Chapter 49: Global Focus
Many years later, historians judged whether the nations of the planet were strong or not: whether you had the opportunity to sit on the couch with your family and watch the second phase of the contact program.
Before the announcement of the existence of the alien fleet, there were 195 countries in the world, and when the economic turmoil caused by the alien fleet swept the world, only 172 countries remained in the world.
In this short period of time, global changes have been far more drastic than they seem.
Some countries that rely on the export of luxury goods or raw materials as the main source of national income have to face the reality of collapse, because the prices of luxury goods and raw materials are far from being able to keep up with food imports.
Luxury goods can't buy the aliens to let themselves go, and the hoarding of mineral raw materials is only for the aliens to make material reserves.
Weak countries are already full of refugees who need to find food and shelter, and medium-sized countries are in a state of tension, struggling to cope with economic turmoil and barely surviving in the face of high food prices.
And the powerful countries, their people are not in the slightest aware of the coming crisis, except for a little turmoil in the industry, they are still drunk as usual, and in their world, the so-called extraterrestrial threat is still far away.
At the Mars Astronomical Observatory, a series of staff members are ready, and Lebert sits in the general control position, grasping the overall situation.
When the scheduled time arrives, the second phase of the contact program begins, and the images of the quantum faster-than-light communication detector are presented on the world's optical and video images spanning more than half a light-year.
The vast sea of stars, an empty void, there is no beautiful aqua blue planet like the earth, there are no bright stars, only the colorful background color printed on the dark background of the universe for various strange reasons.
The comet belonging to the Oort Nebula dragged its long tail across the starry sky, collided and annihilated in a nebula densely packed with comet nuclei, and formed a new comet.
A few of these lucky comets may have been successfully thrown out of Oort Lucky, and they will travel to the solar system and enjoy a long or short trip as a reward for breaking through the encirclement.
"Start the intelligent system to assist in positioning and generate a three-dimensional coordinate map!" Lebert ordered.
On the projection of the main control room, a three-dimensional coordinate map is generated, marking the relative position of the quantum faster-than-light communication probe and the alien fleet.
The intelligent system turns on the auxiliary calculation to generate a waterway that can intersect between the two.
"Report the coordinates in the XYZ direction, the fumarole operator is in place, ready to start the direction adjustment, pay attention, there is only one chance, this will determine the course of human history, and failure must not be allowed!" Lebert gave the first order.
"Operator 1 is in place."
"Operator 2 is in place."
……
"The intelligent navigation is online, and the predetermined channel has been marked."
Lebert sat in the master control and checked the data one by one, and he had to be careful in every way, and he was not the only one who worked hard to get to the plan.
There is no reason for him to fail, the energy on the quantum faster-than-light communication detector can only withstand one attempt, absolutely no second attempt!
"So let's get started, aligning the plane coordinates."
"Jet hole No. 1 has been opened, and the output is 100%."
"As soon as the No. 3 fumale is opened, the output is 50%."
Lebert stared at the model data on the big screen, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
"The tail power of the detector is too small, increase the output to prevent rotation!" Lebert gave the second order.
"60% of the output of the No. 3 fumale!"
"Report, the detector structure is unstable, the metal fatigue has risen sharply, and it is still 20% from the critical point!"
"The No. 1 fumale has an output of 80%."
"The No. 3 bore output is 48%."
"Report, the structure is stable, and slight cracks have been generated."
"According to the report, the current steering speed is 1.19°/s, and the speed continues to increase."
"Reduce the output force, open the No. 2 and No. 4 fumaroles after 10s, and correct the plane coordinates!" Lebert gave the third order.
"The system warns that the steering speed is too fast, and there is a risk of exceeding the expected course!"
"30% of the output of the No. 1 fumarole."
"The No. 3 fumale has a ten-percent output."
"Very good, continue to lower, No. 2 and No. 4 fumaroles will be opened in advance, and the plane orientation will be corrected!" Lebert gave the fourth order.
"Jet hole No. 2 opens, output power 100%!"
"Jet hole No. 4 opens, output 60%!"
"Report, the detector energy reserve is 64%."
"It is reported that the pressure of the detector has risen violently, and the critical point has been broken, and the structural pressure has fallen slowly, and there is a possibility of collapse."
A layer of fine sweat broke out of Lebert's palms, hold on, you must hold on, the need for high-speed direction change was not considered when the detector was designed, and the material of the detector is no better than that of a spacecraft.
"Report, the detector structure is unstable, and the pressure is too high and slightly deformed!"
"No. 2 and No. 4 request to lower the output!"
"No lowering of output is allowed!" Lebert gave the fifth order.
"Jet 1, 3 closed!"
"It was reported that metal fatigue had dropped to a critical point, the detector had been severely damaged, and the No. 1 and No. 3 fumaroles were scrapped."
"The current steering speed is 2.13°/s, and the speed continues to decrease."
"It was reported that the surface of the body around the No. 2 and No. 4 fumaroles was concave, the energy pipeline was damaged, there was a trace of fuel leakage, and the damage was expanding."
"No. 2 and No. 4 request to immediately reduce the output intensity!"
"Keep the current output and go down after 5s." This was the sixth order given by Lebert.
After 5s......
"50% output of the No. 2 fumarole."
"30% of the output of the No. 4 fumarole."
"It was reported that the metal fatigue was too high and the detector structure was severely damaged."
"Fumaroles 2 and 4 have failed, and the probe is about to reach the predetermined azimuth."
"The system alerts that the speed of the detector is too fast in the direction of the side and is about to exceed the intended channel."
"Open the No. 6 spare air hole and the output is 100%!" Lebert gave the seventh order.
"Spare air hole No. 6 is open, and the output is 100%."
"The probe has reached its intended orbit."
"The lateral thrust is zeroed out, and the No. 6 fumale is closed."
"The remaining 36% of the energy stock."
All the staff in the main control room felt a light on their shoulders, and they completed a speedy drift in the universe!
This is an extreme drift destined to go down in history, in comparison, what racing cars, any fighter planes are low to the point of exploding!
"Everyone, let's complete the final step, welcome the success, and start the Z-axis correction immediately!" Lebert gave the eighth order.
"The channel has been re-calculated, and the three-dimensional space orientation correction is ready to begin."
"The No. 7 fumale is open, and the output is 30%."
"The No. 8 fumale is open, and the output is 10%."
"It is approaching the intended shipping channel, the structure is stable, there is a fuel leak inside, and the corresponding energy pipeline has been closed."
"The intelligent calculation results are expected to coincide with the scheduled channel in 10s."
The countdown starts on the screen for 10s...... 9s…… 8s……
"The No. 7 and No. 8 fumaroles are closed, and the No. 9 and No. 10 fumaroles are thrust back with full force." Lebert gave the eighth order.
"The No. 9 fumale is open, and the output is 100%."
"The No. 10 fumale is open, and the output is 33%."
4s…… 3s…… 2s…… 1s……
"Fumaroles 9 and 10 are closed."
"The predetermined orbit has been reached, the lateral retreat force is zeroed, the deviation from the expected direction is 0.00036°, and the remaining energy reserve is 4%."
"Mission accomplished!"
The general control room fell into the silence before the outbreak, and everyone was very excited.
At this moment, they will be in the global spotlight together with the quantum faster-than-light communication detector.
"Everyone, cheer to heart's content, the second phase of the contact project is complete, let's uncover the true face of the alien fleet!" Lebert stood up, picking up a bottle of champagne that Owen had left for him and tossing it to the staff below.
"Hehe, commander-in-chief, you said that if we had installed an intelligent system on the detector, we wouldn't have to operate it so troublesomely, right?!"
Lebert smiled slightly, this is a cheap and good seller, but he did not condemn this greedy joke, but smiled and said: "You should be glad that the probe at least left you with a jet device and a lot of fuel!"
"Hahaha!"
In a sea of celebration in the control room, they sprayed champagne into the air and spilled it on everyone.
