Start a Base

The long-awaited message finally came back.

"Discover asteroid! Discover asteroid!" The pilot's tone was excited and hurried.

"Radar is locked, the asteroid's orbit is normal, the speed is 18 kilometers per second, and the fleet starts to accelerate..." The fleet commander immediately issued an order.

call--!

In the Moyang Empire Command Center, people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The asteroid was finally discovered, which proved that the orbit calculation did not show much deviation.

The first step was successful!

"Combination begins, approaching...the distance is 13,790 kilometers!"

People who had just relaxed a little, suddenly began to feel nervous again.

It is countless times more difficult to merge orbit than radar to detect asteroids.

And there are only more than 10,000 kilometers, which means that when the Last Sun Empire got the news of the beginning of the merger, everything that was more than 10 million kilometers away had already happened.

Time retreated to 10 minutes before, after the fleet commander sent the merge report, he led the fleet to accelerate towards the asteroid.

The speed of 18 kilometers per second is almost a thousand miles on the surface of the planet.

But in the void of the universe, it seemed to be still. If it weren't for the vibration of the spacecraft's engine, the people inside would feel that they hadn't moved at all.

A few minutes later, a pilot reported: "Front right, visually found an asteroid!"

All the observation equipment of the spacecraft was thrown in that direction.

Sure enough, an asteroid with a diameter of more than 200 meters was found rolling forward, with pits and pits on the surface, showing an irregular shape.

"Brothers, success or failure depends on this, and you are all up to the point. If you miss the asteroid, you will have no extra power to turn and become wanderers in the universe. I don't need to say more about the ending, right?"

"Yes!"

"understand!"

The fleet pilots refreshed and stared at the radar, making the final orbit adjustments.

"Pilots loading nuclear fusion reactors, please note that anyone can make mistakes, but you must not make any small mistakes! Otherwise, everyone's efforts will be in vain!"

"Yes! Can't complete the task, come and see you!"

"The distance is 8660 kilometers!"

"The distance is 6328 kilometers!"

"The distance is 3100 kilometers!"

......

As the distance drew closer, Rao, a guard pilot with extremely strong mental qualities, also sweated in his nervous palms.

Because what this mission is about is much more important than their personal lives.

They are not afraid of death, but afraid that they will not be able to complete the task.

Thousands of logistics personnel worked hard for a month, mobilized a lot of resources, and shouldered the expectations of all human beings in the world. The Doyang Empire fleet finally began the final step of landing on the asteroid.

"The first spaceship is coming soon!"

Everyone instantly turned their eyes to the spaceship at the forefront of the fleet.

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

Boom!

"Successful landing!"

The first spacecraft landed accurately on the surface of the asteroid and extended its mechanical arm to firmly fix the hull on the asteroid.

A successful start has greatly increased the confidence of the soldiers.

In the next few minutes, the astronauts of the Last Sun Empire came home like a swarm of bees, landed on the asteroids one after another in groups.

Of course, not all spacecraft can succeed. At the edge of the asteroid, several spacecraft passed by and flew into the vast universe.

Some spacecraft found that their orbits were wrong, and they made a greater deviation due to emergency adjustments. They slammed on the asteroid and burst into flames.

The fleet commander did not have time to grieve for the sacrificed comrades, "Count the losses, and the spacecraft equipped with the nuclear fusion reactor will report the situation first!"

"Fusion 1 successfully landed."

"Fusion 2 successfully landed."

......

"Fusion 67 successfully landed!"

"Fusion 68 barely landed, the hull was damaged, and the loss of internal equipment is unknown!"

The commander shook his heart.

"Quickly, I want to know the condition of the equipment as soon as possible!"

"Yes! The investigation will be conducted immediately on the 68th."

A few minutes later......

"The equipment is in good condition and does not affect the use!"

call--!

The fleet commander wiped the sweat from his forehead, "God bless, there is no mistake at all."

"No. 69! Where's No. 69?"

The call was not answered, and the fleet commander had a bad feeling in his heart.

He immediately activated the radio communication, "No. 69, report your situation!"

"Sir, I...I'm sorry to be entrusted by the lord of the country. The landing failed. Now I am more than 3,000 kilometers away from the asteroid..."

"what?"

The atmosphere solidified at this moment, the nuclear fusion reactor parts were missing, and the consequences would be disastrous.

"Spacecraft 69, which part of the nuclear fusion reactor are you carrying?"

"Return to the sir, cooling device!"

"Cooling device?" The commander twisted his eyebrows and pondered. This is a key component. If there is no cooling device, the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, I am afraid that even the shell of the reactor will melt.

"Sir, the cooling device is loaded in several spaceships."

The commander hurriedly checked. Fortunately, all other cooling components landed successfully. The nuclear fusion reactor should be able to operate, but the power is not as powerful as the complete one.

"Spacecraft 69, activate the self-detonation system!"

Once the landing fails, it means that it is irreversible. The fate of this spacecraft has only one end in wandering in the endless universe, and the astronauts in it have no hope of survival. In order to prevent the unknown risks caused by human technology falling into the deep space of the universe, This self-detonation system was developed before departure.

"Spacecraft 69 has activated its self-detonation system, goodbye sir, goodbye brothers, good luck to you..."

"boom--!"

There was a short burst of noise from the radio, and then there was silence.

All the astronauts silently saluteed in that direction, then retracted their gazes and began to work in front of them.

"Other spacecraft, immediately assemble nuclear fusion reactors and install aero engines!"

"Yes!"

The cabin was opened, and a large number of robots walked out of it, carrying the equipment in the cabin, and walking towards the predetermined location.

"Report to the command center that most of the fleet successfully landed on asteroids, and one-fifth of the nuclear fusion reactor cooling components were lost!"

Ten minutes later, the Suyang Empire received this message.

Everyone was mixed with joy and sorrow. What was happy was that the fleet finally landed on the asteroid after crossing more than 10 million kilometers. What was worried about was how the missing parts of the nuclear fusion reaction device would affect the plan.

Li Wu and other related scientists are intensively calculating how effective the nuclear fusion reactor can be when one-fifth of the cooling device is missing.

At this time, the asteroid is only more than 10 million kilometers away from Saturn.

It will take at least a week to push it away from the existing orbit, so there is not much time left for mankind.

at this time.

"Master of the country! Master of the country!" Li Guang hurried over.

"what happened?"

Li Guang wiped his sweat and said, "My Lord, the latest calculation results show...show..."

Speaking of this, he was a little afraid to go on.

"Show what?" Li Yunpeng said solemnly.

"My Lord, because the asteroid was too far away, we could only determine the approximate orbit. Now that the distance is close, our team has recalculated and found that... the orbit of this asteroid is not complete. Coincident with Saturn!"

Snapped!

Li Yunpeng slapped the table: "What?"

"Made, there are more than 3,000 spaceships, more than 6,000 ace pilots, who have traveled tens of millions of miles, and now you tell Lao Tzu that the asteroid's orbit does not completely coincide with Saturn?"

Li Yunpeng was angry.

If Li Guang were not a top scientist, he would want to kill him now.

The sweat on Li Guang's forehead was like a waterfall, and it reappeared soon after it was wiped.

"My Lord, the calculation results of all scientists in the world are consistent! This asteroid poses a threat to Saturn, but there is no way to accurately measure it tens of millions of kilometers away..."

With the current level of human technology, it is indeed impossible to make accurate calculations. The global radio telescope monitoring results are the same, and the probability of an asteroid hitting the planet does exist.

This kind of high-speed celestial threat can't wait until the distance is enough to get an accurate result before acting. At that time, everything is too late.

"Made!" Li Yunpeng clenched his fists, "how much is the error now?"

"Back, my lord returning to the country, within 2000 meters..."

"How far will the asteroid pass by Saturn?"

"Yes, I slashed at a distance of 29,000 kilometers-31,000 kilometers from Saturn star..."

Li Yunpeng felt that he had ten thousand words of MMP in his heart, and he didn't know whether to talk about it or not.
