Chapter 370 Implementation

The subsequent arrangements for them have been adjusted in terms of professionalism, so that their exploration mission can be carried out in a more professional manner.

As for why the Kyushu Space Agency agreed to let non-professional astronauts board the plane, it's because the current technology is sufficient, given the availability of anti-gravity technology.

These scientists, who are not particularly physically strong, can experience the same sensations as on the ground during launch thanks to the application of anti-gravity technology. This means that their physical condition will not be significantly restricted during launch or subsequent missions.

Therefore, under these circumstances, the composition of the extraterrestrial exploration team that set off again was adjusted.

The benefits of doing this are obvious. After all, they are scientists. In the actual execution of their missions, they will adjust the subsequent tasks according to the mission situation and conduct specialized explorations in certain places.

The spaceplane exploring asteroids was carried by an astronomer who specialized in studying the asteroid belt. He knew almost everything about all the asteroids near Earth.

This also made their subsequent exploration missions more reasonable, and the old pattern of wandering aimlessly in the universe like headless flies, searching for asteroids to explore, is gone forever.

After making these adjustments, the Kyushu Space Agency arranged for both the Mars exploration team and the asteroid exploration team to quietly leave Earth, just like the previous mission to Mars.

This time, however, they sent out two spaceplanes, making the mission much larger in scale. Nevertheless, the exploration of Mars continues at the same pace as before.

As for the Kyushu Spaceplane's recent activities, Nasa and other space agencies are paying close attention. They really don't want to repeat the last time, when others were sending exploration teams to Mars while they were still acting like fools, thinking they were the ones who knew Mars the most.

Therefore, after the spaceplanes in Kyushu took off one after another from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, all their satellites were constantly monitoring the movements of the spaceplanes.

Faced with the surveillance of these agencies, the Kyushu Space Agency didn't have a good solution. They couldn't very well shoot down all of their satellites in space, could they? That wouldn't be called evading surveillance; it would be called launching a war without warning.

Since the Kyushu Space Agency realized they couldn't keep it a secret, they figured they might as well leave it at that. As long as they didn't say anything particularly offensive internationally, Kyushu would pretend they knew nothing.

It was under this tacit understanding that the spaceplane from Kyushu set off with the exploration team. Nasa and other organizations saw it, but they remained silent and refused to talk about the actions that had occurred in Kyushu.

Thanks to their cooperation, the general public was completely unaware that the Kyushu Space Agency had once again dispatched an exploration team beyond Earth.

Everything that happened in Kyushu was being carried out openly yet secretly.

Why hasn't Nassa revealed their discovery yet? It's because revealing it wouldn't bring them much benefit; these space agencies are already under immense pressure.

This is also closely related to the Kyushu Space Agency's competitive nature. Look, Kyushu has already sent exploration teams to Mars and even extraterrestrial asteroids, while these other agencies are still working hard to return to the moon.

Given such a huge disparity, it's only natural that their taxpayers would stage another large-scale protest to demand an explanation from Nassar.

There is even a possibility that some of their idle members of Congress will initiate proposals to cut their budgets.

Such proposals are usually successful after being submitted to the meeting, because they don't achieve much, but they still spend a lot of money.

If Li Zhenhua, who is currently traveling around Huizhou, knew about the situation Nasa was facing, he would definitely sit on a small stool, cracking melon seeds and watching the show with amusement.

Two exploration teams set off from Earth. The team heading towards Mars embarked on another month-long journey, while the other spaceplane, whose target was a near-Earth asteroid, reached its destination not far after leaving Earth.

Near-Earth asteroids are asteroids that come close to Earth's orbit as they travel, such as some meteors that can be seen from Earth. However, near-Earth asteroids are not meteors.

Asteroids that approach Earth's orbit during their orbit pose a constant risk of colliding with Earth. There are countless such asteroids in the universe.

So far, more than 20,000 medium-sized near-Earth asteroids have been discovered, of which nearly 700 are over one kilometer in diameter, and several hundred are known to be up to four kilometers in size.

Any one of these asteroids colliding with Earth would cause catastrophic destruction.

This only includes asteroids that have been discovered and counted; the number of asteroids that have not been recorded is countless.

Therefore, Kyushu's dispatch of an exploration team to explore asteroids is not only aimed at the various minerals carried by the asteroids, but also at studying the asteroids' orbits, in order to further reduce the harm that asteroids may cause to Earth.

Timely and proactive exploration of asteroids that pose a threat to Earth is crucial for the humane destruction of these unstable factors that threaten Earth's safety, or for pushing them into orbits far away from Earth.

Another possibility is that if an asteroid contains a large amount of useful materials, they would try every means to leave it behind and get all the useful minerals into their own hands.

Furthermore, Kyushu has made arrangements for the debris left after the asteroid shatters. This debris will be pushed into the sea to create artificial land. In any case, the asteroid that is brought back will not be wasted at all.

Of course, the specific procedures will need to be discussed later, but this is their ultimate goal for dealing with the asteroid.

If Li Zhenhua knew about Kyushu Space Agency's idea now, he would definitely applaud them and give them a big thumbs up.

Their idea is truly brilliant; the idea of ​​using asteroids to create land alone deserves his thumbs up.

However, the premise and focus of all this still lies in the issue of how to bring the asteroid back to Earth.

If Li Zhenhua were to come up with a solution, he would suggest trying the anti-gravity technology available on the spaceplane to see if it could be used to control the asteroid.

After controlling the asteroid, we will find a planet similar to Earth to test whether antigravity technology can be used to hold the asteroid and whether it can achieve a safe soft landing during descent.

However, for the Kyushu Space Agency, all of this is still premature. There is still a long way to go before we can actually conduct experiments.

Therefore, it is more appropriate for them to focus on the exploration phase at present.

While the Kyushu Space Agency's extraterrestrial exploration was proceeding smoothly, Li Zhenhua and his family of three were having a great time in Huizhou.

Furthermore, they also investigated the Huizhou beef noodles, a delicacy found throughout northern China, to see if the authentic Huizhou region actually has Huizhou beef noodles.

The final conclusion is that Huizhou does indeed have a local specialty called "banmian" (板面), but Huizhou beef banmian is not actually a dish from Huizhou.

The local version of the flat noodles is made with mutton instead of beef. Huizhou beef flat noodles were actually improved in Hebei Province.

It's like Lanzhou ramen in Lanzhou only has ramen, but wife cake doesn't contain a wife, and shredded pork with garlic sauce doesn't contain fish—it's the same situation.

Anyway, they had a great time in Huizhou, and the family of three perfectly showcased their gourmet nature. When they travel, they go wherever the scenery is beautiful.

Their motto for traveling as a family of three was all about food: wherever there was good food and local delicacies, that's where they would drive.

What determines how long they stay in a province is not the scenic spots, but the abundance of delicious food within that province. It is precisely because of this principle that Little Chestnut has become much larger than when they set off.

Children grow quickly to begin with, and with all the delicious food they've been fed along the way, Little Chestnut has not only grown taller than other children, but has also gained a lot of weight.

As she ate her way along the way, her little face visibly grew rounder. Although she gained a lot of weight, thanks to the good genes of Li Zhenhua and Li Yun, Little Chestnut didn't become ugly as a result.

On the contrary, they became even cuter, their chubby little faces looking especially adorable.

Like sharks drawn to blood and food, the family of three was captivated by the delicacies of various places, and their journey should be renamed a culinary adventure.

The culinary journey continues, while the military continues its experiments with cloud transfer.

In recent years, the Earth has been in a state of unpredictability. Not only has the land of Kyushu suffered many disasters, but large-scale disasters have also occurred all over the world, such as the massive floods that occurred in Pakistan a few years ago.

The disaster affected a vast area, ravaging one-third of the country's land area and impacting more than 30 million people. The prolonged and widespread heavy rainfall caused the massive floods in Pakistan.

The military has been tracking down heavy rain clouds based on cloud information provided by the Kyushu Meteorological Bureau.

It is precisely because the military needs the technical support of the Kyushu Meteorological Bureau that the bureau has been paying close attention to cloud conditions in Kyushu.

It was under these circumstances that, on the first day of work at the Meteorological Bureau in Beiping, a large cloud layer was discovered gathering over the three provinces of Zhongzhou, Dongshan, and Yanzhao in Kyushu.

Furthermore, the cloud formations change extremely quickly, so quickly that people can hardly react. When these clouds converge, they will produce extremely severe rainfall. In a short period of time, a large amount of rain will fall in a certain area, resulting in natural disasters.

The meteorological bureau immediately reported the situation to its superiors. After receiving the warning from the meteorological bureau, all relevant departments were on high alert and took action in accordance with the emergency plans they had made in the past.

Of course, the military also received a warning from the meteorological bureau. To be honest, before that, they didn't really have any good solutions. They simply organized their soldiers to be ready for flood relief at any time.

However, the current situation is different because they now have a better way to deal with it than to let the heavy rain fall and cause floods, and then have to fight the floods.

It would be better to move these clouds away before the rain hits the ground, reducing the rainfall from a flood level to a level the earth can withstand. In that case, the flood that was going to happen would be extinguished before it even hits the ground.

With the method in place, everything became simple. Of the eight aerospace fighters belonging to the military, all but one, which was in space on a combat readiness mission, were put into action.

Seven aerospace fighters took off from their respective air force bases and then sped to the area with the thickest cloud cover, as provided by the weather bureau.

Upon arrival at their destination, they immediately deployed the particle energy shields on their respective aircraft and expanded the shields to their maximum extent.

The vast, thick cloud layer was encased within a particle energy shield, and because of the current state of the cloud layer, they didn't need to compress it at all.

Once they deploy their shields and envelop the clouds, they can simply fly towards the arid Earth.

Once they reached their destination, they released the clouds, causing the heavy rain that should have fallen on areas with abundant water to fall instead on an extremely arid, uninhabited desert region.

After the spaceplane moved the clouds away, the heavy rainfall that had occurred in the three provinces of Zhongzhou, Dongshan, and Yanzhao was reduced to light rain.

The military's actions effectively prevented a potentially devastating flood from occurring.

The floods will not happen again, and the troops who were on emergency combat preparations breathed a sigh of relief. If there were a way to prevent and control floods, who would be willing to use their own flesh and blood to resist the onslaught of floods?

The bigwigs in the disaster prevention office, seeing how the flood was averted thanks to the extremely rapid and tireless efforts of seven aerospace fighters, were filled with an indescribable excitement.

Over the Taklamakan Desert, the clouds are thickening and the amount of water vapor is increasing, raising the intensity of the heavy rain to another level.

As the rainfall increased in the desert, it eventually converged on the desert floor, forming a massive flood. Fortunately, the deserts chosen were all uninhabited areas.
