"How is the situation? Did you find anything?"

April 6th, Saturday.

In the observation control room of the Hubble Telescope of the Beijing Aerospace Exploration Agency, Hayden paced back and forth with an anxious face, asking the operator in front of him from time to time.

Ever since Xu Lei held a global press conference to announce the news about Pluto on April Fool's Day, all forces have fallen into unease and issued orders to pay close attention to the time and approximate location of Pluto's next appearance as mentioned by Xu Lei.

To determine whether this so-called asteroid with a diameter of 20 kilometers really exists.

And calculate its flight trajectory to determine the probability of hitting the Earth.

Unlike ordinary people, the country has more issues to consider and needs to consider the overall situation.

Therefore, if you want to carry out subsequent self-rescue operations, you must first determine the truth of the matter without leaving any doubt.

For this reason, Hayden took over the mission.

Led many astronomers to use space telescopes to observe Pluto.

Anyway, Xu Lei made it clear at the press conference a few days ago that Pluto will appear again within a special time. If they don't find it this time, it will prove that the story of Pluto is a lie.

Let the panic caused by Pluto disappear.

But if traces of Pluto are really discovered, then things will be very serious.

"Sir, the target area is being observed, and no special celestial objects have been found yet." Faced with Hayden's inquiry, the operator who paid close attention to the data returned by the telescope immediately answered.

Although Hayden felt more and more impatient after hearing the news, he didn't know what the final result would be, but for now he could only wait patiently.

After all, the traces of Pluto are related to the survival of the entire human civilization, and we must not be careless in this matter.

that's all.

Hayden sat in the control room for an unknown amount of time. When he felt drowsy, a voice of surprise finally came to his ears: "Sir, we did find a bomb in the area Yan Fang said.

Asteroid, located near Neptune."

It is no exaggeration to say that when Hayden heard the news, he stood up instantly.

"Pluto is actually real." He murmured to himself with a pale face, and then quickly recovered and ordered: "Quickly pull out the relevant data, and recruit all astronomy experts in the country to conduct a flight to Pluto.

Orbital demonstration.”

Neptune is close to the Kuiper Belt, where there are various celestial bodies. It is not a big deal to find an asteroid in this area.

Moreover, this is not the first case.

The key is to determine the asteroid's flight path.

After all, from the orbit of Neptune to the Earth, there are special planets such as Mars and Jupiter in between. There is a high probability that passing asteroids will be captured and become satellites.

This naturally poses no threat to human civilization.

If this asteroid can avoid being captured by other planets, and even use various gravitational forces to increase its own flight speed, it will be a real disaster for the Earth.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the greatest catastrophe in the history of human civilization.

Although Future Technology and Yanfang Space Agency have demonstrated the flight trajectory of Pluto and scientifically proved that it will collide with the Earth in seven or eight years, this does not guarantee that the data will not be wrong. Only you can draw your own conclusions.

The results are the most convincing.

That's why Hayden issued such an order.

To be honest, the number of astronomers they have is higher than that of Yan Fang. With the addition of various astronomical space telescopes including Harper, I believe the results of the argument will be more authoritative.

"It's sir."

At this time, the personnel in the control room naturally had no objection to Hayden's order.

After immediately nodding in agreement, the specific implementation began, bringing together astronomers who had come from all over the country in the past few days to demonstrate the observation data.

The discovery of an asteroid with a diameter of 20 kilometers and the possibility of colliding with the Earth and the planet. Astronomers have no ability to resist such an extremely explosive event. Even without the official leadership, they will spontaneously

Argument data to determine the truth.

The consequences of letting an asteroid hit the Earth affect every human being, which is equivalent to everyone being a grasshopper on the same rope.

Everyone must contribute.

Saving the planet means saving yourself.

The time left for mankind is now very limited. If the results of Pluto's flight orbit are demonstrated as soon as possible, mankind can start to save itself as soon as possible.

——

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Finally, under the joint calculation of all overseas astronomers, it was determined based on the observation data of Pluto from several astronomical space telescopes that Pluto was indeed flying towards the Earth's star.

Future technology is not alarmist.

It can be said that when everyone learned this news, most people were quite desperate and did not believe that future technology could stop this catastrophe.

Of course, this does not mean that you are destroying your ambition.

The diameter of the main Pluto reaches an unimaginable twenty kilometers, which is twice the size of the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaur species 65 million years ago. It is not one of those that will be almost burned up by the atmosphere of the Earth.

meteorite.

Even if nuclear bombs are used to destroy Pluto, I'm afraid it won't change the outcome.

As the head of NASA, Hayden seemed very distracted after receiving the demonstration results submitted by all astronomers.

Who would have thought that just a few days ago, he was leisurely thinking about retirement, but now the human race is about to become extinct.

This gap is simply too huge.

One can imagine that the next few years will definitely not be much easier for him.

"Is this an asteroid flying at high speed and hitting the Earth? It's really unbelievable!" At this moment, Hayden was holding this paper document. Although it only had a few pages, it felt extremely heavy, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

, then said with firm eyes: "I will report this matter to the commander-in-chief immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left under the gaze of all the astronomers.

There is no doubt that everyone's eyes at this time are extremely complicated, mixed with a frightening dead silence.

Especially the more experts there are in this field, the less hope they have for the future of mankind.

Because they know better than anyone else the horror of Pluto and the catastrophe it will bring to the entire planet and human civilization.

It is worth mentioning that after Hayden received the results of this argument, he did not choose to transmit it to Lao Te, but went to Washington to report it in person.

Don't dare to waste a single second during the process.

This is not a simple order report, nor does it mean that everything will be fine after reading it. Next, we need to formulate a plan to deal with this disaster as soon as possible. Only in this way can we maintain social stability.

If even the higher-ups lose confidence and choose to mess up, the world will inevitably become chaotic.

Maybe before Pluto reaches Earth, human civilization will collapse internally.

Hayden has chosen to cancel many of NASA's space programs and is in a state of lying down. However, on this issue that is related to the continuation of the entire human civilization, he can still prioritize things. It can be said that he arrived at the peak overnight.

Walton Island.

After all, even if he doesn't think about himself, he doesn't want to see the younger generations of his family end their young lives because of this.

Hayden was waiting in the palace early in the morning. After Tripp started working, he went to his office to report the situation as soon as possible.

"This is the result of the argument made by many astronomers based on observational data. As calculated by future science and technology, Pluto not only does exist, but will also collide with the Earth at an extremely fast speed." Hayden reached out and took out the piece of paper.

While handing over the quality documents, the core information in them was briefly described.

Hearing the sound, Lao Te took the document and placed it next to the table, but he had no intention of reading it and just frowned.

He didn't know much about astronomy. Since Hayden had already told the results demonstrated by astronomers, there was no need for him to check it himself.

The key now is to consider how to respond.

"Things are still developing in the direction I was worried about!" Longjiu Laote couldn't help but sigh.

Having dealt with Future Technology for so many years, he is very clear about their strength. Since Xu Lei dares to tell the world about Pluto, it means that he is relatively confident.

So on the day Xu Lei held a press conference, he began to worry about this matter.

Facts prove.

His judgment was not wrong.

Now I have come to the same conclusion, which means that Pluto is a sure thing.

Thinking of the gloomy future of mankind, even if he is usually a happy old man, he will inevitably lose his spirits at this moment.

After a slight hesitation, he did not give the order directly. Instead, he raised his eyes and focused on Hayden again: "You are an expert in this field. Do you think we can deal with this crisis?"

Facing the general's inquiry, Hayden paused for a few seconds before answering: "This asteroid has a diameter of 20 kilometers and is flying towards the Earth at a speed of 50,000 kilometers. I really can't imagine that it is currently

Is there any way to perfectly resolve this crisis?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something again, and added again: "But Commander-in-Chief, should we consider how to deal with the disaster caused by Pluto now?"

As Hayden said, because of Xu Lei's press conference, everyone now knows about the existence of Pluto and is waiting for the final result.

It is impossible to conceal it under such circumstances. In order to stabilize the situation, a plan must be formulated and implemented as soon as possible.

Otherwise it will only make things worse.
