Chapter 13 Landing Meteorite
The success of the Federation team greatly boosted the morale of the Yanguo team, and also made the six billion people on the blue star look forward to rejoice, and even Chen Xin was full of confidence in the success of this rescue operation at this time.
After all, the Federation has completed the mission with their lives, so that the rescue operation has been completed by one-third, as long as the next mission of the Yan Nation Team is successfully completed, the meteorite will be pushed away from the impact orbit, and the crisis of the end of the world caused by the impact of the blue star will be resolved.
At this time, everyone in the world has put down what they are doing, and their eyes are glued to the TV screen, paying attention to the people who are saving Blue Star 380,000 kilometers away from Blue Star.
At this time, the Yan Guo team was encouraged by the success of the federal team, and also drove the Yan Guo spacecraft to rush towards the meteorite by taking advantage of the gap between the debris flow on the surface of the meteorite and being blown open by the blasted nuclear bomb.
Perhaps because of the change in the volume of the meteorite, or the absence of the interference of the EMP shock wave caused by the explosion of the nuclear bomb, although the signal of the Yanguo team was not very good when approaching the meteorite, the communication with the blue star was not interrupted.
Thanks to this, six billion people around the world were able to clearly watch the Yanguo team gradually approaching the surface of the meteorite through the cameras installed on the Yanguo spacecraft, and watched the whole process of the meteorite gradually changing from a mountain in the universe to land.
Chen Xin was also shocked by the scene captured on the screen, which was definitely not a scene that could be easily seen on the blue star.
A wide-angle camera is installed on the Yanguo spacecraft, so the captured picture is wider than that of ordinary cameras, and the impact of the picture at this time is also more shocking.
The surface of the meteorite is uneven, and there are also pits formed by the impact of debris, which looks like a burnt cake.
But I'm afraid not anyone in the world will have an appetite for this cake, because it's just too big.
Even though they had been blown up by the Federation and split into two pieces, the two meteorites still had a volume of several kilometers in diameter, and as the spacecraft approached, watching them grow larger and larger in the line of sight until they filled the entire line of sight, the visual impact was indescribable and indescribable.
If I had to use an analogy, it's the feeling of a rock the size of the Himalayas falling from the sky and hitting you right in the head.
Looking at the huge meteorite, Chen Xin couldn't help but think in his heart, if such a big meteorite really crashed into the blue star, would humans really survive?
Dig shelters yourself, prepare food and water, all aspects are taken into account, but ...... There is a fatal loophole, but Chen Xin can't deal with all these preparations.
That's when this meteorite fell, he was really lucky to survive, or he was even more unlucky, and the meteorite hit him on the head.
Although the power of a meteorite with a diameter of several kilometers is not as powerful as when it was originally more than ten kilometers in diameter, if it is smashed in Asia, Chen Xin can say with certainty that his chances of survival are slim.
At this moment, looking at this huge meteorite rolling in, he panicked and was afraid.
Originally, when facing the disaster of the meteorite hitting the blue star, as an online writer who usually has a black hole above his neck, this kind of thing is not even worth mentioning in his novels, which also caused Chen Xin to have a lack of sense of crisis in the face of this disaster.
Although he tried his best to prepare for various disaster measures, he calmly dug shelters, stockpiled supplies, and prepared for the end of the world......
But he didn't have a definite idea of the meteorite coming.
It's like everyone knows that tigers are dangerous, but how dangerous tigers are, until they see people being bitten to death by tigers, no one will think that the ones in the cage in the zoo are either fat and can't walk, or the soft and big cat-like guys are fierce beasts that can eat people.
It is only after encountering danger that people truly realize the horror of danger.
Chen Xin was the same, he had no concept of meteorites before, so he was able to calmly make all kinds of responses before this life-and-death crisis, but now when he saw with his own eyes how big that huge meteorite was, he was frightened.
Not only was he scared, Chen Xin also felt sincerely scared, he was afraid that he would really die.
Just by watching it live on the blue star, you can feel such a strong impact and the pressure brought by this extremely impactful picture, and you can imagine what kind of pressure the astronauts who are facing this meteorite in space at this time.
But at this time, on the Yanguo spacecraft, the astronauts from the Yanguo country were not afraid of difficulties and dangers, withstood this pressure and at the same time shouldered the life and death of six billion people around the world, and drove the spacecraft towards the meteorite.
It didn't seem difficult to see the two space shuttles of the Federation team blasting the debris stream with nuclear bombs and forcibly landing on the surface of the meteorite, but when the astronauts of the Yan Kingdom drove the spacecraft to the meteorite, they realized how difficult it was.
Although the impact of a nuclear bomb explosion blows up the debris stream, this does not mean that landing on the surface of a meteorite is not dangerous.
Because there are still some gravel that has not been blown away, or has not been blown open enough, once a collision occurs, the hull will be damaged, and the ship will be destroyed and killed.
Fortunately, the spacecraft made by Yanguo is better than the Federation's space shuttle in terms of flexibility, and the astronauts have also done relevant simulation exercises before departure, so under the astronauts' superb piloting skills, the Yanguo spacecraft still landed on the surface of the meteorite smoothly, just scraped off a layer of paint by debris, damaged several antennas, and there was no major damage.
Landing on the surface of the meteorite is only the first step, and then the astronauts of the Yan Kingdom have to carry out the operation of exiting the capsule, fixing the main part of the spacecraft - the special heavy thruster and fuel tank on the surface of the meteorite, and then letting it do work on the meteorite and push it to change orbit.
Because of the need to push the meteorite, the landing site of the Yanguo spacecraft has also been carefully calculated to ensure that the installation point of the thruster is the appropriate force point, otherwise, even if the thruster can push the meteorite, but the direction of thrust is not the same as the expected hope, then all this will be in vain.
Fortunately, everything seems to be blessed by the gods, although the Federation team has lost a space shuttle, but so far, all the steps of the entire rescue operation are going according to plan, and even the spacecraft of the Yan Nation team has landed in the ideal position.
As long as the astronauts fix it to the surface of the meteorite, they will be able to use the thrust of the thrusters and the gravitational pull of the moon to push the meteorite away from the impact orbit, thus avoiding the apocalyptic crisis of the blue star.
