Chapter 212 – “Epic” Rescue! (1)
China’s representative opened the folder in her hands and pulled out a stack of documents and explanatory drafts She then turned on the microphone before her, politely san her speech She went straight into the topic without wasting time on polite remarks
“Asteroid Bell is a very tricky proble, human civilization will definitely suffer a serious hit However, even thoughhave three months’ ti this probleuished International Astronomical Union’s president, Mr S aspect in diverting Bell’sobt The asteroid’s rotation speed is sial force has already reached the critical value of its current mass
“Another problem is that the asteroid’s internal structure is very loose Once it is darate If that happens, we humans will lose complete control over the asteroid, which is unacceptable
“Hence, after conducting detailed analysis, multi-faceted consideration, and research by nu plan”
After saying so, the fee of her docuital copy of it on the screen “Please look at the screen”
Immediately, everyone in the room shi+fted their attention to the main screen
“The name of this plan is—Reverse Yarkovsky”
At thehushed discussions a the private discussions everyone held, the female representative continued, “The Yarkovsky effect, si force that asteroids produce when they absorb sunlight and release heat Everyone present is a professional, so I won’t describe it in detail”
“Fellow representative, I have a question,” a blond researcher with blue eyes declared with her hand raised “Do you plan to set up solar reflectors on the asteroid, using them to convert the thery? But this method is too slow We only have three months We have insufficient time for this method to produce the necessary results”
“That’s why the plan is called Reverse Yarkovsky,” the Chinese representative said, senerated fro on the sunlight’s photons Instead, we’ll only rely on its heat
“The plan is as such: We’ll set up reflectors with a radius exceeding 50 ht on the asteroid’s axis of rotation The sunlight will then heat up the rock as jets”
Everyone in the hall halted their respective conversations at this explanation, andtheir own calculations
“The continuous ejection of gas will continuously accelerate the asteroid After the analysis and calculation of three of our teaoes well, Asteroid Bell will brush past Earth three months later The distance between the two is 190,000 kilometers”
“Only 190,000 kiloht After a ravity? Are the reference parameters correct?”
“We’ve already included it in our calculations,” the Chinese representative nodded “My assistants will send the detailed data to everyone’s terminals”
The caucasian old er and tapping his forehead, he asked, “What about enhancements? Do you have any enhancement plans?”
“Yes Please look at the screen,” the Chinese representative said as she flipped to the second page of her documents “The most adequate enhancement plan we’ve come up with is to pair the solar reflector with 130 laser transmitters Under the assumption that Bell’s structure remains stable, we’ll fire the lasers at a frequency of one-fifteenth of a second to enhance gas emissions
“There are several other conventional heating methods, but those aren’t easy to control and ration”
At the end of her speech, the fele we can push the asteroid in is forward This is the safest andtorn apart by gravity when passing by Earth, that cannot be avoided We can only hope that the plan works well and pushes the asteroid far enough”
“It’s enough!” the old or “Bell’s rotation is a huge proble able to deviate itsobt by 190,000 kilometers is already a difficult task But…”
“But what?”
“Sih Should we apply oil on the asteroid?”
“Yes Applying oil is the most important step,” the feo, we’ve already contacted Britain’s Nano Coht absorption rate of up to 99965 to paint the asteroid’s surface”
