Calls from all over the world have found the master company. The chance is one in 7,000, which is an extremely dangerous probability. Humans cannot take risks and wait for God's decision. This is already the age of science and technology, and humans already have the means to control asteroids: space-based weapons!
On June 3, at 9 a.m. local time in China, Zhao Qingyun, who is responsible for the safety of Gaoshou Company, gave a speech. Gaoshou Company will make every effort to carry out the plan to destroy the asteroid. However, in view of the imperfection of the Gaoshou Company's space satellite, it is unable to lock the orbit of the asteroid and requires international assistance.
The United States was the first to respond. NASA monitors all asteroids that have been observed in space and are harmful to the earth almost all year round. Later, the United Kingdom also expressed its full support. By evening, more than a hundred satellites around the world were locked on Apophis.
That night, the public channel of the Master Company received all the known details of Apophis. Data from more than a dozen countries around the world made this information extremely accurate. Whether it was time, orbit, or even size, the error was all within a thousand. Less than one ten thousandth; only density cannot be measured.
Seeing this data, Zhang Jingyuan sighed silently. If the whole world can unite, human beings are expected to truly enter the space age in five years, unlike now, which is still in the transition from the space age to the space age. It's a pity that everyone has their own interests and demands, but they never thought that the combined force would be more powerful. Of course, the real world cannot be calculated like this, there are more complex things.
Putting this matter aside, Gaoshou Company held an emergency high-level meeting, and all the senior officials related to this matter were in place. At 11 o'clock in the night, the Gaoshou Company headquarters building was brightly lit, and on the large screen in the huge conference hall, a schematic diagram of the changing Apophis orbit was evolving. Of course, although it is a schematic diagram, it is extremely accurate. However, the master company of this meeting did not agree to the request for a world public meeting, but discussed it internally.
Because in such a meeting, the core interests and secrets of the master company will inevitably be involved.
Now, except for Liu Haibo, who is performing a mission in space, all relevant personnel are in place. Looking at the serious people around him, Zhang Jingyuan suddenly smiled, "Don't be so nervous, there's still a month left. Besides, it's not like the Master Company has no experience in destroying asteroids. But this time what I'm thinking of is not destroying asteroids, but :Capture!
As the global space competition accelerates, supplies on the earth have become increasingly tense. Just a few days ago, one-third of the mines in Africa have been declared exhausted, which has led to a further increase in the price of global mineral resources and greatly restricted countries such as Germany and Japan that do not have sufficient mineral resources.
So, this time I thought, if we could try to capture an asteroid. Even if it were all rock, it would be of immeasurable value in space. For example, the main component of our current photovoltaic cells is silicon wafers, and the source of these silicon wafers is stone, which is refined step by step from quartz sand. So even if the asteroid is all stone, because it is in space, it is also a mobile gold mine. It would be too wasteful to directly smash the asteroid.
The previous comets were nothing because they were mainly ice cubes; but this asteroid is not only rocky, but also comes to us on its own initiative, so we cannot give up no matter what.
More importantly, please see that according to the above reflection analysis and comparison of spectral wavelength, color position, etc., we can find that the surface of the Apophis asteroid contains a large amount of iron element. We don't even rule out that the asteroid has a lot of iron inside it. The role and status of iron need no explanation.
In fact, according to the current development pattern of Gaoshou Company, steel is still the most powerful weapon for mankind to conquer nature. The rest, whether it is titanium, aluminum, magnesium, copper and other metals, can only be regarded as ornaments to decorate steel.
In addition, I analyzed it and found that the earth's revolution speed is about 29.79 kilometers per second; Apophis approaches the earth faster than the earth, with a relative speed of 15 kilometers per second, and the real revolution speed is about 45 kilometers per second.
At this speed, if we calculate the orbit of the planet first and accelerate the space shuttle in advance, we can completely capture the asteroid.
This is a gold mine given to us by God!
Mu Xinghai, what do you think of this plan? Is it feasible? ”
Soon, Zhang Jingyuan turned his attention to Mu Xinghai, who was deep in thought. In the field, this is an absolute expert in space shuttle piloting. Of course, Dongfang Ying, who is responsible for the design, is also not simple.
"I think it's feasible," Mu Xinghai answered a little slowly, "But where will we put it after we capture it? Will it be dangerous to put it in orbit around the earth? And if it is placed far away, management will be difficult. .”
"This is not a problem. Just a few days ago, we have completed the development of intelligent programs. We can transplant a set of intelligent programs to control the space shuttle, and place two space shuttles on the captured asteroid, responsible for adjusting the orbit at any time; according to With the current development speed of Gaoshou Company, when the construction of the New Continental Space Base is completed by the end of this year, we will be able to have our hands free to deal with this treasure.”
"Okay, I'll gather the boys and start the exercise now. But I guess it will be difficult to capture the asteroid." Mu Xinghai frowned, "I calculated that the asteroid weighs at least 49 million tons, which is still according to the rock The texture is calculated; but we must be prepared for the eventuality. If it is filled with a large amount of iron, the weight may reach 140 million tons. Of course, this is the limit weight; but in calculation, the limit situation must be calculated.
Calculated based on the weight of 140 million tons, the asteroid's speed is 45 kilometers per second; it carries 1.4175x10^21 joules of kinetic energy, which is equivalent to approximately 3.9375x10^14 kilowatt hours of electricity. (From this number, we can see the harm of asteroids to the earth; by the way, this number is really scary. I don’t know if I don’t calculate it.)
It is impossible for the space shuttle to use up all the electrical energy, so if we calculate it based on 4x10^14 kilowatt-hours of electricity, it is 40 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity! Now, the latest and most massive Rise space shuttle of the Master Company only carries 600 million kilowatt-hours of electrical energy. Last year, the total global power generation was less than 90 trillion kilowatt hours; China's own power generation was only a little over 9 trillion.
To be honest, this seems really difficult.
We need at least sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-seven sorties of the latest Uprising space shuttle!
Personally, this is a number that can only be looked up to.
In addition, all aircraft need to accelerate, and even need to carry a large number of steel cables, carbon fiber locks, etc. These must be taken into account, and the energy must be increased by at least one thousandth. ”
Mu Xinghai's calculation data suddenly cooled down Zhang Jingyuan's ambition.
"No, we should calculate it this way." Dongfang Ying took over Mu Xinghai's calculation results. "We should calculate the Earth's ability to capture space asteroids. As long as the calculation is accurate, we can use the Earth's gravity to make the asteroids orbit the Earth like a satellite.
The earth's orbiting speed is 7.9 kilometers per second, and the escape velocity is 11.2 kilometers per second. According to extreme calculations, Apophis can orbit the earth at a speed of 11 kilometers per second (near-Earth speed).
Secondly, the earth itself is also revolving around the sun at a speed of 29.79 kilometers, and this speed cannot be lost.
According to the current orbit calculation of Apophis, there is a slight angle with the earth's orbit, which can be ignored. Assuming that we make Apophis' orbit around the Earth parallel to the Earth's orbit, then in addition to its own orbiting speed and energy, the Apophis asteroid also has the speed and energy of the Earth orbiting the sun.
Calculating the limit energy in this way is approximately: 0.5x140 million tons Trillion kWh of electricity. (I don’t know if this calculation is correct. Please help me calculate it.)
Uh... Okay, although it's still a bit big, it should be feasible. You need to be more careful during the process, and there shouldn't be any mistakes in the calculations.
In addition, we actually calculated based on the fact that Apophis is an iron core. If the core is rocky, this number will be discounted by 30%.
Moreover, Gaoshou Company now has a total of 400 space shuttles with executive capabilities. According to my calculations, the total electrical energy carried by all these space shuttles is 60 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity; and the batteries currently stored by Gaoshou Company have a reserve of 100 billion kilowatt-hours. In addition, we Full production can reach 200 billion degrees in one month. All aircraft can be modified. If 400 space shuttles have all the empty seats filled with batteries, they can carry a total of about 300 billion kilowatt hours of electricity.
In addition, according to calculations, the country currently has about 500 billion kilowatt-hours of physical battery power storage, and there are about 300 Feilong fighter jets that carry about 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. The country is fully engaged in production and can produce 400 billion kilowatt-hours a month. All Dragon space shuttles should be able to be modified to increase the total power carrying capacity to 200 billion kilowatt-hours.
The total of all space shuttles can carry 500 billion degrees, and there will be an additional 470 billion degrees of physical batteries remaining.
This way the total amount of electricity is close to one trillion kilowatt-hours, so you should be able to give it a try. But it needs to be discussed with the state. It is basically impossible to complete it simply by relying on the expert company itself. "Looking at these numbers, not to mention everyone, even Zhang Jingyuan was shocked!
Oh shit, I just want to get a rock to play with, okay?
If you find it wonderful, please collect and recommend it. Thank you very much.
