Chapter 357 A moment in history is at stake

It is 400,000 kilometers away from the Earth, and now, all the space shuttles have just begun to contact with the asteroid. In other words, the asteroid Apophis basically did not slow down; not just that, it also changed its direction, and fell towards the earth under the influence of the earth's gravity and the obstruction of the space shuttle.

Now the speed of 45 kilometers per second is 15 kilometers relative to the speed of the earth. If you do not make any obstacles, you will fall into the earth in 7.41 hours.

The most important thing is that according to the current direction, it can impact Central Asia.

This still does not calculate the impact of the earth's own gravity acceleration. If calculated in this way, it may fall to the hinterland of China based on the impact of the earth's rotation from west to east.

For a moment, everyone's faces were extremely wonderful.

You can't survive if you commit crimes! Some countries gloat about it: you deserve it and let you mess around!

"Once it approaches 100,000 kilometers of the earth, it will be destroyed immediately!" The President finally issued an order. Just looking at the hands that bulged with blue veins and trembling body, you will know how difficult it is to issue such an order. There are 1,200 top aircraft in the world today and 1,200 top pilots; at that time, many people will not have time to escape. The moment the asteroid is destroyed, there will be a violent explosion, and even the space shuttle of the expert company cannot withstand this kind of impact. The scattered debris, the frontal impact speed may be of more than ten kilometers in seconds, which will be the most deadly threat. Once aimed by the debris, no aircraft can escape in a hurry!

"Wait! We must believe that those are the best pilots in the country!" Mu Xinghai could only answer this way in the face of other people's inquiry. Because at this time, he was really powerless. All the data calculated before needs to be pushed back and started over. Although the computer's calculation speed is very fast, the input commands are very slow. Especially, the current little nova Apophis changes every moment, and remote calculations are no longer meaningful. At most, it is to transmit the observed data, so that the pilots on the scene can add more accurate information to judge the current Apophis condition.

In space:

"The second echelon, from 7 to 9 o'clock, the engine is turned off, and the rest are pushing with all their strength!"

"The first echelon, don't worry about anything else, push with all your might, reduce the speed of the asteroid, and believe in our companions."

"The third echelon, the planes in the direction of one to three o'clock, are now leaving the 'ring' team, pulling sideways, changing the orbit of the asteroid!"

"For all the reserve teams, you only have one mission now. Promote with all your strength and hand over other missions to other team members. Make every effort to reduce the speed of the asteroid!"

The public channels are extremely busy, but neat and orderly; China's military qualities are fully demonstrated at this critical moment. After breaking away from the contact with the headquarters, the four formations cannot even adjust the data in real time, but they can change the orbit of the asteroid little by little with their senses, and their speed is slowly decreasing.

At this time, all computers, etc. can no longer provide effective track correction because the changes are too fast; in many cases, they have to rely on the natural induction of the human body, such as feeling acceleration, gravity, etc.

Of course, physical instruments, etc. are also extremely important.

Many people think that the most important instruments for the moon landing in the United States are the most advanced computers, etc.; in fact, American astronauts revealed that the most important instrument is the sextant!!! Instruments that were found in this era of navigation.

Because space is not smooth and has a certain distortion, the position of the moon observed on the earth is actually deviated; after optical observation in space, the orbit needs to be continuously adjusted.

And the current situation is that, electronic instruments can only be used as auxiliary calculations; true judgments are all done by manpower. This is the valuable thing about top astronauts/pilots. They can still make accurate actions when the computer fails. Just like supersonic fighters, computers cannot complete more than 80% of the maneuvering actions.

This is a peak of wisdom, a peak that computers can never surpass in theory.

The busyness in space is tense and orderly; the space shuttle that has lost the carbon fiber web returns urgently, dragging the ready carbon fiber web to continue fighting.

At this time, due to the rolling reason, Apophis had been rolled up by the carbon fiber mesh; some space shuttles directly exerted force behind Apophis's butt.

More than half of the engines are S series. In space, a large area of ​​water mist has appeared at some point, and it is like a dream in the sun.

However, no one likes this thing because it refracts light and blocks direct observation of satellites and other equipment!

Even because of the retreat, the pilot's vision was blocked. It was too cold in space, and all the water vapor that ejected out instantly turned into tiny ice crystals.

"Continue to work hard, the speed has dropped to 41 kilometers and deviated from the direction of the earth. Huh..." Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, four hours had passed!

However, this still cannot be said that the earth is safe; because Apophis had entered the Earth's 200,000 kilometers at this time and was affected by the earth's gravity, which was already extremely huge.

"Calculate the possibility of deceleration using gravity!" Liu Haibo issued an application to the headquarters.

"It's being calculated... 时再... can be operated, the data has been sent. Also, please note that once the asteroid cuts to a position 100,000 kilometers from the earth, please leave immediately and explain that the electromagnetic rail cannon will destroy the asteroid with all its strength."

The space base has become a supporting role, which can only help calculate various possibilities and data; everything can only rely on the excellent qualities of the pilot. This is an extremely risky action, but it is also the only action that can be adopted now.

“Received, received.”

"The third echelon, please note that the planes in the direction of one to three o'clock will now return the 'ring' team; we will do our best to assist the asteroid in slowing down. We will now use the gravity of the earth to slow down and strive to make the asteroid a satellite of the earth."

Although the sound was not heard, the flight formation still maintained a circle in space. There was no particularly obvious chaos in the four rings of different levels. All actions were still orderly after leaving the headquarters command.

Ordinary people watch the fun, but only see the country declare the safety of the earth, and start to cheer. However, Europe and the United States and other countries are thinking about watching China's almost perfect performance. There is nothing wrong with the computer. Even the United States and other countries have not calculated the variables; because everyone has never had experience and has no experience in capturing asteroids.

However, the high quality shown by the pilots of China, including the master companies, really scares these countries. The quality of these pilots is beyond imagination! Being able to operate calmly in such a situation makes people and experts who truly understand military technology a little stunned.
Chapter completed!
