Chapter 325 Space Explosion Operations

Chapter 325 Space Explosion Operations
In fact, although there are half a million asteroids in the asteroid belt, most of them are meteorites with a diameter of only a few meters or tens or hundreds of meters. Meteorites of this size can be destroyed by missiles before they enter the atmosphere. .

There is no need to worry about even smaller meteorites with a diameter of less than twenty meters, because they have been burned by the atmosphere before they fall to the ground and cause harm.

However, if a neutral bomb is used, its radiation will definitely fall to the surface of the Blue Star, and the lifetime of the neutral radiation is very, very long, and can still exist for several years or even decades.

You must know that due to the alien unmanned spacecraft, curvature navigation is not difficult now. As long as it escapes from the gravitational range of the sun and escapes from the Kuiper Belt, the blue star can turn on the curvature engine and enter super-light navigation. This is just four The distance of a few light-years does not take more than two thousand years, or even two months to reach it.

Yes, the use of the curvature engine is limited because the curvature engine distorts and superimposes the space in front of it, so once there is a large amount of matter in the distorted space in front, the consequences can be imagined, and even the entire Blue Star will be destroyed. .

In addition, when the curvature engine is used within the gravitational range of the star, the gravity of the star will seriously interfere with the directional gravitational stability of the curvature engine, so there is no way to use the curvature engine to accelerate inside the star system.

However, the main reason why Liu Xiu asked Liu Qi to design a space version of the hydraulic-powered mecha was to deal with an asteroid in the asteroid belt.

This asteroid hidden in the asteroid belt has a diameter of only more than 200 kilometers, which is nothing compared to the famous Ceres in the asteroid belt.

Its mass is not one ten thousandth of that of a blue star, but if such a planet is not stopped, it is very likely that it will be attracted by the gravitational pull of the blue star when it passes through the asteroid belt, thus changing its original shape. Collision into the blue star between orbits.

You must know that the meteorite that hit the Blue Star, which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago and caused great damage to the Blue Star's ecology, was only ten kilometers in diameter.

Therefore, in the face of such a dangerous asteroid, after the observatory reported the results of a possible impact, the think tank people decided to nip the danger in the bud.

It is simply wishful thinking to blow up an asteroid with a diameter of 200 kilometers using conventional explosives. Only the strongest weapons and bombs of mankind can be effective.

Because such a huge impact will definitely cause the plate movement of the Blue Star's crust, and will be accompanied by a super-large earthquake of dozens of magnitudes around the world, as well as the eruption of magma in the mantle, so under such an impact, humans on the Blue Star are basically There is no way to survive. At most, only the humans in the Ark space station can survive.

And what is about to hit the Blue Star now is a very large meteorite with a diameter of two hundred kilometers, comparable to an asteroid!
If it is not stopped, the consequences will be no big deal on the Blue Star. At most, it will be multiple large craters with a diameter of thousands of kilometers. However, the humans who live a few kilometers away from the Blue Star will definitely become extinct.

However, the power of nuclear bombs in space will be greatly weakened, because there is no air in space, so shock waves cannot be formed, and there is another disadvantage of using missiles for bombing, that is, the power of nuclear bombs can only act on the surface of asteroids.

Of course, the more important thing is that there is not a large amount of helium-3 on the surface of this asteroid. Therefore, we want to use the phased array method to detonate millions of tons of helium-3 on the helium moon as in the plot of Flow Blue Star 2 to explode The idea of ​​destroying the moon is obviously unrealistic.

Therefore, after a large number of simulation experiments by blasting experts in the think tank, it was finally determined that only buried detonation is the most economical and effective method.

The simple meaning is to send personnel to land on the asteroid with a diameter of 200 kilometers with a bomb, then drill a hole in the asteroid, then insert the bomb into it, and finally the operators leave the asteroid, and then conduct a unified detonation. Because the nuclear bomb is buried underground, the power of the nuclear bomb explosion will naturally be fully absorbed by the asteroid, and there will be no waste of power.

This is just like when digging into a mountain to extract stone materials, you always choose to drill a hole in the rock first, and then insert explosives into it to detonate.

Naturally, the task of bombing asteroids in space was handed over to the members of the Space Guard stationed on the Ark space station, or the Ark spacecraft!
So when the mission arrived at the Ark space station, the captain of the Space Guard immediately woke up all the dormant members of the guard. Thousands of people filled the entire conference room, and the captain of the space guard was facing everyone. said:

"Okay! Okay! Everyone, it's finally time for our Space Guard to appear! We just received the order from the supreme commander of Blue Star, the Captain of Blue Star!
Because we are worried that an asteroid with a diameter of 200 kilometers in the asteroid belt will be affected by the gravity of the blue star when it enters the asteroid belt and hit the blue star, so we must destroy it! Nip the danger in the cradle. Of course, because the task is dangerous, we adopt a voluntary principle. If you are willing to go, please raise your hand! "

Following the words of the space guard captain, more than a thousand astronauts basically raised their hands. Of course, some of them raised their hands after seeing other people raising their hands, but they all raised their hands anyway. .

Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic and cooperative, the space guard captain was still very pleased. However, this task did not require so many people. After all, according to calculations, only the equivalent of twenty Big Ivans could be used to reduce the diameter of this planet. The asteroid that reached two hundred kilometers was blown to pieces.

Of course, this premise is that these twenty Big Ivan bombs must be buried at the designated location and depth as required, and detonated at the same time.

If this method is not adopted, but missiles carrying nuclear warheads are used for surface bombing, it will take at least a thousand Big Ivans to achieve such an effect.

But the ammunition on Blue Star is not plentiful! After all, in addition to this asteroid, there are other asteroids with a diameter of hundreds of meters or even one or two kilometers that need to be destroyed.

You must know that even a hydrogen bomb requires a fission bomb to be used as a detonator to detonate. However, there is not a lot of uranium on the Blue Star, so it is natural to use it sparingly, not to mention that after the asteroid belt, there are The Kuiper Belt needs nuclear bombs!

Everyone who saw it was willing to go, so the space guard captain said:
"In that case, let's follow the old method and draw lots! Whoever is drawn will carry out this task!"

This approach makes no sense to everyone, and Liu Peiqiang was lucky enough not to win the lottery to blow up an asteroid.

But it's a pity that as Liu Peiqiang's partner Makarov, a former Big Bear and now a member of the Ouya District, he won the lottery to perform the mission.

Yes, in order not to be criticized, in the Space Guard, Liu Xiu also allowed some people from non-Huaxia areas to enter the Ark Space Station as members of the Space Guard. Of course, Liu Xiu personally selected these candidates. The checks are all for Liu Xiu. Only those who show green on the map of friends and foes are eligible to enter the Ark space station as astronauts.
