The meeting began soon.

The first speaker was the CEO of the Earth United Government, an old man with a European face.

"Hello everyone, I'm happy to meet with all the experts and scholars here. All of us here are the top scientists on our planet, most of them are old acquaintances. Of course, some new faces have joined in today. I hope that in the next meeting, whether it is new faces or previous old people, everyone can speak freely. The Earth's crossing of the asteroid belt is an adventure decision made by the coalition government, but in order to accelerate the earth with the help of Jupiter's gravitational slingshot effect and escape from the solar system, this is also a last resort decision."

"Luckily, this kind of crossing only takes one time. For the remaining few orbital cycles, we can let the earth pass harmlessly along the edge of the asteroid belt. Therefore, this crossing can be said to be the last adventure of the earth before it meets Jupiter. This adventure may have many dangerous scenes beyond our expectations, such as the impact of the earth by giant asteroids, such as the possibility of large-scale shutdown after the planetary engine is hit, and for example, extremist forces will take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack on our earth's engine..."

"There will be many difficulties, and there may be many uncontrollable accidents. Of course, the coalition government and the military will do their best to eliminate non-scientific factors, but purely scientific factors need to be used by everyone here. That's all I want to say. Let me give you the Secretary-General of the Science Committee of the United Government below!"

A burst of thunderous applause quickly rang in the conference room. This time, the speaker was an old man from the Eastern Confucians.

Pang Xuelin knew him. This is Liu Xin, a Chinese scientist who proposed the plan to reunite the planetary engine and the Wandering Earth Plan with Kazuo Nakata. He is one of the three giants of the United Government and is also the secretary-general of the Science Committee. Since the start of the Wandering Earth Plan, he has held this position for thirty years and is now an old man in his seventies.

Liu Xin said: "Mr. Seidov has just talked about the importance of this operation. Next, I will talk about some possible problems and details during the Earth's voyage through the asteroid belt."

Liu Xin paused and continued: "Before the start of this meeting, we have sent everyone the scheduled route of the Earth and the asteroid orbit parameters that we have observed so far in the asteroid belt that have exceeded 500 meters. Everyone has seen the relevant information. The channel we chose is also a safe channel calculated by supercomputer."

"However, for asteroids with a diameter of less than 500 meters, our current observation ability is limited, and these asteroids are always in motion, so the warning time can be made is very limited. In fact, any asteroid with a diameter of 100 meters and a mass of more than 100 tons falls into the earth, especially into the northern hemisphere, which may cause devastating damage to our planetary engines, causing a series of chain disasters. One of our preliminary plans at present is that the space fleet is distributed within a radius of 1.5 million kilometers around the earth to perform cleaning missions, and the earth provides reconnaissance warnings. Once an asteroid with a diameter of more than 100 meters enters this range, an antimatter bomb will be used to blast the asteroid."

"The time for the Earth to cross the asteroid belt is about 50 days. We are currently more than 5 million kilometers away from the asteroid belt. It is expected that the Earth will officially enter the asteroid belt in half a month. Therefore, in the next two months, you must provide all-round intellectual support for this operation. I hope everyone can understand it."

"Okay, that's all I want to say. Next, if you have any opinions or suggestions about this action, you can take them out and discuss them at the meeting."

After Liu Xin finished speaking, the conference room was quiet for a while, and gradually fell into a low voice.

Soon, scientists raised their hands to speak.

"I have a question, are we stored enough antimatter bombs? How much thrust redundancy is our engine? What is the explosion limit that a planetary engine can withstand? "

The conference room gradually became quiet, and everyone turned their eyes to the people sitting on the rostrum.

"I'll answer this question!"

This time, the person who spoke was a middle-aged man in military uniform, obviously from the military.

"We have stored more than a thousand antimatter bombs, which can destroy at least thousands of asteroids that may threaten the earth. You don't have to worry about this. In addition, the engine redundancy is about 30%, and we can withstand more than 30% of planetary engines losing thrust. As for the explosion limit that planetary engines can withstand, we have used supercomputing simulations. Even if a million-ton hydrogen bomb does not directly hit the planetary engine, it will not have much impact on the operation of planetary engines. If it is an asteroid impact, generally only asteroids with more than 100 tons or more diameters hit the planetary engine directly can affect the planetary engines."

"Thank you for your answer, I have no problem yet!"

The scientist nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, another person raised his hand and said, "Secretary General Liu said just now that our current warning range is about 1.5 million kilometers, and the main target of the space fleet is still asteroids with a diameter of more than 100 meters. However, according to my calculations, if an asteroid between 50 meters and 100 meters hits the northern hemisphere, it may also cause extremely severe impacts. I would like to ask, when it is discovered that the impact is inevitable and the space fleet cannot destroy the asteroid, can the earth turn the direction in time so that the asteroid can accurately fall into the southern hemisphere?"

Liu Xin replied with a smile: "We can do this, which is why we ask the space fleet to set up a 1.5 million-kilometer warning circle. When certain high-threat targets are inevitable, we can actively adjust the asteroid's landing area to minimize the losses as much as possible. This is also why everyone needs to be advised here. Because there are high-threat targets, everyone here needs to make correct decisions. At that time, whether it is the coalition government or the space fleet, they will directly obey your command!"

"Thank you, Secretary-General Liu, my problem is gone!"

At this time, Pang Xuelin raised his hand and said, "I have a problem!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on Pang Xuelin.

Although most of the people here recognize Pang Xuelin's qualifications to attend this conference, if such a young man appears in the conference, his every move will become the focus of everyone.

"Professor Xiao Pang, please tell me!"

Liu Xin's eyes fell on Pang Xuelin, with relief, expectation, and a hint of curiosity.

He asked Pang Xuelin to attend this meeting.

After all, in the past few years, Pang Xuelin has been the most popular scientist in China.

In addition to his outstanding achievements in the fields of carbon nanotubes and graphene, this little guy has solved the BSD conjecture problem that has plagued the mathematics community for nearly a hundred years.

At the same time, it has achieved remarkable achievements in the field of pure numbers and engineering. Such compound talents are extremely rare in this era.

Because Pang Xuelin is too young and has too shallow qualifications, although Liu Xin has noticed him in the past few years, he has always been allowed to stay in the front line of scientific research. On the one hand, he can see if he can achieve better achievements. On the other hand, he has also been allowed to endure qualifications and be transferred directly to Hope City when the right time is right and become a member of the Science Committee of the Earth United Government.

However, the risks taken by the Earth's crossing the asteroid belt this time were too great and intellectual support was urgently needed, so Liu Xin took this opportunity to directly call out Pang Xuelin's name.

Pang Xuelin said: "I would like to ask if our space fleet has a way to urgently expand the guard circle. After all, the guard circle with a radius of 1.5 million kilometers is still a bit narrow. Once a relatively fast asteroid enters the Earth's channel, we may not have enough reaction time."

After Pang Xuelin finished speaking, Liu Xin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He also wondered whether this young man could put forward some suggestions or suggestions that were beyond everyone's expectations, but this question was too perfunctory.

At this time, the middle-aged man in military uniform said, "Professor Pang, the 1.5 million-kilometer warning circle has reached the limit of the space fleet. If the warning range is expanded, it is very likely that the fish that escapes the net will appear. Once there is a problem, the trouble will be great."

Pang Xuelin seemed not surprised by the middle-aged man in military uniform, and smiled slightly and said, "So, I have an idea that not only can the warning range of the space fleet, but also can effectively observe asteroids with a diameter of more than ten meters within a range of 10 million kilometers of the Earth's waterway. I wonder if you are interested?"

"What?"

After Pang Xuelin finished speaking, the entire conference room suddenly fell quietly and could hear it. Everyone looked at Pang Xuelin in a daze. Why is this guy so shameless when he brags?

If he could do what he said, then what else could the big guy have to do? It would be dispersed directly. The Earth's coalition government and the military could easily allow the Earth to pass through the asteroid belt without any damage.

Even Liu Xin, who had always had certain expectations for Pang Xuelin, looked at Pang Xuelin with some headaches. Did he do something wrong by bringing him to Hope City? Why is this guy so unreliable to speak!

"Comrade Pang Xuelin, we are a formal government meeting and we are not allowed to make any jokes. Every word you say must be responsible!"

Liu Xin looked at Pang Xuelin Dao with a serious expression.
Chapter completed!
