Chapter 1880: Crossing the Kuiper Belt
‘Dad, how can the space here be empty! Whatever happened, we should see some celestial bodies too! Feifei said again in a puzzled manner.
Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘Ordinarily, this place is still the inner space of the sun, and some celestial bodies should be able to be seen. ’
'Yes! Then why are there no celestial bodies here? He said, looking at the empty space outside the porthole in a puzzled manner.
‘Regardless of him, let’s keep flying forward! If there are no small celestial bodies, then when we fly, we will be very safe. Isn't this great! Zhao Zhongyao looked at Chu Ye and said.
‘That’s what Dad said, then let’s fly forward quickly! Feifei said so too.
‘It doesn’t matter if there are no celestial bodies here. When we get into the Oort Cloud, we will be able to see countless small celestial bodies. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.
‘Okay, then let’s hurry up and take a look inside the Oort Cloud. Feifei became very interested in this Oort Cloud.
So, Zhao Zhongyao drove the spacecraft again and flew towards the edge of the solar system.
However, when Zhao Zhongyao flew the spacecraft again for a few minutes, some small celestial bodies suddenly appeared in the space ahead.
Zhao Zhongyao was still very puzzled, and didn't understand what these small celestial bodies were. Feifei didn't understand what kind of planet the small celestial bodies in front were.
‘Dad, what are the small celestial bodies in front of me? There were no celestial bodies just now, why suddenly some small celestial bodies appeared. Said Feifei puzzledly.
‘I don’t know, let’s fly over and take a look. After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he drove the spaceship again and flew towards those small celestial bodies.
Soon, they flew around those small celestial bodies. Only then, Zhao Zhongyao discovered that these small celestial bodies were all very small, with a diameter of less than 50 meters. If you are not very close, you can't see these small celestial bodies at all.
‘Dad, what kind of celestial bodies are these and how can they appear here. Feifei asked, looking at the small celestial body outside the porthole.
‘It looks like an ordinary space rock! There is nothing special about these small celestial bodies. Zhao Zhongyao also observed those small celestial bodies, and felt that there was nothing special, just ordinary space rocks.
‘Dad, it seems that these small celestial bodies have no research value, so let’s continue to fly forward! Feifei said again.
‘Okay, we continue to fly forward. After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he drove the spaceship again and flew towards the edge of the solar system.
However, when they flew for a few minutes, they saw that there were more and more small celestial bodies outside the portholes, not a few, but thousands.
The spacecraft traveling through these celestial bodies is also somewhat dangerous. Zhao Zhongyao had to slow down for fear of directly hitting these small celestial bodies.
You know, whether it is a spacecraft or a small celestial body, it is now moving at a very fast speed. The speed of these small celestial bodies is at least 60,000 kilometers per hour. The speed of the spacecraft is faster, almost a million kilometers per hour.
If this time, the spacecraft accidentally hits these small celestial bodies. Even a small celestial body with a diameter of only a few tens of meters can crush a spacecraft.
Therefore, Zhao Zhongyao had to slow down the speed of the spacecraft, because there are too many small celestial bodies here, if it does not slow down, it is afraid that it will be dangerous.
As a result, Zhao Zhongyao had to slow down the speed of the spacecraft and let the spacecraft travel slowly among these small celestial bodies.
Of course, this ‘slow’ speed is also relatively speaking. In fact, it is very fast. At least 80,000 kilometers per hour.
Originally, Zhao Zhongyao didn't care, he felt that after flying for a while, they could fly out of these small celestial bodies. But what made Zhao Zhongyao feel strange was that they flew for another half an hour and still did not fly out of this dense area of ​​small celestial bodies.
‘Dad, why haven’t we fly out of this area, how many small celestial bodies are there, why can’t we fly out? Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked.
Zhao Zhongyao was also very puzzled. He shook his head and said, ‘I don’t know, we can only go ahead and fly another distance. ’
After speaking, Zhao Zhongyao flew away again, driving the spacecraft. But they flew for a while, and they saw many small celestial bodies.
It's just that these small celestial bodies are a bit special, and they are not the same as the small celestial bodies before. The small celestial bodies before were just some ordinary rock celestial bodies. But these new small celestial bodies turned out to be like huge blocks of ice.
Zhao Zhongyao was very surprised when he saw these huge ice cubes. Of course, Feifei was also surprised when he saw these ice-like celestial bodies. Feifeixiang thought of something. He immediately looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked, ‘Dad, will this be the Oort Cloud? Have we already flown into the Oort Cloud. ’
After hearing what Feifei said, Zhao Zhongyao carefully observed the celestial bodies outside the porthole, then looked back at Feifei and shook his head and said, ‘this is not the Oort Cloud. We have not yet flown out of the inner space of the solar system, how could we get to the Oort Cloud! ’
‘Dad, where is this place, how can there be so many small celestial bodies. Feifei looked at the small celestial body outside and asked Zhao Zhongyao in a puzzled way.
Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘This should be the Kuiper belt. ’
After hearing this, Feifei said in a puzzled manner, ‘Dad, how could this be the Kuiper belt! We have already flown out of the Kuiper Belt. ’
After hearing Feifei’s words, Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘The Kuiper belt is a huge space. It is divided into the inner Kuiper belt and the outer Kuiper belt. Like Pluto and Eris are celestial bodies in the inner Kuiper belt. In the outer space of the Kuiper Belt, there are still many celestial bodies that we humans do not yet understand. ’
Feifei felt reasonable after hearing what his father said. So he asked again, ‘Dad, how many kilometers is the Kuiper belt, and when will we be able to fly out? ’
Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘The width of this Kuiper belt is at least thirty astronomical units. We have to fly for a while before we can fly out of this huge Kuiper belt space. ’
Feifei didn't ask anything anymore after hearing what his father said. He sat quietly in the spaceship, his eyes peeping at the small celestial bodies outside.
Everything here is very mysterious to Feifei. After all, this is a place that humans have never set foot in.
