Chapter 713 Extraterritorial Lifeforms? Just Open Your Mouth!
United States, NASA.
"Dean Allison, you're saying that the asteroid YR4's trajectory changed dramatically within a week."
"It was supposed to hit the Dragon Country area, but now it is very likely to fall into the inland of Eagle Country?"
Director Lawn put down the application Allison handed over, pushed up his glasses, and asked.
He had known for a long time that the YR4 asteroid would hit the Blue Planet.
NASA has also been paying close attention to this matter.
But as far as he knew, although the probability of YR4 colliding with the Blue Planet was increasing during this period, it was far less likely than Allison said.
Could it be that he was taking this opportunity to apply for funding for the radio observatory?
Allison had expected Lawn to ask this, and he held out his hand.
"Director Lawn, please take a look below. It contains detailed records of our observation data during this period."
"Although the data is very strange and abnormal, we have indeed found that the probability of the Yr4 asteroid hitting the blue planet has increased to about 70%, and is still rising steadily."
"At the same time, we suddenly observed one night some time ago that its falling trajectory had seriously deviated."
"It was supposed to hit Dragon Nation, but overnight, it came towards us!"
Although he was very reluctant to talk to this stingy director, there was no other way. The radio observatory was not capable of resolving this asteroid fall crisis on its own.
If YR4 really falls into Arizona, the destruction of the radio observatory is not a big deal, but I am afraid that the residents living in this state will also be implicated.
Lawen frowned and lowered his head to continue reading.
indeed.
As Allison said, at the end of the application report, the radio observatory recorded in detail the fall trajectory of the YR4 asteroid and the approximate direction of the fall.
"In less than ten hours, the direction has changed by almost ninety degrees?"
Seeing this data, Laun was surprised.
This is even greater than the angle at which NASA adjusts the rocket's ascending direction when launching a rocket.
"Did the radio observatory record any remote video footage of the major changes in YR4's direction?"
Allison shook her head.
"no!"
"And our equipment is not enough to support such long-distance recording."
"unless……"
Laun stared at him, frowning.
Allison spoke quickly.
"Unless you ask the International Space Station or the Dragon Country's Space Station and look at the video footage they recorded at that location!"
Because the space station is at a high altitude and is flying around the blue planet all the time, it is very likely to be able to take some pictures of this asteroid.
Lawen called the person in charge of the International Space Station directly and relayed his request.
Then he said again.
"From your data report, the sudden change in the trajectory of Yr4 is more likely due to the influence of another force."
"Otherwise, no matter how strange this asteroid is, it is impossible for it to suddenly change its trajectory on its own in airless space!"
Although the radio observatory is somewhat unpopular, the asteroid now has the possibility of falling into the mainland of the United States, so he cannot help but take it seriously.
Allison nodded.
"The radio observatory also speculated the same thing. We have also observed other asteroids or meteorites falling in the past, and their trajectories have never shown such strange deviations."
"So, we are more inclined to believe that some force forcibly changed the trajectory of this asteroid."
After closing the application report for the radio observatory, Lawen crossed his hands, placed them on the table, and asked.
"What do you think, Dean Allison?"
He has always disliked dealing with NASA, but now he comes in person. One reason is that the asteroid issue cannot be resolved by the radio observatory.
Furthermore, he speculated that Allison had made other discoveries.
"I can't say I have a brilliant opinion, but I have a few humble ones."
"Allison, just as you said, solving the asteroid crisis is our common goal."
Allison no longer hides it.
"In response to the strange falling trajectory of the YR4 asteroid, the radio observatory conducted in-depth discussions and came to the following conclusions."
"First, a cosmic storm occurred in deep space, affecting the falling trajectory of YR4."
"Secondly, there are extraterritorial life forms that interfere with YR4, forcing it to change its trajectory."
"Another possibility is that the YR4 asteroid is originally an asteroid with life, and it is choosing its target location to fall on its own!"
"Of course, we have an unreliable guess..."
Laun looked at him with slight dissatisfaction.
"Dean Allison, just say what you want to say. Don't hold back and keep us in suspense."
Allison said hurriedly.
"Because a week ago, we observed that the final impact position of Yr4 would be in Longguo, but then a huge change occurred overnight."
"So, we speculate, could it be that the Dragon Country used some means to change the trajectory of YR4's fall?"
After hearing his unreliable guess, Allison was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
"Enter!"
The door opens.
Professor Slick walked in from outside. He first greeted Lawn, then snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
"Dean Allison, your guess is really unreliable."
"If the Dragon Nation has the means to change the trajectory of asteroids, they would have occupied space and built a military base on the moon long ago."
"Yr4's fall towards the United States is nothing more than a normal change in trajectory and a sudden change in direction caused by the different material properties of the asteroid itself."
"What we need to consider is how to destroy it and prevent it from harming the United States, rather than wasting time and energy on such unfounded speculation."
He handed the report and the data transmitted from the space station to Laun with both hands.
Then he sat down next to Allison, crossed his legs, and didn't even look at him.
Lawn knew about the conflict between the two, glanced at each other, and then focused on Slick's report.
Slick said in passing.
"The space station replied that they had captured some information about the asteroid. From their position, they saw that the asteroid had no external interference from beginning to end."
"But they also noticed that the asteroid's direction was constantly changing as it fell, and its volume was shrinking rapidly, especially on one side, where it collapsed faster than in other directions."
"So, I guess it must be because the different parts of the asteroid have different weights, which causes the direction to change all the time during its fall."
"By the time the radio observatory discovered it again, the asteroid had already changed its position for a long time."
"As for the so-called interference from extraterritorial life forms, or the existence of life forms on asteroids, or the intervention of the Dragon Nation, these unrealistic speculations are simply nonsense!"
After Slick finished speaking, Lawn had almost finished reading the report in his hand.
Compared with Allison's previous report, the one handed over by Slick was obviously more convincing.
He looked at Allison deeply and asked the two of them.
"What suggestions do you have for destroying this asteroid?"
