"The latest news from our station is that the asteroid mined from the asteroid belt by Xinghai Technology and known as the Sword of Damocles by people around the world has been successfully captured by the earth's gravity and is currently orbiting the earth, becoming an asteroid like the moon.
An Earth satellite that orbits the Earth."
"It is reported that Tang Peng, the head of Xinghai Aerospace Technology Group, said that they will divide the asteroid as soon as possible and smelt the asteroid directly in space, and will not let the asteroid float in outer space for a long time.
middle."
"Friends, viewers, the asteroids mined back by Xinghai Technology have become the real Sword of Damocles, always hanging on the heads of billions of people on our planet."
"Although such a huge asteroid has not caused harm to the earth for the time being, it is still an unstable factor that threatens all mankind. Its mass is simply too great. Scientists say that Xinghai Technology currently does not have the ability to create an asteroid large enough to
A spacecraft to transport such a massive asteroid back to Earth.”
"We strongly call on Xinghai Technology to destroy this asteroid to ensure the safety of all mankind."
"This is a global broadcast. Continue to pay attention to the Sword of Damocles asteroid. The asteroid is currently in orbit in outer space of the earth and has become a sword of destruction that truly hangs over the heads of all mankind. It may strike at any time and anywhere.
It has caused a devastating blow to us humans on Earth."
"Experts say that humankind's current technology is still capable of safely transporting such a massive asteroid back to Earth. Even the most powerful anti-gravity spacecraft cannot carry such a massive asteroid. Xinghai Technology will not be able to handle this small asteroid."
Planet, the best result is still to destroy it directly instead of putting all mankind in danger for your own benefit."
The asteroid was successfully mined back into Earth's outer space, but the whole world is still paying close attention to it. At the same time, people all over the world are watching, watching how Xinghai Technology will deal with this 200 million asteroid.
tons of asteroids.
Of course, various reports are still full of responsibility for Xinghai Technology and worries about this asteroid, fearing that it will come to the earth at any time and cause a devastating blow to mankind around the world.
Fortunately, Xinghai Technology did not keep everyone waiting for long.
After the asteroid was successfully captured by the Earth's gravity, the smelting work of the asteroid began immediately.
It is indeed unsafe for such a massive asteroid to be suspended in the outer space of the Earth. It is safest to divide it as soon as possible and complete the smelting.
The base of Xinghai Aerospace Technology Group is here.
"We, Xinghai Technology, are a responsible company. We also know that everyone is worried about this asteroid, so we will immediately divide and smelt it, directly in space."
"In order to prove that all this is safe, we will also broadcast the entire process directly, inviting people all over the world to witness this great moment. From now on, we humans will smelt asteroids in space and obtain nearly endless resources.
"
Tang Peng smiled and announced the news to everyone.
After the words fell, the picture on the huge monitor screen at the scene also switched to space.
I saw the Star Catcher spacecraft dragging the asteroid slowly changing its orbit. After several orbit changes, the orbit of the asteroid was already parallel to the orbit of the space solar power station built in space by Xinghai Technology in the early stage.
Moreover, the speeds of both sides are slowly approaching the same level, and have recently reached a relatively stationary state.
At the same time, several spacecrafts quickly flew close to the asteroid, and long mechanical arms stretched out from one of the spacecrafts.
These robotic arms are very flexible in space and get busy quickly.
Some robotic arms emit lasers to start cutting the asteroid, while others are fixing the parts to be cut.
Along with the cutting of the powerful laser, the cutting speed is very fast. The powerful laser is like the sharpest blade, and it can easily cut off a piece from the asteroid.
The cut piece was quickly dragged by the spacecraft to the space solar power station. When it came to a void, the mechanical arm slowly controlled the cut piece to float in space.
At the same time, at the space solar power station, the solar panels began to rotate. The panels flipped over, revealing another dark side. The dark side quickly opened up, revealing a mirror.
The computer automatically began to calculate the distance, angle, etc. between the two parties. Coupled with the angle of the sun, the mirrors began to quickly adjust their angles.
After a while, rays of sunlight were reflected, and as more and more beams gathered, the cut-off asteroid block became extremely bright and dazzling in the blink of an eye.
"Oh, God~"
"It's exactly like what you see in science fiction movies. It's incredible."
"They actually use sunlight to smelt asteroids in space!"
“It’s incredible, it’s unbelievable!”
Thousands of news reporters at the scene could not help but open their mouths wide when they saw such a scene, and they all expressed wonder.
Xinghai Technology's space technology has developed to such a terrifying level that it can actually do it all easily in space. Such powerful technology is much more powerful than the space technology strength of individual countries.
As a large amount of sunlight continues to gather, the asteroid block becomes brighter, and the temperature rises rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the temperature has exceeded a thousand degrees, and is still rising rapidly.
Under the terrible high temperature, the surface of the asteroid block began to melt rapidly, and the melted liquid slowly took on a spherical structure.
The originally irregular asteroid block gradually turned into a spherical liquid with the melting of high temperature. The outside was molten iron, and the inside was also melting at a terrifying speed.
In just a few minutes, the asteroid block completely melted and turned into a dazzling white liquid ball standing quietly in the sky.
At this time, rays of sunlight quickly moved away from it and transferred to another newly cut asteroid block.
At the same time, a robotic arm came near this liquid ball. The temperature in outer space is very low. The temperature in space is more than minus 200 degrees. At such a low temperature, the temperature of objects decreases very slowly.
This is mainly because the heat transfer mainly includes thermal convection, heat transfer and thermal radiation. Because it is a vacuum environment, only thermal radiation can be achieved in space.
If you rely on natural methods to cool it down, it will take a relatively long time.
Of course, the scientists would not waste time letting it cool down slowly. The robotic arm quickly became busy, the powerful refrigeration system started, and the temperature of the liquid iron quickly dropped.
In the blink of an eye, it changed from a dazzling white state to red, dark red, and finally slowly dimmed, gradually turning into a big iron ball.
After it turned into a big iron ball, the mechanical arm quickly pulled it to the cabin of a spaceship nearby, and the smelting work of a small piece was completed.
Next, you need to use special forging equipment to forge the iron block in space, shape it into the shape you need, and then further process it to make the parts needed to build a spacecraft.
All this was going on in an orderly manner, each spacecraft looked very busy, and each mechanical arm was extremely busy in space.
The thousand-meter-long asteroid was continuously split into small pieces, and then quickly smelted into standard iron blocks and transported to the Xinghai Technology Space Factory in space. They will be
Here they become parts for manufacturing spacecrafts one by one.
Everyone looked at the picture displayed on the monitor and opened their mouths wide.
One of such sci-fi-like scenes actually unfolded before everyone's eyes.
At first, everyone felt that Xinghai Technology had no way to deal with this 200-million-ton asteroid, and in the end it could only destroy it.
But now, looking at this asteroid, with the busy work of robotic arms and spacecrafts, a large part of it has been cut off, with a length of more than 300 meters having been cut off.
Then look at the solar power stations in space.
At first, I just thought it was a solar power station, but now, everyone finally knows that it is not only used to generate electricity, but can also be used to smelt asteroids.
And the speed of smelting asteroids is so fast.
You must know that smelting steel on earth is not an easy task. The ore needs to be crushed, screened, etc., and then a large amount of fuel is needed to heat the steel when smelting it. Therefore, steel plants are often polluting and energy-consuming.
enterprise.
But look at Xinghai Technology's smelting of asteroids in space. It directly uses sunlight to smelt asteroids. Mirrors reflect the sunlight and gather countless rays of sunlight together. It can obtain ultra-high temperatures in a very short period of time.
Temperature is used to smelt asteroids.
It is very fast. The key is that it does not consume any energy because it uses sunlight and the labor consumption is very low. There is no need for huge steel workers to work hard to smelt steel. It only requires someone to use a virtual machine to control the spacecraft.
Just do it with a robotic arm.
Such advanced and sci-fi smelting technology has made everyone on the earth dumbfounded. It probably won't take long for an asteroid weighing 200 million tons to be smelted. The speed is too fast.
