The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Theoretically speaking, it is not dangerous for the earth to cross the asteroid belt.

Although there are more than 500,000 planets in the asteroid belt, these asteroids are evenly distributed in the orbit around the sun of more than 200 million kilometers between Mars and Jupiter, and the average distance between asteroids is more than 300,000 kilometers.

If it is just an ordinary spacecraft, it can easily find a safe route through the asteroid belt.

But the earth is different. The diameter of the earth is as high as 12,700 kilometers, and the mass is as high as 5.965*10^21 tons. Such a huge celestial body passing through the asteroid belt is enough to cause asteroids within millions of kilometers near the earth's waterway to produce large Scale disturbance.

The journey across the asteroid belt is as high as 200 million kilometers, and it will take nearly two months.

In the meantime, once an accident occurs, an asteroid with a diameter of more than 100 meters falls into the Eurasian continent or the North American continent, which may cause a large-scale shutdown of the planetary engine.

If the planetary engine shuts down, the acceleration of the earth slows down, coupled with a series of subsequent chain reactions, what awaits the earth is likely to be a catastrophe.

Not to mention, humans can currently only predict the orbits of asteroids with a diameter of more than 500 meters, and a large number of asteroids with a diameter of less than 500 meters are even difficult to observe.

For this reason, the United Earth Government started preparations decades ago.

In order to deal with asteroids, human beings have taken out the most powerful weapon ever-antimatter bombs.

When building the planetary engine around the equator, human beings simultaneously built a super particle collider around the equator.

It is through this collider that humans have accumulated a considerable amount of antimatter in the past thirty years.

Once the earth officially begins to pass through the asteroid belt, the space fleet will go out for reconnaissance on a large scale, using antimatter bombs to destroy asteroids with a diameter of more than 100 meters on the course.

As for asteroids with a diameter of less than 100 meters, they can only be resisted by the earth.

Earth aligns the southern hemisphere in the heading direction as the main impact zone of the asteroid.

Most of the southern hemisphere is dominated by the ocean environment, and the immigration has been completed. There is no planetary engine built, and it is not a big problem to carry asteroids hard.

In addition, in order to cope with the possible crisis caused by this operation, the coalition government has also formed an advisory team composed of top scientists from all over the world to provide intellectual support for this operation.

Pang Xuelin was also selected as the scientific advisory team for this operation.

The reason is not the high-purity carbon nanotubes he led to develop, although the birth of carbon-based chips has enabled humans to create more powerful supercomputers.

The Coalition Government is mainly looking at him for his achievements in mathematics.

In the past few years, Pang Xuelin used the BSD conjecture to achieve another mathematical achievement on the Wandering Earth plane. A top mathematician plus a material scientist is enough for him to enter the sight of the top leadership of the United Earth Government.

...

This morning, Pang Xuelin woke up from his dream.

Yao Bingxia, who was sleeping next to him, had already woken up, and could faintly smell the fragrance of his wife left in the bed.

Pang Xuelin got up from the bed, washed, brushed his teeth, and then came to the dining room.

Yao Bingxia was busy in the restaurant wearing an apron, and there were porridge, small pickles, steamed buns and other breakfasts on the table.

"Brother Lin, you're up, and you still have two fried eggs, which will be ready later!"

Soon, Yao Bingxia came out with a plate containing two poached eggs. The two sat together and had a hearty breakfast.

After breakfast, Yao Bingxia found Pang Xuelin's neatly pressed tie and suit jacket from the room, put them on for him, and handed him the suitcase he had prepared long ago, saying: "This time to go to the headquarters of the coalition government, Be careful on the road, now those spaceship factions outside are starting to make noise again, saying that it was a huge mistake for the earth to cross the asteroid belt, and human beings will pay a heavy price for it. Wing' may target scientists who are heading to Coalition Headquarters to support the operation..."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Don't worry,

They're just jumping clowns, and they won't be around for long. Besides, the routes we chose are all confidential. They don't even know which flight we're taking, and they can't find the target even if they want to! "

Yao Bingxia said: "It's best if you don't have anything to do, this time I'm going out for three months, I'm not around to take care of you, but don't forget to eat when you're busy with work like before!"

"Got it, my little housekeeper!"

Pang Xuelin reached out and scratched the bridge of her nose.

Yao Bingxia gave him a blank look, handed the briefcase to Pang Xuelin, went up and gave Pang Xuelin a hug, then tiptoed and pecked Pang Xuelin's lips, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go!"

"Then I'm off!"

The two bid farewell.

When Pang Xuelin came out of the house, several soldiers downstairs who were in charge of guarding him had been waiting for a long time.

A short-cut man who looked extremely capable stepped forward and saluted: "Professor Pang, hello, I am Wang Lei, Captain and Squadron Leader of the Earth Defense Force, and I have been ordered to escort you."

Pang Xuelin was taken aback for a moment. After so many years in the world of Wandering Earth, this is the first time he has seen a character with a surname in a movie.

Wang Lei is one of the protagonists of the movie. In the end, in order to protect the heroine Han Duoduo, he sacrificed himself on the steering engine of Sulawesi No. 3.

In the movie, his wife and children were all in Jiangcheng No. 1 underground city, and eventually died because the flint to restart the engine of Jiangcheng No. 1 was not delivered in time.

Pang Xuelin observed carefully again, Wang Lei's subordinates in the movie, Liu Zi, Gang Zi, Zhou Qian and others who had appeared before were also there.

"Captain Wang, thank you for your hard work this time!"

Pang Xuelin and Wang Lei shook hands and said.

"No hard work, no hard work, Professor Pang, it is our honor to escort you!"

Wang Lei looked a little excited, and there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes looking at Pang Xuelin.

In the No. 1 underground city of Jiangcheng, Pang Xuelin was a well-known figure.

This is not only because of his status as the vice president of Jiangcheng University, but more importantly, as the inventor of high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes, Pang Xuelin successfully solved the core problem of carbon-based chips and is one of the promoters of the new generation of human information revolution. Under the intentional or unintentional propaganda of the government, Pang Xuelin has a lot of fame all over the world, especially in Jiangcheng No. 1 Dungeon.

Therefore, for Wang Lei and the others, meeting Pang Xuelin was like meeting a legendary figure.

"Okay, it's almost time, let's go!"

Under the leadership of Wang Lei, the group went straight to the underground hangar and boarded a transport plane.

Then, the transport plane was pushed into a large elevator platform and sent directly to the ground airport, and then the aircraft engine was started, and it flew directly to Siberia.

The main control room of the earth engine is located in an underground city 20 kilometers deep in Siberia, which is also the headquarters of the United Earth Government.

Since the southern hemisphere is the forward direction when the earth passes through the asteroid belt, the safety of the northern hemisphere full of planetary engines is relatively high. The closer to the North Pole, the lower the probability of being hit by an asteroid.

The United Earth Government in Siberia is considered one of the safest areas.
