Vol 2 Chapter 376: , Fuel, fuel

"Take action!"
In the asteroid belt, more than 20 minutes later, Taita Guangyi received an order from the earth. The whole person couldn't help but take a breath, and then gave a helpless command.
There are hundreds of people on the Huiye spacecraft, and there are cosmic astronomical scientists inside, enough to easily calculate whether Huiye can drag this asteroid back.
Obviously, Ota broadly knows the answer, but 20 million tons of gold, such a huge amount of wealth, is too important for Japan today, and the order above is also as expected. Bet.
The Huiye spacecraft's rocket propulsion system was re-ignited, but this time there was no power to fully open, and only two rockets emitted long white flames, which were very dazzling in this dark world.
The Huiye spacecraft is close to the asteroid. This is an asteroid with a diameter of less than 200 meters, but its density is very long and its mass is 120 million tons because it contains 2 million tons of gold.
"A small spaceship is out!"
With an order, the hatch of the Huiye spacecraft slowly opened, and two small spacecraft took off from the Huiye spacecraft and flew towards the asteroid. Like the Qinglong spacecraft mining asteroids, the Japanese It is also intended to use carbon fiber ropes to drag asteroids.
Two small spacecraft completed the job very smoothly, and the carbon fiber woven nets firmly anchored the asteroid.
At this time, the direction and speed of the spacecraft and the asteroids are the same, and they maintain a relatively static state with each other. The asteroids of the asteroid belt also have their own revolutions and autobiography, like the planets of Earth, Mars, and Venus.
Soon, the carbon fiber rope that netted the asteroid was fixed on the load-bearing keel of the Huiye spacecraft. Everyone returned to his post, put on the space suit, and fixed it firmly on the chair.
At the same time, a modified anti-gravity spacecraft took off from the Huiye spacecraft and followed the Huiye spacecraft several thousand kilometers away from the Huiye spacecraft.
This is just in case, in the event of a major accident, this anti-gravity spacecraft will be able to take everyone back to Earth, so that the entire army will not be destroyed.
"Team 1 is ready!"
"Group 2 is ready ~"
The control center of the Huiye spacecraft, Taida Guangyi, listening to the reports of the groups, took a deep breath and ordered: "Start!"
"It's time to gamble on the National Games, and I hope that the of sunshine will bless us again!"
At the same time, in his heart, he silently prayed.
"Boom ~"
The four heavy-duty carrier rockets were fully powered at once, and the surrounding dark space became brighter all at once. At the same time, the rocket generated huge vibrations, and huge sounds were transmitted through the steel connected by the spacecraft.
The speed of the Huiye spacecraft began to accelerate, and the rope connecting the Huiye spacecraft and the asteroid also began to slowly straighten, connecting the two firmly together.
Then on the Huiye spacecraft, everyone just felt that they were rushing forward, as if to tell a moving car to suddenly brake suddenly. Under the action of strong inertia, it seemed that everyone would be thrown out. Fortunately, one From the beginning, everyone was firmly fixed on the space chair, so there was no problem.
"Full power!"
It lasted for a few minutes, and the asteroid showed no signs of changing its trajectory. Ota broadly knew that the power was too small to drag the asteroid.
"Boom ~"
One after another, the remaining four rockets continued to ignite and began to spit out bright white dazzling flames, and the dim void became brighter.
The Huiye spacecraft was fully powered, and the eight launch vehicles generated terrible high temperatures, which caused the temperature of the surrounding void to rise sharply.
The carbon fiber rope collapsed straight and straight, firmly connecting the Huiye spacecraft with the asteroid, but the asteroid's trajectory remained unchanged.
"Amaterasu blessing ~"
"Drive to the limit."
"Onboard ~"
Ota broadly kept staring, seeing the asteroids show no signs of change, the whole man growled.
The eight launch vehicles on the Huiye spacecraft are slightly different from the previous launch vehicles used to launch satellites on Earth. In order to save fuel, the eight launch vehicles did not burn to the maximum when they started, so There are certain restrictions on power.
Because it is in space, there is no need to exert all the thrust at once, but the fuel is very precious, especially for such a distant place as the asteroid belt.
"Onboard ~"
With the broad roar of Ota, the people on the entire Huiye spacecraft roared like chicken blood, one after another.
Soon, the engineer's side completely lifted the restrictions on the rocket, allowing the power of the eight carrier rockets to be maximized.
"Boom ~"
More horrible vibrations and roars came, making everyone on the spacecraft look instantly changed, although in theory, if the eight launch vehicles of the spacecraft Huiye are fully powered, they can drag 120 million tons Asteroids of mass, but this is just theory.
A huge spaceship, its composition is extremely complicated, and if any place goes wrong, it can cause fatal accidents under extreme conditions.
When Uncle Sam launched the space shuttle, it was only because the weather was too cold and cold during launch that a material on the launch rocket was slightly deformed due to thermal expansion and contraction. As a result, the rocket exploded and the shuttle was directly blown up. All seven astronauts were killed.
It is here only to know that when using traditional rocket power technology, the fault tolerance rate is too low. Any small mistake can ruin the launch failure, and the cost is extremely arrogant.
That is the emergence of anti-gravity technology, which has promoted the arrival of the interstellar space age.
The tail flames spit out by 8 heavy-duty carrier rockets are continuously elongated in the void, becoming more white and dazzling, and the surrounding void becomes brighter. Looking from a distance, it is like a giant firefly Catching his prey in the void, trying very hard to drag the prey.
The asteroid trembled slightly, and its trajectory began to change slowly under the influence of powerful forces.
"Changed, changed ~"
Saburo Nishizawa, who was stopping all of the above on the spacecraft Yuya, could not help shouting excitedly.
"Come on!"
Ota broad smiled on his face, and said silently in his heart.
Although the trajectory of the asteroid has changed, the magnitude of the change is too small, and it has not reached the predetermined requirements. It must be continuously pushed until it reaches the predetermined trajectory.
"The fuel consumption is too fast. The fuel in the rocket is almost exhausted. We need to cease the fire and add fuel to the rocket."
However, it hasn't been long before Ota was happy, and Saburo Nishizawa, who had been staring at the fuel, couldn't help crying.
The eight heavy-duty carrier rockets are fully fired and the power is very strong, but the fuel consumed is extremely horrible. In just ten minutes, the fuel in the rocket has been consumed.
"Turn off the fire, speed fuels the rocket."
Ota broadly reluctantly ordered, there is no way, when the spacecraft Hui Ye was originally designed for safety reasons, there is no design that can burn while adding fuel.
Because such a design is very unsafe, once an accident occurs, the entire Huiye spacecraft is equivalent to a large gunpowder, and any of the eight carrier rockets will blow up the Huiye spacecraft.
Therefore, after the fuel of these 8 carrier rockets is burned out, the rocket must be shut down and refueled. It must also be accelerated in stages when accelerating. There is no way to accelerate it in place at one time.
After more than an hour, the rocket was refilled with fuel, and it began to spray the long white flame again, and began to drag the asteroid ~ EbookFREE.me ~, which it wanted to change.
Like last time, this time successfully changed a little asteroid's trajectory, but at the critical moment, the fuel of the carrier rocket was burnt out again.
"Hit ~"
"It won't work like this, we may not be able to change its trajectory to the intended effect when we run out of fuel."
"Can only give up!"
In the broader mind of Ota, new trajectories and data calculated by scientists appeared. They were too far away from the set point, but the fuel on the spacecraft was almost at its limit.
If it is consumed in this way, the fuel of the Huiye spacecraft flying back to the earth is not enough, and Ota is desperate. Everything is calculated, but on this small detail, the rocket burns too fast. , Especially in the case of full power.
There is no way to continue to exert power on the asteroids, there are too many, too many wasteful places in the middle, and eventually lead to the current situation.
Very embarrassing, it is possible to change the asteroid's trajectory to the set trajectory in this way, but then the fuel on the Huiye spacecraft is used up, and when some minor adjustments are needed later, there is no Any room.
Similarly, even if it relies on inertia to return to the earth, because there is no fuel, the spacecraft will not be able to slow down at all, maybe the earth will pass by. The key is that after the asteroid is hauled to the earth, it needs to be corrected. It slows down, reducing its speed enough to be captured by the gravity of the earth.
"No, it's already this time. You can't give up. How can you give up on the National Games?"
"If they can come back to Earth, they will definitely have a way to send us fuel!"
Sashiro Nishizawa, with red eyes, said unwillingly.
