Chapter 274: Breaking In
March 18, 4:37 a.m.
In an ultra-long orbit 580,000 kilometers away from Blue Star, the first asteroid to break through is flying towards Blue Star.
For this S-shaped metallic asteroid with a diameter of meters, the formula is calculated according to the volume of the sphere: 43πr3.
We can conclude that the volume of this asteroid is about 349.39 million cubic meters and between 470.28 million cubic meters.
The average density of M-type rocky asteroids is 33.5, mainly silicate, and the density of S-type metallic asteroids is 5.56.0, mainly iron, nickel and silicate.
The mass of this asteroid is between 100 million tons and 100 million tons.
Such a huge mass, hitting the blue star at the second cosmic speed, producing a destructive force of nearly 100,000 megatons of TNT, all the mushroom eggs in the old human era combined, are not as large as a fraction of this asteroid.
And there are as many as 12 such asteroids.
So how does the G-tissue carry an asteroid with such a massive mass?
In fact, the lunar headquarters of Organization G has been closely monitoring and exploring the near-Earth asteroids of the Blue Moon system.
One is to beware of these asteroids hitting the moon and blue stars; The second is that these asteroids contain abundant resources.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Moon to accurately find so many suitable asteroids at one time, and it would be impossible to achieve rapid deviation of asteroid orbits.
At this time, there is an obvious impact mark on the side of the asteroid, which is left by some kind of spacecraft impact on the asteroid.
To rely on an instantaneous impact to give the asteroid a tangential force to change its orbit, what size spacecraft is needed
Taking an asteroid with a diameter of 1 km as an example, it is estimated that a rocket with a mass of 500 tons will be needed to collide with the first cosmic velocity to produce an effect.
It would seem that the required rocket is very huge, in fact this is relative.
The space rocket on the moon is in the same vein as NASA's Saturn V.
Many of the indicators of Saturn V are very amazing, its total weight is about 2,970 tons, the maximum diameter is 10.1 meters, the height is 110.6 meters, the low-earth orbit capacity is 140 tons, and the Earth-Moon transfer orbit limit capacity is 48.6 tons.
This figure does not seem to be enough to reach the scale of 500 tons.
But everyone forgot about the fact that the environment is different, and on the moon, where the gravity is only one-sixth of that of the blue star, and the atmosphere is so thin that there is almost none, the payload of Saturn V can be increased by about a double.
What's more, the G organization, which has been entrenched on the moon for decades, will inevitably pay more attention to the development of space rockets and spacecraft.
The overall mass of the large rocket launched to "carry the asteroid" is about 6,400 tons, and the payload within 100,000 kilometers is about 2,400 tons and 1,500 tons for 1.15 million kilometers.
This kind of launch vehicle is actually more like a spaceship.
And the payload does not represent the entire load, such as the part that hits the surface of the asteroid, and 30% of the mass comes from the dead weight part of the launch vehicle.
This large launch vehicle, named "Saturn VIII" by the G organization, carries three split appendage cores, which can offset the orbit of the asteroid three times.
In addition, the main body of the Saturn 8 rocket also accompanies the asteroid, using its mass to affect the asteroid's flight trajectory.
With the quantum computer owned by Organization G, they can accurately offset the asteroid to the intended trajectory and carry out precise asteroid strikes against blue stars or other vehicles. Seven or eight Chinese geniuses memorize ωωω.78zω.còм м.7.8zщ.cóм in one second
On the first asteroid, it was hit twice by two 800-ton split rocket cores, and successfully applied two tangential forces to the asteroid, plus the main rocket on the side, using its own mass to affect the asteroid's flight orbit.

On March 19, the sun rose at 8:14 a.m.
"Academician Huang, fortunately not disgraced." Li Guoqing's eyes were bloodshot and reported to Huang Mingzhe.
"Good work."
Huang Mingzhe immediately turned his head and ordered Qin Jingwei: "Launch the rocket immediately." ”
"Yes."
In the Outer Space Strategy Office, everyone was nervously and quickly arranging various tasks.
Five Long 5E pieces at the three major cosmodromes were ready, and engineers assembled the equipment on the core three stages, and then assembled the fairing.
On the afternoon of the 18th, the three major space launch centers have sent the second batch of six Phoenix satellites to the 248,000-kilometer orbit of Blue Star.
In an orbit of 248,000 kilometers, an array of 12 phoenix satellites was formed.
……
"Prepare for ignition, 10...... 5…… 1…… Ignition! ”
The Wenchang Space Center was the first to launch two Chang-5E, followed by the Xichang Space Center and the Jiuquan Space Center.
After the launch of 5 Chang-5E into low-earth orbit.
I have been paying close attention to the Blue Star side and the headquarters of the G organization also received the news as soon as possible.
Powell Moore and others, who were confident in the Stardust Storm project, were not too worried, especially since the previous two launches, the new human satellites were blocked halfway, which boosted their confidence.
As long as you wait for a while, after the asteroid group reaches the synchronous orbit of the blue star, everything will be settled, and the victory will still belong to the sub-gods in the end.
In about seven hours, the five core third stages of the long five have circled the great elliptical orbit and reached an orbit of 248,000 kilometers, which is only about 10,000 kilometers away from the moon.
Those two debris barrier belts will run rampant in the middle, blocking space traffic between the blue star and the moon.
"Academician Huang, you have arrived at the scheduled orbit." Qin Jingwei reported nervously.
Huang Mingzhe calmly stared at the star map of the Blue Moon System, nodded and ordered: "Execute according to the original plan." ”
"Yes." Qin Jingwei saluted with sweaty palms.
The previous 12 Phoenix satellite arrays, after a period of assembly, 10 Phoenix satellites and 5 Chang-5e converged in one orbit.
Then he rushed directly to the lunar orbit, as if he was not afraid of the dense steel balls and steel nails.
Jiuquan Space Center.
"Start the combined magnetic field."
"Roger."
Two miniature fusion reactors mounted on the Chang-5e are activated, and after passing through the rectifiers, a huge amount of nuclear fusion power is continuously released, forming a strong magnetic field with a radius of 5 kilometers.
Of course, the strong magnetic field only has a certain magnetic field deflection effect for high-speed flight and a large number of steel balls and nails.
"Start the Phoenix satellite."
"Roger."
I saw the two Phoenix satellites staying behind the charging cluster, and the gamma-ray lasers were in full swing, shooting towards the orbital area around the charging cluster.
The dense group of steel ball steel nail fragments and the dense gamma ray stream were in short contact, and the ultimate light melted these steel ball steel nails in a matter of seconds.
Steel balls and steel nails are turned into hot iron ions by gamma ray flow, and the iron ions are easily deflected by strong magnetic fields.
The first barrier of debris with a thickness of kilometers was torn apart by a stream of gamma rays and a strong magnetic field.
The Phoenix satellite completed its mission, charged the cluster into the vicinity of the moon's 110,000-kilometer orbit, and headed at high speed towards the second debris barrier of the 100,000-kilometer orbit.
……
Moon.
Inside the base of the Copernicus crater.
Powell Moore wiped his eyes in disbelief as he looked at the radar data and feedback from the orbital monitoring satellites.
"How is it possible for the other party to break through the stardust storm defense line"
Scientific advisor Ham Hawk frowned, carefully theorizing a series of data.
