Chapter 223 Simulated Impact: Mars Ring

A few hours later.

[Attention! ]

[200 kilometers to the target! ]

[Deceleration program started! ]

The prompt information on the holographic image made Bart alert.

200 kilometers is a very short distance for the Hummingbird Starship.

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

It is only half the size of Psyche, and the metallic luster on the surface is far less than that of Psyche.

"One, start the docking program."

Bart straightened his body and stared at the "ferocious" 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 the control of One, the speed of the Hummingbird Starship gradually decreased and approached the asteroid.

...

In the main conference room of Mars City No. 1.

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

The Hummingbird Starship slowly docked on it.

As the nanorobots were deployed, rows of precise data appeared in front of Lv Yongchang.

"30% iron and nickel, and 50% rock..." Lv Yongchang held his chin with his hand and nodded thoughtfully.

A few minutes later, the data transmission was completed.

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

Hearing this question, Lv Yongchang was stunned.

Then, he looked at Albert with a strange face: "Senator Albert, I can guarantee that Mars can definitely withstand the impact of this asteroid."

As he said, Lv Yongchang turned his head and winked at Zero's virtual image.

In the holographic image on the conference table, an asteroid hit Mars directly.

"Of course, we definitely can't withstand the impact of this asteroid." Lv Yongchang shrugged, "This is a simulation picture calculated by Zero."

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

Near the huge crater, there was a lot of hot magma.

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

The environment on the surface of Mars has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is no exaggeration to call it hell!

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

Time began to accelerate.

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

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

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

"Yongchang, don't scare other members." The voice of the head of the parliament came, "Is there any solution?"

Lu Yongchang smiled with ease and stood up from his seat.

"There are currently two solutions."

"First, send a large number of hummingbird-type mining starships to decompose them all before it arrives."

The members of the House of Representatives nodded one after another.

This is a good solution.

Lv Yongchang changed the subject: "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, there is still not enough time."

"Therefore, I prefer the second plan."

As he said this, Lv Yongchang stretched out his hand and drew a line in the air.

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

In the screen, a starship with a ferocious appearance quietly stopped beside the Mars Spaceport.

Five thick gun barrels were arranged in sequence in the front of the starship.

"Is this... Luan Bird?" The head of the council frowned and asked softly.

Lv Yongchang's eyes lit up and nodded to the old man: "The head of the council has good eyesight."

"You can recognize this Luan Bird Starship even after it has been modified like this!"

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

Faced with the old man's question, Lv Yongchang smiled mysteriously.

"Speaker, have you heard of electromagnetic guns?"

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

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

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

...

Half an hour later.

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

"Professor Lv, is this data reliable?!" Bip asked with red eyes and rapid breathing.

"Can the speed of the shell really reach 6000 kilometers per second?!"

"It is also loaded with a micro-nuclear bomb?!"

"This, the power of this shot is not..." Bip took a deep breath and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "Destroy the world?!"

Bip showed a look of relief and satisfaction in his eyes.

As the former president of the Soviet Union, the moment he saw this rough gun barrel, he felt that his life had been sublimated!

Lv Yongchang's mouth twitched.

The expression of Member Bip at this time was exactly the same as Yevgeny's a few days ago.

"Mr. Jingpu, calm down." Lu Yongchang sighed softly, "This thing is not as powerful as you think."

"Maybe it's good for dealing with asteroids."

"But in an interstellar war, this thing can't play a decisive role."

Jingpu's expression froze.

Before he could continue speaking, the voice of the chairman of the council came again: "Yongchang, how is the manufacturing progress of this Luanniao?"

Hearing this, the expression on Lv Yongchang's face became awkward.

"Ahem!"

He coughed twice.

"Manufacturing progress..."

"At present, the Luanniao starship has entered the Mars spaceport."

"..."

The main conference room was silent.

Fang Xu, who was sitting next to Lv Yongchang, silently covered his eyes with his hands.

What is this?

"...You mean, the transformation has not started yet?" The chairman of the council was silent for a while, and confirmed again with a strange look.

Lv Yongchang nodded silently.

The atmosphere in the conference room became more and more strange.

"But it's not a big problem!" Lv Yongchang smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand and slid in the air, switching the holographic projection screen.

"According to calculations, this asteroid will arrive near Mars in a month."

"We have plenty of time to transform the Luanniao starship."

"If nothing goes wrong, we will intercept it 100 million kilometers away from Mars."

"It just so happens that it can test the power of the electromagnetic coil gun for us."

"To be on the safe side, within this month, the Academy of Sciences will make every effort to manufacture hummingbird starships and recall all hummingbird starships in operation."

"If the electromagnetic coil gun fails to intercept, we can also break it down into some fragments with less lethality."
