While Chen Xin is actively trying to save himself, the governments of various countries will certainly not be idle.
The first to act is of course the Blue Star Top Five.
Although we often ridicule that the Blue Star top five can only be counted as two and a half, and the remaining two have to be delisted, in fact these five countries are still one of the five most powerful countries in the world. Other countries and Compared with these five countries, after all, the comprehensive national strength and the response to such disasters are a little worse.
Of course, in the face of this kind of crisis for all mankind, all countries in the world have abandoned their prejudices at this time and decided to work together.
Among the actions carried out by various countries, the first choice is of course to destroy the meteorite or change its orbit.
After all, compared to Doomsday, this is obviously simpler and less troublesome, and at the same time, it can minimize the impact of meteorites on Blue Star.
But a meteorite with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, for today’s Blue Star civilization, it is really more difficult than reaching the sky to destroy it.
There are really not many practical solutions that countries can come up with.
At the UN special meeting convened by the Blue Star Five, various proposals were proposed and rejected. In the end, only three proposals were approved by the majority.
One of the plans was proposed by Yan Guo. When the meteorite approaches the lunar orbit, a high-power propeller is installed on the surface of the meteorite to change the orbit of the meteorite by the combined action of the moon’s gravity, so as to prevent the meteorite from hitting the blue star.
This scheme is the most feasible and effective among the three schemes at present, but the one with the greatest technical difficulty.
Using the current aerospace technology possessed by humans, it has only realized manned spaceflight in the Earth-Moon system. Humans have only launched probes in the outer space of the lunar orbit, and want to help them when the meteorite approaches the lunar orbit. Adding thrusters, this project itself is a great test of human spaceflight technology.
Not to mention the need to install thrusters on the meteorite to be able to propel this behemoth with a diameter of more than ten kilometers.
Even with the help of the moon’s gravity, this still requires the transportation of a propeller that is much more powerful than the largest spacecraft currently built by mankind, and the fuel needed to propel the meteorite.
Although in three months, humans can urgently refit a spacecraft that can do this, the success rate of this plan is still not high.
The No. 2 plan was proposed by the federal people. With reference to the sci-fi films “Peerless Tribulation” and “Collision of Heaven and Earth” that were filmed in Hollywood that year, they were able to formulate this plan thanks to the genius brains of the Hollywood screenwriters. .
That is to land on a meteorite, then make a hole in the meteorite, bury a nuclear bomb, and then detonate it.
If all goes well, then the power generated by the nuclear bomb explosion is enough to change the orbit of the meteorite, and at worst, it can crush the meteorite, reduce its size, and reduce the damage caused by the impact.
The technical difficulty of this plan is lower than that proposed by Yan Guo. Although both plans need to land on meteorites, it is obviously much less difficult to install a nuclear bomb than installing a propeller, and it can be promoted. Meteorite nuclear bombs are far easier to build than thrusters capable of propelling meteorites.
The nuclear bombs of this level are readily available in the Blue Star’s top five nuclear arsenals, and Lucia even said on the spot that if this plan was adopted, they could provide Tsar bombs.
But a big problem with this plan is that although nuclear bomb explosions can propel a meteorite, it is more likely to directly crush the meteorite, causing multiple meteorites to hit the blue star.
In this case, the damage to the Blue Star civilization will not be lower than that of the meteorite hitting the Blue Star as a whole, so countries are more inclined to the plan proposed by Yan Guo during the discussion.
However, considering the difficulty of implementing Yan Guo’s plan, this plan was reserved as a necessary B.
As for the third plan, it was proposed by the Lucians.
Russia’s plan is very simple and straightforward. It is rude and has the characteristics of a fighting nation. It is to directly use all the existing nuclear weapons of the top five Blue Stars to carry out a saturated nuclear attack on the meteorite and blow it into pieces. .
Although the debris will still impact the blue star’s surface after entering the Blue Star’s atmosphere, the damage that has been blown up by the meteorite can at least be sustained by human civilization, and most of the debris will enter the atmosphere. When it burns out, not too much debris will fall on the blue star.
There is only one problem with this plan, that is, the existing nuclear bomb launch technology of mankind is not enough to allow the nuclear bomb to fly too far in space, so it must wait until the meteorite is close enough to the blue star to be able to launch the nuclear bomb. .
And in order to ensure the hit rate of the nuclear bomb, a spaceship needs to be sent to guide the nuclear bomb.
But this spacecraft will not survive the overwhelming meteorite debris after the nuclear bomb shatters the meteorite.
This is like laser guidance on the battlefield. If it is a cruise missile, the soldiers on the ground can still maintain a safe distance from the target, but if it is a cloud bomb or a nuclear bomb, Not to mention this soldier, it is very difficult for all soldiers on the entire battlefield to survive.
However, considering that this is a matter of human life and death ~IndoMTL.com~ countries do not feel that it is a difficult choice to make lofty sacrifices for the survival of the entire human civilization.
In fact, although the implementation difficulty and success probability of the three schemes are different, the astronauts who carry out the mission are all risking their lives, and they are likely to die because of it.
After intense quarrels and discussions, countries finally decided to implement a saturated response plan, and the three plans were carried out simultaneously.
The Yan Kingdom and the Federation will first land on the surface of the meteorite, install thrusters and nuclear bombs respectively, and then try to use the nuclear bombs and thrusters to change the orbit of the meteorite or blow it up.
And Lucia’s plan is a last-ditch preparation. If the first two plans fail, then this will be humanity’s last effort to deal with meteorites.
In addition, countries will also take active self-rescue measures, build underground bunkers, reserve supplies, and at the same time save as many people as possible, so that more people can survive.
In the face of the common disaster of all mankind, the countries of the world have broken out unprecedented unity this time.
The Federation took the initiative to provide the Yan Kingdom with the Falcon rocket. At this time, every effort can increase the chance of human survival by one point. Technological blockade is not something that should be done at this time.
And the Lucias also opened their nuclear arsenal. Several czar bombs secretly preserved from the Sorbian era were all contributed, two of which will be used in the federal plan to carry meteorites for blasting operations. .
At the same time, the Blue Star Five also gathered all the space resources in the world and put them into the implementation of the three plans.
However, in addition to active self-rescue plans, countries are also preparing backup plans for meteorites hitting the Blue Star if the plan fails.
