that's all.

As time goes by, more and more advanced equipment are manufactured, and at the same time, the day before Pluto reaches Jupiter is approaching.

…

On April 12, 2031, the first planetary defense orbital gun was successfully deployed into orbit around Mars.

In June of the same year, the Taishan-2 space kinetic energy weapon was manufactured.

On August 20, 2033, the Mars military base officially acquired space strike capabilities.

…

On March 9, 2034, the Future Star Battleship successfully passed the start-up test at the Space Shipyard and was declared into service that month.

In May of the same year, the Taishan-6 space kinetic energy weapon left the factory.

On January 28, 2036, the tenth Taishan space kinetic energy weapon left the space shipyard. The space kinetic energy weapon manufacturing project was announced to be over. The shipyard was fully committed to manufacturing the Yas, humanity's third interstellar battleship.

"This report is all the efforts we have made in the past six years to deal with the Pluto crisis. Now we have the ability to solve Pluto. Based on the observed Pluto orbit data, we will officially launch into space next month.

The kinetic energy weapon heads to Jupiter and completes the collision with Pluto."

Wednesday, January 30, 2036.

virtual world.

Human Security Alliance Conference Hall.

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. With the efforts of the Future Technology Nuclear Fusion Institute and the Space Shipbuilding Factory, ten space kinetic energy weapons have been successfully manufactured.

Plus a new starship, the Future.

Because according to Xingtong's calculations, Pluto is about to reach the orbit of Jupiter. In order to implement the impact plan, humans also need to officially launch all space kinetic energy weapons to fly to Jupiter.

For this reason, Xu Lei specially convened this meeting as a member of the parliament.

It is worth mentioning that according to the original plan, only nine space kinetic energy weapons were needed to have the kinetic energy to impact Pluto and change its orbit. The extra one now was originally used as a backup, but in order to ensure the success of the mission, this

We will also send him there next time.

After all, the purpose of these kinetic energy weapons is to hit Pluto, and leaving one alone is of no use.

On the contrary, it will cause waste.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s in a virtual world, but Xu Lei still looks so young and handsome even after six years.

Compared with the many silver-haired members around him, he is simply out of place.

But looking at anyone present, no one dared to look down upon Xu Lei and looked at the plan completion report with great concentration.

There is no doubt about it.

Judging solely from the degree of completion of these three-step plans, mankind is victorious.

But whether it can complete the interference with Pluto's flight orbit as expected is still an uncertain question. After all, there is uncertainty in everything, and no one knows what will happen by then.

But there is no choice for humans.

If these space kinetic energy weapons are not launched, they will collide with Pluto and force it into the orbit of Jupiter to become a satellite.

Then Pluto will reach Mars at an extremely fast speed and eventually hit the Earth.

We must know that the observed diameter of Pluto is as high as more than 20 kilometers, and the actual value may be even higher. In this case, the planetary defense orbital gun deployed in the orbit of Mars may not be able to completely destroy Pluto.

So impact is the most appropriate method.

At this time, the other members sitting in the hall naturally had no objections, and immediately raised their hands to announce that the alliance had approved the launch application of Taishan's space kinetic energy weapon.

In addition, since this is the first head-on collision between humans and Pluto, its actions will also be disclosed to the global audience in the form of a global live broadcast, and everyone will witness this shocking and great scene.

It truly proves that human civilization has the ability to properly deal with extraterrestrial threats.

From a certain perspective, if the crisis of Pluto can be successfully resolved this time, it will become a satellite of Jupiter.

Then mankind will soon enter a second-level civilization.

Truly realize free travel in the solar system and explore more unknown areas.

At this moment, Congressman Enoch, who voted in favor, suddenly asked: "Congressman Xu, I wonder how sure we can be of hitting Pluto into the orbit of Jupiter in this operation?"

Different from when he first became a member of Parliament, Enoch has obviously become much more stable after these special years of baptism and precipitation.

And he is also truly worried about the safety of human civilization.

The reason is also very simple.

The status and rights he now possesses are all established on the basis of human civilization. If the crisis on Pluto is not resolved and human civilization faces the catastrophe of extinction, then there will be no use saying more.

It can be said that whoever dares to engage in intra-human confrontation now is equivalent to standing against all mankind.

How could it end well?

There will be no stupid person sitting in this position.

Xu Lei listened to Enoch's question without hesitation or perfunctory, and answered directly: "According to the calculation results of the brain, the probability of our space kinetic energy weapons colliding with Pluto is as high as 90%."

Above, even if Pluto is not captured by Jupiter in the end, its flight path will deviate and will no longer collide with the Earth."

Judging from the calculation results of Xingtong alone, the probability of 90% is indeed very high.

But it's not 100% after all.

There is still a possibility of failure during the impact.

For example, the flight path of Pluto did not change as expected.

The establishment of planetary defense orbital guns and underground dormant bases is precisely to prevent this ten percent possibility.

Everyone in the venue learned this number from Xu Lei, but they didn't show much concern, because no matter how they looked at this operation, they had a good chance of winning.

Maybe even the layout on Mars won't be of use.

Enoch understood and his expression softened a lot, and finally smiled at Xu Lei: "Then I would like to wish Congressman Xu a smooth solution to Pluto and a triumphant return!"

Then when the meeting ended, everyone's figures gradually blurred and disappeared, exiting the conference hall.

Because in addition to the ten Taishan space kinetic energy weapons, the two interstellar battleships Shenzhou Future, which are currently in official service of human civilization, will also go to Jupiter this time to clear the obstacles ahead and adjust the flight trajectory of the space kinetic energy weapons.

We must know that it will take at least about two months to travel from the Earth to Jupiter, even if the speed of light is one thousandth of the speed.

What's more, space kinetic energy weapons are slower than star battleships.

At the same time, in order to keep the space kinetic energy weapon in an accelerating state and hit Pluto with maximum power, there is no way to adjust the flight path too much during the flight.

It is very likely to encounter obstacles from special celestial bodies such as meteorites.

At this time, the role of the accompanying star battleships became apparent.

In addition, Xu Lei will follow the battleship and personally command this operation, so Enoch specially gave such a blessing.

But what is conceivable is that if Xu Lei successfully solves the crisis on Pluto, he will become a hero for all mankind when he returns to Earth. This honor is unmatched by anyone, and his entire life will be recorded.

The history of the development of human civilization.

In the room of the headquarters building, Xu Lei came out of the virtual cabin, took the coat handed by Chen Shihe and put it on, and asked casually: "Have you notified everyone?"

"The core personnel of Future Technology Company, as well as the main scientific researchers of the research center and institute have been notified, and some are already waiting in the conference room." Facing Xu Lei's inquiry, Chen Shihe answered with a gentle voice.

But if you look closely, you can see a little worry in his eyebrows.

She knew that Xu Lei was going to personally command this operation on a battleship, but after all, he was going to the distant Jupiter, so it was inevitable that she would be worried about Xu Lei's safety.

However, this matter is related to the survival of the entire human civilization, so she has no reason to dissuade her.

And Xu Lei and Chen Shihe have lived together for so many years, how could he not know what she was thinking? He immediately turned around and reached out to hold each other's cheeks, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, this time is mainly to complete the space mission."

In the mission of the collision between kinetic energy weapons and Pluto, the battleship will only assist but not participate."

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back safely." As if he didn't expect Xu Lei to make such a sudden move, Chen Shihe murmured softly with a slightly red face.

The two of them did not waste any more time and immediately walked towards the conference room.

What Xu Lei wanted to participate in today was not just the virtual meeting of the Human Security Alliance. In addition, he also held a special large-scale meeting, calling together all the company's core personnel and scientific researchers from research centers and institutes.

It is not only a summary of the work of the past few years, but also an arrangement of follow-up tasks.

This round trip to Jupiter will take at least a few months. If the Pluto crisis is successfully solved, everyone will be happy. If there is a 10% accident, the company must be prepared in advance.

People within the company and the research institute undoubtedly attached great importance to the sudden meeting held by Xu Lei.

One after another arrived at the large conference room of the headquarters building on time.

When Xu Lei and Chen Shihe pushed open the door and walked into the conference room, they saw that it was already filled with familiar figures.
Chapter completed!
