However, as a physics student, I really can't bear to complain about the so-called "Zeus plan". . .
The first is the delivery method. According to the film, it should be a free fall, but imagine what would happen if the astronauts in the spacecraft in space orbit held a pencil in their hand and let go. . . Of course the pencil is floating in the air! Therefore, after the tungsten rod was released by the mechanical arm, it should be relatively stationary with the spacecraft and continue to fly around the earth in orbit! I believe that the tungsten rod should not have its own braking and deceleration measures. After all, it is said that it is a free fall.
The second is delivery time. The film shows the tragic scene of London being destroyed by tungsten rods. Satan calmly pressed the launch button during the summit, and the deadly tungsten rod fell from the sky. But London is not on the equator, which means that the satellite aimed at London is definitely not a geostationary satellite. Then there is only one place in its orbit where the free fall can be guaranteed to hit London just after the launch. This has very high precision requirements for the delivery time. Once that point is missed, the tungsten rod will be delivered to a place 108,000 miles away. It will take quite a while to hit the target again. Satan, your timing is so accurate, boy.
How high the energy of the tungsten rod can be, this is also debatable. In the film, it is said that the final velocity is 8 times that of the bullet (the specifics are not clear), so it is calculated according to 10000m/s. We have actually seen the size of the spaceship in the film, so it is assumed that a tungsten rod weighs 10^2 tons. This kinetic energy is not as powerful as the atomic bomb. What's more, the kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the ten tungsten rods and the spacecraft in orbit are all provided by the fuel combustion of the booster rocket, so the energy of one tungsten rod is the most. The entire rocket explodes on the ground at 1/10 of the energy. Director, is your rocket fuel storage more than 10 nuclear bombs! If so, wouldn't it be better to just throw that rocket directly into London!
Finally, let's complain, why does this Zeus plan to design a self-destruct button, bastard! ! ! Why don't you understand the truth that you won't die if you don't die! ! ! You see, if someone else caught the handle, it was all for nothing.
Also, where did the first generation of invisibility cloaks, metal exoskeletons and those perverted equipment go! ! Don't you think that mass production of fireflies is more reliable than launching a spaceship? ! !
Although there are many grooves, the film is still as I said at the beginning, there are bright spots, and it does a good job of a popcorn action movie. Last but not least, pray for the people of London who have lunch. . .
