Half-immortal civilization

The space race is intensifying, while the nations on the ground are increasingly uniting.As the space competition becomes more and more serious, the consumption of resources is getting worse, and the demand for science and technology and talents is also increasing.

In this regard, Huaxia still has master companies that use cutting-edge technology to plunder resources around the world to support their own businesses.Traditional big countries such as the United States and Russia rely on their huge land, a sound economic system, a solid scientific foundation, etc. to support their own aerospace industry.However, there are still more countries in the world that do not have the ability to independently support aerospace development, and have to unite and unite again!

The combined scope of the Arabian Peninsula region has been extended to Egypt; Brazil in South America is annexing other countries.As for China, it has also received requests from countries such as North Korea and Laos to merge into China.

People of insight have already seen that the earth is undergoing a transformation, a transformation with no retreat: In this space age, failure, no matter whether it is a country or a nation, will always become a symbol in the history books!There is no other possibility.

Cuba, which is close to the United States, is also applying to be incorporated into the United States, getting rid of the remote China.There are also some countries, such as Canada, which have some foundations, and jointly develop the aerospace industry with other countries through the establishment of super groups.An unprecedented tense atmosphere enveloped the whole world.

As mentioned earlier, the space age is an era of globalization, and it is difficult to support astronomical consumption by relying solely on the power of one country.When hundreds of millions of dollars are often used as the calculation unit in space, the economic system on the ground has actually collapsed.If it weren't for the state's strong control, I don't know what kind of chaos it would be like.

A large amount of social resources, even talents, have been taken away; the so-called democracy is also gradually declining, and the centralization of power is expanding step by step.This is an irreversible process, and it is also an irreversible process.This is not a decision made by a small number of people for their own interests, but in this era, it has to be so.Only in this way can the power of the whole country be gathered, form a fist, and rush out of space.

Many people have already expressed their confusion about the future, but there is nothing they can do.Fortunately, this does not include master companies.

At the end of May 2050, a conflict broke out between China and India, and Myanmar was finally unable to support the huge international pressure. Coupled with domestic voices, it wanted to be merged with neighboring powers in order to continue.

The fierce space competition is the cold war of the new era, a cold war that spreads all over the world.Already too many countries have had to spend the last bits of capital in their treasuries for this.However, the world is never fair. Some countries are born weak and small, even if they have exhausted all their capital, they still can only look up to the space powerlessly.There are only three or two satellites, and it is really impossible to take out.

But India did not know how to get the news, and took the initiative to contact Myanmar; at this time, Myanmar's application had been submitted to the capital of China.The unprecedented strength of India, which has re-merged Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Bangladesh, is not afraid of China's space-based weapons and shows a tough attitude.

Of course, Huaxia cannot be subdued. Seeing that a conflict is about to be inevitable, the world has also begun to be passive.Everyone has agreed, you can play the Cold War in any way, but don't get angry!

If these two big countries really fight, it is really possible to trigger a world war.

The international situation, which was already tense enough, became tense again.

The already fragmented Association of Southeast Asian Nations cannot handle it.

But sometimes things go really unexpectedly.

On June 6, the British Federation of Save the Earth issued a statement: Apophis is coming!Will be inserted into Earth orbit on July 2th!
Crap!In a word, the tension in the whole world was instantly transferred to space!
Apophis, the Egyptian god of destruction, but in the space age, that name was given to an asteroid.

According to the existing astronomical observations (the following information comes from the Internet, try to be as concise as possible, and occupy less words), Apophis, an asteroid that threatens the earth the most—there is no one.It has a diameter of about 394 meters, an elliptical shape, and an estimated weight of 4500 million tons (according to rock texture, non-ferrous estimation). It revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit with a revolution period of 354 days. However, because the asteroid orbit is not very stable, even if It is a headache for real experts (so I did not calculate the orbit o(n_n)o haha~).

This asteroid once caused panic among humans. On April 2029, 4, it will be handed over to the earth's orbit, and it will be directly inserted into the space of 13 miles within the synchronous orbit (some say 2.9 miles, etc.), frightening the people on earth.According to the calculations of modern scientists, an asteroid exceeding 3,3.5 kilometers hits the earth, which will cause a global disaster. This is how the dinosaurs ended (one of the modern scientific theories); while an asteroid exceeding 10 kilometer will cause 15 billion deaths and injuries, A veritable god of death.

(The following paragraphs first express that I am guilty...) Many people now know that there is an asteroid belt in the solar system, which is located between Mars and Jupiter, and is about one astronomical unit wide (no exact information found) belt, in which there are more than hundreds of thousands (some say hundreds of millions) of asteroids.Everyone knows this.

But both the scientists and the state have lied to the public, but it's a white lie.In fact, strictly speaking, there is no so-called asteroid belt at all, it's just that there are too many between Mars and Jupiter.If it is really counted as the asteroid belt, its exact range should be the space between the earth and Venus, and the space between Jupiter, which is considered an asteroid belt.In the vicinity of the earth alone, there are 1106 asteroids (one that is larger than ten meters) that threaten the earth, and the total number of asteroids that are in danger of falling to the earth is about 4.7; the weight of the earth increases by about 1.2 trillion tons every year, and the diameter increases 0.45mm.Those so-called meteor showers are actually the performance of asteroids crashing into the earth's atmosphere, but they are too small, and they disappear due to violent friction before they approach the surface. (Will it be investigated...)
In fact, Earth is surrounded by debris, remnants of the creation of the solar system.And now, this asteroid is suddenly approaching, and it is estimated that it will pass by tens of thousands of kilometers in the outer space of the earth again... This is almost scratching the head!
It's just that the scientists were a little flustered. According to estimates, Apophis should not come at this time. The last time it threatened the earth should be around 2071.But at this time, a theory explained that because the solar system is entering or approaching the remnants of a supernova explosion, the orbits of small and unstable asteroids are affected (don’t panic, the plot of the novel, o(n_n)o~), thus Deviated from the inherent track.And now the asteroid Apophis may fall into the space keyhole under the gravity of the earth, and finally fall to the earth, and then... there will be no more.

Some people may say how can an asteroid with a diameter of less than 500 meters pose a fatal threat to the earth?Then let's look at the thickness of the crust. The thinnest part is only 8.5 kilometers (ocean), the average thickness of the crust is 17 kilometers, and the average thickness of the continental crust is 33 kilometers.And the diameter of the earth is more than 1.2 kilometers!What does this ratio represent?The earth is a ball of lava, with only a layer of rock as thick as a hair on the surface. Once the impact force is too large, the rock layer will be broken, and even the lava will fluctuate, which may cause a large earthquake around the world...

At that time, the volcano erupted, the ash covered the sky for several months, and the cold ruled the earth... This is the reason for the extinction of the dinosaurs proved by modern science.

Many people don't understand why geologists are so pessimistic. When they see this, they understand that the earth is a real dumpling with thin skin!
But now, Apophis is back, and China and India can't take care of it for a moment, and rush to find a solution, because it is estimated that one in seven thousand hits the earth, which is already an extremely dangerous number in space.

All of a sudden, the whole world was already tense because of the space competition, but was provoked by those who wanted to, and the end of the world came again!
But there are more people with knowledge and insight.

The United Nations came forward to find Gaoshou Company and asked Gaoshou Company whether it could destroy the asteroid.After all, the Master Company has destroyed a comet with a core of hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

Instead of being so worried every year, it would be better to completely destroy the asteroid!
