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 the WX asteroid 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 relevant information about the WX 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 WX asteroid collided with another asteroid numbered X1368874 on an orbit 6.42 million kilometers away from Blue Star, causing its orbit to deviate. "

"The current distance of this WX 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 WX 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 it destroy asteroid W outside the atmosphere?" Zhao Hongxing looked at Wang Guanghai, Li Zhongting and others and asked.

"First, the WX asteroid is too fast; second, the maximum range of Xiongfeng 9 or Dongfeng 51 is 18,000 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 WX 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 preparations. Mushroom eggs.

And blowing up the WX asteroid is definitely not a wise move, because in order to be sure, you need to prepare at least three times the amount of mushrooms. To deflect such a large asteroid from its orbit or destroy it, a lot of mushrooms are needed.

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 fragments it will eject will not matter to the blue sky. 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 speak.

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

After finishing speaking, Wang Tu played a holographic simulation image. If the WX 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 over 10, but there will also be tsunamis and plate ruptures. , volcanic eruptions, and may even cause Blue Star to enter a geologically active period.

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

If we accidentally trigger a super volcano eruption like Yellowstone Volcano, the consequence 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 and temporarily release the permissions of the holographic conference room so that they can hold meetings here." Wang Tu ordered with a headache.

"OK."

…

NASA, Space Center Houston.

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

Although their supercomputer was much worse than Dongtang, they still simulated and calculated a rough result. It was precisely because of this result that Maxwell and others' hands and feet became cold.

Because their simulation calculation results are that the impact area of ​​the WX asteroid is the North Atlantic. The impact of such a terrible asteroid in the North Atlantic can cause devastating consequences to the entire North Atlantic coastal area in an instant.

His assistant hurried over.

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

His assistant took a breath and replied quickly: "He, he, they said let us find two holographic computers and enter this URL. They are going 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 didn't 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. Do you have any solutions or ideas for this WX asteroid?" 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?" the official representative of Mao Xiong suggested.

"Blowed up? How? This WX 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 go back and forth. Communication delay,” Maxwell retorted immediately.

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

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

"That's right. 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 will most likely cause our satellites to malfunction. Once the interception fails and the satellites malfunction again, we will only I can watch the WX 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.

The entire conference room was noisy, 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.
