Space Development Committee, internal holographic conference room.

Wang Tu, Zhao Hongxing, Li Zhongting, Zeng Baojiang, Wang Guanghai, Academician Ma and more than a dozen people were all solemn in the holographic conference room at this moment.

"The above has allowed us to prevent the WX asteroid from hitting the blue star as much as possible." Zhao Hongxing said straight to the point.

"That's what Mr. Huang meant, let's make a long story short." After Wang Tu finished speaking, he projected the relevant information of the WX asteroid into the middle of the conference room.

"What a disaster!" Li Zhongting smiled bitterly.

Wang Tu pointed to the holographic projection of the blue star and said: "This WX asteroid collided with another asteroid numbered X1368874 in an orbit 6.42 million kilometers away from the blue star, which caused the orbit to shift." ”

"At present, the distance between this WX asteroid and the blue star is 5.63 million kilometers, which is very fast, and it can advance about 1.35 million kilometers in the direction of the blue star in one day, leaving us with little time." Academician Ma then said.

Everyone knows that at the speed of the WX asteroid, there are only about 100 hours left before it hits the blue star.

"If you launch a Hsiung Feng 9 or Dongfeng 51 with a large mushroom egg, can you destroy the W asteroid outside the atmosphere?" Zhao Hongxing looked at Wang Guanghai, Li Zhongting and the others and asked.

"First, the WX asteroid is too fast; The maximum range of the second Hsiung Feng 9 or Dongfeng 51 is 18,000 kilometers, even if the range can be increased in outer space, but it is about 30,000 kilometers in the sky; third, the power of the mushroom egg is very small in outer space, and it can only offset the orbit of the asteroid at most. Wang Guanghai shook his head and explained.

As for what we often see in disaster movies, the asteroid is going to hit the blue star, and then humans launch a spaceship, take mushrooms up to blow up the asteroid, and finally blow the asteroid into slag after a lot of hardship.

In reality, this situation is not only very difficult to operate, but also only if there is time to prepare.

Now it is less than 100 hours before the WX asteroid hits the blue star, except for the mass projectors of the Dongtang and Galaxy Consortium that can launch spacecraft immediately, the space agencies of other countries do not even have enough time to prepare launch vehicles, let alone prepare mushroom eggs.

And bombing the WX asteroid is definitely not a wise move, because in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is necessary to prepare at least three times as many mushrooms, and to deflect an asteroid of this size or destroy the asteroid, it is necessary to have a lot of mushroom equivalent.

Li Zhongting gave a preliminary estimate of the data: the deflection orbit requires at least 3~5 mushroom eggs of 1 million tons of equivalent level; To completely destroy, it may take 3~5 mushrooms of the equivalent level of 10 million tons.

"And the speed of this asteroid is too fast, if we can't destroy it or deviate from its orbit from 1 million kilometers away, once it enters within 1 million kilometers, even if it is destroyed, the debris it sputters out will definitely be a catastrophic consequence for the spacecraft in the blue star orbit." Wang Guanghai continued to explain.

"This is a very contradictory problem, our launch vehicle has a limited range, and if it fails to intercept within 1 million kilometers, then it will ......" Li Zhongting could no longer say.

Wang Tu rubbed his slightly swollen temples and said: "According to the simulation results of the supercomputing center, the WX asteroid will hit the blue star at 23~24 o'clock on December 11, 2019, and the impact area is between the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Tu played a holographic simulation image, if the WX asteroid hits the Mediterranean region, the entire Mediterranean coastal area will be completely annihilated, not only more than 10 super earthquakes, but also tsunamis, plate rupture, volcanic eruptions, and may even make the blue star enter a geologically active period.

Even in the very far away Eastern Tang and Pacific regions, there will be a large earthquake of magnitude 7~9, and the most fatal thing is that the dust tested at the moment of impact will make the small half of the blue star enter an effect similar to nuclear winter.

If you are not careful, you can trigger a supervolcano such as Yellowstone, and the consequence is that all mankind will receive a lunch box together.

Everyone was talking to each other.

Suddenly, Assistant Wang Tu whispered in his ear: "Wang Bureau, Johnson of the Outer Space Commission, Maxwell of NASA, Layton of the Western Space Agency, Chekov of the Hairy Bear Space Agency, Sinbad of the Tianzhu Space Agency, and ...... of the Sun Country Request a video call. ”

"Let them find a holographic computer, temporarily release the privileges of the holographic conference room, and let them have a meeting here." Wang Tu commanded with a headache.

"Okay."

……

NASA, Space Center Houston.

Maxwell looked at the satellite surveillance screen very helplessly, looking at the WX asteroid in front of him, he was a little desperate.

Although their supercomputer is much worse than Dongtang, they still simulated and calculated a rough result, and it was precisely because of this result that Maxwell and others were cold in their hands and feet.

Because their simulation results show that the impact area of the WX asteroid is the North Atlantic, such a terrible asteroid impact in the North Atlantic Ocean can instantly cause devastating consequences to the entire North Atlantic coastal area.

His assistant hurried over.

Maxwell couldn't wait to ask first, "What does the Space Development Committee say?"

His assistant took a breath and hurriedly replied: "He, he, they said let's find two holographic computers, and then enter this URL, they are going to have a holographic projection conference." ”

"Quickly went find two holographic computers." Maxwell commanded loudly.

After a while, they borrowed three Sydney holographic computers from a nearby company.

"Dr. Archimedes, the two of us are in this meeting." Maxwell couldn't care about cooking lard anymore, so he went straight to his own discretion.

"Okay." Dr. Archimedes nodded.

They all knew that it was time to race against time, and they couldn't care about anything else, so the two of them hurriedly entered the holographic conference room of the Space Development Committee with the help of several staff members.

The two of them had just entered the holographic conference room, and the two representatives of Xizhou, Layton and Rhine, were already inside.

Soon, in less than ten minutes, representatives of the world's most powerful space agencies were inside, and six representatives of the five hooligans also appeared in the conference room.

"Let's make a long story short, what is the solution for this WX asteroid now? Or an idea?" Wang Tu said to everyone directly.

Everyone looked at each other, and if they had a way, they wouldn't be meeting here.

"How about fried with mushrooms?" The official representative of the hairy bear proposed.

"Blown up? How to fry? This WX asteroid is now millions of kilometers away from us, and it is so fast that we can only keep tracking it through the Hubble telescope and surveillance satellites, but the delay is very large, and there is a communication delay of a few minutes back and forth. Maxwell immediately retorted.

"What else would you do? Now that it's a long way off, we can wait for the WX asteroid to get closer. The official representative of the hairy bear angrily retorted.

"You've all conducted some mushroom experiments before, so you should know that the power of mushroom eggs in outer space is very small, and once the first wave of mushroom eggs fails and we don't succeed in intercepting the WX asteroid, we really lose our last chance." Wang Tu said in a deep voice.

"That's right, the lack of power of mushroom eggs in outer space is a problem, and the other problem is that mushroom eggs will produce electromagnetic pulses in the explosion, which is very likely to cause our satellite to fail, once the interception fails, the satellite fails again, and we can only watch the WX asteroid hit the blue star." Maxwell chimed in.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, are you waiting here to die." After the official representative of Mao Xiong finished speaking with a gloomy face, he held his hands on his chest with a black face and said nothing.

The whole conference room was arguing, and everyone was racking their brains to find a way, but either the time was not enough, or the technical conditions were not met, or the effect was not obvious.
