Chapter 426: Falling
May 15th.
Various countries in the southern hemisphere are very nervous, because according to the prediction announcements of space agencies of various countries, the three relatively large wreckage of the International Space Station is very likely to fall into the atmosphere between May 15 ~ 16.
The area of the fall is roughly between the Tropic of Capricorn and the equator.
It is clear that the countries of the region are suddenly on the verge of a major enemy, with the Samba countries of South America, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and even Chile and Argentina on alert.
Those small island countries in the Pacific can only pray to God and Buddha, praying that the wreckage will not hit them, and as for the idea of defense, as for their crooked melons and cracked dates, they may not even have artillery, and there is no way to defend them.
Australia, PNG, and Nicaea are also urgently preparing for the defense situation.
As for the Black Continent side, they, like the small island nations in the Pacific, can only resign themselves to fate.
……
The Australian Space Agency, at this time they are equivalent to an affiliate of the Space Development Commission.
Inside the space monitoring hall at this time.
"How's it going?" Australian Space Administrator White?? Born asked, a little nervous.
"Mr. White, rest assured that we have closely monitored the three wrecks and will take immediate action if it is determined to be within our borders." Wang Mingzhu on the side said calmly.
"Ms. Wang, is there really no problem?" White was still a little uneasy.
"You have to believe in the strength of the Development Committee." Wang Mingzhu made White a cup of tea.
White could only bite the bullet and sit on the couch, but he still looked at the hologram from time to time.
Time flies like a white horse, after White drank two cups of tea.
An alarm began to sound in the hall, and three pieces of wreckage arrived as scheduled and began to rush into the Carmen line.
At this time, the time is frozen at 16:37 on May 15, 2020.
White stood up nervously and stared at the holostar map, where three pieces of debris were red flashing icons.
"The wreckage of One entered the atmosphere and is expected to crash in the waters off Fiji."
"The second wreckage entered the atmosphere and is expected to crash in the waters near the Solomon Islands."
"Report, the wreckage of No. 3 entered the atmosphere and is expected to crash in the territory of Nicaea."
Hearing that none of them were in Australia, White immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then he hurriedly ordered: "Continue to monitor closely." ”
As long as the wreckage does not fall to the ground or the ocean for a second, it cannot be taken lightly, and the possibility of deviating from the intended position still exists.
However, the supercomputing center of the Space Development Committee is a super-large computer of 1 million trillion times per second, and the core algorithm is an artificial intelligence transformed from Zhong's copying, and the artificial intelligence of the Space Development Committee is called "Fuxi".
With such a powerful supercomputer and artificial intelligence, the possibility of mistakes is very small.
As the minutes ticked by, the wreckage crashed 17 kilometers northwest of Fiji Island at 17:11.
During the fall, although there are a few debris scattered in all directions, the probability of hitting these small islands in the vast sea is relatively small, and the probability of hitting people is even smaller.
However, the people in the space monitoring center did not relax, because the wreckage of No. 2 and No. 3 is the closest to Australia or PNG.
The supercomputing center kept correcting the crash site, stationed in the local security base, and also pulled out the Xiongfeng rocket to stand by, as long as there is a slight possibility of falling in PNG or Australia, it will immediately launch a rocket to destroy the wreckage.
At 17:24, the second wreck fell in the waters off the Ronkador Reef in the Solomon Islands, causing no casualties.
"It has been reported that the wreckage of No. 3 has crossed the sky over PNG, and the predicted area of the fall is near the island of Little Cay or the island of Big Cay in Nicaea."
"Continue to monitor closely." White was almost relieved, and by this time the location of the fall had been roughly determined.
"Report, Nicaea launched rocket to intercept the wreckage of No. 3."
White looked at the star map, just west of the island of New Guinea, and a rocket took off into the sky and swooped down on the wreckage of No. 3.
Soon the two met in the northern waters of the Arafura Sea.
"The interception failed, and the mass of the wreckage of No. 3 was reduced by about 30%, and it is expected to fall on the Aru Islands ahead of schedule."
"Aru Islands?" White frowned and pulled the big star map, and soon saw the Aru Islands clearly.
"Self-proclaimed clever fool." Wang Mingzhu scoffed.
White was also amused by Nicaea's recklessness, the former Little or Big Cay was relatively open, while the Aru Islands were almost glued together, about 10 times the size of Little or Big Cay.
A larger area means that the fall area is more likely to be on land.
And they also lost the second chance to intercept, at first they thought this guy was gold, but they didn't expect it to be a straw bale bronze.
At 17:32, the half-crippled wreck No. 3 fell in Kudne, Aru Islands, and directly into the residential area.
This sudden and uninvited guest immediately caused serious damage to the local area, and the sound of explosions and cries filled the smoke billowing out.
Relying on the powerful Nandou satellite system, White and Wang Mingzhu could even clearly see that the people in the city of Kudne in the Aru Islands were running for their lives in a panic, and the explosion caused by the wreckage of No. 3 brought a raging fire, and the scene was chaotic.
"Mr. White, let's talk about the astronauts going to the space station in June!" Wang Mingzhu has no interest in appreciating this kind of disaster movie.
"Uh......" White reacted immediately, and he also followed Wang Mingzhu out of the aerospace monitoring center.
"Ms. Wang, our young men from the Australian Space Agency are very good, and there is no problem in getting on the space station."
"Don't talk too much, they can't go to outer space, just know when they get to the training base of the Kaohsiung Space Center." Wang Mingzhu replied as he walked.
"Hehe......" White laughed awkwardly.
In order to avoid talking to death, Wang Mingzhu continued: "The number of places you will go to the new Kaohsiung space station next month is two, so the astronauts sent for training are twenty. ”
"90% elimination rate." White paused: "Wouldn't it be too high?" ”
"It's not high, unless you are sent back, there will always be a chance to go to space." Wang Mingzhu knows some internal situations in his heart.
If an astronaut is repatriated, there are generally only two reasons, the first is that his body does not allow it, and he is not suitable to be an astronaut.
The second thought review is not passed, such people generally have antisocial personalities, violent tendencies, hatred of the Galactic Foundation, etc., this review is carried out in secret, so that the astronaut reserve will not be aware that he is being read brain.
It can be said that the application of the brain reader has turned the Galaxy Consortium and the Eastern Tang Dynasty into a real impregnable wall, which is also the reason why the penetration of foreign forces has failed miserably in the past few years.
Many people involved in secrets have been screened a lot, and it is difficult to leak secrets.
Those infiltrators of crooked nuts were immediately discovered as soon as they entered the Galaxy Consortium, except for some chess pieces who deliberately stayed to fish, the others generally didn't stay for a week to get lunch boxes.
The Galaxy Consortium and Dongtang are called hell-level copies by intelligence workers all over the world, and if you don't have the determination to get a lunch box, don't go to brush up on the copy, otherwise you will really die.
……
The fall of the wreckage of the International Space Station on May 15 caused 341 deaths, 53 missing and thousands injured.
Apparently, the Nicaea authorities were very troubled by this, and hurriedly appealed to the International Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space and the International Court of Justice, demanding that the participants of the International Space Station compensate the victims for the damage and take responsibility for this incident.
However, the big hooligan is still the big hooligan, even if it is the rice grain family that has shed its hair, it is not an existence that Nicaea can handle.
As for the poor jingle bear, not to mention, there is no need to kill if you ask for money, you can come and get it if you have the ability.
As for other countries, they will not pay this money anyway, and if they want to blame, they will blame Nicaea himself for being unlucky.
