Chapter 2344: The Decisions of the Astronauts

"What's going on here?" This scene made the people who had just surged with hope panic again. Some people couldn't stand the excitement and went crazy, crying and laughing in the crowd, then rushed out of the supply station, took off their helmets, and instantly It was frozen into an ice sculpture.

"The influence of Jupiter's magnetic field!" The scientists of the coalition government judged, "Jupiter's magnetic induction is as high as 9 gauss, and the magnetic field on the earth's surface is only 0.25-0.65 gauss. The interference of Jupiter's magnetic field caused it to deviate from the planned orbit."

"The aircraft is still so far away from Jupiter, will it be disturbed?" An official of the coalition government asked, and the aircraft is still far away from Jupiter.

"Jupiter's magnetic field is one of the most powerful in the solar system, second only to sunspot explosions; at the same time, its magnetosphere has a large range and complex structure, and the huge space between 1.4 and 7 million kilometers away from Jupiter belongs to Jupiter. Magnetosphere; while the Earth’s magnetosphere is only within the range of 50,000 to 70,000 kilometers from the center of the earth. Jupiter’s four large satellites are all shielded by Jupiter’s magnetosphere. Now the aircraft has already entered the range of Jupiter’s magnetic field. !” replied the scientist.

"Furthermore, volcanoes on Io release large quantities of sulfur dioxide, forming rings of gas along the satellite's orbit, which are ionized in the magnetosphere to produce ions of sulfur and oxygen, which combine with hydrogen ions from Jupiter's atmosphere, Plasma sheets form in the equatorial plane of Jupiter; these sheets of plasma rotate with the planet, causing a distorted dipole magnetic field that enters the magnetic field plane. The currents in the plasma sheet generate powerful radio signals that interfere with the control signals of unmanned exploration vehicles , I think the Navigator space station has lost contact with the craft now!" added another scientist.

"The signal was interrupted by interference! Moss, restore it as soon as possible!" As soon as his voice fell, Liu Peiqiang's anxious voice was heard in the Navigator space station.

"Sorry, Jupiter's magnetic field interferes too much with the signal. I'm afraid it will be difficult to re-establish a stable connection!" Moss is using various methods to reconnect with the aircraft, but the situation is not optimistic. The magnetic field disturbance was out of control again, so intermittently, the flight track of the aircraft has deviated greatly from the planned route.

"According to the current route, the aircraft has been unable to reach the tipping point, and the plan has failed!" Moss's cold tone made everyone's mood colder, which declared another failure of human beings' plan to save the earth.

"There are other aircraft in the space station! We can try again!" Lieutenant Colonel Makarov shouted loudly, saying that he was about to leave for the area where the aircraft was stored.

"It's useless!" Lieutenant Colonel Harmandan stopped him, "Do you have a second bottle of vodka? Even if you can find other fuel, who can guarantee that this aircraft can fly according to the predetermined route?"

"Always try! Even if there is only a slim hope, we can't give up. Behind us is the entire human race! It is our home earth!" Liu Peiqiang and Lieutenant Colonel Makarov stood together, Lieutenant Colonel Harmandan Sighing, he also followed them to the aircraft storage compartment. Yes, it has reached this level, and he doesn't care about losing one or two more aircraft.

They used all the resources they could find on the space station as igniters, loaded the igniters on the aircraft, and released them one by one, trying to control the aircraft to fly towards the detonation point.

"This reminds me of the age of great voyages, those warriors who sailed towards the unknown sea,

More than 600 years ago, we gradually conquered all the oceans, but now, we have just begun to set foot in space, and the human race is about to be destroyed! "A coalition government official from Spain lamented that Columbus found a new continent for Europe, but they seem to have lost hope of humans reaching new galaxies. He doesn't think these aircraft can reach the tipping point smoothly.

"The launch of intercontinental missiles will encounter a similar situation. Jupiter's strong and chaotic magnetic field will interfere with the trajectory of the missiles, making them unable to follow the planned route!" This is also an important reason why the coalition government did not launch missiles at Jupiter. In such a strong magnetic field environment, no matter how reliable the missile is, it will become an Indian product, and it will only do irregular Brownian motion. If you want to reach the tipping point, you can only hit luck. This is obviously impossible to succeed.

"So in this strong magnetic field environment, if you want to use the aircraft to reach the tipping point, you can only use human control to judge the flight path with the naked eye, but we don't have a suitable flight vehicle now!" The previous unmanned exploration aircraft did not The space for astronauts to stay, and the launch preparation of the space shuttle is not something that can be done in just a few hours.

When astronauts who are willing to dedicate their lives to mankind are found and they are ready to launch the space shuttle, the atmosphere on the earth will have been sucked by Jupiter's gravity long ago. At that time, even if it can detonate Jupiter, what's the point?

And even if it can be successfully launched, can the space shuttle successfully reach the tipping point? Relying only on the star map and the naked eye to navigate is not so difficult.

"We still have a suitable flying vehicle..." Someone suddenly thought of something.

"The Navigator space station is the only hope for the continuation of human civilization, and we cannot use it for this mission!" the chief scientist interrupted him without hesitation, and everyone could guess that he was talking about the Navigator The space station, it is in space, between the earth and Jupiter, with sufficient dye, it can accelerate in a short time, reach the tipping point before the Roche limit arrives, and ignite Jupiter.

"According to calculations, the success rate of Navigator's space station igniting Jupiter to save mankind is 3%." Moss announced the calculation results, and this data silenced everyone.

If it's 30 percent, no, even 20 percent, 10 percent success rate, everyone is willing to take the risk, but now there is only 3 percent hope, then keep a share for mankind Tinder seems to be more important.

Liu Peiqiang looked at Lieutenant Colonel Makarov and Lieutenant Colonel Harmandan, and Makarov patted him on the shoulder, "I also have relatives on Earth."

Lieutenant Colonel Harmandan smiled, "I can't bear the pain of losing my child. Even if I can escape, I will definitely commit suicide, so let's try!" They all made a common decision.

"Moss, help us connect to the coalition government!" Liu Peiqiang smiled, and soon, Liu Peiqiang's face appeared on the big screen at the coalition government headquarters.
