The next day, which was the seventh day after the launch of the rockets, the space shuttles of various countries had arrived in the established orbit above the moon yesterday.
Today was the most crucial moment.
The meteorite was very fast, so the space shuttle couldn't land in front of it. If that was the case, then the space shuttle would only end up being destroyed by a meteorite.
To catch up with the fast-flying meteorite from behind, the space shuttle's propulsion system alone was not enough. It had to rely on the moon's gravity to accelerate.
The space shuttles of various countries only had one chance to board the meteorite.
That was to use the moon's gravity and push the rocket when the meteorite passed by the moon to make the space shuttle fly around the moon and behind the meteorite. After completing this action, the space shuttle would fly to the back of the meteorite.
If they were lucky, the moon's gravity would suck away the large number of small meteorites behind the 'Apocalypse' meteorite. Then, the space shuttles of various countries would be able to land on the 'Apocalypse' meteorite very smoothly.
No matter how many space shuttles landed on the Apocalypse meteorite, as long as two bomb teams buried the nuclear bombs 800 feet below the meteorite, they would be able to destroy it.
Today was the day the 'apocalyptic' meteorite passed by the moon. At the same time, it was also the only chance for the space shuttles of various countries to land on meteorites.
In the past half a month, almost everyone's home television or computer was broadcasting the national live broadcast of the meteorite explosion. Even if they did not watch the live broadcast at all times, the television or computer would always be playing the national live broadcast.
Today was the most crucial moment. If more than two space shuttles landed on the meteorite, the chances of successfully destroying the 'Apocalypse' meteorite would be greatly increased.
Therefore, at this critical moment, almost everyone in the world was watching the live broadcast of their respective governments. Even the young couples who had been teasing each other for half a month stopped.
Through the satellite broadcast, they could see that the 'Apocalypse' meteorite was approaching the moon.
Almost at the same time, all 14 space shuttles accelerated and began to orbit the moon.
At this moment, 90% of the world's people were watching the official live broadcast seriously. The bullet comments in Wang Wei's live broadcast room had already stopped.
From the official live broadcast, the 'Apocalypse' meteorite had already arrived next to the moon, and the space shuttles of various countries had also flown to the back of the moon. At this speed, all the space shuttles would have a chance to land on the 'Apocalypse' meteorite.
Soon, the space shuttles flew out of the dark side of the moon. Then, with the help of the moon's gravity and the rocket, they began to chase after the meteorite.
However, not long after, everyone's hearts instantly tightened.
This was because, according to the video feed from the space shuttle, there were a large number of smaller meteorites following behind the 'Apocalypse' meteorite. Moreover, those small meteorites were not static. The small meteorites would collide with each other from time to time. After one meteorite was knocked away, it would collide with another meteorite.
Based on the current situation, it would be very difficult for the space shuttles of various countries to land safely on the 'Apocalypse' meteorite.
However, humanity had no way out. If they didn't destroy this 'apocalyptic' meteorite, then all humans on Earth would perish.
The members of the Meteorite Detonation Team selected by the governments of various countries boarded the space shuttle with the heart of death. Therefore, even if the road ahead was a dead end, they would continue to move forward without hesitation. At the same time, he would also do his best to complete the tasks entrusted by the country and the people.
The two space shuttles of Huaxia flew toward the Apocalypse meteorite without any hesitation. The space shuttles of other countries followed closely behind.
Faced with such dense obstacles, all the space shuttle pilots could do was try their best to avoid all the small meteorites.
Although the materials used in the space shuttle were the best, it would not be too damaged if it brushed against some meteorites the size of ping pong balls.
However, once it collided with a meteorite the size of a basketball, it was likely to cause immeasurable damage to the space shuttle. It wasn't impossible for the space shuttle to be destroyed.
As for launching missiles to destroy the small meteorites in front of them…Don't joke around. Instead of doing that, it would be better to rely on driving skills to avoid meteorites. Launching a missile might not necessarily destroy the meteorite in front of it, but the shrapnel and shock waves produced were more likely to damage the space shuttle itself.
Unless the space shuttle was equipped with high-power energy weapons. Unfortunately, there was none. Therefore, the space shuttle pilots could only show off their skills as experienced drivers.
However, not all experienced drivers were truly experienced drivers.
While passing through the dense asteroid belt behind the Apocalypse meteorite, space shuttles kept crashing.
The Indian space shuttle crashed, the Japanese space shuttle crashed, the French space shuttle crashed, the Russian space shuttle crashed, the British space shuttle crashed...
Space shuttles crashed one after another, shocking all the humans around the world.
Fortunately, there were still a few space shuttles that successfully landed on the 'Apocalypse' meteorite.
There were two ships from China, two from the United States, and one each from Russia and Germany.
Seeing that six space shuttles had successfully landed on the 'Apocalypse' meteorite, everyone watching the live broadcast heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, Wang Wei had also completed the assembly of his super plasma cannon.
