Because of the unique political system in which each state in the federation operates independently, the situation in some states in the federation is still good at this time. People are hoarding supplies in an orderly manner and digging shelters to actively prevent disasters. However, some states have fallen into a situation worse than Britain. , Gaul is in worse chaos, and the local state government has lost the ability to control the situation.
As for the federal government, at this time, their main energy is spent on the defense plan against meteorites. In addition, the government itself has limited control over the states, so it is simply out of sight and out of mind at this time, and let the states deal with these issues individually. thing, while the federal government is focused on completing its defense plan to deal with meteorites.
After all, as long as the plan can be realized and the orbit of the meteorite is changed, Blue Star can be saved from a devastating disaster. The various riots and social problems caused by the meteorite impact will naturally subside. The government will only need to urge the states to carry out post-disaster measures. Just rebuild.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this idea that the federal disaster prevention preparations are not going satisfactorily.
Of course, the Federation also has shelters and nuclear bunkers, but most of them were built during the Cold War.
With the disintegration of Sovia and the end of the Cold War, the Federation, as the world's only superpower and the largest military power, can be said to be very safe in the country. These shelters and bunkers have gradually lost their use and been abandoned.
Although it is said that "America is at peace, guns are fighting every day", after all, it is a country that did not reach its homeland during the two world wars. In fact, when it comes to responding to possible disasters, the people of the Federation have always maintained a way of thinking that is puzzling to the people of other countries. Optimistic, they don't even have any sense of crisis.
This has also led to the fact that in the face of this possible disaster, ordinary people in the Federation can only rely on their own basements, and these must be the wealthy class who can afford to live in single-family villas. As for the poor at the bottom, they can only rely on If you can live in an apartment, where can you find a basement where you can take refuge
Of course, the truly wealthy people build their own bunkers and have all kinds of living facilities and supplies. This is indeed unmatched by other countries.
However, although all countries have various problems and have their own problems, they have not compromised at all on their defense plans to deal with meteorites. They have mobilized all the resources and forces they can mobilize to ensure that the three execution of a plan.
At this time, countries no longer care about hiding their own nuclear bomb silos. Some nuclear bomb silos that have been exposed or simply put on the surface have entered a state of combat readiness, and nuclear warheads have been loaded onto missiles and are ready for launch.
As the core of the execution of the three plans, the spacecraft of China, the United States, and Russia have also worked overtime in the past few months to complete the work. They can only wait for the meteorite to arrive before they can start executing the plan.
The Federation pulled out the two space shuttles Atlantis and Endeavor that had been mothballed. Under the overhaul and maintenance regardless of cost, these two old spacecraft that had been in service for more than 20 years were once again transported. On to the launch pad.
According to the Federation's plan, they not only need to carry nuclear bombs used to propel or detonate asteroids, but also need to carry drills used to drill holes, as well as crews to operate the drills and place nuclear bombs, and after carrying so many things, Landed on the surface of the meteorite.
The only one in the world that can have this kind of carrying capability and can take off after landing is the Federation's space shuttle.
After the Federation provided the Falcon rocket, Yanguo combined it with its own Long March series of rockets to transform a heavy-duty spacecraft with multiple engines to exert thrust on meteorites near the lunar orbit and use the lunar gravity to change the spacecraft. Meteorite orbit.
But so far, everything is just an estimate. No one knows how heavy the meteorite is, and whether the heavy spacecraft modified by Yan Guo can have enough thrust to change its orbit.
So after deliberation, the United Nations action team decided to adjust the plan. First, let the federal people land on the surface of the meteorite to implement their plan, drill holes to plant nuclear bombs, and then explode the meteorite, splitting it into two parts, one large and one small, reducing the risk of The weight of the meteorite body.
At the same time, Yan Guo installed a heavy spacecraft on the surface of the large meteorite after it was exploded, using the gravity of the moon, the thrust of the spacecraft itself, and the thrust of the nuclear bomb detonated by the Federation to change the movement of the large meteorite. trajectory, causing it to deviate from the impact trajectory.
As for the remaining small meteorites, it is the job of the Lucians. They will guide a large number of nuclear warheads launched from the Blue Star to carry out saturation nuclear strikes on the small meteorites until they are blown to pieces.
If all goes well with the entire plan, this large meteorite with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, which is likely to cause human extinction, will eventually be blown into a pile of debris in low-Earth orbit, and then fall into the atmosphere and burn up.
There may be some large fragments that will eventually fall on the Blue Star and cause meteorite impacts, but this kind of debris-level meteorite impact is still within the range that human civilization can withstand.
While China, the United States, and Russia were preparing for the response, the meteorite finally gradually approached the lunar orbit and was heading towards the Blue Star.
The three teams that have been on standby for a long time have been launched one after another. They will refuel the International Space Station and Tiangong Space Station in the low-Earth orbit of Blue Star, and then use the gravity of Blue Star and the moon to accelerate, allowing Yan Guo and The Federation's spacecraft can accelerate to a speed that can land on the surface of a meteorite.
In order to achieve this step, during these three months, Yan Guo stepped up to complete the Tiangong Space Station, while the Federation carried out a major overhaul of the International Space Station, and the two countries each sent a total of six astronauts to take charge of the two space stations. operation to ensure that it can provide fueling services to the spacecraft of the Yan Kingdom and the Federation.
The fuel required for the entire plan has been launched to the two space stations using the SLS system, and is just waiting for the spacecraft from the two countries to arrive at the space stations.
This rescue operation, which was related to the fate of all mankind, also attracted the attention of everyone on Blue Star at this time. Major media and TV stations were also broadcasting the entire process live 24 hours a day.
Whether you are a religious believer or an atheist, you are sincerely praying for the success of this plan.
With the attention of six billion people around the world, the Yan Kingdom's spacecraft and the Federation's space shuttle arrived at the Tiangong Space Station and the International Space Station respectively, and each began refueling.
As for the Lucians, because they are responsible for intercepting meteorites, they will not come up until Yanguo and the Federation start taking action. After all, their task is only to guide the nuclear bomb, and there is relatively no need to launch the spacecraft so early. . (End of chapter)
