Chapter 815 Hammer

After the last time the United States launched an operation to capture an asteroid, Dong Chen discovered that the United States was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.

After Arclight Group took over Musk's company, Dong Chen knew that the United States no longer planned to compete with Arclight Group at this critical moment of technological development.

Such a country in the United States will no longer cause any trouble.

Although the United States internally said that this was for a better future, Dong Chen was certain that as long as the Arc Light Group showed no signs of weakening, the United States would never openly cause trouble or even start a war with the Arc Light Group.

But Dong Chen still underestimated the United States. Although the turmoil between Arclight Group and the United States will no longer arise, the United States can make waves on its own.

Understanding this truth, Dong Chen did not underestimate the "unintentional" destructive power of the United States, so he asked No. 1 to transfer another unit of surveillance bugs to the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration to monitor their every move.

Now the United States and Arclight Aerospace are competing for the throne of power in the space field. The place where trouble is easy to cause trouble is the American Space Agency. Keep an eye on their command center, and then find out which conference room the leader of the space agency is going to. Monitor the small The insect is right to follow.

After watching the follow-up surveillance video, the experts and officials with gloomy faces in the conference room, and the occasional supplements from No. 1, Dong Chen finally knew what was going on.

The United States was unwilling to give up, and Dong Chen knew that. After letting No. 1 bring NASA back into the scope of surveillance, Dong Chen also learned about their follow-up plans.

The first asteroid was dragged into the earth's orbit by them, and the whole process was very successful, causing a huge sensation.

But after finishing it, the same question remains, how can I continue to attract news points to myself? Then let the people of the world realize the power of the United States?

The problem was back to square one, and it bothered them.

However, after their discussion, since the plan to capture asteroids was quite successful, let's continue on this path.

There is obviously no benefit in competing with others on projects pioneered by Arc Light Aerospace, let alone projects that Arc Light Aerospace cannot do.

So after thinking about it over and over again, the path I created to capture asteroids is still reliable.

The first place has been taken by myself, so whatever I do in the future will be compared with myself.

Finally, after a meeting, it was decided that they planned to get ten asteroids and put them all in Earth orbit.

The Arc Light Group has ten space stations, so they have ten asteroids, plus a space station. These eleven things are all larger than the Arc Light Group's space station.

Not only are they bigger, when all projects are completed, they will have one more unit than the Arc Light Group.

Ten to eleven, the United States wins.

Moreover, those ten asteroids will be used as reserve resources for the United States to develop its space power, and there will be no waste. In Chinese, they are "prepared for trouble" and "prepared for a rainy day", which is a sign of wisdom.

After the United States builds the new International Space Station in the future, and then specifically enhances its smelting and manufacturing systems, it will be much more convenient for the United States and its allies to discover space capabilities.

The materials are at the "doorstep", so how fast is the development speed?

After determining what to do, they began to discuss a detailed plan, and they also upgraded the "Hercules" intelligent thruster, learned from the first implementation experience, and made subtle adjustments to the overall plan to make it more Thorough and perfect.

However, the asteroid capture plan, which had already had one successful experience, failed the second time.

"...I've seen their plan, and it feels really good. The equipment is more advanced than the first time, and the plan is better than the first time. Why did something go wrong?"

After reading it, Dong Chen became even more confused.

Because this is a bit unreasonable.

"Sir, there is no news yet. They are also conducting urgent internal investigations. I will inform you as soon as there is news." No. 1 replied.

"Okay," Dong Chen was helpless and then asked, "What about their defensive measures? They are always on. Is there any surprise?"

"Yes, sir, their defense measures are exactly what they said. They were activated when the asteroid began to approach the Earth and were aimed at the target."

With that said, No. 1 also showed Dong Chen some information, all of which were information on the corresponding defensive measures launched by the United States.

However, No. 1 said after answering Dong Chen's question, "However, sir, it may not be that easy for them to eliminate the threat of this second asteroid."

"Why?"

Dong Chen said doubtfully.

"Have you forgotten? The name of the second asteroid they captured is "Iron Hammer". As the first giant near-Earth asteroid found by ArcLight Spaceflight, you gave it the name."

No. 1 said as he showed Dong Chen a picture.

Hammer?

When No. 1 mentioned the name and the picture shown, Dong Chen immediately remembered it.

"Well, no wonder!"

"Just because of the name, the United States will probably get a beating this time."

The asteroid "Hammer" was only discovered after the establishment of ArcLight Aerospace.

Since scientists on Earth discovered the first near-Earth asteroid, the number of near-Earth asteroids has been constantly being refreshed. Because of the continuous upgrading of science and technology, scientists can discover and track them more effectively.

Of course, financial allocation is indispensable here. Without money, it is difficult to effectively maintain effective tracking accuracy and continuous discovery quantity, because there are also a lot of resources to be used during this period.

However, for the sake of humankind's own safety, countries with space capabilities have relevant near-Earth asteroid discovery and tracking agencies.

The daily job is to discover new near-Earth asteroids, calculate their threat to the earth, and then track them. Finally, they deliver synchronized information to colleagues and exchange information to ensure that they spend the least money and do the most things.

After all, the matter of an asteroid hitting the earth is not just a matter for one country. Its consequences are absolutely global, so it requires the cooperation of all countries.

After the establishment of ArcLight Aerospace, it subsequently joined the near-Earth asteroid defense system. Due to its advanced technology, it has discovered many new near-Earth asteroids and provided accurate tracking data.

This "hammer" is one of them.

When this new near-Earth asteroid was first discovered, orbit calculations revealed that it was also orbiting the sun and would pass by the Earth every five years.

Its shape is similar to a bold Q version of the letter "T". The widest part reaches 2.5 kilometers, and the longest part is almost 4 kilometers. Although it does not have the largest near-Earth asteroid "Tutatis" discovered so far, "Big, but it has also entered the first echelon of giant asteroids.

However, further research later found that it had a high metal content and was a typical metallic asteroid. Coupled with its shape, Dong Chen looked at it and said directly, "Isn't this just a hammer?"

So this giant near-Earth asteroid discovered by ArcLight Aerospace was called "Hammer."

In line with the principle of "discover first, name first", the international community also agreed to the name.

Not to mention, people who have seen its shape and know its composition think that this name is quite appropriate.
