Chapter 10: Meteorite Rain Falls
At a time when the whole country was silent, the space flight control center in Tangjialing, a northwestern suburb of Beijing, was in full swing, and it was originally a command center responsible for the command and dispatch, flight control, analysis and calculation, data processing, and confidence exchange of the tasks of the national manned space project, but at this time it was the national general headquarters for the defense against asteroid impacts.
At this time, all the monitoring information of the country's outer space is gathered here, and then the orbit of the meteorite that is most dangerous to the country is calculated, and then the information is transmitted here to the ballistic ballistic launch base, which is intercepted by the Second Artillery Corps.
"Chief Engineer Jiang, the last detection of all meteorites has been summarized, and the calculation results are the same as the last time. The orbit of the large meteorite, marked X4231, was calculated, and it entered the atmosphere at an angle of 32 degrees from the northeast at a degree of 18 kilometers per second, and the impact site was 437 kilometers north of Lake Baikal, and the impact was expected to be equivalent to the power of an explosion of 120 million tons**. A young researcher reported to Chief Engineer Jiang.
"Continue to track and monitor, and if it changes the rules, report it as soon as possible." Chief Engineer Jiang nodded and said.
Chief Engineer Jiang rubbed his eyebrows, cheered up and continued to work, he only rested for 6 hours in three days. Although he was still young, less than 5o years old, he was the oldest group of people in this command hall. Compared with those young people in their twenties and thirties, his energy is obviously insufficient.
Don't look at him, he doesn't need to calculate the specific meteorite orbit, but he has to coordinate the overall situation, and he also has to report upwards, so he expends no less energy than those young people.
"Ring, ring, ring, ring......" At this time, the red phone on Chief Engineer Jiang's desk rang, and he hurriedly picked up the phone: "Hey...... Okay, I'll come right over. Xiao Liu, if you have any questions, call the command room immediately, and I'll go out now. β
After a while, Chief Engineer Jiang came to command a room guarded by a doorman upstairs in the hall, and after showing the certificate, he pushed the door in.
Several of the faces in the room that could be seen on the news were in the room, along with a few old generals. If you look closely, you will see that all the eyes of these people in this room are bloodshot, and the tiredness in their eyes cannot be concealed.
"Xiao Jiang, how about the shape we are facing now, how many meteorites have fallen into our territory have been counted, and have the meteorite orbit technology that threatened us and needed to be intercepted come out?" Captain One asked.
"It has been calculated that there are more than 34,000 meteorites that have landed on our land, in fact, more than 28,000 meteorites will burn up in the atmosphere, and the remaining more than 6,000 meteorites will successfully pass through the atmosphere.
And these more than 6,000 meteorites may decompose into tens of thousands of small meteorites to impact the ground, of which 62 meteorites need to be intercepted, and the location of the interception is outside the atmosphere, and the orbit has been calculated.
However, there is another meteorite called X4231, which has a diameter of 43 meters and the site of impact is 437 kilometers north of Lake Baikal in southern Russia. Although the meteorite is not on our soil, if Russia intercepts it, it may change its orbit, and most likely it will be shattered, and large fragments will pass through the atmosphere.
As for the final location, it is impossible to judge now. After Chief Engineer Jiang finished speaking, he gave the information in his hand to everyone in turn.
After half a ring, Captain No. 1 raised his head after reading the information, looked at everyone and said: "I will communicate with the Russian side, there are still three hours before the meteorite approaches the interception site, and in these three hours, Xiao Jiang, you have to cooperate with several people, and you must intercept those meteorites that threaten our country with one blow."
If you make the slightest mistake, it could cause thousands of casualties, which is not allowed, and I know it's difficult. However, there are no difficulties to be taken, and there are difficulties to overcome difficulties, and it is imperative to ensure that the interception is successful. β
"Guaranteed to get the job done." Several veteran generals and Chief Engineer Jiang replied at the same time.
"Okay, I authorize the main engine of the space flight control center to access the Second Artillery Network, and the two sides exchange signals in real time. All missile bases of the Second Artillery Corps were put into a state of pre-firing readiness for final inspection. β
At 3:10 p.m., in the Taihang Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Daxinganling and many other mountain ranges, a burst of alarms sounded. Missile silos suddenly appeared in the depths of the mountains, and many secret bases that only existed in paper archives began to be revealed.
"Little bunnies, cheer me up, calculate the ballistic trajectory again, and simulate an interception. What you are about to attack is not a special meteorite, but a nuclear warhead, which hits the ground and generates an explosion that is no less powerful than a nuclear bomb, and also carries radiation, so don't block it from being intercepted by meteorites.
Didn't you often say that you didn't meet talented people in the past, and all the top students with doctorates and master's degrees may not have a chance to make a move in your life in this ravine and ravine after graduation, and they even bragged that the 18 sub-warheads of the ICBMs in the United States can be intercepted.
Now I don't want you to intercept eighteen warheads, you only need to intercept one warhead, if you can't even stop this, you will roll me up and leave, and there will be no nerds here who can only brag b. β
In the command hall of a secret base, a general wearing a military uniform but with a head like a bird's nest yelled at the crowd on the operation platform. Because smoking is not allowed here, the butt of the cigarette in his mouth is about to be bitten by him.
A group of young people, regardless of their superior's scolding, stared at the screen with their heads down and gritted their teeth, their hands flying on the keyboard, and a crackling sound echoed throughout the hall. In the main engine room next to the command room, several air conditioners have been turned on to the maximum, but the temperature in the computer room is still rising.
As time passed little by little, even if the air conditioner was turned on in the command room, the sweat on everyone's faces still bubbled out unconsciously.
At 4:30 a.m., all missile fuel was filled and the personnel in the silo were evacuated.
At 5:20 a.m., all missile launch codes were lifted, and the missile launch was ready for firing, and the countdown was 15 minutes before the launch began.
At 5:45, dozens of ICBMs loaded with nuclear warheads were launched.
At this time, the whole country watched this scene live on TongguΓ² TV, and several leaders also appeared in the hall of the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center, and the flight trajectory of the threatening meteorite orbit and ballistic trajectory was displayed on the big screen, and the dotted line in the middle was the distance between the two sides.
As the dotted line gets shorter, the number of digits in the center decreases until it becomes zero. Everyone across the country was silent, waiting for the results of the interception.
"Immediately observe the meteorite, the number of technical meteorites and the trajectory of the fall, fast." Chief Engineer Jiang didn't care whether those people were in the command hall or not, and shouted directly.
Since the interception site is 21,000 kilometers outside the atmosphere, now they have one more chance to intercept, and the only problem is the degree of calculation. A minute later, a new calculation came out.
The good news is that all the meteorites they intercepted were hit, and the bad news is that although the large meteorite named X4231 was hit by the Russian side, it was divided into three parts, one of which flew exactly towards the territory of our country, and the impact site was the junction of Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi.
"If you intercept it again, even if you can't intercept it, you must change the direction of its impact." Captain One said loudly.
Soon this order was passed to the secret base and asked them to intercept it.
"Little bunnies, your chance has come, knock it down for me right away."
"There is not enough time, the chance of frontal interception is very small, and even if it is intercepted, it can only be in the atmosphere, and the danger is even greater."
As soon as these words came out, the entire command room suddenly became silent, and the general's cigarette also fell.
"Is there no way?"
"The only way is to use the orbit change technology, shoot first and then calculate the orbit, and then change the orbit to intercept it."
ββ¦β¦ Damn, do it, shoot it immediately, you must not drop the chain for Lao Tzu. The general was stunned for three seconds, and shouted loudly.
Two orbital lines appeared on the big screen in the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center at once, but this time, even a fool knew that the two sides could not touch, and the crookedness was too obvious. Seeing such a situation, the people in the hall were stupid, and the people in front of the TV series were stupid.
It was all good just now, the hit rate is still 100 percent, why did it go to its grandma's house this time, this is too outrageous.
However, it didn't take long for the trajectory on the screen to begin to change significantly, and the two orbital lines began to overlap. Now everyone's heart just mentioned is put down again, it turns out that you can still sauce purple. But before everyone could put it down, the two tracks that had just overlapped separated again.
I'll it, what kind of trouble is this? The hearts of the people who had just been put down were lifted again.
Soon, the orbital line changed again, the upward orbital line lowered again, and the two orbits overlapped again. Next, I don't see the trajectory of the missile start to rise and fall, and draw an 'S' shape on the orbital line of the meteorite.
Seeing this situation, people all over the country were eager to pull out the person who controlled the missile and shoot him for an hour, which was also too hated.
"Liu Mingchuan, what the hell are you doing?" The general yelled at a young man who was operating a missile, if it weren't for the other party's control of the missile, he would have wanted to kill him directly.
"I don't want to either, there's something wrong with the missile's spiral locator, and there's no way to correct the trajectory......" Liu Mingchuan was also wronged, and he was not to blame for this at all.
No matter how the missile flew, a few minutes later, when approaching the meteorite, it did not hit at all due to the large error, and could only be detonated manually.
A minute later, the meteorite's landing point was calculated again, and now the target has left China, but it has been replaced by Lake Baikal. Seeing this, the people of the whole country breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this time, a new situation appeared again, and those meteorites intercepted by other countries were shocked out of the predetermined orbit by the power of nuclear bomb explosions, and many meteorites hit China at the impact site. And at this time, there is no longer time to intercept.
"Damn, it's over, and you still bring this, pit people." Zhao Ming was watching TV in the living room and suddenly screamed.
Xiang Qian ignored him, but came to the balcony on the top floor with a bottle of nutrient solution, looking at the dazzling meteor shower in the sky, he knew that the moment of evolution was coming.
