Chapter 442 Comet Hit Jupiter
"Latest news: 【Once in a Millennium】!"

"Yanguo astronomer Ke Yu and astronomy enthusiast Dai Lin discovered several comets more than 6 million kilometers away from the earth when they were observing the starry sky together."

"After more sophisticated astronomical telescope observations, the Yanguo Zijingshan Observatory confirmed that the comets discovered by the two are comet groups and are orbiting Jupiter."

"At the same time, based on the analysis and deduction of the comet's orbit, it is found that the comet group will all crash into the surface of Jupiter in about six months due to the influence of Jupiter's gravity."

The most important part of this message is the last paragraph.

A swarm of comets is about to hit the surface of Jupiter? !

call--!
The news has just been announced, which immediately aroused great attention from the global astronomy community!

Just two hours later, major astronomical institutions and astronomers around the world have come forward to confirm the reliability of the news, and soon!

The news that the comet swarm was about to hit Jupiter burned across the entire Internet like a prairie fire, and directly grabbed the headlines of the major media.

And the entire academic world of astronomy is completely boiling, and everyone is shocked by this news!

To know.

The impact of comets on the eight planets in the solar system is a cosmic event.

It is a cosmic event that has never been observed or observed by human beings in history!

Once the picture of the comet hitting Jupiter can be observed, it will definitely be of great help to the study of stellar collisions, the origin of planets, and even the extinction of dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago!
the most important is.

This is a rare and excellent opportunity to experience the cosmic power of the solar system!

How much is this an opportunity to study the universe and astronomy experts dream of? !
soon.

The news that the Phoenix Group successfully launched the "Bionic Robot Space Station" was completely suppressed, and the global Internet was full of discussions about the comet hitting Jupiter.

……

the other side.

As the top aerospace department in the world, NASA Space Agency of North America also attaches great importance to this matter, and immediately set up a special working group.

The content of their work is to use space telescopes and detectors to observe the impact pictures as much as possible on the day when the comet hits Jupiter, so as to obtain a large amount of first-hand information.

but.

At the first working meeting held after the working group was formed, everyone just walked into the meeting room, and suddenly found that the atmosphere was a bit dignified.

Commissioner William sat in the middle of the meeting room, with a straight face, scanning everyone who came in with extremely serious eyes.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling.

But everyone knows that this is because after Manager Zhang of the Phoenix Group publicly mocked the failure of NASA's moon landing plan at a press conference a few days ago, Director William was called by Washington executives to reprimand him. After returning these days, Director William His complexion was not better.

All the staff members walked into the conference room quietly, not daring to breathe. Everyone was waiting for Director William to break the silence.

at last.

After seeing everyone sitting quietly at the conference table, William glanced at everyone, and finally set his eyes on a young white engineer at the front, and said slowly:

"Enrique, please tell me about the latest work progress."

Enrique, who was named, is the head of the working group.

He hummed cautiously, then opened the documents he carried with him, and said:

"Director William, because the point where the comet collided with Jupiter happened to be in the dark relative to the back of the earth, we cannot directly observe the impact on the earth."

"The only ones that can observe the impact picture are the 'space telescope' in space and the probes flying in space."

"We are qualified with our most powerful space telescope - the 'James Webb Space Telescope', and our 'Juno Jupiter probe' orbiting Jupiter."

"Of course, according to our experience, the 'Webb Space Telescope' should be the one that takes the best pictures, so we are already starting to assign missions to the 'Webb Telescope', half a month before the impact, the 'Webb Space Telescope' will shift the focus of shooting Come to Jupiter."

"As for the 'Juno Jupiter Probe', we are also coordinating with the probe's department to calculate the orbit, and strive for the probe to be on the best observation orbit on the day of the impact."

Hearing that Enrique had arranged the details of the work, Chief William nodded with a straight face, and said lightly:
"Okay, I know."

At this moment, Enrique, who had just reported very fluently, suddenly became a little hesitant.

"Director William, apart from work arrangements, there is one more thing you need to decide."

"Ok?"

William's eyes fell on Enrique again with a "swish", staring at him, and asked in a low voice:

"What else?"

"Is such that."

"After the comet was about to hit Jupiter, we received emails from many institutions and universities."

"Because the comet collision took place in the dark on the back of the earth, the observatory on the earth cannot observe the impact, so they hope that they can provide relevant impact pictures, explosion pictures and data, and share them with them. Academic Research."

"Not only our domestic universities and institutions in North America, but also many foreign institutions and space agencies have put forward similar requirements, including South Korea, the neon country and other large space agencies..."

"So, you still need to make a decision on this matter, how should we reply to them?"

As soon as the words fell, William's eyes suddenly lit up.

A flush of excitement instantly appeared on the originally stern face.

He looked at Enrique hurriedly, and instead of answering the question directly, he suddenly asked:

"Enrique, what's the situation in Yan Kingdom? Tell me!"

Enrique froze for a moment, then quickly realized.

"Director, the situation in Yan Country is basically the same as other countries."

"They don't have a space telescope in space, and they don't have a Jupiter probe, so..."

"It is basically impossible for them to observe the comet hitting Jupiter on the spot for the first time this time. Even if they have more observation points on the ground, it is basically impossible to observe it from the observatory on the earth."

After hearing this, William's stern face melted away.

After a while, he couldn't help laughing twice, then looked at Enrique and said:

"Enrique, just now you said that there are institutions and universities that want us to provide pictures and data of the first scene at the time of the impact. Naturally, our domestic universities and institutions have no problem!"

"However, we must carefully screen the institutions and universities in other countries. They must be institutions and universities in countries that are friendly to us, and they must also sign a non-disclosure agreement with us!"

"It must be guaranteed that these pictures shall not be published or provided to other institutions for scientific research without our permission!"

"If we can't do it according to our request, then we refuse to provide all the information."

The voice fell.

Not to mention that Enrique was stunned for a moment, everyone present was stunned.

Although Director William did not explain why he did this, everyone present knew who he was targeting.

but.

Many people can't help but whisper in their hearts.

Although it is true that a comet hitting Jupiter is a rare event in a thousand years, it is just a cosmic celestial event. If it is farther away, it is bigger. Such an event is impossible to have any impact on current technology.

Such events are more to provide scientists with the development of human science such as the origin of the universe and the origin of the planet...

This is definitely a beneficial thing to promote the development of human civilization.

Even if Manager Zhang of the Phoenix Group mocked NASA at the press conference before, it was indeed very annoying.

But does Director William want to use this to suppress Yan Guo?

Enrique also disagreed with Chief William's approach in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he said hesitantly:
"Director, the impact of a comet on Jupiter is just an ordinary impact event, and its level of secrecy..."

but.

Before Enrique finished speaking, Director William frowned.

He glanced at Enrique impatiently, and Enrique immediately swallowed what he hadn't finished speaking.

"Okay, Chief."

"After the meeting is over, I will reply and contact our institutions and universities, and sign a confidentiality agreement."

William nodded, his eyes finally became less serious.

"Okay, then go ahead and report the second thing..."

……

Just when NASA in North America was holding a meeting to deploy and observe the rare comet hitting Jupiter for the first time in a millennium, the Phoenix Group also received the same news.

Hu Lai didn't care too much.

Observing the impact of celestial bodies is a big thing for the astronomical community, but for him, it is not even important for the Phoenix Group. At most, it is just watching the news for the last time.

but.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, just as he was concentrating on choosing the heroine who decided to shoot a movie last time and create an IP, Director Zhang suddenly walked out of the entrance in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the door, Lao Zhang said anxiously:

"Boss, it's not good, something serious happened."

"Just now, news came from the space station department that they were discussing cooperation with us a few days ago, and several scientific research institutions that had a good chat suddenly suspended discussing cooperation with us."

"According to our indirect inquiries, it should be about the 'comet hitting Jupiter'. These institutions and departments hope to get the impact pictures and impact data provided by NASA, and they are in contact with NASA."

"They mean, they don't want to offend NASA at this time, and hope we can understand."

shit.

As early as after Director Zhang laughed at NASA at the press conference, Hu Lai expected that he would definitely tie up with NASA.

but.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Director Zhang said at the press conference that day.

This incident was originally NASA's director, William, who took the lead in mocking the Phoenix "commercial space station" project in the public media as a waste of money and a step too far, and it was NASA who first provoked it.

Under such circumstances, if the Phoenix Group does not fight back or respond, then it is not the Phoenix Group.

Hu Lai shook his head slightly as he looked at the anxious and remorseful Director Zhang.

What should come will eventually come.

Even if Lao Zhang did not counterattack NASA at the press conference, he will encounter such problems one day, and this is just the beginning.

"Old Zhang, don't worry, how many organizations have suspended cooperation with us?"

"Before yesterday, there were a total of 43 overseas institutions and universities intending to cooperate with us on the space station. As of just now, 26 institutions and universities have suspended cooperation with us, and this number may increase!"

Hearing this news, the office assistant next to Hu Lai was dumbfounded.

OMG!

This is just less than a day, why so many organizations choose to suspend cooperation with the Phoenix Group space station? !

In less than a day, the number of organizations interested in cooperation has been reduced by nearly half? !

Ah this...

If we are waiting for a few days, there may be more organizations that have to suspend cooperation with Phoenix due to the pressure of NASA!
In this way, not to mention that it will cause huge losses to the "commercial space station" project of the Phoenix Group, but at least it will make the Phoenix Group look ashamed in the aerospace field.

Aren't you great?

Are you awesome?

Then I, NASA, will make a little effort to let you see clearly, in the global aerospace field, who the f*ck is the real boss!

That's right!

This kind of imposing suppression is the most deadly and uncomfortable for the Phoenix Group!
"Boss, what should we do now?" Director Zhang asked beside him.

Not to mention Director Zhang, Hu Lai was also a little confused at this time.

He already knew what the problem was.

It is nothing more than that now because of the "comet hitting Jupiter" incident, many organizations around the world are asking NASA, so they have to suspend the cooperation and communication with the Phoenix Group in order to obtain NASA's approval first.

but.

Even if he knew the crux of the matter, he was helpless.

He simply can't provide the on-site pictures that the agencies need!

Although Director Zhang revealed at the press conference before that he has reserved the most advanced "Sky Survey Telescope" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it will take half a year before the official delivery of the "Sky Survey Telescope".

And this "comet hitting Jupiter" event, the official prediction is that it will hit the surface of Jupiter in six months!

If you add a series of work such as launch cycle and debugging, from the perspective of time, it is completely impossible to catch up!
Thinking of this, Hu Lai could only give up his idea of ​​solving it, and asked in a low voice:
"Old Zhang, we can't solve this problem by ourselves at the moment. We don't have a space telescope, so we can only turn to our country for help."

"Have you gone to find out about this? Are there any scientific research institutions in our country?"

Director Zhang shook his head with bitterness on his face.

"Boss, I have already inquired. We do not have a space telescope in China. The only model is the 'Sky Survey Telescope' we purchased."

"As for the ground observation station, because of the impact point of the comet, the fixed observation point on the earth cannot observe the situation on the spot..."

Hearing this, Hu Lai thoroughly felt that this matter was very difficult.

But right now.

Director Wang of the Ministry of Industry, who hadn't been to Phoenix Group for a long time, made a sudden visit.
