Chapter 562 Professor Zhang's thoughts
Because both Zhao Feng and the crew are very clear that with the current technological level of human civilization, it is very difficult to directly hit celestial bodies with a maximum diameter of less than ten meters and a minimum diameter of less than five meters at this distance, even if the target celestial bodies have a fixed orbit.
It is also true that in order to increase the probability of concentration, they fired hundreds of shells in succession.
At the same time, they also firmly believe that these hundreds of shells will definitely have shells with concentrated targets.
After all, according to the data, at this distance, even objects with a diameter of less than five meters will hit about five percent. Of course, if it is a moving track target, the hit rate will only drop to a few tens of thousands of chance.
As the fighter jets opened fire, the people on the ground, including Wang Bin from Tiangong Technology, all looked at the data on the command center's big screen.
As time continued, it was finally time for the orbital cannon shells to hit the asteroids. Wang Bin and the others stared at the data intently. At this moment, waves of dust finally rose from the two asteroids, and among them, the smaller asteroid was directly broken and shattered into slag under the attack of the orbital cannon shells.
Another asteroid, under the attack of the orbital cannon, only bursts of dust and splashed out some debris, the asteroid was intact, which shocked Wang Bin and others. You must know that this is the attack of orbital cannon shells! It is not an ordinary runway!
Even if the attack of the fighter's airborne rail gun is not comparable to that of ordinary small-caliber artillery shells. Even if it is necessary to say the power, its power will definitely exceed the power of ordinary artillery 500 mm.
However, under such a powerful attack, this asteroid was completely unscathed and not broken, and was even hit by more than one shell.
This made Wang Bin and others a little curious, especially Professor Zhang from the command center, who was very interested in this asteroid.
"Mr. Wang! According to the data of this attack, at least five shells of our fighter jets hit the asteroid, but they still did not break the asteroid. You should know that before, even if the asteroid was several times larger than this, the shells fired by the fighter jets only hit a few shots and then broke them.
But this one! It's all right after hitting so many times.
So I think this asteroid is definitely not an ordinary asteroid. According to my experience, even asteroid with very high iron content, even a pure iron asteroid will definitely not withstand such an attack.
It can be foreseeable that this asteroid is definitely not an ordinary asteroid. It must have super hard metals on it, and it may even contain substances without me on our earth.
So I hope that for this asteroid, we no longer have to smash it, but instead find a way to capture this asteroid and analyze the material content. If there is really material unknown to us humans, then for our human civilization, it can definitely promote the technological development of our human civilization very well." Professor Zhang said.
"Yes, then I will ask the fighter to stop attacking this asteroid. However, the size of this asteroid seems to be small, but it is nearly ten meters in diameter and its mass is as high as hundreds of thousands of tons. With such a large weight, it is still very difficult for our human civilization to capture it. It is almost impossible. I wonder what you can do?" After hearing Professor Zhang's words, Mr. Qin nodded and asked.
After hearing Mr. Qin's words, no one in the audience spoke. It was obvious that everyone knew that with the current technology of human civilization, it was really impossible to capture the ability of such a mass-heavy asteroid.
About ten minutes later, a faint voice came from a corner of the command center: "I have a solution that is not a solution, I don't know if it is feasible."
Hearing this voice, Wang Bin and others looked at the source of the sound. Wang Bin found that it was the one who spoke from their Tiangong Technology researcher, Jia Jie.
So Wang Bin said: "Jia Jie! Please boldly express your ideas and discuss whether the following is feasible!"
"It's true. Although we can't capture this asteroid and get it to Earth, it doesn't mean we can't capture this asteroid.
If we just bring this asteroid to the orbit of the Earth-Moon system, we can still do it with our ability, but we can't get it on the earth.
So we don’t have to bring this asteroid to the earth for research. After all, no one of us can determine whether there are any substances on this asteroid that are harmful to the earth and to humans.
So we can completely bring this asteroid to the near orbit of the Earth-Moon System and study this asteroid. Even if it cannot be studied in space, we can directly let this asteroid hit the moon, and then we dig out the asteroid and then study it on the moon!
In this way, we don’t have to worry about the impact this asteroid will have on the earth’s ecology!”
After hearing Jia Jie's words, the experts and professionals present also fell into deep thought. Finally, Professor Dai raised his head and said, "I think what Jia Jie said is still feasible. I wonder what you think?"
"I think it's feasible, too!" another expert said.
Then everyone nodded and agreed with Jia Jie's words.
"Okay! Since everyone has agreed with Jia Jie's suggestion, then follow Jia Jie's idea. However, the specific plan should be to capture the asteroid near the Earth-Moon orbit or the Earth-Moon system or to capture the asteroid on the moon. Everyone needs to discuss it carefully." Wang Bin said.
Then, everyone looked at the big screen again. Although the command center had ordered Zhao Feng and others to give up attacking the asteroid at this time, they did not order Zhao Feng and others to give up attacking other fragments, but instead ordered them to continue attacking other large fragments of the asteroid.
At this time, the closest fighter jets were less than 50,000 kilometers away from other asteroid fragments, and the farthest one was less than 70,000 kilometers.
Therefore, after receiving the command center, Zhao Feng and others directly launched an attack on other fragments of the asteroid, and this attack was no longer ten or ten shells, but dozens of shells directly occurred at each larger fragment.
Subsequently, Zhao Feng also activated the ordinary airborne cannons on the fighter plane, and a large number of ordinary shells with a caliber of 35 mm were generated to these asteroid fragments.
