Chapter 268: The Human Nuclear Bomb (Part I)
"Brother Heavenly Soul, is the asteroid really about to hit the earth?" Qi Yue asked coldly. Along the way, his injuries had healed, but it would take at least two days for the sharp energy of Athena's spear to be completely dismantled.
"Yes." The Heavenly Soul agreed first, and then immediately reacted, and said in a lost voice: "You, how do you know?" It's top secret. ”
Qi Yue sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that his status in the Yanhuang Republic is still far from being compared with Yuyan in Greece! People were the first to inform them, and now they have to hide themselves.
"I don't know how I can tell you, but is it true?" Qi Yue said in a deep voice.
Heavenly Soul nodded solemnly and said, "No matter where you learned about it, but this is indeed true. An asteroid will enter the Earth's atmosphere in 37 days, and judging by its current trajectory, it will hit our Earth. And, the location is very scary, it's the Pacific Ocean. If an asteroid were to hit the Pacific Ocean, it would be only one-seventieth the size of the Earth, but the force of the collision would inevitably cause the Earth to deviate from its orbit and cause the extinction of all life on Earth as a result of this devastating catastrophe. One in seventy! It's not much smaller than the moon. Can you imagine? ”
Qi Yue would rather have deceived himself again than want to know this fact, but now the fact is already in front of him.
"What now? How is Yan Huang prepared to deal with it? ”
Heavenly Soul smiled bitterly: "How else can I deal with it, now the heads of state are consulting closely. This is no longer a national problem, but a problem for humanity as a whole. Within 37 days, we must come up with effective countermeasures, otherwise human civilization will be ruined. There is only one and only chance that there is a way out. That is, the orbit of the asteroid is deviated from the orbit of the Earth. In that case, as long as it deviates from the Earth's rotational position. It didn't crash into the earth. All problems will be solved. At present, the United States has sent a space exploration plane to fly in the direction of the asteroid, and as soon as the components of the asteroid are obtained, the final preparations of various countries will begin immediately. ”
Qi Yue scratched his head and said, "I don't understand this, Brother Heavenly Soul." You just have to tell me, how much are we likely to derail this asteroid? ”
Heavenly Soul looked at Qi Yue solemnly and said, "I don't know, if the structure of this asteroid is very loose and the composition is not heavy metals, we are more than seventy percent sure, otherwise, it is only thirty percent." The most powerful weapon in the world is undoubtedly the nuclear bomb, but a large number of nuclear bombs explode, even in outer space. It must also not be too close to the Earth, otherwise the shock wave will have a drastic effect on the Earth's climate. Therefore, this bombing must be carried out in outer space. The total number of nuclear bombs in various countries is about 15,000, but it is impossible to use all of them, because the number of intercontinental missiles that can reach outer space is very rare. There are only about 400 of them in the world, and even if the whole world works together to rush to work, before the asteroid comes, it will only be able to muster up a maximum of 500 to carry the most powerful nuclear bomb. Whether these 500 nuclear bombs can knock the asteroid out of orbit is the key to whether we can continue to survive. ”
Qi Yue frowned slightly, and said, "I seem to have heard that the total number of earth nuclear bombs in the world now seems to be able to destroy the entire earth!" How could an asteroid that is only one-seventieth the size of the Earth be helpless? ”
Heavenly Soul rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, there is something wrong with your understanding. Destroy the planet. That's about destroying all living things on Earth. The Earth is shrouded in radiation. It's not that the Earth has been blown up. The earth is so big, although the power of nuclear bombs is not small. But I'm afraid it won't be able to blow through the earth's crust. And the asteroid and the destruction of the earth are completely different concepts, we want to blow it up as much as possible, or let it deviate from course, as for what it seems to be, it has little to do with us. Now I just hope that the asteroid doesn't contain too many heavy metals. Otherwise, it may really be over. ”
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and said with some embarrassment: "I am illiterate, Brother Heavenly Soul." Now we have to wait. What does Admiral Ji mean by calling me back? ”
Heavenly Soul's face changed, and he said, "You better ask the admiral in person, it's not convenient for me to talk about this matter." ”
Soon, they had already arrived at the National Space Administration, and there was a special pass on the Heavenly Soul car, and they did not encounter obstacles. When the Heavenly Soul took Qi Yue to a hall, even with Qi Yue's boldness, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, there was a huge screen in the center of the hall, which displayed many things that Qi Yue couldn't understand. But he knew that there were stars on the shoulders of those people standing in the hall, at least the rank of colonel. With generals, the star land accounts for the majority, and it is obviously the military leadership of the Yanhuang Republic. The expressions on everyone's faces were very solemn, and they were constantly discussing something with each other, which made the whole hall seem a little noisy.
Heavenly Soul asked Qi Yue to stand there and wait for a while, and immediately went to find Admiral Ji.
Qi Yue looked around, he was naturally very worried about the destruction of the earth, but even a strong man like him could not think that he would be able to stop the disaster brought by the asteroid with his own strength. After all, no matter how strong manpower is, it is limited after all, and it is impossible to compete with the entire universe. Now I just hope that all countries can unite against this disaster. Master, master, your prediction is too strong, the first wave of disasters is coming in this way, what role can your own unicorn play?
After a short time, Admiral Ji and Heavenly Soul walked over together, the old man's expression looked very solemn, and he seemed to have become a little older, looking at Qi Yue, he barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "Let's go, come with me to the temporary conference room." He patted Qi Yue on the shoulder cordially and led him to the temporary office of the National Space Administration.
Admiral Ji asked the Heavenly Soul to go out to guard without his orders. No one is allowed to come in and disturb them.
"Just now the Heavenly Soul told me that he had already told you the general situation." Admiral Ji said solemnly.
Qi Yue nodded and said, "Yes, I already know. ”
Admiral Ji said: "First of all, this matter must not be spread, and now the whole matter is still strictly kept secret, in order to avoid panic among the people." ”
Qi Yue said: "I understand, don't worry." Uncle. What did you call me for? ”
Admiral Ji sighed and said, "Originally." I don't advocate using you. However, as the owner of the Diamond Guardian Medal, when the national disaster strikes, you are really needed to step forward, and after consulting the State Council, the chairman decided to temporarily drop you to the Yanhuang Soul and perform a special mission with the Yanhuang Soul. ”
Qi Yue said: "Uncle." I heard Brother Heavenly Soul say that this time I need a nuclear bomb to solve the problem, so what can I do? You're not going to let me go to other countries to steal nuclear bombs, are you? I think that in the face of such a catastrophe for all mankind, those powerful countries will not cherish themselves with brooms. ”
Admiral Ji nodded and said, "That's right, in the face of the impending disaster, the current unity of all countries is unprecedented. The United States, which has always been in a hegemonic position, is the most nervous, not only fully disclosing the extent to which they can detect and the number of nuclear bombs they have, but also sharing their technological advantages with other countries in order to survive this crisis. And the task you are about to carry out is extremely dangerous. I'm calling you today. I want to ask for your opinion, and if you don't want to, even if you lose these stars on your shoulder, I will do my best to fight for you. ”
Qi Yue didn't directly answer whether to agree or not, and said indifferently: "Uncle, what kind of task is it?" I need to know the specifics to decide. ”
Admiral Ji said: "That's right. The number of ICBMs in various countries is very limited, and the number of ICBMs that can actually hit the asteroid at a sufficient distance is even rarer. The fact that there are a large number of nuclear bombs in the air that cannot exert the power they should have is the biggest problem we have now. So. After consultations among countries. Whatever the composition of that asteroid, we must be prepared firsthand. Since nuclear bombs cannot be launched with ICBMs. We would have to send a spacecraft to detonate a nuclear bomb on an asteroid in a close-range manner. The ejection of the spaceship cannot be too close, because even if the density of the asteroid is small, it itself has a strong gravitational attraction, and once the spaceship is attracted to it, then the power of the nuclear bomb may not be generated. Therefore, after consultations among the countries, it was decided that the explosion of the nuclear bomb would be triggered by human power. The United States has developed a special device that can be worn by a person and then launched a nuclear bomb. In other words, this mission is for you to take a spaceship to outer space, and after a certain distance from the asteroid, the spaceship will eject you, and when the asteroid comes, you will launch the nuclear bomb on your body to play a key role. ”
Listening to Admiral Ji's words, Qi Yue couldn't help but gasp, although Admiral Ji didn't say it explicitly, he could understand it, this was obviously a suicidal blockade! Using the body to launch a nuclear bomb, not to mention whether it will be affected by the nuclear bomb due to the proximity, the various changes in the universe and the gravitational pull generated by the asteroid alone are huge problems. This is no longer a matter of nine deaths, and I am afraid that the chance of survival may not even be one in a thousand. However, this is also the only way to solve the problem at the moment.
Admiral Ji couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Qi Yue's slightly discolored appearance, and said, "Of course, if the ICBM can successfully use the power of the nuclear bomb to deflect the asteroid from orbit, you don't need to take this next step." However, we must be prepared to prepare for a rainy day. Japan has the third largest number of nuclear bombs in the world, and it is incumbent upon us to ensure the safety of the world. Because the weight of the individual nuclear bomb weapon researched by the United States is more than five hundred kilograms, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can carry, even in the Yanhuang Soul, only a small number of people can do it, otherwise, you will not be taken into account, Qi Yue, you go back and think about it, and give me a clear answer within ten days. ”
Qi Yue smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Uncle, it won't take ten days, I'll give you an answer now." I'm willing to go. ”
Four simple words, but said Qi Yue's determination, looking at his firm gaze, Admiral Ji Changming's eyes couldn't help but moisten, the general's voice trembled a little and said: "Qi Yue, you, are you really willing to go?" However, it is clear that she ......"
Qi Yue smiled indifferently and said, "Uncle, don't tell Ming Ming anything before I leave." Or, when the country needs it, all of our zodiac guardian warriors are willing to give their lives for the country. If the earth is destroyed, it will not only be us who will die. Besides, if we carry out this operation, we don't necessarily die, do we? There's always an opportunity. I would like to go, uncle, and I would like to ask you to tell the chief in charge of this operation, that I will definitely go and report before I depart. ”
Ji Changming stood up suddenly, the old man did not affect his straight body, and towards Qi Yue, he gave an extremely standard military salute, tears flashed in his eyes, looking at Qi Yue, he was already choked and speechless.
In fact, Qi Yue's worries in his heart are not very great, for others, maybe such a task is really a lifetime, but for him, the chances of survival are much greater. After all, he is the king of the powerful zodiac. Even if a nuclear bomb exploded at his feet, it would not have killed him. The only thing that could pose a threat to him was the environment of outer space. Judging from the situation just described by Admiral Ji, this human body blasting operation can obviously only be carried out after a certain range from the earth, if after the mission is carried out, the spacecraft does not come to pick them up in time, Qi Yue does not know whether it is possible for him to fly back, even if he flies back, it is also a huge problem whether he can pass through the atmosphere with the ability of **. That's all he thinks about now.
When Qi Yue returned to the Dragon Domain Courtyard, it was already late, in order to give himself more chances to survive, he specially asked the Heavenly Soul for a lot of information about this asteroid, the so-called knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles. By looking at the information, he understood why the asteroid came so suddenly.
