I Have a Little Black Hole

Chapter 1228 If you want to be awesome, then you should give money!

Seeing that other people's astronomical observation equipment is so advanced and the number is very powerful, it is impossible to say that he is not envious, jealous, and hateful, so he does not want to increase the number of detectors for his department all the time.

The government has allocated more than 120 billion US dollars to the NASA side this year alone. Is this amount of money not enough to launch some probes? the speaker questioned.

Hearing him ask this question, the head of the space agency quickly stood up and said: Mr. Speaker, let me answer this question! Although the government's funding seems to be a lot, not all the money is given to our space agency. On this side, some other aerospace companies have shared more than 40 billion US dollars.

The rest of the money we have to invest in too many projects. The research project of a spacecraft alone has invested 45.5 billion US dollars this year, and this investment will continue to rise.

In addition, a large number of other research projects require a lot of financial support, so we are very cautious in the use of each fund, and are allocated according to the urgency.

Before this asteroid impact crisis, funding for NEO projects was not the most urgent, so we had to rely on our existing detectors for early warning.

And if we want to increase the number of related detectors to the same level as the Infinite Gravity Group, it may cost at least $600 billion, a price we cannot afford!

Because we not only need a lot of money for this project, whether it is a spacecraft project or a colonization project on the moon and Mars, all need astronomical amounts of money. I don’t think the government is willing to pay this money, right?

In fact, we have calculated that our detector will be able to find the asteroid named 202203EV07 about 72 hours after its orbital change.

It's so clear that you don't understand it. Isn't that a fool? If you don't have money, you talk ass, when we don't want to be so arrogant? If you want to be arrogant, then you should give money!

Every day, I know that we are not as good as the infinite gravitational group, and they are not as good as theirs. When these people don't want to surpass the infinite gravitational group, right?

Every time he asks for funds, he struggles so hard. If it weren't for the fact that this guy could affect their department's funding, he wouldn't even say the last sentence that was barely a step.

Cough...! I don't remember that a lot of meteorites hit the earth every year, and most of them are not at all threatening, why is this asteroid so dangerous to us? This guy simply said Just changed the subject.

Asking for money is definitely not something that can be discussed now. There are too many interests involved in this large amount of money. If you can get money from them if you cry poor, you will not take them seriously. So of course he just ignores the topic.

Even that step was ignored by him. If he could sit in this position, if he didn't even have the means to change the subject, he would have been ousted from the stage.

Seeing that his boss turned his attention to himself, George Rexxar immediately nodded and took over this embarrassing batch of questions, because this question really lacked any common sense.

It's like this, in space, there are a large number of small celestial bodies orbiting the sun, the diameter of these small celestial bodies is as large as tens of kilometers, hundreds of kilometers, as small as tens of centimeters, several centimeters, or even smaller. Like pebbles, sand and dust particle size.

Generally, we call these guys asteroids. The concept of meteorites is the name of these asteroids after they enter the earth. It does not mean that all asteroids can be called meteorites.

When these asteroids enter the atmosphere, the process of rubbing with the atmosphere to emit light and heat is called a meteor. When the meteor enters the atmosphere, the high temperature and high pressure and its internal imbalance will cause the meteor to explode. Form meteorite showers.

And the unburned meteors fall to the earth and become meteorites.

Our planet does receive tens of thousands of such 'gifts' every year. However, most of them burn up 10 to 40 miles above the ground, and are hard to find even if they fall on the ground.

Meteorites falling on the surface of the earth have actually happened many times, but the lethality of meteorites with relatively small masses is still limited, and the lethality of meteorites hitting the earth is very simple and direct, that is, they hit the surface of the earth directly.

The earth receives countless meteorites entering every day, why is it okay? First of all, because the earth is covered with a thick layer of atmosphere, the meteorite rubs with the atmosphere when it passes through the atmosphere, and it burns up before it hits the ground.

In this case, those who are lucky to see this scene will also be watching the scenery. Even if there are very few large meteorites that do not burn up when they pass through the atmosphere, considering the large surface area of ​​the earth, it is unlikely that the meteorites falling on the ground may cause extensive damage.

And when it comes to why we are so nervous about the asteroid named 202203EV07, it is mainly because its size and mass are large enough, and what makes it more powerful is its composition.

Meteorites in our understanding mainly refer to the remnants of meteorites that fall to the ground. They are basically composed of minerals such as iron, nickel, and silicate, also known as meteorites.

Meteorites are traditionally divided into three categories: First, stony meteorites are rocks whose main components are silicate minerals.

The second is iron meteorites, which are mostly iron-nickel.

The third type is the stony-iron meteorite, which contains a large amount of metal and rock components, that is to say, most of them are mixtures, and the metal is pasted together by the rock.

And this asteroid named 202203EV07 is the third type. Its constituent material contains a lot of metals, so it is not only very heavy, but also very stable in structure.

Even if the friction after entering the atmosphere is particularly severe because of its extremely fast flight speed, it will not collapse in the impact of the intense friction through the atmosphere.

This will cause that if it hits directly, the impact will be particularly powerful. This is the video of the impact we simulated. I believe you will know why we are discussing how to solve this crisis after watching it. !

In fact, this video has been played 7 times this time, but even if someone in the conference room has watched it several times, when they see the catastrophic consequences calculated by this simulation again, their faces can't help it. It will become very ugly.
