Comet Arthur is a comet that grabs the sun, and the orbit of the comet has a characteristic that the perihelion is extremely close and the aphelion is extremely far. If its original orbit around the Sun were to follow, it would eventually pass just a million kilometers from the surface of the Sun. Its speeds will reach an astonishing 427 kilometers per second.

It is precisely this characteristic that has brought the possibility for human beings to change its orbit around the sun and change it from skimming the sun to hitting the sun. Because its original perihelion is very close to the Sun, humans don't need to change its orbit much, just a little. If its perihelion is far from the sun, there is nothing humans can do about it, even if they use all kinds of tricks.

But just a small change in trajectory has taken a huge toll on human civilization. Because the comet moves faster closer to the Sun, Comet Arthur is already moving at an astonishing rate. Thanks to the Lightbringer's launch from a space base, it was able to have enough speed to converge with Comet Arthur in space.

At the same time, the extremely high speed of progress and the extremely short time also mean that human civilization has only one chance. As long as this opportunity is missed, human civilization will no longer have the ability to change the forward trajectory of Comet Arthur.

The entire mission of the Lightbringer spacecraft was broadcast live, and any human could watch the event through a variety of media. Zhao Huasheng is no exception, even plasma lifeforms that do not belong to human civilization. It is also very concerned about this matter, but its state of mind when watching the live broadcast is completely different from that of human civilization. Any human wants the mission to be successful, and plasma lifeforms are hoping that the mission will ultimately fail.

Under the watchful eyes of all humans, the Lightbringer spacecraft finally crossed a long distance, reaching only a few tens of thousands of kilometers from Comet Arthur.

The Lightbringer does not need to slow down when it is close to Comet Arthur. Because Comet Arthur itself is moving at extremely high speeds, all the acceleration that the Lightbringer spacecraft did in the early stage was just to gain the same speed as Comet Arthur and then stay relatively stationary with it.

At this time, the Lightbringer II departed, and the Lightbringer spacecraft, which had arrived earlier, had already begun its work.

Through the camera equipment installed on the spacecraft, all humans on Earth saw Comet Arthur as it really was. It was a chaotic, pitch-black, cold, manic giant rock. There were countless tiny fragments surrounding the fifteen large fragments, moving and colliding in chaos. When the sunlight hits it, because of the imbalance of pressure, the gas hidden deep inside it will erupt and spray into space like a fountain, blasting a large amount of debris away from the body like an explosion, bringing more chaos and causing it to stretch out a huge comet tail.

The Lightbringer spacecraft was watching the comet coldly tens of thousands of kilometers away. Compared to the Comet Nucleus, the environment here is quite calm, and even the occasional rubble will not affect the ship too much. Because both of these are moving at high speeds, the relative velocity between them is not too fast. This level of impact is within the Lightbringer's tolerance range.

Compared to this massive comet, the Lightbringer spacecraft was as insignificant as an ant. But that changed later. Sunlight reflectors mounted with micro-engines are released from the ship's cabin and slowly unfold under the impetus of the engines. As a result, the little guy who is folded together and has a volume of only a few cubic meters at most has a surface area of one square kilometer when unfolded. They reflect sunlight perfectly in other directions, and without sunlight, parts of the comet's surface immediately stop erupting.

Not only that, but some of the sunlight reflectors are deliberately moved to the right position to reflect sunlight that would not otherwise be shining on the comet's nucleus. As a result, the fragments were completely deprived of sunlight on one side, and tripled, ten, or twenty times as much sunlight and heat on the other. As a result, the gas eruption here has also increased to more than ten times the original intensity, and contributed a more powerful impetus to the comet nucleus.

All of this is done with precise calculations. The mass, orbit, and ejection rate of these nuclei are all closely monitored, and all these changes are collected by scientists for calculation, and the reflection angle of the sunlight reflector can be adjusted at any time according to the change of the situation. Where solar radiation needs to be strengthened, where it needs to be weakened, everything is calculated.

This is the first phase of work. In this phase of the work, human civilization will try to separate the fifteen large pieces from each other, with roughly the same trajectory, but with slightly adjusted subtleties, in preparation for the next phase of work.

After seven days of working on the Lightbringer I spacecraft, the Lightbringer II spacecraft also arrived at Comet Arthur. Compared to the Lightbringer I, the Lightbringer II is larger and carries more supplies. At the end of the first phase of work, fifteen large pieces of debris had been separated, and the comet lander carried aboard the Lightbringer II spacecraft was released. They were loaded to different parts of the fifteen pieces of debris with large quantities of fuel, and then began working under the orders of ground operators.

In addition to the sunlight reflectors, these fragments have a second power to change their orbit. The high-yield engines spewed out long tails of flame under the combustion of their own fuel, and their heads were deeply embedded in the debris due to the tremendous pressure......

Their thrust is enormous, but it is still insignificant compared to the massive debris with a mass of hundreds of millions of tons. Scientists have calculated that the combined thrust of all engines is roughly equivalent to the thrust of an ant on an adult human's body compared to the nucleus of a comet. But that's enough. First of all, this is the space environment, which is not the same as the terrestrial environment, and there is no air resistance or anything like that. Secondly, the role of these engines is only to fine-tune the orbit and precisely calibrate it, and the main task is carried out by the solar reflector.

The sunlight, the gas injection inside the comet's nucleus, and the precise fine-tuning of the engine all contribute to the force that changes the comet's forward trajectory. The mission will last for two months, and in two months' time, Comet Arthur will be just 15 million kilometers from the Sun, when all human creation will be destroyed by the Sun's might. Comet Arthur will embark on a journey to hit the sun alone.

Of course, before this moment, the fifteen pieces of Comet Arthur will have their own independent forward trajectories, and they will hit different parts of the Sun separately as expected, and then shatter the reverse fusion layer and return the Sun to its original appearance.

The comet impact program has progressed smoothly so far. This is not just a slogan, it is true, as evidenced by the precise information obtained from the Ministry of Scientific Research. But the more smoothly the comet impact plan progresses, the heavier Zhao Huasheng and the plasma lifeforms become. As for whether the reasons for the heavy mood of the two are the same, it is unknown.

Two Lightbringer ships are still working next to Comet Arthur. Tens of thousands of scientists are still doing a lot of calculations and maneuvers on the ground control base. It was at this time that another feast descended upon the earth.

It was a meteor shower, so large and so magnificent that it was impossible to describe it in words.

These meteor showers come from Comet Arthur. The closest distance between Comet Arthur and the Earth is only 9 million kilometers, and although there is no possibility of collision between the two, the tail of Comet Arthur will stretch for more than 100 million kilometers because of the presence of the sun. The Earth's orbit passes through the tail of Comet Arthur.

The tail of the comet is made up of a large amount of interstellar dust and comet fragments. As the Earth passes through the tail of the comet, the debris will swarm into the Earth due to the gravitational pull of the Earth, and then die out in friction with the Earth's atmosphere.

Tonight is a great time to watch the meteor shower, with clear skies, no moon, and not much light interference. Zhao Huasheng left home at this time and came to the small park near his home again.

The park is already crowded with people who are excited to watch the meteor shower. Zhao Huasheng didn't want to have too much contact with the crowd, so he came to a corner, sat on the ground against a bare tree with no branches and leaves, raised his head and looked at the sky quietly.

The night was quiet, no noise, no disturbances. Zhao Huasheng was accompanied only by the faint night breeze, the magnificent starry sky, and the occasional chirping of insects around him.

Zhao Huasheng's mind is very ethereal and distant. Under this silent night, Zhao Huasheng thought of many things, thought of Li Wei, thought of Li Qi, Wang Tang, the head of state, and thought of Frank, and thought of many, many people.

At this time, a soft female voice broke the silence: "Oh, what a coincidence, you are here too?" ”

Zhao Huasheng turned his head and saw Wang You walking to his side. She smiled softly, and then asked, "Are you also here to see the meteor shower?" ”

Zhao Huasheng nodded, and Wang You said: "Then let's go together, there are too many people over there, it's too noisy, I don't like it." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Huasheng to refuse, Wang You came to Zhao Huasheng's side, and like Zhao Huasheng, sat on the ground with his back against the small tree.
