Chapter 821: It's a big deal

“…… Are the results out? ”

The commander-in-chief of the asteroid capture program, that is, the director of NASA, Walker, said that he is worried about a group now.

"Precise results yet, Director."

Victor, the deputy director of technology, walked into Valker's office with a stack of analytical data and a tablet and said, "However, there is a general result. ”

Hearing the result, Valker was immediately shocked, "What's going on?" Where is the reason? Is it being attacked or is it our own problem? ”

"The preliminary judgment is our own problem."

Victor put the information in front of Director Valker with a serious expression and said, "The problem should be the accurate data of parts and asteroids, and we are careless." ”

"Is it really us?" Valker flipped through the information with a complicated expression.

"Yes, Director, we have already analyzed it on the side of the Technical Bureau, and now the biggest possibility is that we used parts from the previous generation of "Hercules" intelligent thrusters, and then caused them to be incompatible with the new system, and then there was a problem. ”

Victor said, looking at his tablet.

Valker flipped through the information, and his face became darker and darker, "Didn't all the original inspection reports pass?" Why is this happening, and why are there so many problems now? ”

"Director, the original test results are fine, and the current results are no problem, because they both involve one variable, and that is the "hammer" asteroid. ”

As he spoke, Victor swiped a few times on his tablet, flipped to the asteroid page of their original mission analysis, and found information about the "Hammer" for Valker to see.

"How so? Is the information given by Arc Aerospace inaccurate, so we can put the blame on them this time? ”

The thought instantly made Victor's eyes glow.

"What do you think, Mr. Director," said Victor, with a black line on his head, "it's still our problem, and there's no way to shirk it. ”

"We were in too much of a hurry and didn't study the Hammer asteroid thoroughly enough, which led to a deviation in our estimated weight, which was much heavier than we thought. ”

Moreover, there are also problems with the landing point of this new batch of "Hercules" intelligent propulsion devices, and we also have errors in the calculation of the composition of the "Iron Hammer" asteroid, resulting in problems with the output points of the fixed intelligent propulsion devices. ”

"Moreover, not only in order to complete the mission as soon as possible, perhaps because of the successful asteroid capture case the first time, we are a little arrogant and too confident in our own technology."

Hearing about Victor's criticism and self-criticism, Valk was unusually troubled.

"And what about its new orbit, has it been calculated?"

"The calculation is complete, the target will be closer to the Earth when it passes by, and the chance of hitting the Earth is very high, and the speed is faster."

Victor's mood is very complicated, because he is responsible for this matter, although he is not the highest decision-maker, but he is responsible for the actual technical problems.

Now that something like this has happened, it has a very big impact on himself.

"And what about the rest of the thrusters? Is the thrust enough? Valk finally asked.

Victor shook his head regretfully, "No, Director, the rest of the thrusters are not strong enough, and they are not in a good position, so they are pushing ...... It can only be pushed to the earth, so that the "hammer" can rush to the earth more accurately, but there is no need to think about slowing down. ”

Grabbing his own hair in the first place, Valker sighed, "Alas, it can only be like this, in fact, the most important thing now is not to analyze the cause of the problem, but how to solve the problem." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the time, then beckoned to Victor, "Take these materials with you, let's go to the meeting, it's almost time." ”

"Okay Director."

Victor picked up the materials and followed Valk out of his office, then towards the conference room.

The content of the meeting was quite exciting, and it should be said that the faces of those who attended the meeting were very exciting.

Thanks to this, the asteroid is transferred from more than three times the distance of the earth and the moon to the earth, and the time will be relatively long, and the distance is too far, those lovers of the earth can't see it clearly, so they don't know that the second asteroid transfer operation of the United States has stopped.

But it won't be hidden for long.

Because the "cow" of the rice country has been blown to the sky in advance.

I was thinking about letting the cow fly for a while, but the line broke.

After a while, it will be time for the original plan to announce the phased results, but now that it is like this, it is basically closed.

And if it is not handled well, there are more serious consequences waiting for them.

“…… Go straight to the nuclear bomb, only the nuclear bomb can solve everything! If one doesn't work, then two! ”

"To put it simply, if it is blown up, there is too much uncertainty, this is a metal asteroid, it has little wear and tear in the atmosphere, and if it is divided into several large pieces and hits the earth respectively, it may be even more destructive than before."

"There's no problem with this, after separation, the power of the monomer will be much smaller, as long as it doesn't fall on the land of our country, it's fine, we can also take this opportunity to ......"

"All said, there's a lot of uncertainty, we still don't even have a route and can't be sure how many pieces it will split into, and we can't be sure where they're going to crash! The odds of crashing into our country are also not small. ”

"So what to do, just watch it crash into the Earth?"

"Is it too late to make some more thrusters and put them back on?"

"No, it's too long to make, and the hammer will have three more days to ...... Smashed. ”

"Is it okay to send astronauts to drill holes to load nuclear bombs, and if you calculate it, you should be able to determine the size and dispersal area of the scattered debris, right? There are astronauts and engineers on the space station, and the equipment for the first asteroid has also been shipped, as long as the nuclear bomb is brought up. ”

"It takes time to calculate the data and simulate the explosion results, and we are not particularly precise about the material composition of the "Hammer" asteroid, which needs to be studied at close range, and even need to land, and we do not have that time. ”

"It's not going to work, that's not going to work, how the hell is it going to work? God, we're in the midst of a big crisis of an asteroid hitting the Earth, can we have a workable plan! ”

"If it doesn't work, maybe we can ask Arc Space for help......"

Well, this has to be said to be a good plan to kill multiple birds with one stone, but who is going to say it, that's the question.

And time also allows them to ink, because there are already the latest developments on the outside network.

"It's a big deal!! An asteroid is about to hit Earth!! ”
