The Shenzhou starts to change orbit inward from the geosynchronous orbit and enters the return procedure.

"A meteorite appeared in front of me, with a diameter of about five meters. It is expected to be captured by the earth's gravity and fall into the atmosphere." The crew of the Shenzhou crew found UFOs on the radar, and after observation and confirmation, they reported it.

"Five meters in diameter? This meteorite is a bit big." Han Youwei's first reaction was that this meteorite was too big.

Eve was not sure, and frowned and asked, "Youwei, will this meteorite hit the ground?"

"It is not 100% certain whether it can hit the earth or not depends on the density and main substance of the meteorites. If it is ice, it will burn out in the atmosphere. If the main element is iron, it will definitely hit the ground, and it will be powerful." Han Youwei met with an article about meteors and meteorites I had read before.

"So is the meteorite with a diameter of five meters very large?" Eve was still not sure.

"If the main substances are iron and rocks, the diameter is already very large. If it is ice, don't worry." Han Youwei explained again.

Niu Dazhi scratched his head and asked strangely: "Is there any ice made of meteorites?"

"Of course, the temperature in the universe is very low, and most areas are approaching absolute zero. Is it strange to have ice cubes?" Eve instinctively turned back to him.

Fang Yuan roughly learned about the data of this meteorite and asked: "Can you confirm the main substance of this meteorite?"

Zhao Anya replied: "From the spectral analysis, the main elements are iron and silicon, and the density is relatively high. According to this mass, after being captured by the earth's gravity, it will fall into the atmosphere and turn into a meteor and smash into the ground. The impact will be very powerful, and if it hits the city, the situation will be worse.

"However, most areas of the earth are oceans, and even on land, the proportion of cities is relatively small, so the probability of falling into cities is relatively small."

Fang Yuan thought about it, looked at Yang Yuping in the video communication, and asked: "Professor, do you need to break this meteorite?"

If a meteorite with a diameter of five meters hits the ground, its power will be quite terrifying.

However, for Fang Yuan, he can blow it with one punch.

Yang Yuping waved his hand and dissuaded: "It is not suitable to break it. After it is broken, the fragments will fall into the atmosphere and will indeed burn out. There is no need to worry about hitting the ground.

"However, your current location is the synchronous orbit of the earth, and there are a large number of satellites there. If you break this meteorite, a lot of debris may fall into the synchronous orbit, and hitting the satellite will cause huge losses."

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "This is the pair, then just pull the meteorite into the spacecraft and bring it back to the ground. Is this a solution OK?"

"This plan is OK, meteorites have research value. However, there is no plan to leave the spacecraft and carry space material back in the test flight plan of Shenzhou, so you need to apply to the headquarters." Yang Yuping frowned, not hoping that Shenzhou's return would be unexpected, so he had the idea that it would be better to have less than more things.

"Then apply to the headquarters. I'll go out and move the meteorite in." Fang Yuan thought this plan was feasible.

"Wait, don't worry." Yang Yuping turned around and discussed with other scientific researchers.

Ten minutes later, the headquarters' decision was passed down.

Yang Yuping sat in front of the video communication and said in a serious tone: "Fang Yuan, the headquarters has agreed to your plan. However, before contacting the meteorite, 32 tests will be performed.

"Confirm the main components of the meteorites, as well as whether there is radioactivity, etc.

"After confirming that all detections are not problematic, the meteorite was dragged into the A1 transport compartment of Shenzhou and the A1 transport compartment was completely blocked.

"All persons who come into contact with meteorites must undergo strict quarantine and disinfection before they can return to the cockpit."

Fang Yuan knew that these steps were necessary, so he nodded and agreed.

There may be many possibilities for an alien meteorite.

If there are a large number of radioactive elements in meteorites, humans may experience physical lesions when they come into close contact.

Therefore, radioactive detection is a must.

Similarly, there is quarantine and disinfection.

Although the possibility of encountering alien creatures in the universe is very low, there are still possibilities.

Alien creatures include not only intelligent creatures, bacteria and viruses like humans.

Therefore, foreign meteorites may also have viruses and bacteria from other planets.

If this foreign microorganism really enters the earth, it may cause a disaster.

Although the chance of this situation is very small, once it occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Take Zhao Anya over and conducts a comprehensive inspection of the meteorite, and then drag it into the Shenzhou transportation cabin." Yang Yuping emphasized again at last.

"Okay, I understand." Fang Yuan agreed and looked back.

Zhao Anya has already assembled the oxygen supply system and small power plants needed in the battle suit.

Because she does not have the ability to fly in space, she needs to equip the power device on her suit to avoid floating in space and unable to return to the spacecraft.

Of course, if there is a source of the situation, the probability of this happening is very small, but the power device still needs to be installed.

After obtaining permission from the headquarters, the Shenzhou changed its direction slightly and flew towards the meteorite.

When approaching three kilometers away from the meteorite, the action to capture the meteorite officially began.

Fang Yuan and Zhao Anya walked through the long passage of Shenzhou. When they walked to the exit gate, the passage behind them had been closed to isolate the air.

Fang Yuan glanced at Zhao Anya and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Zhao Anya spread her hands and asked back: "What's there to be nervous about?"

"This should be your first outer space mission, right? You ran to outer space for a walk without any training, which sounds very exciting." Fang Yuan smiled.

"I don't think there is any problem, it's almost the same as swimming in the sea." Zhao Anya was not worried at all.

After all, there are several super warriors in the Shenzhou. Even if something happens, it can be remedied. There is no need to worry.

The door slowly rose up.

Since there is no air in outer space, the air in the passage gushs out like a strong wind and suddenly gushs out.

The two reached out and grabbed the edge of the door, pushed hard, and flew forward.

Eve reported the location of the meteorite in the second co-pilot seat of the Shenzhou: "The meteorite is ahead of you, three kilometers away."

Fang Yuan flew fast and flew over first. Then the instrument on his back performed a comprehensive scan of the meteorite.

This meteorite is very large, with a diameter of five meters, which is equivalent to two floors.

After a while, Zhao Anya arrived and used "star energy spectrum analysis" to inspect the meteorite.

All inspections were completed, and after preliminary analysis of the data, the ground command center was answered.

"The meteorite is normal and can be brought back."
