Chapter 657 Dense and Sparse Asteroid Belt
"It's finally here. It feels like a few hours is quite long. This asteroid belt... looks pretty good."

"But it reminds me of a magical software on the earth. The difference between beauty and plain makeup is not at all as dense as film and television works and simulation pictures."

When the speed of the spaceship slowed down, Dong Chen stood up from the captain's seat, and looked at the asteroid belt ahead through the porthole with a good view of Andromeda, feeling that it was not as dense as imagined.

Although I know that the pictures and movies are exaggerated, but after I got here, I feel that those things are not ordinary exaggerations.

"Of course, sir." Hearing Dong Chen's exclamation, No. [-] smiled beside him, "Those are simulation maps after all, and they are simulation maps made to highlight features, just to let ordinary people have an asteroid gathering The concept of district."

"Basically, most people in the world will not be able to reach the asteroid belt in their lifetime, so no one will know how relatively dense and relatively sparse the asteroid belt is in reality."

"And not everyone cares about whether the asteroid belt is dense or sparse, just like many people don't care about whether the price of gold will increase tomorrow, or whether the diamond production will decrease the day after tomorrow, because it has nothing to do with them."

That's right, Dong Chen felt that there was nothing wrong with what No. [-] said, and he was only complaining from the perspective of an audience when he lamented like that.

In fact, when I was far away from the asteroid belt at the beginning, I felt okay. Looking at the asteroid belt, I can see that many asteroids are gathered there.

But when the spacecraft actually flew into the asteroid belt, it was discovered that the distance between each asteroid was not so far.

"Okay, let's set off to our destination. Which asteroid are we closest to now?" Dong Chen sat back on his seat and asked No. [-] without being wordy.

The holographic projection of No. [-] standing next to Dong Chen's seat looked back and forth at the asteroid belt hologram in front of him and said, "Sir, we are the closest to Vesta."

"Okay," Dong Chen said, pointing in the direction of Vesta, "Then let's go to Vesta first, and build the first human base in the asteroid belt on it."

After finishing speaking, he looked at No. [-], "Although the asteroids in the asteroid belt are quite far away, I won't show the operation here. You should drive it, No. [-]."

"Okay, sir."

"Driving authority has been taken over."

"Re-plan the route and target Vesta."

"The route is planned, let's go."

Yihao drove the spaceship to fly smoothly in the asteroid belt, which gave Dong Chen the opportunity to take a good look at this place that many people would never be able to visit in their lifetime.

The asteroid belt that people usually refer to refers to the asteroid-intensive area between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the solar system. It is about 2.17-3.64 astronomical units from the sun and gathers more than 50 asteroids.

Although almost all the stars in the solar system are affected by the gravity of the sun, the asteroid belt is obviously closer to Jupiter, and Jupiter's gravity is not small.

Therefore, under the influence of Jupiter’s gravity, the initial planetesimals and small celestial bodies were hindered from forming final planets, and many tiny planets collided with each other, forming many wreckage and debris, and finally formed the asteroid belt.

The three largest asteroids in the asteroid belt are Pallas, Juno and Vesta, all of which have an average diameter of more than 400 kilometers.There is only one dwarf planet in the main belt, Ceres, with a diameter of about 950 kilometers.The rest of the asteroids are smaller, some the size of dust particles.

Among them, these four large planets are the targets of Dong Chen and No. [-] this time.

The material in the asteroid belt is very thin, and several human space vehicles have even passed through safely without any accidents, but this is only known to professionals.

Most people only know that the universe is very large and very empty, but there are also countless asteroids, and there are even many dense asteroid belts.

As for how dense it is, anyone who has seen the simulation diagram and the movie knows that it is extremely dense, just like the previous space junk...simulation diagram, of course I feel that I accidentally hit it.

Otherwise, how could Arclight Aerospace go so hard to fish for space junk every day?

Therefore, many people doubt that when the spacecraft passes there quickly, will it cause a collision between the spacecraft and the asteroid, or even cause destruction.

After all, hundreds of thousands of asteroids of different sizes are crowded together, which is very dangerous.

It can be said that this kind of thinking is definitely caused by the simulation diagram.

In fact, as long as the speed is not as fast as a chicken, or if you want to die, flying in the asteroid belt is still very simple.

At least the Andromeda piloted by No. [-] is very capable, as long as you avoid the crowd of asteroids that are crowded together in advance, because the material in the asteroid belt is actually very thin.

It can be seen that the thinness and scarcity of matter are the essence of the universe.

Dong Chen estimated that even if two galaxies collide, the greatest probability is that the two galaxies pass through each other, and then Mao didn't take a single one away, because the visible matter in the starry sky is really too thin.

If there are really planets colliding with each other and blowing up due to a very, very, very small probability, then you must confess quickly, because the earth will explode if you don’t confess.

"On the [-]st, I think that after Arclight Aerospace can open a flight to the asteroid belt, let people come to see what the real asteroid belt is, and stop talking nonsense just looking at the simulation map all day long."

While admiring the different scenery, Dong Chen discussed this issue with No. [-].

And No. [-] smiled and said, "Sir, I don't think you need to do this, they will also come to the asteroid belt to develop. After all, the asteroid belt is a very good space mine for human beings. I think all countries in the world I won't let it go here."

"And if there is a need, people will naturally come here. After people come, there will be more opportunities for human beings to understand this place."

"Haha, that's true, we don't need to worry about it." Dong Chen also laughed loudly.

"I just don't know when they will come, and after they come, will they see groups of space battleships and space fighters?"

"Sir, you are really... a bad joke." No. [-] covered his mouth and smiled, then raised his finger and pointed to the porthole in front, "Sir, we have already arrived at Vesta."

"Oh? So fast?"

Hearing No. [-]'s words, Dong Chen was slightly surprised, then turned his head to look forward, and he saw Vesta's oblate spherical shape and its surface full of craters.

"It's here."
