After spending a month reorganizing the group's various affairs.
Ye Chen, alone with Li Muyue, quietly arrived in the Kuiper Belt.
This area is similar to the asteroid belt, but more than 20 times wider.
Astronomers on Earth predict that there may be as many as 100,000 objects in the Kuiper Belt with diameters exceeding 100 kilometers, and the largest may even exceed 2,000 kilometers.
The most famous celestial bodies among them include Pluto, Haumea, and Makemake.
Ye Chen piloted the spaceship, flying slowly through the Kuiper Belt.
The spaceship's hull gleamed with silver light, creating a stark contrast with the endless darkness around it.
Outside the window, asteroids occasionally streak across the sky. They come in all shapes and sizes: some are spherical, some are dumbbells, and some are potatoes.
Some larger asteroids have surfaces covered with craters and mountains, making them quite spectacular.
The spacecraft's probes have explored an area of tens of millions of kilometers around it and displayed the results on an elliptical three-dimensional map at the spacecraft's control center.
The 3D image is densely covered with red dots, each representing a celestial body.
At this point, the number of celestial bodies displayed on the map had reached 1,580, and this number continued to increase as the spacecraft flew towards a more central location.
Ye Chen turned his gaze from the window to the three-dimensional image in front of him and exclaimed in admiration, "Such a dense and abundant celestial region contains countless resources, which are simply inexhaustible!"
Standing beside him, Li Muyue asked in a low voice, "Where are we planning to build our base?"
Most of the scenery in the universe is unchanging, and only when passing by certain special planets do we see relatively unique views.
After the initial excitement, Li Muyue lost interest in the unchanging, dull, and boring scene before her.
Ye Chen turned to look at her and said softly, "I'm looking for a suitable celestial body as the location for our base. If you're bored, you can kill time in the virtual world."
Since he proposed the concept of a virtual society in Kyoto, engineers under the Mousse Group, with the assistance of Zhizi, have been fully implementing it in China.
Now, half of the people in China have logged in, and many have even shifted the focus of their lives and work to the virtual world!
Virtual communities have become a favorite among people working in space, allowing them to connect and communicate with family and friends far from Earth.
Hearing Ye Chen's suggestion, Li Muyue shook her head, took his arm, and said, "I'll stay here with you, otherwise you'll be even more bored by yourself."
Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart, pulled her into his arms, and smiled, "In that case, let's do something fun."
Li Muyue blushed and said shyly, "You're doing this too often. I've only just recovered."
Ye Chen was taken aback, then realized what he meant and said jokingly, "What are you thinking? I was talking about something else. Of course, if you want, I'm always ready to oblige."
Li Muyue's pretty face instantly flushed red, and she gritted her teeth, saying angrily, "It's all your fault for being so vague. If what you say doesn't satisfy me, see if I'll let you off the hook!"
Ye Chen laughed heartily and said with a hint of pride, "I guarantee my wife will be satisfied. Look out the window."
As he spoke, he operated the control panel, and a bright laser beam shot out from the spacecraft, heading straight for a small celestial body about 3 kilometers away, 20 kilometers away.
Li Muyue gave a soft hum, adjusted herself to a comfortable position against Ye Chen's chest, and looked out the window.
A dazzling laser beam shone on the small celestial body, which was about 3 kilometers in diameter, and the powerful energy instantly evaporated half of the celestial body.
The high temperature caused the dry ice on the surface of the small celestial body to quickly turn into gas, forming a dense white fog that enveloped the spacecraft.
Several beams of light shot out from the spaceship and shone on the white mist, making it appear like a huge white curtain.
Above this white mist, light and shadow began to shift and dance, as if they were alive.
At first, the light and shadow were very blurry, and only some hazy outlines could be seen.
But as the light changed, they gradually became clearer.
To Li Muyue's surprise, these lights and shadows presented a spectacular picture of the Milky Way.
In the interplay of light and shadow, the stars shimmer with dazzling brilliance, the nebulae dance like splendid silk, and the spiral arms of the Milky Way meander like a giant serpent.
Every detail is so lifelike, it's as if you're at the center of the universe, witnessing this magnificent sight firsthand.
Li Muyue stared wide-eyed at the light and shadows outside the window, her heart filled with shock.
She had never seen such a beautiful and mysterious sight, as if the entire Milky Way was unfolding before her eyes, within reach.
Ye Chen gently embraced her and chuckled softly, "Are you satisfied, wife?"
"Okay, you pass!"
Li Muyue gave a soft "hmm" and admired the magnificent and dreamlike scenery outside without blinking.
As they traveled, Ye Chen would occasionally destroy a small celestial body to create different scenes and cheer Li Muyue up.
This method of coaxing people isn't particularly sophisticated, but it all depends on who does it.
For someone of Ye Chen's status, this is called romantic. If it were an ordinary person, they would inevitably receive a superficial evaluation.
Finally, after penetrating nearly a million kilometers into the Kuiper Belt, a suitable celestial body appeared within the range of the spacecraft's probe.
This is a celestial body with a diameter of about 800 kilometers. Detection shows that the main component inside is iron. In other words, it is a huge block of iron.
