From the moon to Mars, the distance is 85 million kilometers.
The distance from Mars to the asteroid belt is 300 million kilometers.
After a brief stay in Mars orbit and witnessing the deployment of 18 satellites, after a week-long journey, everyone arrived at the asteroid belt.
This is an open area sandwiched between Mars and Jupiter.
In order to avoid danger, the spacecraft did not cut into the asteroid belt along the orbital plane, but made a small detour, as if rappelling from above, giving them a chance to see to the complete asteroid belt.
They came here not for sightseeing, but also to deploy satellites, just because they cannot rely on satellites to orbit the planet like a planet to maintain monitoring of the planet.
The significance of deploying in the asteroid belt is more reflected in understanding this vast world. world.
In this area that stretches for 1.5 billion kilometers, the focus of deployment is Ceres, Juno, Pallas, and Vesta.
Ceres, the only dwarf planet, has a diameter of 950 kilometers, which is 30 times smaller than the moon.
It is the largest body in the asteroid belt.
A total of 6 satellites are deployed nearby.
As for the remaining three planets, they are the second to fourth-ranked stars in the asteroid belt, and three satellites are deployed respectively.
There are 15 satellites in total, which is a lot.
Unfortunately, there are too many asteroids around.
The signals sent by the satellites are often blocked and absorbed by the stars.
The communications they receive are intermittent, and only occasionally can they get some useful information; and this is far from the sun.
If it is too far away, the energy collection rate brought by solar energy is extremely low, and the satellite runs on batteries as the main energy source and cannot operate for a long time.
"It seems like a loss, but Dongyinhe Company will not be stingy in this regard."
Cao Chuan concluded, and then, Nana controlled the spacecraft to move closer and closer to this world filled with stars.
There are as many as 500,000 asteroids in the asteroid belt.
Their trajectories, tilt angles, and spectra are inconsistent.
In past studies, scientists have classified them according to these differences and divided them into several asteroid families.
Including the Flora Star Clan, the Judiciary Star Clan, the Crow Girl Star Clan, the Dawn Star Clan, and the Si Li Star Clan, each of them independently forms a whole, including the satellites they deploy.
If they do not follow the orbit of the asteroid, Aimless progress may result in the collision of orbits and destruction.
By advancing along the orbit of the asteroid family, the spacecraft drifts in the asteroid belt.
Even so, Nana is still walking on thin ice, fearing that the Nana Queen, whose target is not small, will be hit by an asteroid that suddenly appears, even if it is graphene.
Even if you create a super hard shell, it will still be smashed to pieces.
In order to reduce the probability of accidents, their cruising speed in the asteroid belt had to be reduced to 100 kilometers per second.
In this way, most of the asteroids behind them would eat dust behind them, making it impossible to catch up.
Therefore, the employees had the opportunity to continuously Browse through all the slightly famous stars in the asteroid belt.
Qiao Yunhe kept taking photos.
Taking photos at such a close range, coupled with the use of a 25-megapixel camera, the effect was far better than the equipment used by the asteroid belt detector sent by the Lighthouse State more than ten years ago.
"It's a pity that I can't post it."
As a young man, Qiao Yunhe still likes to show off.
If he posts a large close-up photo of Ceres, I don't know how many people will treat him like a god and worship him.
"Anyway, keep it for now."
He was open-minded and believed that the Nana Queen was born, and the exploration department would no longer be far away from owning it.
By then, they would have plenty of opportunities.
"I heard that the next Heng Yue-class spaceship will be the mass-produced version of Queen Nana.
The trade department has no reason to snatch it from us."
He thought confidently that in terms of purpose, the trade department would not look down on this kind of cargo.
It’s a small-volume spaceship.
How much profit will there be from using this kind of spaceship to carry cargo?
"When the time comes, let's make a mental model."
Qiao Yunhe knew that Nana was a real, perfect, and emotional artificial intelligence.

He was extremely envious of such a considerate and all-around assistant.
He could simply hand over all the work of the spacecraft and just lie down on his own.
Give orders.
He couldn't help but think of the female secretary he left behind on earth, and wondered how she was doing.
"This special operation is really worth it.
We saw Mars, came into contact with the asteroid belt, and even deployed satellites in person."
He couldn't help but feel proud when he thought that Sophia had no chance to participate because the exploration department was performing tasks outside.
While he was immersed in his imagination, Nana's voice sounded in his ears.
"Warning that the tail of the spacecraft was hit by a star and malfunctioned."
"Nana, what's wrong?"
Cao Chuan asked aloud,
While calling out the status of the spacecraft on the screen, it was clearly seen through the diagram that several cabins at the rear of the spacecraft had been destroyed by unknown objects, and all were displayed in red and lost contact.
When they played back the last surveillance footage, they saw that the culprit was a small rock half a meter in diameter.
Now that the cause of the problem has been found, how to deal with the problem is the most critical at this time, because no one can avoid such an accident in advance, and the one with the most say is undoubtedly the honorary consultant Cao Chuan.
Cao Chuan did not show any panic, thinking that the problem was not serious at last, "Nana, conduct an emergency cabin closure operation and send out our maintenance robot to try to repair the damaged cabin."
Nana replied calmly: "It is being executed.
Cabin 057 is closed, cabin 058 is closed, cabin 059 is closed, and cabin 060 is closed.
There is an exception."
"Put on your protective clothing and go take a look over there."
Cao Chuan turned around and gave the order.
He knew that the protective power of the protective clothing was trustworthy and he had no worries at all.
The nervous employees quickly organized and divided into small teams of several people to hurry up and go.
He asked again: "Nana, does the spacecraft need emergency maintenance?"
Nana answered after comprehensively checking the conditions of all cabins on the entire spacecraft: "Yes.
The outer shell of the spacecraft is severely damaged, and we need to perform maintenance for a day before we can speed up the escape from the asteroid belt."
"In that case" he stared at the rough map of the asteroid belt they had collected so far, and said calmly: "We will rest on this asteroid."
He clicked on the map, which marked the location of asteroid No. 403.
This star was less than 50,000 kilometers away from them and was located on the outer edge of the asteroid belt.
It was large enough and it would be good to hide behind it.
