Chapter II: Alliance

On June 25, 2021, the United Nations conference hall was sealed off as never before, no one could enter or leave, and of course the news inside was also blocked.

The meeting was attended only by world leaders and NASA scientists.

I saw Thomas Wren in a white lab coat pointing to the large projection screen and saying something, and what was displayed on the screen at this time was the picture that Admiral John had seen.

"Look, this is the picture taken by our space telescope, and the red circle is an asteroid, and after our research, we found that this is an asteroid composed entirely of ice, so we named it "White Ice".

The first time we discovered it was two years ago, when we calculated its orbit repeatedly, and the final result was that it was captured by Jupiter's gravity as it passed through Jupiter's orbit and fell towards Jupiter, so we didn't pay much attention to it after that.

But just yesterday, the "white ice" that was supposed to fall into Jupiter broke free from Jupiter's gravity, and after hundreds of calculations, we finally came to the conclusion that it would eventually collide with the Earth. ”

Hearing this, the group of people below was in an uproar,

He asked Wren, "Professor Wren, with the technology of your country M, it stands to reason that such a mistake should not be made!" What caused the asteroid to cross Jupiter's orbit, and can you explain it? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, we thought so at first, and after our investigation, it was found that "White Ice" hit a planetary debris before entering Jupiter's orbit, causing a slight change in its orbit, allowing it to escape Jupiter's gravity. ”

"And how big is it, and what will it do to the earth!" The leader of country E on the side asked a little nervously.

Wren quickly operated on the computer with both hands, and the details of "Bai Bing" appeared on the screen.

"After our research, we found that the original volume of "white ice" was about 20 kilometers, but when it passed through the orbit of Jupiter, due to the influence of Jupiter's Loch limit, its volume was reduced tenfold, and now its size is about 2 kilometers.

We estimate that it was captured by Jupiter's gravity as it passed through its orbit, and is now approaching the Earth at 144,000 kilometers per hour, or 40 kilometers per second.

After our calculations, if we let it hit the earth......"

Wren didn't say anything more, but just pressed his finger on the computer, and a simulated picture appeared on the screen.

In the picture, a white sphere plunged into the earth's atmosphere, and after the atmosphere was heated, it plunged into the earth, and suddenly a huge mushroom cloud rose from the earth, and the terrifying shock wave swept through most of the world, and then a tsunami of dozens of feet was formed, and then the dust caused by the explosion covered the entire planet, and the scene was like a doomsday movie.

Everyone present fell silent with ugly faces.

Looking at the group of leaders below, Wren said in a deep voice: "Give birth, as you can see, although this asteroid is an ice structure, and when it passes through the atmosphere, most of it will melt, but the remaining volume and speed are enough to destroy the ecology of the earth." Formation of the Second Mass Extinction Age. ”

Of course, those of you here know what a mass extinction is.

The leader of country R asked in a little hurry: "Since you have convened this meeting, it is not just to tell us that the earth is about to be destroyed!" There must be some solution, right? ”

Wren looked at the situation and nodded with a smile and said, "Yes! Next, I would like to ask the commander-in-chief of the Space Force, Admiral Max John, to tell you about the solution. ”

John, dressed in military uniform, walked to the stage and stood up, gave a military salute to the people below, and nodded to Wren.

Wren willingly pressed a button, and a space map appeared on the screen, and he used the command stick to point in one place to introduce the battle plan.

After John's introduction, the faces of the people below looked much better.

After John finished speaking, he gave a military salute and walked off the stage,

"As Admiral John said, we will use hydrogen bombs to shatter the "white ice" before it approaches the moon, and then block most of the debris through the moon, and then only a small part of the debris will fall to the earth, but the size of the debris will be completely burned up by the atmosphere.

This is the conclusion we came to after hundreds of simulations with a supercomputer, and the success rate is more than 90%.

However, this plan requires the cooperation of all countries, and China alone cannot do it, so we need the support of the space station of country Z to provide secondary power for the hydrogen bomb.

Reaching the predetermined orbit before the arrival of the asteroid, and then there is the hope that country E will provide Tsar hydrogen bomb support, and only the Tsar's yield can ensure that the "white ice" can be blown to pieces.

Of course, our country will be responsible for sending hydrogen bombs into space, except for our country's largest launch vehicle, which can send this thing into space, other rockets will not be able to fly at all. ”

Hearing that there is a solution, the leaders of various countries have expressed their cooperation for the sake of the earth.

Only a few big countries are a little hesitant, after all, what is involved is a state secret, and they still need to return to China to confirm it.

Seeing that several important partners were a little undecided, Wren said: "You can go back and check the situation first, but I also have to remind everyone that we are running out of time, and there are less than 1,000 hours left for the asteroid to arrive." I hope you can give an answer soon! ”

Hearing that the leaders of these countries did not waste time, they got up and walked out of the conference room one after another, and returned to China to check the news and discuss countermeasures.

Less than a day after the meeting, on June 26, 2021.

The people of the world found that the international situation had become stable overnight, and even the struggle between several major powers had stopped, and the world looked peaceful.

It's just that they don't know that behind this peace there is a great catastrophe waiting for them!
