Chapter 82 – What is he doing?

For twenty-seven days, Du Xingyu was thinking about a plan, how to make the asteroid change its orbit!

This requires a super large force to act on it in a certain direction to make it deviate from the existing track.

With human technology, to generate such a large amount of energy, only a hydrogen bomb can do it! And more than one hydrogen bomb, like the Soviet tsar bomb, with the explosive power of more than 170 million tons of TNT explosives, is just tickling in front of this high-speed flying massive asteroid.

Adding up all the nuclear warheads possessed by humans on Earth, the power seems to be a little weak, and the most difficult thing is that these explosions still need to be carried out in space, and they will explode in a short time at certain stress points on the asteroid…

Even if the asteroid is really blown up, the fragments of the asteroid will form a huge meteorite shower. Each giant meteorite is enough to destroy a human city, so blowing it up is not an ideal solution.

Du Xingyu created a new science and technology research and development section on the science and technology simulator-asteroid impactor.

Below the asteroid striker, there is a blank space for the time being. Because Du Xingyu’s current data is insufficient, he needs to know the mass, accurate speed, and orbit direction of the asteroid, so that he can calculate the kinetic energy that the asteroid striker needs to give, and push back step by step.

“The asteroid impactor must be launched at a distance away from the earth, otherwise it will still be dangerous, and the ideal launch site should be on Mars.” Du Xingyu followed this idea and continued to calculate.

“Then Mars needs a space launch station, and humans also need to send a large amount of mass and nuclear warheads to Mars… In addition to the asteroid striker, a space defense system is also needed to serve as a second line of defense…”

Du Xingyu became more and more aware that this is definitely a big project. Only when all mankind work together can there be such a little hope.

To create an asteroid striker and a supporting space defense system, first humans must provide space transportation capabilities.

It is imperative to build a space port in this way; then space battleships, military bases on Mars, and so on.

No country has the strength to complete each project independently, and it must be built within 20 years, regardless of economic benefits and life-threatening investment.

…

Day by day, tomorrow is the Nobel Prize award ceremony. Du Xingyu is going to go to Stockholm, Sweden, when the King of Sweden will personally present the Nobel Prize winners.

“Academician Wang.” Before leaving, Du Xingyu found Wang Qing and said, “I have troubled you at the observatory these days. My research has finally yielded some results.”

“What result?” Wang Qing asked curiously.

Du Xingyu has been observing Neptune and the Kuiper belt, but no one knows what he has discovered.

What puzzled Wang Qing was that Professor Beth of the Haleakala Observatory, who had been in contact with Du Xingyu, was insane.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“It’s all in this encrypted USB flash drive.” Du Xingyu handed him a USB flash drive and said: “The things in it are very important. I will give it to you. When I arrive in Sweden, I will send you the password. You can open it.”

“What? It’s like acting in a movie.” Wang Qing was even more confused. Du Xingyu was going to attend the awards ceremony instead of going to war, why bother?

“I’m leaving!” Du Xingyu handed the U disk to Wang Qing and turned to leave. Outside, his bodyguard Yue Chen and secretary Shangguan Zihan are all ready, and there will be a special plane to pick him up to Sweden to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony.

After Du Xingyu left, Wang Qing has been wondering what exactly is in the encrypted U disk that Du Xingyu left behind, and he can’t wait to open it for research immediately.

Beijing time was six hours faster than Swedish time. When Du Xingyu arrived at the Royal Hotel in Stockholm, it was already nine o’clock late at night.

The Swedish royal family sent the royal minister of protocol to personally receive him.

“Mr. Du, you are struggling. Your Majesty the King does not want to disturb the distinguished guests at this time, so please stay in the hotel for the time being. His Majesty the King will give you awards and host a dinner tomorrow.” The Minister of Protocol respectfully said.

Du Xingyu’s name has long been spread throughout the world. Everyone knows that this young man brought China into the space age in one fell swoop. He is a figure capable of changing the world, so even the traditional aristocracy in Europe respects him very much.

“Thank you for the kindness of the king, and I am also looking forward to seeing your majesty.” Du Xingyu replied politely.

At the moment, China is three o’clock in the morning, Belvedere Observatory.

If it was normal time, Wang Qing would have fallen asleep. But yesterday, Du Xingyu’s words before leaving made him feel unbearable and could not sleep over and over again.

At this time, Du Xingyu sent him a string of passwords, which was the key to unlock the U disk.

“I finally sent it, this little Du, tortured me for a day!” Wang Qing couldn’t wait to unlock the U disk and check the contents.

“It’s all astronomical observation images and data. Did he find a new celestial body?” Wang Qing wondered. He called two students in the night shift of the observatory to compare and calculate these data together.

Two hours later.

“This… how is this possible?” Wang Qing became more and more frightened. He realized that Du Xingyu might have discovered a terrifying truth!

“Teacher, I have calculated it. The light change data for seven consecutive days near Neptune…” a student said, “It can be concluded that there is a KBO (Kuiper belt) celestial body whose orbit has been changed by Neptune’s gravity and is flying into the solar system! ”

“Teacher, its orbital direction intersects the earth’s orbit! The speed of flight is expected to reach the earth’s orbit in 20 years.” Another student’s voice was a little frightened, “According to calculations, it is bound to be attracted by the earth’s gravity and fly to the earth. !”

Wang Qing himself also calculated some of the data. He looked at the calculation results with shock on his face, and said in an incredulous tone: “The diameter of this celestial body is about 30 kilometers. It is an asteroid! Let the dinosaurs go extinct. The diameter of the asteroid is three times larger!”

“In other words, it will hit the earth!”

“Teacher!” The two students looked at him pale, “What should we do?”

“What to do?” Wang Qing was also asking himself, this discovery was too shocking, even more terrifying than the news of the outbreak of the Third World War!

He could not imagine what would happen once the news was announced!

Is human being able to stop that asteroid? Wang Qing couldn’t think of any way. The human beings now send a few people into space at most. Facing such a world-destroying star, I am afraid that they are powerless!

“Teacher?” The two students have completely panicked, knowing the news that the world will be destroyed in twenty years, even those with strong psychological qualities will be at a loss!

“It turned out to be like this!” Wang Qing muttered to himself. He finally knew what Du Xingyu was observing, why he was so careful, and why Professor Beth would go crazy, because they foresaw the end of mankind!

He took a deep breath and worked hard to calm his mood. Even if it is the end of the world, there are still twenty years away, isn’t it?

“You two!” Wang Qing looked at the two students with a solemn expression, “From now on, don’t tell anyone about this matter! Don’t leave this room for half a step!”

He paused for a while, gritted his teeth and said: “I’m here to report this to the top!”
