On the 12th, China's most well-known reporter Tan Xu found the master company and applied to accompany the live broadcast. At this time, China had restored power supply across the country; for a while, the land of China was in an uproar.
But this request is really embarrassing. To be honest, China was not fully prepared for this operation, and the success rate was only 70%! Because the true texture of the asteroid has not yet been completely determined.
If it were all made of iron, then the entire operation would consume approximately 2 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity; in fact, even with international support, China's electricity reserves so far are only 1.2 trillion!
According to the existing data, there is a 70% chance that Apophis has an iron core and a rocky surface.
If it can be 100% successful, then no matter whether it is Gaoshou Company or Huaxia, it will definitely be 100% publicized; but now the success rate is only 70%, they dare not risk publicity. What to do if you fail? The impact on the confidence of the entire Chinese people is inestimable.
However, as a young national president in the new era, he has a different view. In this era, we must go through tests, including failures! A nation that cannot admit failure is not qualified to take off in this great era!
The chairman said: We can publicize the details first. Even if it fails, through appropriate publicity, it can become a driving force for development. If human beings want to develop, they must face failure.
With this in mind, on the evening of the 12th, Huaxia National Publicly released all the details of this event.
Looking at the astronomical figures, looking at thousands of space shuttles arranging flowers in the sky, looking at the huge space bases photographed in the sky, looking at the boundless photovoltaic bases, a feeling of pride spreads across the land of China ;Although it is hard, it is worth it.
Of course, the last news highlighted that the success rate of this asteroid capture plan is only 70% due to hasty preparation. Please forgive me in case of failure.
With this report, coupled with the reprinting across the country, a foundation has been laid for the public. After all, such things cannot be covered up under any circumstances. In this case, it is better to share it openly and be calm even if it fails. acceptance. Moreover, if it fails, it will only lose some power. The hardware of the space shuttle is here, who dares to say anything.
In fact, seeing thousands of the world's top space shuttles in space, the pride of the Chinese people has skyrocketed; on the contrary, the international situation has become even more depressed.
Seeing that China's growth can no longer be stopped, other countries in the world have finally learned from the painful experience: So what, should they consider establishing a real United Nations, or a federal government?
Not to mention, this opinion put forward by the United States has received too much support. Huaxia is now a dominant player, and the remaining players from second place to 100th overall cannot compete with Huaxia. In other words, the balance of power in this world has finally become unbalanced again.
But now no one cares about much else, everyone is focused on space.
At noon on the ground in China on the 12th, the space shuttle in space had already begun preparations. All the gaps in each space shuttle are filled with batteries; every three space shuttles are grouped together, carrying carbon fiber mesh and starting to accumulate. The whole world held its breath to watch the live broadcast from space. But for this live broadcast, Dai Xu was not qualified because no one sent him to space.
This is a live broadcast from a satellite. Watching a flower of technology slowly blooming in space, the gray carbon fiber is flashing with thrilling magnificence at this moment. The number of space shuttles has increased to 1,200, and it is even more so on these flowers of technology. The most dazzling stamen.
Apophis in the distance can already be seen clearly through the high-definition focus camera on the satellite. The gray and white color seems to be the color common to all small novae.
"The third echelon will set off first!" Mu Xinghai gave the order coldly, and the real challenge officially began. In order to welcome the asteroid, arrangements need to be started 48 hours in advance. Allow enough backup time for error correction.
The huge New Continent space base is rotating even more slowly, and the largest 500-meter-long rail muzzle is always locked on the asteroid; if nothing can be done, it must be destroyed as soon as possible. This is the last self-rescue measure; because no one knows what the consequences will be if the operation to capture the asteroid fails. A 10-kilogram projectile will explode with full force, enough to break an asteroid into pieces. Even an iron core can change its trajectory through continuous shooting.
Asteroids in space are approaching quickly and are tumbling. The irregular shape adds a lot of difficulties to the interception and capture work. The change of any point at every moment must be accurately calculated so that the space shuttle can accurately cover the asteroid with the carbon fiber mesh at the most correct time.
On the ground, many astronomy enthusiasts can already directly observe the scenes in space through astronomical telescopes - of course, given that the earth is a ball (-_-), only some areas can be seen; in other places, only satellites can be observed Live broadcast.
"The second echelon is ready, let's go!" In space, orderly operations are still going on.
At this time, the flight formation of the third echelon had begun to accelerate.
In order to reduce the impact on the earth, Apophis must be stopped before it approaches the earth, so the space shuttle will now leave the earth's magnetic field and wait in space when the asteroid Apophis approaches 100,000 kilometers. , it is necessary to start slowly and accelerate in the same direction as the asteroid. This can ensure that when encountering the asteroid, the two speeds are equal, and the aircraft speed is slightly faster.
"The second echelon is ready!"
"The first echelon sets off! The new formation is ready!" Mu Xinghai stared at the screen, feeling very nervous in his heart. If you succeed, you will leave your name in history; if you fail, you will also leave your name in history...
Because this action is destined to be the most important turning point in human civilization, bar none. Such an important action will definitely be recorded in history.
Even more nervous are the new students like Yang Zhi who have just taken up the position. Among them are new students from the master company who have just successfully received devil training, and there are also national pilots who have just come into contact with the space shuttle. These people will be used as a reserve team.
However, the reserve team is not static, but must keep pace with the big team and be able to step up as soon as possible if necessary. This is a somewhat difficult task for new students.
"The reserve team sets off!" There are 500 people in the reserve team, but at this time they all use remote control. It’s just that when you get to a position far away from the earth in space, the time delay will be very serious (when controlled in space, a delay of 0.1 seconds is a serious number); at this time, the students and new pilots, You can only rely on yourself. A total of 4 huge technological flowers are advancing slowly in space - of course, the slowness is due to the space background. In fact, they are not slow. To escape the gravity of the earth, they must reach a speed of at least 11.2 kilometers per second. However, this speed is as slow as a snail on the scale of space.
