Chapter 320 The Plan Begins

There are still more than six years left by Pluto for human civilization. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable to feel a sense of urgency. Even if you waste the slightest time, you will feel guilty. Get to work quickly.

The space kinetic energy weapon has Li Chengzhe and the others in charge, and it is already a very stable project.

Definitely be able to make the required space kinetic weapons on time.

So there is no need to pay special attention.

The planned planetary defense orbital gun is even more mature in technology, and it can also complete the equipment for orbiting Mars and Earth in the remaining time.

In addition, the major overseas forces concentrated their resources to participate in the manufacture of interstellar battleships and various components, which made the strength to deal with Pluto increasing. Even if Xu Lei didn't put too much energy into it, Xingtong could handle all matters well.

So the only problem is the underground dormant base.

In order to ensure the smooth completion of the underground dormant base and meet the design requirements, Xu Lei launched a field visit.

Personally determine the progress of the construction of the base.

After all, with Hu Xinren's promise, the number of finished biological hibernation chambers will exceed one billion units in six years. Although it can save part of the fire for human civilization when a disaster breaks out, there is still a lot to store these biological hibernation chambers. The problem.

It needs to be properly resolved.

The biological hibernation chamber can indeed allow people to sleep for 50 years without any damage to their body functions, but there are also some relatively stringent requirements.

For example, to ensure the constant supply of energy.

The pod cannot be impacted.

As long as any one of these happens, it may cause problems with the function of the biological hibernation chamber. At that time, the personnel will be forced to wake up, and there may even be no way to wake up again.

If this kind of thing really happens, then the biological hibernation chamber will no longer be a thing to preserve the fire of human civilization.

It's just a grave.

In order to avoid similar situations, the underground dormant base needs to be constructed in strict accordance with the design drawings. In particular, there must be absolutely no violations of construction and falsification, so as to ensure that the base can prevent earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and other planetary environments caused by the impact of Pluto. Natural disasters caused by great changes.

It is also worth mentioning that because of the special geographical location of the coastal cities, the cost of building a base on the seabed is too high, so the location has retreated a lot.

This leads to the emergence of multiple underground dormant bases in some suitable areas.

It's more chaotic than other places.

Fortunately, there are intelligent robots assisting them, otherwise chaos may break out.

As for the first dormant base that Xu Lei went to, it was naturally the underground dormant base in Binjiang City.

Who made this place the headquarters of future technology.

Unlike the underground dormant bases in other places, the underground dormant base in Binjiang City was built with the assistance of Future Technology, and many relevant experts from the research center were dispatched.

Even Liu Gaowen was personally responsible for the specific construction.

After almost a year, the underground dormant base in Binjiang City has begun to take shape. When Xu Lei took Xingtong's mechanical body and took the elevator deep underground under the leadership of Liu Gaowen, the huge bright and spacious space suddenly came into view.

People have to praise the power of the infrastructure madman.

Looking around carefully, the walls around the space can hardly be seen with the naked eye alone, only a few vague passages leading to different directions come into view.

It can be said that there are many fields.

Although there is no biological hibernation chamber here, one can already imagine the shock.

I believe that when this underground dormant base is put into use, it will definitely bring people a strong sense of visual impact.

The feeling of shock cannot be described in words.

I just feel like my heart is pounding and it's hard to breathe.

At this time, Liu Gaowen, who followed Xu Lei, saw this and quickly introduced in detail: "Mr. Xu, dozens of dormant cabin storage spaces like this have been built in this underground dormant base, and you can go there through these special passages. And the construction was also completed exactly according to the drawings."

Xu Lei knew that these spaces were the characteristics of the design drawings of the underground dormant base.

If a very large space is excavated separately deep underground, a so-called cavity will be formed, and there will be a greater risk when the environment changes.

It is very likely that it will collapse due to an earthquake.

And what this result brought about was that all dormant cabins were smashed and buried deeply.

Therefore, out of safety considerations, multiple spaces similar to the honeycomb structure are adopted, so that even if one of the spaces collapses, other independent spaces can still guarantee the safety of dormant personnel.

Now it seems that Binjiang City's underground dormant base is very satisfactory in every aspect.

Facts have proved that it was the right choice for him to let Liu Gaowen take charge of this project.

It can only be said that Liu Gaowen participated in too many projects related to future technology, especially the construction of Dengtian Island at the beginning, and it was these masterpieces that really won Xu Lei's trust.

"Very good, I am very satisfied." Turning around, he patted Liu Gaowen on the shoulder and praised him, and then changed the topic to energy-related issues: "How is the energy system installed at the base, and the controllable nuclear fusion device is in place Yet?"

"Report Councilor Xu."

"Currently, this base is temporarily using the energy from the fusion power station in Binjiang City. The energy system will not be installed until all the spaces are completed."

"It's expected to take some time." Liu Gaowen didn't rely on his close relationship with Xu Lei to put money on his face. He answered these questions very seriously, and it could be seen that he really wanted to improve the base.

Judging from the current population of Binjiang City, the number of underground spaces that will eventually be built in this underground dormant base will definitely not be small.

As for the energy required by the biological dormancy cabin, only one controllable nuclear fusion device is enough, so there is no problem in installing the energy system after the space is completed, but Xu Lei still feels very concerned about a problem. curious.

That is why the construction progress of Binjiang City's underground dormant base is so fast.

Before coming here, Xu Lei asked Xingtong to count the construction progress of the underground dormant base reported by various places. The underground dormant base in Binjiang City ranks first in the world.

Originally, the underground dormant base in Binjiang City had personnel from the future technology to help, and it was normal to progress faster, but it felt a little strange to go far behind.

The main reason is that Xu Lei did not personally participate in the construction of the base, and it is not clear that some things were not on site.

Now I can only rely on Liu Gaowen to solve the confusion.

"Binjiang City can build an underground dormant base so efficiently, it all depends on Chief Engineer Liu to be responsible for various things. If the construction continues at the current pace, Binjiang City's underground dormant base will become the first base built in the world. The significance of this is It's very profound."

Facing Xu Lei's unsparing praise, Liu Gaowen was happy, but he didn't take the credit for himself.

Then he humbly explained:
"Member Xu praised it absurdly. This is all for the future of human civilization. Everyone is willing to contribute and the efficiency will naturally be faster."

"The other thing is to rely more on the support of the military."

"Speaking of which, when we first chose the location of the base, we didn't expect that the area of ​​the underground Great Wall project would be directly handed over to us by the military after docking, so we saved a lot of processes and time by relying on these underground Great Walls."

Xu Lei is no stranger to the underground Great Wall that Liu Gaowen talked about.

The so-called underground Great Wall is a special channel for deploying missiles, which has considerable strategic significance.

But now that Yanfang has conquered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, and has also created the extremely powerful Shenzhou interstellar warship, it is naturally difficult to play a role in these underground passages.

It is indeed very suitable to choose to build an underground dormant base right now.

This is equivalent to processing on a semi-finished product, which is completely different from the construction of underground dormant bases from scratch in other areas.

It is normal for its construction progress to be ranked first.

"In the future, I will let the company start transporting the biological dormancy chamber here, and the construction of the controllable nuclear fusion device will also be accelerated, and strive to put this underground dormant base into use as soon as possible, so as to build up enough confidence for the public." After a little thought , Xu Lei watched Liu Gaowen preach in a deep voice.

Although he is currently a member of the Human Security Alliance, he must be responsible for the domestic people first.

The underground dormancy base in Binjiang City is the base of future technology. In the future, all employees of the company and their family members will be dormant in advance to prevent problems before they happen. Priority must be given to ensuring the number of biological dormancy chambers.

It is no exaggeration to say that most of the more than one billion biological hibernation chambers will be transported to domestic underground dormancy bases.

After all, who makes overseas believe too much in space kinetic energy weapons and planetary defense orbital guns, and is not willing to spend a lot of resources to build this seemingly useless underground base. In addition, there are Allah organizations doing things from time to time, so they can give them a part That's pretty good.

The number of biological hibernation chambers is limited.

This is a fact that no one can change, because human beings only have six years left.

If there is an opportunity to produce more, how could Xu Lei be unwilling? You must know that according to past experience, each dormant pod is worth influence points.

Since it is destined that many people in the world will not be able to use the hibernation chamber, Xu Lei, as the developer and manufacturer of the biological hibernation chamber, naturally has the right to choose who can use it.

As for the rest, we can only pray that space kinetic weapons and planetary defense orbital guns can completely solve the impact of Pluto.

When Liu Gaowen heard that the biological dormancy chamber would be delivered soon, he was very happy in his heart, and quickly said with confidence: "Don't worry, Senator Xu, I promise to complete the construction of this underground dormant base in the shortest possible time, to preserve human civilization. The last spark."

After confirming the situation of the underground dormant base in Binjiang City, Xu Lei was in a pretty good mood.

Because the three-step plan proposed at the Human Security Alliance Conference is all proceeding step by step.

Under these triple guarantees, Xu Lei does not believe that Pluto can still pose a threat to Earth and Planet. You must know that this is a technology exhibit collected in the Science and Technology Museum.

The gold content can be imagined.

In the next few days, Xu Lei also took Xingtong to the underground dormant bases in other cities. Although the construction progress was not as good as the dormant base in Binjiang City, at least it was carried out strictly according to the drawings, and there was no problem of cutting corners.

It is believed that it will be put into use after six years.

But Xu Lei must be too lazy to go there in person due to the situation overseas.

In the end, it was only proposed to send special personnel to supervise and verify at the Human Security Alliance General Assembly.

that's it.

As time goes by, more and more advanced equipment is manufactured, and at the same time, the day when Pluto reaches Jupiter is approaching.

……

On April 2031, 4, the first planetary defense orbital gun was successfully deployed in orbit around Mars.

In June of the same year, the Taishan-[-] space kinetic energy weapon was completed.

On August 2033, 8, the Mars military base officially has space strike capabilities.

……

On March 2034, 3, the future starship battleship successfully passed the start-up test in the space shipyard and was declared in service that month.

In May of the same year, the Taishan-[-] space kinetic energy weapon left the factory.

On January 2036, 1, the tenth Taishan space kinetic energy weapon left the space shipyard, and the space kinetic energy weapon manufacturing project was announced to be over.

……

……

"This report is all the efforts we have made to deal with the Pluto crisis in the past six years. Now we have the ability to solve the Pluto. According to the observed data of the Pluto orbit, we will officially launch it into space next month. The kinetic weapon goes to Jupiter and completes the collision with Pluto."

Wednesday, October 2036, 1.

virtual reality.

Human Security Alliance Conference Hall.

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed. With the efforts of the Future Science and Technology Nuclear Fusion Research Institute and the Space Shipyard, ten space kinetic energy weapons have been successfully manufactured.

Plus a new starship, the Future.

Because according to Xingtong's calculation, Pluto is about to reach the orbit of Jupiter. In order to implement the impact plan, humans also need to officially launch all space kinetic energy weapons to fly to Jupiter.

For this reason, Xu Lei specially held this meeting as a member of parliament.

It is worth mentioning that, according to the original plan, only nine space kinetic energy weapons are needed to have the kinetic energy to hit Pluto to change its orbit. The extra one was originally used as a backup, but in order to ensure the success of the mission, this This time will also be dispatched together.

After all, the purpose of these kinetic energy weapons is to hit Pluto, leaving one alone is useless.

On the contrary, it will cause waste.

I don't know if it's because of being in the virtual world, but even after six years, Xu Lei still looks so young and handsome.

Compared with the many silver-haired members around, it is simply out of place.

But looking at anyone present, they didn't dare to underestimate Xu Lei, and looked at the plan completion report with incomparable concentration.

no doubt.

In terms of the degree of completion of the three-step plan alone, human beings are victorious.

But whether the interference with Pluto's flight trajectory can be completed as expected is still an uncertain question. After all, there is uncertainty in everything, and no one knows what will happen at that time.

But for humans there is no choice.

If these space kinetic weapons are not launched, they will collide with Pluto and force it into the orbit of Jupiter to become a satellite.

Then Pluto will reach Mars at an extremely fast speed, and finally hit the earth star.

We must know that Pluto’s observed diameter is as high as more than 20 kilometers, and the actual value may be even higher. In this case, the planetary defense orbital gun deployed in Mars’ orbit may not be able to completely destroy Pluto.

So hitting is the most appropriate way.

At this time, the other members sitting in the hall naturally had no objection, and immediately raised their hands to declare that the alliance had approved the application for launching the Taishan space kinetic energy weapon.

In addition, since this is the first head-on collision between humans and Pluto, its actions will also be broadcast to global audiences in the form of a global live broadcast, and everyone will witness this shocking and great scene.

It really proves that human civilization has the ability to properly deal with extraterrestrial threats.

From a certain point of view, if the crisis of Pluto can be successfully resolved this time, making it a satellite of Jupiter.

Then mankind will soon enter the second level of civilization.

Realize the free travel in the solar system and explore more unknown areas.

But at this time, Congressman Enoch, who voted in favor, suddenly asked: "Rep. Xu, I wonder how sure we can hit Pluto into the orbit of Jupiter with this operation?"

Unlike when he first became a member of the council, Enoch has obviously become much more stable after the baptism and precipitation of these special years.

And he is really worried about the safety of human civilization.

As for its reasoning, it is also very simple.

The status and rights he currently possesses are all based on the foundation of human civilization. If the crisis on Pluto is not resolved and human civilization ushers in the catastrophe of extinction, it will be useless to say more.

It can be said that whoever dares to engage in internal confrontation among human beings is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of all human beings.

How could it end well.

Sitting in this position, no one is stupid.

Listening to Enoch's question, Xu Lei did not hesitate or perfunctory, and answered directly: "According to the calculation results of the intelligent brain, the probability of our space kinetic energy weapon colliding with Pluto is as high as 90.00%. Pluto was not captured by Jupiter in the end, and its flight path will also deviate and will not collide with the Earth again."

Judging from the results calculated by Xingtong alone, the probability of 90.00% is indeed very high.

But it's not 100% after all.

There is still the possibility of failure during the impact.

For example, the flight path of Pluto did not change as expected.

The establishment of planetary defense orbital guns and underground dormant bases is precisely to prevent this [-]% possible occurrence.

When everyone in the venue heard this number from Xu Lei, they didn't show too much worry, because no matter how you look at it, this operation has a good chance of winning.

Maybe none of the layouts on Mars will come in handy.

Enoch understood that his expression eased a lot, and finally smiled at Xu Lei: "Then I will first wish Mr. Xu a smooth solution to Pluto and a triumphant return!"

Immediately after the meeting ended, everyone's figures gradually blurred and disappeared, and they exited the meeting hall.

Because this trip to Jupiter, in addition to the ten Taishan space kinetic energy weapons, the two interstellar warships Shenzhou Future, which is currently in official service in human civilization, will also go together to clear the obstacles in front of the space kinetic energy weapons and adjust their flight paths.

You must know that it takes at least two months to go from Earth to Jupiter, even at one thousandth of the speed of light.

What's more, space kinetic energy weapons are slower than star warships.

At the same time, in order to keep the space kinetic energy weapon in an accelerated state and hit Pluto with the greatest power, there is no way to adjust the flight path too much during the flight.

It is very likely to encounter obstacles such as meteorites and other special celestial bodies.

At this time, the role of the accompanying interstellar warships is reflected.

Moreover, Xu Lei will follow the battleship to personally command this operation, so Enoch specially gave such a blessing.

However, it is conceivable that if Xu Lei successfully resolves the crisis of Pluto, he will become a hero of all mankind when he returns to Earth. This honor is unmatched by anyone, and his entire life will be recorded in the History of the development of human civilization.

Binjiang City.

Longhu Hi-Tech Park.

In the room of the headquarters building, Xu Lei came out of the virtual cabin, took the coat handed over by Chen Shihe and put it on, and asked casually, "Have you been notified?"

"The core personnel of the future technology company, as well as the main scientific research personnel of the research center and research institute have all been notified, and some are already waiting in the conference room." Facing Xu Lei's inquiry, Chen Shihe replied in a gentle voice.

But if you look closely, you can find a little worry in the eyebrows.

She knew that Xu Lei was going to direct the operation on a battleship in person, but after all, she was going to the distant Jupiter, so she would inevitably worry about Xu Lei's safety.

However, this matter is related to the survival of the entire human civilization, and she has no reason to dissuade it.

And Xu Lei and Chen Shihe have lived together for so many years, how can they not know what she is thinking, immediately turned around, reached out to hold each other's cheeks, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, this time it is mainly to complete space. For the mission where the kinetic energy weapon collides with Pluto, the battleship will only assist and will not participate."

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back safely." Chen Shihe murmured softly with a slightly flushed face, as if he didn't expect Xu Lei to make such a sudden move.

The two of them didn't delay for the next time, and immediately walked towards the meeting room.

What Xu Lei wants to participate in today is not only the virtual meeting of the Human Security Alliance. In addition, he also held a special large-scale meeting, calling all the core personnel of the company, as well as the scientific research personnel of the research center and research institute.

It is not only a summary of the work in the past few years, but also an arrangement for follow-up tasks.

This trip to Jupiter will take at least a few months. If the Pluto crisis is successfully resolved, everyone will be happy. If there is a [-]% accident, the company must also make early preparations.

The staff in the company and the research institute undoubtedly attached great importance to this meeting that Xu Lei suddenly held.

They arrived at the large meeting room of the headquarters building on time.

When Xu Lei opened the door and walked into the meeting room with Chen Shihe, the meeting room was already filled with familiar figures.

And everyone involuntarily cast their eyes on Xu Lei, with excitement in their eyes. Everyone knew that the most critical day in the history of human civilization was coming.
