Section 743 - Countdown

Both NASA and the National Astronomical Observatories (NASA) and the National Astronomical Observatories (NAA) provide almost identical drawings of the orbits of space and the Earth, including the actual and predicted trajectories that are strikingly consistent, and the accuracy of the calculations between the two sides is almost the same.

Lao Mei will not make Chinese April Fool's jokes on such things.

For the threat from outer space, even if any country on the earth is an inextricable mortal enemy with other countries, it will also share some information with all countries in the world in advance, after all, the earth belongs to everyone, and no one can escape if it is a little bit in case.

The tracks marked in a special color, they had to take it seriously.

Moreover, according to the additional marks of the technical department of the space center and the military, although the end point is in Chinese territory, fortunately it is not a densely populated urban area.

If it is an ordinary small village, the government spends some money to relocate all the villagers, and then rebuild the village for them, even if every family builds a small western-style house, it is like a drizzle, this little money is not a problem for the government and the military at all.

But there is a large military base there, and if something happens, it will be a lot of fun.

Military bases are not so easy to relocate, not only are temporary replacement stations difficult to find, but also the construction cost of the original facilities is not much lower than the assets of a town, especially its location has been carefully considered, once it is moved, all aspects involved are extremely complicated, and even completely expose the strength of this army.

Lao Mei NASA provided this message when it came. If you are not completely at ease, this will become one of the most celestial disasters in the world.

"What can I do? Can they help us solve it? ”

Lieutenant General Chen Shaoyu naturally understood that handing these two documents to him meant that it was very likely that the above would push this problem to the space center to solve it.

"I can't count on them, Admiral Zheng of the Second Artillery Corps has already said hello to me, they are only in charge of business in the atmosphere, and they are more than enough for the market outside the atmosphere."

Director Deng had already expected this answer, after all, the intercontinental missile, a strategic-level weapon, was not specifically designed to strike small celestial bodies in space. It's really too cross-industry.

The range of a strategic intercontinental missile using a large carrier rocket is far enough, but it is aimed at ground targets, and if it wants to deal with the threat from outer space, it will not be able to do so at all unless a nuclear warhead with multiple bombs is loaded into low-earth orbit and bombarded at all.

But the use of nuclear weapons near the atmosphere, which is something only a madman would do, would destroy an unknown number of space satellites, including China. Even the International Orbital Space Station will have an impact.

And with the gravitational pull of the earth, a large amount of nuclear radiation and dust will enter the atmosphere. Pollute the entire atmosphere. That would be a disaster.

Fortunately, the "Buzhoushan" spaceport will not officially enter the stage of the main part of the first launch for some time, otherwise even the spaceport will be threatened.

"The situation doesn't look good, can we take it out of the atmosphere? The Shuttle at the Fifth Training Center is almost finished, and with a few suitable astronauts, we can use the Shuttle to carry nuclear warheads to destroy asteroid debris. ”

Touching his chin, Lieutenant General Chen pointed to the asteroid fragment marked on the trajectory line and continued to ask, although it was not very large. But the atmosphere can't burn it out.

After calculating the knot, once it falls to the ground. The power is equivalent to the effect of a 10-ton TNT detonation, which is equivalent to a small-yield nuclear bomb. If it is smashed in that military base, there is an eighty percent chance that even the people and the base will be wiped off the earth in the first place.

"Sky Shuttle?" Director Deng was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The shuttle has not been completed at all, and we have not done any take-off tests, even if we can find a pilot who can control it, we can't send it into space." ”

Although it is not impossible to launch a nuclear warhead farther into low-earth orbit with a large launch vehicle, although the launch vehicle is the main product of the Ministry of Space, it is not a double kick.

Not only is the cost extremely expensive, but the production speed is extremely slow, and the progress of building one in a year is considered to be fast, and under normal circumstances, the three major space centers have no inventory at all.

The second artillery is in stock, but unfortunately it is all products in the atmosphere, and it can't shoot too far.

It is only a theory to use a nuclear warhead to hit a small celestial body in outer space, and whether it can be neutralized or whether it can be exploded is still ambiguous, after all, no one has really tried it, and I don't know how many countries will be worried about this when this nuclear warhead is launched.

And not to mention the automatic tracking warhead that can automatically find targets in space, and there is not even a physical object.

In fact, when China first established its Ministry of Aerospace, it had already anticipated the possibility of celestial disasters in the future, and had already begun to make relevant active preparations, but their progress was far from catching up with the sudden changes in reality.

China's aerospace industry, which can represent a country's comprehensive industrial strength, is full of shortcomings, and is now barely able to send astronauts to low-earth orbit, which is already a very difficult task.

The shuttle under the Fifth Aerospace Training Center has already been drained by the people of the whole country.

Even the American space shuttle, which has always had deep pockets, is now out of service, and one can imagine how difficult it is to build spacecraft such as the space shuttle, and the cost makes the US government feel numb.

Lieutenant General Chen let out a long sigh and said, "The above means that we are going to solve it, but what should we do now?" Is it really necessary to detonate a nuclear bomb in low-earth orbit in the atmosphere? If we are given another twenty years, we may be able to solve this problem enough, alas!"

As for the United States, which was the first to start space development, its space technology is more advanced than China's, and I am afraid that it has discovered this threat a long time ago, and it must have been able to deal with this nasty asteroid fragment, but it has deliberately delayed until now to report it to China.

NASA is clearly watching the jokes of the Chinese.

"We can't solve it outside the atmosphere, but we should have the ability to do it inside the atmosphere."

Director Deng is obviously racking his brains to find a way, this hot mountain is really not easy to catch.

"Let the Air Force think of a way to wait for the debris to enter the atmosphere and intercept it in sections." Lieutenant General Chen could only think of a solution that could not be solved.

The idea of multi-stage launch of the launch vehicle comes from the inspiration of the multi-stage launch of the launch vehicle, since there is no way to solve the target in one breath, it is simply solved step by step to solve the difficulty separately.

The weakness of technology can only be compensated for by numbers, and the lack of attack capability outside the atmosphere can only be compensated for by multiple interceptions in the atmosphere.

As long as it is shot off orbit or blown into pieces, then there will not be much threat to the military base on the ground, which is located in a sparsely populated area, and even if it is four or five kilometers away, the lethality of the asteroid debris will be sharply reduced.

"That's fine, let the ground forces try it with large laser cannons first, preferably in outer space, and then use high-altitude interceptor missiles to fight a second round when the target enters the atmosphere, and finally let the Air Force send multiple fighter jets to intercept in sections along the planned trajectory."

Director Deng also felt that Lieutenant General Chen's idea was the most reliable idea until there was a better way, but the specific implementation plan still needed professionals to make detailed planning arrangements.

Just a piece of asteroid fragment, and the resources and scale of the small fleet that can be used to attack aliens, can be regarded as a very powerful operation in the international community.

"Will a fighter be able to keep up with the speed of the debris? I'm afraid that the old American 'Aurora (Goddess of Dawn)" strategic reconnaissance aircraft can be competent, and no matter how bad it is, it will have to be an aircraft such as the MiG-25 (Flying Fox) or SR-71 (Blackbird) that can reach speeds of more than Mach 3. ”

The Chinese Air Force has not been equipped with the MiG-25, even if there are a few MiG-31s, but their speed can only reach Mach 2.8, and other main fighters like the J-10 will not exceed the speed of the thermal barrier (Mach 2.5), which makes Lieutenant General Chen, who is well aware of this situation, can't help frowning.

The Ministry of Space is an upgraded version of the Air Force, although it is not subordinate to each other, but it has a broken relationship, many astronauts are from the Air Force, and also have some understanding of the current situation of the Chinese Air Force, Lieutenant General Chen's worries are not unreasonable, these days after the visitors enter the atmosphere, even if there is the friction resistance of the air, its speed is quite amazing, and it can even reach Mach 58, it is almost impossible to chase, and there is only the possibility of ambushing in front of the front to intercept or maybe there is the possibility of replenishing the gun, it is only a possibility.

Director Deng paced back and forth in Lieutenant General Chen's office for two steps, and muttered, "This is indeed a trouble, um, but I seem to have heard that a new super-high-speed fighter plane has recently appeared in China, and it was almost intercepted as a missile, so I have to check with the Air Force." ”

"Is this true? That's great!"

Lieutenant General Chen, this is really a surprise, the error between the laser cannon and the interceptor missile is very large, although the fighter cannot guarantee 100% interception, but the attack accuracy is much higher than the former.

"I heard that the speed can reach Mach 5, I think it should be enough, if we can bring a laser cannon or an electromagnetic railgun, the hit rate should be very high, maybe we should give it a try."

Director Deng seemed to have found an opportunity to look at Lieutenant General Chen, and the two nodded to each other in unison, and said in unison: "That's right!" Then give it a try!"

"How much time do we have?"

"Fourteen hours to go."

"Let's do it." ――
