Start a Base

The long-awaited message finally came back.

"Asteroid found! Asteroid found!" The pilot's tone was excited and hasty.

"The radar is locked, the orbit of the asteroid is normal, the speed is 18 kilometers per second, and the fleet starts to accelerate..." The fleet commander immediately issued an order.

call--!

In the command center of the Moyang Empire, people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, the asteroid was discovered, which proves that there is not much deviation in the orbit calculation.

The first step was successful!

"The merger has started, approaching... the distance is 13,790 kilometers!"

People who had just relaxed a little bit suddenly started to get nervous again.

Merging orbits is infinitely more difficult than radar detecting asteroids.

And it's only more than 10,000 kilometers away, which means that when the Moyang Empire got the news of the start of the merger, everything that was more than 10 million kilometers away had already happened.

The time went back to 10 minutes ago. After the fleet commander sent the merge report, he led the fleet to accelerate towards the asteroid.

The speed of 18 kilometers per second is almost a thousand miles on the surface of the planet.

But in the void of the universe, it seemed to be still. If it weren't for the vibration of the spacecraft engine, the people inside would feel that they were not moving at all.

A few minutes later, a pilot reported: "Front right, visually found an asteroid!"

All the observation equipment of the spaceships were thrown in that direction.

Sure enough, an asteroid with a diameter of more than 200 meters was found, rolling and flying forward, with pits and irregular shapes on the surface.

"Brothers, success or failure depends on one move, so keep your spirits up. If you miss the asteroid, you will have no extra power to turn, and you will become wanderers in the universe. I don't need to say more about the ending, right?"

"yes!"

"clear!"

The pilot of the fleet lifted his spirits, fixed his eyes on the radar, and made the final orbit adjustment.

"Pilots with nuclear fusion reactors, please pay attention, everyone can make mistakes, but you can't make any small mistakes! Otherwise, everyone's efforts will be in vain!"

"Yes! If you can't complete the task, please come and see me!"

"The distance is 8660 kilometers!"

"The distance is 6328 kilometers!"

"The distance is 3100 kilometers!"

 …

As the distance approached, Rao, even the guard pilot with an extremely strong mentality, was sweating nervously.

Because what this mission is about is much more important than their personal lives.

They are not afraid of death, but afraid of not being able to complete the task.

Thousands of logistics personnel worked hard for a month, mobilized a lot of resources, shouldered the expectations of all human beings around the world, and the Doom Yang Empire fleet finally started the final step of landing on the asteroid.

"The first spaceship is about to contact!"

Everyone instantly turned their attention to the spaceship at the forefront of the fleet.

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

Boom!

"Successful landing!"

The first spacecraft accurately landed on the surface of the asteroid, stretched out its mechanical arm, and firmly fixed the hull on the asteroid.

A successful start greatly boosted the confidence of the soldiers.

In the next few minutes, the astronauts of the End Yang Empire were like a swarm of bees returning to their nests, landing on the asteroid one after another.

Of course, not all spaceships were successful. On the edge of the asteroid, several spaceships passed by and flew into the vast universe.

There were also some spaceships that found that their orbits were wrong, and after emergency adjustments, there were even greater deviations, and they smashed hard on the asteroid, causing a burst of flames.

The fleet commander has no time to grieve for the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, "To count the losses, the spacecraft equipped with nuclear fusion reactors will report the situation first!"

"Fusion 1 landed successfully."

"Fusion 2 landed successfully."

 …

"Fusion 67 successfully landed!"

"Fusion 68 barely landed, the hull was damaged, and the loss of internal equipment is unknown!"

The commander's heart skipped a beat.

"Quick, I want to know the status of the equipment as soon as possible!"

"Yes! No. 68 will conduct an investigation immediately."

A few minutes later......

"The equipment is in good condition and does not affect the use!"

call--!

The fleet commander wiped the sweat from his forehead, "God bless, there is no mistake at all."

"No. 69! Where is No. 69?"

The call was not answered, and a bad premonition arose in the fleet commander's heart.

He immediately started radio communication, "No. 69, report your situation!"

"Sir, I... I'm sorry for the entrustment of the lord, the landing failed, and now I'm more than 3,000 kilometers away from the asteroid..."

"What?"

The atmosphere froze at this moment, the nuclear fusion reactor parts were missing, and the consequences were disastrous.

"Spaceship 69, which part of the nuclear fusion reactor are you loading?"

"Return to the sir, the cooling device!"

"Cooling device?" The commander frowned and thought, this is a key component, if there is no

There is a cooling device, and the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees may even melt the outer shell of the reactor.

"Sir, the cooling unit is loaded on several ships."

The commander quickly checked. Fortunately, all other cooling components landed successfully. The nuclear fusion reactor should be able to operate, but the power is not as powerful as the complete one.

"Spaceship 69, activate the self-explosion system!"

Once the landing fails, it means that it is irreversible. The fate of this spacecraft is to wander in the endless universe. The astronauts in it have no hope of survival. In order to prevent the unknown risks brought by human technology falling into the deep space of the universe, This self-explosion system was developed before departure.

"Spaceship 69 has activated its self-destruct system, goodbye sir, goodbye brothers, I wish you good luck..."

"boom--!"

There was a short pop on the radio, followed by silence.

All the astronauts silently saluted in that direction, then looked away, and started busy with the work in front of them.

"Other spacecraft, immediately assemble a nuclear fusion reactor and place an aeroengine!"

"yes!"

The cabin was opened, and a large number of robots walked out of it, carrying the equipment in the cabin, and walking towards the predetermined location.

"Report to the command center that most of the fleet successfully landed on the asteroid, and one-fifth of the fusion reactor cooling components are missing!"

Ten minutes later, the Mo Yang Empire received this message.

Everyone was happy and worried. They were happy that the fleet had finally successfully landed on the asteroid after traveling more than 10 million kilometers. They were worried about how the lack of nuclear fusion reaction device components would affect the plan.

Li Wu and other relevant scientists are nervously calculating how effective the nuclear fusion reactor can be when one-fifth of the cooling device is missing.

At this time, the asteroid is only more than 10 million kilometers away from Saturn.

It will take at least more than a week to push it away from the existing orbit, so there is not much time left for human beings.

at this time.

"My lord! My lord!" Li Guang hurried over.

"what happened?"

Li Guang wiped his sweat and said, "My lord, the latest calculation results show... show..."

Speaking of this, he was a little afraid to go on.

"Show what?" Li Yunpeng said in a deep voice.

"My lord, because the distance of the asteroid was too far, we could only determine the approximate orbit. Now that the distance is close, our team recalculated and found that... the orbit of this asteroid is not completely Coincides with Saturn and Moon!"

Snapped!

Li Yunpeng patted the table: "What?"

"Made, more than 3,000 spaceships, more than 6,000 ace pilots have traveled thousands of miles, and now you tell me that the orbit of the asteroid does not completely coincide with Saturn?"

Li Yunpeng was angry.

If Li Guang wasn't a top scientist, he would have killed him right now.

The sweat on Li Guang's forehead was like a waterfall, and it quickly reappeared after being wiped off.

"My lord, the calculation results of all scientists in the world are consistent! This asteroid is a threat to Saturn, but it is tens of millions of kilometers away, and there is no way to accurately measure it..."

With the current level of human technology, it is indeed impossible to do accurate calculations. The monitoring results of radio telescopes around the world are the same, and the probability of an asteroid hitting a planet does exist.

This kind of high-speed star threat can't wait until the distance is long enough to get accurate results before acting. At that time, everything will be too late.

"Made!" Li Yunpeng clenched his fists, "How much is the error now?"

"Come back, Lord Master, within 2000 meters..."

"How far will the asteroid pass by Saturn?"

"Here, at a distance of 29,000 kilometers to 31,000 kilometers from Saturn..."

Li Yunpeng felt that he had ten thousand words of MMP in his heart, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.
