Chapter Eighty-Three: Taking a Risk

Liu Xuan saw all this, and directly obtained the control of the No. 3 thruster, and then started the nuclear power thruster and chased after the No. 3 asteroid, each thruster was filled with an excessive amount of nuclear fuel, and it was okay to consume some, Liu Xuan just wanted to use these excess fuel to catch the No. 3 asteroid back!

The positions of the thruster No. 3 and asteroid No. 3 were located on the video, and the analyzer also analyzed the video and marked the positions of both on the plan.

Liu Xuan relied on these two diagrams, and then manually controlled the thruster to arrest, and soon, the thruster caught up with the departing asteroid No. 3, just when Liu Xuan wanted to pull to the right path, the supercomputer alarm sounded.

Liu Xuan glanced at it, and his face changed, because according to the results of supercomputer calculations, if Liu Xuan forcibly towed the No. 3 asteroid, not to mention whether the nuclear fuel was enough, or according to the speed of traction, it would collide with the No. 4 asteroid that was already in place, if this was the case, he would not only lose the No. 3 asteroid, but also the No. 4 asteroid.

What's even more coincidental is that if the position of asteroid No. 3 is not changed, and if it continues to develop in this way, it may also pass by asteroid No. 5, and at that time, the entire plan will completely collapse.

Liu Xuan also has no better way at this time, so he can only make a decision immediately, change the traction to push, and push the No. 3 asteroid farther away, after all, there is no way to do it, everyone knows that if he doesn't do this, this plan will completely fail, Liu Xuan has no time to discuss with everyone, and he just makes a decision immediately.

The No. 3 thruster exerted force violently, directly pushing the No. 3 asteroid farther away, which first ensured the safety of the No. 5 asteroid that was already in place.

Liu Xuan did not let go directly after this step, but retracted the grip of the No. 3 thruster, turned the direction, and flew towards an asteroid that was not marked on the video, which can be regarded as the only remedy.

At this time, the No. 3 thruster has consumed a lot of nuclear fuel, and there is no more fuel to fly back to its position, even if it returns to its own position, it will not be used at all without the asteroid capture.

This is the only remedy that Liu Xuan can think of now, that is, grab an asteroid nearby and drag it to the forward orbit of Starfall, regardless of whether the volume and mass of this asteroid meet the requirements, for now, it is better to have one more asteroid than one less.

Liu Xuan's approach was also noticed by everyone for the first time, and they also nodded, and they also understood that this was the only way, but they also understood the difficulty of this approach, which was far more difficult than a person with poor eyesight to catch the moving animal in front of him, because Liu Xuan could only rely on the control system to control, and the most important thing was that because there was still a large distance between the earth and the asteroid belt, even the operation command of the electromagnetic wave had a delay of a few seconds, which further increased the difficulty of Liu Xuan's control.

Liu Xuan was standing in front of the console at this time, sweat was already appearing on his forehead, and his hands were trembling slightly because he was too nervous. This kind of tremor is reflected on the controller, which can actually be completely corrected, but this performance also shows Liu Xuan's nervousness.

Everyone looked at the video sent by the Mars probe, Liu Xuan's No. 3 thruster was still dark red, so it was very obvious, but the asteroid that Liu Xuan wanted to catch was only a blurry image, and even the size was not clear, Liu Xuan could only rely on his own feelings.

What was supposed to be completed in three hours had already dragged on for five hours, and Starfall was less than an hour away. In other words, Starfall is about to enter the asteroid belt and start hitting Asteroid 5.

Liu Xuan's hands trembled even more, there was no one to help him at this time, all this could only be done on his own, and finally, on the image, the No. 3 thruster and the asteroid selected by Liu Xuan approached. In fact, they all know that the distance on the image is far greater than the actual distance, after all, there is a time loss in the middle, even if it is only a few seconds, according to the speed of the two, it is very likely to collide directly together, and there is also a possibility that Liu Xuan did not capture the asteroid, and the two swept over, no matter what happens, the final result is likely to be failure.

Finally, Liu Xuan trembled and pressed the button to release the gripper, and everyone even held their breath, staring only at the video sent by the detector. After a minute like this, everyone felt Liu Xuan's sigh of relief, and they also saw it, in the video, the two seemed to be connected together and started the same movement. They knew that Liu Xuan's arrest was a success, but this was only the first step of success.

Liu Xuan began to pull the asteroid to move according to his idea, and Liu Xuan's idea was to directly move this asteroid outside the No. 5 asteroid, so that the first asteroid to be hit by a starfall would be this new asteroid.

However, Liu Xuan's eyes dizzled after taking a look at the prediction of nuclear fuel, the total amount of nuclear fuel displayed on it is not much, at least it cannot guarantee that the asteroid will be stationary smoothly in the forward orbit of the starfall.

Liu Xuan's eyes changed rapidly, he was thinking, thinking about how to save nuclear fuel, everyone was also embarrassed at this time, they all knew that if they wanted to achieve their intended goals, they couldn't save nuclear fuel at all.

But at this time, Liu Xuan had already started to act, and he thought of a method, but this method was too dangerous, and if he was not careful, he might lose this asteroid completely. But he also knew that at this time, he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

I saw that Liu Xuan actually reduced the power of the thruster, which must reduce the use of nuclear fuel, but the power generated could not stop the rotation of the asteroid, but could only slow down the asteroid's rotation.

At this time, the other researchers also saw what Liu Xuan wanted to do, this was indeed a very crazy move, if one was not good, the whole plan would be a complete failure, and no one could afford the responsibility at that time. But now I have to say that this is the only way at the moment.

Liu Xuan didn't have time to think about it, he just tried to control the thrusters to slow down the speed of the asteroid and slow it down when it approached the orbit of the starfall.
