Chapter 641 I always want to quarrel with you

Is the Earth in Crisis?

This... the beginning of the meeting is a bit too high-energy, right?

Shouldn't the company group meeting discuss the company's future development and the group's future prospects?

To say that the earth is facing a crisis is a bit over the top, right?

However, some people frowned when they heard this, including Liu Linlang, the general manager of Arc Light Aerospace. He looked at the others, and finally looked at Dong Chen and said, "Chairman, speaking of this threat to the earth, recently The report from the Space Inspection Department does reflect some of the situation."

As he spoke, he clicked on a data report from the perspective of his smart glasses, which was exactly the information reported to him by the Space Inspection Department.

Then he clicked on the people sitting one by one, and all the information was sent to their smart glasses.

Dong Chen also took a look, but found that No. 1 had already shown it to him, so he didn't say anything, but made a gesture to Liu Linlang and said, "Manager Liu, please tell everyone briefly Well, what I’m going to say later has something to do with asteroids.”

"Okay, Chairman," Liu Linlang stood up and said.

"Everyone, when Arclight Aerospace's space monitoring department recently searched for and calculated paths for near-Earth asteroids, they compared it with previous years' monitoring data released by space departments of various countries and found that the threat of asteroids to the earth is increasing day by day."

"Several of these asteroids are very noteworthy. They are not only famous, but they are also related to several major events predicted by the doomsday."

"For example, this asteroid 4179," he continued after finding a model of a meteorite from the Arclight Aerospace information database and placing it in the center of the conference table for everyone to see. "It is also called 4179. Tutatis is 4.46 kilometers long and 2.4 kilometers wide, with one end larger and the other smaller, like a giant space peanut."

“It moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit and approaches the Earth every nearly four years. It is one of the largest asteroids that has ever approached the Earth.

"On December 12, 2012, 4179 Tutatis had a "perfect pass" with the earth. This day happened to be almost the same as the end of the world predicted by the Mayans, but fortunately it passed by. The prophecy did not come true.”

"Actually, 2012 was not the closest 4179 Tutatis came to the Earth. In 2004, 4179 Tutatis was only 0.0104 AU from the Earth, which is about 4 times the distance from the moon to the Earth, and it was closest to the Earth. is only 0.006 astronomical units at a time, which is about 2.3 times the distance from the moon to the earth."

Now when making plan reports, Arclight Group no longer uses PPT, but various 3D models and demonstration animations, which are assisted by intelligent systems, which are very convenient.

Watching the huge meteorite pass by the earth again and again, other people also broke into cold sweats again and again.

Other people's work has little to do with space, let alone these asteroids, but when these things are put in front of them, the impact is quite large.

Seeing the other people's entranced looks, Liu Linlang continued, "Although 4179 Tutatis did not hit the earth, scientists are still very worried. The reason is that it is too huge. Among the near-Earth asteroids, Tutatis is the largest one, and once Tutatis hits the earth, it will cause a devastating blow to the earth."

"The closest year it will pass near the Earth again is 2022, which is two years later."

"After calculation, the distance it passes this time may be only twice the distance between the Earth and the Moon, or even less. And when we wait for the next cycle, that is, in 2026, the probability of this asteroid hitting the Earth will increase rapidly. "

"This has not hit the earth so far, but a much smaller meteorite hit the earth before."

"In 2013, the Mao Xiong Kingdom was hit by a meteorite with a diameter of 17 meters and a weight of 10,000 tons. It hit the earth at a speed of about 18 kilometers per second. The explosion yield was equivalent to 470,000 tons of TNT. It was The air explosion was 30 times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb."

"This meteorite simply did not hit the ground directly. Instead, it disintegrated and exploded in the air. However, after the shock wave generated by its explosion reached the ground, it still shattered the glass of countless residents' homes, causing more than 1,200 local injuries."

"What's even more worrying than this is that humanity's various space early warning mechanisms actually had no warning for this meteorite rain."

"Of course, our Arc Light Group had not been established at that time. If our Arc Light Group had been established, there would not be such erroneous or missing information."

In addition to these, Liu Linlang also said a lot to those present, such as the late Mr. Huo's prediction that 2032 will be the real end of the world.

Scientists found the predicted asteroid and gave it the code name "2013TV135", and the danger index it caused to the earth has reached level one.

After analysis and calculation, if the asteroid keeps traveling along this trajectory, it will have a close contact with the Earth on August 26, 2032. The calculated chance of collision at that time was 1 in 63,000, but after arc-light spaceflight, Calculated again, this probability has increased a lot, which can be said to be very dangerous.

And on April 13, 2036, the 153-meter-long "Apophis" asteroid will also be very close to the Earth.

If you're lucky, it will miss Earth. If it is unfortunate, it will hit the earth, and the probability of it hitting the earth head-on has increased sharply compared to the previous calculation results after another calculation by Arc Light Aerospace.

In addition to these, there are many data changes. Liu Linlang will not mention them one by one. They are all included in the information sent to everyone sitting here.

These changed data may already be known to the space agencies of other countries, but they have not been published.

Because humans currently have no way to deal with them. If they are announced, they will only cause panic in society. Nothing can be done except this.

However, when everyone looks at these data, they all feel that the earth is lucky but at the same time they feel that the earth is really miserable. They want to come and fight against it until they die.

Of course, it is not that easy to kill the earth, but to kill the creatures above, the most important thing is that humans think that "creatures" refer to themselves, which is relatively simple.

This is so fucking embarrassing.

Dong Chen looked at the nervous managers and ministers, smiled and said, "Okay, now that I've finished telling you the bad news about Manager Liu, it's time for me to give you the good news."

"The good news is that we don't have to worry about these, because we are not one of those aerospace departments that needs technology but no technology, and money but no money."
