Chen Xin didn't know whether the missile defense system that the Federation was proud of could intercept the meteorite. He only knew that the meteorite was probably going to fall this time.
Although the female host on TV who had just said excitedly that the Lucia spacecraft would guide a nuclear bomb to destroy meteorites was still pretending to be calm and saying the same thing, her expression has now become very serious, even Still with a bit of nervousness and panic.
After all, the original more than twenty nuclear bombs were prepared for a meteorite with a diameter of four kilometers. Although there was a suspicion of excess yield, it was enough to block the impact of the meteorite.
But now the mission of Lucians and more than 20 nuclear bombs is still to intercept meteorites, but the targets they need to intercept have changed from one meteorite with a diameter of four kilometers to three meteorites with a diameter of five kilometers, and these three meteorites are still Under the pull of gravity, he started to perform disorderly three-body movements, which made the interception task more difficult.
Under this circumstance, even if Chen Xin's astronomy knowledge was not very professional, he still felt that the chance of the Lucians successfully intercepting all three meteorites was slim.
They might be able to knock off one or two pieces, but knocking out all three would be too difficult for the Lucians who were responsible for guiding the nuclear bomb at this time.
In previous live broadcasts, in order to increase public confidence in this nuclear bomb interception, the host specifically explained that all nuclear bomb trajectories have been calculated and adjusted to ensure that all nuclear bombs can arrive at approximately the same time. The interception site is then terminally guided by the Lucian spacecraft to achieve a one-time precise hit.
But this also resulted in the Lucians having to take aim and then hit all the nuclear bombs in one wave.
If there is only one goal, then there is nothing else to say, just attack it upwards.
If there are two targets, as long as they are not exactly one behind the other, they can all be destroyed.
But now what the Lucians have to face are three targets. They are still doing Brownian motion, and their trajectories are irregular. They only know that they will hit the three targets of Blue Star!
You must know that multiple nuclear warheads on both sides will arrive at the same time. As long as one meteorite among the three meteorites blocks the other two meteorites, then all the nuclear bombs will hit one meteorite, leaving the two behind them unscathed!
In this case, the Lucian people's ability to knock off two meteorites is already the best result. Their character is incredible!
As for the four-kilometer meteorite that hit North America, Chen Xin was too lazy to care. Whether the missile defense system that the Federation was proud of could intercept it was a question that didn't need to be asked at all.
The so-called missile defense system was not originally designed to intercept meteorites, but to intercept ballistic missiles launched by other countries.
Although a ballistic missile is undoubtedly more difficult to hit than a meteorite with a diameter of four kilometers, the former only needs an ordinary missile to hit it, while the latter requires a large-yield strategic nuclear bomb saturation bombing to destroy it. , in terms of interception difficulty, the latter is obviously an order of magnitude more difficult than the former.
Moreover, this system is designed to intercept missiles. Its core ground-based interceptors are just ordinary missiles, not ballistic missiles equipped with nuclear warheads. Whether the federals can intercept them in time is a question mark, let alone near the ground. Use high-yield nuclear bombs in orbit!
That would cause the radioactive dust on the meteorite debris to fill the atmosphere! Especially when one nuclear bomb cannot blow up the meteorite at all, in order to ensure that the meteorite can be destroyed, the Federation will definitely use a saturation strike and use multiple nuclear bombs.
If you're lucky, you might contaminate a part of North America. If you're not lucky, let's start a nuclear war wasteland dungeon all over the world.
Faced with this situation, no matter how much Chen Xin hoped that mankind could withstand this crisis, he could only prepare for the worst.
After packing the TV, wrapping it in the last bedding left for sleeping, and tying it with rope, Chen Xin looked around his home, said his final farewell, and then walked towards his underground shelter without hesitation. .
With the meteorite impact, it is very likely that he will not have the chance to return to this house again. Even if he can come back, I am afraid he will not live here again.
This thought made Chen Xin a little sad, but after sighing for a few minutes, he still picked up the bundled quilt and TV, locked the door, left the room, and walked towards his refuge with his things in his arms. go.
In the days to come, that will be his new home.
While walking to the shelter, Chen Xinxin's mobile phone was still playing the live broadcast of the TV station. The Lucians had already begun to intercept. The screen was now filled with rocket propellers carrying nuclear bombs. At first glance, the tail flames were so dense that even the meteorites as big as mountains in their direction were blocked.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xin couldn't help but stop.
With so many nuclear bombs, maybe, should, maybe, they can blow up meteorites
If the meteorite exploded, he wouldn't have to hide in the shelter, right
With this expectation, Chen Xin prayed for the last time, praying that the so-called gods and destiny would favor mankind and bestow good luck to mankind in this last desperate struggle for fate.
On the screen, more than twenty nuclear bombs carrying the hope of mankind flew towards three meteorites. The fate of mankind around the world was now tied to these more than twenty nuclear bombs.
Weapons that once represented destruction and killing now carry the hope of human survival. This has to be said to be a great irony.
But at this moment, no one cares about this. All everyone hopes is that the nuclear bomb can destroy the meteorites and blow them into a pile of fragments.
Carrying the hope of mankind, the first nuclear bomb touched the meteorite and burst out with a bright and dazzling light, like a flower of hope blooming in the universe.
Chen Xin couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky, where a flash of light lit up, which was the light produced by the explosion of a nuclear bomb.
Immediately, more flashes of light lit up, illuminating Chen Xin's mobile phone screen into a vast expanse of white. At the same time, the most powerful weapon created by mankind also exploded with the most magnificent fireworks above Chen Xin's head.
The light produced by the nuclear bomb explosion connected in the sky, dazzling like a second sun rising.
"Did it explode?" Chen Xin's eyes were fixed on the dazzling white spot in the sky like a second sun. He was unwilling to move away even for a second despite the dazzling light stinging his eyes. Just to know the results as soon as possible. (End of chapter)
