gene era

For example, the distance between Mars and the moon, because the rotation and revolution of Mars will constantly change the distance from the moon.

At the closest point, it only takes four and a half months for Blue Star humans to fly from the moon to Mars.

But at the farthest point, it takes more than six months for Blue Star humans to fly from the moon to Mars.

The celestial bodies in the solar system are constantly moving, including the sun, but due to many complicated factors such as the gravitational field of large celestial bodies, their relative positions are relatively stable.

The position of the blue star, the moon, and Mars, these celestial bodies, the blue star humans have already figured out, but the asteroid belt is extremely unfamiliar.

Even though I got part of the star map from the Spirit Race, it is still extremely unfamiliar.

The most important thing is that in the asteroid belt, due to factors such as gravitational field fluctuations of countless large and small stars, or collisions and other factors, the positions of most asteroids are constantly changing.

Therefore, if the team going out to explore wants to return to the Unut asteroid by flying, it must have a positioning beacon that can be retrieved from a long distance.

Artificial pulsing neutron stars are such beacons.

Its function is equivalent to a lighthouse at sea.

The importance is dozens of times that of the lighthouse at sea!

Therefore, if the special operations groups and participating groups in each joint area want to carry out long-distance exploration, they must wait until the pulse neutron star, the space lighthouse of the candidate, is lifted into the sky and obtain the pulse frequency before they dare to go out to explore.

Otherwise, the probability of getting lost in space and not being able to return home is 90.00% nine!

In addition, exploration in space must be carried out in flight formation.

There are too many unpredictable surprises.

Perhaps a meteorite impact can destroy the aircraft.

Or an electromagnetic storm can disable part of the aircraft's electronic equipment.

Therefore, this time the Tongtian Special Operations Group chose a flying formation for their trip.

Because the Tongtian Special Forces has a relatively small number of people, it did not choose a relatively large and relatively slow spaceship.

Instead, it chose aerospace fighters and aerospace supply ships as the main formation.

There are seven aerospace fighters in total, and an aerospace supply ship that is slightly slower than the aerospace fighters but stronger than the aerospace ships.

In the aerospace supply ship, in addition to various emergency equipment, there are four small aerospace vehicles.

Xu Tui didn't know how the preparations for the other joint areas were for the asteroid belt development this time, but the scientific and technological materials provided by the Huaxia District were extremely sufficient, and even allocated a drone formation.

In addition, three researchers from the Tongtian Special Forces were allocated, one was an atmospheric and liquid researcher, and the other two were geological researchers.

Bringing them is also to judge the development value of an asteroid in a short time, and whether it has the possibility of becoming a resource star.

At the same time, in order to deal with possible extreme accidents, a special combat team was also assigned, and the military also assigned a practitioner of the Transmutation Realm.

Because they are cultivators in the evolutionary realm, they are almost unable to fly physically. Once the aircraft is damaged during the flight, especially when in space, they will definitely die.

Equipped with a transmutation realm expert who can fly physically, there is still room for recovery when such an extreme accident occurs.

From this point of view, the Huaxia District still attaches great importance to the safety of the members of the Special Forces.

At the same time, it may be to avoid being thought of by the special operations groups as sending people to monitor, so the accompanying transmutation realm powerhouses, each special operations group can choose whether to want or not.

If desired, the entourage can also be freely selected within a certain range.

In Xu Tui's words, only a fool would not want it!

Xu Tui's candidate was, without a doubt, Zhou Chuan, who had fought side by side.

An aerospace fighter with very popular and standard performance was named Tongtian by Xu Tui, and it was temporarily used as the flagship aircraft.

Xu Tui, Zhou Chuan, Li Zhen, Tao Guan, and a geological researcher stayed in the flagship aircraft.

After taking off from the Unut asteroid and breaking away from the gravitational field of the Unut asteroid, the formation of fighter planes sailed into space.

The vast space, deep and dark.

Although there are tens of thousands of large and small asteroid meteorites in the asteroid belt, they are densely packed.

But that is from the exploration data on the star map.

In fact, the distance between most asteroids is more than four to five thousand kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers.

"Head, which direction are we going to explore now?" Zhao Hailong's voice sounded in the command channel.

In which direction, this Xu Tui really has no direction for the time being.

The asteroid belt is different from the Earth, Moon, and Mars celestial bodies in the inner solar system. The positions, including the relative positions, of the celestial bodies in the asteroid belt are constantly changing, which is extremely complicated.

"How about finding a European emperor to choose a direction?" Xu Tui laughed in the command channel.

"Then it's not you, the leader, isn't you the biggest European Emperor?" Cui Xi laughed.

"I still pay?"

"Leader, figure it out yourself, how powerful are you during the space invasion war? You can catch a big fish like Lei Xiang if you just lead us there, and..." Miao Huanshan and Cui Xi are the same All the way, lick as soon as you open your mouth.

Naturally, Xu Tui couldn't explain that it was the information Mitsubishi Ding gave him.

Europe is Europe.

Just when he was about to decide the direction, Xu Tui's heart suddenly moved.

When it landed before, the red flame flashed four times.

This kind of flickering is similar to the fact that Xu Tui returned to Blue Star for the first time after getting the red fire slip. The red fire slip also had abnormal fluctuations.

But it is not like the abnormal reaction after landing in the asteroid belt now.

However, maybe there is something to be gained?

And the most important thing is that when dealing with Lei Zhan last time, under Xu Tui's hysterical threat, Scarlet Huojian actually gave Xu Tui an extra buff.

What does this mean?

This shows that the red fire Jane may have a spirit!

Although this so-called spirit will be very low-level.

But with a spirit, there can be a certain degree of communication.

"Give me a direction?"

Xu Tui directly used his mental power to introduce the scarlet fire slip, and expressed his intentions with his consciousness.

In fact, after Xu Tui broke through to the Genetic Evolution Realm, his connection with Scarlet Fire Jane became a little bit closer, but the increase was not obvious.

In his mind, the red flame flickered a few times, and suddenly gave Xu Tui a direction.

"here!"

Xu Tui immediately gave instructions.

In the dark space, this flying formation, like a group of flying ants, immediately turned around and sailed into the depths of space.

"Leader, a meteorite was found on our channel. It is estimated that in 3 minutes, this meteorite with a diameter of [-] kilometers will collide with our side at high speed. Please destroy it or avoid it. Please give instructions." Zhao Hailong from the front plane sent asked for instructions.

"Ah Huang, calculate."

"It can't be destroyed, the whole team avoids five degrees to the left, and can't exceed six degrees, otherwise the flight will be disturbed by the gravitational field of the meteorite a thousand kilometers away."

On the first day of flight, a total of seven accidents were encountered, which was much higher than the normal state of space flight, but this is also the normal state of flight in the asteroid belt.

After flying out of the Unut asteroid's one-day flight circle, the formation slightly spread out, slightly opened the distance, and expanded the detection distance.

However, the few celestial bodies encountered are still relatively small meteorite celestial bodies, which have no detection significance.

During this period, Xu Tui activated the red fire slip twice.

This time, the flight direction was given every time, and other than that, there were no extra instructions.

"Leader of the report, our right wing has issued a large celestial body. The detection data shows that the diameter exceeds 1200 kilometers and it is not gaseous." Yang Huai reported suddenly.

"Turn around, inspect in all directions, and prepare for landing."

The current flight range is about a two-day circle of the Unut asteroid.

Any asteroid within the distance of the three-day flight circle around the Unut asteroid cannot be let go.

An asteroid with a diameter of more than 1200 kilometers is already relatively large, and the size of the moon is only 1700+ kilometers, and the diameter of Phobos, which has been transformed for decades, is only three to four hundred kilometers.

Three minutes later, the detection data came, and the current ambient temperature of the asteroid is around minus 3 degrees.

It is flying in orbit, but the orbit of which celestial body is unknown.

can log in.

"Replenishment ships, No. [-] and No. [-] aircraft, orbiting. No. [-] to No. [-], Tongtian is ready to land." Xu Tui issued an order.

After an hour, I successfully logged in.

The first thing that needs to be done is safety testing.

The numbered fighters flew around this unnamed asteroid to conduct all-round inspections.

"Reporting to the head, no signs of life were found."

"Reporting leader, no radioactive fluctuations were found."

……

"Miao Huanshan and Yanghuai, your two teams are respectively escorting two researchers to carry out geological inspections, and the other teams, headed by Tongtian and No. [-], continue to fly at low altitudes to explore this asteroid.

Do it in formation. "Xu Tui's order was issued.

At the speed of an aerospace fighter, it only takes two hours to fly around this unknown asteroid at a low altitude.

Half an hour later, Zhao Hailong's voice suddenly came from the communication channel, "Report to the leader, at the temporary coordinates X234 and Y177, suspected artificial artifacts were found, please explore."

Inside Tongtian, Xu Tui's eyes were fixed.

Suspected artificial creation?

Xu Tui frowned, and immediately issued an order, "Continue to explore remotely and wait for our formation to arrive."

"Attention the whole team. If a suspected artificial artifact is found, raise the alert level and enter the combat state." Xu Tui immediately issued a warning.

When the Tongtian rushed to the corresponding coordinates provided by Zhao Hailong, Xu Tui contacted the red fire letter again.

The red light flickered slightly, very vaguely.

I don't understand what it means at all.

Half an hour later, the planes of Xu Tui, Cui Xi, Luo Murong and others arrived at the sky above Zhao Hailong's so-called suspected artificial creation.

From a high altitude, it looks very similar, an extremely regular disk, and there are chisel marks on the disk, but most of them are blurred.

Soon, the remote sensing analysis of the data on the material composition below made everyone excited.

Metal of unknown composition!

The disc below was not made of natural stone as it looked to the naked eye, but a metal of unknown composition!

In this case, the possibility of artificial creation is very high!

"Continue to lower the height and explore."

"UAV ultra-low altitude exploration."

Xu Tui sticks to the basic principle of a commander - be cautious!

After 15 minutes, after various explorations and trials, including firepower trials, the disc-like artificial creation did not respond, nor did it find any threats.

Eliminates most hazards.

It has finally come to the last and most important step-manual exploration, sampling or direct detection.

One minute later, Xu Tui, Zhou Chuan, Zhao Hailong, Luo Murong, Mu Xingluan and others formed a combat team and left the fighter plane to conduct field exploration.

Cui Xi stayed to direct.

Before leaving the fighter plane, Mu Xingluan still put on each of them a rattan silk armor.

However, after Mu Xingluan broke through to the level of genetic evolution, this ability has also been greatly improved.

Before the person landed, Xu Tui's telepathy swept down first.

The moment he swept it down, Xu Tui's expression changed.

"Be careful, there are weak source energy fluctuations below!"
