Earth Era

?

Time was still passing quietly, and the fact that there was a star suddenly appeared in the sky did not attract too many people's attention. But Zhao Huasheng is different. When the star suddenly appeared, staring at the starry sky on the reclining chair in the small courtyard every night became a must-do for Zhao Huasheng.

The star continued to increase its brightness in Zhao Huasheng's eyes. Ten days have passed since the star first appeared. During these ten days, its brightness has increased from fifth to fourth. This means that its assembly is nearing completion and is almost complete.

Generally speaking, if it is a comet, when the brightness is increased to this level, its comet tail can probably be seen with the naked eye. However, the tail of a real comet is only bright when the material ejected from the nucleus reflects the sun's light. Of course, this false comet created by human beings does not have such ability, and it is impossible to stretch out a magnificent comet tail. So it can probably only be disguised as an asteroid, not a comet. The Comet Deterrence Program should also be renamed the Asteroid Deterrence Program.

When people change the orbit of Comet Arthur, they mainly rely on the force of the eruption of the comet's nucleus to achieve their goals. And there is no such rich gaseous material on the asteroid, and there is no way for people to use this to change the orbit of the asteroid. And if it is directly claimed that humans rely on high-thrust engines to change the orbit of asteroids, it seems too false-because obviously, human civilization does not have such powerful technical capabilities.

So how to reconcile the contradiction between the two is a very tricky thing. However, Zhao Huasheng is not worried about this. Zhao Huasheng knows that the head of state and those in the scientific research department will definitely be able to find a reasonable explanation.

After the fake asteroid's brightness was boosted to fourth magnitude, its brightness largely stabilized. Instead of increasing rapidly, he began to slowly increase his brightness at a very slow speed. Zhao Huasheng knew that this process of slowly increasing the brightness was actually simulating the natural rotation of an asteroid, approaching the sun along its orbit.

It's not just plasma life that this fake asteroid needs to fool. It also requires deceiving the vast majority of Earth's human beings, even some scientists. The reason is very simple. If too many people know that the asteroid is fake, it will be difficult to keep secrets, and it is difficult to avoid these things being accidentally detected by plasma life forms. In order to be foolproof, it is only possible to deceive most of the people on the earth. So it has to be realistic. Be as realistic as possible. Not only that, in order to prevent someone from discovering that the asteroid's luminosity is not increased because it is close to the sun, but because of its own reasons, the human government has strictly prohibited many things during this period of time. Deep Space Telescope Observation Behavior.

As long as those big guys are not used, people will not be able to find the flaws in this asteroid. Most people will be deceived. Because the use of small telescopes can not see its flaws.

Half a month after the asteroid appeared, Zhao Huasheng finally saw relevant reports about the asteroid from the TV media. In TV reports, the asteroid got the name Apat and was called Apat Asteroid.

"Il Deep Sky Survey Telescope recently discovered a new asteroid, the asteroid number 2026tv1, the official name is Apat, scientists found that the diameter of the asteroid is about 1.1 kilometers. The overall presentation is inconsistent. Regular shape, with a total mass of about 1.7 billion tons, and an extremely smooth surface. It has a very high albedo, and it is speculated that its surface may be composed of water ice..."

The message disappeared from the TV screen after only ten seconds of broadcast. Apart from some basic data, the TV station did not broadcast any other information about the asteroid. This news broadcast is also very ordinary, without any abnormal performance, just like an ordinary small news that will appear at any time and will not get people's attention at all.

But Zhao Huasheng knew what that meant. If Zhao Huasheng is not mistaken. This news broadcast should be the first time it has entered people's field of vision, after this broadcast. There will be a second time, a third time. Even the hundredth, one thousandth report. The frequency of broadcasts about this asteroid will gradually increase following a normal process, and will eventually be valued by all mankind. The reason for choosing to do this is also because of realism. After all, it is very unreasonable that an asteroid that has just been discovered is immediately highly valued by human civilization.

Zhao Huasheng also knows that the human government will probably not specifically convey information about this asteroid to himself. In doing so, the traces of artificial carving will be too heavy. The way to transmit relevant information to Zhao Huasheng and also to plasma lifeforms by means of continuously strengthening news broadcasts is more logical and less likely to cause suspicion. At the same time, the human government is not worried about the possibility that Zhao Huasheng will not receive relevant news. Because under the extremely high-intensity information bombardment, as long as Zhao Huasheng is still watching TV, as long as Zhao Huasheng is still connected to the Internet, then Zhao Huasheng will definitely be able to receive news.

The fact did not exceed Zhao Huasheng's expectations. On the second day, there were more reports about the asteroid. Zhao Huasheng saw on TV that scientists had determined the orbital parameters of the asteroid and concluded that it would travel at an extremely close distance - this The distance is 170,000 kilometers - passing by the earth. After being affected by the gravitational disturbance of the earth, it will change its orbit and pass by the sun at a distance very close to the sun. It is estimated that its perihelion will be less than one million kilometers by then...

The asteroid is slowly attracting attention. Especially after a scientist proposed that "we may use this asteroid as a weapon to deter the solar civilization, so as to threaten the solar civilization and dare not retaliate against us", and it was reported by the TV station. The attention among people instantly rose to the highest level.

The TV station has further increased its tracking and reporting of the planet. Major observatories and telescopes have launched observations of the asteroid. More data about the asteroid have been mined, and people have even A detailed three-dimensional map of this asteroid was drawn, and its material composition, star structure, formation age, birthplace and other information were analyzed in detail.

Of course, all of this information is false, and it is all a play jointly performed by several scientists with the highest status in the scientific research department and the head of state. This play has fooled the vast majority of people in human society. Zhao Huasheng saw that discussions about this asteroid began to appear overwhelmingly on the Internet. On the Voice of Humanity website, the discussion about this asteroid covered almost the entire discussion area.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhao Huasheng not to touch these things. And Zhao Huasheng came into contact with these things, which meant that the plasma lifeforms came into contact with these things. During this period of time, the plasma lifeform fell into silence, and the communication with Zhao Huasheng began to decrease. So Zhao Huasheng knew that it had probably fallen into worry, and it was also anxiously waiting for the follow-up development of things.

This well-directed drama is continuing to develop. The Ministry of Scientific Research held a meeting specifically for this purpose. During the meeting, scientists strictly discussed and demonstrated the possibility of changing the orbit of the asteroid, and demonstrated this in terms of logistical support, technical equipment, resource consumption, and impact consequences. As a possibility of deterring solar civilization, and finally came to the conclusion that "we are fully capable of changing the orbit of this asteroid, and then let it hit the sun".

This meeting was broadcast live to every corner of the earth, including the TV that Zhao Huasheng was facing. Zhao Huasheng sat on the sofa and watched the live broadcast quietly. Zhao Huasheng knew that the plasma lifeform must have also watched the live broadcast completely and heard the conclusions drawn by the scientists during the meeting.

"First of all, the closest distance between it and the earth is only 170,000 kilometers~www.readwn.com~ This is much less than the distance of 4 million kilometers of Comet, which means that we can consume less resources to More supplies go to it."

"Secondly, its original orbit is so close to the sun, which means we only need to make extremely small orbital changes for it, and we can achieve our goal."

"Thirdly, the surface of the asteroid contains a lot of water resources, and the surface is smooth and the geological structure is stable, which means that the engine we transported to it can obtain a large amount of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as energy through the process of ionizing water. , we don't need to send too much energy to it; and the electricity required for ionized water can be obtained through solar generators... And because of its stable geological structure, the engine can work efficiently for a long time, driving it to change itself So, our conclusion is that it's entirely possible to change its orbit and eventually make it hit the sun, and we can do that."

The scientist finished the sentence with a solemn expression, and then sat down. There was a long-lasting applause in the venue, and a voice gradually gathered, and passed through the screen, came to Zhao Huasheng, and also came to the mind of the plasma lifeform: "Let those **** stellar people know, if If you dare to take revenge on the earth, we will dare to hit this thing on the sun!"
