When the spacecraft ends the acceleration phase, basically there will be no problems.
When Ye Su gave the instruction to enter the cruise mode, all the crew members let out a long sigh, letting out their tight nerves a little bit.
Just when the spacecraft is accelerating, the crew needs to pay attention to a lot of things. The spacecraft is very busy during the acceleration phase, but when it comes to the smooth flight phase, there is much less work to do.
When the Pioneer is switched to cruise mode, only a part of the crew is required to care about the spacecraft's situation, and they do not need to make any operations.
The cruise mode spacecraft does not require the crew to control anything. There is nothing in space anyway. The Blazer can fly straight towards the target without even turning.
This mode is also the normal state of the spacecraft. After the acceleration is over, the crew can relax, or even take turns to take a rest.
If the crew has been as nervous as just now, they won't be able to travel in space for too long.
When a spacecraft travels long distances, most of the time it will be in cruise mode.
It will not take long to accelerate, and it will basically be in a stable flight state.
In fact, like the crew on a spacecraft, in addition to the acceleration during takeoff and the deceleration upon arrival at the destination, there is not much work that needs to be done at other times.
Many tasks that require manpower to do have been replaced by robots on the spacecraft.
When in a cruising state, all the crew has to do is normal maintenance.
Routine maintenance is only needed for long-distance space travel, and the purpose is to keep the entire spacecraft in good working order during the long flight.
The flight from Earth to Neptune in the solar system is really a short journey compared with the flight between galaxies that lasted for several years.
In this trial flight, which lasted a few hours, even routine maintenance was not required.
Now the astronauts can finally take a short rest, and Ye Su, the temporary captain, can relax for a while and enjoy this space travel.
Ye Su took the ice drink inside and walked to the forefront of the bridge.
Here you can see the scenery outside the spacecraft through the transparent windows in the front section of the spacecraft.
Now the Blazer’s speed has reached half the speed of light, and the cosmic scenery is seen at this speed, which is completely different from usual.
In Ye Su's eyes, the surrounding stars flew backwards at high speed. This was a visual error caused by the movement of the spacecraft.
Especially the planets in the solar system are changing very fast now. Since these planets are relatively close to the spacecraft, the visual changes produced are very obvious.
Ye Su looked at the constantly changing scenery outside the spacecraft while tasting the ice drink in his hand. This feeling still made him feel very good.
It didn't take long for Jupiter to appear in Ye Su's eyes, and the appearance of this gas planet was still very special.
This planet is like full of flowing gas, and all kinds of gas are intertwined to create a wonderful scenery.
Especially the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, Ye Su saw this thing at a glance.
The Great Red Spot is a giant updraft with a length of 40,000 kilometers, which makes the red spot on Jupiter look very obvious.
The Great Red Spot on Jupiter has lasted for hundreds of years, which means that this storm has been blowing for hundreds of years.
This storm may continue for a long, long time. I don't know how long it will take to stop slowly.
After a period of time, the Trailblazer slowly moved away from Jupiter. Jupiter, a giant gas planet, kept getting smaller in Ye Su's eyes.
Soon the Pioneer entered the voyage between Jupiter and Saturn, leaving Jupiter and flying towards Saturn.
Ye Su kept watching the scenery outside the spacecraft, watching the Saturn in front of him keep getting bigger.
After another period of flight, the Blazer finally approached the orbit of Saturn.
Saturn began to become clear in Ye Su's eyes, allowing him to see the full picture of Saturn clearly.
The first thing that left a deep image for Ye Su was the iconic Saturn ring of Saturn.
The ring of Saturn is located around Saturn's equator and is made up of a large piece of rubble and ice.
The huge ring surrounding the real Saturn seems to be very shocking.
Observing Saturn from close range, it looks like a ball made up of many rings.
The earthy yellow planet surface with a circle of rings around it looks indescribable.
Because the Blazer’s speed was too fast, Ye Su could not watch Saturn for a long time. Soon the Blazer skipped Saturn and continued to fly towards Neptune.
Ye Su has nothing to regret not being able to observe Saturn carefully.
Anyway, if you have time in the future, you can come here at will, or this time trial is more important.
After watching the view of Saturn, Ye Su sat back in his seat with satisfaction.
Seeing the scenery of different planets in the solar system is also the main purpose of Ye Su's following.
Because there was nothing to see now, Ye Su sat back honestly.
The following is the journey from Saturn to Uranus, but this time Ye Su can't see Uranus.
Because Uranus is on the other side of its orbit, orbiting on the back of the sun, and is not on the same side as Neptune.
The Blazers would not detour at such a distance, so I had to wait for the next time.
After watching the scenery outside the spacecraft, Ye Su quietly waited for the spacecraft to reach its destination.
After several hours of flying, the Blazer finally reached the end of this test voyage, Neptune, the most distant planet in the solar system.
The appearance of Neptune slowly appeared in Ye Su's eyes, and he had to get up again and walk to the front section of the bridge to observe this mysterious planet carefully.
This planet has a pale blue appearance, especially from a little further away, Neptune seems to be full of sea water.
Maybe this is the origin of Neptune's name, it looks like a planet full of sea water.
