Chapter 447 Severed Hand
In fact, after just linking Lucy's disappearance with the new element, Kang Chi had vaguely guessed that there would be such a result. When Chen Hai asked him, he also answered:
Although what Lucy encountered was not a black hole, the threat it poses to us is somewhat similar to that of a black hole.

However, Kang Chi was not sure how urgent this threat was. Therefore, after Tianwen-2 completed data collection before the crash yesterday, Kang Chi immediately asked Professor Ye to conduct a computational simulation on this issue.

And when Professor Ye just gave the answer of thousands or even tens of thousands of years, Kang Chi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

With such a long time, even if there is a threat, there will definitely be a way to resolve it. Therefore, for Kang Chi, that thing is still a treasure rather than a hot potato, and he does not want to disrupt his original rhythm because of it.

"I agree with Professor Ye. That's enough time for us to come up with a solution. There's no need to be overly anxious..."

"Until there is a proper solution, I think we just need to keep paying necessary attention to it, collect more data to improve Professor Ye's calculation model, and figure out whether all this will happen."

Seeing Kang Chi said so, Director Ge had to suppress his worries and hope that someone could solve this hidden danger in the future...

So they then focused on discussing the specific plan for the next round of exploration missions. In summary, they would learn from this lesson and demagnetize Tianwen-3 to reduce the impact of the magnetic field of the mystery star, so that Tianwen-3 could fly around at close range for long-term observation.

"correct!"

When the meeting was about to end, Kang Chi suddenly thought of a question.

"Those countries that have the capability to launch deep space probes will certainly launch exploration plans towards the Mysterious Planet. Although they are limited by communication technology and cannot obtain as much intelligence as we can, we cannot rule out the possibility that they will discover problems. We must always pay attention to their actions to prevent them from taking risky actions."

"A risky move?"

Kang Chi nodded seriously. "Those Westerners are fearless and too adventurous. I'm worried that after they discover the Mysterious Planet, they will want to know its secrets, or they may calculate its threat to the solar system like we did, and then conduct some crazy experiments..."

Director Ge couldn't help but asked in confusion, "But didn't Professor Ye just say that it's harder than diamond and there's nothing we can do to it for now?"

"Normally yes, but I'm afraid they'll try to nuke it in order to get its fragments to study."

"So sending nuclear bombs really works?"

"I'm not sure either." Kang Chi said seriously, "But I think it's very risky to do so."

Highly risky?

Since everyone here is an expert in aerospace engineering and astrophysics, you may not be that sensitive to nuclear physics, so you may not be aware of it.

But after hearing Kang Chi's reminder, Professor Yu's expression suddenly changed slightly, and then he suddenly realized something and exclaimed: "You mean, that thing might be a super nuclear bomb!"

"Yes!" Kang Chi nodded.
"Everyone should know that detonating a hydrogen bomb relies on the small atomic bomb inside, that is, using the energy produced by fission to create a fusion environment. However, this reaction can also be easily reversed in the presence of fission fuel, that is, using the neutrons produced by fusion to bombard the fission fuel and induce chain fission!"

"Based on the density of the Mystery Star, the material that makes it up must be some kind of superheavy element. The nucleus of this element has a lot of protons and neutrons. However, we still don't know why it can exist stably in nature without decaying, and we are even less sure whether this stable state will be destroyed by the neutrons produced by fusion."

“Although I think that with the level of nuclear fuel elements currently mastered by mankind, the possibility of detonating it is very small, but if it really explodes, you can imagine the consequences yourself…” Kang Chi’s analysis made everyone present shudder.

Energy is conserved. The energy required to synthesize a superheavy element is as terrifying as the energy released when it fissions.

What’s more, the mysterious star is an asteroid with a diameter of more than 32 kilometers and a mass of 5.56×10 kg.

If the main element that constitutes it is really some kind of "nuclear fission fuel" and someone is determined to use a nuclear bomb to blow it up, there is no need to wait for thousands or tens of thousands of years. The entire solar system can be blown up right now!

In fact, Kang Chi's laboratory now has a quantum communication chip that uses this new element. As long as this element is extracted and placed in a collider and bombarded with particles, it will immediately be known whether that thing is "nuclear fission fuel".
But the problem is that if Kang Chi takes out this element now, then the focus of research will immediately change from the new element to Kang Chi...

So we can only wait.

"How about... we contact those nuclear-powered space powers?"

"Communicate?" Kang Chi shook his head decisively. "I don't think it's necessary. Doing so may have a counterproductive effect. Although they may find out sooner or later, every day we know, we can make more preparations in advance..."

Everyone was stunned again, but then they quickly understood what he meant.

The key to all this lies in three words: nuclear deterrence!

To put it bluntly, the current nuclear deterrence means that if you don’t let me live, then we will all be destroyed together!

If we tell them at this time that the Mysterious Star might be a natural super nuclear bomb, the result can be imagined.

They will definitely find a way to place nuclear bombs near the mysterious star in order to further enhance their nuclear deterrence capability.
By then, there will be many "Sword Wielders" in the world, and the probability of humans being killed by themselves will directly increase by 99.999%!

Director Ge could no longer sit still and stood up and said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to report to the Council of Elders immediately and study a response plan!"

Seeing Director Ge's nervous look, Kang Chi just smiled, then stood up and held him and said, "Actually, I have just thought of a plan, the name is 'Broken Hand', you can also tell him about it for me..."

……

As Kang Chi expected, when Country M, Ou Meng, Damao and Xiao Rizi saw that the Chinese Space Agency was unwilling to disclose the data collected by Tianwen-2, they immediately started to establish and cooperate on the Guimi Star Exploration Project.
Among them, Xiao Rizi has been focusing all his skills in aerospace technology on deep space exploration technology, and his strength should not be underestimated, so he was favored by Country M.

Oumeng wanted to cooperate with Country M but was cruelly rejected.
Damao originally hoped that Brother Long could reveal something, but he did not expect that Brother Long's attitude towards this matter was extremely firm. He had no choice but to pull in the eager Third Brother, and the two of them contributed money and the other contributed labor.

In fact, if Da Mao hadn't asked the third brother in time, they might have announced that they would launch the mysterious star probe themselves in the next second...
