From the Island Owner to the King

On February 15, 2013, Chelyabinsk, a bright light streaks across the sky, leaving a white trail, followed by a loud bang, a huge meteorite with a mass of 7,000 to 10,000 tons 30 to 10,000 tons from the ground. It exploded at a distance of 50 kilometers, and after it disintegrated, it formed a meteorite rain that fell on the ground, causing more than 1,000 people to be injured.

Chelyabinsk was hit by such a huge meteorite, and the residents of Chelyabinsk were not warned by the government or the government beforehand.

'Little Apophis' seems to move erratically in space, which makes NASA even more headaches.

Because the meteorite moves irregularly in space, which means that it is impossible to calculate and predict its flight trajectory and landing point. The trajectory, the protagonist who succeeded in letting the earth escape the catastrophe of the meteorite, can't be counted, the meteorite moves irregularly, how can it be counted! !

However, now, countries all over the world are staring at the United States on the map, the east coast, the inland sea of ​​New York, 37 degrees northeast, the sea area 12 kilometers away from the coast of New York,

This is the location where the 'Little Apophis' will land on the prophecy slate.

However, countries have not relaxed their vigilance. Anti-aircraft missiles have been prepared, nuclear submarines cruising in the ocean, and nuclear bomb silos hidden in various places by nuclear powers have been prepared for launch. Countries have made preparations for the worst.

However, nuclear bombs will not be fired until it is absolutely necessary. once. The nuclear bomb was launched. The meteorite rain formed by blowing up 'Little Apophis', as well as the nuclear radiation energy, will be another disaster——

At 10:00 a.m. on July 3, there are still 18 hours and 17 minutes before ‘Little Apophis’ hits the earth.

New York, as well as Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Delaware, mostly evacuated coastal residents.

New York, the capital of the world, has become a ghost town. The streets of Times Square, District and Fifth Avenue are no longer prosperous and become very depressed. The Empire State Building, known as the seventh wonder of the world, has been empty. Wall Street, the center of world finance, is at this moment. , has faded the color of money, and turned into a yellowed photo, usually on a very busy road. Not a single car had been seen, the waters on the Hudson River in Manhattan were very calm, and the busy waterway returned to the tranquility of the evening.

At this moment, the world capital is strangled by the throat and has stopped breathing—

At the junction of 3rd Street and E Street in the southwest of Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, stands a 9-story office building with a simple appearance.

This is the famous NASA headquarters.

The 'brain' of the largest civil space agency on earth is active in this building. The NASA headquarters, which has no 'personality', is not easily recognizable by its appearance like the White House and the Pentagon. However, the foyer on the first floor The astronaut model in the white space suit and the toy-like space shuttle hanging there will not make you think you have gone through the wrong door.

Although NASA headquarters is not as well-known as some of its affiliated space centers, the headquarters in Washington Columbia is the operational center of NASA.

NASA has about 30,000 official employees, which is very large. However, compared with other US government agencies, NASA can be regarded as a streamlined and streamlined administration. Compared with this, not to mention the Ministry of Defense, which has a total staff of several million people, after the '9.11' incident The newly formed Department of Homeland Security also has 170,000 staff.

There is a Planetary Defense Coordination Office () under NASA, a new department established in January 2016, the immediate responsibility is to monitor and track asteroids, comets and other celestial bodies existing in the Earth's orbit to respond to any potential celestial threats, .

The 'Little Apophis' meteorite was observed.

I have been tracking the flight path of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite and calculating its landing point.

One of the offices was crowded with people, including the president of Cleveland, the vice president, the secretary of defense, and a few four-star generals.

Everyone stared at the big screen in front of them, which displayed the flight path of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite.

Director Dave Bureck introduced to President Cleveland, "The 'Little Apophis' meteorite is rocky, with a diameter of about 35 to 40 meters, and a meteorite mass of 70 to 80,000 tons. The mass of the meteorite that landed in Chelyabinsk in 2013 was 8 to 10 times the mass. The 'Little Apophis' meteorite flew extremely fast in space and flew towards the earth. Entering the atmosphere at a speed that is 17 times the speed of a bullet."

Dave Berrek said here, his voice paused, and he said with some fright, "We are now able to sit here calmly and deal with the impact of 'Little Apophis' on the earth, which must be thanks to Chen Rui a year ago. The warning of 'Little Apophis' allows us to observe 'Little Apophis' dozens of hours in advance, and this allows us to have enough preparation and time to deal with 'Little Apophis'. If 'Little Apophis' is allowed to enter the earth The atmosphere was only observed, with the meteorite in the atmosphere exceeding 64,000 kilometers per hour, then everything will be too late, predicting the fate of New York predicted on the slate, the number of casualties of 2.17 million people is almost doomed.”

Hearing the words, Cleveland nodded and said, "Indeed, all Americans need to thank Chen Rui, he saved the fate of New York, saved the lives of 2.17 million Americans, and saved the economy of the United States, wait for the meteorite. When the matter is over, I personally called Chen Rui to thank Chen Rui." After speaking, he paused and continued, "Where is the landing site of the meteorite, and the degree of damage to the earth."

Dave Burrek shrugged and said, "I'm sorry. President. Because 'Little Apophis' moves irregularly in space, the impact of the meteorite's landing site on the Earth cannot be calculated.

You must know, Mr. President, that meteorites hit the earth at different angles and cause different degrees of damage. Meteorites hit the earth at right angles. The kinetic energy generated is the largest, and the damage to the earth is the greatest. The meteorite hits the earth at a very small oblique angle, and the damage to the earth is the least. The meteorite falls on the sea and hits the land, and the degree of damage to the earth is very large. s difference,.

However, one thing is certain, a meteorite with a diameter of 35 to 40 meters and a mass of 70,000 to 80,000 tons hit the earth. The level of damage done to Earth is level 3, level. Potentially threatening celestial bodies, regional destruction effect, that is to say, if 'Little Apophis' falls in the inland sea of ​​New York, it will be destructive to the nearby area, and the tsunami caused will be the first to hit New York, followed by Coastal coasts of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware,. "

"Do you have any plans to deal with it?" Cleveland continued to ask Dave Burke.

"Yes." Dave Berrek nodded and said, "We have formulated a detailed interception plan. First, the launch missile will deflect the flight path of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite, making it head towards the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Then, launch a nuclear bomb to destroy it, the meteorite rain formed after the meteorite is destroyed falls on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and the nuclear radiation of the nuclear bomb explosion remains in the Atlantic Ocean, reducing the destructive force of the meteorite and the nuclear radiation impact of the nuclear bomb to the minimum."

"What's the probability of success?" Cleveland asked Dave Burek.

"90%, this plan has been implemented, with a success rate of more than 90%. We also want to thank Chen Rui. He gave the specific landing site of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite, the inland sea of ​​New York, 37 degrees northeast, 37 degrees northeast In the sea area of ​​about 12 kilometers off the coast of New York, we can determine the flight path of the meteorite in the earth's atmosphere through reverse calculation. Then, launch a missile to deflect it, and launch a nuclear bomb to destroy it in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Otherwise, this interception plan will be 30 % success rate is not." -

July 3, 22:40 ET.

The 'Little Apophis' meteorite flew out of the shadow side of the moon and brushed past the lunar surface.

At this time, as long as you look through the astronomical telescope, you can see the 'Little Apophis' meteorite, flying at an extremely fast speed, flying in the direction of the earth.

July 4, 00:27 ET.

'Little Apophis' flew away from the gravitational circle of the moon and flew towards the earth.

July 4, 2:17 ET.

Satellites observed that the 'Little Apophis' meteorite was only 27,680 kilometers away from the ground, which means that this uninvited guest is between low-Earth orbit and geosynchronous orbit. The former is a large number of man-made celestial bodies, including the International Space Station and Earth observation satellites. Orbits, which are the orbits of satellites that provide us with meteorological and communications services, are very close to Earth at this time.

The nations of the world prepare for a sleepless night together.

Satellites, space telescopes around the world keep a close eye on the 'Little Apophis' meteorite.

In the United States, anti-aircraft missile systems have locked their bearings.

Several nuclear submarines cruise the mid-Atlantic, designated locations.

Waiting for the launch command.

Countries around the world have not relaxed, the missile defense system has been raised to the highest alert level, and the nuclear warheads of nuclear countries have been aimed at the sky, waiting to be activated and commanded to launch.

In NASA's command hall.

Tonight was also a sleepless night for the President of Cleveland, the Vice President, the Secretary of Defense, many generals.

On the big screen, the flight orbit of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite captured by the detection satellite is displayed.

It can be seen that the 'Little Apophis' meteorite flew towards the earth at a very fast speed

July 4th, 02:47 ET.

The 'Little Apophis' meteorite entered the Earth's atmosphere, because the meteorite and atmospheric mocha burned, dragging a long white flame tail behind the 'Little Apophis'.

"The current flight speed of the little Apophis' meteorite is 67,272 kilometers per hour, and the flight angle is 76.4 degrees. It is expected to hit the earth in about 1 hour and 20 minutes."

"The current flight speed of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite is 68,124 km/h, and the flight angle is 77.6 degrees. It is expected to land in the Atlantic Ocean in about an hour, and the specific orientation cannot be calculated."

The current flight speed of the ‘Little Apophis’ meteorite is 64,178 km/h, and the flight angle is 75.6 degrees. It is expected to land on the Atlantic Ocean in about 45 minutes, and the specific orientation cannot be calculated. "

Dave Burrek walked gently to President Cleveland and said to the President, "Mr. President, 'Little Apophis' has 6 minutes and 42 seconds to enter the first missile ambush point, whether to launch a missile to intercept it. "

"At this time, what is the success rate of launching a missile interception?" Cleveland asked Dave Berek.

"Because the 'Little Apophis' meteorite is too high from the ground, the flight speed and flight angle of the meteorite are constantly changing, so the success rate of launching missile interception is only about 50%."

"Wait a minute," Cleveland said.

The current flight speed of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite is 65,171 km/h and the flight angle is 72.6 degrees, and it is expected to land in the western Atlantic Ocean in about 32 minutes."

"The current flight speed of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite is 62,118 km/h, and the flight angle is 71.6 degrees. It is expected to land in the Atlantic Ocean in about 24 minutes. The landing site of the Little Apophis' meteorite can be determined in the coastal waters of the east coast. ."

Dave Burrek said to President Cleveland again, "Mr. President, 'Little Apophis' has 3 minutes and 12 seconds to enter the second missile ambush point, whether to launch a missile to intercept it."

"What is the success rate of interception." Cleveland said.

"76%."

"What are the consequences if this interception fails," President Cleveland asked Dave Burke.

"There are two consequences of interception failure. First, the missile did not hit the meteorite, which is the most ideal failure. No, it will affect the interception of the third missile ambush point. Second, the missile hit the meteorite, but missed. , then, the consequences are very serious, the third missile ambush point behind, the fourth missile ambush point all fail, the meteorite falls to the landing site of the unknown, perhaps, the meteorite landed in the Atlantic Ocean, or it may land on the African continent, or Europe, Asia, it will have very serious international repercussions."

Also, if you hit the 'Little Apophis' meteorite into the Atlantic Ocean, it's okay to say that if you hit the meteorite on the land of other countries, people will definitely quit. If it hits the land of polar bears, people dare to throw a nuclear bomb directly at you. . (To be continued.
