"We Lucians are invincible in space! Ula!" With this slogan, the Lucians' spacecraft was launched.
Along with it, there are more than 20 nuclear bombs with a yield of 10 million tons launched by the top five Blue Stars.
Because this mission was to use nuclear bombs to intercept meteorites in outer space, the trajectory of the nuclear bomb launched by the Blue Star Five this time was different from the normal parabolic trajectory. The nuclear warhead did not fall after leaving the atmosphere, but followed The Lucian spacecraft flew together in the direction of the meteorite.
After being blown up by the Federation people and pushed by the Yan Nation people, the meteorite split into two pieces, one large and one small, flying towards the Blue Star at the same speed from two adjacent but different orbits.
The larger meteorite, driven by the gravity of the moon and the thrusters installed by the Yanguo team, has now deviated from the impact orbit of the Blue Star and will pass near the Blue Star, but the smaller one still follows the original path. The trajectory will still hit the blue star.
However, this situation was still within the original expectations of various countries. The third part of the rescue operation was for the Lucians to use the spacecraft to guide the nuclear bomb to carry out a saturation nuclear strike on the small meteorite that hit the blue star, destroying it in outer space.
The original meteorite was more than ten kilometers in diameter. After the nuclear bomb exploded, the larger of the two meteorites it split into was about seven kilometers in diameter, while the smaller one was only a little over four kilometers in diameter. .
It sounds much smaller in size, but if it hits the Blue Star, the damage caused will be equally serious. It will just change from global destruction to the destruction of most of the Blue Star.
Therefore, even if the large meteorite has been pushed away from the impact orbit, this small meteorite cannot be allowed to fall on the blue star.
The best way to solve it is to intercept it in outer space and blow it into pieces with nuclear bombs.
As the most powerful and destructive weapon invented by mankind, the power of nuclear bombs is undoubtedly beyond doubt. However, the effect of detonating a nuclear bomb in space is completely different from that of detonating a nuclear bomb on a blue star.
Because the nuclear bomb used on Blue Star has air as the medium, its main damage comes from the shock wave generated by the explosion and the continuous secondary disasters caused by nuclear radiation.
However, in space, because the vacuum environment lacks media, the explosion of a nuclear bomb will not cause a shock wave, nor will it form the iconic mushroom cloud.
As for why the federals were able to blow away the debris flow on the surface of the meteorite twice when they detonated nuclear bombs, that is because the debris flow is the debris peeled off from the meteorite, which itself can act as a medium to transmit the impact of the explosion. .
As for radiation, to be honest, the nuclear bombs used by various countries are actually very clean and will not cause a large amount of nuclear radiation, let alone form a no-man's land like Chernobyl that cannot be inhabited for decades.
Furthermore, the radiation produced by a nuclear bomb explosion is nothing compared to the various types of radiation already filled in space.
But even so, the energy released by the nuclear charge carried by the nuclear warhead during the fission reaction can still cause astonishing destructive power. After all, the maximum yield strategic nuclear warheads used by various countries now have a charge of tens of millions of tons. level.
More than twenty megaton nuclear warheads can bomb a meteorite with a diameter of four kilometers, which is enough to blow it into pieces.
For this reason, most countries on Blue Star have actually become more relaxed after the astronauts from the Yan Kingdom and the Federation completed their missions.
After all, the previous missions of Yanguo and the Federation were very successful, and the mission of the Lucians was very simple. They believed that saving Blue Star had basically been successful.
In the eyes of these countries, after the Yan Kingdom and the Federation completed the tasks they were responsible for, the meteorite crisis was actually over. The next step was to wait for the pushed away meteorite to pass by Blue Star, and The meteorite that hit the blue star was completely shattered with a saturation nuclear strike.
Although it is risky to claim that the crisis has passed now, the impact of previous global crises has been very heavy for all countries.
In this crisis, countries around the world have suffered huge losses, whether in terms of economy or people's livelihood. Some small countries have simply fallen into chaos and collapse, and the entire country has suffered heavy losses.
Especially in Southeast Asia and Latin America, several countries have simply fallen into anarchy, and the entire country is in chaos, as if the end has come.
Under such circumstances, countries all over the world hope that the crisis can be resolved as soon as possible so that they can devote their energy and resources to post-disaster reconstruction.
Moreover, for countries that can still perform government functions, being able to enter the post-disaster reconstruction state as early as possible and reap the political dividends brought by successfully handling the doomsday crisis and guiding post-disaster reconstruction are the things that politicians care about most.
Therefore, it is now normal to guide people's emotions and prepare for post-disaster reconstruction. After all, every day the chaos and emergency continues, the losses caused are inestimable.
However, for the top five Blue Stars, they did not relax their vigilance. This was not only because there was another meteorite flying towards Blue Star in the sky, but also because the meteorite that had been pushed away from the impact orbit was still still impacting. The dangers of going to Blue Star.
This is not to say that there were any flaws in the completion of the missions of Yanguo and the Federation, but because at that time, the countries were completely desperate and did not strictly calculate the volume and orbit of the meteorite. The propellers and nuclear bombs that were thrown up could be found. And the largest number that can be sent up.
As for how effective these things sent up are, and to what extent they can be achieved, neither the scientists responsible for the command nor the astronauts working up there actually have any idea.
Although the mission has now been completed due to the efforts and sacrifices of astronauts from the Yan Kingdom and the Federation, the mass of the meteorite itself has exceeded expectations. Therefore, although the large meteorite has been pushed away from the impact orbit, in fact it is still Being in a very dangerous position.
When it passes through the blue star's orbit and is closest to the blue star, it will be interfered by the blue star's gravity. In this case, if the meteorite is directly impacted by the blue star's gravity...
No one can afford the consequences.
Therefore, the action team established by the United Nations not only did not relax its vigilance at this time, but also increased its monitoring of meteorites. It was calculating the orbits of the two meteorites 24 hours a day and providing data support for the Lucians. At the same time, all they could do for the meteorite that was pushed out of the impact orbit was to pray that it would not hit the Blue Star.
Because at this moment, humans no longer have the strength to deal with this meteorite.
All the nuclear bombs that various countries can launch have been launched into space to block the small meteorites that are about to hit the Blue Star. The aerospace power has been almost exhausted at this time. Although it is not impossible to send spacecraft that can go up to the sky, it can still fly on the meteorites. However, the space shuttle that drilled holes and the heavy-duty thrusters that could propel meteorites are gone. (End of chapter)
