Chapter 200, Successive Disintegrations

In outer space, a brand new "Jiulong" spacecraft is preparing for its departure. This brand new spacecraft has learned from the last lesson and spent a lot of money to purchase black gold materials from Fuyun Group to build the keel and frame of the spacecraft, and has also made improvements on some other designs.

"Ignition!"

With Qiu Guangming's order, several heavy-duty carrier rockets on the spacecraft instantly ejected a blazing white and dazzling tail flame, which continued to lengthen as the power continued to increase.

In the spacecraft, more than a dozen carefully selected astronauts looked towards the direction of the earth. In the void, a blue planet exuded the halo of life. This farewell will be a long journey of hundreds of millions of kilometers, and the risks involved may make everyone never return.

However, for the high rewards, each of these more than ten astronauts has received a huge amount of money before departure that is enough for them to live a worry-free life in the future. Each person received a huge reward of up to 200 million Chinese yuan, which is the first time even in the field of astronauts known for their high salaries.

200 million Chinese yuan, even in the past, it was an astronomical amount, not to mention that the Chinese yuan is constantly appreciating, and the purchasing power is soaring sharply around the world. It can be said that 200 million Chinese yuan is enough for them and their families to have no financial worries.

Zhang Xianzu, Qiu Guangming and other people in the organization are also very helpless, because such a long journey is full of huge risks. These astronauts are all high-paid talents. If they don’t come up with numbers that make them excited, no one is willing to risk their lives.

If it is Fuyun Group or Huaxia officials, they have strong technical strength and guaranteed safety, so everyone is naturally not afraid. However, although Zhang Xianzu and others are the top space technology companies in China, they don’t know what the "Nine Dragons" spacecraft is like.

As the carrier rocket started, the huge spacecraft started slowly, first flying around the earth for dozens of times, and the speed was getting faster and faster. When the speed reached more than 20 kilometers per second, the spacecraft directly left the earth's orbit and headed for the asteroid belt.

"Speed ​​up!"

The "Kowloon" spacecraft continuously launched one propulsion rocket after another, and its speed was constantly increasing. The long journey of hundreds of millions of kilometers, if the speed was not fast enough, the round trip time would be too long.

One month after the Kowloon spacecraft set off, in outer space on the Earth, Uncle Sam, chickens, Indian elephants, polar bears, South Korea and other relatively powerful countries in the world, these countries imitated the "Kowloon" spacecraft and built huge spacecraft one by one.

At this time, these huge spacecrafts were almost completed within a few days, and they were also hurriedly heading towards the asteroid belt one after another.

Uncle Sam's "Knight" spacecraft, the length of the spacecraft is more than a kilometer, and it also uses nine huge heavy-duty launch vehicles as power. In terms of traditional launch vehicle technology, if Uncle Sam is second, no one dares to say first. According to theoretical calculations, the "Knight" spacecraft can drag an asteroid of 30 million tons at most, which rarely makes Uncle Sam's news media boast about it.

The "Fujisan" spacecraft of the foot basin chicken is more than 900 meters long. It also uses 9 heavy-duty launch vehicles as its main power source. It carries the 17 best astronauts of the foot basin chicken. It is said that before departure, each of them has been received by their spiritual leader, who gave them a wave of chicken blood.

The "Ula" spacecraft of the polar bear, the "Curry" spacecraft of the Indian elephant, the "Great Universe" spacecraft of South Korea... The huge spacecrafts are branded with the national flags of various countries, playing the national anthem all the way to the asteroid belt.

The news media on the earth are naturally unwilling to be lonely, competing to cheer for the astronauts of their own country, and at the same time they are happy for the breakthroughs made by their country in the field of space, and they all wish their country's spacecraft to return triumphantly.

The blessing seems to be useful. It was calm all the way. Almost all the spacecrafts arrived at the asteroid belt very smoothly, and there was no trouble on the road.

In the asteroid belt, the first "Kowloon" spacecraft to resist has already selected its target, using a model almost identical to that of the Dumbo spacecraft. It first uses a small spacecraft to wrap a carbon fiber rope around the asteroid, and then fixes it to drag the asteroid to change its orbit.

"Start!"

In the spacecraft, everyone became very nervous. As the nine heavy-duty rockets ejected dazzling white tail flames, the carbon fiber ropes connecting the asteroid began to tighten. This time their target was an asteroid with a mass of 20 million tons.

The spacecraft kept shaking, and even a tooth-grinding sound could be heard faintly. It was the sound of metal being stretched by a huge force. Fortunately, the frame of the spacecraft was made of black gold material, and the design also focused on this problem. So when the nine heavy-duty carrier rockets pushed forward with full force.

The asteroid was finally successfully dragged and slowly began to change its trajectory. The "Kowloon" spacecraft finally persisted and did not fall apart due to the huge pulling force.

"Jiulong" successfully changed the trajectory of the asteroid and began to return to the earth. This news was quickly released by Zhang Xianzu and others, because it meant that their previous investment of tens of billions of yuan had paid off. As long as everything went well, the asteroid would be worth at least 200 billion yuan on Earth.

Encouraged by this good news, the stocks of space technology companies such as "Starry Sky Technology", "Starry Sky Power" and "Universal Hand" began to rise wildly again, and the prices of Zhang Xianzu, Zhou Wenhong, Qiu Guangming and others naturally rose.

Of course, it was not only the people in the Chinese space technology community who were encouraged by this good news. Those countries that also had spacecraft heading to the asteroid belt were also ecstatic. The success of the "Jiulong" spacecraft gave them hope and saw that the spacecraft they had worked hard to build could also successfully bring back asteroids and huge resources.

The "Knight" spacecraft arrived at the asteroid belt first. With the help of two top cosmic astronomers on board, they successfully found a suitable asteroid with a mass of 27 million tons and more than 80% of iron. Such an asteroid is perfect.

"Action! We are going home. If everything goes well, we can go back for Christmas."

With the order of Captain Stephen, everyone on the "Knight" spacecraft seemed very excited. After staying on the spacecraft for several months, everyone had been very bored. Now that they heard that they could go home for Christmas, they immediately became energetic.

As the thrust of the rocket continued to increase, the dazzling white tail flame continued to lengthen, and the carbon fiber rope connecting the spacecraft and the asteroid began to tighten.

"Crack!"

When the power of the spacecraft rocket was fully turned on, in just a few seconds, everyone on the spacecraft heard such a sound clearly. They seemed to fall into an ice hole in an instant. Their smiles disappeared in an instant, and they all quieted down and listened.

However, before they could react, the "Knight" spacecraft suddenly fell apart in space. The huge thrust of the rocket acted on the spacecraft. Although the spacecraft used Uncle Sam's most advanced technology, whether it was materials or other aspects, it was all the crystallization of Uncle Sam's technology.

But after all, no one told them about the design experience of such a large spacecraft. If the spacecraft was only used for flying, it would be fine. But once it was used to drag an asteroid with a mass of 27 million tons, it was like using a bamboo raft to sail in the ocean. There was no accident and it disintegrated directly in space.

Following the "Knight" was the "Fujisan" spacecraft of the Foot Basin Chicken. The two spacecraft arrived at the asteroid belt at almost the same time, but there was a slight difference in the angle when they set off, so the position was also thousands of miles apart.

There was no contact between them, and the asteroid belt was far away from the earth, so the news of the disintegration of the "Knight" spacecraft in the asteroid belt did not affect the "Fujisan" spacecraft. This spacecraft, which carried the ambition of the foot basin chicken, did not have any accidents. Like the "Knight" spacecraft, it fell apart directly in space under the huge force.

The "Ura" spacecraft of the polar bear followed closely behind, dragging a huge asteroid and turning into a ball of fire here in the asteroid belt.

Soon, when Uncle Sam, Foot Basin Chicken, and Polar Bear lost contact with their respective spacecrafts, these countries panicked one by one. You must know that these spacecrafts themselves were built at a huge cost, and secondly, they were entrusted with a country's hope for space. No one wanted to see the hope shattered.

The news quickly spread around the world, and the "Curry" and "Great Universe" spacecrafts behind also received the news quickly, but at this time they had already reached the asteroid belt.

It seems a bit unwilling to return empty-handed without doing anything, and I am worried that the previous spacecrafts will encounter accidents in the asteroid belt one after another, and the cause has not been found yet.

In the end, for the sake of safety, both spacecrafts chose asteroids with only more than 1 million tons as their targets, but they still did not escape the disaster, and they also fell apart under the huge force.

One spacecraft after another lost contact, and the whole earth fell into silence and grief, of course, except for China.
