Chapter 350 [Impact Event]

"Move fast, recover as many facilities as possible!" David Sackwith shouted and urged his people on the public frequency communication channel,

As the spacecraft landed, one or two hundred people on both sides were busy. David Sackwith could not help but look at the countdown to the impact. There were only 40 minutes left.

He looked around again, and the recovered facilities are only more than 30%. Before that, he couldn't help asking why Li Peng didn't have any large transportation equipment?
The answer to him was that in the Mendeleev impact crater, the Skyblade spacecraft itself does not carry it. The purpose is to free up a greater carrying capacity. The loading is on the earth, and the unloading is also at the base of the Mendeleev impact crater. Naturally There's no reason to have one on board.

This answer made David Sackwith speechless. The Skyblade spacecraft was already on its way back, and it never thought about the current rescue mission at all.

"The spaceship will take off in 10 minutes, and everyone entered the cabin immediately." At this time, Li Peng conveyed the latest news in the public frequency band, and his members of Tianqing Technology immediately put down their work after receiving the news. Go to board.

David Sackwith saw the waste of the past few days. The boss tried his best to demolish the base facilities, but only recovered 30.00% of the four, and the remaining [-] to [-]% will all fall here.

It hurts to change anyone.

Although this base was initiated by the Indian Space Research Organization, in fact, everyone paid for it, and Lao Mei did not pay for it, but it also brought a lot of expensive research equipment.

"Every unit, board the ship immediately!" David Sackwith immediately conveyed the message in the communicator, and astronauts or payload experts from various countries also put down their work at hand, and headed towards the Skyblade spacecraft.

……

Earth, NASA Headquarters.

"Damn it, these bastards actually think today is a Christmas carnival night?" Jim Bridenstine cursed and turned off the TV. He just turned on the TV and watched the news from CNN. The more he watched, the more angry he became. .

Now it is the last half-hour countdown to the Phaethon asteroid hitting the moon helicopter, and it happens that it is night in the western hemisphere, and this epic "space car accident" event can be observed.

From the excited expressions of the general public observed by the major media and a large number of telescopes, this is a form of expression of the great sadness in their hearts...

According to incomplete statistics, tonight on the European continent and the American continent, melon-eating people from European and American countries used nearly [-] astronomical telescopes to observe the asteroid impact at the same time. Of course, the major observatories also pointed at the moon. Jinghai District.

They can't wait to hit it quickly...

……

Moon, Sea of ​​Tranquility.

All personnel on the surface of the Tranquility area have boarded the Skyblade spacecraft. In the last 10 minutes before the Phaethon asteroid hit, the Skyblade spacecraft started its engine again and slowly lifted off.

Many astronomy enthusiasts on the earth saw a dazzling light spot appearing in the Jinghai area, witnessing the launch of the Skyblade spacecraft.

Many ground-eating people cheered enthusiastically when they saw this scene. Now they can enjoy this epic celestial body impact event without any psychological burden, but the European Space Agency, NASA and other institutions are in psychological pain.

The sky-high price of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars was originally intended for a permanent research base, but it was never expected to be so short-lived.

The Skyblade spacecraft took off and did not leave the moon, but instead flew to its own Mendeleev impact crater base on the back of the moon

……

Finally, at around 03:22 a.m. local time in North America, an asteroid with a diameter of about 5 kilometers collided with the moon under the witness of the world.

The asteroid, which was closest to the Earth two days ago, was thrown out by gravity and further accelerated towards the moon by the effect of the gravitational slingshot.

During the asteroid impact on the moon, there was no huge flame as people imagined, because the moon itself has no atmosphere.

But at the moment when it collided with the moon, the world witnessed the devastating energy. The energy erupted by the most terrifying nuclear weapon for mankind so far is so small compared to this impact event.

Seeing this world-ending scene with my own eyes, if this asteroid hits the moon instead of the moon, but is flying towards the earth, thinking of this, some excited people who eat melons feel a chill inexplicably.

Under the witness of the world, the Phaethon asteroid with a diameter of about 5 kilometers formed an impact crater with a diameter of about 142 kilometers in the quiet sea area of ​​​​the moon.

The Sea of ​​Tranquility has been flooded by dust and debris, and some rock fragments on the lunar surface have been thrown 1500 kilometers away. Almost one-third of the front of the moon is a dangerous area.

Due to the low gravitational force of the moon, a large number of rock fragments were thrown into outer space by the destructive power of the impact, and some of them would fly to the earth.

Astronomers on Earth have already calculated this result. In about a week or so, there will be a rather spectacular meteor shower in the Asia-Pacific region of the Earth.

However, no moon stones will hit the surface of the earth, but will be dissipated by factors such as atmospheric friction after entering the high-altitude atmosphere.

However, during this period of time, the Tianzhou space station and some other low-orbit satellites all have to avoid the limelight on the other side of the earth for safety reasons, although the rule of being hit by these meteorite fragments is one in a million, or even ten million. one.

But even a one-in-a-billion impact event can be encountered by humans, and the Tianzhou space station is a bit imaginary. This kind of thing is not afraid of [-], just in case.

It just costs a little more fuel to change the orbit and adjust the course. Now the supplies are already very cheap, so there is no need to take this risk.

After the Phaethon asteroid hit the Sea of ​​Tranquility, this powerful energy spread to almost the entire moon, and even the base where the Mendeleev impact crater on the back of the moon was located felt obvious tremors a few minutes later.

The Phaethon asteroid hit the moon, but this impact created a whirlwind on the earth. The celestial body impact event has become the hottest topic nowadays, and various related reports are also emerging in endlessly.

At this time, the major astronomical agencies and space agencies are not idle.

NASA decisively released a schematic diagram of the densely packed asteroid orbits around the earth. Combined with the current situation, NASA really cannot get rid of the suspicion of intimidating the public.

But the people who eat melons were really taken aback.

Against this background, Jim Bridenstine launched a call called the "International Planetary Defense Organization", and multinational space agencies such as the European Space Agency and the Indian Space Research Organization jumped out to express their support.

The celestial body impact incident that just broke out has fresh in the memory of the people who eat melons in various countries. They used to think it was unfounded worry, but this time they are extremely lucky, but no one can guarantee that they will be so lucky next time.

Therefore, the voice of support from the people is very loud.

Don't just support, get funding!

Taking advantage of such a high rate of public support, it feels like the appropriation budget has been passed.

There are not many people who know the real inside story, but Gu Cheng is one of them. NASA and other agencies are clearly defrauding taxpayers of their money. If they don’t cheat, how can they pay back the huge sum of US$51 billion owed to Gu Cheng?
