The global meteor shower continues.

As time goes by, people have come out of their initial uneasiness and fear and are no longer afraid.

Su Zhe reacted from the shocking scene at the beginning.

The rapidly falling meteors and ear-piercing roars are just the same after seeing them too much and hearing them too much.

Looking at the countless flashing red beams in the sky, he smiled and looked down at the laptop screen.

The images displayed on the screen were switching rapidly, showing either space stations, satellites, other man-made objects in space, or the remains of asteroids hit by red beams.

During this time, the red beam emitted by the SS-defense system is aimed at two types of targets.

One type is those asteroid debris that are too large.

According to the formulated plan, only asteroid debris of a certain size can be entered in the corresponding space.

The other category targets asteroid debris that poses a threat to space stations, satellites, detectors and other man-made objects.

As long as there is a threat, no matter how big or small, it will be destroyed.

At this moment, the space solar power station is in a synchronous orbit of more than 30,000 kilometers, and the asteroid debris that threatens the sky solar power station has been destroyed in advance.

Both space stations are in the interception area of ​​​​the SS-defense system, and there are also some satellites, detectors, etc. in the interception area. As long as they are in the interception area, there is no need to change orbits at all, as long as they maintain the original orbit.

These threatening asteroid debris were destroyed early by the color beams emitted by the SS-defense system.

Compared with the interception area, satellites, detectors, etc. in the blind spot area can only rely on their own maneuverability to avoid the flying asteroid debris.

I checked the satellites and detectors in orbit through the SS-defense system and found that not many satellites and detectors were destroyed.

But this is the early stage. When the relevant satellites and detectors lose power, it will only depend on luck.

You know, the impact of this asteroid debris will last for twelve hours.

Although the intensity of the entire impact process is different, no matter how weak the intensity is, it is still stronger than past meteor showers.

While watching, Su Zhe looked at the picture of a satellite being hit by an asteroid.

He took a closer look and saw that it was a communications satellite from a communications company.

Just after watching this, the same communications satellite was hit again.

This communications company has nearly 3,000 communications satellites in orbit.

Almost all of these communication satellites are in low-Earth orbit.

Furthermore, these communication satellites are small in size and have little power, and their ability to continuously change orbits is extremely poor.

He estimated that not many of the nearly 3,000 communication satellites would be left in the end.

Just as I was thinking about it, another communication satellite like this was hit.

The communications satellite was hit head-on by an asteroid debris three centimeters in diameter.

Relatively speaking, artificial satellites in space are very fragile, and even slightly larger asteroid debris can destroy artificial satellites.

Currently, there are more than 6,000 artificial satellites in space. After this baptism of asteroid debris, it is unknown how many will be left behind.

While Su Zhe was caring about the space station, satellites, and detectors in space, his parents and grandfather were eating melon seeds and chatting.

I have become accustomed to the continuous meteor showers. ….

After a while, the uncles, aunts and uncles who lived nearby moved their stools and joined in the chat.

Su Zhe listened carefully and found that after two rounds of science popularization between him and his grandfather, these uncles, aunts and uncles talked like that.

They all know the relationship between the solar system, the earth, and the moon, and know where these meteor showers come from and how they are formed.

Minutes and seconds passed, and the time came to half past eleven at night.

The chatting uncles, aunts and uncles began to move their stools home to sleep.

Although the meteor shower is still going on, it won’t be interesting to watch for a few hours.

After Su Zhe sent his grandfather Su Daniu home, he came back to wash himself

Lying on the bed.

Go to bed early and get up early tomorrow to watch the last moments of the meteor shower.

Besides, I have to visit relatives in the next few days, and I have to go to school after the Lantern Festival.

By that time, the electron-positron collider and related experimental stations were also completed.

The next step is to conduct verification experiments on new technologies and develop...

The next day, Su Zhe was woken up by the alarm.

After a brief wash, we came to the open space in front of the door.

The time at this time was 5:50 in the morning, and the meteor shower would end in ten minutes.

At this time, Su Zhe smelled a strange smell in the air, faint.

I don’t know if it’s the remnants of an asteroid that burned up in the atmosphere.

As for whether it is true, just look at the content posted in the discussion group.

Use your mobile phone to open the discussion group and take a look.

Sure enough, the smell was really caused by the remains of the burned asteroid debris.

The strange smell is appearing all over the world.

However, relevant units have conducted air sampling in different locations and areas across the country.

The current analysis results are that these odors are harmless to the human body, but it is recommended to wear a mask when going out.

Su Zhe smelled it carefully and looked up at the sky.

The meteor shower continues, but is not as intense as it was at the beginning.

Occasionally, a red beam of light flashed.

He knew that these red beams during this period were aimed at asteroid debris that posed a threat to space stations and satellites.

As time passed, the last meteor flashed in the sky, and the time came to six o'clock in the morning.

The meteor shower is over, and the large-scale impact of the asteroid debris caused by the collision of two asteroids on the earth is over.

At this time, the sky was getting a little bright.

Su Zhe watched for a while and saw that there were no more meteors falling from the sky. While watching the speeches in the discussion group, he walked towards his room.

At this time, what is being discussed in the discussion group is that after the meteor shower, the artificial satellites in space suffered a heavy blow.

Of the more than 6,000 artificial satellites in space, only more than 800 are left.

I returned to my room and logged into the SS-Defense System using my laptop. I looked at the data and found it was pretty good.

The losses of satellites and detectors in high orbits are not too great, but the losses of satellites and detectors in low-Earth orbit are heavy.

For example, of the more than 3,000 communication satellites of that communication company, only a dozen are left, and all the others have been destroyed.

The reason why it is not bad is because of the more than 500 satellites owned by the country, only one-tenth of the satellites that are about to be retired have been destroyed. ….

The reason why these more than fifty satellites were destroyed was ultimately because they did not have much fuel left.

It ran out of fuel after multiple orbit changes and lost power and was destroyed.

As for other countries' satellites that suffered heavy losses, the reason is the same: they were destroyed after losing power.

After all, other countries' satellites are not like their own satellites. Asteroids in the interception area of ​​​​the SS-defense system are intercepted, which saves fuel to deal with the dead zone area of ​​​​the SS-defense system.

Fortunately, the two space stations in low-Earth orbit have been saved. After all, these two space stations are too important.

Su Zhe viewed some real-time images of satellites and detectors destroyed by asteroid debris.

Just as he thought, these satellites and detectors had made many maneuvers before being destroyed, and they had no fuel when they were destroyed.

While watching, the discussion group began to discuss the finishing plan.

Although most of the debris after the collision of the two asteroids rushed into the Earth's atmosphere and burned up, there are still many flying in different orbits of the Earth.

Some of these debris will fly in the earth's orbit forever, and some will hit the earth.

However, the impact time of these asteroid debris that hit the Earth is very scattered and long-lasting.

Some will take a few days, some will take dozens of days, and some will take longer.

Then there are the asteroid debris that flew into the distance after the collision of two asteroids.

Analysis of the SS-Defense System through scans from three survey telescopes.

After a collision between an asteroid with a diameter of ten kilometers and an asteroid with a diameter of 150 kilometers, two-thirds of the debris produced flew to the earth, and one-third flew elsewhere.

A third of the asteroid debris flying elsewhere will be a new threat.

These debris are likely to impact other asteroids, causing other asteroids to change their orbits.

To be honest, it’s a ripple effect.

If there is no intervention at a later stage, mankind is likely to face more disasters.

The experts in the discussion group were very efficient. It only took less than an hour to come up with relevant plans.

For asteroid debris, asteroids, and new and old space debris in the space between the moon and the Earth.

These will all be cleared.

The small ones are directly ionized, and the large ones change their orbits, either burning them in the Earth's atmosphere, or causing them to hit the moon and become part of the moon.

As for asteroid debris and threatening asteroids beyond the lunar orbit.

A similar approach will be used, but considering the distance, SS-defense systems will need to be deployed in space.

According to the original plan, the deployment target of the Xuanwu Project was a space with a radius of one million kilometers centered on the earth.

At present, this range cannot guarantee the safety of the earth.

After discussions among experts in the discussion group, the effective detection and effective interception radius of the Xuanwu Project has been increased tenfold.

A space with the earth as the center and a radius of 10 million kilometers.

After the Xuanwu Project ends, this space will be cleared.

With a depth of 10 million kilometers, there is enough response time to the threat of asteroids.

This is only the first step. When conditions are mature, SS-defense systems will be deployed throughout the solar system. ….

With the lunar orbit as the dividing line, two sets of internal and external plans are developed.

The former is passed directly, and the SS-defense system begins to prepare for execution. The latter needs to be reviewed and approved by relevant departments.

After all, the latter involves too many aspects.

But many experts, including Su Zhe.

Everyone believes that the latter plan will definitely pass.

You must know that the situation is not up to you.

After the two plans were finalized, the asteroid collision was considered over.

Next, the SS-defense system can be carried out step by step according to the plan.

Su Zhe looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

He put away his laptop and just stood up when his younger sister Su Meiyun pulled his cousin Yang Weiwei into the room.

"Brother! My sister-in-law and uncle are here. Mom asked me to ask you to have breakfast."

Su Zhe bent down and picked up his little sister, and said to Yang Weiwei with a smile: "You have dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep last night?"

Yang Weiwei nodded and said, "I watched the meteor shower all night."

Su Zhe smiled, hugged his little sister and left the room with Yang Weiwei.

I greeted my grandfather, father, and uncle who were sitting in the main room, and also greeted my mother and sister-in-law who were preparing meals.

He carried his little sister and Yang Weiwei to the open space in front of the gate.

At this time, the sun has risen very high.

However, the sky was a bit gray, and there was a faint weird smell.

"Cousin! I still can't believe that the Xuanwu defense system has such capabilities, but the result..." Yang Weiwei sighed.

At the beginning of yesterday, he was frightened by two meteor showers in the Americas and Europe.

The comment section is filled with comments of fear and worry.

When he saw a real meteor shower, he was frightened.

The dense meteor shower and the harsh roar made him breathless.

He always felt that the end of the world was coming.

But reason told him that these meteors would not pose a threat to people on the surface.

The red beam shattered all the large asteroid debris.

"The results are in front of us. We escaped this disaster." Su Zhe said with a smile, "But we also paid a price. There are only more than 800 satellites left in the space out of more than 6,000, and all the others have been destroyed. The asteroid wreckage destroyed it."

"This..." Yang Weiwei's expression was a little solemn, "What about our space station?"

He knew that the astronauts on the International Space Station and the National Space Station were back.

But the space station is much more important than those satellites.

"Don't worry, not only our space station, but also the International Space Station is in good condition." Su Zhe said with a smile, "Compared to other countries' satellites, we are pretty good, only..."

When Yang Weiwei heard about the damage to satellites in various countries, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he said: "It's good that our losses are not big, but other countries are in dire straits, especially that communication company, which has more than 3,000 communication satellites! Now! There are only a dozen left.”

"There's nothing we can do about it!" Su Zhe smiled, "Why do they refuse to pay the relevant fees?"

Reluctant to spend money, this is the result.

From what he saw, if he was willing to spend money, most of the damaged satellites could be preserved.

It is estimated that the other party thinks that we ask for too much, and it is better to re-issue new satellites.

"There is no free lunch!" Yang Weiwei smiled, "By the way! How to deal with it in the later stage? It is impossible for all the asteroid debris to fall down. If those asteroid debris cause a chain reaction again, then..."

"We have considered it, later..." Su Zhe picked up some things he could say.

Yang Weiwei nodded repeatedly and asked, "Cousin! Are you involved in the Xuanwu defense system?"

Su Zhe smiled and said, "I participated. I can't tell you the details now. You will know all this when you are admitted to university and participate in related projects."

"Yes! I understand!" Yang Weiwei nodded, "I will study hard, I will apply for Lingzhou University of Technology, and I will enter the Jiutian Research Center."

In the past six months, he and his classmates, to be precise, all his classmates at the school, have been at Lingzhou University of Technology.

Everyone takes Lingzhou University of Science and Technology as their goal.

"Okay! I'll wait for you!" Su Zhe smiled.

"Brother! I also want to take the college entrance examination!" Su Meiyun shouted.

"Okay! My little sister is also going to college!"
