The meteorite is expected to land in the middle of the Atlantic, 34 degrees southeast of the Flores Islands, 350 nautical miles later, that is, at 4:18:12 zero, and this deviation will not affect the nuclear bomb to destroy it.

In addition, the missile bombarded the 'Little Apophis' meteorite, and the explosion produced a lot of meteorite fragments, forming a meteorite rain, which is a rocky meteorite, most of these meteorites fly at ultra-high speed in the atmosphere and the air friction produces high temperature and burns off, just like meteors, a small number of relatively large meteorite fragments will land in Missouri, southern Illinois, western Kentucky and other areas in about 14 minutes, which will cause some damage and casualties in these areas. ”

Hear, Dave. Burek nodded, "You've done a good job, Larry. "With that said, Dave. Burek turned his head and said, "Hani."

Hearing this, Hani turned his head and said, "Director Berek, please tell me something." ”

"Notify the governments and governments of these areas to be prepared to respond to meteorite debris attacks, and issue early warning information on the Internet and through radio to remind residents of Missouri, southern Illinois, and western Kentucky that in 14 minutes, there will be meteorite debris hitting the area, so that residents in these areas can prepare in advance to avoid meteorite debris falling from the sky, and also, inform, the air defense forces in the area are ready to intercept and destroy the meteorite debris that will fall, and ensure the safety of the people."

"Okay." Hani nodded, turned his head, and picked up the phone on the table.

Dave. Burek continued. "Ham. The trajectory of Little Apophis was recalculated. Link the data to the 'Henry. M. Jackson', relay it to David for me. Captain David, all Americans await their good news. ”

"Okay!"

One by one instructions from Dave. Perek's mouth came out in an orderly manner, and every instruction was strictly carried out.

On July 4, at 04:16:42, 90 seconds before 'Little Apophis' hit the Earth.

People in the darkness of the night can already see with the naked eye that 'little Apophis' is attacking the earth with a long tail flame in the night sky.

Mid-Atlantic, the waters of the Azores.

In the cold waters of the night, 'Henry. The USS M. Jackson's nuclear submarine has surfaced, with a jet-black hull and a huge steel hull, like a giant beast in the sea.

Henry. The USS M. Jackson was commissioned in 1984, at the height of the Cold War conflict. It belongs to the Ohio-class nuclear submarine, though. Strictly speaking, it should belong to Henry. Jackson class.

Originally, the U.S. Navy was expected to build 24 Ohio-class ships, but in 1991, the United States and the Soviet Union signed the Second Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, and the Soviet Union focused the U.S. nuclear strike force on Ohio-class submarines, so the last six ships in the construction plan of this class were canceled, and only 18 of the 24 ships remained.

In the beginning of this century, the Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine has been in service for 30 years, and the first few ships that entered service earlier have begun to age, and they are no longer able to undertake normal strategic nuclear deterrence cruise duty, and the US Navy has converted the Ohio, Michigan, Florida, and Georgia into cruise missile nuclear submarines carrying conventionally guided missiles.

Therefore, the Ohio-class nuclear submarines are divided into two categories: cruise missile nuclear submarines and ballistic missile nuclear submarines.

In order to distinguish, the four ships of Ohio, Michigan, Florida, and Georgia are called the Ohio class, and the last 14 are called Henry with the first boat. Jackson's class,-

Henry. The USS Jackson is part of the U.S. Strategic Ballistic Missile Submarine Fleet (SSBN) and is deployed in the Atlantic Ocean as the main nuclear deterrent in the Atlantic region.

SSBNs are the main strategic nuclear forces of the United States, consisting of 14 submarines carrying a total of about 1728 combat warheads, which is almost 38% of the total number of operational warheads in the US nuclear arsenal.

Henry. USS M. Jackson was armed with 24 Trident IID5 submarine-launched ICBMs.

The Trident IID5 missile is an intercontinental missile at the core of the U.S. sea-based nuclear forces, with a range of up to 11,000 kilometers, which allows U.S. nuclear ships to launch the Trident IID5 missile in the U.S. Navy port to strike at any position in the northern hemisphere.

Henry. The USS M. Jackson carried 8 W-76 (100,000-ton yield nuclear warheads) + MK-4 loaded into the vehicle.

One or two W-76 nuclear warheads are enough to destroy the 'Little Apophis' meteorite.

Henry. M. Jackson's boat, the command and control room, the screen of the control room, shows the flight trajectory of the 'Little Apophis', the light point in the screen represents the 'Little Apophis' meteorite, the light point is constantly moving, showing a parabolic flight trajectory of the meteorite, as the light point moves once, various data are displayed next to it, the meteorite's flight speed, flight angle, and how long it is still before hitting the earth,

Captain David. David is a very good submarine captain, with a thin face, thick dark eyebrows, a tight mouth, and an arc of his chin, it can be seen that he is a stern, rigid, serious, and meticulous person. His eyes were sharp.

David. David's eyes were fixed on the screen, his expression frozen, and he stood like this for a long time, not moving, like a statue, and the crew did not make a sound, their eyes looked at their dive, the respectable, trusted captain, waiting for his launch order.

The nuclear weapons system has been unlocked, the 'Little Apophis' meteorite has been locked, and it can be launched at the push of a button to launch the Trident IID5 missile carrying the W-76 nuclear warhead to destroy it and bury it at the bottom of the sea.

David. David's head was thinking at high speed.

Beforehand, Henry. USS M. Jackson was deployed in the Atlantic Ocean as a U.S. nuclear deterrent in the Atlantic.

When POCO observed 'Little Apophis', Henry. The USS M. Jackson happened to be cruising in the middle of the Atlantic, very close to the waters off Flores, and it was no surprise that the USS Henry M. Jackson was the best ship to carry out the order to destroy the 'Little Apophis' meteorite. (To be continued.) )
