Moon and Jupiter collide!

That's Hawk's plan. But there is a big hole in this plan, that is, the fuel consumption problem before reaching Titan.

With Earth's current technology, launch spacecraft are rockets to obtain power, to reach the second cosmic speed, after breaking free of the Earth's gravitational field, the spacecraft is mainly by inertia to fly, the fuel carried, only to do some orbital fine-tuning, as well as the necessary acceleration and deceleration and so on. Of course, this is not the case with Hawk's ship.

The ship was assembled in geosynchronous orbit, then relied on its own fuel to break free of the Earth's gravitational field and began to set off into outer space. Although the ship had already stocked as much fuel as possible at the beginning, and Hawk had optimized the fuel utilization rate to the maximum, breaking free from the Earth's gravitational field had consumed 35 percent of the total fuel, and after several accelerations, the fuel that Hawk was carrying now was only 60 percent of the maximum.

The fuel required to maintain the back of Mars for a long time is not a small amount. Moreover, the need to slow down when reaching Mars orbit, need to accelerate when leaving the gravitational field of Mars, and need to slow down when reaching Titan, these, all need to consume a lot of fuel.

Originally, Hawk's plan was to fly directly to Io. Because Io is the most likely place in the solar system in addition to the Earth exists liquid water. There is liquid water, with the help of the local special environment and some special technical means, Hawk can collect liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel, and then dive into the study of nuclear fusion technology, until the complete mastery of nuclear fusion engine technology, and then collect enough fusion fuel from Jupiter, Hawk will leave the solar system and fly to outer space. Now a good plan, all by the moon hit Jupiter this thing spoiled.

In desperation, Hawk adjusted the direction of the engine jets, changed the orbit, and flew towards Mars.

Time has nearly passed ten days. In this period of time, the moon has crossed the orbit of Mars, like a wild beast, all the way towards Jupiter sped away. Hawk's camera, too, was watching the moon closely.

Twenty days passed in a flash. The fiery red Mars appeared in Hawke's field of vision as expected.

After slowing down, Hawke's ship's speed had dropped to four thousand meters per second. This deceleration, and consumed at least five percent of the fuel, will Hawk heartache straight grin.

But these consumption is necessary, if not slow down, the ship will and Mars brush, only when the speed of about four kilometers per second, will be captured by Mars, and thus enter the orbit around Mars.

After successfully entering orbit around Mars at an altitude of 3,000 kilometers, Hawk slowly rotated around Mars and began to quietly wait for the moment when the great impact would come.

This height is the best height that Hawk has come up with after precise calculations. At this altitude, both the ship can be completely hidden in the back of Mars to avoid the energy burst from the impact, to escape the gravitational force of Mars, but also to minimize the consumption of energy.

Hawk's ship is now doing a circular motion similar to a circle with Mars as the center. With Hawk's current speed, it would take less than two hours to circle Mars.

The moon has not yet hit Jupiter, meteorite blocks from Earth have already begun to visit Mars. In recent times, the density and quality of meteorite impact events on Mars have increased significantly, looking at Mars from time to time burst out of the dodgy flash, Hawk heart began to worry inexplicably.

The meteorite blocks from Earth obviously still have the characteristics of the existence of life above. For example, this piece of meteorite is three hundred meters long and fifty meters wide, with an albedo of zero.7, and obviously has a very smooth and bright surface. Hawk speculated that this might be a meteorite composed mainly of steel.

Hawk's eyes are greedy, very much want to take this piece of steel in the bag. After all, the future transformation of the ship, but the need for a large number of materials. But the reality obviously let Hawk disappointed. Not to mention the size of such a huge block of meteorites, even a small stone, Hawk did not have the ability to collect. After all, at such a high speed, a small stone meteorite is equivalent to a grenade, now the Hawk, can no longer withstand these unexpected blows.

This is also the biggest piece of meteorite in a while. At the beginning, the Tungus explosion that occurred on Earth, is presumed to be a meteorite of about thirty meters in diameter hit the Earth, caused by the disintegration in the atmosphere, that explosion, the energy equivalent to the energy intensity of more than a thousand Hiroshima atomic bombs. Now this steel meteorite, the mass and volume are more than dozens of times larger than that one.

Fortunately, Hawk's ship happened to be on the other side of Mars when the impact occurred. But even so, through the optical telescope, Hawk also observed the huge impact of this meteorite on Mars.

The huge shock wave increased the eccentricity of Mars by 0.2 percentage points, and a 10,000-meter-high mountain rose abruptly at the back of the impact point, while countless volcanoes that had been dead on Mars began to erupt again, covering almost the entire surface of Mars with thick smoke and dust, and the permafrost ice at the poles was melted, and a rainfall of 10,000 years occurred on Mars. At the same time, several violent earthquakes almost changed the entire face of Mars.

Hawk learned more deeply the saying, "The whole solar system, an exquisite overall structure, involves one hair and moves the whole body."

The explosion of the Earth is not just a matter of the Earth. The explosion of the Earth is destined to affect the entire solar system, and is huge, not to be underestimated impact.

Looking at all this, Hawk heart inexplicably sad, there is a kind of rabbit death feeling: "Now, even if there are creatures on Mars, but also to die."

In addition to the flexibility to dodge a few from the impact of the debris splashed from Mars, the impact occurred on Mars, basically no impact on Hawk. If hard to say, is to let Hawk on the moon impact Jupiter can cause the impact of the estimate, and rose another stage.

Thinking about it, Hawk actually began to vaguely look forward to this impact: "Such a level of impact, not to say the entire galaxy, at least in the third cantilever of this acre, can be considered rare, right? I can actually witness such a big event, this life, it is not in vain."

Time, twenty days had passed. There are still ten days left before the estimated time of impact.
