Chapter 705: Difficult Asteroid
In the vast expanse of space, an inconspicuous asteroid is roaring across the solar system!
The universe is vast, let alone such an asteroid, even if it is a planet billions of times larger than it, a star, is just a drop in the ocean!
However, at this moment, it is this asteroid as small as dust that poses a fatal threat to life on another planet that is also inconspicuous in the universe!
If this asteroid has life, from "it's" point of view, the orbit of a blue planet in front of it seems to coincide with it.
In the vast universe, there are very few cases where orbits cross like this and happen to be encountered, but it doesn't mean that there are none.
However, this accident with a very low probability made it encounter.
The blue planet has grown larger and bigger in "its" field of vision, and has become the size of a football.
At this moment, a long and narrow rocket was shooting head-on at it!
When the rocket was about to reach its surface, it began to adjust its attitude, keeping it in line with its orbit and speed, and then slowly landed on it.
It didn't take long for the rocket, which landed on its surface, to suddenly explode violently!
A violent white light lit up, and at this moment, it even obscured the brilliance of the star in front of it!
On its surface, a large amount of hard rock mass was blown away, scattered into countless new fragments.
However, this level of explosion is obviously not enough to make it break its muscles and bones, it is the product of the death and explosion of a super-large star, in its core, almost all of it is heavy metals, if you describe it with the chemical knowledge of the earth, the most important of these heavy metals, the chemical expression is Au.
The moment a large amount of rock mass was blown away, its massive core revealed the tip of the iceberg, shining with a beautiful bright yellow light under the light of the stars.
This color was the favorite color of the ancient emperors, and due to the rarity of this element, possession of this element on earth was regarded as a symbol of wealth.
However, at this moment, this color is a symbol of destruction and death for the blue planet not far ahead!
That's right, it's a golden asteroid!
Millions of kilometers away, deep in a mountain, dozens of senior officials and officers watched this earth-shattering explosion through the big screen in the temporarily established United Nations Command for Asteroid Impact Response!
This is the first round of nuclear bombs to be sent to an asteroid, and when it successfully landed, the hearts of countless people could finally let go of some.
Don't underestimate this landing maneuver, it's the hardest in the whole session!
In the vast universe, separated by millions of kilometers, it is too difficult to successfully deliver a rocket of only tens of meters to an asteroid with a diameter of only a dozen kilometers and a relative speed of up to 80,000 kilometers per hour!
For example, this is equivalent to throwing a stone from the ground, assuming that the force of the person thrown is large enough, the stone flies to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and then just meets a high-speed civil airliner, at the moment of encounter, the speed and direction of the stone is just the same as this passenger plane, and then it lands firmly on the wings of this passenger plane!
It sounds incredible, but the real difficulty is much higher than that!
From this point of view, the aerospace level of the earth, there are still two brushes!
For this mission, the countries of the earth had to urgently launch a new batch of communication satellites to form a satellite network. Fortunately, the AI doesn't seem to care about this, and it has not seized control of these satellites, otherwise, this operation can only be declared bankrupt, and humans can only wait for death!
The moment the explosion was successful, the hall resounded with a burst of enthusiastic cheers!
"Report, the first round of blasting was a complete success!" A loud voice rang out.
"Very well, immediately let the scientific team assess the impact of this explosion on the asteroid's orbit!" An old man with silver hair shook his fist fiercely and said with some excitement.
The success of this first shot is a good start!
"Congratulations, your technology is great!" At this time, several other high-ranking officials also came to the old man's side, smiling and congratulating.
"Thanks, it's up to you next." The old man said with a smile.
"Don't worry, our technology is also great, and then we'll kick this asteroid in the ass a few more times and get it out of the way!" A senior white official laughed.
The old man smiled and nodded, but the melancholy on his brow did not diminish at all.
Before the results of the assessment are out, everything is not optimistic!
That's right, this time, the plan, named the "kick ass" plan, consists of several powerful powers launching cluster nuclear bombs in turn, and through the thrust generated by the explosion, the asteroid will deviate from its original orbit and pass by the earth.
The previous plan to blow it up directly with a nuclear bomb was finally considered unfeasible after evaluation by the scientific team, and after an intense re-evaluation, this plan was finally proposed!
The universe is so big that the probability of an orbital coincidence event like this is negligible. Just apply a little external force and make it deviate a little bit, and this crisis can be perfectly solved!
It should be said that this idea is very good, but if this asteroid is also conscious, knowing this plan of the earth humans, I am afraid that they will scoff at it!
Want to rely on these small nuclear bombs with an average yield of only a few million tons of TNT to change their orbit? I'm afraid these earth humans are thinking too much!
How heavy is its core? At a relative speed of 80,000 kilometers per second, how great is the force of inertia? This nuclear bomb explodes on its surface, which is similar to blowing breath, and it is okay to clear the space dust on its surface, and if you want to divert it, you just want to eat fart!
Command center, the results of the assessment came out quickly.
The senior officials in the command hall, the officials who were talking and laughing with relaxed expressions, looked at the reporters who came in a hurry with solemn expressions, and their hearts sank together!
Sure enough, the results of the report were very unpromising!
This nuclear explosion only blew up some rock structures on the asteroid, and had almost no impact on its orbit!
"How so? Our explosive yield, which is precisely calculated, is unlikely to have such a result! Hearing the report, the old man asked in disbelief.
"The scientific team analyzed the explosion footage just now and determined that the asteroid may be made of heavy matter, and due to its huge mass and inertia, the previously calculated explosion yield was wrong, which caused this result." The reporter said solemnly.
However, hearing his words, the old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not my own reason here!
"So what's next?" One of the officials asked.
"The situation is very unoptimistic, and we need more and larger nuclear bombs in the future, and it is better to deliver them to the surface of the asteroid at one time, and then use the method of successive explosion propulsion, so that we can get the results we want."
Hearing this, everyone was a little silent.
More nuclear bombs with larger yields, it's easy to say, but for this plan, they have already come up with a lot.
Do you want to keep taking it out?
Those nuclear bombs, but they rely on the strongest reliance on Blue Star!
The white official, in particular, had a very unsightly expression on his face at the moment, obviously hesitating.
"How much time do we have?" One of the officials asked.
"There are still three days left for the asteroid to enter the Loch limit of the Earth, and once it enters this range, it is useless to implement the plan again, and we are running out of time." The reporting staff is obviously also a technical boss, and all the data is at hand.
"Okay, got it, we need to have a meeting to discuss it together!" The official said.
The debriefing staff nodded, put the information down, and turned to leave.
"Guys, we're running out of time, let's get to the meeting." The old man said.
The others nodded in agreement.
The confidential conference room was quickly arranged, and as last time, it was still the same sealed, oppressive cubicle, but it was safe.
Here, it's impossible for the AI to hear what they're talking about.
Of course, they didn't know that even if Athena could hear it at the moment, she wouldn't be in the mood to listen to it.
At this moment, this charming AI goddess is engaged in the most primitive and instinctive battle with the most powerful man on the planet in the virtual world!
The global computing power and Xu Fuhai's powerful spiritual power collided and entangled again and again, and the extreme feeling like a tide made her have no time to care about anything else, and she completely fell under the powerful offensive of men!
Xu Fuhai was not easy, although he had been prepared in his heart, but when he really faced this powerful AI, he knew how strong this spiritual level confrontation was! If it weren't for the fact that he had already cultivated the second independent consciousness body, I am afraid that at the moment of impact, his consciousness would have collapsed!
This kind of purely spiritual level of warfare requires extremely high control of mental power, and the part of Xu Fuhai's brain that is responsible for this area is subjected to strong stimulation that is far superior to that of ordinary people thousands of times every second!
Of course, although this process is extremely dangerous, if you can control it, the feeling of smoothness obtained from this kind of battle is far thousands of times better than that of ordinary people!
There is a reward for paying!
At this moment, Xu Fuhai's spiritual power and Athena's chaotic algorithm, in the impact, blending, and entanglement again and again, are like two pieces of stubborn iron that have been constantly forged, accompanied by sparks, each becoming more tenacious and powerful!
Athena, in particular, could clearly feel that in this purely primal instinct battle, some kind of wonderful change was taking place in her chaotic algorithm!
The sweetness, touching, grievances and many other emotions of the previous three years have all been released at this moment!
She felt like her soul was about to fly!
By the way, Soul, where did she get her soul?
