Are you really not behind the scenes?

After encouraging each other, they started chatting briefly.

It is roughly about what to do after returning to Blue Star, what to play, when to take on the mission again, etc.

After half a year of space travel, you will definitely have a good rest after returning. After all, it is impossible to accept and complete tasks like this all the time. It is impossible for anyone to bear it.

And their thoughts are either to go shopping, buy things, or to get to know the new world... They haven't been back for half a year, and they don't know what the world has become now.

With the current development of science and technology, it will be different if we don't see each other for a day, let alone not seeing each other for half a year.

Speaking of which, I heard that the country seems to be having a bad quarrel with the bald eagle on the other side of the sea, and I don’t know how far the dispute has gone...

The three astronauts were simply chatting here, talking about topics of interest to them. Time passed like this little by little, and then...

While talking about a very interesting topic, a sound similar to an alarm suddenly came to mind.

A red light appeared in the space station, and alarms sounded in the space cabin. The astronauts were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted and got up without hesitation and came to the main cabin.

They carried out the inspection very skillfully without any panic.

As astronauts, they are able to fly here not only due to luck, but also to great perseverance and strong hearts.

Even if you encounter an emergency, you can handle it very calmly.

And it was this kind of heart and strength that allowed them to quickly see it.

It's not the flight cabin... It's not the space station that has a problem, it's the problem outside the space station, in space!

Far, far away from the space station... Outside the solar system, a red light spot is rapidly approaching here!

"Contact the state immediately! Hurry!"

The captain immediately issued his order. Although the space station could sense the approach of something, he did not see clearly what it was, so he immediately reported it to the country after discovering it.

Through his contact, the country also received the news immediately.

The space agency responsible for Shenzhou XIII immediately conducted an investigation. After using all available means, the staff of the space agency captured such a picture...

——In the endless universe, something like a comet with a long tail is coming towards the earth at an extremely fast speed!

After seeing the unknown thing clearly, the staff of the space agency were stunned involuntarily.

what is that! ?

Meteorite?

How can it be! ?How could it be a meteorite! ?

Of course they know about meteorites. For those who work in the space agency, meteorites are familiar things.

As for the comparison of meteorites, they will discuss them in terms of density. After all, when meteorites fall into the blue star, they have to be burned in the ozone layer, and then they fall after they are almost burned.

And meteorites that are too large rarely fall on the Blue Star. So far... at least since the beginning of human civilization, there have been no large meteorites falling.

So the diameter of the meteorite is not of much value to them.

But now... what is going on?What is this?

The diameter of this meteorite is... tens of thousands of meters...

Chapter 155 This is a natural disaster!

Among human civilization, there are almost no known giant meteorites that have fallen on blue stars. The huge craters discovered today, such as the Wilkes Land Crater and Manigougan Crater in Antarctica, are among the Huge craters with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers were smashed on the Blue Star, all before human civilization.

For example, the end of the Permian period, the end of the age of dinosaurs...the craters of these eras are the largest craters discovered by humans.

Most of these craters have been buried in the ground. After all, hundreds of millions of years have passed, and they should be gone anyway.

The only prehistoric crater exposed to human vision and visible to the naked eye is the Manigougan crater in Canada.

It is said that the Manigogan crater appeared about [-] million years ago in the late Triassic period. An asteroid with a diameter of five kilometers hit the earth, creating a large hole with a diameter of [-] kilometers.

There is also a chain of craters around the Manigougan crater, so some experts believe that the formation of the crater chain was caused by a large meteorite splitting outside the Earth's atmosphere and then falling one after another.

Although continental drift has spread these craters around the world, they were all together [-] million years ago.

In other words, the Manigogan crater in Canada may have been created by a larger meteorite that split apart to form a five-kilometer-diameter meteorite.

So, if the meteorite had not separated, how big would the crater be?

Don't know...no one knows.

But soon, humans may learn...

A huge meteorite with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, coming at an indescribable speed and impact... is rushing towards the Blue Star!

"Damn it, what the hell is that... report it to the higher-ups immediately and ask for instructions!"

"The astronaut quickly evaded to avoid the impact of the meteorite!!!"

Although he didn't know what it was, and although he didn't know what he should do now, the director of the space agency immediately ordered to avoid it and asked his superiors.

The astronauts cannot withstand the impact of this meteorite... For example, the space station is still too far behind in the face of a size that is almost the same as an asteroid.

It's almost like a mantis trying to act like a chariot!

Therefore, the director of the space agency issued such an instruction without hesitation.

However, as soon as the director gave the order, a staff member couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Bureau, Director! That thing is moving so fast. It has already passed Pluto and is flying towards Neptune. In about 10 minutes, it will reach the outer edge of Blue Star. The space station will not have time to hide!!!!"

"What did you say!?"

There used to be nine planets in the solar system, but one of them, Pluto, was eliminated.

Pluto was originally recognized as a planet, but at the International Astronomical Union Congress held in [-], more than [-] astronomers voted to approve that there are only eight planets in the solar system, and Pluto is no longer one of the traditional nine planets. .

As a result, Pluto was stripped of its planet status and became a so-called dwarf planet.

The reason Pluto was excluded from the major planets was because Pluto did not meet the third condition for being a planet.

Originally, as a planet, it must meet three conditions, that is, it must orbit a star in an approximately circular orbit; it must be massive enough to rely on its own gravity to make celestial bodies appear spherical; and it must gradually clear away celestial bodies near its orbit.

However, Pluto did not meet the third requirement, and Pluto's satellite Charon was too huge, forming a double planet system. Therefore, according to this definition, Pluto was removed from the planet and became a dwarf planet.

But these are not the point. The point is that Pluto is the outermost planet in the original solar system. From Pluto to the solar system, you have to pass through Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars before you can reach the Blue Star.

It takes five planets to reach the Blue Star. This distance, even if you fly here at the speed of light... well, even if you fly here at the speed of a comet, it will take some time.

But now, only 10 minutes? We're going to hit each other in less than 10 minutes?

The solar system includes the sun and eight planets, nearly 120 moons and at least [-] million asteroids, as well as some dwarf planets and comets.

If the orbit of Neptune is used as the boundary of the solar system, the diameter of the solar system is 90 astronomical units, or about [-] billion kilometers.If the heliosphere is used as the boundary, the sun can be up to one hundred astronomical units from the boundary of the solar system.

Even if light flies at a speed of [-] million meters per second in a vacuum, it will take almost eight hours.

But now... we are about to collide in less than 10 minutes. Are you sure you are not joking, are you serious?

"Director, what should we do? If this continues, it will definitely be hit! Not only will the space station be hit, but Blue Star will also be hit!"

The staff made a sound requesting instructions.

The asteroid with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters flew in at a speed exceeding the speed of light, and was not swallowed up by the flames. Its huge density and unparalleled speed, once it hits the blue star, will inevitably cause the blue star to suffer a devastating blow.

The world's largest crater, Wilkes Land in Antarctica, has an area of ​​more than 400 kilometers. But how big would it be if it were hit?

five hundred?Six hundred?Or a thousand?two thousand?

No...it could even be bigger!

That is simply not a natural disaster that humans can fight against!

The director couldn't help but clenched his palms. Although the sudden situation made him feel a lot of pressure, he still withstood the pressure and issued such an order without having time to report it to the superiors.

"The space station evades at full speed, avoiding the target's forward position, walking to the safest place, avoiding meteorites and space debris!!"

10 minutes is not enough time to move to a safe place. Even if it is not hit, because other things brought by that thing during its flight will definitely damage the space station...

If the space station is gone, it is gone. With China's strength, it is not impossible to do what has happened before, but the key is that there are still three astronauts on it!

But now, he has no other orders besides this one.

Originally, the location of the space station was very good. It avoided the asteroid belt and space debris and was a very safe place. But how many other things this thing brought when it flew over and whether it was still safe? And know it.

The space agency's order was sent out, and the astronauts in space immediately dodge and take action, trying to get to a safe place within these 10 minutes to avoid the crisis.

At the same time, the director gave orders loudly.

"Conjecture, predict where that thing will land on the Blue Star, we must be quick! We don't have time!"

Chapter 156: The dead Taoist friend is not dead but the poor Taoist

At this time, the director of the space agency is facing pressure from two aspects. On the one hand, the astronauts were unlucky enough to enter the navigation position of that damn thing. On the other hand, the thing has hit it now and they are not sure where it is. .

If...if that thing falls on China's territory, then the damage and losses caused...

Just thinking about it made the director feel desperate.

Therefore, it must be fast, it must be fast!

Before the meteorite falls, before there is still time, we must hurry!

At the same time, he also reported the matter as soon as possible.

However, the answer I got after reporting it... maybe it was too late to get the answer... no one knows.

What is that thing, and why does it suddenly appear and advance suddenly... It seems to be heading towards the Blue Star with a purpose.

All staff members are carrying out the director's orders in an orderly manner, and they are under great pressure, but they must also withstand this pressure and cannot be careless or make any mistakes.

They must accurately grasp the location of the asteroid landing! ! ! !

The workers seemed to be sweating all over, and their hands and feet were very stiff. Even though the prediction should be a very simple and very fast thing, they felt that a long time had passed.

Everyone seems to be living like a year.

And then...the results show up.

When the results appeared, the staff was slightly stunned.

When they looked at the displayed data, their nervousness suddenly relaxed.

"Director, you've guessed it! It's not our country. The place where the asteroid fell is not our country!"
