Chapter 678: Orbit correction

Views:

Far away in the asteroid belt deep in the universe, an asteroid with a diameter of two kilometers is heading in one direction at high speed. There is no comparison object, no matter how fast the speed is, it still feels like fallen leaves in the universe, floating aimlessly.

The tail of the 'Corn' asteroid has a blue light, which is a dense mechanical column that is ejecting plasma into the universe.

The relative velocities of the two asteroids were not small at the beginning, but they were running on different orbits and had no intersection. Now that the orbit of the 'Corn' asteroid has changed, coupled with the acceleration of the mechanical column, the relative speed has become even higher.

All this is to have enough kinetic energy to hit the 'igniter' and change the trajectory of the igniter.

"Correction of kinetic energy model..."

"Correction of kinetic energy model..."

According to the originally calculated kinetic energy model, the current speed of the asteroid is sufficient, but the quantum computer carried by the mechanical column is still correcting the kinetic energy model between the two to achieve maximum perfection.

"Three minutes later, the 'corn' hit the 'igniter', and Optimus Prime broke away from the 'corn'."

The mechanical column carrying artificial intelligence issued a command, and all the mechanical columns in the 'Corn' asteroid stopped ejecting plasma. The top mechanical claw embedded in the 'Corn' asteroid slowly released and retracted to control the direction of the mechanical column. The ion engine began to accelerate in reverse and began to break away from the asteroid.

In less than a minute, all the mechanical columns were separated from the 'Corn' asteroid, and only the tracker was still on it.

If the universe can be used as a canvas, you can see at this time that the motion trajectories of the two asteroids 'Corn' and 'Igniter' are continuously extending until they intersect at a certain point.

'Ignition' is in sight.

“One-minute countdown to collision, 60…59…58…”

The countdown begins, and from the perspective of 'Corn', the 'igniter' gets bigger and bigger.

boom…

The collision between the two is like two flying stones colliding in space.

Chen Mozhen stared at the model on the holographic projection. This was a collision model of two asteroids based on the data sent back half an hour ago.

According to calculations, a collision has now occurred, and it is not known what the situation is in the asteroid belt. The success or failure of the first plan of the planetary transformation project will depend on it again. If after the collision, the orbit data of the 'igniter' deviate from the orbit data of Mars. Too much means failure and it will take a long time to correct the trajectory of the 'igniter'.

"Brother Mo, the two asteroids successfully collided and the data was sent back."

Half an hour later, Mo Nu suddenly spoke.

On the holographic panel, the 'igniter' data transmitted back appears, as well as the 'igniter' status.

The two asteroids collided, and the 'Corn' asteroid had split apart. A huge asteroid fragment deviated from its original orbit and bounced away. Countless small gravels exploded and sputtered everywhere.

Unfortunately, three mechanical pillars were hit by sputtering meteorites. Two of the mechanical claws malfunctioned and one was in a semi-malfunctioning state. But Chen Mo didn't care. The mechanical column propulsion system and the mechanical system operate independently. As long as the ion engine is not broken, it can be returned to Earth for repairs.

Also appearing together are data on the orbit of Mars.

The orbit deviated by 23 minutes and 3 seconds, which is within the correctable range.

After seeing the 'igniter' and the orbit data of Mars, this answer came to Chen Mo's mind.

"Correction of 'igniter' track."

At the same time, far away in space, the artificial intelligence of the Mechanical Pillar has already begun the orbit correction plan. After the small meteorite fragments dispersed, all the mechanical pillars flew to the 'igniter' after the impact and began to embed.

The size of the 'Igniter' asteroid is too large, and the thrust provided by the mechanical column is not worth mentioning at all. However, under the action of a long time, the 'Igniter' asteroid can still undergo slight displacements. The accumulation of these small displacements is enough Slowly correct the trajectory.

As long as the orbit deviation is within the correctable range before the time of collision between the asteroid and Mars, the correction can be completed.

Thousands of mechanical pillars are embedded in the asteroid and begin to ignite and accelerate. The mass of the 'igniter' is much larger than that of the 'Corn' asteroid, and the acceleration provided by the mechanical pillars is insignificant.

"The orbit correction will be completed in 859 hours, and the 'igniter' will enter the Mars gravitational field at 1470 hours and 31 minutes."

Using the solar system as the table and the asteroid as the ball, it will take two months to see whether the ball can go into the hole.

The time of collision between 'Ignition' and Mars will be two months later.

Chen Mo looked at today's date.

October.

Suo Mu looked at the visitor in front of him, his face full of confusion.

He didn't know the other party, and he didn't know the origin of the other party. The other party suddenly came to him and said that he had something to discuss, about expanding his power. When this topic came up, he chose to meet the visitor without saying anything.

As the armed leader of a small tribe, he always wants to expand his power. Recently, the armed forces around him are eyeing him, and the situation is not good.

If they didn't have some ability, I'm afraid they would have been annexed.

"General Suomu, are you interested in making your territory bigger?"

Zhong Lei picked up the inferior wine prepared by the other party and took a sip with a natural expression.

Zhong Lei now looks like a bearded uncle after putting on makeup. The beard is half a foot long and tied with a red rope. It is a bit delicate and outsiders cannot recognize his original appearance at all.

It is not easy for them to expose their identity and they cannot blatantly intervene in other people's struggles, otherwise they will definitely be caught by public opinion and cause more trouble.

There is no way to intervene blatantly, but there are many prerequisite methods.

Those tribes are armed and their weapons are so backward that they are not worth mentioning at all. As long as they have the means and dare to intervene, those people are just clowns.

"Of course I do, do you have a way for us to expand?"

Suo Mu stared straight at Zhong Lei, his breath strong, and he didn't forget to touch his dark, shiny bald head. Anyone who knows him knows what his action means. If you try to trick him, the next step will be to eat bullets instead of drinking.

"have."

Zhong Lei glanced at the people around him lightly.

Suo Mu grinned, waved his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Doss stays, the others go out."

After everyone left, he looked at Zhong Lei with narrowed eyes. Next to him, the indifferent Doss had his palm on the gun. If something went wrong, he would take action immediately.

Zhong Lei was unmoved by the two men's wariness.

"Southside."

"South? Brother Nas?"

Suo Mu's expression froze, and he immediately understood who Zhong Lei was talking about.

Although there was little information here, he also knew what the armed forces of the Nas brothers had done recently, and they robbed a foreign mine.

A group of army ants.

Suo Mu was not stupid and immediately guessed something about it, but he was not sure whether it was true or not. The other party did not explain his identity.

Zhong Lei ignored Suo Mu's mental activities and said calmly: "I can rent you two pieces of special equipment for a week. You only need to do one thing."

The camp fell into silence, and Suo Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhong Lei. For two minutes, the camp fell into dead silence. Suo Mu looked uncertain, weighing the pros and cons.

Seemingly determined, Suomu licked his lips.

"What equipment?"
