Chapter 1183: Cutting the target asteroid(1/2)
Blue Star Dragon State Space Agency.
Jiang Fan was anxiously waiting for news about the Dragon Kingdom's Space Predator fleet.
At this time yesterday, the Dragon Space Predator fleet sent back news, claiming that they would arrive at the target asteroid in 24 hours.
Other staff members were also staring at the main console, waiting for news about the Dragon Kingdom Space Predator fleet.
The unspeakable anxiety and worry in everyone's heart.
The space fleet of the Dragon Kingdom Predator has been in the depths of the universe for 6 months, which is also the farthest distance that Blue Star humans have reached.
They were afraid in their hearts, what if they didn't find the target asteroid position they had speculated before?
You know, capturing the target asteroid this time is very important to Dragon Kingdom.
Whether or not asteroids can be captured will directly determine whether humans on Blue Star can survive.
"Commander Jiang, why haven't the Predators contacted us yet? It's already been half an hour!"
"Do you think they will miss the target asteroid?"
Professor Li said worriedly.
Jiang Fan also knew in his heart that this possibility was indeed possible. After all, in the vast universe, it was still difficult to find the target asteroid.
A slightly wrong direction can make a big difference.
"Probably not, let's wait."
Another half hour passed.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but frown.
At this time, he had some doubts in his heart. Did Dragon Kingdom's Predator reach its predetermined location but failed to find the target asteroid?
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the main console!
"Zi...Zi..."
"This is the Dragon Kingdom Predator space fleet, calling the Blue Star headquarters!"
"This is the Dragon Kingdom Space Predator space fleet, calling the Blue Star headquarters!"
"..."
When Jiang Fan heard the call from the Predator, he immediately grabbed the communication device and said.
"This is Blue Star headquarters, I am Jiang Fan. Please speak!"
"This is Blue Star headquarters, I am Jiang Fan. Please speak!"
Jiang Fan's reply received a response quickly.
"Commander Jiang, I am Ma Yunlei, captain of the Predator space fleet."
"We have discovered the target asteroid!"
"We have discovered the target asteroid!"
Everyone at the space agency headquarters suddenly became excited when they heard the news.
"Great, our Predator has discovered the target asteroid."
"Next, as long as we bring the target asteroid back, our plan to save Blue Star will be successful!"
"..."
Jiang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He calmed down his emotions and then replied.
"Captain Ma, collect samples from the target asteroid immediately!"
"receive!"
Ma Yunlei responded.
Afterwards, he reported to Jiang Fan the current status of their Predator space fleet and hung up to end the call.
He knew very well that their time was very tight and there was no room for any slack.
Ma Yunlei then began to assign tasks.
They sent a small spacecraft to land on the target asteroid and collected 20 samples at different locations.
Subsequently, the small spacecraft returned to the spaceship.
Three hours later!
They decomposed these samples through machines.
After Ma Yunlei carefully compared.
Contact Jiang Fan immediately!
"Call Blue Star Headquarters, I am Predator Ma Yunlei!"
"Call Blue Star Headquarters, I am Predator Ma Yunlei!"
About ten seconds passed before he heard Jiang Fan's reply.
"I am Jiang Fan from Blue Star Headquarters, please speak."
Ma Yunlei said excitedly to Jiang Fan.
"Commander Jiang, based on the 20 samples we collected from the target asteroid, we found that the composition of the target asteroid is very consistent with our requirements."
"good!"
Although Ma Yunlei only heard Jiang Fan say one word, Jiang Fan's excitement could be heard from his tone.
"Commander Jiang, our first step was very successful."
"Yes, Captain Ma."
After a while, Jiang Fan ordered.
"Captain Ma, next, cut the target asteroid immediately."
"Yes, Commander Jiang."
Ma Yunlei then began to have the Predator space fleet conduct a comprehensive scan of the target asteroid.
Finally, a three-dimensional modeling was obtained on a quantum computer.
The technicians began to analyze the three-dimensional model.
Soon, they came up with a cutting plan.
The target asteroids are somewhat too heavy for their required weight.
Ma Yunlei needs to cut the target asteroid into a size suitable for them, and finally bring the target asteroid back.
"Captain Ma, the target asteroid has a mass of 18 billion tons. According to the situation, I only need 11 billion tons of mass and need to cut off 38%."
"This is the cutting plan..."
The technician explained the cutting plan to Ma Yunlei in detail.
Cutting the target asteroid is very important.
If it is too heavy or too light, they will fail to save Blue Star.
After the cutting plan was formulated, Ma Yunlei was still a little worried. Finally, they rehearsed it three times on the quantum computer.
After ensuring that there were no mistakes, it was decided to officially cut the target asteroid.
This cutting is very difficult because the target asteroid is in motion.
They need to maintain the same speed as the asteroid.
And when cutting, no other force can be exerted on the target asteroid.
This will change the direction and speed of the target asteroid.
Ma Yunlei began to arrange the fleet and prepare for action.
The fleet he is in is the Predator 1, and he is at the very rear of the target asteroid.
"The Predator 2 ship heads to the left side of the target asteroid..."
"The Predator 3 ship heads to the right side of the target asteroid..."
"The Predator 4 ship heads to the target asteroid..."
"The Predator 5 ship heads to the target asteroid..."
"The Predator 6 ship heads to the front of the target asteroid..."
Each fleet quickly arrived at its scheduled location.
"Report, Captain Ma, we have arrived at the designated location!"
"..."
