Chapter 714 No country can do it!
It is almost certain that the asteroid YR4 will fall into the mainland of the United States. NASA naturally cannot sit idly by and let it crash into the United States unimpeded.
Putting aside other things, this asteroid from outer space is equivalent to a missile launched by another country at the mainland of America.
If the United States can accurately and easily hit and shoot it down, it will undoubtedly demonstrate their military strength.
Of course.
It would be better if the asteroid could be recovered intact like a rocket.
Professor Slick glanced at Allison, coughed lightly, and said.
"I think that directly mobilizing the military and launching missiles to hit and destroy the asteroid will not only eliminate the crisis it brings as quickly as possible, but will also demonstrate the United States' cutting-edge precision guidance technology."
"In recent years, the field of precision guidance seems to have been overshadowed by Longguo, and our presence has become much weaker."
"Why not take this opportunity to revive the prestige of the Eagle Country's long-range precision guided missiles!"
Regarding the asteroid YR4, not only the radio astronomy observatory is paying close attention to it, but NASA is also conducting a follow-up investigation.
The sudden deviation of its trajectory did surprise Slick.
Because of this phenomenon, it has never appeared in the meteorites, asteroids, or even space debris they have observed before.
but……
It was just a surprise.
Space is mysterious and there are many places and areas that they have not yet explored.
It is reasonable to discover something unusual.
not to mention.
The trajectory of an asteroid's fall is shifted, and the factors that cause this are even more bizarre.
What they need to do is to eliminate the crisis brought by these extraterrestrial objects outside the atmosphere so that they cannot threaten the blue planet, as well as important facilities and citizens in their own country.
Director Lawn nodded slightly, looked at Allison, and raised his head.
"What about Dean Allison's advice?"
Allison also didn't look at Slick directly.
Although Slick is the main person in charge of NASA's anti-satellite weapons research team, he holds a high position in NASA and is highly respected.
But if you really count the two sides, they are on the same level.
not to mention.
He is the head of the radio astronomy observatory. If he goes to the Black Palace for a meeting, his position will only be higher than Slick.
There is absolutely no need to act according to Slick's expression.
Allison replied.
"I also suggest using precision-guided missiles to shoot down and destroy the YR4 asteroid to prevent it from causing unpredictable crises to the mainland of the United States after it falls."
Hear this.
Slick, who was sitting next to him with his legs crossed, tutted with disdain.
Allison didn't care and continued.
"However, apart from this, if NASA and the military have the ability, I hope they can intercept this asteroid, or use other means to 'hijack' it."
"After all, this is a relatively intact asteroid, and it was affected by many factors during its fall."
"If we can get this asteroid, or some of the soil and materials on it, it will be very important for our subsequent research on space and the observation of some life forms in space!"
Radio astronomy observatories do not have such capabilities.
But he felt.
The military and NASA have received so much financial support from the Black House in recent years. Logically, they should have made some progress in this area, right?
Never thought.
As soon as he finished speaking, Slick refuted loudly.
"Dean Allison, what are you talking about?"
"Intercept and hijack the YR4 asteroid?"
"Do you think this is something we can do? Is this something that is achievable with the current level of technology?"
"That is an alien object. It has fallen from a distance of many light years to the Blue Planet. Do you know how much potential energy it carries?"
"Not to mention that the United States cannot do it, no country on the Blue Planet can use existing technology to intercept and hijack an asteroid falling from space!"
I used to think that the only people who were not good-for-nothings were the researchers at the radio astronomy observatory.
He now realized that even the top leader was like this.
No wonder the radio astronomy observatory has made no achievements in recent years and has not produced any valuable results in the exploration and observation of space.
'It's a waste of hundreds of millions of NASA research funds! '
Slick was feeling unhappy and complaining in his heart.
Especially the last wave of funding.
If all the funds were given to the anti-satellite research and development team, they would have been able to develop more powerful anti-satellite weapons earlier and would not have been so embarrassed by Longguo's satellite weapons.
Director Lawn also said bitterly.
"Professor Allison, the military and NASA are currently unable to implement your suggestion."
"An asteroid falling from space is not like a missile launched by another country. Although it will not explode, the impact it brings is too strong."
"Ordinary materials cannot withstand not only its impact, but also its weight."
"Most importantly, even if we have such equipment, we cannot accurately lock its position and intercept and hijack it."
Seeing that Allison just frowned and didn't say anything, Lawn didn't say much on this topic and decided directly.
"Okay, since you all suggest destroying this asteroid, NASA will work with the military to deploy a missile force in Arizona to destroy the YR4 asteroid."
"Professor Allison, this task will be handed over to the Radio Astronomy Observatory."
Allison complied.
"Yes!"
He was about to get up and leave when Slick suddenly spoke.
"This is a heavy task, with many procedures and a huge cost."
"Since NASA and the military helped the radio astronomy observatory resolve the crisis, the corresponding expenses should also be borne by the radio astronomy observatory!"
"Professor Allison, isn't that right?"
He looked at Allison with a half-smile, completely ignoring the other's angry look.
Laun did not say anything, but silently lowered his head and looked at the document that he had already read once.
half an hour.
Allison let out a sigh of relief and snorted.
"nature!"
"The radio observatory can still afford this little expense!"
After saying that, he looked at Slick with cold eyes and turned away.
After Allison left, Lawn looked up and sighed.
"Professor Slick, why do you have to do this?"
"You are all talents of the United States, and you are also the main leaders of your respective fields and departments. You should coexist peacefully and help each other."
Slick shook his head.
"Director Lawn, I didn't do this on purpose, but the radio observatory is really useless."
"Have they done anything in these years that would satisfy Heimiya?"
"no!"
"Not only that, but it also adds to the trouble from time to time."
"Just like this time, Allison actually said that the trajectory of the YR4 asteroid was deviated and that there was interference from extraterrestrial life forms. He also said that there were life forms on this asteroid?"
"It's ridiculous!"
"Director Lawn, the United States is now in deficit. I suggest reducing costs and increasing efficiency by reducing the number of researchers at the radio astronomy observatory."
"Or, just close down the radio observatory!!!"
