Hearing the news, everyone was stunned, especially the people in Europe, who almost went crazy.

Ask if there is a solution, can we use kinetic impact again, like the first four asteroids, to pretend that the fifth fallen asteroid is also missed by the earth?

Experts said that it is impossible, the mass of this asteroid is thousands of times that of the previous ones, and the kinetic energy weapons on this side of the earth are too powerful, and now there are only two kinetic weapons, and it is simply impossible to do too much work to push the asteroid sideways, and the final deviation distance, that is, a few kilometers or even shorter, in the end, the asteroid will still crash on the European continent and will not change anything.

Some people say: nuclear bombs, what about our nuclear bombs, we can use nuclear bombs to explode again, and use 100 nuclear bombs with hundreds of millions of yields to push it out!

Experts said: 100 nuclear bombs, or hundreds of millions of nuclear bombs? How is it possible, it took us more than two months to build two nuclear bombs with a yield of 120 million yuan, and where can we find 100 nuclear bombs?

Do you really think that a nuclear bomb is so easy to build?

Moreover, even if the nuclear bomb is built now, it will be too late, and it will take time for those nuclear-powered ships to return, and when it sends the nuclear bomb into the sky and places it on the asteroid to detonate, the asteroid will probably be less than a million kilometers away from the Earth, and it will only be a few hours before it reaches the Earth.

What's the point of detonating it again at this time? Can you push it so that it doesn't crash into the earth? Can you push it into the deep sea area of the Atlantic Ocean? Obviously, it can't.

Someone cried and asked, "So what now?" My family and friends are still in Europe, and if an asteroid hits the continent, they will die. ”

Someone said: "It's over, Europe is over." ”

Someone: "It's not just Europe...... I really thought that the rest of the world would have survived such an impact, and think about how the dinosaurs became extinct in the first place. ”

After learning the news, the countries of Europe began to initiate emergency relocation measures, hoping to send their nationals to the East or the American continent in just six or seven days.

But it is clear that there has never been such a rehearsal before, and it is simply impossible to transfer seven or eight billion people in a short period of time, and for a time, Europe is in chaos, and the emotions of panic, helplessness, despair and pain are spreading throughout the continent.

For them, it's the end of the world.

The Earth Defense Council was helpless, Qin Yongtu was almost gray overnight, and the officials of various countries were trying their best to appease the people's emotions, but in the face of the impending asteroid impact, everyone was afraid and uneasy in their hearts, including Jiang Bo.

He is not afraid of death, as long as he does not go to Europe, he will not die, but he is afraid that he will not be able to stop the impending disaster.

At 5 p.m. on July 16, there were only 18 hours left before the fifth asteroid hit Earth, and the asteroid was less than 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth.

After flying away from Earth, the space laser finally arrived in space 10,000 kilometers away from the asteroid after a nearly four-day voyage.

However, the speed of the spacecraft and the speed of the asteroid are very fast, and the two sides are facing each other at this time, and if they do nothing, with the speed of the asteroid at 23.8 kilometers per second and the space laser at 16.5 kilometers per second, it will only take more than 4 minutes to collide.

On Earth, in the monitoring hall of the Yangcheng Earth Defense Council, the Sky Survey Space Telescope captured the footage in space, transmitted it back to Earth in its entirety, and transferred it here. Several experts stood in front of the big screen, pointing at the pictures and data on the screen.

Expert 1: Isn't this the Black Bone laser that took off in Jakarta before, how did it get to the asteroid and what does it want to do?

Expert 2: It's too fast, both the asteroid and the laser are too fast, the relative distance between them is less than 10,000 kilometers, and it will collide in 4 minutes at most.

Expert 3: Crazy, yes, the laser is not turning yet, do you really want to collide?

Expert 4: Perhaps, they want to use lasers to hit the asteroid head-on and slow it down?

Expert 5: It's useless, the quality of both sides is not in the same order of magnitude.

Specialist 6: Alas, it's going to crash into ......

Just when the mood of the experts was very low, an astonishing scene appeared on the screen.

A laser beam that is brighter than the sun suddenly erupts from the head of the laser and shoots directly at the head of the asteroid directly facing it.

Then, I saw that the laser began to rotate at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to detect, and quickly illuminated all the surfaces that could be illuminated by the asteroid's front.

Then, the experts found that five minutes had passed, and the asteroid and the laser had not yet collided, and the distance was still widening.

It turned out that the laser used the reverse thrust of the laser to quickly slow down, and then began to accelerate in the opposite direction, which was consistent with the speed direction of the laser in a short time, and the asteroid was irradiated by a large number of high-heat lasers, and the material on the surface vaporized instantly, resulting in a huge reverse thrust, which slowed down the asteroid.

After the experts figured out the principle, they were excited.

Expert 1 said the idea was great!

Expert 2 said that it was also too advanced.

Expert 3 said that the screen shows that the asteroid is decelerating at an acceleration of 9 m/s², and if this acceleration is maintained, at most, at most......

Expert 4: In a maximum of 45 minutes, the asteroid will be forced to stop in space at a distance of 1.4 million kilometers from Earth.

Expert 5 burst into tears: it's great, Europe is saved!

Expert 6 worried: But will it succeed? Haven't you calculated how much energy it would take to stop an asteroid with a kinetic energy equivalent to the explosion of 42 100-million-ton nuclear bombs?

Expert 7 added: Moreover, with laser irradiation, the heat energy is converted into kinetic energy, and the loss is at least more than 70%, and the energy required will be more, not just 42, but at least 140......

All the experts fell silent, and some even blamed the laser, why not choose to illuminate sideways, as long as the asteroid's orbit is offset, isn't it?

Time passed silently, and ten minutes later, the experts found that the blinding laser beam was still shining and spinning.
