“Is it true that an asteroid hit Blue Star?”——Suzhou user

" @Suzhou users, this is 90% true. Haven't you seen that there are exercises going on all over the country these days?" - Martian

"It seems that the area where the asteroid hit is from the Mediterranean Sea to the North Atlantic. The Milijia and the Western Continent Alliance are now in chaos." ——The Ancient God King Jingze

“The Space Development Committee won’t come out and explain?”——Dongdao user

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I haven't broken the boy's skills yet, so I have to get a lunch box." - Straight Man of Steel

" @Straight man, would you like to make a date?"——Professional kidney transplant

"I'm relieved, I don't have to pay the mortgage anymore." ——Wiaoju

" @Dwelling in a small house, we share the same happiness!"——Maximize your credit card

Huang Haojie had already received Zhong's reminder. He did not expect that this matter would be exposed so quickly, which gave him a headache.

Quickly communicate with Dongtang on the phone.

December 10th at 11:30am.

Dongtang and Galaxy Consortium issued a joint announcement to explain the matter to the domestic people.

East Island Keelung, the headquarters of Galaxy Consortium.

Ai Heping stood on the podium meticulously, and he said seriously to all the news media:

"About the WX asteroid impacting the Blue Star, it is indeed true."

The audience at the scene and watching the live broadcast immediately burst into an uproar. Although many people had already seen the joint announcement, the joint announcement had only been released less than ten minutes ago, and many people had not seen it.

Ai Heping pressed his hands and asked the reporters to be quiet: "Don't worry too much, the Space Development Committee has formulated a strict plan. When the WX asteroid hits the Blue Star, we are at least 99% sure to intercept it in the atmosphere. outside."

After speaking, Ai Heping showed everyone the planetary orbital gun plan, roadblock plan, mushroom umbrella plan... and other four plans.

"So everyone can rest assured now that even if a small part of the asteroid fragments will enter Blue Star, it will be in the Western Continent and North Atlantic region, and the East Asia and Pacific regions will be safe."

"Mr. Ai, are you sure you can successfully intercept an asteroid?" a New York Times reporter asked nervously.

"Even if the first three plans all fail, the final mushroom protective umbrella can destroy at least 95% of the asteroid's volume, break it into pieces, and minimize the harm." Ai Heping explained.

"Then why didn't you announce this in advance?" a reporter from the Global Times asked.

"The reason why it was not announced before was mainly because it was afraid of causing public panic, and all space agencies are studying how to intercept asteroids." Ai Heping said helplessly.

Although many people are not satisfied with this answer, they can only pray for a successful interception now.

NASA also followed suit and held a press conference. However, unlike Ai Heping's restraint, Maxwell was so angry at NASA's press conference that he was rendered speechless by reporters with long guns and short guns.

Although many people know that the probability of an asteroid being intercepted is very high, it has become everyone's consensus to escape from the North Atlantic coastal area for safety.

In Mi Li's house, many people drove their families to the west in their cars.

The most difficult thing is the John family and the Xizhou Alliance. Most of the entire Xizhou area may be the impact area, and the people don't know where the safe area is for a while.

The Xizhou Alliance can only open air-raid shelters and the like once to provide temporary shelter to the people.

As for those countries in the West Indies of Central America, they can only pray that the Space Development Council succeeds, otherwise the first wave of asteroid impact will wipe them out.

In order to give the world peace of mind, the Space Development Committee has announced some progress from time to time. For example, the mass projector at the Bazhong Base has been successfully transformed into a planetary orbital gun. The tungsten steel warhead is ready and can deliver a fatal blow to the WX asteroid at any time. hit.

There are also those thick launch vehicles from various countries that have been pulled out to show their strong muscles to the world.

Kaohsiung base.

In the main control room hall.

"Wang Ju, according to astronomical telescopes around the world and radio telescopes in outer space, our three spacecraft are about to encounter the WX asteroid in about 30 minutes." Zeng Baojiang said, pointing to the holographic projection star map.

Wang Tu looked at his watch. It was now 13:49 Peking time. He nodded to Zeng Baojiang: "According to the planned plan."

"Okay." Zeng Baojiang replied seriously.

About 1.63 million kilometers away from Blue Star, the olive-shaped WX asteroid rushed towards Blue Star without any direction.

About 63,000 kilometers ahead of it, three Xuanwu-class spacecraft were flying towards the WX asteroid in a Z-shaped distribution.

However, at this time, the three Xuanwu-class spacecraft suddenly braked and adjusted their flight directions through auxiliary engines. They changed from flying relative to each other to flying in the same direction.

After the three Xuanwu-class ships completed their U-turn, the distance between them and the WX asteroid was already less than 24,000 kilometers.

Due to deceleration and U-turn, the speed of the three Xuanwu-class ships dropped to 11 kilometers per second. At this speed, the WX asteroid will soon surpass them.

For this situation, the ground control center had already anticipated it.

"In 3 minutes, the WX asteroid will meet the spacecraft formation."

"2:30...2:20...2:05"

"Start the spacecraft's main engine at full power immediately."

Due to communication delays, the WX asteroid had already appeared less than 500 kilometers behind the spacecraft formation, and the spacecraft only received ground instructions.

From the main engine of the Xuanwu-class spacecraft, the light blue tail flames suddenly spurted out, and their speed soared crazily.

When the WX asteroid and the spacecraft formation met, the speeds of the two were almost the same.

At this time, Zhong's artificial intelligence sub-body "Xing" officially took over the control of the three Xuanwu-class spacecraft. With the assistance of the spacecraft's computer, Xing successfully allowed the three spacecraft to accompany the WX asteroid.

"The first step was successful." Zeng Baojiang said with his fists clenched.

"Don't let your guard down, we are still far away from success." Wang Tu was still staring at the holographic star map.

At this time, the world could observe the WX asteroid with astronomical telescopes, and also discovered that three Xuanwu-class ships had successfully accompanied the WX asteroid.

The focus returns to the WX asteroid.

I saw three Xuanwu-class ships accompanying the WX asteroid while correcting the auxiliary engines. The three Xuanwu-class spacecraft slowly merged into one, and the "Star" began to perform its mission according to the established procedures.

However, there are no mushroom eggs or the like on the three Xuanwu-class ships. After all, the consequences of exploding an asteroid are very serious, and the Space Development Committee will not choose it unless it is a last resort.

Because if you explode an asteroid at this location, even if it is successful, the large amount of debris will definitely be a disaster for the spacecraft in the Blue Star orbit.

As for the spray-painted track-changing method that Mi Li's family once proposed, it's too late now.

The so-called spray paint orbit change method is to spray white paint on the asteroid. The principle of this method comes from radiation pressure. Solar radiation will produce radiation pressure (light pressure effect) on the white surface, and the asteroid orbit will be slowly changed through the radiation pressure. .

The problem is that this method takes a very long time. According to the radiation pressure that the current solar radiation can produce, it will take at least 20 years to change the orbit of the asteroid.

Only if the Space Development Committee has 20 years to spare will they use this method.

What's more, the situation is urgent now, so there is time to waste.
