The Hope left Sun as fast as possible after Chase made the Tombstone of Human.
Days later, another planet appeared in the human view, as blue as the sea.
It was just Neptune, one of the eight planets in the Solar System.
Chase and scientists detected the Triton as they approached.
Triton used to be a Kuiper-belt object but was captured by the gravitation of Neptune.
Its track was antidromic, so it was slowly approaching to Nepture, and one day, it would be crashed if the distance between the two reached to the Roche’s limit.
But the impact wouldn’t influence other planets due to the long distance.
Roche’s limit was the distance when the gravitation was the same as the tidal force.
If the distance lowered under the limit, one planet would break up and become another’s ring.
The Triton’s doom was destined, so Chase couldn’t save it.
The encounter ended in just a flash, and The Hope left Neptune as fast as possible.
Soon, They approached Pluto, but they didn’t stay and left quickly, as well.
Time went fast, and Chase just observed the space in Solar System without doing any other work.
The close observation is helpful for the human to know more about the space.
Soon, they got to Kuiper Belt, where most comets came in Solar System.
The famous Halley’s Comet was just from here, but Chase was not lucky enough to see it.
The Sun was a light point from the perspective there.
Ordinary people even couldn’t recognize it, and they didn’t know if they left the Solar System now.
People just knew they should spend ten silent years to get to Proxima Centauri B, and they didn’t know what they should do in the boring ten years.
The Sun was the dominator in Solar System, and it even could attract the planets much far away from it to revolve around it.
But the light and heat from the Sun disappeared here, so Chase couldn’t find any planets.
Maybe because of no reference substance, Chase even felt the ship static.
They felt the ship hanging in space and didn’t move a little, but actually, the ship was speeding.
The solar wind was getting weaker, which meant the influence of the Sun was disappearing.
“Finally, we’re about to leave the Solar System!” Dasin said.
“Yeah. We’re leaving our home.” Chase sighed.
“The earth is our home before, and now the Solar System is our home.”
“We’re losing the protection from our home!”
“What will we become in the unknown space? Where and when can we settle down?”
Reba murmured, and the tears flew down from her eyes.
She felt lost now.
“Boom or doom! We have no other choice!” Dasin shouted.
“We have had no other choice since we left earth. We have to find a way in space and save ourselves.” Chase drank the coffee and said calmly.
Reba was stunned. She looked at Chase and then turned to look at Dasin. “So, you also don’t know much about Proxima Centauri, right? You’re just providing human the last hope, and even your target is not that planet, right?”
