as they enter the solar system, we will have to run a little more. Anyway, we can always use the spacecraft to recover them again. "
