Chapter 392 Action Failure
The huge launch vehicle carried the spacecraft through the atmosphere and flew towards space. Then the spacecraft separated from the rocket. The spacecraft engine was activated and flew towards the whistling asteroid...
According to the flight speed of this asteroid, there will be about two or three days to collide with the earth. The asteroid and the spacecraft will fly relatively, and the distance between the two will gradually approach.
On the ground.
The monitoring equipment of the US Space Center is closely following these. The spacecraft has begun to communicate with the ground command center. Everything is normal, and the entire command center is cheering.
This action from the United States was broadcast live all over the world, and everyone stopped. Factory shutdowns, schools were on holidays, supermarkets closed down, and everyone paid close attention to all this through TV, the Internet, etc., and the whole world's attention was all focused on the United States.
Everyone looked at the huge launch vehicle, the rocket and the spacecraft successfully separated, and the spacecraft flew towards the spacecraft in the distance, almost everyone cheered. At the same time, they were extremely nervous. Everyone knew that success or failure was the same.
Billions of hearts are tense and billions of eyes are watching all this. The space shuttle is flying towards the distant space in the distance. The people on the plane do not dare to be careless at all and operate everything seriously.
After a long flight, according to the plan, the spacecraft began to approach the asteroid and smoothly circled to the back of the asteroid and chased towards the asteroid that was flying at high speed. The distance between the two became smaller and smaller.
The spacecraft consists of three parts: command cabin, service cabin and landing cabin. The command cabin is the control center of the entire spacecraft. It is also the cockpit for astronauts to live and work during flight. The service cabin adopts a light metal honeycomb structure and is divided into 6 compartments around it, which accommodates the main engine, propellant storage box and supercharge, attitude control, electrical and other systems. The front end is connected to the command cabin, and the rear end has a propulsion system main engine nozzle; the landing cabin consists of descent and upper upgrades.
At this time, in the command cabin, through the thick front window glass, you can see asteroids with very irregular shapes and potholes on the surface.
What you can see on the spacecraft is clearly transmitted back to the ground command center through relevant instruments and equipment. Seeing all this, the people in the ground command center were slightly nervous. Although they were expected, they did not expect that this huge asteroid would be so irregular.
The command center's command soon reached the spacecraft. "Continue to approach the asteroid. At the same time, it began to look for the landing site."
Hearing the command, several astronauts on the spacecraft did not dare to be careless at all, as if the fate of the whole world was completely tied to themselves, and they were driving the spacecraft. While approaching the asteroid, they began to find a suitable place to land.
...
The Kingdom of Daxia, the capital.
In a conference room, there were more than 20 members of the cabinet standing committee and members. Everyone was sitting there with serious expressions and a very solemn atmosphere. On a huge high-definition display, the screen of the launch of the United States rocket was being played.
Seeing that everything went well, the spacecraft began to fly towards the distant space. The solemnity in the hearts of these cabinet bosses was slightly less, and a member of the cabinet standing committee even said: "Comrades, if the United States can succeed this time, that's not bad."
Another member of the Standing Committee added: "In order to prevent accidents, we must also make the worst plans. All our intercontinental missiles have entered the launch state and can start to lock in the target. With just one order, we will launch nuclear bombs."
This order was quickly transmitted to several secret troops. In several very secret places, huge missile launch silos opened and the missile began to enter the launch state. At a satellite launch center, a rocket had begun to enter the launch frame. The rocket was not carrying a satellite, but a powerful nuclear bomb.
After the order was issued, everyone in the conference room still looked at the high-definition screen in front and closely followed the US action.
...
All over the world.
Many people started to gather. At this last moment, there were no riots around the world. The vast majority of people were surprisingly unanimous and gathered together in large numbers to watch the live broadcast of the United States. This was the live broadcast of the whole world. At the same time, everyone was praying for the entire human race.
Especially in some big cities, the squares are crowded with people, and a large number of people gathered together. So many people are actually quiet. Everyone's eyes are all on the huge screens on these big squares.
Seeing that the spacecraft began to approach the asteroid, many people's hearts were raised to their throats, and if they were a little nervous, they would have the possibility of jumping out.
Some religious holy places are even more crowded, and the vast majority of devout believers have been kneeling down and praying for the blessing of the gods.
...
In space, the spacecraft gradually approached the asteroid. The camera equipment on the spacecraft recorded all this and clearly transmitted it back to the ground. At the same time, many huge astronomical telescopes on the ground were also paying attention to all this.
At present, human technology is relatively developed, and these astronomical telescopes can see all this clearly. Everything seen through these telescopes has also been transformed into radio waves, broadcasting all this to the whole world.
The spacecraft is getting closer and closer to the asteroid, and the situation on the asteroid is becoming clearer and clearer. The surface of this asteroid is not only bumpy, it is like cracks and canyons, and there are also many huge spikes hanging upside down, and there is almost no place to stand.
This, how do you land?
The surface of the asteroid was clearly transmitted back to the ground command center. Suddenly, the entire command center was in a serious atmosphere. This situation was very bad. Once the landing failed, it would mean that all previous efforts were wasted.
Once it fails, not only will the United States lose its face, but the United States has already been proud of its status as the boss and has made a full sense of praise. In addition, the United States loses its face and seems to be a trivial matter. Once this planet hits the earth, the entire human race will be destroyed.
The US President and a number of American political leaders are also paying close attention. Seeing this situation, the US President looked solemn.
The ground command center still issued an order. In this case, we can only continue to find the landing point. The spacecraft kept chasing behind the planet and carefully searched for the best landing point. Time passed in just one minute, one minute.
"Captain, the fuel is not enough, we must land immediately, otherwise we will not have enough fuel to return to Earth at all."
Upon hearing this, the captain of the spacecraft looked solemn and immediately reported the situation to the ground command center. After consultation and command, the command center ordered a forced landing.
There is a relatively good location beneath the back of the asteroid, where there is a huge canyon several kilometers wide, but the terrain of this canyon is not flat, with only a small distance relatively flat. The spacecraft began to land, and everyone entered the landing cabin.
The spacecraft was not far from the asteroid and had reached a distance that could be landed. The captain of the spacecraft took a deep breath, drew a cross on his chest, and then began to issue a login order.
The landing of the spacecraft is very dangerous and there is no mistake at all. These people are all focused and dare not drive a little by little. They operate everything in an orderly manner.
Login starts.
"boom!"
After a period of flight, with a muffled sound, the landing cabin finally successfully landed in the valley. Unfortunately, this was not an ideal landing location, and there was no stable landing, which can be seen from the muffled sound.
"Check the login cabin situation quickly, hurry, hurry!"
The captain immediately shouted loudly, and soon, a crew member screamed in horror, "Captain, the fuel has been severely leaked, and there is a risk of an explosion immediately."
Upon hearing this, the captain was shocked and immediately shouted loudly: "Hurry, hurry, put out the fire." After that, the captain pressed the button of the fire extinguishing device with force.
God did not seem to be attached to helping the Americans. The fire was getting bigger and bigger and it was simply uncontrollable. Faced with such a situation, the captain knew that it was irreversible and looked desperate.
The ground command center suddenly became panic, and some women even screamed, and some people even covered their mouths in disbelief. Soon, snowflakes were flakes on the display screen and communication was interrupted.
"Fast, quickly convert signals, fast!"
Soon, it was converted into a satellite signal. In the high space, American satellites were closely monitoring the asteroid. Such signals were naturally blurred, but you could still see the huge asteroid flying at high speed.
Many people were crying speechlessly, thinking to themselves, are human beings really going to be extinct and can't escape this disaster?
The entire command center was bleak. Suddenly, everyone saw a flash of fire on the screen, and there seemed to be a violent explosion. Seeing this scene, everyone reacted that the nuclear bombs carried on the spacecraft exploded.
"Oh!"
When everyone saw the nuclear bomb explode, they cheered. On the asteroid, as the flames flashed, everyone vaguely saw a mushroom cloud rising. This was undoubtedly a nuclear bomb explosion.
Many people cheered, and many people even hugged each other happily.
Billions of people around the world are paying close attention. Looking at the live broadcast of the United States, seeing the spacecraft accident and the fire caught on the spacecraft, everyone is extremely nervous, and some people even begin to despair.
But when everyone saw the nuclear bomb exploded, they seemed to see the dawn of hope, cheered and jumped. Everyone thought the disaster was lifted and everyone was safe.
The US president was also watching the live broadcast. Seeing this scene and seeing the nuclear bomb exploded, he suddenly waved his fists with excitement, his excited and excited expression was beyond words.
The spacecraft had an accident and caught fire just now, and the nuclear bomb exploded not long after. As we all know, several astronauts on the spacecraft must have decisively detonated the nuclear bomb.
However, everyone was too happy.
After the explosion, the planet seemed to have not been broken into pieces as imagined, and it still continued to fly, and it seemed that it was not affected.
Seeing the huge asteroid still flying towards the earth at high speed, the whole world suddenly became silent.
