Chapter 482 Bad News Response Plan


Chapter 482 Bad News-Countermeasures

The mecha competition was going well, but the Abyss side also started to make villains.

Find a way to calm down the big beauty, and you can almost start the original plan.

At this time, the appearance of suspected alien friends still made Wang Yi sigh

"Okay, we can't ignore it. Let's announce it directly and let the various aerospace departments confirm it."

"Okay, the top 128 have come out. We can start inviting players to Penglai. Some reporters want to accompany them. Is that allowed?"

"The top 128 are already qualified to lead people, so the rewards can be paid in advance. If you want to receive treatment, the quota can also be used."

Wang Yi said casually.

Nowadays, the ‘Starry Sky Cup’ is just a trivial matter. In fact, it was originally meant to be a little bit of fun, but I didn’t expect that it would attract such a huge popularity.

It's just a soft tissue repair surgery, nothing more.

But it doesn’t matter if the heat is high, it can save a lot of trouble here.

"In addition, regarding Schuma, should we arrange to directly help pick him up? He has reached the top 128 as the first in the group stage. In terms of operation, he has a high chance of winning."

Lin Shiqin's words also made Wang Yi nodded.

"Okay, let's arrange two medical robots from the trauma team."

The human body itself is a precision instrument. In fact, all treatments are theoretically based on the body's own conditions.

The medical cabin looks amazing, but in fact, the effect is just like this in Wang Yi's eyes.

Medical technology combined with some healing magic methods were, at least in his eyes, very crude.

But for ordinary people, it is already very strong...

……

"The top 128 of the 'Star Cup' are out! Shuma's victory in the group stage is really inspiring!"

"Jordan's sword never grows old, he won all the group matches!"

"Kobe Bryant is back as king..."

"Bolt breaks the limits again..."

"..."

Entertainment news usually has its own breadth of communication, and it is relatively more popular among people!

Maybe for some serious news, you can just read the title to get a general idea, but for a lot of attention that can bring you pleasure, you will obviously invest more!

This is the current situation in the mecha competition of the ‘Starry Sky Cup’.

It not only has the latest VR platform elements, but also has sufficient entertainment effects.

Many superstars gathered together!

This kind of topic can naturally detonate the whole world!

"What kind of monsters are they? They are driving the labor and management to the point of being autistic."

PDD, who had been eliminated from the competition, also began to become a matryoshka anchor, using some wonderful replays of previous games to give more in-depth explanations.

Compared with other broadcasters, in addition to its own traffic advantage, PDD has another important point: he has reached the top 1024!

If those superstars were just hanging out in the e-sports and gaming circles before they left the game, then it would be natural for PDD to enter the group stage, and even the knockout rounds would not be surprising.

But after the stars converge, it’s really too difficult!

A large number of promising anchors and professional players have failed!

Among the top 128 who entered the knockout round, there are only two players who can be regarded as born in e-sports. One is Feike and the other is Puppy.

This kind of solo competition is very suitable for what these two people are good at.

However, the most important thing is that these two people just barely squeezed in, and they both qualified for second place in the group with difficult scores.

Moreover, both of them relied on medium and long-range means at the same time, relying on their familiarity with the rules and control of BP to fight.

In fact, it can be seen from all aspects that they have reached their limit and the knockout round will definitely be a one-day trip.

PDD can be considered very good if it can advance to the group stage.

In fact, the e-sports circle is actually not bad. At least two people have made it into the knockout rounds, and there are also some figures in the group stage.

The worst thing was that the top people in the entertainment industry were completely wiped out!

That is to say, several veteran action stars such as Uncle Long, Li Jie, Zhou Billy and Chang Wei entered the group stage, and none of them entered the knockout round.

The younger generation is even worse, most of them can't win more than a few games in the primaries.

When Uncle Long was interviewed by Dao, he smiled bitterly and shook his head

"I'm really old. The players in this game are really crazy, and I'm best suited to playing in the asteroid area. I can usually only get the best of three games in the group stage once. I really can't help it, but luckily it's over. I got a spot, and I also want to cure this pain.”

Currently, the one carrying the flag in the entertainment industry is Liu Xiaoke, who has not officially participated in the competition.

There are still video clips of highlights comparing her performance matches with other top players.

As the number of matches increased and various astonishing operations appeared, I slowly discovered the horror of Liu Xiaoke's ability to defeat his opponents in twos and threes.

This is really strong!

However, Liu Xiaoke wasn't too interested in reporters who wanted to interview him later, so he just promoted the new movie he was currently filming and didn't talk much about anything else.

He just had a surprised look on his face and said, 'Isn't this just a matter of having brains? ’ expression.

It really made a lot of people feel a little bit defensive.

Among the freshly released top 128, Schuma is still a very special player.

When it comes to status and fame, because it is not a sports category at all, or it is not in the same era, it is difficult for many players to say who is more famous than others.

There are different proportions in different groups of people.

But Shuma's current situation is undoubtedly the worst among many players!

"Considering the current situation of some players, we are willing to release the rewards for the top 128 in advance. When we come to Penglai this time, we can conduct a treatment first. As for whether there is a follow-up treatment plan, we also need to check it in detail first. …”

The official announcement by Umbrella and World Corporation at the same time undoubtedly aroused widespread praise.

At the same time, this made the players who entered the knockout rounds feel very excited, and they all expressed that they would arrive as soon as possible!

In the past, there were no flights between Penglai and the outside world.

After Penglai announced that it would be open to the outside world, airlines were actually almost over the threshold.

However, there are still no fixed flights yet.

Penglai itself will have relatively high visa requirements and will set a reception limit, and the specific process will definitely be announced after the game.

Originally, Umbrella was planning to arrange a temporary plane to pick them up, but then each of the contestants revealed that they had private planes!

As long as Penglai is willing to let them go, they can come directly!

Even several ace pilots and military leaders who have also entered the knockout rounds have expressed their willingness to charter flights.

For this situation, the arrangement was naturally not too rigid, but it was stated that Umbrella would reimburse the travel expenses.

This directly caused all players to start preparing quickly.

Declare as soon as possible and want to come to Penglai as quickly as possible...

But just as the players were preparing to fly over, some media reported that Umbrella had specially arranged for two medical robots to help pick up Shuma.

Umbrella officials released another blockbuster news that has nothing to do with the Starry Sky Cup.

"The 'Starry Sky Cup' has been so successful and has such a huge influence. We were caught off guard, but unfortunately, we have to announce some not-so-good news..."

Chapter 644

Just when almost everyone was paying attention to the 'Starry Sky Cup', the fiery atmosphere completely diluted the previous tragedies of the Resident Evil and Abyss Invasion, and gradually forgot everything.

Umbrella's sudden announcement still caught people off guard.

"Based on the continuous exposure of the early warning satellites we launched in advance, coupled with the repair of artificial intelligence, it was discovered that a suspected extrasolar star appeared at the XXXX coordinates."

Umbrella directly sent out the location of the asteroid codenamed 'Predator', allowing major space agencies to conduct follow-up confirmations.

The starry sky is too big and vast, and it is impossible to stare at all areas in real time.

However, after Umbrella announced the specific position, relying on today's observation technology, it was enough for major aerospace departments to capture this abnormal asteroid!

Umbrella's sudden bombshell news can be said to have caused a mild panic on a global level.

Da Meili finally pulled back some of the stock market, crying for his father and mother again.

The CPI index reached a new high.

The talker who had recently lowered his profile couldn't help but curse.

Damn it!

If we don’t announce it sooner or later, it’s too much to do it when we are almost stable!

But scolding one's mother is the right thing to do, this matter really needs to be taken seriously!

If the New York invasion had not occurred, and the alien corpses had not been salvaged before, it was just an asteroid from outside the solar system, and it would not be something that everyone could not accept.

The universe is so big, so some strange things can float in, right?

But after the previous examples, Umbrella also specially reminded me that this matter may not be so simple!

Umbrella had said before that the thing was sending out signals and the earth's coordinates were captured!

From the front, it arrived through a strange space transmission technology. Who can guarantee that this asteroid is not an alien invader?

Anyway, it can be clearly seen from that New York invasion that these things are not good birds at all!

Full of destructive desire!

There wasn't even room for negotiation. Once he showed up, he just wanted to kill and kill.

This has caused people to pay less attention to the 'Starry Sky Cup' competition for the time being. After all, the knockout rounds have not started yet, and the players are still preparing to fly to Penglai.

During the intervening time, most of the attention was focused on the asteroid codenamed 'Predator'.

Not long after, major astronomical institutions issued some corresponding evaluation reports, confirming Umbrella's words from the side.

"This is indeed an object from outside the solar system, and it is coming towards our earth."

"The shape of this celestial body is very strange. The ratio of length to width reaches 1:10. It is a long strip. It is more like a spaceship than an asteroid!"

"But the speed is not too exaggerated. It should be about 30 kilometers per second. It will take a long time to reach the earth."

"..."

With the speeches of major space agencies, people are both nervous and relieved.

The nervous thing is that the confirmation is completed, this does not seem to be a good thing!

What makes me relieved is that it doesn't seem to be going very fast. It's not the kind of terrifying flying object that crosses the solar system in an instant or moves at sub-light speed as imagined.

If technology is in a state of being overwhelmed, there will really be a sense of powerlessness.

How many years has the earth developed? Now it can only be regarded as a preliminary exploration of space, jumping around here.

As a result, if someone could accurately span such a long distance, they would really be screwed!

Now that I'm taking my time, it seems like it's no big deal.

And sure enough, major astronomical institutions and Umbrella have issued some explanations.

"Whether it is judging from the original alien corpse or the invasion of New York, this alien creature itself may not be following a similar route to us. It may be magic power + body."

"The evolution of living things does not necessarily lead to intelligence, and intelligence does not necessarily lead to technology. The birth of living things is much simpler, but the birth of us humans is definitely due to various coincidences."

"..."

This statement is certainly correct in theory, but the main purpose is to appease the people and at least prevent them from panic.

Because no matter what, this is something that has crossed the starry sky and arrived at the doorstep!

No matter how crooked the order is, at least they are coming!

Umbrella even issued its own calculations and simulation results

"According to Red Queen's calculations, this thing is accelerating towards us. Preliminary calculations are that it will enter the earth-moon orbit in one year. If the acceleration increases again, this time may be shortened."

Immediately afterwards, a certain song also issued their statement

"Our 'Don Quixote' has also calculated similar results. The acceleration that this thing suddenly gained is not gravity, but more like it is generated by itself. Therefore, the threat level should be increased."

One year!

Or even shorter? !

Later, some media found Umbrella to leave sincere messages and inquiries

"What is Umbrella's plan? Just let them come like this? Can your company's mass projector launch an attack?"

In fact, this question is the most frequently asked question on the Internet.

After all, Umbrella's mass projector is here, the launch of more than 20,000 satellites, and the power of the 'bombardment' are undoubtedly quite shocking.

"Unfortunately, the energy provided by the mass projector cannot reach this level, but we are also conducting some research. Let alone destroying it, at least find a way to launch an unmanned detector to understand the situation."

Umbrella's answer disappointed many people.

But for workers in the aerospace field, it was not a surprise.

The quality projector has refreshed their three views, and they view it completely with a feeling of worship.

But even so, the mass projector itself 'generally' follows the basic rules.

This is indeed something that is theoretically possible.

And Umbrella itself is definitely designed for orbital launch.

The vast majority of space equipment is in low orbit within 2,000 kilometers, which is closer to the earth, takes clearer pictures, and can avoid the Van Allen radiation belts produced by the earth's magnetic field and solar wind.

The main purpose of Umbrella's mass projector should also be this.

So 20,000 satellites are like dropping dumplings.

Although low-satellite orbit will still be affected by the atmosphere to a certain extent, overall it is the most cost-effective.

They estimate that Umbrella may have difficulty reaching the 35,000-kilometer geostationary satellite orbit.

Not to mention attacking an asteroid from such a long distance.

To put it bluntly, even if it can really be attacked, how much destructive power can it produce?

Directly relying on physical impact?

However, there was a consensus on launching unmanned detectors to understand the situation.

Several major space powers have successively issued statements that they will launch probes, and this time they are unprecedentedly prepared to cooperate with each other to share their needs!

Da Meili directly stated that he was considering launching a nuclear bomb to try to hit it!

I also dug out drawings from the previous Star Wars era.

and were introduced publicly.

"Send an unmanned probe to observe the situation of the asteroid, and at the same time try to land our explosive equipment on the asteroid, rely on the drill bit on the equipment to penetrate deep into the asteroid and detonate it..."

The space environment is sparse and almost a vacuum.

The direct detonation of nuclear bombs mainly involves some rays, and the power of surface explosions against meteorites and asteroids is quite limited.

But in theory, as long as it can get inside and start detonating, it will still be lethal enough.

In fact, this has always been a preliminary plan, but I didn’t expect it to be used one day...

Obviously, the beautiful girl also suffered from PTSD due to the last abyss invasion.

Stop talking, I will take shortcuts and not detours!

Just grow mushrooms.

So as not to plant seeds on your own head...

Chapter 645: Countermeasures

Nuclear bomb!

Something that originally seemed very far away has recently been brought up for discussion again and again and appeared in front of everyone.

Even Big Beauty himself used a dual package of tactics and strategy against New York.

How long has it been since?

Come again?

But fortunately, this time it is to deal with threats in the stars, not on the earth.

The fact that humans have this ace weapon with theoretically unlimited power has stabilized many panicked emotions.

Although the emergence of the nuclear bomb itself has always been the sword of Damocles hanging over mankind, the nuclear bomb itself has also brought many years of relative peace.

At least this is the case for several major countries.

In the face of the previous invasion of New York, nuclear bombs also demonstrated a devastating destructive power, containing the source.

Now that we are facing threats from the stars again, it inexplicably brings people a sense of security.

We have a trump card!

And he had successfully eliminated the enemy before!

This time it should be easier to defend the enemy from outside the country!

After all, most ordinary people don't know very well how difficult it is for nuclear bombs to explode meteorites and asteroids in a space environment.

The opponent itself is a high-speed moving asteroid, and it has now reached a relative speed of 30 kilometers per second.

It is extremely difficult to 'land' on that asteroid by launching it from the Earth.

After climbing up, you still have to drill a hole, which is even more difficult.

Coupled with the possible interceptions from the opponent.

So in fact, for those who know the principle, they understand the difficulty!

How many countries have this capability for lunar probes and Mars probes?

But at least the gimmick of nuclear bomb attack was able to stabilize the spreading panic.

For a time, most people became confident, thinking that it would be solved as easily as the one in New York, and because they discovered it in advance, there would not be much loss!

Anyway, it is up to each country to deal with it, and it has nothing to do with ordinary people.

"Not to mention, these satellites launched by Umbrella are really useful."

"They fulfilled their previous commitments and indeed discovered threats far in advance."

"SX also used this as an excuse at the beginning, but obviously they were mainly targeting the interior of the earth."

"Actually, SX is quite powerful. It uses recycled rockets and has launched many satellites so far."

"This time, we can only rely on rockets to target the asteroid, and the limitations of the mass projector itself are also reflected."

"Can we just let the mass projector launch nuclear bombs? Can we easily launch a large number of nuclear bombs?"

"This is murder. That kind of acceleration may directly cause the fissile material to hit the critical point and then detonate. Hydrogen bombs also use fissile materials to detonate."

"Let's play music and dance! I also want to watch 'Starry Sky Cup'!"

"Haha, for us ordinary people, we really only need to pay attention to the 'Starry Sky Cup'"

"..."

……

Compared with the peace on the Internet, various countries have also quickly finalized launch plans (the wrangling process will be briefly skipped and cannot be written in detail).

The first is the unmanned probe. In order to ensure foolproofness, a saturation launch method must be adopted. The three major aerospace powers, SX Corporation and Umbrella launched a total of five unmanned probes.

At the same time, they also began to improve their research on asteroid earth-penetrating landers.

After all, it was just a drawing product from the Star Wars era, and it was only theoretically feasible. It would definitely encounter various problems when it was actually put into use.

At this time, there was nothing to be ashamed of, so Umbrella was directly brought into the group. After all, in terms of materials, Umbrella was absolutely unique and had no rivals.

"The parameters can be calculated accordingly by both the Red Queen and Don Quixote. It shouldn't be a big problem because we don't know the specific material of the asteroid yet, so we can only stack the drill bits as high as possible. Our company can Bring out the highest strength alloys currently available to do the drill job.”

Umbrella is quite generous in its willingness to manufacture high-strength drill bits.

"If we launch a few more landers carrying nuclear bombs and add Umbrella's drills, we will always succeed. But the question now is, what about their own external attacks? Will they intercept them?"
< br>

"There is no other way. For the time being, we can only do our best and obey fate."

"The attack methods in space are still a bit low for us at present, but as the target gets closer, we will have more and more methods that we can adopt."

"Our SX side is developing a 'starship'. If we get full support from all parties, there may be a chance to remedy the situation."

Masla also proposed a new plan of theirs, using artificial intelligence to complete the bundling of rocket engines and ensuring power through fine-tuning!

Greatly improve the rocket's carrying capacity!

At present, the problem of bundling three or four engines is not big, but if you want to complete the bundling of dozens of engines, the difficulty will quickly increase. A mistake in any place may turn into fireworks.

But it is undeniable that this is indeed the biggest shortcut to quickly increase thrust.

Compared with developing a rocket engine with greater thrust, it saves too much cost.

It is equivalent to sacrificing reliability in exchange for cost performance, which is still an inherent business thinking.

But at this time, this is the relatively simplest way to implement it.

High-power rocket engines cannot be achieved overnight, but they are much more feasible when bundled together.

With the powerful functions of artificial intelligence, there is still an opportunity to complete the fine-tuning and control of many rocket engines.

A certain song now also has "Don Quixote" to coordinate with it, so there is only one key point for SX Company at the moment.

Make money!

Because the engine bundle is unreliable, you definitely can't bet on just one. It would be best to build a few more to try to increase the odds.

However, for the time being, this point has not been discussed, and the design and production of their respective aircraft and landers have begun.

But obviously, SX Company did not completely follow common sense.

Originally, the reliability of this matter was temporarily low, and the outside world did not know about it.

It is also generally believed that since the use of nuclear bombs is already prepared, it does not matter.

It has been solved easily before!

However, after SX company did not receive an obvious reply, their founder directly started to speak on social media

"In order to cope with this crisis, our company has developed a new rocket model. Once successful, it will be able to complete the construction of heavy-thrust rockets at the lowest cost and deal with various problems from the stars..."

Subsequently, the official website of SX Company also released a concept drawing of the starship.

It’s actually easy to understand through pictures, and ordinary people can easily understand it!

Bundling them together will definitely increase the thrust.

And once it succeeds, it can prove that this path is feasible, and the potential is great if we continue to stack the numbers.

Although SX Company's recyclable rocket Falcon was instantly slapped in the face by Umbrella's mass projector when it was first launched.

Constant friction when stepping on the ground.

But it is undeniable that before Umbrella launched its own rocket, SX Company did have quite a strong dominance!

Mass launchers have limitations. Only Umbrella's own materials can withstand them, but SX Company can still continue to use them commercially.

And this time it was obvious that the mass launcher could not do anything against the asteroid, and the advantage returned to SX Company's side again!

"Sure enough, Rockets are the way to go."

"Yes, there are still things that cannot be dealt with in the evil ways of taking advantage of others."

"Are you connoting Umbrella?"

"Uh, no, no, don't get me wrong..."

"Since the starship still has reliability problems for the time being, then allocate money!"

"Yes, the whole world should pay money to support this project, because it is for all mankind!"

"In order to prevent the New York incident from happening again, everyone must support it!"

"For civilization!"

"..."

This sudden disclosure by the founder of SX Company can be said to make all parties a little dissatisfied.

This is true even of the Great Beautiful Authority itself.

This is forced uterus!

However, the other party has already done what they have done, so now it is natural to find a way to turn the original bad thing into a good thing.

After all, this is our own company, and Umbrella has been stealing the limelight recently. It's time to advocate for it, and at the same time, boost the sluggish economy.

Under the continuous impact, even if the money printing machine is smoking, there are still ups and downs. It's time for some exciting news!

However, Umbrella didn't take it seriously at all when faced with some of the actions of Big Beauty and SX Company.

Anyway, after the announcement, they seemed to start focusing on the ‘Starry Sky Cup’ again, without paying any attention to it.

It was still early, and the launch of the rocket did not happen overnight.

If you announce it, just announce it, it's none of our business.

Umbrella is just a company...

————

Update completed~

In fact, from a personal perspective, engine bundling is indeed a very good direction. It should be the most cost-effective way to increase thrust and save costs. It is complementary to each other as AI technology becomes more and more powerful.

However, the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the reliability is relatively weak, and a problem in one place may lead to complete reimbursement. At least for now, this is the case, so even if it succeeds in the future, it will be more suitable for some commercial purposes and pay attention to cost performance and efficiency. launch, but not very suitable for manned launches.

Of course, for the capital-oriented West, it would not be surprising to see it used for manned transport in the future. ​
