Chapter 816
"... Has the result come out?"

The commander-in-chief of the asteroid capture program, that is, Walker, the director of the US Space Agency, said that the group is now worried.

"The exact results are not out yet, Director."

Victor, the deputy director of technology, entered Valcker's office with a stack of analysis materials and a tablet computer and said, "However, we have a general result."

Hearing that there was a result, Walker was shocked immediately, "What's going on? What's the reason? Is it being attacked or our own problem?"

"Preliminary judgment is our own problem."

Victor put the information in front of Chief Valk with a serious expression and said, "The problem should be the precise data of parts and asteroids, and we were careless."

"It's really us?" Walker flipped through the documents with a complicated expression.

"Yes, Director, our Technology Bureau has already analyzed it. The biggest possibility now is that we used parts from the previous generation of "Hercules" smart thrusters, which caused them to be incompatible with the new system, and then there were problems. .”

Victor looked at the tablet and said.

Walker flipped through the documents, and his face became darker and darker, "Didn't all the original inspection reports pass? Why did such a result appear, and why are there so many problems now?"

"Director, the original test results are fine, and the current results are fine, because they all involve a variable, that is the "Hammer" asteroid."

As he said that, Victor swiped a few times on the tablet, turned to their original mission analysis page about asteroids, and found information about the "Hammer" to show to Valck.

"What do you say? The information given by Arclight Aerospace is inaccurate, so we can put the responsibility on them this time?"

The thought instantly made Victor's eyes light up.

"What are you thinking, Mr. Director," Victor said with black lines all over his head, "it's still our problem, and there is no possibility of evasion."

"We were too anxious, and the research on the "Hammer" asteroid was not thorough enough, which caused us to deviate from its estimated weight, which was much heavier than we thought."

"Moreover, there is also a problem with the landing point of this new batch of "Hercules" intelligent propulsion devices. We also have errors in the calculation of the composition of the "Hammer" asteroid, which leads to problems with the output points of the fixed intelligent propulsion devices."

"Moreover, not only to complete the mission as soon as possible, maybe because of our first successful asteroid capture case, we are a little arrogant and too confident in our own technology."

Hearing Victor's criticism and self-criticism, Walker was extremely troubled.

"What about its new orbit, has it been calculated?"

"The calculation is completed, the target will be closer to the earth when passing by the earth, and the probability of hitting the earth is very high, and the speed is faster."

Victor's mood is very complicated, because he is responsible for this matter. Although he is not the highest decision-maker, he is responsible for the actual technical issues.

Now that something like this happened, it had a great impact on himself.

"What about the remaining propellers? Is the thrust enough?" Walker finally asked.

Victor shook his head regretfully, "No, Director, the thrust of the remaining propellers is not enough, and their positions are not good, even if they push... they can only be pushed towards the earth, so that the "Iron Hammer" can rush towards the earth more accurately. Earth, but don't think about slowing down."

Scratching at his hair, which wasn't too much, Walker sighed, "Oh, that's the only way to go. In fact, the most important thing now is not to analyze the cause of the problem, but how to solve it."

As he spoke, he looked at the time, then waved to Victor, "Bring these materials, let's go to the meeting, the time is almost up."

"Good chief."

Victor picked up the materials and followed Walker out of his own office, then walked towards the general meeting room.

The content of the meeting was quite exciting, and it should be said that the faces of those who participated in the meeting were very exciting.

Fortunately, this asteroid moved here from a place more than three times the distance from the earth and the moon. It will take a long time, and the distance is too far. Those enthusiasts on the earth who eat melons can’t see clearly, so they don’t know about the United States. The second asteroid transfer operation has been halted.

But this matter can't be hidden for long.

Because the "cow" in the United States has already blown to the sky in advance.

I wanted to let the cow fly for a while, but the thread broke.

After a while, it will be time for the original plan to announce the phased results, but now it is like this, basically stopping.

And if they don't handle it well, there are more serious consequences waiting for them.

"...Just use nuclear bombs, only nuclear bombs can solve everything! If one doesn't work, then two!"

"To put it simply, there is too much uncertainty if it blows up. This is a metal asteroid, which wears very little in the atmosphere. If it is divided into several large pieces and hits the earth separately, it may be more destructive than before."

"There's nothing wrong with that. After separation, the power of a single body will be much smaller. As long as it doesn't fall on the land of our country of America, it will be fine. We can still take this opportunity..."

"I've said it all, there is a lot of uncertainty. We still don't even have a route to be sure how many pieces it will split into, and we can't be sure where they will hit! The chances of hitting us in the United States are also not small."

"Then what to do, just watch it crashing towards the earth?"

"Then make some more propellers and install them in time?"

"It can't be done, the production time is too long, and the "Iron Hammer" is about to... smash over in three days."

"Is it okay to send astronauts to drill holes to install nuclear bombs? If the calculations are done, the size and area of ​​scattered debris should be determined, right? There are astronauts and engineers on the space station, and the equipment for the first asteroid has also been brought up. Just get the nukes up."

"It takes time to calculate the data and simulate the explosion results, and we are not particularly accurate about the material composition of the "Hammer" asteroid. This requires close-up investigation and research, and even requires landing. We don't have that time."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how can it work? God, we are facing a big crisis of an asteroid hitting the earth, can we have some feasible plans!"

"If it doesn't work, maybe we can ask Arclight Aerospace for help..."

Uh, it has to be said that this is a good plan that serves multiple purposes, but who will say it is a problem.

And time allowed them to write ink, because the latest progress has already been made on the outside network.

"It's a big deal!! The asteroid is about to hit the earth!!!"
