Chapter 310 The hope brought by the interstellar battleship

"How's the situation, have you found anything?"

Saturday, April 4.

In the observation control room of the Hubble telescope of the North Magnesium Aeronautics and Space Administration, Hayden paced back and forth with an anxious face, asking the operator in front of him from time to time.

Ever since Xu Lei held a global press conference to announce the news of Pluto on April Fool's Day, all parties have been in a state of unease, and they have issued orders to pay close attention to the time and approximate location of Pluto's next appearance in Xu Lei's mouth. It is necessary to determine whether this so-called asteroid with a diameter of [-] kilometers really exists.

And calculate its flight trajectory to judge the probability of hitting the earth and stars.

Unlike ordinary people, the country has more issues to consider and needs to consider the overall situation.

Therefore, if you want to carry out follow-up self-rescue actions, you must first determine the truth of the matter, and there should be no doubts.

For this reason, Hayden took over the task.

Leading many astronomers to use space telescopes to observe Pluto.

Anyway, at the press conference a few days ago, Xu Lei had made it clear that Pluto would reappear within a special period of time. If they didn't find it this time, it would prove that the Pluto thing was nothing.

Let the panic caused by Pluto disappear.

But if traces of Pluto are really found, then things will be a big deal.

"Reporting sir, the target area is being observed, and no special celestial bodies have been found for the time being." Facing Hayden's inquiry, the operator who paid close attention to the data sent back by the telescope immediately replied.

Hearing the news, Hayden became more irritable and didn't know what the final result would be, but right now he could only wait patiently.

After all, the trace of Pluto is related to the survival of the entire human civilization, and we must not be careless in this matter.

that's it.

Hayden sat in the control room for an unknown amount of time, until he felt drowsy, and finally a pleasant voice came from his ear: "Sir, we really found a bomb in the area Yan Fang mentioned. Asteroid, located near Neptune."

It is not an exaggeration to say that Hayden stood up instantly when he heard the news.

"Pluto is actually real." With a pale face, he muttered to himself, and then he quickly came back to his senses and ordered: "Quickly call out the relevant data, and in addition, all domestic astronomy experts will be recruited to study the flight of Pluto." track to demonstrate."

Neptune is close to the Kuiper belt, where there are all kinds of celestial bodies, and it is not a big deal to find an asteroid in this area.

And this isn't the first case either.

The key is to determine the trajectory of the asteroid.

After all, from the orbit of Neptune to the planet Earth, separated by special planets such as Mars and Jupiter, there is a high probability that passing asteroids will be captured as satellites.

This naturally poses no threat to human civilization.

If this asteroid can avoid the capture of other planets, and even use various gravitational forces to increase its own flight speed, then it will be a real disaster for the planet Earth.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the greatest catastrophe in the history of human civilization.

Although Future Technology and Yanfang Space Agency have demonstrated the flight trajectory of Pluto and scientifically proved that the other party will collide with the earth and stars in seven or eight years, this does not guarantee that the data will not be wrong. The results are the most convincing.

That's why Hayden issued this order.

What you need to know is that the number of astronomers they have is higher than that of Yanfang. With the addition of various astronomical and space telescopes including Harper, I believe the results of the demonstration are more authoritative.

"Yes, sir."

At this moment, the people in the control room naturally wouldn't object to Hayden's order.

Immediately after nodding his head in response, he began to implement it in detail, bringing together astronomers who came from all over the country in the past few days to demonstrate the observation data.

The discovery of an asteroid with a diameter of [-] kilometers, and the possibility of colliding with the earth and stars, such an extremely explosive thing is irresistible to astronomers, even if they do not need the official lead, they will spontaneously Argument data to determine the truth of the facts.

The consequences of whoever let the asteroid hit the earth star are related to every human being, which is equivalent to the grasshoppers on the same rope.

All must contribute.

Saving the planet is saving ourselves.

Right now, the time left for human beings is already very limited. If the results of Pluto’s flight trajectory can be demonstrated earlier, human beings can also save themselves as soon as possible.

-

As the saying goes, more people are more powerful. Finally, under the joint calculation of all overseas astronomers, based on the observation data of several astronomical space telescopes on Pluto, it is judged that Pluto is indeed flying towards the earth.

Future technology is not alarmist.

It can be said that when everyone heard the news, most people were rather desperate, and did not think that future technology could stop this catastrophe.

Of course, this is not to destroy one's own ambition.

The diameter of the main Pluto has reached an unimaginable 500 kilometers, which is twice the volume of the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaur species [-] million years ago, not those meteorites that would be almost burned up by the atmosphere of the earth .

Even if nuclear bombs are used to destroy Pluto, it may not change the result.

As the head of the space agency, Hayden also seemed very absent-minded after receiving the demonstration results submitted by all astronomers.

Who would have thought that he was still leisurely thinking about retirement a few days ago, but now the human race is about to become extinct.

This gap is really too huge.

It is conceivable that he will definitely not be much easier in the next few years.

"Is it an asteroid flying at high speed and colliding with the stars? It's really unbelievable!" At this moment, Hayden held the paper document, although it was only a few pages, he felt extremely heavy, and smiled bitterly in his heart. , and then said with firm eyes: "I will report this to the general immediately."

As soon as the voice fell, he turned and left under the gaze of all the astronomers.

There is no doubt that everyone's eyes are extremely complicated at this time, mixed with a frightening dead silence.

Especially the more experts in this field, the less hope for the future of mankind.

Because they know better than anyone else what kind of catastrophe the horror of Pluto will bring to the entire planet Earth and human civilization.

It is worth mentioning that after Hayden got the result of this demonstration, he did not choose to transmit it to Lao Te, but went to Washington State to report it himself.

Don't dare to delay a minute or a second in the process.

This is not a simple dispatch report, let alone that you will be fine after reading it. Next, it is necessary to formulate a plan to deal with this disaster as soon as possible. Only in this way can social stability be maintained.

If even the top loses confidence and chooses to be bad, the world will inevitably become chaotic.

Maybe human civilization collapsed within itself before Pluto reached Earth.

Because Hayden chose to cancel many space programs of the space agency, he is in the mode of lying down. However, on this issue related to the continuation of the entire human civilization, he can still distinguish the priorities. It can be said that he arrived at the peak overnight Wharton Island.

After all, even if he doesn't think about himself, he doesn't want to see the younger generations of the family end their young lives because of this.

Hayden waited in the palace early in the morning, and went to Tripp's office to report the situation as soon as he started working.

"This is the result of the demonstration made by many astronomers based on observational data. As calculated by future technology, Pluto not only does exist, but will also collide with the Earth at an extremely fast speed." Hayden stretched out the paper While handing over the qualitative documents, he briefly described the core information in them.

After hearing the sound, Lao Te took the file and put it on the table, but he didn't intend to read it, but frowned tightly.

He doesn't know much about astronomy. Since Hayden has already explained the results of the astronomers' demonstrations, there is no need for him to check it himself.

The key now is to consider how to respond.

"Things are still developing in the direction I was worried about!" Long Jiu Lao Te couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Having dealt with Future Technology for so many years, he is very clear about their strength. Since Xu Lei dared to tell the world about Pluto, it shows that he is quite sure.

So on the day Xu Lei held a press conference, he began to worry about this matter.

It turns out.

His judgment was not wrong.

Now I have come to the same conclusion, which shows that Pluto is already a certainty.

Thinking of the gloomy future of human beings, even if he is usually a happy old man, it is inevitable that he will not be able to cheer up at this moment.

After a little hesitation, he did not directly issue an order. Instead, he raised his eyes and set his eyes on Hayden again: "You are an expert in this field, do you think we can deal with this crisis?"

Facing the general's question, Hayden paused for a few seconds before answering: "This asteroid has a diameter of [-] kilometers and is flying towards the Earth at a speed of [-] kilometers. Is there any way to perfectly resolve this crisis."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something again, and added again: "But commander, now we have to think about how to deal with the disaster brought by Pluto?"

As Hayden said, because of Xu Lei's press conference, everyone now knows the existence of Pluto and is waiting for the final result.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to conceal, and even for the stability of the situation, it is necessary to formulate a plan as soon as possible and start implementing it.

Otherwise it will only make things worse.

Lao Te obviously understood this truth, and after careful consideration, he seemed to have made a decision, and then directly informed Hayden.

"Let's announce this result to the public, and let everyone have confidence. As for the specific implementation plan, we will talk about it after the future technology starts to take action."

His idea is very simple, since he can't complete this difficult problem, he can only copy other people's answers.

Future Technology was the first to discover the existence of Pluto, and Xu Lei announced the news without any concealment. In addition to what he said at the press conference, it shows that he is committed to solving the crisis brought about by Pluto. Still quite confident.

Maybe there really is a suitable solution.

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly the most suitable approach to follow the footsteps of future technology and cooperate with each other.

After listening to these words, Hayden immediately understood what Lao Te meant. After thinking about it briefly in his heart, he quickly nodded in response: "I understand the general. I will urge people to handle this matter as soon as possible."

After speaking, without any hesitation, he turned and left immediately.

It has to be said that Hayden's efficiency is indeed very high. The space agency released the results of this demonstration that morning, officially confirming the existence of Pluto.

In addition, because other forces are also paying attention to the progress of the Pluto incident these days, and they have also carried out observations according to Xu Lei's statement, so when the space agency's demonstration came out, it quickly aroused the support and enthusiasm of astronomers around the world. I agree. In addition to the rapid spread of related topics overseas, it has even topped the list of hot searches on major domestic websites.

Everyone understands that the greatest catastrophe in the history of human civilization is coming.

Rao is that everyone is willing to believe in future technology, but in such a depressing environment, it is inevitable that they will be affected and lose confidence.

Some people even proposed to take advantage of the last time to enjoy what should be enjoyed as soon as possible, so as to save time and regret for life, and welcome the catastrophe with regret.

Fortunately, various plans have been formulated long ago to ensure the stable operation of society.

Some people who dared to die were directly taken away by a wave before they had time to vent their desires, and were hit by thunderous means.

This made everyone panic, but their actions were still within the scope of reason.

However, this situation can be maintained for a while, but it cannot be maintained for a long time, especially when the day of Pluto's arrival is getting closer and closer.

The key is to let everyone build up confidence and firmly believe that human beings can resolve this crisis from the bottom of their hearts.

……

……

"The end of the world is really coming, I'm only eighteen this year, I haven't lived enough yet!"

"This god damn Pluto, it can't fly anywhere, it has to hit the planet."

"After living for more than 30 years, I never thought that I could actually see the end of the world in this life, so I didn't live in vain."

"Who can save us."

"So many countries have confirmed the existence of Pluto, it seems that human beings are really going to end."

"We humans have just stepped into the first level of civilization, and we haven't had time to look beyond the solar system in the future. Are we going to be terminated now?"

"A few days ago, who said that Xu was always making jokes on April Fool's Day, is it still funny now?"

"In fact, if we look at it from another angle, it is a good thing to discover the existence of Pluto. At least we still have seven or eight years left. I believe that future technology will definitely turn the situation around."

"These are all the evaluations given by everyone on the Internet about Pluto. According to statistical analysis, only a small number of people are willing to believe us." In the conference room of Longhu High-tech Park in Binjiang City, Chen Shihe pointed to the content on the holographic screen, Briefly introduce the current situation to everyone.

Since that night passed, Xu Lei finally agreed to Chen Shihe's request, letting her participate in the plan to deal with Pluto, and together to save the fate of human civilization.

At this time, Li Chengzhe, who was sitting next to him, looked at the hopeless comments on the screen and couldn't help sighing: "The current situation is not conducive to our follow-up planning. We must let the people regain their confidence."

As Li Chengzhe's voice fell, everyone present fell silent.

Obviously everyone knows what to do right now, but they can't think of a good solution for the time being.

In the end, Pei Hongyin, who was the oldest in the grade, turned his attention to Xu Lei, who was sitting in the chief seat after a little thought, and asked, "I mean Dean, is there nothing you can do about it?"

"Vice President Li is indeed right. Only when the public regains their confidence can we let go of our hands and feet." Facing Pei Hongyin's question, Xu Lei said this thoughtfully, and then threw a A question: "Vice President Li, how is the assembly of the Shenzhou going?"

The Shenzhou that Xu Lei was talking about was the heavy hammer cruiser manufactured by the research institute.

The development of the domestic aerospace industry to its current scale also includes the efforts of the predecessors, so in order to pay tribute and continue, Xu Lei personally named the first heavy hammer cruiser the Shenzhou.

This name also made Wu Chuping very satisfied.

Before the incident on Pluto, the core components and main body of the Shenzhou were basically manufactured, and they were just transported to the near-Earth spaceport for assembly and start-up testing.

In addition, although the attention of the outside world has been on Pluto these days, the work of the research institute has not stopped at all.

So now it's time for the birth of the Shenzhou.

When Li Chengzhe heard Xu Lei suddenly mentioning the Shenzhou, he was rather dazed, thinking that he was talking about Pluto, why did he bring the matter of Pluto to the interstellar battleship?
But in the next second, he understood Xu Lei's intentions, and replied excitedly: "Currently, the components of the Shenzhou have passed multiple tests and adjustments, and they meet the standards for assembly and docking start. According to the plan of the research institute, it is ready to be carried out next month. "

"Can it be brought forward to next week?" Xu Lei asked after thinking about it.

Li Chengzhe nodded: "It should be no problem."

Wu Chuping listened to the conversation between the two, and surprise appeared on his face: "President Xu intends to use the Shenzhou to gather everyone's confidence?"

Shenzhou, as an interstellar warship with a second-level civilization technology, will naturally have a special emotion for the public. It was previously chosen to be manufactured in secret because of various considerations. Now all mankind is being shrouded in the haze of catastrophe , not only must it be completely disclosed to the public, but even the more popular it is, the better.

When people see that future technology and even interstellar warships have been manufactured, they will naturally reduce their fear of Pluto.

Believe that future technology has the ability to solve this asteroid threat.

Seeing that his intentions were brought to light, Xu Lei stopped being a riddler, and immediately admitted with a smile: "I do have thoughts in this regard, and continuing to procrastinate will only make the situation more complicated."

But Xu Lei had another intention that he didn't say.

While the Shenzhou can boost the confidence of the public, it is also a declaration of strength.

When those overseas forces see that the strength of future technology has reached this level, then they will definitely not have any ideas in the future.

Only in this way can the power of all mankind be twisted together to successfully resolve this crisis.

"This method is really good. As long as the public believes that the Pluto crisis can be resolved, then there will be no chaos." Pei Hongyin can be said to be full of praise for Xu Lei's decision, and even the original worry dissipated a lot.

At this point in the meeting, the rest of the matter is relatively simple. Xu Lei ordered Chen Shihe to announce to the outside world that the Shenzhou interstellar warship will be officially docked and assembled next week, and will be broadcast live globally.

In addition to wanting to use the live broadcast to expand its influence, it happens that it can also try the influence that the service of the heavy hammer cruiser can bring.

After all, although the technological exhibits from the upper space do not unlock this program, they can also increase the total number of influences.

The dormant cabin manufacturing technology has no chance to be used for the time being, so that the main source of influence is all on the fusion power station. The official service of the heavy hammer cruiser this time is also a considerable increase in influence.

Naturally, Chen Shihe would not have any objections to Xu Lei's order, so he nodded in response.

After the meeting, the official account of Future Technology Company, the accounts of Future Technology Nuclear Fusion Research Institute and the space agency simultaneously released an introduction to the Heavy Hammer Project.

After the powerful power system and weapon system of the Shenzhou, as well as various excellent performances, netizens suddenly fell into ecstasy.

No one thought that Future Technology had already completed the manufacturing of interstellar warships behind the scenes.

With the rapid increase in popularity, everyone's speech gradually changed from panic and worry about Pluto to surprise and joy about Shenzhou, as if at this moment they suddenly didn't feel the horror of the catastrophe.

The main interstellar warships only exist in sci-fi movies, and they have powerful space combat capabilities. If they form a large-scale fleet, then with the firepower of the warships themselves, they can find a way to destroy them before Pluto approaches the earth. Totally destroyed.

It is worth mentioning that some people saw that Future Technology started the implementation of the Heavy Hammer Project last year, and guessed that Future Technology may have predicted this catastrophe for all mankind, so they prepared in advance.

Now that the battleship has basically been manufactured, the threat level of Pluto will be greatly reduced.

The content of comments on related topics has changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and more and more people believe that future technology has the ability to save the fate of all mankind.

They all expressed that they would watch the live broadcast of the assembly and docking of the Shenzhou.

Witness the rise of human space combat power.

"The news in the past two days has really exploded one after another. I don't know if I should worry about Pluto."

"Fuck, this interstellar warship is too cool. Although the shape is relatively thick and simple, the two heavy rail guns of the main weapon are simply too domineering. I feel that it will be no problem to smash Pluto."

"Use the energy reaction of nuclear fusion to launch cannonballs. This range can indeed strike asteroids, but if you want to completely destroy Pluto, only one interstellar battleship is definitely not enough."

"Haven't you seen it? Future technology has long been prepared to deal with it. I believe this crisis is nothing."

"With the Starship Warship, no matter what you do next, it will be much more convenient."

"As long as there is future technology, I firmly believe that human civilization will never die in this crisis. Everyone just supports Mr. Xu unconditionally."

"Just wait for next week's live broadcast, this will be another new era of human civilization..."
