The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2170 Meteorite Impact

"Attention all posts, prepare in thirty minutes, propulsion system, navigation group, and telemetry group report status."

"Multi-directional thrusters are normal, fuel tank pressure is normal."

"The calibration of the combined navigation system for displacement monitoring and deformation monitoring has been completed, with a positioning error of ±0.05m/s2."

"The telemetry link of the entire system is normal, and the uplink command delay is <50ms."

"X-band, relay satellite locked."

"Raised to target orbit."

"."

At the command of the tracking and control center, various units distributed on the surface of Mars and the Neomars space station began to report the status of the modules they were responsible for, making final confirmation for the final entry of the artificial sun into orbit.

Behind the magnificent and sci-fi artificial sun are thousands of people working together, in unity and collaboration, to create the wonder of today's artificial sun.

After more than a hundred departments finished reporting one by one, all data were within the normal range and none exceeded the threshold.

"Begin the Hohmann transfer orbit."

The measurement and control center issued an instruction, which was sent to the main computer of the artificial sun through the relay satellite. The thrusters were started immediately and the real-time data was transmitted to the relevant positions and the measurement and control center without any error.

"The AP-80 ion engine has been successfully ignited, and the thrust is steadily increasing. The real-time orbit semi-major axis is decreasing, and the apogee has dropped to kilometers."

"The target orbit is 0.3 kilometers by kilometers, the eccentricity is less than , and the ascending node correction ΔΩ= degrees"

"The momentum wheel is activated, and the gyroscope is correcting the attitude. The deviation range is 0.01 degrees!"

"Confirmed to enter synchronous orbit, orbital inclination is 98.035 degrees."

"Orbit maintenance has been confirmed. For the next five months, a speed compensation of 0.02 meters per second will be implemented every ten days."

"Thermal control system temperature."

"."

When the artificial sun changes its orbit, massive amounts of data are generated every minute and every second, which are processed by the main computer into charts that humans can understand intuitively. In this way, even with the presence of intelligent programs, humans can still make decisions rather than the intelligent system deciding everything.

"Uh"

Fei Niao leaned against the ship window, tapping the wall with his fingers from time to time, and the word "bored" was almost engraved on his face. When he looked at the artificial sun, the initial excitement was no longer in his eyes, and there was no expectation in his heart, only boredom.

It’s no wonder that Fei Niao is impatient. Anyone who watches slow-motion footage for half an hour will become like this.

Yes, it's slow motion.

Putting a spacecraft into orbit, especially such a large one, is never achieved in one go.

Just like a car, it is basic for a car to go through a drainage ditch and turn, and the trick is flexibility. But for a mud truck, let alone drifting, the brakes are much slower.

Therefore, the artificial sun entering orbit, which was watched and expected by hundreds of millions of people, was basically as fast as a snail on the scale of the universe. In the bird's field of vision, the light spot was crawling little by little. It took more than 20 minutes to crawl from the edge of the ship window to the center of the ship window.

If it hadn't moved visibly to the naked eye, I would have suspected that it was broken.

"Is it so slow?" Fei Niao felt like he was almost bored to death. He thought the historic moment would be exciting, so he came to witness it. Unexpectedly,
"What do you think?" Chiba Cheng glanced at Fei Niao, who was probably full of "regret" at the moment. This guy insisted on following him at all costs. Considering that there is Trafiza on Earth and the cosmic network that can communicate anytime and anywhere, even if something unexpected happens, he can get back in time. So Chiba Cheng agreed and brought Fei Niao to Mars to witness the historic moment when mankind created a "star" for the first time.

"Ugh!"

Feiniao sighed. He had imagined loud gongs and drums, blasting firecrackers, waving red flags, and huge crowds of people. But in the end, there was nothing except this slowly moving spot of light. It was truly a waste of his enthusiasm and expectations.

Dagu saw it all and laughed in his heart. He was the same back then. Because he had never seen it, he naturally beautified those major events.

It was not until I witnessed it with my own eyes that I realized that many major events are actually dull and there is nothing so-called "grand scene" about them.

For example, the Atlantis. Before the Kurak call sign was built, it was the largest creation in human history and the first true space battleship of mankind.

Such an epoch-making product deserves a grand ceremony, live broadcast around the world, or at least some streamers and fireworks to celebrate.

But in reality, the maiden voyage of Ataldis was launched against the clock and took off in a hurry, and no one cared about the ceremony at all.

Even if there is no mechanical island, as Atlantis is a highly confidential project, its maiden voyage will not be publicized.

This can be seen from the fact that the Atlantis has been under construction at the offshore base for such a long time, but no news about it has been leaked. Even the Victory Team only learned of its existence when the Atlantis was about to start its test flight. This shows how high the confidentiality of this ship is.

Although the artificial sun is not a space battleship, its success means that humans are no longer restricted by stars and can live and inhabit any planet.

Its strategic significance is extremely important, so naturally it has to be kept highly confidential. After all, not to mention that there are always some mentally ill guys among humans who keep shouting "transforming the planet is destroying nature", there are also many aliens who can't stand humans being good and always want to cause some damage. If they knew that humans have an artificial sun, they would definitely find ways to destroy it.

The reason is simple. The artificial sun means that humans have the initial ability to move out of the solar system.

Even if technology no longer advances in the future and the fastest speed of mankind remains at 12.5% ​​of the speed of light, we can still reach Proxima Centauri by using the dumbest and simplest method, step by step, and taking ten years.

That is, use an artificial sun to pave a light path to Proxima Centauri.

The distance between the Sun and Proxima Centauri is divided into sections according to the maximum range of the spacecraft. Different numbers of artificial suns are placed at each node and a supply station is established. The spacecraft can then continue its voyage in sections until it reaches Proxima Centauri.

In this way, human development will no longer be limited by the resources of the solar system, and more resources can be obtained from other star systems for development.

But the resources of the Third Arm and even the Milky Way are limited. If you have more, they will have less. Naturally, some people do not want other civilizations to develop and compete with them for resources and space.

This situation has happened countless times in human history. The countries that developed first would try every means to block other countries and prevent them from developing. The same is true in the universe. Otherwise, there would be no "safety device" such as the mechanical island floating in the universe to detect the Max system.

Therefore, adhering to the idea of ​​'speculating about others with the greatest malice', all advanced instruments and equipment of TPC are highly confidential. Even if they are put into use, they will be kept confidential as much as possible to prevent aliens from causing sabotage.

After all, everything is difficult to build but easy to destroy.

"The artificial sun has entered orbit. Final check. It will light up in ten minutes."

The measurement and control center issued a pre-lighting inspection instruction, and the team responsible for the artificial sun, hundreds of people, began to get busy, making the final confirmation of the various parameters of the artificial sun and performing a self-inspection of each system of the artificial sun to ensure that everything was foolproof.

On the side facing the artificial sun, many people on the surface of Mars are working intensively and orderly. A large number of sensors and circuits are being checked to ensure that data can be collected and transmitted in real time as soon as the artificial sun is lit.

Although they are very confident about the artificial sun, it is still the first time to use it. Therefore, the area illuminated by the artificial sun this time is on the other side of the Mariner Valley base on Mars, just in case any accident causes damage to the Mariner Valley base.

After all, the Mariner Valley base was not easy to build and consumed a huge amount of manpower and material resources. If something went wrong, the New Territory Project would suffer a major setback and naturally could not be used for testing.

"It's about to begin."

Dagu suddenly became nervous. This was the most critical moment and also the time when problems were most likely to occur. Also, if there were aliens who wanted to cause trouble, they would also take action at this time.

It's not just Dagu who is nervous. All of Mars' defense systems, including the space station, fighter squadron, armed satellites, etc., have been activated, blocking the area where the artificial sun is located. Not even a fly can fly over.

It is both a prevention and a deterrent.

Time passed by minute by minute, but to the people present, these ten minutes seemed especially long. Finally, the countdown returned to zero, and a radio wave was sent from the ground to the artificial sun on time.

hum!
Along with the slight vibration of the artificial sun, a low roar echoed inside, and the power furnace at the small head began to operate, transmitting a large amount of energy to the big head along the connecting pipe in the middle, allowing the gray artificial sun to begin to release light like an incandescent lamp, and the brightness became stronger and stronger. It reached a dazzling level in a short while, and a bright "sun" appeared on the back of Mars at night.

"It's bright, it's bright."

People who had been waiting for several hours in the dark couldn't help but shout out loud as they watched the sky gradually brighten. Some even jumped up in ecstasy, ignoring the rapid consumption of oxygen. Their dancing showed their inner excitement.

When everyone was rejoicing, an alarm suddenly sounded at the Neomars Space Station, interrupting everyone's cheers.

"What's wrong?" Chiba Makoto immediately turned his head and looked at Stationmaster Yamazaki.

Stationmaster Yamazaki had been clicking on the ship window in front of him quickly and accurately, turning the glass into a display screen that showed real-time data.

"Deep space satellite warning: an asteroid has deviated from its original orbit and is heading towards Mars."

The simulation image clearly showed that an asteroid had deviated from its original orbit at an angle of sixty degrees and was heading straight for Mars. Such a large-angle change of orbit was something that anyone could have guessed was a problem.

"I really can't help it."

Dagu looked like he had thought of it a long time ago, and at the same time he was glad that he came. Otherwise, the artificial sun might really be destroyed by aliens.

"Prepare to launch the ultimate explosive missile!"

Stationmaster Yamazaki issued instructions according to the procedures. As early as a few years ago, after the Pluto space station under construction was attacked by space insects, elite teams were formed in various interstellar bases, and each space station was equipped with high-explosive missiles to defend against meteorites.

The Neomars Space Station is no exception. In fact, because it is located on Mars and is an important line of defense for the Earth, it is often the space station with the largest amount of ammunition.

Therefore, Stationmaster Yamazaki did not hesitate to fire three missiles in one breath, making sure that there would be no mistakes.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Three huge missiles, dragging long tails of flames, flew towards the dark universe at an extremely fast acceleration and soon became a bright spot.

"Is it just a meteorite?" Dagu asked worriedly. According to the satellite detection report, this is an asteroid with a diameter of three or four kilometers and a weight of hundreds of millions of tons. In order to change its orbit, the thrust required is extremely huge, which can never be caused naturally. It must be man-made.

The "human power" that can push such a large meteorite is definitely not an ordinary thing.

"I'm afraid it's another alien or a monster." Chiba Chengwei sighed. He couldn't even take a good look at the 'sun'. It was really a troubled time.

Thinking about it, Qianye Cheng turned around and said, "Don't move. Let's follow and take a look. Fei Niao, you go to the hangar and drive the Feiyan No. 1M to the airspace near the artificial sun and wait. Da Gu, you contact the Earth and notify me immediately if there is any situation."

"Yes!"

Everyone received the order and immediately rushed to their respective posts. Three people went to the hangar, while Da Gu went to the communication room, used the exclusive frequency band, and contacted the earth through the cosmic network to inform them of the situation here and ask about the situation on Earth.

The one who answered the phone was Megumi Iruma, who was everyone's most trusted person. She was looking at Daigu with a smile on her face. After listening to Daigu's words, she said, "The headquarters has received the news and has sent the Super Victory Team to the asteroid belt for support."

"Super Victory Team? What about the Earth?"

Dagu asked hurriedly.

Iruma Kei said confidently: "Having Trafiza is enough."

"But yesterday."

With the cosmic network, all information is real-time. The news of the destruction of the space launch site was known on Mars less than an hour after it happened.

"Oh, you mean that Gomora? We have already locked onto its location. Trafizza will be dispatched soon. There is no need to worry about the Earth for now. You should just focus on protecting the artificial sun and never let aliens and monsters destroy it."

"Yes, Captain!" Dagu subconsciously called out the previous title again.

Iruma Kei smiled and then hung up the call, while Daigu stared blankly at the communicator with his brows furrowed. He always felt something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Finally he shook his head and attributed it to his own illusion.

Captain, oh, the staff officer looks good and still very pretty, there is nothing wrong with her, right! ?
