"Is it true that the asteroid hit the blue star?" ——Suzhou user

“@苏州User, nine out of ten it’s true, haven’t you seen the exercises all over the country these days?” — Martian
"It seems that the area where the asteroid hit is from the Mediterranean Sea to the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Mili Family and the Western Continent Alliance are now in chaos." ——Wang Jingze, the ancient god
"Won't the Universe Development Committee come out and explain?" - East Island User

"Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

"@钢铁直男, is my little brother on a date?" ——Professional Kidney Cutting

"Relieved, no need to repay the mortgage." - Snail House

"@土居，同喜同喜！"——Credit card maxed out
Huang Haojie had already received Zhong's reminder, he didn't expect this matter to be exposed so soon, which gave him a headache.

Quickly communicate with Dongtang on the phone.

December 12 at 10:11am.

Dong Tang and the Yinhe Consortium issued a joint announcement to explain the matter to the domestic public.

East Island Keelung, the headquarters of the Galaxy Consortium.

Ai Heping stood on the podium meticulously, and he said seriously to all the news media:

"There is a fact about the WX asteroid hitting the blue star."

The audience at the scene and watching the live broadcast were suddenly in an uproar. Although many people had already seen the joint announcement, it was only released less than 10 minutes ago, and many people did not see it.

Ai Ping suppressed his hands and asked the reporters on the spot to be quiet: "Don't worry too much, the Space Development Committee has formulated a rigorous plan. We are at least 99% sure to intercept the WX asteroid hitting the blue star. outside."

After talking, Ai Heping showed everyone the four plans of the planetary orbital gun project, the roadblock project, the mushroom umbrella project... and so on.

"So everyone can rest assured now that even if a small amount of asteroid debris will enter the blue star, it will be safe in the West Continent and the North Atlantic region, East Asia and the Pacific region."

"Mr. Ai, are you sure you can successfully intercept the asteroid?" The New York Times reporter asked very nervously.

"Even if all the previous three plans fail, the mushroom umbrella can destroy at least 95% of the asteroid's volume, break it into pieces, and minimize the damage." Ai Heping explained.

"Then why didn't you announce this in advance?" Global Times reporter asked.

"The reason why it was not announced before was mainly because of fear of causing panic among the public, and all space agencies are studying how to intercept asteroids." Ai Heping said helplessly.

Although many people are not satisfied with this answer, they can only pray for the interception to succeed.

NASA followed suit and held a press conference, but unlike Ai Heping's restraint, at the NASA press conference, Maxwell was stunned speechless by reporters with long guns and short cannons.

Although many people know that the probability of an asteroid being intercepted is very high, it has become the consensus of everyone to escape from the coastal areas of the North Atlantic Ocean for safety.

In Mi Li's house, many people drove their cars with their families and headed west.

And the hardest ones are John's family and the Western Continent Alliance. Most of the entire Western Continent may be the impact area, and the people don't know where the safe area is for a while.

The Western Continent Alliance can only open air-raid shelters once to give people temporary shelter.

And the sesame mung bean countries on the West Indies in Central America can only pray for the success of the Space Development Committee, otherwise the first wave of asteroid impact will wipe them out.

In order to give the world peace of mind, the Space Development Committee has announced some progress from time to time. For example, the mass projector of the Bazhong base has been successfully transformed into a planetary orbital gun. The tungsten steel warhead is ready to give WX asteroid a fatal blow at any time. hit.

And the thick launch vehicles of various countries were also pulled out to show their strong muscles to the world.

Kaohsiung base.

In the main control room hall.

"Ju Wang, according to the astronomical telescopes around the world and radio telescopes in outer space, our three spacecraft are about to encounter the WX asteroid in about 30 minutes." Zeng Baojiang pointed to the holographic projection star map and said.

Wang Tu looked at his watch, it was now 13:49 Beijing time, he nodded to Zeng Baojiang: "According to the scheduled plan."

"Okay." Zeng Baojiang replied seriously.

About 163 million kilometers away from the blue star, the olive-shaped WX asteroid rushes towards the blue star without a trace.

And about 6.3 kilometers in front of it, three basalt-class spacecraft are flying towards the WX asteroid in a zigzag distribution.

However, at this time, the three Xuanwu-class spaceships braked suddenly, and adjusted their flight direction through the auxiliary engines, changing from the previous relative flight to the same direction.

After the three Xuanwu-class ships completed their U-turns, the distance between them and the WX asteroid was less than 2.4 kilometers.

Due to the deceleration and U-turn, the speed of the three Xuanwu-class ships dropped to 11 kilometers per second. According to this speed, the WX asteroid will soon overtake them.

For this situation, the general ground control center has long expected.

"In 3 minutes, the WX asteroid will meet the spacecraft formation."

“2：30……2：20……2：05”

"Start the main engine of the spacecraft at full power immediately."

Due to communication delays, the WX asteroid had appeared behind the spacecraft formation less than 500 kilometers before the spacecraft received ground instructions.

From the main engine of the Xuanwu-class spacecraft, the light blue tail flames spewed out immediately, and their speed soared crazily.

When the WX asteroid and the spacecraft formation met, the speeds of the two were almost the same.

At this time, Zhong's artificial intelligence daughter "Xing" officially took over the control of the three basalt-class spacecraft. With the assistance of the spacecraft's computer, Xing successfully let the three spacecraft accompany the WX asteroid.

"The first step was successful." Zeng Baojiang said while clenching his fists.

"Don't let your guard down, we are still far from success." Wang Tu was still staring at the holographic star map.

At this time, the whole world can observe the WX asteroid astronomical telescope, and also found that three basalt-class ships have successfully accompanied the WX asteroid.

Look back to the WX asteroid.

I saw the three Xuanwu-class spaceships flying with the WX asteroid, and through the correction of the auxiliary engine, the three Xuanwu-class spaceships slowly merged into one, and the "star" began to perform tasks according to the established procedures.

However, there are no mushroom eggs on the three Xuanwu-class ships. After all, the consequences of blowing up asteroids are very serious, and the Space Development Committee will not choose it unless it is a last resort.

Because blasting the asteroid at this position, even if it succeeds, the pile of debris will definitely be a disaster for the spacecraft above the blue star orbit.

As for the painting-changing method proposed by Mi Li's family, it is too late now.

The so-called painting orbit change method is to spray white paint on the asteroid. The principle of this method comes from radiation pressure. Solar radiation will generate radiation pressure (light pressure effect) on the white surface, and slowly change the orbit of the asteroid through radiation pressure. .

The problem is that this method takes a very long time. According to the radiation pressure that can be generated by the current solar radiation, it will take at least 20 years to change the orbit of the asteroid.

If there were 20 years to spare, the Space Development Committee would use this method.

What's more, now that the situation is imminent, there is time to waste.
