Chapter 24: A Disaster that Cannot Be Avoided! (Please Recommend and Collect)
At 2:58:20 pm on August 15.
Ground observation centers of various countries suddenly observed that the meteorite that should have deviated from the orbit of the Blue Water Planet suddenly disintegrated.
A piece of meteorite fragments with a diameter of 11 kilometers immediately changed its orbit and hit the Blue Water Planet directly.
Moreover, as the distance to the Blue Water Planet got closer, the stronger the gravity of the planet acting on it, the faster the speed.
The astronauts in the space station were shocked to see:
A large group of meteorite fragments were moving at high speed and rushing towards the Blue Water Planet.
And according to calculations, if they were not intercepted, their speed would be accelerated to 25 kilometers per second when they reached the atmosphere.
The thickness of the entire atmosphere of the Blue Water Planet is only 1,000 kilometers, and it will directly hit the ground in less than 40 seconds.
······
Such a terrible situation was immediately sent to the desks of leaders of various countries as soon as it was observed.
This unexpected and severe emergency undoubtedly made the top leaders of various countries feel overwhelmed. Their high blood pressure soared instantly. For the elderly and those with poor mental endurance, cerebral hemorrhage was the best outcome.
A 100-kilometer meteorite was KOed in one, two, three steps...
The 12-kilometer meteorite was also divided and surrounded, and gradually eroded...
But the last big piece was clearly said goodbye - all mankind lined up to send it off.
Deeply afraid that the naughty child would miss his warm embrace and couldn't get through - the mother planet even pulled up its belt for this.
But... But, what does it mean to come back?
The farewell was not warm enough?
Faced with this situation, people from all countries want to curse: This is a rip-off! "
No matter how humans complain, spit can't push this meteorite away.
Fortunately, countries have already prepared emergency response measures, and now they are just used at the right time.
In fact, this is already a fortunate thing - the plan a second ago was prepared for a 25-kilometer meteorite, and now we only have to face an 11-kilometer one, and the difficulty has been reduced by more than half.
"There is still hope to stop it."
"After all, there are nearly a thousand nuclear bombs on the ground. Although there are no large-yield ones, don't forget that this is inside the planet. The power of the nuclear bomb can be fully released. As long as 3-5 hits are hit, it will be enough to eliminate all crises. "
The top leaders of various countries made a calculation and then held on to a glimmer of hope.
After all, the luck of the Blue Water Planet today can be said to have been off the charts.
The momentum is like a rainbow, but that's all.
······
2:58:55 pm on August 15.
According to the defense agreement agreed in advance, the six countries that now have nuclear weapons, Dragon Country, Bald Eagle Country, Polar Bear Country, Eagle Country, Rose Country, and Asan Country, need to launch a corresponding number of nuclear weapons.
The situation was so urgent that the space agency immediately began emergency calculations as soon as it got the first-hand information.
In just 35 seconds, the first wave of nuclear bombs from bases around the world, with a yield of tens of millions, and as many as 120, were launched into space one after another.
3:45 pm.
On the Blue Water Planet At the boundary of the atmosphere 1,000 kilometers high, all the nuclear bombs were blocked by the meteorite and exploded.
Why didn't they launch it earlier? More than 30 seconds were wasted in vain. Besides, wouldn't the explosion in the atmosphere bring a huge amount of nuclear radiation to the planet?
First, if the nuclear bomb wants to hit effectively, the coordinates of the interception must be calculated. Of course, the more accurate the better.
Second, 35 seconds is not a slap in the face.
The world's top scientists, combining the speed of the meteorite and the speed of the ballistic missile, have already calculated that launching a nuclear bomb 35 seconds later will just meet the meteorite at the boundary of the atmosphere.
If it succeeds and the meteorite is solved once and for all, the radiation brought by the nuclear bomb can also be minimized.
Why not intercept outside the atmosphere? Wouldn't the solar wind be able to blow away the radiation?
Interception requires supercomputers to calculate the coordinates, so I won't talk about it.
Power.
Power.
Power.
Important things should be said three times.
Outside the atmosphere is a vacuum environment. If a nuclear bomb wants to maintain its power, it must be released in the atmosphere.
Otherwise, the probability of 120 nuclear bombs intercepting in space and destroying the meteorite is too small.
You know, just now it took 2,000 missiles to destroy the 12-kilometer-diameter meteorite.
Converted to power, it is actually about the same as the current hundred or so.
Although, every time today is a matter of luck.
But luck is not blind.
That is after a lot of calculations, 99 points Sweat + a little luck, leading to success!
Just like buying lottery tickets, first look at the winning numbers in history, and then look through them again and again, and calculate them again and again.
Finally, I found a pattern that I think I recognize.
This way, the probability of winning is greatly increased compared to buying blindly.
Even if you can't win the first prize, 5 or 10 yuan will be fine, right?
The first wave of interception actually wanted this small prize. Effectively exploding 3-5 missiles is enough to solve this crisis.
As for radiation?
That's a problem to consider after the crisis is resolved.
Just like, you already live under the overpass, do you still have the time to think about eating instant noodles, is it healthy?
"Boom boom..."
There is no dubbing this time, it really happened on the blue water planet.
"What's going on?"
"Where is the cannon?"
Chu Feng, who was sleeping soundly, turned over and climbed up.
Sleepy eyes, he scanned the surroundings...
"No, the soundproofing here is super good?"
······
3:45 pm.
The first wave of interception was exciting - the 11-kilometer meteorite was pried into several pieces of different sizes.
Two large and two small, and there were also a varying number of small meteorite fragments.
According to the first-time calculation of ground observation equipment, the largest piece was nearly 4 kilometers long and landed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Secondly, the 5-kilometer meteorite fragment will land in the Pacific Ocean.
Another meteorite fragment of nearly 1 kilometer in diameter hit the Big Apple directly, and the last one had the smallest diameter of only 5 kilometers, and ran to Asan's house enthusiastically.
No nonsense.
The nuclear bomb emergency response teams of various countries immediately added the coordinates calculated by the supercomputer and fired the second wave of nuclear bombs, which was also the last wave of interception.
After all, there were only 32 seconds before the meteorite landed.
But you can't wait until the moment of landing to intercept - you have to intercept the meteorite outside the troposphere.
You still have to consider the radiation problem to some extent.
This leaves less time.
Success or failure depends on one hammer.
······
3:53 pm.
The second wave of missiles was launched, but the style was obviously wrong.
According to the defense agreement, once there is a meteorite over 2 kilometers that can cause a huge change in the global climate, all countries must follow the agreement and concentrate their firepower to solve it first based on factors such as the region and the landing point of the meteorite.
But when the missiles were actually launched, the countries found out... No, it should be the only two countries that already knew that there would be such a result.
That is - the number of nuclear bombs flying to the two world-destroying meteorites is obviously insufficient, more than half less.
This situation has cast an unsolvable haze over the people who are full of expectations.
