"Open the engine at full speed and lift along the tangent direction of the Earth's gravity circle!"
"Accelerate! Accelerate! Beyond the outer space of the moon. Be careful not to hit the space base and space factory. Also be careful of the space visor and space mirror. Forget about those small satellites, but try to avoid them."
< br>
"Chief Ground Controller, this is Li Canglan. The trajectory of Vesta will pass by the Qinglong space base. Please adjust the space position of Qinglong. Vesta is too big and cannot be adjusted!"
The series of orders made Li Canglan extremely nervous. Perhaps a mistake that is not paid attention to may lead to disaster.
On Earth, an emergency notice was issued, and all spaceships were prohibited from taking off; spaceships returning to the Earth dock were required to stay in space temporarily; spacecraft still in space were required to stay as far away from the Earth's gravitational circle as possible for the time being.
Everyone saw an unimaginable sight. A spider-like planet roars and hovers from the outer space of the earth. Of course, the spider legs are those spaceships.
With the help of the earth's gravity, Vesta's speed gradually increased to 29.8 kilometers. But this number is not enough, because in order to fly around the moon, the speed needs to be increased by about 1.32 kilometers. These speeds almost completely require adjustments by the spacecraft and are provided by the gravity of the moon and the earth. Only in this way can Vesta orbit the moon while following the earth in orbit in space.
"Left...forward, forward! Stop accelerating!"
In space, everyone saw how the Master Company dragged the planet. A huge web of fibers surrounds Vesta. The spacecraft uses tiny arcs in space to constantly sense changes in the gravitational field and adjust its direction at any time to maximize the acceleration. To increase Vesta's speed by 1.32 kilometers per second, the amount of energy needed to increase is as high as billions of measurement units, which is already more than the sum of all the man-made electricity on Earth today! Therefore, the increase in energy can only be achieved by cleverly utilizing the gravity of the Earth-Moon system.
Wow... A free space exploration satellite that had no time to escape was smashed to pieces by Vesta. The satellite was about 30 centimeters long. Almost turned into sand. The largest fragments were no larger than the size of a palm.
The huge and bulky Vesta orbits the moon at an absolute speed of more than 29.81 kilometers (relative to the sun), and then returns to the earth's gravity field.
Then it was about 180,000 kilometers away from the earth. Almost keeping pace with the Earth. Bad orbits the sun. And here. The Earth's gravity gradually comes into play. When Vesta passed between the Earth and the Moon, it finally reached a specified speed and was subsequently captured by the Moon.
A thrilling one. The operation that lasted for more than three days finally came to a perfect end. Perhaps the only imperfection is that in the process, about 7 free exploration satellites were destroyed, including at least 3 of China's. For these seven satellites, Gaoshou Company needs to pay compensation of about 500 million yuan in Chinese currency.
"Be careful, be careful!" On the ground, Zhang Jingyuan looked at the returning hero carefully. Continuously fighting in space for nearly 4 months has brought them close to the limit. This is not space tourism, but an arduous struggle; you must know that dragging Vesta is not only difficult, but also takes into account the safety of the earth. Even behind these people, they have to endure the anger and fear of others. Especially in the last three days, everyone had almost no rest. In the end, Li Canglan commanded the team without rest for seven consecutive days.
And now, with success, these heroes have all fallen asleep. High-intensity work has made their brains extremely tired.
"We must provide the best medical protection. I don't want to hear about someone having physical problems." Zhang Jingyuan said seriously to Zhang Sheng, the person in charge of medical and health who came over. With the development of Gaoshou Company, Gaoshou Company has naturally established its own medical and health department. Zhang Sheng is the person in charge and can be regarded as an elite nephew of Zhang Jingyuan.
"Third uncle, don't worry. If something goes wrong, I will handle it."
As Vesta stabilized at an altitude of about 3,000 kilometers from the moon and slowly rotated around the moon, Vesta finally welcomed its first guests. These guests, of course, are from the entertainment company. They have put forward various trend-setting improvement suggestions. The master company must first refer to these opinions and then summarize the various plans before starting the transformation.
Everyone who sees Vesta will be filled with sincere wonder. The approximate dimensions of Vesta are: 578x560x458 kilometers. It can be seen that the last number is directly less than 100 kilometers. This is the huge crater. This directly reduces one-fifth of the diameter of the planet in this diameter direction! Such an impact would be devastating to Vesta, which would no longer have the ability to form a roughly circular surface. The missing mass would be enough to prevent Vesta from reaching a critical mass and unable to form a planet. A strange space asteroid. In other words, Vesta is just a little bit close to becoming a dwarf planet; but it will never reach this point.
But such a spectacle is lucky for the current expert company. There is a drop of at least 4 kilometers between the middle peak and the surrounding craters. High-strength carbon fiber materials began to be manipulated over Vesta. Through the sky. With a gravity of only 0.22, the carbonene fiber experiences very little force. The 240-kilometer-long fiber has almost no obvious droop, and then a huge thin film material begins to cover the sky.
After that, the expert company continued to throw ice cubes found from the asteroid belt, ice cubes mined from the moon, etc. towards Vesta; Sky Realm and others began to change directions in their spare time to heat Vesta. Don't forget, the temperature of Vesta brought out from the small spacecraft reached more than 170 degrees below zero. It is impossible to live in such an environment.
The transformation in space was in full swing, and the expert company did not prohibit onlookers; so much so that the surrounding spaceships collided several times - there were too many onlookers. Dragging an asteroid directly into the Earth's gravity field is unlikely to happen in the future. Not to mention, the process of transforming asteroids is also very exciting. Moreover, the master company also issued a task: looking for ice cubes! Ice in space, of course. As for the ones on the moon, without space shuttles, ejection rails, etc., it is impossible for bulky spacecraft to mine ice on the moon.
And just when Gaoshang Company was full of hope for future space development, a piece of news made the world's attention focus again!
The three former countries of Nepal, Bhutan, and Sikkim demanded to leave India and defect to China!
Such information certainly attracted the attention of the world. Let’s not talk about the inside story here, just talk about it now: if China merges these three countries, then its power will completely cross the Himalayas and form direct and all-round contact with India. For India, this is like a sharp sword hanging above its head, which finally begins to fall! And, stick it tightly to your neck! And this sword is sharp and indestructible! The most important thing is that the whole world seems to have seen China’s ambition! (To be continued...)
