This is a dangerous and beautiful flower.
The petals are the space shuttle, the calyx is a large amount of carbon fiber mesh, and the huge asteroid is the flower chamber in the middle.
The water mist sprayed by the S series engine makes a rainbow road appear in space that is hundreds of thousands of kilometers long. It is as beautiful as a ribbon surrounding the earth. The farthest distance is 400,000 kilometers away from the earth, and the nearest place is 20 kilometers away from the earth. Thousands of kilometers. And now, this ribbon is still extending.
A satellite captured this picture, which was later called the cutting of humans into space - an unprecedented cutting ceremony.
All the space shuttles are still retreating, and Apophis, carrying huge energy, is the well-deserved god of destruction. Perhaps the 120,000-ton thrust of all space shuttles is not small, but compared to this iron-core asteroid weighing nearly 100 million tons, it is still a bit insignificant.
"What a bad feeling!" Yang Zhi looked at the dial with some complaints; the engine was already working at full capacity, but the plane was retreating at full strength. This feeling was really unpleasant, extremely unpleasant - but thinking about it in another direction, it was also a limit!
Of course, this is not the only bad thing. The orbit of Apophis is unstable, and there are now signs of slight overturn. These seemingly insignificant changes will cause severe turbulence when applied to the aircraft, even if this effect has been removed through ropes. The same goes for shrinking thousands of times.
"Beep!" The red light flashes twice and then goes out.
Yang Zhi sighed, this must be the seventh battery running out of power. If this continues, it won't be long before I have to return to base to replace the battery. These newly rolled-out aircraft have not yet had time to undergo extensive modifications. Therefore, compared with those space shuttles that have been modified, the power of our own space shuttle is not particularly sufficient, which is also one of the reasons for being classified as a reserve force.
Of course, Yang Zhi is already very satisfied. He is very satisfied to be able to stand out from thousands of operators, become one of the 240 passers, and finally win his own space shuttle.
Especially as one of the top 50 was rewarded with a brand new space shuttle.
It's just that Yang Zhi hasn't had enough self-admiration yet. A burst of noisy exclamations with swear words in the headset brought Yang Zhi back to reality.
I looked up and saw, yo ho! One end of the asteroid Apophis ellipse cracked!
But think about it, the asteroid is not very strong originally. There is not enough gravity to turn itself into a sphere, and there is not enough gravity to make the loose body solid. Because the asteroid's orbit is unstable and has no atmosphere protection, it is often hit. The dense craters on it are the best proof that the overall structure has long been loose. And now, after everyone's tossing, it finally collapsed under the weight!
It's just that due to the severe rolling of the asteroid before, it has already been wrapped in a carbon fiber net; a large number of fragments are bound by the strong carbon fiber and have nowhere to escape. But those tiny fragments, like powdery debris, emitted a cloud of turbid sand in space, spreading over tens of thousands of miles in space. Especially after receiving interference from the space shuttle, these sediments float unbridled in space. Some debris hit the shuttle and crackled.
broken!
Everyone was shocked. Not all space shuttles can withstand such debris. Even for the space shuttle of the Master Company, the canopy is a weak point - it may be stronger than the traditional one, but after all it is not as good as the steel among special materials.
Because the carbon fiber mesh is meant to trap asteroids, the mesh size is one meter wide. Even if it is wrapped in a ball, there will still be one-meter-sized holes left in some places; and now, a large number of broken rocks are flying all over the sky. The largest, Basically it's about one meter. But as the asteroid continues to swing, some carbon fiber mesh is being worn and cut by rocks...
The situation is extremely critical!
Boom... There was a violent explosion in the headset, and a ball of purple-blue plasma exploded in space. Strong electric sparks spread wantonly thousands of meters away.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
A space shuttle explodes! The powerful electricity it carried turned into a nuclear bomb in space at this moment. Hundreds of millions of degrees of electricity exploded instantly. The strong electromagnetic force enveloped a ten-mile radius. All electronic instruments within the range were scrapped, and the space shuttle was instantly lost. All self-control.
Even the spacesuit had to be switched to manual control.
"Come back! All injured space shuttles return to the base to rest; the remaining space shuttles will be evacuated to a safe distance immediately."
However, a total of more than 40 space shuttles were affected, but 7 space shuttles were too close, and the operating consoles were completely burned, and even manual controls could not be switched.
"Save people! Abandon the mission immediately!" A high-pitched roar came from the headset.
Fortunately, Apophis has now deviated far away from the orbit of the earth and is no longer harmful to the earth.
A shrill alarm sounded in every space shuttle. This was the most dangerous warning and required immediate evacuation.
Every space shuttle needs to search its surroundings to see if there is anyone in need of help, to see if there are any deadly debris, etc.
Well... Yang Zhi saw a white shadow passing in front of the plane. If his facial features were not sensitive after practicing practice, he would have missed it. I quickly turned on the radar scan, and it turned out to be an astronaut, waving his hands for help.
Not dead!
Yes, without even thinking about it, a space shuttle exploded right now, so there can only be one pilot in space!
It's just that the surrounding area is a bit dangerous now, with a lot of sand flying all over the sky, which is fatal for a spacesuit that can only block bullets at most.
"I saw it. I saw the astronaut who exploded the plane. He's not dead. I'm going to save him!" Yang Zhi made an announcement while turning the plane around.
Such an announcement is undoubtedly important to help the country and to the mood of all pilots under the current circumstances.
"Go all out to rescue, and the country will give you first-class merit." The chairman's voice returned to Yang Zhi's headset four seconds later.
"After you are rescued and returned to the company, I will reward you with a dream cruiser that belongs entirely to you!"
This is the voice of boss Zhang Jingyuan!
"The astronaut's retreat speed is 7 kilometers. Your current speed is also 7 kilometers, and the distance is 2453 meters. Angle direction: 90°." Soon, the computer gave the data. There is just something wrong with the direction of the two of them. One is moving forward and the other is drifting to the left.
Fortunately, the distance is not very big, it should be about - not too many problems!
"Warning, warning, the solar wind is about to arrive in 15 minutes. This is the Department of Space Environment and Science and Technology. A sunspot outbreak has just been detected. The solar wind will arrive here in 15 minutes, and the coverage area will reach tens of millions of kilometers. But please don't panic. Now you have enough time to return to the earth's magnetic field protection layer; the magnetic field generating device developed by the master company is enough to protect everyone. Now the countdown begins..." "Holy crap!" Yang Zhi finally couldn't help it.
