My Side Job is a Trader

After hearing Zhang Xin's reasons, Qian Yawei, Yu Hanrong, and Zhao Yunchang also felt that solving the material problem first was the most important thing.

Although it is quite difficult to go to the moon to dig soil, after all, it has already been implemented, and Chaos also has a set of ready-made technologies.

Afterwards, the three chief engineers called the heads of various departments to hold a meeting to study together, put aside some currently irrelevant matters for the time being, and devote all their resources and energy to building a probe to dig soil on the moon.

With the cooperation of the whole company, the lunar exploration plan can be completed in only one year.

At the same time, spaceX, as a competitor, is constantly launching satellites. In the words of Musk, their plan is called the Starlink project. The purpose is to use thousands of satellites to form a huge network. Through these The network transmits wireless signals so that no matter where you are on the planet, you can always have a network signal.

When Zhang Xin heard this "magnificent" plan, he was also a little stunned. This plan was too crazy. Then he called experts to discuss whether the Starlink project would affect Chaos' future space exploration. After all, doing so in space If there are many artificial satellites, it will be bad if it affects future rocket launches.

Even in Chaos, some people are still guessing the real purpose of Musk's doing this. There is a conspiracy theory guessing that he may block space in this way. In the future, if someone wants to go to outer space, he must obtain his consent. In order to give up a safe passage.

Zhang Xin is also very speechless about such a brain hole, because the consequences of doing so are far beyond what a small SpaceX can bear, and even a certain country cannot be so overbearing. Some countries still have the means to destroy those satellites.

Without paying too much attention to others, Chaos began to get busy around the lunar exploration plan in an orderly manner.

At this moment, the relevant government departments suddenly detected an extraterrestrial meteorite with a diameter of 500 meters coming towards the earth, and according to the trajectory calculation, the final landing location would be a province in central China.

When Zhang Xin saw the news, a picture of a big fireball falling from the sky suddenly appeared in Zhang Xin's mind, and then caused a disaster on a huge scale. Even for the government, it could not bear such a big disaster.

Zhang Xin was startled, and quickly checked the news again, and then asked someone to contact the government's astronomical monitoring station.

Later, the reply was that the relevant astronomers had already calculated several times, and the meteorite would arrive in at most three days.

While blocking relevant news, the government evacuated people within a certain range of the calculated landing location to a nearby safe base for shelter.

And people in the military are also studying the possibility of using missiles to destroy meteorites.

A day later, the people at the inspection station sent out a very bad news again, that is, most of the meteorite is made of metal.

When the person in charge of the relevant department received the news, he was dumbfounded.

This can be said to be the worst worst news.

If the meteorite is mainly composed of stones, it is still possible to crush the meteorite with missiles and other means. If the entire meteorite is made of metal, it means that even if a large number of missiles hit the meteorite, it is impossible to destroy it. If it is crushed, it is even possible to change the trajectory of the meteorite due to external interference and increase uncertainties.

Through data calculations, the military personnel learned that after the meteorite enters the atmosphere, its speed will exceed Mach 12. In other words, with the current level of human technology, it is impossible to launch missiles to intercept such fast objects.

At this time, many countries in the world are also paying attention to this matter.

In dealing with such disasters, we all need to stand together and help each other.

The Meteor Monitoring Center of a certain country has put forward some feasible suggestions to the Huaxia government, but in the end, due to some reasons, it cannot be implemented at all.

Although the location where the meteorite hit the ground this time is within the territory of China, the impact of such a large meteorite hitting the earth will be very serious.

Some scientists have calculated that if such a large meteorite hits the ground directly, its power is equivalent to the power of a nuclear bomb explosion with the equivalent of tens of thousands of tons of TNT. Bring immeasurable casualties.

When the meteorite was expected to reach the earth in ten hours, human beings almost exhausted their means.

The government tried to use a rocket to hit a meteorite and change its orbit, thereby bypassing the earth.

It's a pity that the one-time rocket launched missed this meteorite.

Now everyone, including the group of scientists, is praying that Earth's last line of defense works wonders.

When many meteorites enter the atmosphere, they will generate high temperature due to intense friction, which will eventually cause the meteorite to burn and become smaller in size, or may explode as a result. A large meteorite will decompose into countless small meteorites, which will not cause much damage to the ground. .

When the meteorite entered the range of the atmosphere, the Huaxia military launched dozens of anti-aircraft missiles. Unfortunately, due to the speed of the meteorite, all the missiles were shot into the air.

Zhang Xin was standing on a hill a few kilometers away from the meteorite impact point, holding a monitor in his hand.

Two days ago, when the government began to evacuate the crowd, Zhang Xin asked people to set up many cameras near the place where the meteorite fell to the ground to monitor the consequences of the meteorite impact.

In the last few minutes, a fireball appeared in the sky.

Zhang Xin could see it clearly with the naked eye.

Zhang Xin looked at the size of the fireball. If it hit a county-level city, maybe a city would be wiped off the face of the earth.

Just when Zhang Xin was about to enter the hole dug in advance to avoid the shock wave before the meteorite hit the ground, the meteorite suddenly disintegrated.

Zhang Xin hurriedly contacted relevant personnel, wanting to ask if the meteorite was hit by a missile.

As a result, a few minutes later, the other party sent news that the military did not launch the missile again, and according to the military's monitoring, no missile was found to be launched from other directions.

But in this way, everyone felt baffled.

In the end, the meteorite turned into a meteorite rain and fell on the ground. Except for the damage to some houses, there was basically no loss.

Zhang Xin immediately came to a relatively large meteorite crater, and took several photos of the meteorite "Kaka" that was still emitting black smoke.

Since Zhang Xin had greeted the government in advance, from the next day, the Astronomical Research Institute under Matrix came here and paid a high price to recover the meteorites that fell on the ground.

Zhang Xin was taken by the government to a nearby military camp.

"What's wrong, Mr. Han?"

The Mr. Han he was talking about was named Han Yan, and he was from Huaxia Sports Research Center.

Han Yan said: "Mr. Zhang, someone from above told me that you know a lot about metaphysics, so we asked you to come over and see what's going on."

With that said, the two came to a car in a monitoring center.

Han Yan had someone replay the video of the meteorite falling from the sky. Zhang Xin suddenly discovered an incredible scene when he saw the meteorite disintegrate.
