Chapter 349 Intercepting the 'Reaper' Planetary Defense Conference

Longguo Astronomical Observatory,

After receiving the 10-year-old 'letter' from Tian Peng at the beginning of the year.

During this whole year, the observation department in the Longguo Astronomical Observatory has already made 12 points of preparation.

In order to improve work efficiency, the staff in the universe monitoring room also changed from two shifts to three shifts.

Under the circumstances that the current 'letter' has not been deciphered, this state may continue for a long time.

It was already late at night, but the two staff members on duty did not dare to be careless at all, and they were still sitting in front of the main console full of energy.

The two were chatting, hoping to use this method to resolve their sleepiness.

At this moment, a staff member felt a flash of red light in his peripheral vision, which made his heart skip a beat.

Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at a screen in the corner of the monitoring room.

Since the "letter from the constellation Penguin" event, the observatory has placed the screen for observing cosmic radiation and wave bands in the center,

The observation screens for other celestial bodies are conveniently placed in the corner of the monitoring room.

"Hey, look, what is that?"

At this time, after the slightly younger staff member turned his head to look, 093 inevitably asked his colleague curiously.

"what?"

Hearing this, another staff member followed his gaze.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look immediately shocked him.

At this moment, what caught his eyes was the scarlet light on the monitoring screen in the corner that continued to flicker.

And what this means is self-evident to him who has a long working experience!

Danger alert! ! !

In an instant, the two got up quickly, and walked towards the corner to take out the monitoring display screen. The expressions of both of them became serious, which was visible to the naked eye. As they walked, they prayed secretly, hoping that there was something wrong with the monitoring equipment.

After the two walked in front of the screen, the phone in the monitoring room suddenly rang.

"Jingle bell~"

The two staff members looked at each other, and then the older one said to the younger one.

"Go pick it up, I'll keep watching."

"it is good.."

Hearing this, the younger staff member also nodded, and then quickly walked towards the telephone station.

The older staff squatted in front of the monitoring screen that continued to flash red light, and recognized at a glance that it was a binocular refractor telescope known as the "Earth Sentinel" belonging to the Longguo Astronomical Observatory.

The mission of this telescope is to monitor near-Earth asteroids and then sound the alarm.

Judging from the situation just now, there should be some kind of major discovery.

Thinking of this, he wanted to recall the previous records of this telescope.

In this case, it should be that there is a near-Earth asteroid with a wind direction to collide with the Earth.

Generally speaking, this kind of risk can be encountered once in a few years, although each time it proves that the probability is too low and it is a false alarm.

But that doesn't mean the monitoring is irrelevant.

After seeing the star map fed back by the binocular refractor, his pupils shrank involuntarily.

Looking at the two different negatives taken in the same sky area, there is also a dim and elongated star point that is vague, faint, and faint.

It really is an asteroid!

After realizing it, his heart instantly lifted.

At this moment, there was a movement from the other side of the monitoring room, and it should be the phone call.

Seeing this, he also quickly walked over there.

Before he could get closer, he saw his colleague talking to the other end of the phone with a horrified expression, with lingering fear still on his expression.

"...I understand, I'll report to the higher-ups now..."

After speaking, he hung up the phone, and then he asked his colleague.

"Is it from the Earth Sentinel Observatory?"

The colleague nodded with difficulty.

"Yes, according to the 'Earth Sentinel' observatory, the orbit of this asteroid is quite close to the Earth..."

Hearing this, his pupils shrank slightly, and then his professionalism forced him to calm down. Then he looked at this new colleague and couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing can happen once in a few years, just report it truthfully..."

As he spoke, he forced a smile on his own, and the younger colleague calmed down a little after seeing this.

Then the two submitted a report to the expert group of the Longguo Astronomical Observatory.

Concrete results need to be known after consistent research.

A few days later, Ji Chengtian was woken up in the middle of the night by a loud phone ringing.

Generally speaking, people of Ji Chengtian's level live in houses with direct access to landlines, so they can be notified better if there are very urgent matters.

Ji Chengtian, who was woken up, rubbed his temples, and after his eyes regained clarity, he picked up the conversation.

"Hi~ I'm Ji Chengtian!"

After the voice fell, there was a rush of voices from the other end of the phone.

"Hello Jibu, I am Gong Jianbai, the director of the Longguo Astronomical Observatory. Recently, our station has observed an earth-like asteroid. After the orbit calculation by our station's expert team, the probability of its planetary orbit hitting the earth is estimated to be 50.00%. !"

After the voice on the other end of the phone finished speaking, even Ji Chengtian was stunned for a while, and then his mind went blank.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, and then said to the other end of the phone with a heavy tone.

"What you said is confirmed to be true?"

As he spoke, he quietly waited for the other party's answer.

"Jibu, it's absolutely true. The result is that after several days and nights of discussion, I have just arrived at the result. I have sent the detailed documents to your email as soon as possible. You can take a closer look!"

After receiving the confirmed news, Ji Chengtian's expression became more and more dignified, but it was just a dignified expression, not too much negative emotion. After all, he is the big boss in charge of a department, so he wouldn't be too rude.

Thinking about it, Ji Chengtian forced his mind to calm down, and then said.

"Okay, I understand. This news cannot be disclosed, so as not to cause panic. Remember, this is an order!"

"Yes, Jibu!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Chengtian hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Chengtian's expression showed anxiety.

If the news is indeed true, then something bad is going on!

Chapter 350 'God Slaying Plan'

This night was destined to be a night of tossing and turning for Ji Cheng.

After a lot of thoughts, Ji Chengtian decided to inform the top leaders of the Dragon Kingdom of the whole news.

This matter is no longer something that can be decided by a department, or even a country.

At the same time, among the major countries in the world, things similar to the Longguo Astronomical Observatory are also happening.

The senior leaders of almost every superpower got this notice immediately.

For the major countries of the world,

In just a few hours, human civilization has reached a crucial turning point.

It may seem unbelievable, but in fact the current human civilization is so small and fragile in the face of such great power.

So fragile that it doesn't even have the slightest reaction time.

At this moment, an unprecedented haze hangs over the heads of all human beings, just like the sword of Damox, which may cut off the progress of human civilization at any time.

So on the next day,

Including various superpowers including the Dragon Kingdom, high-level executives from various countries launched a joint video conference, and the main participating countries are the five countries that occupy the most important seats in the United Nations.

As soon as they learned the news, the top leaders of various countries handled it in the same way, keeping it strictly confidential so as not to increase panic.

So now, only these superpowers know about it.

Ordinary countries don't even have the qualifications to know.

To put it bluntly, other countries are not qualified to determine the future destiny of human civilization due to their strength!

Even if you participate in a meeting of this level, you can only stare blankly, which may only increase panic.

Under the premise of today's highly mature holographic imaging technology, joint video conferences are no different from real-person conferences.

After a while, the senior leaders of the various superpowers cast their screens into a common conference room one after another.

The departments attended by each country are also exceptionally consistent. They are all experts and scholars from the military of each country and the science and technology departments of each country.

The only way to solve this crisis is through the combination of technology and force!

Not long after, the meeting officially began.

The content of this meeting, named the Planetary Defense Conference, was to exchange the observed data and intelligence, as well as the orbital data calculated by the expert group.

After some comparison, the data and conclusions are similar.

From the data observed by major countries, it can be concluded that the diameter of this asteroid named "Reaper" is about ten kilometers, and the flight speed of the earth is 9.88 kilometers per second.

After orbit calculation, there will be a 55.7% probability of colliding with the earth in one month.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the probability of 55.7% is very small, and may not even be as high as the probability of "refilling another bottle" in buying drinks.

But the problem is that this is a major event related to the ecological changes of the entire earth. Even if it is only a [-]% probability, it cannot be underestimated!
