Chapter 804 Ants Move Mountains

They were originally very happy about the grand scene of more than a dozen rockets being launched together and the smooth progress of the "Tutatis" project, but they became unhappy as they chatted.

Because the strength gap between the two sides is... a bit big.

I don't feel it when I don't think about it, but the more I talk about it, the more it gets more and more disturbing.

It is precisely because they are insiders and know the details here, that they are more aware of the gaps here.

"...Now they have completed the ship-based model of controllable nuclear fusion, as well as the high-thrust ion thruster. As long as they continue to develop and develop, these technologies will undergo some upgrades. After combining them with the aerospace aircraft, the arc light aerospace will The next generation of aerospace aircraft may be officially renamed small spacecraft.”

"It is even said that their private aerospace aircraft will soon be on the market. The space channels of the Earth-Moon system will be completely opened. At this point, it will be completely civilianized."

"Whether a technology can be used by civilians is a sign of its maturity. Now, aerospace technology like this can not only judge the maturity of the technology, but also has a milestone significance."

"Yes," Victor sighed after listening to Bretta's remarks, "How can we relax under such circumstances? It can only be said that the pressure will be increasing."

"Now we can only attract attention by capturing asteroids, but the core thing is still the initial island. I hope their cracking work can be faster."

Hearing this, Bulita, who knew a little more about things on the Initial Island than Victor, said in a dumbfounded voice, "Your request...if the engineers on the Initial Island hear it, they might come." Looking for a duel with you."

"I know my request is a bit excessive, but there's nothing I can do about it," Victor shrugged helplessly, "Their progress there is slow, and we can't make it fast here. When will we be able to catch up with Arc Light Spaceflight?"

"Arclight Aerospace has been developing. If we don't endure some hardships, how can we catch up?"

If the aging Chinese engineers knew about their current mood, they would definitely pat them on the shoulder and tell them that this is nothing, and that they just need to relax. This is how they came here in the first place.

How can you catch up if you don't work hard, and sometimes you even have to work hard.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is something I have experienced personally.

Moreover, at that time, China was still sandwiched between two big countries. Although it was sometimes possible to have both sides, relying on others to make a living was not a reliable life after all. People could do whatever they wanted with you. .

The United States is fine now. The Arc Light Group has no intention of interfering in international affairs. Without the involvement of the Arc Light Group, the United States still seems to be number one in the world. It just needs to be prepared to catch up from behind. China is a little unclear about the level now. That's it.

It is precisely because of its strength that Arc Light Group's journey is like a sea of ​​stars.

As long as no one takes the initiative to cause trouble, then they will at least insist on the Stars and Sea not wavering for a hundred years.

But in any case, the United States' plan to capture asteroids this time has indeed attracted a lot of attention. The United States also launched a live broadcast, but there was no one in their live broadcast, just an ugly rock.

Three days later, when the "Hercules" approached the asteroid "Tutatis", they connected the perspectives of each "Hercules" to the live broadcast, allowing people on the earth to see the target. .

Then it took a few more hours for the "Hercules" to adjust their speed and angle while surrounding them and approaching their mission target this time.

As "Hercules" approaches, people can see the asteroid more and more clearly, and they are becoming more and more excited, because no country has ever been able to get so close to the asteroid. At most, they are doing other things. The detector passed by and couldn't see very clearly.

These smart thrusters are aimed at it this time, and they are all-round. These thrusters must be attached to all angles of the asteroid to ensure that thrust can be generated at every angle, and then to achieve various tasks. This kind of movement is flexible, so the picture you see is also all-round.

Looking closer, the shape of the "Tutatis" asteroid looks a bit like a shelled peanut, and from other angles it looks a bit like a piece of ginger, because its shape is actually not that regular and has a lot of bumps.

Some of these incomplete places were formed by the impact of smaller asteroids, and some seemed to be self-inflicted. These places are just like the small pits on the skin of peanut shells and ginger.

Its color looks yellowish from a distance, so its shape makes it look like a peanut or ginger.

Of course, that's what it looks like when you're a little further away. When you get closer, it doesn't look like it at all, because when you look at it from a close distance, its appearance is extremely rough.

And after looking closer, I found that its colors are still very rich.

Yellow can only be regarded as the base tone, and there are a lot of reds on it, as well as gray, blue, black, green and other colors, which are the colors of some of the mineral resources it is rich in.

That's just what you see on the surface, it should be richer in color inside.

But what ordinary people can see is these appearances. Even if they see a little bit of gravel on the surface, they don't think it's anything. But in the eyes of astronomers and professionals, this is the structure of "Tutatis" feature.

"Sure enough, it is not a whole piece of debris, but many fragments gathered together due to gravity to form an asteroid. It is very unstable, like a 'pile of rubble.'"

"It does seem that this time the United States installed rocket engines on it to change its orbit. It must have extremely precise calculations. Judging from their appearance, they should be full of confidence."

"That's right, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has invested a lot of resources this time, otherwise this plan will not be completed."

Ordinary people don't think as much as experts think. They just think that the closer they get to this asteroid, the more they can feel its hugeness. From the picture, looking at the other "Hercules" smart thrusters approaching the asteroid, it feels like A bunch of ants are approaching a big mountain.

Although it's a bit exaggerated, that's how they really feel.

With just these little things, can such a huge asteroid be brought into orbit around the earth and stop there steadily?

With a lot of doubts, they saw high-pressure gas ejected from some small injection devices of the "Hercules" smart thruster, maintaining a stable attitude, and then many drilling devices would be detected on the side facing the asteroid, rotating rapidly. He burrowed into the rock in front of him.

In this way, the "Hercules" smart thruster is firmly fixed on the asteroid, and there will be no accidents due to unstable fixation during future jet propulsion.

After everything was ready, a spectacular scene happened.

All the "Hercules" intelligent propulsion systems on the side of "Tutatis" were ignited, spraying out hot flames, showing a powerful reaction force to stop the asteroid's forward force.

Although there is no third perspective for filming, the audience can see some of the thrusters at full fire from the perspective of some smart thrusters on the side.

It was truly spectacular.
