Chapter 415: Unprecedented Global Cooperation

Relying on quantum computers and artificial intelligence, it is not difficult to calculate the new trajectory and speed of the asteroid after the change according to the transmitted detection data, not to mention the help of Xu Yun, a mathematician.

With the joint efforts of many researchers, it did not take long to get the final results.

It's just that after seeing the analysis given by the deep sea on the screen, everyone's expressions became solemn.

"According to our calculations, if the asteroid moves according to its current trajectory, the probability of hitting the Earth will reach 90 percent."

"It's even higher."

Zhou Mingwei paused slightly in this atmosphere, and then took the initiative to provoke the topic.

With the development of human beings in the field of aerospace, the probe has passed several planets in the solar system.

Especially for those asteroids with potential threats, it is strictly monitored.

Make sure they're under control.

After all, the dinosaurs, who were the overlords of the earth in the first place, were extinct because of the asteroid hitting the earth.

Even if human civilization develops to this day, it still does not want to encounter such a natural disaster.

Otherwise, the blow to human civilization will be absolutely fatal.

Originally, there was no danger from asteroids on Earth, and even if it did, it was only a relatively small existence.

There will be no impact on the planet.

Basically, entering the Earth is similar to a meteorite.

But I never expected that for some reason, an asteroid that was originally moving normally suddenly deviated from its orbit.

Of course, this kind of thing is extremely normal in the universe.

Not unusual.

After the key derailment, he actually ran to the earth.

If it hits other planets, it will be irrelevant.

But now people have to pay attention.

And it is worth mentioning that everyone present at the moment is preoccupied and their attention is on this asteroid.

Actively think about how to deal with it.

There is not the slightest doubt about this result.

Not to mention the power of quantum computers and artificial intelligence in the deep sea today, Xu Yun's mathematical achievements alone are convincing, so there is absolutely no problem with the calculated results.

Xu Yun didn't expect this to happen suddenly, he was just about to build a controllable nuclear fusion device on the moon base, when he was disrupted by an asteroid that suddenly appeared.

But now that it's happened, the first thing to do is to work out a workable response as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the matter comes to the root, there is no way to solve it.

The thought stayed here, and he didn't hesitate for anything, and immediately asked for more specific data about this asteroid.

"Can you determine the approximate diameter of this asteroid now?"

As Xu Yun, who was sitting in the seat, spoke, his voice suddenly attracted the attention of everyone present.

The diameter of the main asteroid is related to the impact on the Earth.

Only by first understanding all the surface data can we better carry out the next step.

Zhou Mingwei and the others obviously already knew these data, and replied without any doubts in the face of Xu Yun's inquiry:

"Regarding the diameter of this asteroid, we have used different detectors to conduct multi-angle analysis, and the final analysis result is that the diameter is about 10 kilometers."

When he said this, he could see that Zhou Mingwei's expression was completely dimmed.

Apparently the other side knows exactly what this means.

Even the other people present gasped when they heard this number.

I never expected this asteroid to be so staggering.

If it is only an asteroid with a diameter of a few hundred meters, then with the existing space technology of mankind, several solutions can be formulated.

But an asteroid with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers is almost as close as the culprit that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.

If humanity really does nothing and allows this asteroid to impact on Earth, the damage and subsequent effects may not be able to lead to genocide like the dinosaurs, and there will definitely be an extremely horrific death toll around the world.

This is definitely something that human civilization does not want to see.

Therefore, Zhang Feng, who also participated in today's meeting, immediately put forward his own solution.

Hopefully it helps.

It is best to effectively solve the crisis caused by asteroids.

"With an asteroid of this size, can we use the Shenwei system to carry out an orbital strike on it, and if it is broken, will the crisis be resolved?"

As his words fell, his gaze naturally fell on Xu Yun's body.

Zhang Feng has been in charge of the deployment of the Shenwei space-based weapon system.

So far, it's almost done.

It can be said that at present, in the Earth's orbit, the orbital platforms carrying space-based weapons are all in place, and they cooperate with each other to form an unimaginably powerful Shenwei system.

Although the Shenwei system has not yet shown its fangs to the outside world, no one dares to underestimate the power it has.

It is no exaggeration to say that the situation on the entire earth is now under the monitoring of the Shenwei system.

It's like a sword hanging over your head, ready to fall at any time.

As an orbital weapon, the Shenwei system can not only strike targets on Earth, but also other things in space.

As long as it is within the strike range.

After all, from the beginning of the design of the Shenwei system, it included the ability to accurately strike enemy satellites and space equipment in space.

In this case, it is indeed feasible to use the Shenwei system to bombard the asteroid.

But there's a problem.

That is, when the Shenwei system can strike at the asteroid, I am afraid that the asteroid is already close to the Earth's orbit.

At such a distance, even if the asteroid is shattered, the resulting fragments will enter the Earth's atmosphere and eventually collide violently with the ground.

Still no damage can be avoided.

The main asteroid is too large in diameter.

Unless it can be completely shattered in the vicinity of low-Earth orbit to the point where it could be burned up by the atmosphere, the consequences may be even greater.

As the designer of the Shenwei system, Xu Yun can naturally quickly confirm the feasibility of this method.

So without any hesitation, he shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate to put hope in the Shenwei system. ”

Zhang Feng must have been convinced of Xu Yun's words, so he didn't show any objections when he heard this, but just looked at Xu Yun with a calm face and waited for the other party to solve his doubts.

And Xu Yun naturally didn't sell it in this regard, and then explained it in detail.

"Whether we forcibly change the trajectory of this asteroid or shatter it completely, we must do so in a region far from Earth."

"Otherwise, the impact could lead to a change in the Earth's climate."

As for the threat of an asteroid hitting the earth, the Aerospace Engineering Office has long proposed a response plan.

After all, this kind of thing must be prepared for a rainy day.

Under normal circumstances, in response to the threat of an asteroid, a special space vehicle can be dispatched to impact the asteroid.

It forcibly changes its original trajectory and no longer runs to the earth.

But this time the diameter of the asteroid is too large to rely solely on the impact of a spacecraft.

So the only thing left is to fight it.

However, such a large asteroid, no matter what kind of attack it takes, will make a lot of noise in the solar system, and even if the debris does not fall on the earth, it is easy to cause climate change.

Therefore, it is necessary to solve the crisis in advance before the asteroid reaches the earth.

After listening to Xu Yun's words, everyone present also fell into thought, and soon figured out the powerful relationship.

I agree very much with Xu Yun's judgment.

Among them, Zhou Mingwei took the initiative to ask: "Xu Yuan, where do you think we should solve this asteroid?" ”

"Mars." Xu Yun spit out two words in a deep voice.

And this answer suddenly made everyone fall silent again.

Given the distance between Mars and Earth, a strike on an asteroid will naturally have little effect.

But the key question is how to get this done.

First of all, the target site is on Mars, and the Shenwei space-based weapon system is completely useless.

Even if the existing space equipment can go to Mars, the power and destructive power of the existing space equipment will not affect the asteroid.

They seem to be in a difficult situation.

It is not possible to determine a specific course of action in a short period of time.

At the same time, Xu Yun's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he naturally knew what everyone was thinking.

However, the danger of an asteroid impact on the Earth is not just a matter for their space engineering office, and all mankind should be involved in finding a solution to this crisis.

Thinking about these clearly, Xu Yun did not hesitate, and said directly: "This time is not just our family's business, let's announce our discovery to the world first, and then all parties must actively participate in this action to save human civilization." ”

"It's not too late to work out a workable solution when these things are done first."

Xu Yun's proposal naturally won the support of everyone present, and it was related to the major events of human civilization, and it was inappropriate to ask them to contribute.

In addition, Xu Yun was not worried at all that this would cause panic.

After all, with the overcoming of room-temperature superconducting materials and controllable nuclear fusion, the public's pride in science and technology has reached an unprecedented peak, not to mention the risk of an asteroid hitting the earth, even if an alien spacecraft is really discovered, it will not directly lose its fighting spirit.

"Xu Yuan is right, I'll sort out and report the relevant content." Bai Ruisong nodded to Xu Yun and said.

As the director of the Manned Space Engineering Office, he must sort out and report as soon as possible in the face of such a big matter.

After all, this matter has basically been confirmed now.

At this point in the meeting, all they could do was wait.

The meeting was then declared closed.

But just as everyone was worried about leaving, Xu Yun seemed to think of something and asked Zhou Mingwei: "According to the current speed of this asteroid, how long is it until it reaches the earth?" ”

"At present, our exploration equipment is still tracking the asteroid, and although the detailed data has not yet been transmitted, it should be five years away based on the analysis of the available information."

Zhou Mingwei naturally wouldn't hide anything from Xu Yun, so he answered truthfully without thinking about it in the face of the inquiry.

At the moment, they don't know enough about the asteroid, and a lot of the data is not 100% accurate.

That's why it wasn't brought up immediately at the meeting.

The other five years also gave them time to prepare, and they could slowly develop detailed and feasible solutions.

Moreover, with the current pace of technological development, it is really difficult to say what the situation will be like in five years.

Perhaps within this time, the asteroid will change its trajectory and deviate from the Earth again, and all crises will be solved.

Of course, it is absolutely undesirable to pin all hope on such a situation.

That's it.

As the situation about this asteroid was reported, a major earthquake was also ushered in.

No one expected the crisis to be so close.

Naturally, he attached great importance to this, and appointed Xu Yun as the general person in charge of the mission through research and discussion that night, and announced the situation about the Destruction Star the next day.

did not choose to hide from the public.

And the Destroyer is the name of this asteroid.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the sudden change in the orbit of an asteroid with such a large diameter will naturally attract the attention of other space research institutions.

It can be said that it was almost not long after the announcement of the Destruction Star in China, and this human crisis was also reported overseas.

Originally, everyone was still immersed in the joy of scientific and technological development, especially the overcoming of controlled nuclear fusion, which was full of hope, but this joy did not last long before it ushered in the first blow.

Human civilization has encountered such a sudden crisis.

However, as Xu Yun judged, when everyone learned that it was Xu Yun who was responsible for solving this crisis, they all rekindled their fighting spirit.

I believe that Xu Yun can solve the crisis.

Even without the deliberate guidance of the official, the comment area of related topics is full of remarks of mutual encouragement and cheering.

"This asteroid is also a little too big, it's hard to imagine what it would be like if we had close contact with Earth."

"Dinosaurs are completely incomparable to us humans, and we must have a way to solve this crisis."

"Believe in Xu Yuan."

"As long as Xu Yuan is there, there is a sense of security."

"It's just an asteroid, and we'll definitely find a way to get rid of it."

"Controlled nuclear fusion can be solved, and I will be afraid of an asteroid."

"Someone made a picture of the impact between the planet and the earth, and after watching it, I finally knew why the dinosaurs went extinct in the first place."

……

And when the outside world was discussing this matter, the major forces around the world quickly reached a consensus and announced the formation of a human space security alliance to jointly deal with the crisis from the Destruction of God.

It is also the first time that countries around the world have cooperated with each other.

After discussion, the headquarters of the Alliance for Human Space Security will be set up in the imperial capital, and all parties must send an expert team to participate, and they must also unconditionally obey the order.

Naturally, no one has any objection to this.

After all, with the completion of the deployment of the Shenwei space-based weapon system and the mastery of controllable nuclear fusion technology, there will be no one who is so ignorant in this situation.

What's more, the Space Engineering Office also has the world's most advanced aviation technology, which is the key to whether the crisis of destroying the god can be successfully solved this time.
