The success of the federal team greatly boosted the morale of the Yanguo team, and also made the 6 billion people on Blue Star eagerly awaiting it rejoice. Even Chen Xin was full of confidence in the success of this rescue operation at this time.
After all, the Federation people have completed the mission with their lives and completed one-third of the rescue operation. As long as the Yanguo team's mission is successfully completed, the meteorite will be pushed away from the impact orbit, and the impact of the Blue Star will cause a doomsday crisis. will be lifted.
At this time, everyone in the world has put down what they are doing, staring closely at the TV screen, paying attention to the people who are saving Blue Star 380,000 kilometers away.
At this time, the Yanguo team was encouraged by the success of the Federation team, and they also drove Yanguo's spacecraft to take advantage of the gap between the debris flow on the meteorite's surface and the exploding nuclear bomb, and rushed towards the meteorite.
Perhaps due to the change in the volume of the meteorite, or the lack of interference from the EMP shock wave caused by the nuclear bomb explosion, although the Yanguo team's signal was not very good as they approached the meteorite, they did not interrupt communication with Blue Star.
Thanks to this, six billion people around the world were able to clearly watch the Yanguo team gradually approach the surface of the meteorite through the camera installed on the Yanguo spacecraft, and watch the meteorite gradually transform from a large mountain in the universe into an entire land mass. process.
Chen Xin was also shocked by the scene captured on the screen. It was definitely not a scene that could be easily seen on Blue Star.
The Yanguo spacecraft is equipped with a wide-angle camera, so the images captured are wider than ordinary cameras, and the impact of the images displayed at this time is also more shocking.
The surface of the meteorite is uneven, and there are some pits formed by the impact of debris on it, which looks like a burnt cake.
But I am afraid that no one in the world will have an appetite for this cake because it is too big.
Even though they had been blown apart by the Federation people and split into two pieces, the two meteorites still had a diameter of several kilometers. As the spacecraft continued to approach, they continued to grow larger in sight until they filled the entire meteorite. The sight, the visual impact is indescribable and indescribable.
If I had to give an analogy, it would be like a stone as big as the Himalayas falling from the sky and hitting you right in the head.
Looking at the huge meteorite, Chen Xin couldn't help but think to himself, if such a large meteorite really hit the Blue Star, would humans really survive
He dug his own shelter, prepared food and water, and considered all aspects of the problem, but... there was a fatal flaw that Chen Xin could not deal with despite all the preparations he had made.
That's when the meteorite hit him. He was really lucky to survive. In other words, he was even more unlucky and the meteorite hit him on the head.
Although a meteorite with a diameter of several kilometers is not as powerful as when it was more than ten kilometers in diameter, if it hits Asia, Chen Xin can say with certainty that his chances of survival are slim.
At this moment, looking at the huge meteorite rolling in, he panicked and was afraid.
When faced with the disaster of a meteorite hitting the Blue Star, as an online writer who usually has a black hole above his neck, this kind of thing is not even worth mentioning in his novels. This also caused Chen Xin to face this disaster. Insufficient sense of crisis.
Although he tried his best to prepare various disaster response measures, he even calmly dug shelters, stocked up supplies, and was well prepared for survival in the doomsday...
But he didn't have a precise idea of the meteorite's attack.
This is like everyone knowing that tigers are dangerous, but how dangerous tigers are. Before they see a person being bitten to death by a tiger, no one will think that the one in the zoo cage is not too fat to walk. It's a soft guy like a big cat, but it's a ferocious beast that can eat people.
People always have to encounter danger before they truly realize the horror of danger.
The same goes for Chen Xin. He had no idea about meteorites before, so he could calmly respond to such life and death crises. But now when he saw with his own eyes how big the huge meteorite was, he was frightened.
Not only was he frightened, Chen Xin was also sincerely afraid. He was afraid that he would really die.
Just by watching it live on TV on Blue Star, you can feel such a strong impact and the pressure brought by this extremely impactful picture. You can imagine the astronauts who are facing this meteorite in space at this time. What kind of pressure do they have to endure
But at this time, on the Yanguo spacecraft, the astronauts from the Yanguo were not afraid of difficulties and obstacles. They withstood the pressure and shouldered the life and death of six billion people around the world. They drove the spacecraft towards the meteorite. .
Previously, when I saw the two space shuttles of the Federation team using nuclear bombs to blast away the debris flow and forcefully land on the surface of the meteorite, it seemed that it was not difficult. However, when the Yanguo astronauts drove their spacecraft towards the meteorite, they realized that it was difficult. How difficult it is.
Although the impact caused by the nuclear bomb explosion blew away the debris flow, this does not mean that landing on the surface of the meteorite is without danger.
Because there are still some gravels that have not been blown away, or not blown away enough, if a collision occurs, the hull of the ship will be damaged at least, and the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed at worst.
Fortunately, the spacecraft manufactured by Yanguo is more flexible than the federal space shuttle, and the astronauts also did relevant simulation exercises before departure. Therefore, with the astronauts' superb driving skills, the Yanguo spacecraft still went smoothly. It landed on the surface of the meteorite, and only a layer of paint was scraped off by the debris, and several antennas were damaged, but there was no major damage.
Landing on the surface of the meteorite was only the first step. Next, the Yanguo astronauts had to perform extravehicular operations to fix the main part of the spacecraft, the special heavy-duty thruster and fuel tank, on the surface of the meteorite, and then let it collide with the meteorite. The meteorite does work, propelling it to change its orbit.
Because the meteorite needs to be pushed, the landing site of the Yanguo spacecraft has also been carefully calculated to ensure that the installation point of the thruster is a suitable stress point. Otherwise, even if the thruster can push the meteorite, the direction of the thrust will be different from what is expected. If the direction is different, then all this will be in vain.
Fortunately, everything seems to be blessed by the gods. Although the Federation team lost a space shuttle, so far, all steps of the entire rescue operation are proceeding as planned. Even the Yanguo team's spacecraft has landed on In an ideal location.
As long as astronauts fix it to the surface of the meteorite, they can use the thrust of the thruster and the gravity of the moon to push the meteorite away from the impact orbit, thus allowing Blue Star to avoid a doomsday crisis. (End of chapter)
