Chapter 502: Asteroid Countdown
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ——! ”
Wang Quan's black body instantly rushed straight up at a starting speed of Mach 15, and after adjusting his position, Wang Quan accelerated straight to the top again and flew towards the [Yabinsk Oblast] at a high speed, if Wang Quan was careful, his maximum speed at this time had reached Mach 21.
It's one Mach faster than his fastest Mach 20 limit speed in the moment.
Mach 1 = 340.3 meters per second.
The higher the speed, the slower the boost.
From the magic capital to the [Yabinsk region] the whole city is 6850km, with Wang Quan's 21 Mach full speed, which is equal to 7146.3 meters per second.
1km = 100 meters
10km = 10,000 meters
100km = 100,000 meters
1000km = 1000000m
685.0km = 6,805,000 meters
6,805,000 meters divided by 7,146.3 meters equals 952.2 seconds and 15.87 minutes.
The accurate time estimated by the system is 18 minutes, and Wang Quan took a second to read at the beginning and then entered the speed time on the spot, so 17 minutes and 59 seconds is equal to 1079 seconds.
The time given by the system to Wang Quan is 1080 seconds minus 1 second equals 1079 seconds, and Wang Quan would only need 952.2 seconds if he advanced at a speed of 7146.3 (Mach 21) per second.
1079 seconds - 952.2 seconds = 126.8 seconds ≈ 2 minutes and 7 seconds.
So the gap time is 2 minutes and 7 seconds.
Can Wang Quan move at full speed at Mach 21?
Of course not, Wang Quan is still a human being, as long as he is still a human day, he will never go full speed at Mach 21, after all, he will be tired.
As for the acceleration of the asteroid after the friction of contact with the atmosphere volatilizes some mass?
Of course, it will not accelerate, so the system can accurately estimate the exact arrival time of the asteroid.
Therefore, the time given to Wang Quan is enough to save the lives of these five million people, life is one thing, in fact, the measure of the salvation point in Wang Quan's heart is greater than the life, if the life is 4, then the rescue point is 6, four to six such a psychological comparison.
At this time, Wang Quan was flying at extreme speed in the dark night, and he had no idea that the speed of this asteroid had reached Mach 40 per second, that is, 13,612 meters per second. In other words, eighteen minutes equals 1080 seconds.
1080 seconds multiplied by 13612 meter seconds equals 14700960 meters.
14700960 meter is equal to 14,700.96 kilometers, which means that Wang Quan has eighteen minutes to accept the asteroid impact [Yabinsk Oblast], and the asteroid is only 14,700.96 kilometers away from the place of the crime.
The velocity of an asteroid in outer space and the way it stops:
Fast (no gravity in outer space + gravitational pull of the earth) - slow (passing through the atmosphere and there is air resistance) - fast (passing through the atmosphere + free fall) - slow (the weight loss after being melted is slower than in outer space) - stopping (landing).
At the same time, at the moment when Wang Quan accepted the task, that is, eighteen minutes and hours, it corresponded to half past one in the morning when Wang Quan was in China.
Huaguo is five hours faster than most places in the goose country.
Goose Country, night: 8:28 a.m., two minutes before Wang Quan accepted the mission of an asteroid hitting the Earth.
Weather: The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
In a certain penthouse.
A young man wearing a white casual shirt + big pants combination, handsome, standing next to a rooftop telescope, named Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov, is a crazy UFO enthusiast and an astronomy enthusiast.
Often alone at night, he uses this astronomical telescope to observe news beyond the earth.
Just now, his right eye in the telescope was suddenly widened by him, and his heart seemed to tremble.
Yes! That's right, he also discovered the asteroid, and at the same time, some astronomy enthusiasts from other countries around the world have discovered the asteroid, but the people who called the observatory were rejected one by one, saying: "What are you kidding? So many asteroids and meteorites are discovered every year that pass by the Earth. ”
Therefore, this is why the observatories of some countries did not pay attention to this matter, at most they received so many phone calls, and everyone's description was an asteroid and a meteorite, because these observatories can receive dozens to hundreds of such calls every day, and they are too lazy to care, so this matter is stopped in other countries.
Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov instantly turned around and took out a pen and paper and began to calculate, and after listing a series of changes, Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov finally calculated the location of the asteroid with a high probability of landing.
In the end, it took Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov exactly two minutes to come to the conclusion that the landing place was ... Goose Country !!
At this time, it happened to be half past eight in the night of the Goose Country, and the time coincided with Wang Quan, who was in China at half past one in the morning, to receive the task.
Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov didn't say a word, and called the observatory directly, saying that he had discovered that an asteroid in outer space was hitting the earth, and the impact site was the goose country, which exact location was exact, Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov didn't calculate it, but just calculated a rough idea of the location of the goose country.
Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov was unusually resolute, and the staff of the observatory said that they knew about it and would pay attention to it.
In the observatory, there were not many people, and only five staff members were left on duty.
One of the staff members received a phone call, and the other end of the phone claimed that an asteroid impact would occur in his country, and in order to stabilize the strange man on the other end of the phone, he said that he knew and would be concerned, and then hung up the phone.
At this time, a middle-aged man next to the white-clothed staff asked curiously: "Is it a meteorite again, is it the phone of an asteroid hitting the earth?" ”
"That's right, I can get these calls every day, it's really annoying, talking about asteroids and meteorites every day." The middle-aged man who answered the phone said lazily.
"Haha! That group of lunatics must have paranoia of victimization. The middle-aged man smiled, then turned around and went to the hallway to make a cup of tea.
Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov was hung up, he obviously felt the perfunctory attitude of those people at the observatory, and Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov's original intention was just to let the observatory pay attention to it, make sure it, and then notify the military district to see if it can be intercepted, even if it can't, then try, otherwise the consequences will be super serious.
As an astronomy enthusiast, Ivan Ivanov knows that it is impossible for a D-bomb to intercept an asteroid or meteorite, but he still hopes that the axe will pay attention to it.
But now it's good that this group of lazy staff is so perfunctory to themselves, and their attitude is obviously extremely resolute.
"Alas!"
Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov sighed, is this the fate of the country of geese?
"Why are there so few superheroes in our country?"
He walked to the window and looked up at the bright moon, the night sky was still so bright, peaceful, and quiet, and the traffic downstairs was still flowing, and the horn was dripping.
People seem to have no idea that a devastating danger is coming.
Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov had already given up, and in a few minutes he made countless phone calls, whether it was a relative, a friend, or anyone, and in the end the other party thought it was a joke and praised Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov for having a sense of humor.
