Chapter 360, Panic

In the vast void of the solar system, the eternal loneliness and coldness are like the years of hundreds of millions of years ago, without a trace of waves or changes.

In the empty void, the Qinglong spaceship was like a falcon that captured its prey, dragging its prey in the void at a speed of 50 kilometers per second towards the earth.

The time of departure is October 2028, at this time more than a month has passed, and if you want to return to Earth, it will take more than a month to fly.

Time passed slowly, and the Qinglong spacecraft was getting closer and closer to the earth, and it was impossible to see the earth with the naked eye in space.

But after more than 20 days, everyone found the earth in the starry sky again, and gradually they were able to see the earth with the naked eye, and slowly the earth became bigger day by day in the field of vision.

Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin on the Qinglong spacecraft are tirelessly calculating the time and place of the meeting of the two over and over again every day to ensure that there will be no problems.

You must know that although the diameter of this asteroid is only about 1,000, the mass is only 150 million tons, which is only a little dust compared to the earth.

However, for human beings, once it falls to the earth due to a mistake in operation, it can definitely produce a terrifying destructive power that destroys the world, and at that time, it may have to be destroyed, and the efforts of the past few months will be in vain.

On the other hand, the first asteroid mining in human history is also missing, and in fact it is impossible to hide it, and the huge body of the Qinglong has attracted global attention since it began to be built.

With the development of the interstellar space age, various countries have established huge cosmic astronomical research institutions in space, equipped with astronomical telescopes that are much more powerful than the previous Hubble, and can also casually discover the Qinglong spacecraft dragging asteroids.

The eyes of the world are on space, and as time goes by, all kinds of reports about this asteroid are endless.

Qinglong, the largest spaceship ever built by Galaxy Technology Group, set off for the asteroid belt in October, and after nearly three months, it finally returned to Earth again.

According to the relevant data released by Galaxy Technology Group, the mass of this asteroid has reached 150 million tons, and this asteroid is basically composed of iron, according to the current development of space, the value of this asteroid will exceed 400 billion Chinese dollars.

At the same time, it also marks another big step forward in human history, where we can obtain resources is no longer limited to the moon near the earth, but can ask for resources from the entire solar system, and it also marks that mankind has truly entered the space age.

Time magazine's reports are very detailed, citing a lot of scientific data, and the attitude is relatively neutral, and I am happy for the progress of mankind.

As for the rest of the Western news media, there is more of a sense of apprehension.

At present, in space, there is a large asteroid with a diameter of more than 1,000 meters and a mass of nearly 150 million tons hitting the earth, once it collides with the earth, its power is comparable to that of millions of Hiroshima atomic bombs, which can easily wipe out the entire earth's life and completely destroy the entire human civilization.

Once the earth is hit by this asteroid, we humans are likely to be destroyed by this asteroid just like the dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago.

And this is not a natural thing, everything is a technology company in Huaxia - Galaxy Technology Group, it is Galaxy Technology Group that single-handedly promoted all this, they disregarded the safety of billions of humans around the world, and went to the asteroid belt to drag the asteroid to hit the earth, just to obtain the pitiful resources contained in the asteroid.

At present, all governments have jointly protested to Huaxia and reserve the right to use force to destroy the asteroid, and we formally express our protest to Huaxia and Galaxy Technology Group, and strictly prohibit anything that threatens the fundamental interests of all mankind.

There have been many reports like this, and the Western news media have expressed their concern about this matter, demonizing it, believing that it is a stupid act that pushes human security into the abyss without regard for the interests of all mankind, and people around the world have carried out countless demonstrations and protests under the coverage of these news media.

The Chinese embassies in various countries did not know how many rotten eggs, carrots, vegetables, shoes, underwear, etc., were attacked, and there were large crowds of people at the gates of the embassies of various countries to express their anger and dissatisfaction.

Even the heads of state of various countries have called Huaxia to ask about the specific situation, whether it will have an impact on the earth, whether it will directly impact the earth, some powerful countries and even the entire country are on high alert, once there is an accident, they will destroy the asteroid in space.

Huaxia's side naturally promised again and again that there would be no problems, we had enough strength to deal with any situation that might occur, as for the destruction of the asteroid, everyone would not bother with it, once the situation changed, we Huaxia ourselves would also respond as soon as possible.

Just kidding, Huaxia will not be stupid enough to let other countries destroy the asteroid now, and finally dragged a high-iron asteroid back from the asteroid belt, which is of great significance for promoting Huaxia's further development into space.

If you want to build more space buildings, space farmland, space solar farms, space cities, space factories, space fleets, etc., these are inseparable from a large amount of steel, and the mining of asteroid resources will definitely be carried out sooner or later.

It is not a problem what space factories, space fleets, etc., can be built if you want, and you no longer have to fear that other countries on the planet will unite to put pressure on you.

Huaxia's superiors are very aware of the stakes involved, so although the pressure exerted by the countries of the world on their side is increasing, and the wave of protests from all countries around the world is getting bigger and bigger, the upper side has insisted that all this is under control, and the asteroid will definitely not have any impact on the earth, please don't panic, we Huaxia has the strength to face everything that may happen.

Today is different from the past, the current China has long been different from what it used to be, and everyone can only protest except protest, and dare not really take any practical action.

As time passed, the Qinglong spacecraft dragged the asteroid closer and closer to the Earth, and the entire Earth became nervous.

The same is true for Qin Yi, just in case, Qin Yi also took out a powerful weapon from the science and technology tower, and in the event of an accident, he could destroy the asteroid as soon as possible.

After all, compared to the safety of the earth, this asteroid is nothing at all, and Qin Yi doesn't dare to joke.

On January 7, 2029, almost the world's eyes were focused on space, and Galaxy Technology Group's Qinglong dragged the asteroid from the dark void.

In space, Qin Yi, Liu Peiqiang, Lu Qingwei and other scientists from the Galaxy Academy of Sciences were all present at this time, and in Tiangong Space City, many well-known scientists from the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, the heads of the Huaxia Space Field, and the heads of the Huaxia Military were all here, and all of them were waiting nervously.

The space-based weapon system set up in space is in a state of attack at any time, and once things are out of control, the upper side will also choose to destroy the asteroid as soon as possible.

"Calculate the probability that an asteroid will be captured by Earth's gravity!"

Almost at the same time, the heads of all parties around the world gave orders to their subordinates, and the quantum computers on the side of Galaxy Technology Group and the supercomputers on the side of the country began to run wildly.

"The probability of being successfully captured by the earth's gravity is 99.999%, and the error rate is only 1 in 100,000."

Soon, the supercomputer calculated the data to 3 decimal places, and now the distance between the two sides is very close, and everything is very easy to calculate.

"Weapons systems are always on standby."

Even though scientists have reported accurate data, the order to keep weapon systems on standby at all times is no joke, and it must be done with care and caution.

On the other hand, Qin Yi is the same, the weapon taken out from the science and technology tower is under the control of the old man of the science and technology tower at this time, once the asteroid is destroyed by the upper side, Qin Yi's side will take action and destroy the asteroid.

The time slowly came to 12 o'clock, and the second-generation anti-gravity engine on the Qinglong spacecraft had also started, and the ropes connecting the asteroids had collapsed tightly.

Naturally, this is also done in order to be able to modify the trajectory and speed of the asteroid at any time, leaving enough leeway.

The asteroid and the earth are getting closer little by little, in fact, under the calculation of the scientists of Galaxy Technology Group, the asteroid and the earth will not meet head-on at all, but there is a taste of passing by, just because the mass of the earth is too large, and the mass of the asteroid is too small.

Therefore, when the asteroid's flight speed is reduced to enough to get rid of the shackles of the earth's gravity, the asteroid will be captured by the earth's gravity and become the new satellite of the earth.

There will simply be no such thing as the Western news media proclaimed, the asteroid will collide with the earth head-on, directly destroying the earth's civilization, and if there is an emergency, in fact, the asteroid and the earth will pass by, and there will be no impact on the earth at all.
