Chapter 617 Asteroid is coming?

Lou Song didn't even buy a car, and the place where he usually spends the most money is to buy some badminton rackets.

In terms of material desire alone, Lou Song is even much lower than Xu You.

After the award ceremony of the world's highest academic award, Xu You found Cui Ying and explained the use of the bonus.

"Teacher Cui, Lou Song and I have decided to donate the winning prize money to my personal foundation to support the research of some outstanding scientists and commend some outstanding students. This news does not need to be disclosed to the public. We did it voluntarily. Teacher Cui has to worry about the formalities and subsequent allocation of funds.”

Hearing Xu You's arrangement, Cui Ying couldn't help being moved.

It has been several years since Xu You established a personal scholarship foundation, so Cui Ying was not so surprised that Xu You could do such a thing.

What Cui Ying didn't expect was that Lou Song, like Xu You, would put money aside and donate the bonuses without hesitation.

You know, this is a bonus of several million, even in Jijing, it is enough to buy a house.

Being able to have the courage to do such a good deed can only show that Xu You and Lou Song really put their whole heart and soul into research, and don't care about trivial matters outside of research.

If it were Cui Ying herself, it would be very difficult for her to remain indifferent to these millions of dollars of wealth.

However, after all, Cui Ying is Xu You's most trusted scientific research assistant. After Xu You arranged this task, she quickly helped Xu You and Lou Song to deal with the bonus donation procedures, and followed Xu You's previous instructions, to the fund. The distribution method is arranged.

…………

On this day, Xu You was working in the laboratory as usual, when Cui Ying walked in suddenly.

"Teacher Xu, are you busy now?"

Xu You's job at hand was not very important, and Cui Ying would not be so eager to find her, Xu You knew that this time Cui Ying must have nothing trivial.

"Fortunately, Teacher Cui, tell me."

Cui Ying leaned close to Xu You's ear and whispered:

"Mr. Xu, the Academy of Aerospace Sciences has just monitored that three asteroids are gradually approaching the earth, and may eventually enter low-earth orbit, posing a certain threat to the earth. If possible, you should take the time to visit the Academy of Aerospace Sciences Let's see."

Hearing this news, Xu You also frowned.

"Okay, Teacher Cui, I understand."

Xu You is no stranger to asteroids approaching the earth.

Because such things happen from time to time, in fact, there are tens of thousands of asteroids that may approach the earth, so it is not news that asteroids approach the earth from time to time.

Including the space agencies of various countries, these asteroids are also being monitored to prevent any threats to the earth.

"It seems that even if the matter this time is not very serious, it should not be underestimated." Xu Youxin said.

Cui Ying didn't know the specific news, Xu You rushed over after contacting the space agency.

After seeing the people from the Aerospace Academy, Xu You immediately asked about the situation.

"Academician Xu, don't worry too much. According to the current situation, the probability of these three asteroids eventually entering low-Earth orbit is about one in ten thousand to one in thousand. We still have a year to go. Looking for a final solution."

While listening to the report on the situation, Xu You checked the specific information through the computer.

"A diameter of 1.5 kilometers...it's really not a small asteroid." Xu You sighed.

These three asteroids that may enter low-Earth orbit range in diameter from a few hundred meters to 1,500 meters, and they are not too small in size.

If there is an asteroid that finally reaches the earth, it may cause considerable consequences.

Observing the movement status of these asteroids, Xu You activated the simulation skills in his brain to predict the trajectory of the asteroids.

After a careful simulation, Xu You's expression was still a bit dignified.

"Although there is not such a high probability of entering low-Earth orbit, there are still certain risks." Xu Youxin said.

In a short period of time, Xu You has completed tens of thousands of simulations, and among them, there have been several simulations, and the asteroid has indeed entered the low-earth orbit.

There are too many uncertain factors for what will happen one year later, and it is impossible to give a definite result at this time.

These risks are indeed worthy of Xu You's thinking about solutions.

"Is there any plan at present?" Xu You asked.

"The worst case scenario is to use nuclear weapons to destroy these asteroids. We have just contacted the Sam Space Agency and the Soviet Space Agency, and we are willing to cooperate on this matter."

Hearing this news, Xu You felt a little more at ease.

Xu You knows that when faced with a common crisis, it will definitely lead to the formation of a real community of shared future for mankind.

If the earth does suffer, no one benefits.

However, Xu You also knew that using nuclear weapons to destroy asteroids was just a bad idea in a hurry.

Based on the existing stock of nuclear weapons in the world, it is enough to destroy an asteroid, but following it, there will definitely be some side effects and various other potential risks.

Xu You felt that in terms of the remaining time now, it was enough to plan a better plan.

Thinking of this, Xu You asked:

"If possible, let me contact the Sam Space Agency. I think cooperation is a better choice in this matter."

Xu You knows that the Sam space agency has done experiments on the topic of spacecraft and asteroid collisions, and we are still in the blank on this point.

If enough information can be provided to Xu You, it will definitely help Xu You solve this problem better.

"Okay, Academician Xu, I'm going to contact the Sam space agency."

Soon after Xu You made this request, the Sam Space Agency responded by agreeing to a dialogue with Xu You.

To Xu You's surprise, it was no longer Commander Johnson who had the conversation with Xu You this time.

"Academician Xu, let me introduce myself. My name is Robert and I am a researcher at NASA."

Xu You's eyes lit up when he heard Robert's name.

Xu You had heard about Robert for a long time.

Since Robert is only a researcher, he is far less powerful than Williams and Johnson.

However, in terms of professional ability, Robert can be said to be the number one in the Sam Space Agency, and his research ability is unmatched.

Because of the accuracy of his orbit calculations, Robert is known as the "robot".
