Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

The team then began orbital calculations, but received a disheartening result: if they could not successfully adjust the asteroid's orbit within half a month, even if they temporarily deviated it, it could still be captured by Earth's gravity again.

"There's only half a month left."

Chen Tianfei felt immense pressure upon seeing this data. While theoretically they could take further action at the last minute, the problem lay in the asteroid's elliptical orbit. Even if they successfully altered its trajectory the first time, the effectiveness of a second attempt was uncertain. This meant that humanity would have at most a safe period of thirty years.

"I have an idea."

At this point, Cao Liping proposed an innovative solution.

"I remember that we previously used the principles of quantum mechanics to develop a protective membrane that could absorb and dissipate impact energy, didn't we?"

Everyone looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Our Earth is like a magnetic pole, and everyone understands the principle that like poles repel each other, right?"

Those present nodded in agreement.

"So what if we use quantum mechanics to solve this problem? After all, the Earth's North and South Poles each have specific magnetic force values."

"This is impossible."

Tony immediately and categorically rejected the idea.

"Even if humanity possesses the relevant technology, we would still need to terraform the Earth. But we must understand that once the gravitational field changes, even if the probability of an asteroid impact decreases, will the terraformed Earth still be suitable for human survival?"

Cao Liping was speechless for a moment.

"That's right."

Based on the final discussion, the team decided to develop a mountable laser gun device that could directly strike any asteroid.

"Let's split up. Chen Tianfei, you lead the research team to continue developing the planetary propulsion system, and I'll take charge of the weapon system research. What do you think?"

Cao Liping also has considerable expertise in the field of weapons, although she has focused primarily on quantum mechanics research in recent years.

"Actually, for some time now, I've been trying to verify whether quantum mechanics can save all of humanity in a crisis."

"OK!"……

Everyone immediately threw themselves into a new round of intense and enthusiastic research work.

People have gradually calmed down, but it's still hard to say whether these efforts will ultimately bring about a turnaround. After all, none of the issues have been formally put on the agenda yet.

After a period of continuous hard work, the team did indeed feel some glimmer of hope.

"Don't rush, let's continue to observe the progress."

In reality, Chen Tianfei himself had limited knowledge of these technical conditions, so Cao Liping could only seize the time to conduct in-depth research.

Jiang Chuan doesn't need to worry too much, because he is about to go to space with Xu Jiajia to carry out a special mission.

Currently, all personnel at the astronaut training base are actively preparing for this, and a giant spacecraft is undergoing final modifications and upgrades at the Northwest base.

While it's possible to deploy multiple warships to carry out the mission together, this giant spaceship will clearly be the main platform for this operation.

The spacecraft is equipped with a powerful robotic arm system and can carry multiple small aircraft to land directly on the surface of that asteroid.

To ensure absolute safety, a second contingency plan is also being developed simultaneously. This plan is actually quite simple: it employs traditional methods, first assessing the condition of the small celestial body, and finally installing a nuclear bomb inside to carry out the detonation.

However, no one was sure whether this plan could be successful.

The reason is clear: First, no one knows anything about the density parameters of this asteroid.

The most pressing issue right now is what impact these small celestial bodies will have, as there are only rough estimates of their density at present. "The ideal solution is to first send a small team of astronauts to land and survey the area, addressing any potential problems through on-site measurements. They can then remain on standby at a nearby relay space station, awaiting the arrival of the subsequent scientific team."

Fortunately, since the end of the last global conflict, humanity has established a fairly comprehensive network of space stations within the solar system.

"Don't worry, I'll be leading the team this time."

Jiang Chuan immediately announced that he would personally lead Xu Jiajia to space.

"approve!"

The plan was approved at a meeting of higher authorities.

"I have full command over this operation. No matter what happens, I reserve the final decision-making authority, after all, the team must have a clear commander."

Although everyone's understanding of the current situation is not yet deep enough, the data provided by Chen Tianfei greatly boosted Jiang Chuan's confidence.

The higher authorities also approved of these arrangements, since under the current circumstances, they do provide a clear direction for everyone's work.

"Alright, let's leave those details aside for now. Now that everyone is aware of the current situation, let's give it a try. I believe hope always exists."

Judging from the current situation, all preparations are progressing in an orderly manner.

"Let's not talk about these things for now. Let's focus on solving the problem as soon as possible. I believe that in the end everyone will understand why we are so persistent."

And so, the couple immediately began a week of intensive training at the astronaut center, as they were running out of time.

When Chen Tianfei learned that his boss was going to go to space, he didn't say much, only expressing his concern.

After several days of thorough preparation, the group finally boarded the spaceship bound for space.

Jiang Chuan remained calm and composed at this moment.

During their absence, all company affairs were handled entirely by Lao Zhao.

This time, they will make crucial decisions that will shape the future of humanity.

As the spacecraft gradually approached its target.

The first giant asteroid suddenly appeared before their eyes.

"My God, if this thing really hits Earth, it will definitely create a giant crater on our planet's surface, and may even cause a devastating disaster."

This asteroid is indeed enormous, roughly the size of seven basketball courts.

According to calculations, there is an even larger asteroid nearby, roughly the size of four football fields.

"Stay calm and continue to observe."

Upon reaching the asteroid's surface, the landing team immediately began density measurements.

Jiang Chuan brought the latest detection equipment developed by Chen Tianfei's team and immediately began data analysis on this celestial body.

The results revealed a key issue: the asteroid's outer shell was unusually hard, but its interior was hollow.

This means that if a nuclear bomb is detonated inside an asteroid, it will not produce the desired effect and can only be used for surface detonation.

"how so?……"

When Chen Tianfei received the message, he was completely stunned—these planets were hollow? What about the other planets? (End of Chapter)
