It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

The asteroid belt of the solar system, the spirit star.

Bart sat in the cockpit expressionlessly, staring straight at the unchanging scenery in front of him.

"Captain, when can we go back?"

On the radio, there were voices of teammates asking feebly.

Bart turned his head to look at the Hummingbird-2 starship not far away from him, and some new Hummingbird-type starships in the distance, and sighed deeply.

"Come on, come on."

Compared with the previous period, everyone at this time has completely lost the excitement of space mining.

Although the cockpit is equipped with complete living facilities and entertainment equipment, being locked up in this small cockpit for a long time is not a life that normal people can bear!

At the beginning, they could put on space suits and go for a walk on Spirit God Planet for a few laps.

But within a few times, they were completely tired of this pastime.

Bart looked at the warehouse capacity on the holographic image in front of him, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

95%

Almost full!

This means that they can leave this damn spirit star and return to Mars immediately!

"drop!"

"A communication request from Mars has been detected, and it will be connected in ten seconds."

The voice of Weak AI One sounded in the cockpit.

Bart was slightly taken aback.

Communication request you can't refuse?

He hurriedly reached out and rubbed his stiff face, and looked at the camera and holographic image in front of him with a straight expression.

As the countdown ended, the holographic image quietly changed, and Lu Yongchang appeared in front of Bart.

"Lu, Professor Lu!" Bart's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in a low voice.

He thought about countless possibilities.

But he never expected that this irresistible communication was dialed by Professor Lu Yongchang himself!

Seeing the serious expression on Lu Yongchang's face, Bart quickly put away the surprise on his face.

Because of the delay, this is not a real-time communication, but a pre-recorded video.

"Bart, Zero, I shouldn't have read it wrong, right?"

Zero's voice came from the side: "There is no mistake, Professor."

Bart who saw the video: "..."

Lu Yongchang coughed lightly: "Bart, I have an important task for you."

"..."

……

After a few minutes.

Bart sat on a chair, staring blankly at the picture in the holographic image.

An asteroid with a diameter of 100 kilometers?

Or is it headed straight for Mars?

WTF? !

Before Bart could breathe a sigh of relief, the communication was shut down, and One's voice sounded again: "Captain Bart, the coordinate file from Mars was detected, is it open?"

Bart exhaled forcefully: "Open the file!"

In the next second, a star map appeared in the holographic image.

The location of the target and the spirit star is clearly marked on it, and a faint dotted line gradually appears between the two.

That was the best route calculated by the onboard computer.

Bart pondered for a moment, then pressed the radio communication button in front of him.

"Hudgens, Jason."

"I have to go first."

[Mining nanorobots are being recalled]

While recalling all the nanorobots, Bart said on the radio: "Professor Lu has given me a special task."

"Special mission? Or Professor Lu?!" Jason yelled strangely, and asked in a hurried tone, "Captain, are you hysterical?"

Bart rolled his eyes angrily: "Seriously."

"There is an asteroid passing in the direction of Mars. I have to go and see the situation."

The voice of inquiry on the radio channel suddenly disappeared.

a long time.

"Asteroid?" Huggins' voice came, "There is nothing wrong with Mars...is it?"

[Nanobots have been recalled]

[The fixed hook lock has been retracted]

Seeing this prompt, Bart decisively pressed the start button of the Hummingbird starship.

"Don't worry, with Professor Lu here, what can happen?"

"I'll go first, see you in Mars City!"

After the words fell, a faint blue flame suddenly lit up at the bottom and tail of the Hummingbird starship!

Chapter 223 Simulated Impact: Rings of Mars

a few hours later.

【Caution! ]

[There are still 200 kilometers to the target! 】

[Deceleration program starts! 】

The prompt message on the hologram cheered Bart up.

200 kilometers is an extremely short distance for the Hummingbird starship.

Amid the discomfort caused by deceleration, an asteroid with a bumpy surface and a somewhat metallic luster appeared in front of Bart.

It is only half the size of Spirit Star, and the metallic luster on the surface is far inferior to Spirit Star.

"One, start the docking procedure."

Bart straightened his body, staring fixedly at the "scary-looking" asteroid in front of him.

According to Professor Lu's request, he needs to land on this asteroid and detect the material composition inside it.

Under One's control, the speed of the hummingbird starship gradually decreased, and it approached the asteroid.

……

Mars City No. [-], the main meeting room.

The moment the communication was connected, the true face of the asteroid suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The hummingbird starship slowly docked on it.

With the deployment of nano-robots, lines of accurate data appeared in front of Lu Yongchang.

"30% iron and nickel, and 50% rock..." Lu Yongchang put his hand on his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

After a few minutes, the data transfer is complete.

"Professor Lu?" Albert looked at Lu Yongchang nervously across the conference table, "Can Mars withstand the impact of this asteroid?"

Hearing this question, Lu Yongchang couldn't help being stunned.

Afterwards, he looked at Albert strangely: "Member Albert, I can assure you that Mars can definitely withstand the impact of this asteroid."

As he said that, Lu Yongchang turned his head towards Zero's avatar and winked.

A hologram on a conference table shows an asteroid heading straight for Mars.

"Of course, we will definitely not be able to withstand the impact of this asteroid." Lu Yongchang shrugged, "This is a simulation picture with zero calculations."

The voice fell, and in the picture, the asteroid and Mars had a "close contact".

Near the huge crater, it is filled with scorching magma.

That is the result of the conversion of kinetic energy carried by the asteroid into internal energy.

The environment on the surface of Mars has undergone earth-shaking changes, even if it is called hell, it is no exaggeration!

At the moment of impact, countless rocks were accelerated to escape velocity and flew into space.

Time began to speed up.

Under the influence of Mars' gravity, they form a ring structure similar to Saturn's rings.

When the dust settled, Mars became the only solid planet with a planetary ring in the solar system.

Looking at the simulated screen in front of him, Albert swallowed slightly.

"Yongchang, don't scare other congressmen." The voice of the chairperson came, "Is there any solution?"

Lu Yongchang smiled easily and stood up from his seat.

"There are currently two solutions."

"First, send out a large number of hummingbird-type mining starships, and dismantle them all before it arrives."

The MPs nodded.

That's not a bad solution.

Lu Yongchang changed his voice: "However, there is a problem with this plan."

"According to the mining speed of the hummingbird starship, even if we send all the hummingbird starships in the asteroid belt, the time is still not enough."

"Therefore, I prefer the second option."

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang stretched out his hand and swiped in the air.

A brand new holographic projection screen appeared in front of everyone.

In the picture, a starship with a hideous appearance is quietly parked next to the Martian spaceport.

In the front of the starship, five thick gun barrels are arranged in sequence.

"This is... Luanniao?" The chairman of the council frowned and asked softly.

Lu Yongchang's eyes lit up, and he nodded towards the old man: "The congressman has good eyesight."

"This Luanniao starship has been changed like this so you can recognize it!"

The old man smiled and shook his head: "So, what can this modified starship do?"

Facing the old man's question, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yongchang's mouth.

"Chairman, have you heard of electromagnetic guns?"

Before everyone could react, the holographic projection screen in front of them changed again.

Five straight and shiny gun barrels appeared in front of everyone!

"Let me introduce the latest research results of the Academy of Sciences during this period." Lu Yongchang waved his big hand in the air, "Electromagnetic coil gun!"

……

After half an hour.

In the main conference room, all the councilors stared at the holographic image in front of them with their eyes wide open.

"Professor Lu, is this data reliable?!" Jingpu asked with his eyes slightly red and his breathing rapid.
