Chapter 80 Start Observation
"That is, I need a weapon, or something, to blow the asteroid away or deviate from orbit before it flies to Mars." Du Xingyu's thinking gradually became clear.
"It is too difficult to blow up, and blow up will produce a large number of meteorites, which is no different from the meteorite rain encountered on Mars. It is more reliable to make the asteroid deviate from orbit - then, I need to have a powerful space weapon system in Mars or the outer space near Mars, including outer space on Earth, and also have sufficient defense systems to withstand a large number of meteorites."
"The difficulty seems to be a bit high." Du Xingyu touched his chin. To complete these, he needed to develop technology and build countless space machinery!
"The power of a country cannot be accomplished. It must work together to complete it..."
Du Xingyu discovered that he had encountered a super problem. It is more difficult to let all mankind work together to resist disasters than to let him build a spaceship himself to leave the solar system!
Du Xingyu first asked about the situation of the Space Administration, and the answer he got was not ideal.
"Do you want to build a space defense system? Or a space nuclear military base?" Hearing Du Xingyu's thoughts, Cao Liang shook his head repeatedly and said, "Don't think about it in the short term."
"We have signed the Outer Space Agreement, and the whole world does not allow nuclear weapons testing in outer space. In addition, the space ports, space fleets and the like you mentioned are not something I don't want to do, and these are not something that can be done in a year or two."
"At least it will take ten years to plan!"
"In the past few years, we have been building the lunar scientific research base and the Mars scientific research base with limited funds and insufficient budget..."
Cao Liang couldn't answer Du Xingyu expected, and it was probably not just him. Most people thought so. Just slowly develop space based on current technology, so there is no need to be so anxious.
Du Xingyu knew that without tangible evidence, he would not be able to convince the country to spend hundreds of billions, or even trillions, and use the whole country's efforts to build a space defense system.
Relying on capital is even less reliable. Capital seeks profits, and they will not do things that are not pleasing to you.
"I need an opportunity, an evidence that can convince the whole world of my evidence!" Du Xingyu knew that the key lies in space observation. He must find a way to observe the asteroid that may destroy the earth in advance!
So, Du Xingyu resigned from the Mars scientific research team and applied to go to the National Observatory for exchange visits.
Of course, the senior management of the Space Administration did not understand Du Xingyu's request, but Du Xingyu stated that this time he was just to explore some of his personal questions and answers in scientific research, and he was temporarily staying at the National Observatory for a while.
The above directly approved this application.
The National Observatory, Licheng Astronomical Observatory. It has the largest astronomical telescope in Asia, and Du Xingyu came here alone.
"Xiao Du, I didn't expect you to be here!" Wang Qing, an astrophysicist who is a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who is based here, said in surprise, "Now your space agency is a hot cake, and there are also a Mars mission. How many people are trying to get into the project? Why do you give up the Mars project and come to our remote little astronomical station?"
"Academician Wang, I just want to figure out my astronomical doubts." Du Xingyu explained, "I hope I can get help from everyone."
"Okay, we will cooperate with you here!" Wang Qing agreed immediately.
Du Xingyu's requirements are not high. He just wanted to use the astronomical telescope here to observe whether other celestial bodies appeared near its previous orbit.
If the technology simulator predicts accurately and Neptune has changed the flight orbits of some Kuiper Belt celestial bodies and allowed asteroids and meteorites to fly to the earth, then observing from the orbit direction of Neptune before may gain something.
Du Xingyu observed for several nights in a row and found nothing.
Wang Qing said: "Our astronomical telescope was manufactured by the British TTL company and costs more than 30 million yuan. It can be said that it is one of the best in Asia. But if you want to observe the celestial bodies in the Kuiper belt, you are powerless!"
"Those small celestial bodies do not emit light or heat, have no radiation, and are too small to observe with this telescope, which is almost impossible."
"Last month we asked the Space Administration to bring a space telescope into the Tiangong Space Station. You can contact them and ask them to help with observation."
The space telescope is a space telescope, and the famous Hubble telescope is a space telescope, which is an optical telescope. Radio telescopes such as the "Sky Eye" are mainly used to observe the radio waves of celestial bodies.
"That's great!" Du Xingyu immediately contacted the personnel of the Tiangong Space Station and asked them to use a space telescope to observe the situation near Neptune's orbit in recent years.
Not only that, Du Xingyu also kept contacting Professor Beth of Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii to inquire about their observations.
What made Du Xingyu helpless is that it seems that they did not find any abnormalities at the moment.
While Du Xingyu was obsessed with obsessing with astronomy, several major events happened outside.
Because Du Xingyu's team discovered traces of life on Mars, countries began to explore Mars again. Some companies announced that they would establish Mars immigration plans and other things.
The United States' Mars ship will arrive on Mars in two months; Russia, the European Space Agency, India, and island countries are all studying Mars spacecraft...
In addition, Xingyao Space Technology Company successfully developed a medium-sized aerospace plane, which can carry a mass of more than 100 tons at a time to travel to space.
Chengfeng Space Service Company has sent passengers to space many times. They have received a lot of financing and ordered new space planes and rockets at Xingyao, which will carry out space transportation services.
China's Tiangong Space Station has added five more space modules, including a space plant cultivation room and a space industrial manufacturing room.
More than 30 astronauts have been placed in the base of Guanghan Palace on the Moon. China Space Administration plans to launch the Mars spacecraft again within one year and send the second group of team members to the Zhurong Palace Base on Mars...
Another one is related to Du Xingyu himself, that is, the Nobel Prize Selection Committee announced the Nobel Prize winner of this year.
Among them, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics was Du Xingyu. They invited Du Xingyu to attend the award ceremony two months later, on December 10, the anniversary of the death of Nobel.
This news spread to China, and China was in full bloom again!
Nobel physicist has not won this award for many years! Du Xingyu won the Nobel physicist at the age of 24, which is definitely the pride of the entire Chinese scientific community!
The media are reporting: "The Nobel Prize list is announced, and Chinese scientist Du Xingyu won the Nobel Prize in Physics!"
Du Xingyu's parents, relatives, and friends called to celebrate, and his leaders also sent messages to congratulate and inquire. Du Xingyu's fans also left messages or sent private messages to him to congratulate him on his Nobel physicist.
However, what surprised the outside world was that Du Xingyu seemed to be isolated from the world. Except for necessary contacts, he refused all interviews and activities!
He stayed at the astronomical station and observed astronomy every day. Even the leaders of the Space Administration and the Academy of Engineering asked him to attend the event, but he refused.
