Chapter 1569: Predicting Natural Disasters
Belle fell asleep. Jiang Hao tapped her sleeping hole to avoid waking her up. He took out his laptop and connected it to the telescope, and said to Xiaoxin: "Check the location of this star map to see if this asteroid is recorded online."
Xiaoxin quickly compared it.
The International Minor Planet Center (MPC) is an international organization that specializes in observing and monitoring asteroids. It also shares data with astronomical observation units in other countries around the world. Under normal circumstances, the asteroid Jiang Hao saw should be recorded in the database.
In fact, there are thousands of asteroids around the earth every year, and most of them pose no threat. There is no need for him and Belle to be surprised when they see an asteroid. It’s just that after Jiang Hao saw the asteroid , a sense of crisis arose in my heart, this was unusual.
Afterwards, he made further calculations and concluded that the asteroid would bring disaster to the earth, which confirmed his previous feeling.
"Dudu~Boss, we found it!" Xiaoxin sent back the message.
Brush~!
A page popped up on the computer screen, which showed the monitoring data of the International Minor Planet Center. After Jiang Hao read it, he found that this asteroid was detected by monitoring three months ago, and its orbit was calculated and named 2020NB4.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Hao saw a NASA scientific report on the 2020NB4 asteroid. The diameter of 2020NB4 is expected to be about 1.2 kilometers to 2.1 kilometers, with an irregular oval shape, surrounded by a meteorite belt of several hundred kilometers.
Its flight speed is about 8.7 kilometers per second. According to orbit calculations, 2020NB4 will fly by the Earth at close range in one and a half months. At that time, its closest distance to the Earth will be about 6 million kilometers. This distance data is the longest in the universe. Therefore, space agencies such as NASA also list 2020NB4 as a near-Earth object, which poses a potential threat.
Of course, the final conclusion is that this asteroid will not hit the earth and will not cause any danger to the earth.
Is there really no danger?
In fact, human beings' understanding of the universe is still very primitive. The situation in the universe is ever-changing. Who knows whether there will be any changes. In short, Jiang Hao is now full of crisis about this asteroid.
This is not a little guy. It is about 2 kilometers in diameter. It is already a very large asteroid. If it hits the earth, the destructive power will be unimaginable, and it may even cause a crisis of human extinction.
According to scientists' calculations, the reason why the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago was because an asteroid with a diameter of 10 kilometers hit the earth, which caused great changes in the climate and ecology. The earth did not see sunlight for a long time, causing the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.
The above information is not kept secret by the International Minor Planet Center MPC and NASA. Jiang Hao also checked the information they released to the outside world. Like their internal information, their calculation results are that it will not have any impact on the earth. It will be like Halley. Like a comet, it passes by the earth.
At the beginning of the report, some people paid attention to this news, and some people were interested in calculating how much damage this comet would cause if it hit the earth.
According to calculations, the total weight of this asteroid is about 12 billion tons. If it hits the earth head-on, it will be as powerful as 47 million atomic bombs exploding simultaneously.
What's more serious is that the smoke and dust raised by the explosion will fill the stratosphere with a large amount of dust, which will block the sky and prevent sunlight from penetrating, triggering global cooling, which will be an unprecedented catastrophe in human history.
Disasters may kill billions of people. Those who are lucky enough to escape explosions and fires will also face long-term food shortages, and people will die of hunger. Even if a small number of people hope to survive the initial catastrophe, they will face extremely difficult life on earth next.
Even if the large meteorite does not land, even if the small meteorite fragments following it hit the earth, they will cause extremely serious damage to human society. A meteorite with a diameter of tens of meters or more has the power of several atomic bombs. Can easily destroy a city.
However, this news was only popular in a very small circle for three days, and no one paid attention to it after that. After all, scientists concluded that it would not visit the earth, and humans could eat and play.
Jiang Hao looked at the telescope again. In the lens, the asteroid was slowly flying towards here with a group of boys.
Scientists calculated that he would not visit the earth, but his own feelings told him that it would bring disaster.
Who to believe?
Jiang Hao naturally believed in himself.
Many times the conclusions scientists draw are correct, but sometimes these guys are also very unreliable.
The next day.
Saying goodbye to the reluctant Belle, he returned to the villa and called Markov to ask him to find a clean yard. Markov didn't know what the boss was going to do, so he didn't dare to neglect, and took Jiang Hao to the suburban villa.
A table was moved from the house and placed in the garden. With a wave of his hand, fruits and melon tributes, incense burners, talismans, swords and other objects appeared on the table. There was also a laptop next to it, which was open.
Markov was amazed when he saw it, but he was even more curious about what Jiang Hao was doing? "Boss, what are you going to do?"
"Fortune telling!"
After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he gathered his mind and bowed to the altar, put three sticks of incense, praised Sanqing Taoist, Qin Guan Emperor, Tianshi Shenjun, and worshiped the gods.
After worshiping the gods, Jiang Hao picked up the Chunjun Sword and shook a sword flower. He stepped on the Gang Steps and stepped on the Seven Stars. He put the sword on his back and made calculations with one hand. At the same time, he said, "Little Xin records.”
"The heavenly stems and earthly branches, the five elements generate and restrain each other, and the hexagrams of the Book of Changes."
Jiang Hao is going to make a big hexagram to calculate the details of this natural disaster. A big hexagram like this for heaven and earth is more difficult than calculating the destiny of the country. What about the four pillars and eight characters, the method of Najia, the easy number of plum blossoms, the number of purple dou, etc. It doesn't work at all. You must use the I Ching to calculate.
Every time Jiang Hao calculates a hexagram, he will ask Xiaoxin to record it. He keeps making hexagrams and calculating step by step from the hexagram images.
Markov watched quietly from the side, not daring to disturb him. Although he couldn't understand what the boss was doing, he felt that the boss looked so powerful, and he was probably performing some kind of mysterious religious ceremony.
Finally, after Jiang Hao started a hundred gossips, he had a clear understanding in his heart.
This time it is not a major natural disaster, and the earth is not in danger of destruction, but it does appear to be injured. It should not be a large asteroid hitting the earth. The problem lies in those meteorite fragments.
Don't underestimate those meteorite fragments, which are hundreds of meters in size and tens of meters in size. If they break into the earth and hit the sea, they may cause a tsunami and hit a city, which may destroy a city.
Scientists only observed the situation of the asteroid, but ignored its younger brothers. The asteroid has a group of younger brothers scattered around. Are there any farther away?
Even with current technology, those small fragments are extremely difficult to find, and they are scattered over a wide range.
This is not impossible. Halley's Comet is a typical example. Halley's Comet has a diameter of 11 kilometers. When its big tail passes the earth, it will throw off some debris and form a meteor shower. This is a scene that is talked about by many astronomy enthusiasts.
In space sports, perhaps a small factor can change their trajectory. If the runway is open to the earth, the harm caused by these small meteorites is not light.
Considering the crisis, how to avoid this crisis, Jiang Hao thought about it.
Seeing Jiang Hao stop, Markov quietly walked forward and asked in a low voice: "Boss, was it successful?"
He didn't know what Jiang Hao was doing, but he was definitely right to ask whether he was successful or not.
"Successful." Jiang Hao nodded slightly.
"What's the conclusion?"
"The conclusion is that a batch of meteors will hit the earth, each one as powerful as several nuclear bombs."
Markov's eyes widened in fright. Only then did he realize what Jiang Hao was doing. He was conducting astronomical research, but he understood the impact of the meteorite and quickly asked: "Is Cyprus safe?"
Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he calculated and concluded that the city they were in was very safe, and Cyprus was also becoming safer.
After getting this result, Jiang Hao suddenly smiled. He finally knew what to do. He could not accurately calculate the harm of every meteor, but he could calculate whether any place on the earth was safe. This could also reduce disasters.
Jiang Hao looked at Markov and said: "I'll give you two tasks. First, try to exchange cash during this period. It would be best if you can buy gold. Second, short the stock market, Europe and the United States."
Markov thought for a while and nodded vigorously, "I understand. It seems that another big disaster is about to happen!"
Jiang Hao patted Markov on the shoulder, "During this period, no matter how important it is, don't leave Cyprus, remember?"
"Understood boss, never leave Cyprus!"
It took Jiang Hao half a day to make a video. He hoped that through this video warning, he could remind governments of various countries to pay attention to the asteroid incident.
Title: "Jiang Hao has a premonition that a major crisis is about to come to the earth. Please pay attention to it!"
As soon as Jiang Hao's video was posted online, many people saw it, "Ah, the master of prophecy has made a new prediction. What is the major crisis?!"
People immediately clicked excitedly.
The first scene in the video is a scene of a meteorite hitting the earth. The meteorite burst into flames, trailing a long trail of flames behind it, and smashed into the sea with devastating power. The sea set off huge waves, forming a tsunami. swept the seaside city.
The meteorite hit the city hard, and the huge city was destroyed by the huge explosion shock wave. Countless people died tragically, and civilization was gone.
As soon as the scene turned, Jiang Hao appeared in front of the camera with a heavy face and said: "Everyone has seen the scene just now. The meteorite hits the earth. Even if it is only more than ten meters in size when it reaches the ground, the destructive power it can cause is enough to rival that of several A nuclear bomb.”
The screen changed, and a starry sky map appeared next to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao said: "This is the 2020 NB4 asteroid. It was discovered more than three months ago. The International Minor Planet Center and NASA monitored and calculated it and came to the conclusion It will not hit the earth, but will pass by about 6 million kilometers away from the earth. It will take about 45 days to reach the closest point to the earth. "
"Six million kilometers is equivalent to 15 times the distance from the earth to the moon. It is said to be a very far distance, but in terms of space, this distance is actually very close. When Halley's Comet is closest to the earth, it is 63 million kilometers away. kilometer."
“Although experts have calculated that the orbit of 2020NB4 will not hit the earth or have any impact on the earth, but just yesterday, I really felt that this asteroid gave me a great sense of crisis. "
"I have a feeling that 2020NB4 will bring disaster to the earth. Maybe it's not the main meteorite, but those fragments. In short, I hope that governments of various countries can see this video and make preparations in advance to reduce disasters."
At this point, Jiang Hao's face flashed with sadness, and he said in a heavy tone: "In fact, every time, I hope that my premonition is wrong. I have a particularly strong intuition about disasters since I was a child, but every premonition makes me feel heavy!"
"We live on this earth, it is our common home, and everyone is its child. I hope everyone will love the earth and protect our common home, which is also protecting ourselves."
