Eight Hundred and Seventy Seventh Detonation
Judging from the current position of Phobos, after Io passes by Mars, it will pass by Phobos. The shortest distance between the two sides will not exceed 10,000 kilometers. If Phobos is detonated in advance, the fragments of Phobos will It is even possible to hit Io head-on, making the impact the most powerful.
Ling Yu immediately made a decision in his heart: "Order, the blasting of Deimos is cancelled, and everyone stands by; Phobos is waiting for the blasting order!"
"Yes!" Wang Tianyu agreed, and immediately conveyed the order.
The manpower arranged by the fleet near Deimos immediately died down. No matter how unwilling they were, no one dared to attack at this time.
But to be honest, deep down in the hearts of those people on Deimos, they were actually quietly relieved.
On Phobos, it was the opposite, and everyone instinctively tensed up.
On the main screen of the Nanzhou bridge, Jupiter, which is a circle larger than Mars, is approaching Mars step by step, and various data are rapidly leaking on the auxiliary screen beside it.
"Report, Jupiter's gravity is interfering with Mars, and the position of Mars is drifting slightly outward!"
Ling Yu was nervous: "Is it about to start?"
"It's started." Xu Morian said solemnly.
Ling Yu asked in a low voice: "Xugong, Jupiter's speed is so fast, and its mass is also larger than Mars. How far can Mars reduce the speed?"
"I don't know either." Xu Moliang said, "Speed, orbital altitude and timing of departure all affect it."
Ling Yu nodded and continued to stare at the screen.
He had always been worried about sending a fleet of escort fleets to Europa when it approached Mars, but the aliens didn't do that at all, and there wasn't even a single alien spacecraft in sight near Europa.
At this time, the distance between Jupiter and Mars was very close, Wang Tianyu suddenly let out a scream: "Mars, the speed of Mars is increasing, it is now 24.15...24.18...24.22 per second, and it is still rising!"
"Monitor closely, how is the speed of Zero?"
"It's falling, the speed of the descent is very small, it's now 82.22 kilometers per second!"
"How long will you be away from Mars?"
"Between 240 seconds and 270 seconds!"
"Continue to monitor and report any situation at any time!"
"yes!"
Ling Yu's eyes were fixed on the screen, and his heart became more and more uneasy.
From the decision to implement the Mars project at the end of January last year to the arrival of Jupiter today, human beings have been preparing for this collision for a whole year, and whether the collision is successful or not determines the fate of the earth. If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted, no matter how strong the heart is, You can't participate in this juncture, and you are still indifferent.
The countdown in the corner of the screen jumps steadily, and at this time, Jupiter is running to the other side of Mars. The fleet and Jupiter are on both sides of Mars. If the fleet retreats a certain distance, Jupiter will be seen just behind Mars. , Mars is surrounded by a half circle of ice white like a solar eclipse.
A small half of the other half circle is blocked by the shadow of Mars, and the other half is simply the night of Europa.
The rare sight is fleeting, Jupiter approached from the outer side of Mars' orbit, and while Mars' speed increased, its position obviously drifted outwards.
Euro is gradually flying in front of Mars. Its gravitational force acts on Mars, and Mars' speed is getting higher and higher. However, Euro's speed is far faster than Mars. The current situation is like Euro is dragging Mars forward. , the speed of Mars is increasing, and the speed of Io is gradually decreasing.
The orbital data of Io is also constantly being adjusted. The latest data shows that the closest distance between Io and Phobos is about 8,000 kilometers.
But it was not yet the time to detonate Phobos, Ling Yu's two hands were tightly clenched into fists, and the corners of his forehead were faintly sweating.
It's not just Ling Yu, there is one in the Fourth Fleet, whoever knows how to do it is not nervous?
"Thirty kilometers, the revolution speed of Mars exceeds 30 kilometers!" Wang Tianyu shouted out of composure.
"Shut up!" Ling Yu sternly shouted.
Wang Tianyu's sudden yell startled him, and he almost yelled the word detonation.
Now Europa is still in front of Mars, tens of seconds away from the optimal detonation point.
Half a minute later, Io Zero finally arrived at the best position, Ling Yu made a decisive decision, and suddenly yelled: "Detonate!"
Although it is possible to get better opportunities if you continue to wait, but at this time, Io may fly away from Mars at any time, and Ling Yu can no longer wait any longer.
With an order, a hill on Phobos suddenly collapsed and the ground cracked, and dazzling light and countless dust burst out from the bottom of the mountain. The hill was separated from Phobos under the force of the explosion, and the super engine placed on the mountainside suddenly penetrated into the ground. mountain.
The mountain and the super engine were tightly connected, and after two revolutions, the super engine started, quickly stabilizing the mountain's posture, and then fully activated the horsepower, pushing the hill weighing more than 100,000 tons towards Euro Zero.
Behind the hill that flew away, several super engines ignited together, supporting Phobos to turn at an angle, and the other hill was aimed at the direction of Zero.
Another blast, and the second hill races toward Io.
In this way, Phobos quickly fired four ammunition, and the first hill was already flying close to Io at this time, and it was directly in front of Io!
Europa was flying along an arc, while the trajectory of the hill was a straight line. The super engine behind the hill tried its best to push the hill to draw an arc, getting closer and closer to Europa.
The hill marked No. 1 on the screen was getting closer and closer to Jupiter, and everyone's hearts were raised. Finally, No. 1 hit the outside of Julius, plowing a furrow hundreds of kilometers long on the surface of Julius. Along the way, the ice and snow scattered, although it caused a lot of damage to Io Zero, but it couldn't be compared with the power of a head-on collision.
Everyone sighed in unison, and the voice was unbelievably neat.
Before the impact, the driver of the super engine escaped through the escape system in time. Seeing that Mount One only hit the side of Ion Zero, the driver regretted it. If he had not left and kept controlling the super engine, would he have been able to crash? To be more precise?
But it was too late to regret at this time.
At this time the second hill was already approaching, but it was even more deflected, and it didn't even brush it, and it passed directly outside the atmosphere of Io, without even startling half of the air flowers.
There was another tidy moan from the bridge.
The first two mountains passed by the outside of Io Zero. Ling Yu knew that he was in a hurry. If it was a little later, one of the two consecutive hills would definitely hit the front of Io Zero. At this moment , he can only put his hope on the next few "ammunitions".
All eyes fell on the third hill. Judging from the star map, its position is very positive. As long as it continues to fly down the current orbit, it will be able to hit Jupiter head-on without any mistakes, and complete the established plans of the Mars plan. Target.
