Time was still passing quietly, and the fact that there was suddenly an extra star in the sky did not attract too many people's attention. But Zhao Huasheng is different. When that star suddenly appeared, gazing at the starry sky on the deck chair in the courtyard every night became a must-do for Zhao Huasheng.

The star continued to increase its brightness in Zhao Huasheng's eyes. Ten days had passed since the star first appeared, and during those ten days, its brightness had increased from fifth to fourth. This means that it is nearing the end of its assembly and is almost complete.

Generally speaking, if it is a comet, its tail will be visible to the naked eye when the brightness is raised to this level. However, the tail of a real comet is only bright when the material erupted from the core of the comet reflects the sun's rays, and of course this false comet created by humans does not have such ability, and it is impossible for it to extend a magnificent comet tail. So it can probably only be disguised as an asteroid, not a comet. The Comet Deterrence Program should also be renamed the Asteroid Deterrence Program.

When people change the orbit of Comet Arthur, they mainly rely on the force of the eruption of the comet's nuclear material to achieve their goal. And there is no such abundance of gaseous material on the asteroid, and there is no way for people to use this to change the orbit of the asteroid. And to claim that humans rely on high-thrust engines to change the orbit of asteroids is too false - because it is clear that human civilization does not have such a strong technical ability.

So how to reconcile the contradiction between the two is a very tricky matter. However, Zhao Huasheng was not worried about this, Zhao Huasheng knew that the head of state and those in the scientific research department would definitely be able to find a reasonable explanation.

After the false asteroid's brightness increased to the fourth level, its brightness basically stabilized, and instead of increasing rapidly, it began to slowly increase its brightness at a very slow speed. Zhao Huasheng knows that this process of slowly increasing brightness is actually simulating the natural movement of an asteroid and approaching the sun along its orbit.

This false asteroid needs to deceive not only plasma lifeforms, but also the vast majority of the human population on Earth. Even some scientists. The reason is simple, if too many people know that this asteroid is fake, then secrecy will be very difficult, and it is difficult to avoid these things being detected by plasma life forms by accident. To make sure nothing goes wrong. The only way to do this is to deceive most of the people on earth. So it has to be realistic, as realistic as possible. Not only that, but in order to prevent anyone from discovering that the asteroid did not increase its luminosity because it was close to the sun, but because of its own reasons, the human government also strictly banned many deep-space telescope observations during this period of time.

As long as those big guys don't use it passively. People will not be able to find the flaws in this asteroid, and most people will be deceived into the past. Because with a small telescope, you can't see its flaws.

Half a month after the appearance of this asteroid, Zhao Huasheng finally saw relevant reports about this asteroid from the TV media. In television reports, the asteroid received the name of Apat, and was called Apat's asteroid.

"The Ilspace Survey Telescope recently discovered a new asteroid, the asteroid number 2026TV1, officially known as Apate, and scientists have found that the asteroid is about 1.1 kilometer in diameter and has an irregular shape overall. With a total mass of about 1.7 billion tonnes, it has an extremely smooth surface with an extremely high albedo, and it is speculated that its surface may be composed of water ice......"

The message disappeared from the TV screen after only a dozen seconds. Aside from some basic data, the television station did not broadcast any other information about the asteroid. This news broadcast is also very ordinary, without any abnormal performance, just like an ordinary small news that will appear at any time and will not be taken seriously at all.

But Zhao Huasheng knew what that meant. If Zhao Huasheng is not mistaken, this news broadcast should be the first time it has entered people's field of vision, after this broadcast. There will be a second, a third, even the hundredth, a thousand reports. The frequency of announcements about this asteroid will slowly increase following a normal process. In the end, it is valued by all mankind. Again, the reason for choosing to do this is to be realistic. After all, it is very unreasonable for an asteroid that has just been discovered to be highly valued by human civilization.

Zhao Huasheng also knew that the human government probably wouldn't specifically convey relevant information about the asteroid to him. If you do that, the traces of artificiality will be too heavy. It is more logical to transmit relevant information to Zhao Huasheng through the way of constantly strengthening news broadcasting, and also to transmit it to plasma lifeforms. It is also less likely to arouse suspicion. At the same time, the human government will not worry about the possibility that Zhao Huasheng will not receive relevant news. Because under the extremely high-intensity information bombardment, as long as Zhao Huasheng is still watching TV, as long as Zhao Huasheng is still connected to the Internet, then Zhao Huasheng will definitely be able to receive the news.

The facts did not surprise Zhao Huasheng. The next day, there were more reports about the asteroid, and Zhao Huasheng saw on television that scientists had determined the asteroid's orbital parameters and concluded that it would pass by the Earth at an extremely close distance - this distance is 170,000 kilometers. After being affected by the Earth's gravitational disturbances, it will change its orbit and pass by the Sun at a distance extremely close to the Sun, when it is estimated that its perihelion will be less than one million kilometers......

The asteroid is slowly attracting attention. Especially after a scientist proposed that "we may use this asteroid as a weapon to deter the solar civilization, so as to threaten the solar civilization and not dare to retaliate against us", and it was reported by the TV station, the attention of this asteroid among people instantly rose to the highest.

TV stations have further increased the tracking of the planet, major obstructions, major astronomical telescopes have launched observations of the asteroid, more data about the asteroid has been excavated, people have even drawn a detailed three-dimensional map of the asteroid, detailed analysis of its material composition, star structure, formation age, origin and other information.

Of course, all of this information is false, and all of it is a play played by several of the highest-ranking scientists in the Ministry of Scientific Research and the Führer. This drama has deceived the vast majority of people in human society. Zhao Huasheng saw that discussions about the asteroid began to appear overwhelmingly on the Internet, and on the Voice of Humanity website, the discussion about the asteroid covered almost the entire discussion area.

So it is impossible for Zhao Huasheng not to come into contact with these things. And Zhao Huasheng came into contact with these things, which means that the plasma life form came into contact with these things. The plasma life form fell silent during this time, and communication with Zhao Huasheng began to decrease. So Zhao Huasheng knew that it had probably fallen into worry, and it was also anxiously waiting for the follow-up development of things.

This well-directed drama continues to develop. The Ministry of Scientific Research held a special meeting for this purpose, in which scientists rigorously discussed and demonstrated the possibility of changing the orbit of this asteroid, and demonstrated the possibility of using it as a deterrent to solar civilization in terms of logistical support, technical equipment, resource consumption, and impact consequences, and finally came to the conclusion that "we are fully capable of changing the orbit of this asteroid and then letting it hit the sun".

The meeting was broadcast live to every corner of the earth, including the TV that Zhao Huasheng was facing. Zhao Huasheng sat on the sofa and watched the live broadcast quietly, Zhao Huasheng knew that the plasma life form must have also watched the live broadcast in its entirety and heard the conclusions reached by the scientists during the meeting.

"First of all, the closest distance between it and Earth is only 170,000 kilometers, which is much less than the distance of 4 million kilometers from Comet Arthur, which means that we can consume fewer resources to get more supplies to it."

"Secondly, its original orbit is so close to the sun, which means that we only need to make very small orbital changes for it, and we can achieve our goal."

"Thirdly, the surface of the asteroid contains a large amount of water resources, and the surface is smooth and the geological structure is stable, which means that the engine we transport to it can obtain a large amount of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as energy through the process of ionizing water, and we do not need to transport too much energy to it; The electricity needed to ionize the water can be obtained by solar generators...... And because of its stable geological structure, the engine can work efficiently for a long time, pushing it to change its orbit...... So, our conclusion is that it's entirely possible to change its orbit and eventually make it hit the sun, and we can do that. ”

The scientist finished the sentence with a solemn expression, and then sat down. The venue erupted in long-lasting applause, and a voice gradually converged, and passed through the screen, to Zhao Huasheng, and also to the mind of the plasma lifeform: "Let those damn stellar people know that if you dare to take revenge on the earth, we dare to crash this thing into the sun!"
