The master company wants to build Vesta into a special entertainment venue that will become popular all over the country. Why not global? Because everyone knows that as long as it is a master company's business, if foreigners want to participate, it will cost Chinese people more than ten times. Therefore, after so many years, everyone has gradually understood that unless foreigners are extremely rich, they should not humiliate themselves.
In China, seeking is completely different.
As the news spread, domestic entertainment companies, large tourism companies, etc., swarmed in; because Gaoshou Company clearly stated that entertainment design and operations, etc., would be completely outsourced, and Gaoshou Company would only share the profits through similar tax collection. ——In fact, Vesta is already the private domain of the Master Company! ! !
Expert companies mainly consider outsourcing and specializing in the technical industry. As for the master company itself, it is not good at entertainment.
Of course, Oriental Entertainment Corporation, which has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with Gaoshou Company, naturally came out on top. The master company even simply listed the requirements and threw them directly to Oriental Entertainment Corporation, letting them plan their own plans while they only took care of the final acceptance. This makes many entertainment companies dissatisfied. It is obviously unfair competition. But in the face of this extremely profitable thing, we have to continue to sharpen our heads and dig in.
In addition, Vesta has not yet arrived, but some three-dimensional pictures are available, which are enough for the first draft planning. All the expert company has to do is to add a roof to Vesta, fill it with air and moisture, and plant plants. There is also basic construction. The rest of the entertainment planning is done as a hands-off shopkeeper; all we have to do is wait for a share of the fees. If you want to do business on Vesta, everything you eat and drink will be provided by Gaoshou Company; even the air you breathe is the same, and the sunshine you enjoy is sunlight filtered by the membrane provided by Gaoshou Company. This is technology! This is the right!
Because the master company has so much control, the final required share is as high as 70%. But even so, the income from the space business is still very considerable.
When China is already preparing for the Spring Festival of 2067, in space, the team of the Master Company. Dragging Vesta's fleet. It finally crossed the orbit of Mars and began to approach the orbit of the Earth. At this time, even on earth, at night. Vesta can also be seen with telescopes. The only pity is. On the current Chinese land. Only suburbs, deserted places, and a few parks have the so-called night sky. The rest are all within the scope of the Space Mirror.
The giant Vesta. Being dragged unwillingly and towards death by the "tiny" ten Titan spaceships.
The Titan spacecraft, which is only 1/450 the size of Vesta, provides more than 60 million tons of thrust. This is because the technology of Gaoshou Company has improved in the past few years, especially the last Titan spacecraft. , some Die Hard III engines have been installed on it, with a single thrust of up to 12,000 tons!
But even with such a powerful force, it can only provide an acceleration of about 5 millionths of a meter per second when it acts on Vesta. Fortunately, Vesta itself has a certain initial velocity, and the gravity of the solar system also provides Vesta with acceleration in its "fall" (in the direction of the sun).
Vesta's initial speed is 19.34 kilometers per second, and the Earth's speed is 29.8 kilometers per second. In order for the Earth's gravity to capture Vesta, at least the relative speeds of the two should be similar. Fortunately, as long as we provide good guidance and make full use of the gravity of the sun and the gravity of the earth, it will be enough to complete the target task of moving Vesta.
However, such a heavy celestial body and such a small acceleration make this operation full of danger. If Vesta falls to the earth, humans can say goodbye to the universe!
Therefore, Li Canglan is now under great pressure.
"Everyone, there are still 48.93 million kilometers to reach the Earth's gravitational range. From now on, check the speed every hour and confirm it. I must require the numbers to be 100% accurate. Don't tell me that the accuracy has reached 15 decimal places. I think. Think, we still have our relatives on earth. We don’t allow any mistakes!”
"Yes!" Lin Fengyun, who was already on his own, replied seriously.
According to the current speed and acceleration calculation, it will take about 21 days to arrive. These 21 days have been the most painful.
Unlike Venus, when dragging Ceres, it only needs to be calculated, and even allows for an eventual impact on Venus. But the earth cannot do that. Vesta must be strictly required to stop at a certain point and then revolve around the moon. Although, there are also emergency adjustment strategies, such as orbiting the earth. But in view of the great danger, what Li Canglan demanded was that it must and could only stay in lunar orbit. Once a mistake occurs, for the safety of the earth, the super guide rail on the moon will be used to break Vesta into pieces. Absolutely no hesitation!
All people work three shifts, each working 8 hours. But during these eight hours, everyone needs to concentrate and cannot relax at all. This is the latest challenge to the master company, and it is also the pinnacle challenge. If this is successful, it means that Gaoshou Company has completely and truly entered the threshold of the space age! Has the ability to initially control the destiny of mankind and change nature from the perspective of the planet!
Of course, such actions are actually a struggle with the planet. If you are not careful, not only your arms will be hurt, but your body will also be hurt. However, high risk means high income. Not to mention anything else, it is worth just saying that about 100 billion tons of metal can be extracted on Vesta!
On February 7, 2067 in the Gregorian calendar, one week before the Spring Festival of 2067, the team of the Master Company finally returned to the Earth's gravitational field. But the real challenge has just begun!
Here, the giant Vesta begins to accelerate. Li Canglan's face turned pale from nervousness due to the combined gravity of the earth, sun, and moon. Although these situations have been calculated, it does not mean that they can be implemented. Only when you actually implement it will you realize how difficult it is!
At this moment on Earth, without a telescope, you can see a planet the size of a wine glass, moving slowly in space. That is Vesta that has reached the Earth's gravitational field. The current magnitude of Vesta is about 5.0, which is just visible and slightly obvious - mainly because it is large enough.
There are ten small rice grains of light flashing around Vesta, which are spaceships that are working intensively.
"Report the situation!"
"The current speed of Vesta is 29.45 kilometers per second. The speed is low. But due to the influence of the Earth's gravitational field, the speed is increasing.
It is expected that Vesta will pass 230,000 kilometers in front of the Earth in 2.7 hours, passing by the Earth for the first time. The data accuracy is 100%!
After that, the Earth's gravitational field is used to accelerate and change direction. After three orbits around the Earth, Vesta will be captured by the moon's gravity. At an altitude of kilometers above the moon, it stabilizes. ”
"Okay!" Li Canglan did not relax. As the saying goes, a man who travels a hundred miles can only travel half a mile, not to mention the security of the entire earth and the lives of tens of billions of people, all of which are under his control.
On the ground, everyone saw Vesta approaching the earth rapidly, and many people went crazy. For example, in some cities in the United States, riots even occurred. Many people say - the earth is finished!
All the ropes are stretched straight, and the spacecraft is always in a pre-explosion state. Make sure to hold Vesta back for a while as soon as it changes, at least to gain time for the rail weapons to destroy it. But doing so would expose the spacecraft to the risk of being destroyed by debris. A piece of debris several hundred meters in size is enough to cause a devastating blow to the spacecraft.
Close! Closer! Because it is close to the earth and the sun, there are even some water vapor eruptions on Vesta. This scares many people on earth. At 23:09 on the evening of the 7th, Vesta passed through the sky at its closest distance of 234,000 kilometers from the earth, passing by the earth at a close distance for the first time. But then, Vesta at this speed was captured by the earth's gravitational field! The danger doesn't stop there! The battle is only half over! (To be continued...)
