Chapter 811: Arrive at Saturn
Chapter 811 Arrival at Saturn
The majestic rings of Saturn appear directly in front of the human eye for the first time.
And when you really stand at such a spatial scale to watch it, you can feel the suffocating beauty.
In the past few days, many people stood on the side of the small viewing park every day, watching Saturn getting closer and closer.
Xie Yinran murmured, "How can it be so bright?"
Gu Song knew that she was asking about Saturn's rings, and replied with a smile: "Saturn's rings are basically ice, and the reflectivity of sunlight is very high, so it looks very bright."
"Ice? Is it delicious?" Gu Yuxing raised his head and asked curiously.
Xie Yinran grabbed her face and said with emotion, "It's like a diamond ring, spotless..."
Gu Song laughed lightly: "How can it be spotless, there is still some dust and darkness. Saturn's rings should be formed by a smashed icy shell star, and it was formed not long ago. If we Humans are intelligent life born 100 million years later on Earth, and we won't see it. Or in a few years, Saturn's rings will become dark and not as wide as they are now."
Xie Yinran rolled his eyes at him: "Disappointing!"
Gu Song looked straight and said affectionately, "I'll give you this unique ring!"
More and more people came to the viewing park, Xie Yinran pinched his waist.
Gu Song laughed: "You take her to play here, I'll go to the bridge."
Xie Yinran took the little guy's hand, Gu Song rubbed Gu Yuxing's head, and went to the bridge while smiling and greeting others.
After trekking for more than a year, I finally came here.
…
Now that we have come to Saturn, we naturally have to throw out a bunch of probes.
Flint Space City has its own destination: Titan.
But the probes can go now.
"The First Voyage of the Solar System" began to broadcast the most shocking chapter.
Flint Space City takes advantage of Saturn's gravitational pull to orbit around once to slow down.
The rings of Saturn, taken from the top view of Flint Space City, are intertwined with the pictures returned by the probe that entered the troposphere of Saturn.
This is the most spectacular halo structure in the solar system.
Looking down, you can see the limitless ice particles that stretch for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Down, from the scale of the planet, it is as thin as a cicada's wings and crystal clear.
Looking up, a white ice ring stands tall, covering the sky, and the halo illuminates everything around it.
When the probe flew through Saturn's rings and between Saturn, it seemed to pass through one of the most spectacular gates in the universe.
Take a closer look, and there are 6 crescents hanging in the sky at the same time.
The sun was scattered by the mist, and even a mirage-like landscape appeared, as if there were four suns in the distance.
And the location of the probe also has the strongest wind in the entire solar system, 1500 kilometers per hour.
Nothing inspires people to yearn for the starry sky more than the actual beauty.
From Enceladus to the inside, the scene taken on the side of Enceladus is also not inferior.
The plume-shaped fountain erupts from the surface from time to time, blooming in the dark starry background at a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour, illuminated by the light of the sun and Saturn's rings, this is a spectacular fountain.
Mimas, the second closest to Saturn, has huge craters that account for nearly one-third of its diameter. The edge of the annular basin is a steep mountain wall with a height of more than 4,000 meters. In the center of the annular basin, there is a sharp front of more than 6,000 meters. Not far away, Saturn straddles the entire horizon of vision.
The beauty of nature is breathtaking.
In line with the upsurge brought by the Flint Space City, HSDA also released other spectacular sights captured by the probe.
In the north pole of the moon, the peaks of eternal light where the sun never sets…
Mars is 6.5 kilometers deep and 3000 kilometers long in the Valley of the Mariners…
Jupiter is big enough to put down two Earths, and the Great Red Spot, which is madly rotating and changing...
After more than a year, the earth has set off a space boom again.
But the HSDA Council at the moment is more concerned about the launch of Flint Space City.
After decelerating around Saturn, Flint Space City began to finely control the deceleration thrusters.
With the Good Hope incident, almost no one would worry that the Flint Space City could not enter orbit.
It has the most abundant energy, the strongest thrusters, the strongest shipboard computer and control system.
What's more, it has the strongest captain, Gu Song, who can independently control it with a brain-computer interface.
The only thing to worry about is the details of the Enlightenment Detector.
I don’t know if there is any danger, and I don’t know if there is a safe distance.
The Flint Space City was getting closer little by little, Gu Song was very calm, but the others were hanging on to their hearts.
Anyway, Flint Space City entered the orbit of Titan in a graceful arc, and maintained a relatively static synchronous speed with the Envoy Probe and Enlightenment Probe.
is 1000 kilometers away from the Enlightenment Detector.
The bridge was silent.
It took a second or two before I heard Hu Shanchuan exhale softly.
Then Zhao Hongtao stood up: "Captain, are you going now?"
Gu Song looked at him and Fan Yuanbai and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Zhao Hongtao grinned: "Do I look like someone who is afraid?"
Fan Yuan raised his bald head: "Do I look like someone I'm afraid of?"
Gu Song laughed: "You are like a repeater! All right, call them and get ready to go!"
Outside the airlock of Dragon King's counterpart, Xin Zhao and another older candidate seed are waiting there.
Gu Song did not speak, but Hu Shanchuan asked, "Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
Hu Shanchuan said solemnly: "I wish you good luck!"
The big head is on the side, faithfully recording the picture.
The four people opened the hatch and entered the airlock room, ready to enter the Dragon King.
According to the plan, Flint Space City will stay at a safe distance first, Gu Song should not be dispatched first, and approach the past through the aerospace plane to explore the reality of the enlightenment detector.
Gu Song has nothing to object to such a plan, and he is not in a hurry anyway.
Hu Shanchuan followed him back to the bridge, but became nervous again.
"The bridge, the Dragon King is ready to leave."
"Ying the Dragon King, go!"
Gu Song gave an order, and Ying Longwang started the escape procedure.
Hu Shanchuan turned his head to look, Gu Song was extremely calm.
He let go of his hand, trying to relax. After a while, he unknowingly squeezed back his fist.
On the screen, Ying Longwang slowly flew down.
"1000km...900km...800km..."
"700 kilometers, Ying Longwang is normal, no other abnormality."
Hu Shanchuan squeezed his fist even tighter, only 62 kilometers left.
"Start slowing down. Distance 686km...680km...677..."
Ying Longwang's longitudinal speed is already very small, and it still maintains a relatively static orbital speed.
Everything is so precise.
"The distance is 658 km. Please indicate."
Hu Shanchuan looked at Gu Song, only the last 40 meters left.
Gu Song said calmly: "Advance to 657.95 kilometers."
Ying the Dragon King, Fan Yuanbai, who said he was not afraid, held his breath.
Xin Zhao was full of longing.
Zhao Hongtao gently manipulated King Yinglong and advanced another 50 meters.
Quietly.
"The distance is 657.95 kilometers, no signal is received, everything is normal."
Gu Song's voice immediately came: "Send a signal."
Fan Yuanbai let out a breath and entered the command.
A very simple message passed.
"The intelligent life of civilization No. 42-89757 has arrived."
The detector 657.95 kilometers away was awakened.
Then, the signal was directly transmitted to King Yinglong.
On the bridge, Yinglongwang's communication was suddenly interrupted.
