In the main control room, everyone was slightly excited.
At this moment, all of them are witnessing history and human civilization taking another small step! Once the asteroid is successfully captured and exploited! There is no doubt that it is a victory for mankind in a space resource war.
On the screen, the huge asteroid quickly completed its final stage.
The entire asteroid capture is not that easy. First, we need to find a suitable asteroid, then observe and calculate its orbital data parameters, and then send an asteroid capture spacecraft to capture it. The capture also requires very complex calculations to calculate a relatively accurate value area. This value area is an asteroid orbit position value area. The asteroid capture spacecraft needs to fly to this value area, and then calculate and confirm the asteroid's position again.
The range covered by this value zone is very large, and the asteroid capture spacecraft needs to confirm the asteroid as quickly as possible in this value zone. This is not an easy task.
For example, a circular water area with a diameter of 50 meters is circled in the Pacific Ocean, and then I tell you that there is a ballpoint pen refill that moves regularly in this water area. Try to find it.
The secondary calculation after arriving at the value area is also a considerable workload, and it still needs to be found through observation and positioning. Only after the asteroid's position is found and positioned can the subsequent capture work be carried out.
Is it difficult to push an asteroid? It is difficult to perform additional acceleration on the basis of changing the gravity of its orbit. It is necessary to use strong anti-gravity technology to exert huge thrust to push the asteroid out of its orbit.
Later, Space-time Traversal Space Folding technology was used to transfer the asteroid. This was also an extremely vast project, but it was not the end.
The real last step is to land the asteroid completely and smoothly from the space environment to the ground. This is the most important link. At this link, the asteroid will be most intuitively attracted by Mars gravity, which is Mars gravity. Although this force is much smaller than that of the earth, there is no doubt that it is still very large. The difficulty of this step is also very complicated.
"Start preparing for landing!" Chen Mengchuan groaned, and everyone in the main control room couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The staff began to calculate the parameters of Space-time Traversal, which was about to be opened. This time Space-time Traversal, the asteroid will land in the plain area in the middle of the equator of Mars, and a crater will be selected in a plain area.
Taking into account the gravity brought by Mars gravity, a group of people are calculating and simulating the various impacts that this asteroid will have when it falls on Mars. Once the asteroid passes through the source circle and reaches the surface closer to Mars, it will instantly receive a large amount of gravity from Mars. The fall effect caused by this momentary force requires a buffer period.
Although it is said that such an asteroid will not cause any major damage to Mars when it hits Mars smoothly, the dust ring effect under the impact is an issue that everyone must consider. They need a fall effect as gentle as possible, or even to perfectly support Mars, so that the asteroid will not cause a dust ring effect when it lands.
"All gravity bee parameters are ready!"
"The space source point parameters of the asteroid capture ship have been calculated! The source point circle can be opened!"
"Multi-Arm Crab gravity parameters are set!"
The confirmation voices of the controllers sounded one after another, and all preparations were in place.
"Open the source circle!" Chen Mengchuan calmly gave the order.
On the huge screen, a huge blue Spatial Source Point Circle was slowly activated, and an invisible "Gate to Different Dimensions" was opened in the void of the blue coil. The asteroid slowly flew towards this "Gate to Different Dimensions" under the pull of many powerful propulsion devices.
There are not many propulsion devices here that exert strong gravitational force on the asteroid. After calculation, most of the propulsion devices are mobilized on the side that falls towards Mars.
If you blur out the asteroid and look at it, you will find that the layout of these high-intensity anti-gravity propulsion equipment is like a huge celestial bowl.
The picture on the big screen was split into two, and the two source circle pictures were captured on the screen. However, they were cut into two completely different backgrounds. One side was the dark universe and the huge red planet, and the other side was like a barren and barren desert.
"It's begun!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen.
The huge size of the captured asteroid slowly began to pass through the source circle, driven by the strong gravity equipment.
As the asteroid enters, the speed begins to increase little by little.
"The gravity bee data is abnormal. The gravity of Mars has begun to take effect! Activate all the gravity bees and Multi-Arm Crab one after another to hold the asteroid!" the deputy commander said immediately!
The data on the screens is refreshed quickly and continuously!
Half of the entire asteroid's volume passed through Spatial Source Point Circle!
"Notice! The gravity data has been calibrated! The parameters for the gradual increase in gravity have been calculated!"
Everyone was overjoyed at the announcement.
Success!
Everyone knows that the most difficult hurdle has been passed.
Chen Mengchuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and then a burst of joy surged into his heart. After successfully capturing the asteroid, it would mean almost endless resources! Whether he wants to explore a deeper space or build a more complete Solar System defense system, he has real conditions!
Feeling the gazes of Toni and Xu Shuwei beside him, Chen Mengchuan turned his head to look at the two of them and smiled.
"Successful!" Several people exclaimed.
In the screen, the huge asteroid has passed through the source point circle. It is really like a giant bowl, tightly supported by countless gravity bees and densely packed Multi-Arm Crab!
"The gravity parameters are normal and the current gravity structure is stable! Crater landing is possible."
Chen Mengchuan and others were talking while watching the asteroid land steadily towards the crater.
After a tremor, the asteroid was firmly stopped. The main control center suddenly burst into cheers!
"When are you going to cut?" Xu Shuwei looked at Chen Mengchuan with a smile.
"Don't worry. After confirming the composition of this asteroid, we will consider cutting it and see if it is suitable for fine cutting."
Xu Shuwei nodded. "That makes sense."
Chen Mengchuan smiled and said, "This is just the first asteroid. There will be many more asteroids to come, so we need to confirm which asteroid has the most value for deep cutting. And our current metal smelting plant is not fully ready to digest this asteroid."
"But everything is moving in the right direction. Our technology tree seems to be on the right track."
Shameful, did something stupid, four days at the police station...
