Although Hawking has renounced British citizenship, the Queen of England and the Prime Minister still sent him a letter of blessing and a letter of thanks to Jiang Chen. Although relations with Europe are gradually deteriorating, the Future Group has unexpectedly gained British friendship.
Maybe it is due to historical factors, or the Rothschilds ’control of the British home is not as good as it was at that time, or it is just because of an old man who is well-known in the scientific community.
Jiang Chen did not charge Hawking for surgery, but he was asked to join the University of Corot as a professor of physics. Although under the Jiang Chen’s money offensive, the University of Corot has recruited a large number of excellent teachers from all over the world, but there is really no face here except Rafael Leif, the 17th president of MIT. Top professors enough to post on admissions advertisements.
The arrival of Hawking has undoubtedly solved this problem. Because of his entry, the influence of the University of Koror was abruptly elevated by more than one level.
Of course, to cure Hawking’s gradual freezing disease, Jiang Chen is not just to advertise future human beings and to sign a sign for the University of Corot. These are secondary, and what he really likes is Hawking’s accomplishment in the field of cosmological research.
The next day after recovery, Jiang Chen went to the Coro Central Hospital again to find him. After asking his wife and children to avoid it, he explained his intentions.
“Asteroid mining plan?” Hawking frowned slightly.
“We have noticed your research on the Benu asteroid and the prediction that it will collide with the earth in 2135. If you can provide us with research information about this asteroid, then Just help a lot. “Jiang Chen said.
In fact, Hawking ’s attainment in the profession of a prophet is far less prominent than his attainments in physics and cosmology. Like his previous series of predictions, this prediction that the Benu asteroid will collide with Earth in 2135 has not been fulfilled … because as early as the beginning of the 22nd century, this asteroid with a diameter of about 500 meters It was mined by NATO.
In terms of aerospace technology, NATO over the end of the world has gone a little further than PAC and CCCP, and has been very cautious about the confidentiality of related technologies.
The Pan-Asian cooperation library database does not contain detailed information about the Benu asteroid, such as the most critical orbit. However, in the database compiled by the technicians at Camp 27, Jiang Chen accidentally discovered the relevant model of the asteroid capture technology.
According to Lin Ling’s description, Benu asteroid is one of the earliest captured asteroids and one of the easiest to capture. Taking this asteroid for surgery, it is undoubtedly the most suitable tool for the practice of star ring trade where aerospace technology is in the “emerging stage”!
However, after listening to Jiang Chen’s plan, Hawking was extremely worried.
“Have you thought about the disaster of failed mining?”
“The orbit of the Benu asteroid is extremely close to the earth, and every 6 years when it passes through the earth ’s orbit, we can even” see “it from the earth. If your mining almost reduces its speed, resulting in It was captured by the gravity of the earth, and the only result was a direct collision with the earth! Have you considered this consequence? “Hawking looked at Jiang Chen and said seriously.
“Of course considered,” Jiang Chen said with a smile, “Because our plan is to slow it down, it will eventually be captured by the gravity of the Earth-Moon system, and it will remain stationary within the Earth-Moon system, at a height lower than the lunar orbit, Orbit the Earth along with the moon. Our scientists have calculated the most suitable orbit for ‘storing’ the asteroid, “
Hawking looked at Jiang Chen speechlessly, and said after a while.
“Either you are a genius or a lunatic. If you calculate a decimal point wrongly, all humans must be buried for your mistakes.”
“I am very honored to receive this honor, but such an accident simply cannot happen.” Jiang Chen said with a smile, “I swear, my plan is foolproof.”
Hazy eyes stared straight at Jiang Chen, and after a long silence, Hawking finally sighed.
“Although I want to stop you, I’m afraid I don’t have that ability at all. If you can increase the success rate of your plan, my research results on the Benu asteroid, you can take it. In addition, although aerospace Machines and mining are not areas that I am good at, but if it is a field related to cosmology, what is there for me, you just tell me. “
After hearing Hawking’s words, Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.
“Thank you for your understanding. Speaking of which, besides the Benu asteroid, I have one more important thing that needs your help.”
“What’s the matter?”
“In an experiment, our scientists accidentally observed a particle from a high-dimensional universe … we called it the Klein particle. It contains some mysteries related to cosmic phenomena such as time and black holes, but It is a pity that we have little value for it. If you are interested, I hope you can participate in the relevant research. “
……
As early as the beginning of the year, Jiang Chen had plans to capture this asteroid with abundant mineral reserves. Although various practical issues were not disclosed, the preparations have never been stalled. For example, research and development and construction of mining rockets, design of capture solutions, etc …
The asteroid capture program will be divided into three steps: landing, weaving, and traction.
The so-called landing is to launch a mining spacecraft, accelerate to the same orbit as the asteroid, and land on the surface of the asteroid to start construction.
Weaving a net is to weave a tough enough “net” to wrap this asteroid shell with a diameter of about 500 meters. The preferred material is naturally graphene, whether it is toughness or strength, this material is very suitable for weaving this giant net.
Finally, traction is the most difficult and critical part, which involves quite complex mathematical problems. In addition, according to the estimation of the Space Launch Center, to complete the artificial orbit change of the asteroid, to decelerate it and be captured by the Earth-Moon system into a safe orbit, at least eight RM-320 rocket engines are required to be deployed at the end of the trawl, and through ignition, The flameout sequence and speed difference control the orbit of the asteroid.
A careless one, the asteroid will leave the earth forever, and the asteroid will hit the earth fiercely. The star ring trade can only reduce the impact of the “Benu” asteroid The ecological disaster caused.
Jiang Chen would not dare to implement such a complicated project if it were not for quantum computers to process data.
And even if there is a quantum computer as a data processing tool, and there are only a few words about the Benu asteroid in the last days, this project also has a lot of uncertainty. As Hawking said, the person who made this decision was either a genius or a lunatic.
But the first step is to take it out.
So, after repeatedly reviewing Kerwin ’s plan, Jiang Chen neatly signed his name on the document and approved the implementation of the plan. In order to avoid unnecessary consequences, Jiang Chen did not report to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs in accordance with procedures, but launched five mining rockets into space under the guise of building a “large space station.”
Benu ’s asteroid has traveled to the Earth and will pass through the Earth ’s orbit at the end of December. It will be the best time to complete the final link of the asteroid capture plan, the “orbit change”. If you miss it, you have to wait another six years.
In order to seize the chance of meeting every six years, the asteroid capture project will be synchronized with the space elevator! (To be continued.)
