Chapter 277: Space Monitoring Center

Since the advent of the Star World, Earth's technology has been developing rapidly, and it is not too much to describe it as a technological explosion. Moreover, in recent years, more and more rune equipment in the star world has clearly shown that in many cases, things that cannot be solved by technology, can be combined with runes to work wonders.

Different from the pure rune research of the Immortal River Territory, the major powers of the earth are more likely to combine their own technology and runes to a certain extent, and develop very distinctive rune technology. When more and more such examples appear in life, human beings have become accustomed to runes from curiosity and amazement at the beginning.

Since runes are the bridge of communication laws, general functional rune combinations do not need to be driven by energy, and can directly absorb the ubiquitous yuan force, but the general large-scale rune equipment and instruments consume too much, and the thin yuan force can no longer be supplied, so it can only rely on a special energy source, that is, the yuan crystal to drive. Therefore, today, the role of Yuanjing is becoming more and more extensive, and it has already become a strategic resource for all human countries.

The space shuttle that Mizhou landed on Mars before was a masterpiece of science and technology and runes, especially the most important plasma engine, which depicted a large number of rune combinations, and a large number of Yuanli alloys were used as materials, making it enough to withstand tens of millions of degrees of high temperature, and sailing at a high speed of hundreds of kilometers per second with the entire spacecraft.

Of course, in addition to Mizhou, Zhongxia also followed closely behind, developing corresponding spacecraft, and the indicators were not weak at all. Originally, there has been competition between the two sides, and the actions of the two sides in space over the years are enough to become a space race.

With this kind of competition, the area that the two sides have set foot on is getting farther and farther, not only the solar system has basically been covered by footprints, but even various moons, as well as on the outer Neptune celestial body, there have also been human footprints.

Although so far only permanent bases have been established on the Moon and Mars, and other celestial bodies have only landed on them, the rate of development is enough to amaze anyone.

......

At this moment, on an asteroid at the edge of the solar system, a large black instrument is standing there. This is a survey monitoring instrument that monitors the movement of asteroids in the outer solar system and provides reference data for astronomers.

In fact, before the Big Bang, astronomical institutions on Earth were monitoring a large number of asteroids in real time, just to prevent problems before they happen, after all, asteroids are too much of a threat to the Earth.

After the explosion of science and technology, the area that human beings can explore is getting farther and farther, and the corresponding monitoring range of asteroids is becoming more and more extensive, especially the asteroids outside Neptune, which is one of the key points of monitoring. Including this monitoring instrument, it has been installed on a large number of asteroids outside Neptune. Of course, such large-scale projects cannot be supported by a single country, but by human beings.

Compared with ordinary competition, cooperation is still the mainstream in some major matters related to the fate of mankind.

Drip!

When the three massive ships flew by, the lens of the instrument was already pointed at it. It's just that it's too far away from the sun, and the interstellar space is pitch black, so you can't see what exactly is flying by, and you can only rely on the faint light to see the general outline, and know the existence of the three spaceships through gravitational detection instruments.

"Toot, toot, toot!"

Through simple calculations, several warning lights immediately appeared on the instrument and began to send warning signals in the direction of the earth.

In the messages sent, the monitoring was basically sent to the earth as it was.

Three suspected small celestial bodies, all about 300 meters in diameter.

Of course, the most important information is that the orbits of these three suspected celestial bodies -

Right on the earth!

And they're faster than you think!

What these two points mean, I believe everyone knows very well.

According to the simple calculations of the monitoring instruments, at this speed, these three suspected small celestial bodies can steadily hit the earth in just a few hours.

Originally, in the setting of the survey monitoring instrument, there was a classification of the asteroid threat detected.

Generally speaking, all celestial bodies within the monitoring range of each instrument, the instrument will calculate its orbit, speed, size and other parameters, basically most of the celestial bodies do not pose the slightest threat to the earth, and the impact rate of a few threatening celestial bodies is also low, often one in tens of thousands.

But these three celestial bodies, if they follow the current orbit and speed, the impact rate with the earth is basically more than 99%. Even some gravitational disturbances from other planets on the way have little effect on the orbit of this celestial body, which is so high that it is almost metamorphosed.

This probability is like shooting a random bullet on the earth, but it just hits an ant on the moon, and the coincidence is extreme.

Not to mention three asteroids, even one can bring devastating disasters to the earth. After hitting the Earth, an asteroid of this magnitude could wipe out all life within a radius of thousands of square kilometers of the impact site, and the dust released into the atmosphere could affect the ecology of the entire Earth. If there are three of them together, the power is not simply superimposed, and the destructive power will be increased many times.

These two pieces of information directly trigger the highest warning set inside the monitoring instrument, so that it can continuously issue early warning in the direction of the earth with the highest power and frequency.

......

Earth, Space Joint Monitoring Center.

This agency, which was jointly funded by the major powers of the planet three years ago, is responsible for the maintenance, management and data processing of survey monitoring instruments throughout the solar system. Due to the peculiarities of the asteroid threat, it also has the qualifications to communicate directly with the highest levels of the major powers.

"Woo~~Woo~~Woo~~Woo~~~Woo~~"

At this time, the shrill alarm echoed in the spacious and bright hall, the red light flashed rapidly, all kinds of instruments worked wildly, and the entire center automatically triggered the highest level of warning for the first time.

The scientific researchers, who had only experienced the simulation exercise, were stunned for a long time for the first time, and immediately entered the most nervous moment after reacting.

Turn off the alarm, receive the data with all your might, analyze it, calculate it, and finally have a report in minutes.

"Quickly! Immediately, send this report to the United States, Zhongxia, and Europa...... As fast as possible!" After reading the report, the person in charge of the monitoring center issued this order in a hurried tone before his body was paralyzed.

In fact, what the person in charge did not know was that almost at the same time, the helmsmen of the major powers had already learned the news. If it is an ordinary threat, it will naturally not alarm the high-level, but if it is this kind of highest-level early warning, it is different. When the monitoring center was first established, it was presupposed that this information could be automatically transmitted to the upper management.
