Chapter 902: Asteroid mining plan

Although Hawking has left British nationality, the Queen and the female are still sending him a blessing letter, and also sent a thank-you letter to Jiang Chen. Although the relationship with Europe is gradually deteriorating, the future group of people has unexpectedly gained British friendship.

Perhaps because of historical factors, or perhaps the Rothschild family's control over the British home is not as good as it was, or just because of a well-known old man in the scientific community.

Jiang Chen did not charge Hawking for surgery, but he was asked to join the University of Coro as a professor of physics. Although under the financial offensive of Jiang Chen, the University of Coro has recruited a large number of excellent teachers from all over the world, but apart from the 17th President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rafael Leif, there is really no face here. A top professor who is enough to advertise on admissions.

The arrival of Hawking undoubtedly solved this problem. Because of his participation, the influence of the University of Coro was raised to more than one level.

Of course, to cure Hawking's gradual freezing, Jiang Chen can not only give an advertisement to future human beings, but also give a sign to Coro University. These are secondary, and what he really sees is Hawking’s accomplishments in the field of cosmic research.

On the second day after the rehabilitation, Jiang Chen went to the Coro Central Hospital to find him again. After asking his wife and children to evade, he explained his intentions.

"Asteroid mining plan?" Hawking frowned slightly.

"We have noticed your research on the Beno asteroid and the predictions that it will collide with the Earth in 2135. If you can provide us with research information about this asteroid, then you can help. Very busy," Jiang Chen said.

In fact, Hawking’s accomplishment in the profession of the prophet is far less outstanding than his accomplishments in physics and cosmology. Like his previous series of predictions, this prediction about the collision of the Benu asteroid with the Earth in 2135 is also not fulfilled... because as early as the beginning of the 22nd century, this asteroid with a diameter of about 500 meters It was mined by nato.

In aerospace technology, the nato on the end of the world is slightly farther than the pa and the walk, and the cautious work on related technologies is also very cautious.

The Pan-African Library database does not contain detailed information about the Benu asteroid, such as the most critical orbit. However, in the database compiled by the technicians in the camp No. 27, Jiang Chen unexpectedly appeared a related model of asteroid capture technology.

According to Lin Ling, the Benu asteroid is one of the earliest captured asteroids and one of the easiest to capture. Take this asteroid to open the knife, for the aerospace technology is in the "emergence stage" of the star ring trade, it is undoubtedly a suitable tool for practicing!

However, after listening to Jiang Chen’s plan, Hawking was extremely worried about his performance.

"Have you ever thought about the disaster of mining failure?"

“The Benu asteroid is orbiting the Earth very close, and every six years as it passes through Earth orbit, we can even 'see' it from Earth. If your mining almost reduces its degree, it causes it to be Earth Gravity capture, the only result is directly collided with the Earth! Have you considered this consequence?" Hawking looked at Jiang Chen and said seriously.

“Of course I have considered it,” Jiang Chen said with a smile. “Because our plan is to reduce it, it is finally captured by the gravity of the Earth and Moon system, still within the Earth Moon system, at a height below the lunar orbit, along with the Moon. Running around the earth. Our scientists have calculated the best track to 'store' the asteroid,"

Hawking looked at Jiang Chen silently, only after a long while.

"Either you are a genius or a madman. If you miscalculate a decimal point, all human beings must be buried for your mistakes."

"I am very honored to receive this honor, but such an accident is impossible to live." Jiang Chen said with a smile, "I swear, my plan is foolproof."

The murky eyes stared straight at Jiang Chen, silent for a long while, and Hawking finally sighed.

"Although I want to stop you, I am afraid I don't have that ability at all. If you can increase the success rate of your plan, my research results on the Benu asteroid, you have taken it. In addition, although spacecraft and mining It's not the area I'm good at, but if it's a field related to cosmology, what's the use of mine, just talk to me."

After hearing Hawking's words, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for your understanding. Speaking of it, in addition to the Benu asteroid, I have a more important thing that you need to help."

"what's up?"

“In our experiments, our scientists accidentally observed a particle from the high-dimensional universe... We call it the Klein particle. It contains some mysteries related to time, black holes and other cosmic phenomena, but it is a pity. Yes, we have very little value for it. If you are interested, I hope that you can participate in related research."

......

As early as the beginning of the year, Jiang Chen had plans to capture this asteroid with unusually rich reserves of minerals. Although it was not disclosed due to various practical problems, the related preparatory work has never stopped. Such as research and construction of mining rockets, design capture programs, etc...

The asteroid capture program will be divided into three steps, namely, boarding 6, weaving, and traction.

The so-called Deng 6 is to shoot a mining spacecraft. After adding it to the same orbit as the asteroid, the construction of the surface of the 6 asteroids begins.

The weaving net is wrapped with a small outer shell that is about 500 meters in diameter. The material chosen is naturally graphene, which is suitable for weaving this giant net, whether it is toughness or strength.

The last is traction, which is also the most difficult and most critical part, which involves quite complicated mathematical problems. In addition, according to the estimation of the Space Shooting Center, it is necessary to complete the asteroid's artificial orbit and reduce it and capture it into a safe orbit by the Earth and Moon system. At least eight rm-32o rocket motives need to be deployed at the end of the trawl and pass the ignition. The order of the flameout and the degree difference are used to control the orbital trajectory of the asteroid.

A careless, light asteroid will leave the earth forever, and then the asteroid will slam into the earth. The trade of the ring can only reduce the ecology of the Earth by hitting the "Benu" asteroid. disaster.

If there is no quantum computer responsible for data processing, Jiang Chen did not dare to implement such a complicated project.

And even with the quantum computer as a data processing tool, there is a record of the end of the world about the Beno asteroid, and there is a lot of uncertainty in this project. As Hawking said, the person making this decision is either a genius or a complete madman.

But this first step is ultimately to go out.

Therefore, after repeatedly reviewing Kerwin’s plan, Jiang Chen cleanly signed his name on the document and approved the implementation of the plan. In order to avoid introducing unnecessary consequences, Jiang Chen did not report to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs in accordance with the procedures. Instead, he shot five mining rockets into space by building a "large space station."

The Benu asteroid has already moved to the Earth's vicinity and will pass through Earth's orbit at the end of December, which will be the best time to complete the "change of orbit" in the last ring of the asteroid capture program. If you miss it, you can only wait another six years.

In order to seize the opportunity of this six-year encounter, the asteroid capture plan will be synchronized with the space elevator! (To be continued.) 8
