In the quiet space, looking over from the Earth's ultra-high power telescope, a series of light spots on the asteroid belt each represent an asteroid.

From the earth, these small light spots are very numerous, dense, as if they are crowded. In many people's imagination, there should be a large stone-like asteroid less than a few hundred meters away, orbiting the same orbit, and occasionally collisions or something happens.

The situation is actually very different.

Although there are indeed thousands of asteroids in the asteroid belt, the orbit of the asteroid belt is much larger than the orbit of the earth around the sun, which is calculated in 100 million kilometers! How much is the circumference of the earth? It is only 40,000 kilometers!

So in fact, although the diameter of asteroids larger than asteroids reaches hundreds of kilometers, the distance between asteroids is relatively far when they are actually spread to the entire orbit. It is normal to have tens of thousands of kilometers apart!

Therefore, when Lin Tianfeng brought the asteroid belt with a space plane formation and found the target asteroid, he looked at the dark space around him, and even with his intelligence level far beyond ordinary giant computers, he felt helpless.

It is okay to build a space base here, but it is still difficult to achieve the expected goals.

However, the asteroid I have found has a diameter of more than 200 kilometers and is quite large in area. Although the surface of the asteroid is not regular, the operation of this asteroid is very stable and does not have a very fast autobiography, which is more conducive to establishing a base on it.

However, Lin Tianfeng did not immediately ask the robots on the aerospace plane to establish a base, but instead sent out five aerospace planes to search nearby.

Lin Dong's secret order to Lin Tianfeng at that time not only wanted to find the mother body of the meteorite, but also found an asteroid with the energy crystal ore. Both of these things were very important. Lin Tianfeng did not forget at all.

Moreover, although this area is found now and calibrated according to the coordinates, it may be that the parent asteroid of the meteorite is more suitable for establishing a base, it is not certain whether there are any asteroids more suitable for establishing a base nearby.

This base is not for short-term use, and it is very likely that it will also add additional functions, so naturally the more appropriate the better.

The five aerospace planes were very fast, and without taking people, they were more than 100,000 kilometers per hour. Soon, the seven aerospace planes respectively sent messages.

In this huge asteroid belt, there are still some larger asteroids nearby. The closest one is about 80,000 kilometers, and the next one is 120,000 kilometers away.

As for the asteroid with energy crystals mentioned by Lin Dong, the specific location is not without clues, but the approximate range given by Lin Dong. The range is radius of 30,000 kilometers. There are three asteroids in this range, which are not small in size. It cannot be determined before detection.

However, it is the current asteroid that is suitable for building a base.

After reaching this conclusion, Lin Tianfeng ordered the Aerospace Plane to return, and the Aerospace Plane here unloaded the supplies and began to build a base.

Although the diameter of an asteroid is 200 kilometers, it is not small. With such a large size, it is not much gravity. Not to mention it is much smaller than on Earth, or even on Earth.

So, building a base on this asteroid is a very important issue.

Fortunately, this asteroid is stone-like. Although the textures are different in some places, it is still very easy to drill holes in general.

The aerospace plane stopped on the asteroid, and immediately shot out several steel cables, penetrated deeply into the asteroid, fixing the aerospace plane. Next, the machine octopus came down in batches, then used steel cables, unloaded supplies, and started infrastructure.

In the era when China was called the infrastructure madman, various infrastructures had already formed a complete set of procedures. Although Changying Group did not do much like establishing a base in space, before flying in, Changying Group had already done deductions. It had a complete set of procedures for how to establish a base and a mechanism to deal with various complex situations. Therefore, these mechanical octopuses quickly chose the most correct way to build it.

Because the asteroid rotates and is not very stable, many materials that are not used for a while have not been unloaded. Except for one, the other planes have been fixed on the asteroid.

Lin Tianfeng rode the only space plane that was unbuttoned and observed around the asteroid.

The asteroid is irregular in shape, and it can be seen that it has collided many times in billions of years after the formation of this asteroid, and there are irregular defects of all sizes on the edges. Because the asteroid belt has no atmosphere, this defect looks very clear and is not like the stones on the earth. After being damaged, after many years of weathering, the original traces cannot be found.

The aerospace plane is very close to the edge of the asteroid, so close that as long as the asteroid's rotation trajectory changes slightly, it can directly knock the aerospace plane away. However, Lin Tianfeng was very confident and drove the asteroid while observing.

Soon, Lin Tianfeng locked the radar at a huge defect at the edge of the asteroid.

According to the shape, it can be roughly seen that this place was originally a protruding part, but I don’t know what hit me, and the protruding part was knocked off, forming a small gap.

The size of the gap is obviously much larger than the meteorite exchanged on Earth, but Lin Tianfeng knew that it is very likely, or at least 80% sure, that the meteorite on Earth was the one that flew to the earth after being hit!

Of course, Lin Tianfeng did not see it from the shape. The shape of the gap is very different from that of the meteorite. After all, it is impossible to form only one piece after the impact. There are very likely multiple pieces of debris. The larger piece is flying to the earth. This piece also has to undergo friction and combustion of the atmosphere, and the shape naturally changes greatly.

The reason why Lin Tianfeng was roughly determined was based on the radar scanning on the aerospace plane. This radar has been specially modified and can analyze the spectral structure of the material at the gap. The structure here and the structure of the meteorite have more than 90% similarities!

Subsequently, the aerospace plane moved closer to the gap according to Lin Tianfeng's adjustment, and slowly began to adjust the flight posture. Lin Tianfeng even directly changed the driving mode to the following mode in autonomous driving, which made the aerospace plane quickly run with the orbit of the asteroid's rotation and revolution.

When the aeroplane is only a few meters away from the asteroid, and the angle and speed of the flight rotation are almost exactly the same, a steel cable shot out directly from the aeroplane and pierced towards the edge of the gap. At the end of the steel cable is a piece of metal. When it hits it, it directly smashes many large and small pieces of debris from the gap. Then the aeroplane immediately retracts the steel cable, then scans to determine the larger ones among the debris, follow up, pokes out the steel to grab, and directly grabs the debris back into the aeroplane.

It's done!
