This is not only because in English, Robert and robot are the same word, but also because Robert, like a robot, can accurately solve various problems.

Xu You was far more excited to be able to have a conversation with Robert than to be able to talk to someone like Johnson.

"Researcher Robert, it's a pleasure to talk to you." Xu You said politely.

"Academician Xu You, the Sam Space Agency has given a complete plan for using nuclear weapons to destroy asteroids. As long as several of our countries can produce enough nuclear weapons, then this plan is enough to ensure the safety of the earth."

While talking, Robert shared this plan with Xu You.

Xu You opened the document and looked it over carefully.

"As expected...it is a very accurate calculation!" Xu You sighed.

Putting aside other factors, Xu You has always praised the technology of Sam Space Agency, among which many excellent researchers are inseparable.

As long as everyone is willing to cooperate with this plan, theoretically, the crisis caused by the asteroid approaching the earth can be resolved.

However, Xu You still keenly thought of some secondary problems.

As long as the nuclear device collides with the asteroid near the earth, it will inevitably have a considerable impact on the earth.

The extent of this impact cannot be estimated, and the impact is likely to last for several years.

"Academician Xu You, what do you think of this plan?"

"There is nothing wrong with this plan itself, but I think we can come up with better plans."

Hearing Xu You's answer, Robert was also surprised.

"Academician Xu You, do you have any other ideas?"

As he spoke, Xu You told Robert about his worries just now.

"We also need to assess other effects of the nuclear explosion. With our current capabilities, the location of the nuclear explosion cannot be too far from the earth. The huge magnetic field generated by the nuclear explosion will definitely have a great impact on the earth. "

Nuclear explosions will not only affect various electronic devices, but also threaten people's health to a certain extent.

"That's right! Academician Xu You, this is also what I'm worried about! There are very few people in the Sam Space Agency who hold these opinions like us!"

For some reason, when talking about these words, Robert's emotions suddenly became agitated.

Xu You also didn't know why Robert was like this, and he murmured in his heart.

"Academician Xu You, the leaders of the Sam space agency all tend to use nuclear weapons to solve the problem, and I am not opposed to this plan, including the specific details, which are mainly calculated by me. But I personally do not I like this simple and crude way, without any artistic sense at all."

Xu You was a little surprised that even though these calculations were very precise in his own eyes, they were actually evaluated as "simple and rude" by Robert.

"Researcher Robert, you don't want to use the method of spacecraft impact to change the trajectory of the asteroid?"

"That's right! This is the more suitable solution I think. Academician Xu You, you should know that our Sam Space Agency has done such experiments before."

Xu You made a detailed analysis of that experiment. In that collision, the Sam Space Agency hit an asteroid with a diameter of 160 meters into a 10% deviation from the original orbit. It worked out pretty well.

However, if it is a larger asteroid, it will be difficult for it to deviate too much from its trajectory.

"Researcher Robert, can you share with me the information about this spacecraft impact asteroid experiment?"

"Academician Xu You, if I were the director of the Sam Space Agency, of course I would be willing. Unfortunately, I am only a researcher and do not have such great power. But I will definitely let that... let the director try to agree to your request , this is the best solution to the asteroid problem.”

Xu You could tell that Robert was indeed not as pure as Williams and Johnson.

The communication between the two is mainly about various technical issues, not about the conflicting interests.

After finishing talking with Robert, Xu You was in a pretty good mood.

"I hope that Robert really cooperates with me sincerely, and I also hope that this time, everyone can really unite to solve the asteroid problem." Xu You thought.

What made Xu You happy was that after that, the Sam space agency really sent him some information about the asteroid impact experiment.

These experimental data are very confidential, but at a critical juncture, how to solve the crisis is the most important thing.

Xu You carefully read the information inside, and at the same time, his brain was running at a high speed, thinking deeply about related issues.

"It's really an ingenious and exquisite design. This level of impact can be clearly distinguished through ground-based telescopes."

After all, it is a project that Sam Space Agency spent hundreds of millions of dollars on, and the significance of the experiment is self-evident.

However, Xu You also discovered that there are still many phenomena, which have not been fully explained yet.

For example, the mechanical analysis of the interior of the asteroid, the problem of inconsistency with the actual state of the asteroid, and so on.

These questions require more experiments before accurate conclusions can be drawn.

After reading the information, Xu You began to think in more detail.

"Theoretically speaking, using the impact of a spacecraft can indeed change the trajectory of asteroids, causing them to deviate from their previous trajectory and thus stay away from low-Earth orbit."

However, under the premise that the mass of the spacecraft is much smaller than that of the asteroid, the momentum of the spacecraft needs to be large enough to make the asteroid deviate.

Obviously, with the current launch vehicle capabilities of the Sam Space Agency, it is impossible for the spacecraft to reach the ideal speed.

"No way... Even if it's Zhengtu No. 9, it's still a bit short." Xu You thought.

Even if everything is in the most ideal situation, it is impossible to make the asteroid deviate from the expected degree.

After all, the size of these three asteroids is indeed very large. If the relative speed of the spacecraft and the asteroid is not very different, it is impossible to change the motion state of the asteroid at all.

"Wait a minute... there seems to be another way."

At this time, Xu You suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The best method Xu You could think of before was to choose a launch location somewhere on the equator, so that the rocket's carrying capacity could be improved more.

However, this requires the construction of a rocket launch base at the equator, or the direct selection of a rocket launch base at the equator, and many other problems need to be faced.
