Chapter three hundred and sixty first helpless

Space Development Committee, internal holographic conference room.

Wang Tu, Zhao Hongxing, Li Zhongting, Zeng Baojiang, Wang Guanghai, Academician Ma and more than a dozen people were all in the holographic conference room with solemn expressions at this moment.

"The superiors have asked us to prevent asteroids from hitting the Blue Star as much as possible." Zhao Hongxing said straight to the point.

"Mr. Huang means the same thing. Let's keep the story short." After Wang Tu finished speaking, he projected the information about the asteroid into the middle of the conference room.

"What a sudden disaster!" Li Zhongting said with a bitter smile.

Wang Tu pointed to the holographic projection of Blue Star and said: "This asteroid collided with another asteroid numbered x13674 on an orbit 6.42 million kilometers away from Blue Star, causing its orbit to deviate."

"The current distance of this asteroid from Blue Star is 5.63 million kilometers. It is very fast. It can advance about 1.35 million kilometers towards Blue Star in one day. We don't have much time left." Academician Ma then said.

Everyone knows that according to the speed of the asteroid, there is only about 100 hours left before it hits the blue star.

"If Xiongfeng 9 or Dongfeng 51 is launched, carrying large mushroom eggs, can asteroid W be destroyed outside the atmosphere?" Zhao Hongxing looked at Wang Guanghai, Li Zhongting and others and asked.

"First, the asteroid is too fast; second, the maximum range of Xiongfeng 9 or Dongfeng 51 is 10,000 kilometers. Even if the range can be increased in outer space, it will only reach about 30,000 kilometers in the sky; third, the mushroom egg's

The power is very small in outer space, and at most it can only shift the orbit of the asteroid." Wang Guanghai shook his head and explained.

As for what we often see in disaster movies, an asteroid is going to hit a blue star, and then humans launch a spaceship and bring mushrooms up to blow up the asteroid. After all the hardships, the asteroid is finally blown into pieces.

This situation is not only very difficult to operate in reality, but also only applies when there is time to prepare.

It is now less than 100 hours before the asteroid hits Blue Star. Except for the mass projectors of Dongtang and Galaxy Consortium, which can launch spacecrafts immediately, the space agencies of other countries do not even have enough time to prepare launch vehicles, let alone prepare mushrooms.

Egg.

And blowing up an asteroid is definitely not a wise move, because in order to be sure, you need to prepare at least three times as many mushrooms. To deviate such a large asteroid from its orbit or destroy it, you need a lot of mushrooms.

Li Zhongting gave a preliminary estimate: to deflect the orbit, at least 3 to 5 mushroom eggs with an equivalent of 1 million tons are needed; to completely destroy it, 3 to 5 mushrooms with an equivalent of 10 million tons may be needed.

"And the speed of this asteroid is too fast. If we can't destroy it or deviate its orbit 1 million kilometers away, once it gets within 1 million kilometers, it will be destroyed. The debris it will eject will not matter to the blue sky.

A spacecraft in star orbit will definitely have catastrophic consequences." Wang Guanghai continued to explain.

"This is a very contradictory issue. Our launch vehicle has a limited range. If the interception fails within 1 million kilometers, then..." Li Zhongting could no longer continue.

Wang Tu rubbed his slightly swollen temples and said: "According to the simulation results of the Supercomputing Center, the asteroid will hit Blue Star at 23-24 hours on December 11, 2019, and the impact area is between the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean.

"

After finishing speaking, Wang Tu played a holographic simulation image. If an asteroid hits the Mediterranean area, the entire Mediterranean coastal area will be wiped out. Not only will there be a super earthquake with a magnitude of more than 10, but there will also be a tsunami and plate rupture.

Volcanic eruptions may even cause Blue Star to enter a geologically active period.

Even in the very distant Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Pacific region, major earthquakes of magnitude 7 to 9 will occur. The most terrible thing is that the dust produced at the moment of impact will cause a small half of the Blue Star to enter an effect similar to nuclear winter.

If we accidentally trigger the eruption of a super volcano such as Yellowstone Volcano, the consequences will be that all mankind will receive lunch boxes together.

Everyone was whispering and discussing.

Suddenly Assistant Wang Tu whispered in his ear: "Bureau Wang, Johnson from the Outer Space Committee, Maxwell from NASA, Layton from the Western Space Agency, Chekov from the Mao Xiong Space Agency, Sinbad from the Tianzhu Space Agency

, from the Kingdom of the Sun…requesting a video call.”

"Let them find a holographic computer, temporarily release the authority of the holographic conference room, and let them hold meetings here." Wang Tu ordered with a headache.

"OK."



NASA, Houston Space Center.

Maxwell looked at the satellite surveillance screen helplessly. Looking at the asteroid in front of him, he felt a little desperate.

Although their supercomputer was much inferior to that of Dongtang, they still simulated and calculated a rough result. It was precisely because of this result that the satellite made Maxwell and others' hands and feet feel cold.

Because the result of their simulation calculations is that the impact area of ​​the asteroid is the North Atlantic. Such a terrible asteroid impact in the North Atlantic can instantly cause devastating consequences to the entire North Atlantic coastal area.

His assistant hurried over.

Maxwell couldn't wait to ask first: "What did the Space Development Committee say?"

His assistant took a breath and quickly replied: "He, he, they said they asked us to find two holographic computers and enter this URL. They want to hold a holographic projection conference."

"Quickly find two holographic computers and come over." Maxwell ordered loudly.

After a while, they borrowed three Sydney holographic computers from a nearby company.

"Dr. Archimedes, the two of us are attending this meeting." Maxwell no longer cared about boiling lard and just acted on his own initiative.

"Okay." Dr. Archimedes nodded.

They all knew that it was time to race against time, and they could not care about other things. With the help of several staff members, the two of them hurriedly entered the holographic conference room of the Space Development Committee.

The two of them had just entered the holographic conference room, and the two representatives from Xizhou, Layton and Rhine, were already inside.

In less than ten minutes, representatives from powerful space agencies around the world were inside, and six representatives from the five gangsters also appeared in the conference room.

"Let's make a long story short. What solutions do you have for this asteroid now? Or ideas?" Wang Tu said to everyone straightforwardly.

Everyone looked at each other. If they had their way, they wouldn't have the meeting here.

"How about frying it with mushrooms?" Mao Xiong's official representative suggested.

"Blowed up? How? This asteroid is now millions of kilometers away from us and its speed is so fast. We can only continue to track it through the Hubble Telescope and monitoring satellites, but the delay is very large. It takes several minutes to communicate back and forth.

Delay." Maxwell retorted immediately.

"What else should we do? The distance is relatively far now. We can wait until the asteroid is closer before taking action." The official representative of Mao Xiong retorted angrily.

"You have all conducted some mushroom experiments before, and you should know that the power of mushroom eggs in outer space is very small, and once the first wave of mushroom eggs fails and fails to successfully intercept the asteroid, we will really lose our last chance." Wang Tuchen

Said loudly.

"Yes, the lack of power of mushroom eggs in outer space is a problem. Another problem is that mushroom eggs will produce electromagnetic pulses during the explosion. This is very likely to cause our satellites to malfunction. Once the interception fails and the satellites malfunction again, we will only

I can watch the asteroid hit the blue star right before my eyes." Maxwell agreed.

"This won't work, that won't work, why are you waiting here to die?" The official representative of Mao Xiong said with a gloomy face, then folded his hands on his chest with a dark face and said nothing.

There was a quarrel in the whole conference room, and everyone was racking their brains to find a way, but either there was not enough time, the technical conditions were not met, or the effect was not obvious.
