Chapter 355: It's Like Life

With trembling hands, the chief picked up the walkie-talkie that had fallen to the ground, and suddenly, he thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Wait, this asteroid suddenly broke in from outside the solar system?" ”

"Yes sir, in three hours, this asteroid will enter the edge of the solar system from outside the Kuiper Belt and hit the Earth on August 15." Tom pulled up a large array of data and displayed it in front of the chief.

"No way, it's just an asteroid, it doesn't have any power devices, the radius of the solar system is 6 billion kilometers, and the asteroid will not approach the Earth-Moon orbit until at least three years,

How is it possible to hit the Earth in just one week? Is it a failure of our damn device? Causing us a false alarm? ”

The Commander was suddenly silent, preferring to blame the nightmarish news on equipment failure rather than believe in the fact that an asteroid would hit Earth.

Although this asteroid will not completely destroy the Earth, there is no suspense that this thing will destroy the Earth's biosphere.

At that time, no matter where you are in the world, even if you hide in a deep basement, you will not be able to escape.

"This is the weird part, sir, you see, this is the future orbit of this asteroid." Tom's hand raced across the keyboard, then pointed to the screen, and the spit stars flew out.

"This would be astronomy, no, the most bizarre situation in the entire history of mankind, this asteroid after it entered the solar system,

It will continue to circle around Pluto, Neptune, Jupiter and other celestial bodies in the solar system, using gravitational slingshots to continue to accelerate, and finally on August 13,

Breaking away from Jupiter's gravitational orbit and shooting directly to the earth, on August 15, this crazy asteroid will directly smash more than half of the moon, and half of the moon and the asteroid will completely destroy our human civilization!! ”

At this time, Tom was already a little hysterical, because the news was so terrifying.

If it is a normal asteroid, NASA will receive the warning signal as soon as possible and predict the asteroid's orbit.

Even if an asteroid does hit the Earth, then mankind will have at least two years to gather global forces to take defensive measures.

However, this asteroid gave them only a short week!

A week's time!

What can I do in a week? An announcement was made to the public, and everyone hid in their houses and waited quietly for the destruction of the Earth!

In a week, they can't do anything, even if they put the most powerful hydrogen bomb on a rocket and launch it, it will take at least more than a month.

Not to mention that at present, due to economic problems, major countries have basically rarely set foot on the exploration of extraterrestrial planets, and the large-load, high-power rockets have basically been dismantled, leaving only the drawings in the archives.

Even if the Saturn V launch vehicle were to be restarted, it would take at least half a year to produce before it was possible to send something of the size of a nuclear bomb out of the Earth-Moon orbit and deploy it on the path of the asteroid to destroy it.

At present, human intercontinental missiles can only send nuclear bombs into low-synchronous orbits for no more than 15 minutes before falling to the ground.

Blowing up the asteroid in synchronous orbit would produce enough debris to send human civilization back to the Stone Age.

It can be said that this is a dead end. 666 Literature Network

"This asteroid, it will find the gravitational orbit of the big planet on its own, and finally use its gravitational slingshot effect to accelerate to a certain speed and then hit us? It's crazy. ”

The chief was also dead at this time, and he had always lived in a stable environment, and he was helpless in the face of such a disaster.

"Yes, it's like life, according to calculations, with its size, it's either captured by Jupiter and becomes a moon of Jupiter, or it falls into Jupiter,

It is part of Jupiter's volume, but it does not, it orbits Jupiter at least four times, and it rushes towards us at high speed! Tom danced like a madman, and the gentlemanly traditions of the Sunset Empire, the Empire of Songs, were completely discarded.

"Life?" The chief's brow was furrowed, and suddenly, he thought of the electromagnetic signal that the steel had received that exceeded the speed of light, and he suddenly rushed to his office like crazy.

Soon, he found a landline in the office, his hands almost shaking like a sieve, and hurriedly dialed a string of numbers.

"Minister of Defense, I'm sorry to bother you, but we're going to be invaded by aliens! No, it's extraterrestrial life that wants to destroy us! Come to the Space Defense Council right now! Please come right away! We humans are going to perish! ”

.....

An hour later, the highest prison in Gamada.

Inside a maple forest, there is a ten-meter-high white wall, and several watchtowers are built on the high wall, and there are soldiers patrolling constantly.

At the same time, there is also a barbed wire fence on the high wall, all of which are electrified, and anyone who dares to climb up will be killed by corona in an instant.

This is a place where felons are held, and everyone who is locked up in it is strictly controlled to ensure that they do not run out and cause trouble to the world.

A Black Hawk helicopter slowly landed on the prison tarmac, from which five soldiers with M16s and five agents in suits stepped down.

This is a member of the Amejian Marine Corps, commonly known as the fourth-class Ma Run, as well as several CIA and CIA people.

They were going to take a man to Amejian for questioning.

Soon, the GIs, guided by the prison staff, entered a tight prison.

Inside the prison, there was a little old man with gray hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, sitting quietly at his desk and reading a book.

Because the people who are locked up here are felons, in order to prevent them from making any mess, they are all the kind of single rooms, which are monitored 24 hours a day, and three meals a day are delivered, but basically they will live in this small single room for the rest of their lives.

"Dr. Kingsley, the Secretary of Defense has something to do with you." A CIA agent pulled out a command slip and placed it in front of the table.

"I know what you're going to do, hahaha, is the world going to be destroyed?" Dr. Kingsley moved his glasses and looked sarcastically at the people in the room.

"We're only responsible for bringing you there." The CIA agent had a few bruises on his forehead, but he held back.

Then several Marines brought all the handcuffs and anklets to Dr. Kingsley, and finally got into a helicopter and headed straight for Amejian.
