Chapter 508 Facing the Dilemma of Mars-Insect Swarm

Mars, the second closest planet to the Earth, has a thick atmosphere compared to Venus. Due to the cooling of the earth's core and the disappearance of the planet's magnetic field, Mars' surface atmosphere has been largely stripped away by the solar wind.

Because there are traces of life on the Martian meteorites obtained, Mars should have had a thick atmosphere in the past, but now it has become a desolate planet.

Compared with the Earth, the atmospheric concentration is one percent, and due to the lack of magnetic field and atmospheric protection, it is directly attacked by solar wind and cosmic rays. It can be said that the difficulty of survival on Mars today is absolutely hellish.

If there is still life on Mars today, there is a high probability that it must also exist underground.

Compared with the superposition of negative BUFFs such as dryness, radiation, storms, and a thin atmosphere on Mars, the deserts and seafloor on Earth can be said to be paradise-like environments.

The difficulty of terraforming is much simpler than that of terraforming Mars.

However, if there are enough silver mines on Mars, it would be logical to complete the mining and build a pioneer base.

And now, this egg sheath of the Zerg has also fallen on Mars...

…

In the dark and cold space, 'Starship II' has stopped the process of chemical acceleration. At this time, it has also turned on its solar panels, occasionally adjusted its direction and started decelerating with the help of the Hall thruster, and its size has also shrunk.

A lot.

Because of the use of high-power propulsion such as rocket engines in space, and the smaller mass after discarding several segments, the speed of 'Starship II' at this time actually exceeded that of the huge 'Starship I'!

Relying on the connection with the ground control room, the deceleration process has also been entered at this time.

In the ground control room of SX Space Exploration Company, all staff are highly focused on monitoring various data at this time.

Positioning in space is also quite cumbersome, especially if there are not enough satellite positioning at this location, it is even more difficult to determine.

But fortunately, NASA also has satellites on Mars, and with more controls, it is still completely under control.

"BOSS, our original design was to land and drill into the asteroid. Currently, based on the gravity of Mars, we have no problem getting the starship into Mars orbit, but it is almost impossible to achieve precise bomb delivery."

The researchers who were recording various parameters of the starship and making predictions also gave back some regrettable news.

Preparing to land on an asteroid was completely different from landing on Mars now!

Intercontinental ballistic missiles are important weapons for all countries. Even if there is no satellite positioning, they can physically complete the 'positioning' of a general range by relying on gyroscopes.

Because strategic nuclear weapons are used for the strike, although the error will not be small, it is completely sufficient.

Many cruise missiles will also use this physical guidance method in the mid-course to reduce the possibility of being detected.

But the reason why gyroscopes are successful is because humans already have a good understanding of various parameters of the earth. Using the principle of gyroscopes, ballistic missiles can be regarded as knowing the corresponding physical parameters and hitting the ground in one direction.

After all, most strategic bombing targets are immobile cities, so just ensure that direction.

It is so difficult to achieve this kind of accuracy on Earth, and it is undoubtedly even more difficult to control various parameters of Mars at present.

What's more, when it was first launched, it never expected that it would ultimately choose to bomb Mars, and the equipment and design plans it carried were not prepared for this aspect, which would lead to disastrous accuracy.

Mars' gravity alone can cause enough tearing and destruction.

Fortunately, the European Space Agency's satellite captured the picture of the asteroid falling. It can be roughly determined that it is in a general area on Mars. By comparing the photos continuously sent back by several existing Mars satellites, the direction can be roughly determined.

Otherwise, it can really be said that you are looking for a needle in a haystack.

"You have to try even if you are not precise. The error is acceptable for a one-megaton nuclear bomb, but don't we also carry a probe? Can the probe complete the landing on Mars?"

Because it can be launched into space, Starship II is prepared to carry a lot of things.

There are unmanned detectors, nuclear bomb earth drills and so on.

And there are three detectors alone, and there are even moving mechanical legs that take into account the arrival of the asteroid, and the cushioning air cushion when hitting the asteroid at high speed.

"Indeed, there is, but the situation on Mars was not taken into consideration at the beginning. Although the protection was large enough considering the speed of the impact, it was not certain that it would be able to land safely, and the landing position would be quite deviated due to the influence of Mars' gravity."

The researcher sighed. After all, it was not a specialized Mars exploration equipment.

"It doesn't matter if there are deviations. We can just go down and make samples and find a position. They all carry detectors, so the situation should be similar. As long as the number of detectors increases, relying on Umbrella's data link sharing technology, it can also be used for our subsequent bomb drops.

Increase the level of precision.”

Masra didn't care about the success or failure of the detector, he just wanted to achieve his goal!

"Let's contact each other and see what Umbrella plans to do..."

But this time, he still knew who the big brother was.

The rest combined are less than the size of Umbrella's spaceship.

Although their side seems to be faster in terms of speed, in fact, it is just their mass that accelerates slower.

And compared to their one-time chemical combustion, the more it burns, the smaller the mass. Their thrusters use plasma thrusters similar to Hall thrusters, and are assisted by solar sails, which are completely different in efficiency.

of.

There is an obvious technical generation difference!

To put it bluntly, I am still thinking like a rocket before, but others are really thinking about the stars!

It's not that he doesn't know the benefits of these structures, it's that Umbrella has already made corresponding plans based on its own technology, and he has to make temporary adjustments.

…

"Our company also agrees with SX Company's suggestion. The enemy this time is very troublesome. Those who arrive in orbit first can try to drop the bomb first without waiting for us."

Umbrella publicly responded and made some arrangements.

The first ones to arrive can release detectors!

No matter what, let the detectors land first, and then complete the sharing of signals with each other. With Umbrella's satellite data connection technology, the connection between the detectors and each spacecraft can be directly completed.

In this way, with the detector as positioning, the subsequent bombing can be more accurate.

"Our company's spacecraft has an intra-atmospheric operational vehicle. However, because the Martian atmosphere is too thin, the vehicle cannot survive for too long just relying on jets. We can arrange for the robot to land and inspect after the attack is completed..."

However, following Umbrella's response, some of the previous twists and turns due to information leakage also occurred again, and some self-financed Saints of the White Zuo began to leave messages asking for help.

He said that since the visitor was not an abyssal creature, it was okay to communicate first.

This kind of spontaneous behavior of the Holy Mother opening her mouth actually seems a bit funny...

Chapter 722

"No! Creatures like the Holy Mother really deserve to die!"

"It's so urgent. Are you still talking about whether to bomb or not? If the bombing fails for the first time, it will become more and more troublesome in the future. This can be regarded as our strongest weapon."

"But one thing to say, although I don't support Our Lady, I support that if there is a chance to talk, we can talk first, because if you directly show hostility, not all problems will become problems."

"How to talk? How to gain trust? This is the law of the dark forest..."

"So blowing it up is the safest move."

"Umbrella, stick to your heart, we will help you scold them..."

"..."

When a few Holy Mothers stood up to appeal, fortunately most people were still normal.

Moreover, in Umbrella's style, she didn't care about these moral kidnappings and just responded casually on the official website.

"We are now preparing to build the second batch of detectors. Those who want to have contact and communicate with them can sign up now. We can give you a ride, and you can try to influence them with love."

As soon as these words came out, those calls were reduced by more than half.

What?

Do you want us to talk about it ourselves?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

It must be up to you to talk about it, we are only responsible for making appeals.

However, Umbrella's words made many people on Old Morgan's side shine brightly.

"We seem to be able to make some arrangements."

"Yes, we can use those experimental subjects possessed by monsters to see and implant chips in their bodies."

"But Umbrella will check it out."

"They said nothing about mechanical inspections, and it would be too humiliating to conduct such inspections on people."

"So what if I'm humiliated?"

Hearing this rhetorical question, they were immediately silenced. Yes, what if they humiliate you now?

The mecha knocking on the door has happened before, and there is nothing we can do about it.

"No matter what, we can try! If this Zerg is really what Lord Enzo said, it can be used!"

"Let's see if they can withstand the first wave of nuclear explosions first..."

"Actually, we all know that as long as they dig underground, the first wave of nuclear explosions will not pose a great threat to them. What we are fighting now is just an information gap."

Various nuclear defense fortifications are not just decorations. The direct damage range of nuclear bombs to underground targets is really quite limited. The previous hydrogen bomb with a yield of 500,000 tons in New York fully illustrates this point.

If you hide in a subway station fifty meters underground, the nearest survivor will be five hundred meters away from the explosion.
