Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chapter 14 Pushing the Stars

With the landing of the spacecraft, the three astronauts from the Yan Kingdom also walked out of the spacecraft, and each got busy with their tools.

The time for the meteorite to pass through the lunar orbit is very limited. If they want to use the influence of the moon's gravity to push the meteorite away from the impact orbit, then they must race against time.

Looking at the astronauts in heavy space suits busy on the surface of the meteorite, captured by the spacecraft camera, Chen Xin couldn't help cheering them on silently.

This is not as good as the fact that there was no news after the Federation team rushed down just now. The Yan Guo team was broadcasting the whole process without interruption, so the progress of the project could be seen at a glance.

In addition, there is also a narration from the TV station to explain, the audience does not even need to watch, just listen to know the progress of the on-site project, what step the astronauts have done, and how far it is from completion.

Compared with the Federation team to drill holes in the meteorite, the task of the Yan Guo team is easier. Although the same needs to be drilled, the Yan Guo team only needs to drill the bolt holes for fixing the propellers, not like the Federal team. Drill a hole several hundred meters deep.

So although there were a little more holes to be punched, the work was quickly completed with the hard work of the three astronauts.

Seeing that they finished drilling the holes, Chen Xin was as excited as all the people watching the live broadcast together in front of the TV, and even the excited voice of the host as a narrator came from the TV: "Okay! Now the bolt holes are all full. Finished! Next, the astronauts only need to install the bolts to end the ground work, return to the spacecraft to start the thruster, and use it to push the meteorite!"

Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help standing up, watching the three astronauts on the TV install the bolts awkwardly with their thick gloved hands. He even wanted to reach out to help them screw the bolts.

But separated by a distance of 380,000 kilometers, Chen Xin couldn't reach even if he could reach into the TV, so he could only watch and worry.

Fortunately, the astronauts considered the problem of screwing the bolts before they set off. Not only are they equipped with professional power tools that can screw a bolt in one second, but also three people work together. When three people start working at the same time, all the The bolts are being screwed one by one under the watchful eyes of six billion people around the world.

Seeing that the astronauts have completed all the ground work, the commander-in-chief in charge of the on-site command in the space center simply grabbed the microphone and shouted at the astronauts: "Return to the spacecraft immediately and start the thrusters! Leave the piles of chickens on the ground!"

When he saw that the screen was switched to the white-haired commander in the space center, Chen Xin had a hard time imagining that the old expert could be so excited. bear it.

But the commander-in-chief's excited attitude is understandable. After all, at this time, even Chen Xin couldn't help shouting to tell the astronauts to ignore the tools on the ground, go directly to the spacecraft, start the thrusters, and then leave.

Compared with the time to clean up the tools on the ground, the astronauts can start the thrusters one second earlier when they get on the spacecraft, and the meteorites can be pushed away from the impact track one second earlier by starting the thrusters one second earlier. Save Bluestar.

Under the premise of saving Blue Star, the Federals' multi-billion-dollar space shuttle blew up, not to mention just a bunch of tools.

The commander-in-chief's order was immediately carried out by the astronauts. They just checked whether the bolts on the ground were in place, then quickly returned to the spacecraft, and then started the thrusters under the gaze of six billion people around the world. .

As the tail of the thruster specially customized for this mission burst into a violent tail flame, the spacecraft that the astronauts took also separated from the thruster, and quickly ignited and lifted off, leaving the surface of the meteorite.

When the federal team left the meteorite surface, they could use the impact of the nuclear bomb explosion to blow away the debris flow on the meteorite surface. Because the Yan Guo team did not use the nuclear bomb, naturally they could not enjoy such convenience.

However, the effect of the heavy-duty thrusters they installed on the meteorite in blowing away the debris flow of the meteorite is comparable to the impact of a nuclear bomb explosion. The continuous jet of flame can, however, open a gap in the debris flow on the surface of the meteorite.

Through this gap opened by the propeller's tail flame, the Yan Guo team's spacecraft successfully left the surface of the meteorite, returned to space, and merged with the Federal team's Endeavour, and the two embarked on the return to Blue Star together. 's return journey.

When the spacecrafts of the Yan Kingdom and the Federation were returning home, the meteorite also shifted due to the thrust of the thrusters and the gravity of the moon.

"Under the unremitting efforts and heroic sacrifices of the astronauts from the Yan Kingdom and the Federation, the huge meteorite flying towards the Blue Star is now gradually being pushed away from the impact orbit. According to the predictions of scientists, this meteorite will It was completely pushed away from the impact track within a few hours, and in the next few days, it will pass by the Blue Star, and the threat of human extinction has been lifted!"

Hearing the pretty-faced hostess' cheers on the TV, Chen Xin couldn't help shouting loudly. Although this meant that he had done all the preparatory work in vain, if he could avoid the meteorite hitting the Blue Star, he would be better off in the future. If he can continue to live in the sun, he would rather all his preparations be in vain.

Shouting and howling loudly, Chen Xin's emotions calmed down again when his throat was hoarse and he wanted to drink water.

Just as Chen Xin calmed down, he discovered a key point that the TV station deliberately ignored in the past, that is, the meteorite has been blown into two pieces. One piece, the smaller one was pushed away without saying a word!

Thinking of this, Chen Xin hurriedly ran to the computer, looking for the latest information, and the TV was also on. He kept switching channels, wanting to see if there was any latest news about the meteorite.

However, the TV was full of laughter at this time. It seemed that the crisis had been lifted. Everyone was very optimistic at this time, and the TV station's reports became more relaxed. This made Chen Yu, who wanted to hear if there was any important information, very of disappointment.

Fortunately, some information can still be found on the Internet. Someone asked the same question as Chen Xin. Will the smaller meteorite hit the Blue Star?

Regarding this question, someone on the Internet has given an answer, and it is very reasonable and well-founded, that is, "The Lucians will use a nuclear bomb to blow it to pieces."
