Chapter 422: Emergencies
Unlike the surface of the Moon, the environmental characteristics of Mars can only be described in two words.
Desolate.
As far as the eye can see, there is yellow-brown rubble and rubble.
and traces of being washed by running water.
Due to the lack of a magnetic field and the thinning of the atmosphere, it is directly exposed to radiation and cosmic rays, and no life can survive on it.
Coupled with extreme temperature changes, it can be said to be quite dangerous.
Astronauts can only ensure their own safety if they stay in a special modular Mars base.
Fortunately, this mission is only to monitor the destruction of God to ensure that the nuclear bomb can be detonated accurately and perfectly.
There is no need for astronauts to explore the surface of Mars.
In essence, it is less dangerous.
And because the gravity of Mars is three times greater than that of the Moon, when an astronaut steps on the surface, it feels completely different than when he is on the Moon.
The five astronauts who were assigned to be stationed on Mars this time have basically carried out lunar base missions and have very rich space experience, but at this time, when they are really standing on the surface of Mars, their inner emotions are still very excited and difficult to hold back.
Soon after a few people finished walking on Mars, after coming to the module base from the spacecraft, they first took out a red flag and planted it on Mars.
Then the flag of the Alliance for the Security of Humanity in Space was planted.
As a symbolism of the conquest of Mars by man.
Among them, it is worth mentioning that this time it is not a special manned space mission to Mars, and the astronauts do not need to greet the audience in the live broadcast room.
The only thought in my mind is to successfully deal with the Destroyer.
"The environment on Mars is not very stable, and a cosmic storm may break out at any time to affect us, so we need to enter the module base as soon as possible and debug the exploration equipment."
At this time, as the captain's words sounded in the communication equipment, the other four astronauts no longer wasted time.
Then they set off to enter the module base.
After all of them safely entered the module base, the Pilot also started to quickly lift off from Mars again, preparing to deploy the nuclear bomb in the predetermined orbital area.
However, the attention of the audience in the live broadcast room is still immersed in human footing on Mars at the moment.
Thinking that I could witness this historical moment with my own eyes, I only felt that my emotions had reached the critical point of a complete explosion in an instant.
From the first human set foot on the moon, and then the construction of a lunar base on the moon a few decades later, it has now conquered Mars in a very short time, and has completed the landing on Mars and the construction of a Mars base at the same time.
Overly excited, it seems that they have temporarily forgotten the crisis of the God Destroying Star hanging over the head of human civilization.
I just want to enjoy the beauty of this moment.
The quickly refreshed barrage in the live broadcast room all showed everyone's mood at the moment.
"A small step for the individual is a giant leap for humanity."
"If it had been in the first two years, I wouldn't have thought we would have landed on Mars so soon."
"After the Moon, I declare that Mars has once again been conquered by man."
"With this kind of Martian base, I'm afraid it won't be long before humans on Mars will be taller than the moon."
"It's a pity that there is no atmosphere on Mars, and there is still a long way to go before it can be truly built as a Martian community."
"I wonder what it's like to step on the surface of Mars?"
"What Academician Xu said before is really right, the successful construction of the lunar base is just the beginning, it won't be long before we will land on Mars, and I am afraid that soon the solar system will no longer be the shackles of our human beings."
……
This joyful feast lasted for a few minutes, and only after everyone's emotions gradually calmed down did they once again focus on the content of the live broadcast room.
Wait for the official start of the Destroyer Project.
From the discovery of the Destroyer and the judgment of its danger, to the establishment of the Human Space Security Alliance to formulate the Destroyer plan, to the end of the plan, it would be absolutely false to say that it was not exciting.
After all, the survival of the entire human civilization is at stake.
With so much preparation and so much time for mankind to prepare, can it intercept the planet outside of Mars?
The matter will soon be decided.
And the closer to this day, the stronger the apprehension in everyone's hearts.
It's like being enlarged with a magnifying glass.
The main implementation of the Destroyer Star plan is completely all-or-nothing in a way.
There is no viable alternative to human civilization.
It can be said that the treasure is all pressed on the pilot.
If it fails to intercept the planet and make it successfully cross Mars and continue to attack the Earth and the Moon, it will be an unprecedented catastrophe for the entire human civilization.
The point is that the vast majority of people will be affected by such disasters.
Meanwhile.
Just as the Pilot was heading to the scheduled orbit, everyone in the command hall of the General Control Center also raised their hearts to their throats.
I know that everyone must be in good spirits for the next time.
Until the crisis of the Destruction Star is completely resolved.
And because of the Martian base and the deployment of astronauts in advance, it has bought a lot of time for human civilization, so this side gives them an extra opportunity to choose from.
That is whether to change the original location of the nuclear bomb.
There are still about two months left for humanity at the moment, and it will not be until that time that the planet will reach Earth, and even intercepting it on Mars will be more than enough.
For this reason, it is perfectly possible to place the area where the nuclear bomb is located between Jupiter and Mars.
Interception in advance reduces the risk to the Earth and the Moon.
It's nothing for the speed of the Destroyer anyway.
However, one of them needs to be mentioned, that is, after arriving on Mars, the Pilot will basically not be able to travel through space at a maximum speed of 10% of the speed of light.
After all, Mars is not far from the intended location for the deployment of nuclear bombs, and if you use the maximum sailing speed, you may have already passed this place just after accelerating.
Time is wasted.
Instead, I sailed slowly.
Finish the final leg of this mission.
Zhou Mingwei seized the opportunity to change the location of the nuclear bomb, and it was obvious that he had some intention in his heart.
It is believed that in addition to reducing the risk of affecting the Earth, it can also solve the power of the Destroyer one step earlier.
However, purely as a group of scientists of the Human Space Security Alliance, he does not have the right to make a decision, and in the end, how to implement it all requires Xu Yun to give instructions personally.
So after a little hesitation, Zhou Mingwei still stepped forward and took the initiative to say what he thought in his heart.
"Report to Academician Xu, the Pilot is about to arrive at its intended location."
"I have some new ideas on my side about where to deploy nuclear bombs......
However, before he could finish speaking, his words were suddenly muffled by the sound of an order announcing in the hall.
I had to keep it in my heart.
Xu Yun listened to the two voices that came into his ears, and did not immediately respond to the staff's broadcast.
Instead, he turned around directly and locked his eyes on Zhou Mingwei, and then said with a relaxed face: "Tell me about it." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Mingwei subconsciously thought that Xu Yun also had this idea in his heart.
Emotions instantly became agitated.
Hurriedly said in detail: "At present, there is still some time before the Destroyer arrives at Mars, and we think that instead of waiting for the arrival of the Destroyer, it is better to take the initiative to intercept and destroy the Destroyer in advance." ”
"In addition, I have done a lot of careful calculations through the deep sea about this matter, and the feasibility is very high.
After Zhou Mingwei finished speaking, he resumed his silence again, but his eyes fell on Xu Yun, waiting for a response with an expectant face.
From a factual point of view, the sooner the destruction of God is solved, the better it will be for human civilization.
Xu Yun didn't think about it.
Therefore, in the face of Zhou Mingwei's proposal, he chose to agree after a little hesitation.
"We do have plenty of time to move forward with a nuclear bomb between Jupiter and Mars."
"That's great." Zhou Mingwei said with a smile on his face.
The other scientists of the alliance present naturally had no objections in the face of this feasible proposal that had been approved by Xu Yun.
Under Xu Yun's instructions, all expressed their support.
The atmosphere in the entire hall also became much more enthusiastic, as if the news of the destruction of the god destroyer was about to arrive.
That's it.
With everyone reaching an agreement, Xu Yun was about to give instructions to the Pilot to continue moving forward, but a rapid alarm suddenly sounded on the main information screen in front of the hall.
And mixed with the flickering of the screen.
Extremely oppressive.
In an instant, everyone present was nervous again.
"What's going on?!"
Xu Yun blurted out subconsciously with a straight face, and hurriedly led a group of scientists to find out the situation in the next second.
After careful inspection, it turned out that there was an alarm on the monitoring system of the planet.
There can only be one reason why this happens.
That is a new change in the planet of destruction, completely detached from its usual behavior.
That's when the alarm was triggered.
In this regard, the engineering personnel responsible for the corresponding content also got the feedback data, and quickly stood up and reported.
Don't dare to hesitate in the slightest.
"Report Academician Xu, according to the latest data from the probe, the Destroyer was attracted by an unknown force after passing Jupiter, and its speed increased again, and it is expected to reach the vicinity of the Earth within a month."
When these words reached the ears of everyone present, everyone's faces immediately became gloomy.
His expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
Unexpectedly, seeing that the situation gradually became clear and determined, there was once again a crisis of sliding into the abyss.
No one thought that after experiencing acceleration, the Destroying God Star would accelerate its trajectory again.
According to the latest data analysis, if Anglosphere reaches Earth's low Earth orbit in a month's time, it may pass by Mars in less than ten days.
To put it simply, there is not much time left for them.
In this case, there is definitely no way to implement the proposal given by Zhou Mingwei just now.
For now, we can only choose the original plan and deploy hundreds of nuclear bombs in the predetermined area as soon as possible to intercept the next movement of the Destroyer.
"The Pilot began to slow down and prepare to shut down the main engines and send a small spacecraft to deploy a nuclear bomb."
Xu Yun's thinking was running rapidly at the moment, and he was not affected by the rapid changes in the external situation at all, and immediately issued various instructions in an orderly manner.
The deployment of nuclear bombs has officially begun, preparing to intercept the planet of Destruction.
At the same time, the Mars base also used the equipment delivered to capture the hundreds of nuclear bombs that had been declassified.
Make sure they can detonate at the same time.
After doing this, Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned back to Zhou Mingwei and said, "It seems that this God Destroying Star doesn't want to follow our wishes, and now it can only start deploying directly according to the predetermined plan." ”
"Who would have thought it would speed up, but that would be a premature destruction of it." A slightly helpless smile appeared on Zhou Mingwei's face, and he echoed Xu Yun's words in response.
Although the Destroyer is a dead thing, its trajectory is uncontrollable.
All they can do is monitor and try to intercept in real time.
There is no way to disrupt the plan by such a sudden change.
However, the speed of the planet is accelerated, so even if it is still intercepted in the orbit of Mars, it can be regarded as destroying it in advance to solve the crisis.
Zhou Mingwei naturally has no objections.
Soon, the entire general control center also issued a new order, and all personnel must be on standby 24 hours a day in the next 10 days to resolutely win this tough battle related to the development of human civilization.
In addition to the various busy figures, the floors of each department are filled with an atmosphere of urgency.
Let's talk about the Pilot.
The deployment of a declassified nuclear bomb in space, far from Earth, is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.
In addition, the whole process needs to be extremely precise and cannot be deviated in the slightest.
The best way to do this is to have an AI-powered deep-sea control vehicle deployed.
As for the thousands of crew members, it is necessary to concentrate on keeping a close eye on the deployment of nuclear bombs.
Detect and resolve anomalies in a timely manner.
There are hundreds of nuclear bombs, and it will take at least a few days to fully deploy.
It is worth mentioning that the Human Space Security Alliance did not hide the news of the acceleration of the Destroyer again, but chose to release the news as soon as possible.
And deliberately explained that the situation is still under control to avoid panic.
Although many people have expressed concern about this, they still firmly believe that the crisis of the Destruction of God will definitely be resolved.
In this context, it is naturally difficult for most people to settle down and continue to devote themselves to their original life and work, and they have chosen to enter the live broadcast room to witness the highlight moments of human civilization.
If you open the live broadcast room at this time, you will see that the door of the Pilot is open, and from time to time there will be aircraft carrying nuclear bombs flying out of it to the specified coordinates.
The scene can be said to be more shocking than many science fiction movies, after all, this is a real thing happening in front of you.
A few days later, when the deployment of the nuclear bomb was completely completed and the Pilot temporarily returned to the moon to berth, everyone's nervousness finally reached its peak.
Because the planet of destruction, which threatens the entire human civilization, is about to reach the vicinity of Mars.
However, the more at this moment, the more everyone firmly believes that the Pilot and the solution of the Destruction Star designed by Xu Yun will definitely be able to develop in the expected direction.
Human civilization is the ultimate winner of this crisis.
During this period, people from all over the world gathered in the official live broadcast room of the Alliance for Human Space Security to encourage each other and witness the arrival of this great moment.
