Die on Mars

Tang Yue's expression also changed.

The results were so obvious on the monitor that the computer was worried that these two guys wouldn't be able to understand it, so it thoughtfully marked it with bold red letters and arrows pointing to the point of contact between the orbit and Mars: WARNING IMPACT!

"You... you said you wouldn't hit me..." Tang Yue murmured, and the next second he jumped up, "You just said you wouldn't hit me!"

"This, this, this... this is impossible!" The old cat was also stunned. He pulled out the chair, sat down, and pulled the keyboard in front of him. He didn't even care about the half-recorded history of mathematics, and quickly answered Entering the system computers of Kunlun Station and United Space Station, a huge amount of data was flashed before its eyes.

"Impossible, impossible, how is this possible? How could this comet hit Mars... Do you know how small the probability is?" Old Cat shook his head while typing on the keyboard, his eyes reflecting the numbers on the screen. and image, "This probability is smaller than the probability of you walking out of the door and being hit on the head by a meteorite! Even if you live on Mars for another hundred thousand years, you will not encounter such a thing."

"The problem is that we are about to be hit on the head!" Tang Yue pulled up a chair and sat down next to the old cat, "It's not just meteorites!"

"Don't panic, don't panic, let me take a closer look to see what kind of monster star this is." Old Cat frowned and concentrated, "It stands to reason that the terrestrial planets in the solar system are rarely harassed by these foreign objects, because There are giant planets outside that serve as portals to block it... Jupiter is the second largest source of gravity after the sun. When it revolves, it will pull things around it with it. If something wants to hit it, it should hit it first. "

The old cat began to carefully interpret the various data and calculation processes of the computer. The tracking observations of the survey telescope gave the data, and the workstation made predictions about the comet's orbit based on the data. At this moment, the old cat was working backwards on the entire calculation process. It wanted to Confirm that the computer's results are correct.

"Calm down, calm down... It may be that the computer has made an error. The interaction between the celestial bodies in the solar system is very complex. This is a chaotic system, similar to the famous three-body motion in astronomy. It is impossible for a computer to make accurate predictions. It can only approximate the real result as much as possible." Lao Mao explained, "This is like the earth disappearing. It is impossible for you to perfectly predict its impact on other planets..."

Tang Yue was very close. Although he couldn't understand the numerous numbers on the computer screen, he still tried hard to read the images and equations. After all, Tang Yue had a studious heart.

"You mean it's possible that the computer is making random noises?"

"Maybe it's the computer that's blathering. After all, this crappy computer likes to scare people when there's nothing wrong." The old cat nodded slowly, staring intently, "So I'm checking... to see if there are any errors in its calculations and if there's anything missing. Conditions, it is easy to make mistakes when predicting chaotic systems. Previous weather forecasts were inaccurate because observation methods and computing power could not keep up."

Tang Yue didn't dare to disturb it anymore. He sat quietly on the edge and browsed the data together. He used to hate the computer convulsions the most, but now he hopes the computer convulsions the most.

"Should Jupiter's gravity be considered here? This distance has not yet left Jupiter's gravitational circle. It's strange...how does the angular momentum change..."

"The mass of the comet nucleus evaporates very quickly, and carbon dioxide is faster than water. The attenuation ratio here should be about three percent."

"Light pressure is not taken into consideration. It is too small and basically has no impact."

"Is this a parabola? No, this is a catenary."

The old cat babbled, its brown eyes widening.

No matter what it said, Tang Yue nodded.

As time went by, Lao Mao finished reading the calculation process of the workstation bit by bit, his brows furrowed more and more tightly, and his face became more and more solemn.

For the first time since the earth disappeared, Tang Yue could see the words "face as heavy as water" on this cat's face.

The old cat pulled the progress bar to the bottom, took a slow breath, and then stretched out his paw to close the calculation interface.

"How is it?" Tang Yue asked, "Is the computer cramping?"

If the computer wasn't cramping, he should be.

The old cat shook his head, "No loopholes or errors were found. Its prediction is completely reasonable based on the current situation... Comet Tomcat-Tang-Mai 1 will indeed hit Mars. This is the first time on Mars in about three million years." This is the first time it has been hit by such a massive celestial body. Damn it, this is really an evil star. Fortunately, I even named it myself."

"Taoist Priest, don't you have any way to contain this disaster star?"

"There are ways, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice." Old Mao said, "Hunyuan Daluo chases the enemy for thousands of miles with enriched uranium bombs, Taishang Tiangang's five-phase fusion rectification, twenty-eight constellations and all the heavens' grand formation, Milo's golden light, etc. Even if we go to the Dharma Gate to contain this disaster star...but we don't have nothing."

Tang Yue's facial muscles began to twitch.

After 65 million years, Tang Yue once again experienced the psychological feelings of the dinosaurs at that time... Speaking of this way of death, he never thought that he would be killed by a comet. He didn't know that Tunguska Has anyone been killed by the explosion? If not, then Tang Yue will be the first person in human history to be fortunate enough to be killed by an alien from outside. The scene will definitely be spectacular.

The only regret is that Tang Yue's work has not been completed, and the history of mankind has not been recorded, so he died like this, which is a bit sorry for his ancestors.

"Will it hit our heads? Is Kunlun Station finished? Isn't this thing much more powerful than a nuclear bomb?"

"Not necessarily. It's too early to say that the Kunlun Station will be destroyed. We can only be sure that the comet will hit the northern hemisphere, that is, somewhere north of the equator, but the specific impact location cannot be determined yet. The energy of its impact is of course much stronger than that of a nuclear bomb, and energy of this magnitude is currently beyond the reach of humans." Lao Mao said, "But as long as the distance is far enough, Kunlun Station is capable of surviving."

"How far is it?" Tang Yue asked.

"It's hard to say." Old Cat replied, "We don't know enough about this comet and need further observations and calculations. However, this is definitely the most serious impact accident in the solar system since this century. Tomcat-Tang-Mai Comet No. 1 is too massive, and the catastrophic consequences of its collision will be absolutely global, and may even affect the rotation or revolution of Mars."

The old cat still looked calm and spoke unhurriedly.

Not knowing it is fearless.

Still gave up treatment.

"If we are lucky enough, and Tang Yue is so unlucky that you get hit on the head by a meteorite when you go out, Kunlun Station may be able to survive the disaster, but..."

"Just what?"

The old cat paused for a few seconds.

"No matter where the comet hits, as long as it hits Mars, the Joint Space Station will probably not be saved."
