Chapter 357 1 Moment of History - Jun 1 Shot
It is 40 kilometers away from the earth, and now, all the space shuttles have just begun to make contact with the asteroid.That is to say, the asteroid Apophis basically did not slow down; not only that, but also changed its direction, and fell towards the earth under the influence of the earth's gravity and the blocking effect of the space shuttle.
Now the speed is 45 kilometers per second, and the speed relative to the earth is 15 kilometers. If there is no block, it will fall into the earth in 7.41 hours.
Most importantly, calculated according to the current direction, it can hit Central Asia.
This still does not account for the effect of the acceleration of gravity on the earth itself.If calculated in this way, according to the influence of the earth's rotation from west to east, it may fall to the hinterland of China.
For a moment, everyone's expressions were extremely exciting.
You can't live by doing your own crimes!Some countries gloat: You deserve it, let you mess around!
"Once it is close to 10 kilometers from the earth, it will be destroyed immediately!" The president of the country finally issued an order.Just looking at the hands with bulging veins and the trembling body, you can see how difficult it is to give such an order.There are 1200 of the world's top planes and 1200 top pilots there; it is unknown how many of them will have no time to escape.The moment the asteroid is destroyed, there will be a violent explosion. Even the space shuttle of the master company cannot withstand this kind of impact.The scattered fragments may have a frontal impact speed of more than ten kilometers per second, which will be the deadliest threat.Once targeted by debris, no aircraft can escape in a hurry!
"Wait! We have to believe that those are the best pilots in the country!" Facing other people's inquiries, Mu Xinghai could only answer like this.Because at this time, there is really nothing you can do.All the previously calculated data need to be overthrown and restarted.Although the calculation speed of the computer is very fast, the input command is very slow.In particular, the current little star Apophis is changing every moment, and remote calculations don't make much sense anymore.The most is to transmit the observed data, so that the pilots on the scene have more accurate information to judge the current situation of Apophis.
In space:
"Second echelon, from seven o'clock to nine o'clock, the engine is turned off, and the rest are pushing forward with all their strength!"
"The first echelon, don't worry about anything else, push forward with all your strength, reduce the speed of the asteroid, and trust our companions."
"The third echelon, the planes in the direction from one to three o'clock, now leave the 'ring' team, pull sideways, and change the orbit of the asteroid!"
"All reserve teams, you have only one mission now, push forward with all your strength, and hand over other missions to other team members. Do your best to slow down the asteroid!"
The public channel is extremely busy, but neat and orderly; Huaxia's military quality is fully displayed at this critical moment.After breaking away from the headquarters, the four formations couldn't even adjust the data in real time, but they could change the asteroid's orbit and speed slowly by relying on their senses.
At this time, all computers, etc., can no longer provide effective orbit corrections, because the changes are too fast; in many cases, it is necessary to rely on the natural induction of the human body.Such as feeling acceleration, gravity, etc.
Of course, there are physical instruments, etc., which are also extremely important.
The most important instrument of the US moon landing, many people will think it is the most advanced computer and so on; in fact, American astronauts broke the news: the most important instrument is the sextant! ! !An instrument that existed in this era of great navigation.
Because the space is not smooth, and the space has certain distortions, the position of the moon observed on the earth is actually deviated; after optical observation in space, the orbit needs to be constantly adjusted.
And the current situation is just like this, electronic instruments can only be used as auxiliary calculations; real judgments are all done by manpower.This is the preciousness of top astronaut pilots, who can still make precise movements even when the computer fails.Just like a supersonic fighter jet, more than [-]% of the maneuvers cannot be completed by a computer.
This is a pinnacle of intelligence, a pinnacle that theoretically a computer can never surpass.
The busy space in space is tense and orderly; the space shuttle that lost its carbon fiber net made an emergency return, dragging the prepared carbon fiber net to continue fighting.
At this time, because of the roll, Apophis has been rolled up by the carbon fiber net; individual space shuttles exert force directly behind Apophis' buttocks.
More than half of the engines are S-series. In space, a large cloud of water mist has appeared at some point. Under the sun, it looks like a dream.
However, no one likes this thing, because it refracts light and blocks the direct observation of satellites and other equipment!
Even, because of retreating, the pilot's line of sight has been blocked.In space, it was really too cold, and all the sprayed water vapor turned into tiny ice crystals in an instant.
"Continue to work hard, the speed has been reduced to 41 kilometers, and it deviates from the direction of the earth. Phew..." Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, a full four hours have passed!
However, it still cannot be said that the earth is safe; because Apophis has entered within 20 kilometers of the earth at this time, and has been greatly affected by the earth's gravity.
"Calculate the possibility of using gravity to slow down!" Liu Haibo sent an application to the headquarters.
"Calculating...beep...it can be operated, and the data has been sent. Also, please note that once the asteroid cuts into a position 10 kilometers away from the earth, all space shuttles should leave immediately, explaining that the electromagnetic railgun will fully destroy the asteroid. planet."
The space base has been reduced to a supporting role, which can only help calculate various possibilities and data; everything can only rely on the excellent quality of the pilot.This is an extremely risky action, but it is also the only action that can be taken now.
"received."
"Third echelon, pay attention, the aircraft in the direction from one to three o'clock are now returned to the 'Ring' team; fully assist the asteroid to slow down. We are now using the earth's gravity to slow down, and strive to make the asteroid a satellite of the earth."
Although no sound can be heard, in space, the flight formation is still almost a circle. There is no obvious confusion in the four different levels of the circle. All actions are still orderly after they are separated from the command of the headquarters.
Ordinary people watched the excitement, only to cheer after the country announced the safety of the earth.However, countries such as Europe and the United States watched Huaxia's almost perfect performance thoughtfully.There are errors in the computer, so it’s nothing. In this regard, even the United States and other countries have not calculated those variables; because everyone has never had experience in capturing asteroids.
However, the high quality shown by Huaxia, including the pilots of the master company, really made these countries a little scared.The quality of these pilots is beyond imagination!Being able to operate calmly under such circumstances, even experts who really understand military technology are a little stunned.
