I have a little black hole

Chapter 1217: If you want to force a cow, you should pay for it!

Seeing that other people's astronomical observation equipment is so sophisticated and powerful at the same time, it is impossible to say that he does not envy or hate it, so he does not want to increase the number of detectors in his department at all times.

“The government has allocated more than $120 billion to NASA this year alone, isn't that enough to launch some detectors?" the Speaker questioned.

When he asked the question, the head of NASA immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Speaker, let me answer this question! Although government funding may seem substantial, not all of this money went to NASA, and some other space companies split more than $40 billion.

The rest of this money we're going to invest in is so much, we've invested 45.5 billion dollars this year in a spacecraft research project alone, and this investment is going to continue to climb.

Together with a large number of other research projects, which require significant financial support, each of these funds is used with great caution and on an urgent basis.

Prior to this asteroid impact crisis, funding for NEO projects was not the most urgent, so we had to rely on our existing detectors for early warning.

And if we want to increase the number of relevant detectors to the same level as infinite gravitational groups, it could cost at least $600 billion, and we can't afford that!

Because not only do we need a lot of money for this project, but the spacecraft project and the colonization project on the Moon and Mars need the same amount of money as the astronomical numbers, and I don't think the government is willing to pay for this, either?

In fact, we calculated that our probe would be able to detect this asteroid orbiting 202203 EV 07 for about 72 hours. ”

Don't you get it? It's stupid, no money. What the hell are you talking about? If you want to make me do it, you should pay me!

The day after day, you know, we're no better than the Infinite Gravity Group, and the Infinite Gravity Group, when they don't want to outperform the Infinite Gravity Group, right?

Every time he had to spend money, he was so laborious, or he didn't want to say even the last word, which was barely a step, because this guy could influence the allocation of funds in their department.

“Cough...! I remember not a lot of meteorites hitting the Earth every year, and most of them are not a threat at all. Why is this little planet so dangerous to us?" This guy just turned to the subject.

Money or something is certainly not something that can be discussed right now. There are actually too many benefits involved in this large amount of money. If you cry poorly, you can get money from them. It's too small to take them seriously, so of course he needs to ignore this topic directly.

Even that step was ignored by him. If he could sit in this position, if he didn't have the means to change the subject, he would already have been kicked out of the stage.

I saw my boss throw his eyes at me, George. Lexa nodded immediately to take over this awkward batch of questions, for which there is no common sense at all.

“Yes, in space, there are a large number of small objects orbiting the sun that are tens of kilometers in diameter, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, tens of centimeters in diameter, centimeters in size, or even smaller, like pebbles, sand particles.

Normally, we call these guys asteroids, and the concept of meteorites is what these asteroids call when they enter the Earth, not that all asteroids can be called meteorites.

When these asteroids enter the atmosphere, the process of friction with the atmosphere, which generates light and heat, which we call meteorites, the high temperature and pressure that they produce when they enter the atmosphere, and the imbalance within them, will cause the meteorite to explode, which will form a meteorite rain. And the meteor that didn't burn up landed on Earth, became a meteorite.

Our planet does accept tens of thousands of tons of such ‘gifts' every year, but most of them burn up 10 to 40 miles above ground level and are hard to find even when they land on the ground.

The meteorite fell on the surface of the Earth many times, but the mass of the smaller meteorite is still limited, and the meteorite hit the Earth, its lethality is simple and direct, that is, directly hit the surface of the Earth.

The earth receives countless meteorites every day. Why is everything okay? First of all, because of the thick atmosphere wrapped around the outer surface of the Earth, meteorites rub against the atmosphere as they pass through it until they land on the ground and burn down.

Anyone lucky enough to see this scene in this situation will be treated as a sight to see. Even if there are very few large meteorites that do not burn through the atmosphere, it is unlikely that they will cause widespread damage to the ground, considering the size of the Earth's surface.

And when it comes to why we're so tight, the asteroid named 202203 EV 07 is mainly because it's big enough in size and quality, and its stronger place is in its composition.

What we know about meteorites is the meteorite residues that fall on the ground, which are basically composed of iron, nickel, silicate and other minerals, also known as meteorites.

Meteorites have traditionally been divided into three main categories: meteorites are rocks and the main constituent is silicate minerals.

The second is the iron meteorite, which has a large proportion of iron-nickel components.

The third type is the rock and iron meteorite, which contains a large amount of metal and rock components, which means that the vast majority is a mixture, and the metal is attached to the rock.

And the asteroid named 202203 EV 07 is the third, and it's made up of a lot of metal, so it's not only extraordinarily heavy, but it's also very stable.

Even if the friction after it enters the atmosphere is particularly intense because of its extraordinary speed of flight, it will not collapse in the impact of intense friction through the atmosphere.

This will lead to the impact being particularly powerful if it hits directly. This is our simulated after-effect video. Believe that you will know why we are here to discuss how to solve this crisis! "

This video and this one has been played seven times, but even if someone in the conference room has seen it several times, when they see the disastrous consequences of this simulation again, their face will become very ugly.
