Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 9: How many steps does it take to land a meteorite?
In the silent and endless space, the moon is quietly spinning around the blue star.
Not far from the moon’s orbit, a meteorite with a long bright and sparse comet tail is rushing towards the blue star. If there are no other factors, the meteorite will be a few days later. The collision with the blue star caused the mass extinction of the same blue star species as 65 million years ago.
It’s just that humans dominate the Blue Star today, not the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. The wisdom and technology we possess allows us to confront and survive the impact of such a huge meteorite. .
At this time in the lunar orbit, three aircraft that have completed acceleration are flying towards the meteorite with the most powerful weapon and hope of mankind, hoping to destroy the meteorite and prevent disaster and catastrophe.
"Houston, this is Endeavour, we are close to the meteorite and request approval to start the rescue plan." On the space shuttle Endeavour, the captain was talking to Blue Star.
The expressions of the seven astronauts in the cabin were very nervous at this time, but also with a little excitement and an incomparable sense of mission.
Because they carry the hope of all mankind, if the action is successful, they will also be heroes who will save the world.
Perhaps Hollywood has made too many movies to save Blue Star. These astronauts have more or less a federal heroism plot, feeling that they are the protagonists and will definitely be able to save the world.
This confidence gave the seven astronauts a lot of confidence. Together with the other seven astronauts of the other Atlantis, these astronauts from the Federation maintained a positive and optimistic attitude. Feeling that he can successfully complete the task.
Optimism is not a bad thing. After all, if they fail, what is waiting for the Blue Star will be a devastating end. The burden they carry is the survival of the trillions of creatures and species on the Blue Star.
In fact, the astronauts of the Federation Team, the Yan Guo Team, and the Lucia Team who were responsible for this mission, after knowing about the mission, all have special psychologists to give them psychological guidance, so that they are in a kind of Positive and optimistic.
Because the responsibilities they bear are too heavy, the life and death of all mankind and the fate of the entire Blue Star are imposed on them. If their psychological endurance is slightly weaker, they are likely to be emotionally collapsed.
Although the astronauts themselves are people with good psychological qualities who have been carefully selected through layers of screening, and the most experienced and best-quality astronauts are selected for this mission, this matter No one dares to bet that these astronauts can really withstand such a large psychological pressure on the mission of world safety.
In case any astronaut on the space shuttle cannot bear the pressure and emotionally collapses, it is likely to ruin the only chance for human beings to save themselves this time.
Therefore, the United Nations Action Team deliberately keeps these astronauts in a more optimistic state of mind, which not only makes them more emotionally stable, but also allows them to have a better state when performing missions, which can improve mission performance. Success rate.
At a time when the fate of the six billion human beings in the world is pinned on this mission, any method that may improve the success rate of the mission will be tried by the action team, as long as it is really effective.
It’s just that although the United Nations Action Team has mobilized all resources around the world, it is doing everything possible to **** and provide support for this rescue plan, hoping to increase the success rate of the mission as much as possible, but in fact everyone Knowing that this task is just a gamble, it's just a very small opportunity to gamble on the fate of all mankind.
But despite the gamble, mankind still has the hope of winning, that is, the astronauts of the three countries can successfully complete their mission and eliminate the threat of this meteorite impact.
So under the attention of six billion people around the world, the two space shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis, which were replied by NASA, flew towards the meteorite, and the space shuttle piloted by the Yanguo astronauts The device stayed behind, and they needed to wait for the Federation to complete the task before they could start their task.
On the Blue Star at this time, Chen Xin was using his mobile phone to discuss the topic of the rescue mission with his friends in the survival group, while watching the live broadcast of the Yanguo spacecraft on TV. The scenes of the two federal space shuttles flying towards the meteorites that arrived, really sweated them nervously.
Landing on the surface of a meteorite is not that simple. Even if the Federation uses a spacecraft that has the ability to take off and land like an ordinary plane, it is very difficult to land on the surface of a meteorite. matter.
First of all, the space shuttle is not directly rushing towards the meteorite. In that case, even if the space shuttle will have difficulty landing because the relative speed between the two is too large, it may even crash directly on the meteorite.
So the two space shuttles must keep the same forward direction as the meteorite~IndoMTL.com~ at sufficient speed to maintain a relatively stable state with the meteorite, so that they can land on the surface of the meteorite.
Because the orbital intersection point was calculated in advance, Endeavour and Atlantis, after accelerating by the moon’s gravity, approached the meteorite in a synchronized flight, and then reached the relatively flat surface of the meteorite. landing.
But the meteorite has now formed a comet tail as it gradually approaches the sun.
This is the track formed in space by the material on the surface of the meteorite under the influence of the solar wind. If you look at it on the blue star, it will be a very beautiful light band.
But if you want to pass through it, for the space shuttle and astronauts, it is equivalent to driving in a sandstorm or hailstorm. It depends on luck.
Good luck, it may just be a sandstorm with a little wind, and landing will be difficult but not terrible.
But if you are unlucky, it is hail. It is still possible to smash the window glass and hit the roof of the car with a large hail of pits, enough to destroy the space shuttle.
At this moment, the astronauts on the space shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis are really gamble with their lives, betting on a chance to land on the surface of a meteorite.
"Houston! We are in trouble. The meteorites are surrounded by debris streams. They are blocking our way. We need help!" The voice of the federal astronaut on TV made Chen Xin's worries come true. .
Because it is a simultaneous live broadcast to 6 billion people around the world, there is nothing to cut into the advertisement or cut the scene back to the studio. The Federal astronaut’s call for help can be said to be instantly made to the world. commotion.
In the small group established by Chen Xin and his friends, many people have already begun to cry that this rescue operation will fail and feel that they will live in a refuge for the rest of their lives.
