Chapter 758

now that the probe has successfully landed on Neptune, the next step is the formal exploration.

However, before the probe detects Neptune, it is necessary to check the current situation of the probe.

Now that the probe has returned images from Neptune, it doesn't mean everything is OK.

This just means that the external camera is normal. It is not known whether there is any problem with the most important scanning equipment.

After a landing, no one knows if there is a problem with the probe.

If something goes wrong with the scanner, the probe doesn't have to go on.

So Ye Su was in the bridge and gave orders to all the crew.

"Give a self-test command to the detector to check whether the detector is damaged during landing."

"I see. Start the self-test immediately." One of the crew replied.

It wasn't long before the probe on Neptune sent back the results of this self-test.

All the data are analyzed and projected onto the light screen in the center of the bridge.

Yesu took a look at the data on the light screen and knew that the detector was all right now.

It seems that the landing was very smooth and the probe was not damaged at all.

Now that there is no problem with the detector, we can officially start the detection.

"Start exploring now, and let the probe scan Neptune as a whole."

With Ye Su's command, the detector will be in operation immediately.

Detailed data from Neptune are being transmitted back to the Pathfinder.

On Neptune's surface, the topography beneath the ice layer, and the distribution of minerals in deep layers, these data are constantly sent back from the probe.

As it scanned the ice beneath, the detector moved its position.

At this time, the spherical surface of the detector plays a role. In the severe storm on Neptune's surface, the detector relies on the spherical surface to maintain enough stability.

The probe is moving at high speed above Neptune, constantly sending back a lot of detailed data.

Just after the probe was officially in operation, Yesu was not ready to stay here.

The test is only half done, and the journey back to earth is waiting for them.

"Let the probe run on Neptune, and we're ready to go back now."

Now that the probe is working properly, Yesu is ready to return with the trailblazer.

Exploration of Neptune is not going to end in a short period of time. This exploration will last for several months.

Alpha crystal, a rare material, can not be found all at once.

So Yesu is ready to return to earth, waiting for the probe to slowly search for Neptune.

"Target earth, ready to return!"

With Yesu's order to return, the trailblazer began to accelerate again, slowly leaving Neptune.

Neptune, the outermost planet in the solar system, once again regained its former tranquility after a brief bustle.

Maybe the probe on Neptune's surface has made the planet different.

Ye Su's departure this time is not a farewell forever. It all depends on the detection results.

If Neptune is found to have some rare material, Yesu will come here again.

At that time, Yeosu will have to take his hands to mine on this harsh planet.

Similar to alpha crystal, this rare material is still very attractive to Yesu, even to the point of exploitation at all costs.

But now Yesu doesn't have the time to care about rare materials. He's going to command the Pathfinder and start their journey back to earth.

The trailblazer's return trip was not much different from when it came.

First of all, the trailblazer also needs a period of acceleration to reach its maximum speed.

When the speed of the spacecraft reached half the speed of light, it would take a few hours to fly before Ye Su could return to earth.

Half of the speed of light is the highest speed in the solar system, and the energy consumption to continue to accelerate is so great that even fusion reactors cannot provide it.

If the spacecraft wants to continue to increase its speed, it has to turn on the curvature engine to shorten the space.

But in places like this in the solar system, the sun has too much mass, so there is too much gravity.

The force of gravity has exceeded the safety limit and cannot start the curvature engine.

That's where the trouble with navigation in the stellar system is. There's no way to use curvature engines.If Yesu forced on the curvature engine in the solar system, it might change the space folds due to gravity.

By then, because of the space shock, the whole ship will be torn to pieces.

Although Ye Su's physical fitness is very good, the space shock will tear up everything. Even if ye Su's body is harder than a diamond, it will be broken into pieces in a second.

Although Ye Su likes to take risks, she won't do it.

If Pioneer wants to turn on the curvature engine and increase its speed to ten times the speed of light, it will have to leave the gravitational range of the solar system.

When the spacecraft starts to fly with curvature, it is impossible to have stars around.

This is the consensus of all the civilizations of the universe, and it is also the common law among all civilizations.

Generally, in the super long-distance navigation between galaxies, the mode adopted is to use the speed of the spacecraft itself, fly out of the star system, and then make curvature flight.

In this way, accidents can be avoided in the curvature flight, and the navigation efficiency can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

If Yeosu wants to go to the neighboring star, it must first fly out of the solar system at half the speed of light.

Then turn on the curvature engine and fly four light-years at ten times the speed of light.

After the spacecraft arrived around the neighboring star, it turned off the curvature engine again and flew to the star system at its own speed.

But now Yeosu is not interested in going to the extremely bad star system of neighboring stars.

This kind of thing is still to be said later, Yesu only wants to go back to earth.
