Chapter 223 Simulated Impact: Ring of Mars

A few hours later.

【Notice!】

[There are still 200 kilometers away from the target!]

【Deceleration program starts!】

The prompt information on the holographic image cheered Bart up.

200 kilometers is an extremely short distance for the Hummingbird starship.

Amid the discomfort caused by deceleration, an asteroid with a bumpy surface and a somewhat metallic sheen appeared in front of Bart's eyes.

It is only half the size of the Spirit Star, and the metallic luster on its surface is far inferior to that of the Spirit Star.

"1. Start the docking program."

Bart straightened up and stared intently at the "ferocious-looking" asteroid in front of him.

According to Professor Lu's request, he needs to land on this asteroid and detect its internal material composition.

Under the control of 1, the Hummingbird starship gradually reduced its speed and moved towards the asteroid.



Mars City No. 1, main conference room.

The moment the communication was connected, the true appearance of the asteroid suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Hummingbird starship slowly docked on it.

As the nanorobots were dispatched, rows of precise data appeared in front of Lu Yongchang.

"30% iron and nickel, and 50% rock..." Lu Yongchang put his hand on his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

After a few minutes, the data transfer is completed.

"Professor Lu?" Albert across the conference table looked at Lu Yongchang nervously, "Can Mars withstand the impact of this asteroid?"

Hearing this question, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, he looked at Albert with a strange look on his face: "Congressman Albert, I can guarantee that Mars will definitely be able to withstand the impact of this asteroid."

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang turned his head and winked at Ling's avatar.

In the holographic image on the conference table, an asteroid crashed directly into Mars.

"Of course, we will definitely not be able to withstand the impact of this asteroid." Lu Yongchang shrugged, "This is a simulation picture with zero calculation."

As the words fell, the picture showed a "close contact" between the asteroid and Mars.

The area near the huge crater is filled with hot magma.

That is the result of converting the kinetic energy carried by the asteroid into internal energy.

The environment on the surface of Mars has undergone earth-shaking changes, even calling it hell is no exaggeration!

At the moment of impact, countless rocks were accelerated to escape velocity and flew into space.

Time starts to speed up.

Under the influence of Mars' gravity, they formed a ring structure similar to the rings of Saturn.

When the dust settled, Mars became the only solid planet with rings in the solar system.

Looking at the simulation screen in front of him, Albert swallowed slightly.

"Yongchang, don't scare other council members." The voice of the council leader came, "Is there any solution?"

Lu Yongchang smiled relaxedly and stood up from his seat.

"There are currently two solutions."

"First, send a large number of Hummingbird-type mining starships to disintegrate them all before they arrive."

The members of the House of Representatives nodded.

This is quite a good solution.

Lu Yongchang changed his voice: "However, there is a problem with this plan."

"According to the mining speed of the Hummingbird Starship, even if we send all the Hummingbird Starships in the asteroid belt, there will still not be enough time."

"Therefore, I prefer the second option."

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang stretched out his hand and drew it in the air.

A brand new holographic projection screen appeared in front of everyone.

In the picture, a ferocious-looking starship is parked quietly next to the Mars space port.

On the front section of the starship, five thick gun barrels are arranged in sequence.

"Is this... a Luan bird?" the Council Member frowned and asked softly.

Lu Yongchang's eyes lit up and he nodded towards the old man: "Congressman, you have good eyesight."

"You can recognize this Luanniao starship after it's changed to this!"

The old man smiled and shook his head: "So, what can this modified starship do?"

Facing the old man's question, Lu Yongchang had a mysterious smile on his lips.

"President, have you ever heard of electromagnetic guns?"

Before anyone could react, the holographic projection screen in front of them changed again.

Five straight, shiny gun barrels appeared in front of everyone!

"Let me introduce the latest research results of the Academy of Sciences during this period." Lu Yongchang waved his big hand in the air, "Electromagnetic coil gun!"



Half an hour later.

In the main conference room, all the congressmen widened their eyes and stared at the holographic image in front of them.

"Professor Lu, is this data reliable?!" Jing Pu asked with his eyes slightly red and his breathing rapid.

"Can the speed of a cannonball really reach 6,000 kilometers/second?!"

"There is also a mini-nuclear bomb inside?!"

"This, isn't the power of this cannon..." Jing Pu took a deep breath and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "Destroy the world?!"

Jingpu's eyes showed a look of relief and satisfaction.

As the former president of the Soviet Union, the moment he saw this rough barrel, he felt that his life had been sublimated!

The corners of Lu Yongchang's mouth twitched.

Congressman Jingpu's expression at this time was exactly the same as that of Yevgeny a few days ago.

"Member Jingpu, calm down." Lu Yongchang sighed softly, "This thing is not as powerful as you think."

"Maybe it's not bad for asteroids."

"But in an interstellar war, this thing cannot play a decisive role."

Jingpu's expression froze.

Before he could continue speaking, the voice of the chairman of the parliament came again: "Yongchang, how is the manufacturing progress of this Luanniao?"ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

After hearing this, Lu Yongchang's face became embarrassed.

"Ahem!"

He coughed hard twice.

"Manufacturing progress..."

"Currently, the Luanniao starship has entered the Mars spaceport."

"..."

There was silence in the main conference room.

Fang Xu, who was sitting next to Lu Yongchang, silently reached out and covered his eyes.

What is this?

"...You mean, the transformation hasn't started yet?" The chairman was silent for a while, and then confirmed again with a strange expression.

Lu Yongchang nodded silently.

The atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly weird.

"But it's not a big problem!" Lu Yongchang smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand and slid it in the air, switching the holographic projection screen.

"According to calculations, this asteroid will arrive near Mars in one month."

"We have enough time to modify the Luanniao starship."

"If nothing else happens, we will confront Mars at a distance of 100 million kilometers."

"Just in time, it can test the power of the electromagnetic coil gun for us."

"For the sake of safety, within this month, the Academy of Sciences will make every effort to manufacture the Hummingbird starship and recall all working Hummingbird starships."
