"Finally, the ideal effect has been achieved. If nothing goes wrong, only nine of these space kinetic energy weapons are needed to impact Pluto and force it to change its flight path."

Binjiang City.

Longhu High-tech Park.

In a certain room in the headquarters building, Xu Lei looked at the three-dimensional virtual model in front of him with great satisfaction and sighed in a low voice.

The words are full of praise for this model.

During this week, Xu Lei spent most of his time optimizing the model of kinetic energy weapons except for eating and resting.

It can be said that a lot of effort was put into it.

Even the research institute has been temporarily handed over to Li Chengzhe.

As for the company's business needs to connect with the world for complex matters, it relies on Chen Shihe and Xingtong.

All in all everything was very stable and nothing happened that Xu Lei needed to worry about.

Because of this, Xu Lei was able to calm down and optimize space kinetic energy weapons.

After all, he has just proposed a three-step plan to deal with the Pluto disaster at the Human Security Alliance. Now is the important stage of implementation. As a congressman, he should always be in the public eye.

Only in this way can the public always maintain confidence and be willing to make their own efforts to complete these world-class projects.

That is to say, there are enough talents of all kinds in Future Technology, so even if Xu Lei does not come forward, the situation can still be maintained stable.

At least Xu Lei is very relieved about this.

Otherwise, even if he stays in the room optimizing the kinetic weapons, he can still give instructions to Xing Tong at any time.

You must know that with Xingtong around, no matter what happens in the outside world, nothing can escape his eyes.

When you cast your sight on the virtual model, you can see that this is a very simple structure of a space kinetic energy weapon.

Yes.

Very simple.

If compared with the Shenzhou star battleship, then this space kinetic energy weapon can be regarded as a child's toy at best.

In addition to a metal body with a very large mass, the most conspicuous thing is the nuclear fusion engine thruster that provides power.

Other than that, there are no core components.

In fact, the concept of space kinetic energy weapons was indeed relatively complicated in the first version, with various components included, and it was almost based on the specifications of a star battleship.

Because taking the Shenzhou as an example, if it were used to hit Pluto at full power, it would have the same effect as a kinetic energy weapon.

It's just that the cost is a little higher.

But in the past few days of painstaking research, Xu Lei figured out the key and felt a sudden understanding.

The so-called kinetic energy weapons are like big trucks speeding towards you.

Mainly highlight one conflicting character.

The most important thing is that the main body is strong enough and the power of the device's propeller is strong.

As long as these two points can be met, space kinetic energy weapons will certainly be able to demonstrate powerful power.

With this new concept, Xu Lei simply overturned the previous modeling and finally used a hard metal material as the main body of the weapon, and also ensured that it had a large enough mass.

Coupled with the use of nuclear fusion power engines on star battleships as propellers for kinetic energy weapons, the combination of powerful forces is simply even more powerful.

Of course, the final simulation test results also made him very satisfied.

It is enough to be applied to the impact mission of Pluto.

Besides, Pluto's flight orbit is fixed, and at most it accelerates under the influence of the planet's gravity, which is different from missiles attacking moving targets.

As long as the distance and speed of the two sides are calculated and the space kinetic energy weapons are launched in advance, the two sides will eventually meet near the orbit of Jupiter.

There is no need for too many messy devices at all.

By virtue of its own flight speed, Pluto may be able to escape the gravity of Jupiter and avoid the fate of becoming a satellite of Jupiter. However, as long as its orbit and speed change due to an impact, it will be easily captured by Jupiter.

By then, the latter two solutions will not need to be used to solve this crisis of human civilization.

Crucially, the simpler the device, the faster it can be made.

This can ensure that sufficient space kinetic energy weapons can be produced within the next limited period of time.

However, this space kinetic energy weapon also has a big shortcoming.

That is, the mass of its metal body is too great, exceeding the load-bearing range of the space elevator car.

Originally, the manufacturing of space kinetic energy weapons should be similar to that of interstellar battleships. After the components are completed on the Earth, they are transported to the near-Earth space port through space elevators for splicing and assembly.

But since it exceeds the carrying capacity of the space elevator and cannot be transported by traditional methods, there is only one way left to choose.

That is to move the manufacturing plant to space.

In fact, after the success of the Shenzhou, Xu Lei has decided to carry out a new round of expansion and transformation of the near-Earth space port to give it the capabilities of a shipyard.

Thereby further improving the manufacturing efficiency of warships.

Let human civilization have a battleship fleet as soon as possible and have absolute power in the solar system.

But at the moment, space kinetic energy weapons are obviously more important, so this can only temporarily delay the manufacture of star battleships, and first use the near-Earth space port that is being renovated and expanded to complete the space kinetic energy weapons.

Anyway, the structure of the final version of the space kinetic energy weapon that has been optimized many times is relatively simple. If we go all out to manufacture nine units, it will be relatively easy.

What's more, the world's power is now concentrated together.

At this time, Xu Lei's mind was running rapidly, and he went through the various thoughts that flashed through his brain, and then prepared to go to the research institute to inform him about the situation of space kinetic energy weapons.

This way, we can start manufacturing as soon as possible.

"Xingpu."

"Name this model Taishan Space Kinetic Energy Weapon, save it and upload it to the research institute."

"Open viewing rights for scientific researchers."

"Also, let Cheng Fei prepare the car. I'm going to the research institute."

After finally giving such an order, without waiting for Xingtong to respond, he simply changed his clothes and walked outside.

In the three-step plan to deal with the crisis on Pluto, Xu Lei has too many things to be responsible for.

For projects like manufacturing space kinetic energy weapons, he would definitely not personally participate in it. Uploading the relevant models to the research institute would be nothing to the researchers if they relied on Xingtong's explanations to master them.

After all, it is a very simple structure.

However, since space kinetic energy weapons need to be built in space, they can only be controlled by scientists and space robots can complete the main processes.

It is worth mentioning that when it comes to naming Mount Tai, Xu Lei hopes that it can exert its overwhelming advantage and strive to defeat Pluto like Mount Tai.

For Xu Lei, the planetary defense orbital gun and underground dormant base are the most important plans.

Because the collision between the space kinetic energy weapon and Pluto was completed near the orbit of Jupiter, at that time humans still had at least a year and a half of buffer time.

Even if the final impact is unsuccessful and Jupiter fails to successfully capture Pluto, humans will still have the opportunity to make new plans, so that everything will not be lost.

But not planetary defense railguns and underground sleep bases.

If the planetary defense heavy rail gun cannot completely destroy or shatter Pluto, then once it collides with the Earth, it will be a devastating blow to mankind.

And there is no way to save the situation.

At that time, if the impact is too violent, the underground dormant base may be affected, and human civilization will lose the last spark.

Although these three-step plans are currently being implemented all over the world, suitable locations have been selected to excavate and build underground bases, but such bases do not yet have the dormant function.

We still need to wait for future technology to produce a sufficient number of dormant capsules and transport them to various bases.

Because of this, based on the current total human population, if we want to ensure that all people can sleep, at least 8 billion biological hibernation chambers need to be created.

Although the influence this will bring will be amazing, Xu Lei knows very well that this is simply impossible to achieve.

All he can do is lead the company to produce as many hibernating capsules as possible in the remaining eight years.

As for the rest, they can only hope that Taishan space kinetic energy weapons and planetary defense orbital guns can play a role.

This makes the underground dormant base unnecessary.

Xu Lei's positioning of the underground dormant base is to preserve the last fire of human civilization. Naturally, it is impossible to give everyone hope of survival.

…

With Xingtong's notification arrangement, Cheng Fei acted very quickly.

Almost as soon as Xu Lei came out of the headquarters building, the prepared car parked in front of him.

"Mr. Xu."

"Go to Ping County." Xu Lei said casually when he heard Cheng Fei's greeting.

As soon as he finished speaking, he got into the back seat of the car.

Perhaps the crisis on Pluto put a lot of pressure on Xu Lei. In addition, he had not been out in the past few days, which made him almost speechless after starting the car.

I remember when Cheng Fei first entered the future technology, the two of them would communicate like friends on this occasion, which was very relaxed and comfortable.

But now the sun has changed and the stars have changed.

Although Xu Lei and Cheng Fei have not changed, Pluto is like a big mountain pressing on everyone's heart. No matter how confident they are in future technology, they still cannot be happy.

After all, this influence is subtle.
