In space, the Hades spacecraft advanced at a high speed of more than 150 kilometers per second. As Hades flew over the orbit of Neptune, they were getting closer and closer to their final goal.

After spending nearly a year in space, Raymond Anthony was already impatient, and he even wished he could reach Pluto in the next second. Since Doolittle reported to him that Hades was expected to arrive at Pluto in five days, Raymond Anthony asked Doolittle almost every day how far away it was from Pluto, as if he could arrive one second in advance every time he asked more.

The same is true today. When Doolittle just finished his conversation with Raymond Anthony, Hull, who was sitting on the other side, smiled at him: "What? Our Poss is asking you when you arrive again?"

Doolittle had no choice but to spread his hands. Although approaching Pluto was extremely excited for all the entire Hades ships, Raymond Anthony's reaction seemed to be a little too far, which made Doolittle very puzzled.

"Maybe he was worried about whether he could arrive alive." Hull made a random joke, and Doolittle couldn't help but be happy after hearing it. But they didn't expect that Hull's joke was actually Raymond Anthony's true mentality, because after nearly a year of flying, Raymond Anthony obviously felt much older.

The Hades has an artificial gravity system, a complete ecological balance circle and a comfortable environment, especially Raymond Anthony's cabin is no different from his Little Rock home. In addition, the high-tech simulation scene can almost make people feel the same life as the earth.

However, this is just "almost". It is not real. No matter how realistic the things are, they cannot be compared with the original ones. Moreover, no matter how big the huge Hades is, they are just a spacecraft, and their range of activities is very limited. Moreover, there is a little psychological pressure in flying in space. Although Raymond Anthony is not an ordinary person, he cannot avoid this pressure. More importantly, another year has passed, and no matter how well his age and physical functions are maintained, it cannot prevent him from gradually aging.

In the eyes of Dulite and Hull, Hades' successful completion of the mission is in front of him, and the final success is firmly in his hands. The Russian Starry Sky spacecraft has no threat to them. As early as a few months ago, Hades discovered that there seemed to be some problems with the starry sky, and the distance between the two began to grow longer and longer. Now, their distance has long exceeded the certain range, and perhaps Starry Sky has returned long ago because of the spacecraft.

As for the Chinese spacecraft, Doolittle has been paying great attention from the beginning, but as time goes by, Hades has not found the location of the Chinese spacecraft at all, as if the Chinese had never launched a spacecraft, which inevitably makes him wonder.

"You said, where will the Chinese be now?" Thinking of this, Doolittle asked Hull.

Hull thought for a while, then shook his head: "I can't judge. By the way, why did you suddenly remember to ask the Chinese?"

Doolittle rested his hands behind his head, leaning deeply on the back of the chair, but his brows frowned slightly: "I just think it's a little strange."

"strangeness?"

Dulite pursed his lips and said, "It's just a feeling, and this feeling makes me feel very uncomfortable. The Chinese spacecraft has not been under our surveillance since the beginning, and now I don't know where it has gone. Hull, aren't you surprised?"

Hull laughed and said, "I said to Dorit, my old friend. Are you nervous because you have been in space for a long time? I admit that the Chinese are a bit mysterious, but so what? Now we have reached the orbit of Pluto and even throw the Russians away. What does the Chinese have to do with us no matter how mysterious the Chinese are. Okay, old friend, now I should think about what to do after reaching the target. As for the Chinese, haha, maybe they just walked around in space and went back. "

Hull's words made Doolittle laugh, but when he thought about it carefully, Hull was right. Although the Chinese spacecraft took off directly from the earth, Doolittle was very surprised. However, as a senior astronaut in the United States, Doolittle, like all the astronauts on the Hades, has great confidence in the powerful technology of the United States.

In their opinion, Hades is undoubtedly the best spacecraft that humans can build. The Russians' spacecraft are not as good as them, let alone the Chinese. As Hull said, China may have just used a kind of opportunistic technology to complete the ground liftoff, but after all, the overall technology is far less than that of the powerful United States. According to this logic, the Chinese spacecraft may be far away from the Russian Starry Sky, or perhaps they have returned due to technical problems.

Although Doolittle forced himself to convince him with this reason, for some reason he still felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart. However, this feeling was soon forgotten by him, because at this time Hades was getting closer and closer to Pluto.

The last moment is coming. When Pluto approaches, Hades makes the same deceleration control as Pioneer, and then manipulates the spacecraft to approach Pluto's space low-Earth orbit to observe Pluto first and then determine the next step.

Without relying on the powerful intelligent system like Su Li of Pioneer to assist in the operation, Hades's own central computer system and rich driving experience with astronauts, Hades' slowing navigation was still perfect. This is enough to show the superb skills of Captain Doolittle and his friend Hull. Second only to be the first, they are undoubtedly called one of the best astronauts in the United States and even the world.

"Maintain balanced deceleration and pay attention to the track cutting angle!"

"Understand, balanced speed reduction, pay attention to the angle of the track!"

Now, they are very close to Pluto. According to the current slowdown calculation, they will enter Pluto orbit in about 1 hour, 28 minutes and 32 seconds, and then rotate around Pluto in a satellite posture. At this time, Raymond Anthony, who could not hold back, came to the bridge in person.

"Is this Pluto?" Sitting in the wide seat specially prepared for him, Raymond Anthony stared at the gray-yellow planet slowly turning in the universe. At this moment, an indescribable look appeared on Raymond Anthony's face. He seemed to have suddenly become dozens of years younger.

"Mr. Doolittle, please scan Pluto and let us see how many surprises it is." Raymond Anthony raised his hand and pointed at Pluto. Doolittle, who had been prepared for a long time, understood what he meant and immediately issued an order to scan and detect the surface of Pluto.

After the command was issued, the central computer of the Hades spacecraft began to work, scan data and formed through the computer, and then gradually displayed on the screen. The shape of the entire Pluto star body gradually became clear from the outline. After a while, a complete Pluto holographic image was displayed in front of everyone. When Pluto began to rotate slowly with the simulation of electronic data combination, it showed various complex terrain such as circumferential mountains and canyons on its surface. When it rotated to a certain angle, everyone present let out a burst of exclamation at the same time. Even Raymond Anthony, who was sitting, could not control his inner shock and excitement, and couldn't help but stand up. (To be continued)
