Chapter 645: Response Plan
Nuclear bomb!
Something that seemed very far away has been brought up for discussion in front of everyone again and again recently.
Even Da Piaoliang himself had a double package of tactics and strategy against New York.
How long has it been?
Coming again?
Fortunately, this time it is used to deal with threats in the starry sky, not on the earth.
The fact that humans hold this trump card weapon, which theoretically has no upper limit on power, has calmed down many panic-stricken people.
Although the emergence of nuclear bombs has always been a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of mankind, they have also brought many years of relative peace.
At least this is the case for the home countries of several major countries.
Previously, when facing the invasion of New York, nuclear bombs also demonstrated their destructive power and contained the source.
Now facing the threat from the starry sky again, it inexplicably brings people a sense of security.
We have a trump card!
And he had successfully eliminated the enemy before!
It should be easier to keep the enemy out of the country this time!
After all, most ordinary people are not very clear about the difficulty of using nuclear bombs to bomb meteorites and asteroids in space.
The other party itself is a high-speed moving asteroid, and has now reached a relative speed of 30 kilometers per second.
It would be extremely difficult to "land" on the asteroid if launched from Earth.
After climbing up, you still have to drill a hole, which is even more difficult.
Plus the possible interception by the opponent.
So in fact, for those who know the principle, they understand the difficulty involved!
How many countries have the capability to build lunar and Mars rovers?
But at least the gimmick of a nuclear attack was used to stabilize the spreading panic.
For a moment, most people became full of confidence, thinking that it would be as easy to resolve as the incident in New York, and because it was discovered in advance, there wouldn’t be much loss !
Anyway, it is up to each country to deal with it, and it has nothing to do with ordinary people.
"You know what, these satellites launched by Umbrella are really useful."
"They fulfilled their previous promise and indeed detected the threat well in advance."
"SX used this as an excuse at the beginning, but it's clear that they are mainly targeting the interior of the earth."
“In fact, SX is also quite powerful. It uses recycled rockets and has launched many satellites so far.”
"This time, we can only rely on rockets to target the asteroid, and the limitations of the mass projector itself are also reflected."
"Can we just use the mass projector to launch nuclear bombs? It would be easy to launch a large number of nuclear bombs, right?"
"This is murder. That kind of acceleration could directly cause the fissionable material to reach a critical point and then detonate. Hydrogen bombs are also detonated by fissionable materials."
"Keep playing the music, keep dancing! I want to see the Starry Cup!"
"Haha, for ordinary people like us, we really only need to pay attention to the 'Starry Sky Cup'"
“…”
…
Compared to the peaceful situation on the Internet, countries have quickly finalized their launch plans (the wrangling process is briefly skipped and cannot be written in detail).
First of all, there are unmanned probes. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, a saturation launch method must be adopted. The three major aerospace powers, SX Corporation and Umbrella will launch a total of five unmanned probes.
At the same time, they also began to improve the research on asteroid drilling landers.
After all, it was just a blueprint from the Star Wars era. It was only feasible in theory, and there would definitely be various problems when it was actually used.
At this point, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, so he directly added Umbrella into the group. After all, in terms of materials, Umbrella was absolutely unique and had no rivals.
"Red Queen and Don Quixote can calculate the parameters accordingly. There shouldn't be much of a problem. Since we don't know the specific material of the asteroid, we can only pile the drill bit as high as possible. Our company can use the highest strength alloy that can be manufactured to complete the drill bit work."
Umbrella was quite generous in offering to manufacture high-strength drills.
"If we launch a few more landers carrying nuclear bombs, plus Umbrella's drill, we will always succeed, but the question now is, what about their own external attacks? Will they intercept them?"
"There's nothing we can do. For now, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."
"The means of attack in space are still a little low for us at the moment, but as the target gets closer, we will have more and more ways to take."
"We are currently developing the 'Starship' here at SX. If we get full support from all sides, there may be a chance to remedy the situation."
Masra also proposed a new plan, using artificial intelligence to complete the bundling of rocket engines and ensure power through fine-tuning!
Greatly improve the rocket's carrying capacity!
At present, the bundling of three or four engines is not a big problem, but if you want to complete the bundling of dozens of engines, the difficulty will increase rapidly. Any mistake in any place may turn into fireworks.
But it is undeniable that this is indeed the biggest shortcut to quickly increase thrust.
Compared with developing rocket engines with greater thrust, it saves a lot of costs.
This is equivalent to sacrificing reliability in exchange for cost-effectiveness, which is still the inherent business thinking.
But at this moment, this is the relatively simplest way to achieve it.
High-power rocket engines cannot be built overnight, but bundling them together is much more feasible.
With the powerful capabilities of artificial intelligence, there is still a chance to complete the fine-tuning and control of many rocket engines.
A certain song now also has "Don Quixote" to cooperate with, so there is only one key point for SX company at present.
Transfer money!
Because the engine bundling is unreliable, you definitely can't bet on just one unit. It would be best to make a few more to test the odds.
However, for the time being, this point has not been discussed, and they have started to complete the design and production of their respective aircraft and landers.
But it is obvious that SX company did not play according to common sense.
Originally, the reliability of this matter was low for the time being and the outside world was unaware of it.
It is also generally believed that since preparations have been made to use nuclear bombs, it doesn't matter.
It was easily solved before!
However, after SX did not receive a clear response, their founder directly started to speak out on social media.
"In order to deal with this crisis, our company has developed a new rocket model. Once successful, it will be able to complete the construction of heavy-thrust rockets at the lowest cost and deal with various problems from the space..."
Subsequently, the official website of SX company also released the concept map of the starship.
It is actually very easy to understand through pictures, and ordinary people can easily understand it!
Bundling them together will definitely increase the thrust.
Moreover, once successful, it can prove that this path is feasible and if the number continues to increase, it will have great potential.
Although SX's reusable rocket Falcon was instantly defeated by Umbrella's mass projector when it was first launched.
The constant friction from stepping on the ground.
But it is undeniable that before Umbrella launched its own rocket , SX Corporation did have considerable dominance!
The mass emitter has limitations, and only Umbrella's own materials can withstand it, but SX can still continue to use it commercially.
And this time it is obvious that the mass launcher cannot do anything to the asteroid, and the advantage is once again on the side of SX Company!
"Sure enough, the rocket is the king."
"Yes, there are still places where those tricks are not effective."
"Are you implying Umbrella?"
"Uh, no, no, don't get me wrong..."
"Since the starship still has reliability issues for the time being, then allocate money!"
“Yes, the whole world should pay to support this project, because it is for all mankind!”
"In order to prevent the New York incident from happening again, everyone must support it!"
"For civilization!"
“…”
This sudden public disclosure by the founder of SX Company can be said to have made all parties a little dissatisfied.
Even the great authorities themselves are like this.
This is what it means to force abdication!
However, the other party has already done it, so the natural thing to do now is to find a way to turn the bad thing into a good thing.
After all, this is our own company. Umbrella has overshadowed it recently. It’s time to promote it and boost the sluggish economy at the same time.
Under continuous shocks, even if the printing presses are smoking, there are still ups and downs. It's time for some exciting news!
However, Umbrella did not take the actions of Da Piaoliang and SX Company seriously at all.
Anyway, after the announcement, they seemed to start focusing on the "Starry Sky Cup" again and didn't pay any attention to it at all.
It's still early, and rocket launches don't happen overnight.
Just announce it if you want, it’s none of our business.
Umbrella is just a company...
