"Brother Tianhun, is the asteroid really going to hit the earth?" Qi Yue asked abruptly. His injuries have improved a lot since he came back, but it will take at least two days to completely drive away the sharp energy of the Spear of Athena.
"Yes." Tianhun agreed first, then immediately reacted and said in a voiceless voice: "You, how do you know? This is top secret."
Qi Yue sighed secretly in his heart. It seems that his status in the Yanhuang Republic is still far from comparable to that of Yu Mu in Greece! They informed them immediately, but now they still have to hide it.
"How do you know? I can't tell you, but is it true?" Qi Yue said in a deep voice.
Tianhun nodded solemnly and said: "No matter how you learned it, it is indeed true. An asteroid will enter the earth's atmosphere in thirty-seven days. Judging from its current trajectory, Look, it happened to hit our earth. Moreover, the location is very scary, it is the Pacific Ocean. If the asteroid hit the Pacific Ocean, then, although it is only one-seventy-seventh the size of the earth, the powerful impact force will definitely make the earth Deviating from its own orbit will also cause all living things on the earth to become extinct due to this devastating disaster. One in seventy! It is not much smaller than the moon. Can you imagine?"
Qi Yue would rather Yu Mu had deceived him again than know the fact, but now the fact is before his eyes.
"What should we do now? How are Yanhuang prepared to respond?"
Tianhun smiled bitterly and said: "How else can we deal with it? Heads of countries are now in close consultation. This is no longer a problem for one country, but a problem for the entire human race. Within thirty-seven days. We must come up with effective countermeasures, otherwise , human civilization will be destroyed. There is only one feasible way now, and the only chance. That is to deflect the orbit of the asteroid. It will not coincide with the orbit of the earth. In that case, as long as it orbits from the earth, If it deviates from its position, it will not hit the earth. All problems will be solved. At present, the United States has sent a space exploration aircraft to fly in the direction of the asteroid. As soon as the composition of the asteroid is obtained, , the final preparations of various countries will begin immediately."
Qi Yue scratched his head and said: "I don't understand this, Brother Tianhun. You just need to tell me, how likely is it that we will cause this asteroid to deviate from its orbit?"
Tianhun looked at Qi Yue seriously and said: "I don't know. If the structure of this asteroid is very loose and the composition is not heavy metal, we are more than 70% sure. Otherwise, we are only 30% sure. The weapon with the most powerful attack power in the world is undoubtedly It is a nuclear bomb, but a large number of nuclear bombs explode, even in outer space. They cannot be too close to the earth, otherwise the shock wave will have a drastic impact on the earth's climate. Therefore, this earth bombing must be carried out in outer space. And the total number of nuclear bombs in various countries . There are about 15,000, but it is impossible to use them all, because the number of intercontinental missiles that can reach outer space is very rare. There are only about 400 in the world. Even if the whole world works together to work hard, in small Before the planet arrives, we can only collect at most 500 nuclear bombs to carry the most powerful nuclear bombs. Whether these 500 nuclear bombs can knock the asteroid out of orbit is the key to determining whether we can continue to survive."
Qi Yue frowned slightly. Said: "I seem to have heard that the total number of nuclear bombs in the world seems to be able to destroy the entire earth! How can an asteroid that is only one-seventieth of the size of the earth be unable to do anything?"
Tianhun rolled his eyes and said: "Boss, there is something wrong with your understanding. Destroying the earth means destroying all living things on the earth. The earth is shrouded in radiation. It does not mean that the earth is blown up. The earth is destroyed. So big, although the power of a nuclear bomb is not small, I am afraid it cannot penetrate the earth's crust. And asteroids and destroying the earth are completely different concepts. We must blow up it as much as possible, or make it deviate from the course. As for it What’s on the surface doesn’t have much to do with us. Now we just hope that the asteroid doesn’t contain too many heavy metals. Otherwise, it might really be over.”
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and said with some embarrassment: "I am illiterate, brother Tianhun. Now I have to wait. What does Admiral Ji mean by asking me to come back?"
Tianhun's expression changed and he said, "You'd better ask the general in person. It's not convenient for me to do this."
Soon, they had arrived at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The Tianhun car had a special pass and did not encounter any obstruction. When Tianhun brought Qi Yue to a hall, even Qi Yue's boldness could not help but be secretly surprised. There was a huge screen in the center of the hall, which displayed many things that Qi Yue could not understand. But what he recognized was the stars on the shoulders of those people standing in the hall, at least at the level of senior colonel. The majority of them had general stars, and they were obviously military leaders of the Yanhuang Republic. The expressions on everyone's faces were very solemn, and they were constantly discussing something with each other, making the whole hall seem a bit noisy.
Tianhun asked Qi Yue to stand there and wait for a while, and immediately went to find General Ji.
Qi Yue looked around, naturally he was very worried about the destruction of the earth, but even a strong man like him could not think that he could prevent the disaster caused by the asteroid with his own power. After all, no matter how powerful human power is, it is still limited and cannot compete with the entire universe. Now I just hope that all countries can unite to fight this disaster. Master, master, your prediction is too strong. The first wave of disasters will come in this way. What role can this unicorn of yours play
Not long after, Admiral Ji and Tianhun came over together. The old man's expression looked very solemn, and he seemed to have become a bit older. He looked at Qi Yue, forced out a smile, and said: "Let's go, follow. Let me come to the temporary conference room." He patted Qi Yue's shoulder cordially and led him to the temporary office set up by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Admiral Ji asked Tianhun to go out and guard, and no one was allowed to come in and disturb him without his order.
"Tianhun told me just now that he has told you the general situation." Admiral Ji said seriously.
Qi Yue nodded and said: "It's the ground. I already know it."
Admiral Ji said: "First of all, this matter must not be spread out. Now the whole matter is still strictly confidential, in order to avoid panic among the people."
Qi Yue said: "I understand. Don't worry. Uncle, why did you call me here?"
Admiral Ji sighed and said: "Originally, I did not advocate relying on you. However, as the owner of the Diamond Guardian Medal, when a national disaster strikes, you really need to step forward. The chairman consulted the State Council for its opinions. , decided to temporarily send you to the Yanhuang Soul to perform a special mission with the Yanhuang Soul."
Qi Yue said: "Uncle. I heard from Brother Tianhun that nuclear bombs are needed to solve the problem this time. So what can I do? You won't ask me to go to other countries to steal nuclear bombs. I think. In this face of all When human disaster strikes, those powerful countries will no longer be proud of themselves."
Admiral Ji nodded and said: "Yes, in the face of the coming disaster, all countries are currently united as never before. The United States, which has always been in a dominant position, is the most nervous. Not only did they fully disclose the extent of their detection and the number of nuclear bombs they possess , and also share their scientific and technological advantages with other countries. For the sake of the earth, it is to be able to survive this crisis. And the mission you are about to perform is extremely dangerous. I called you here today to ask for your opinion. If If you don’t want to, even if you lose these stars on your shoulders, I will try my best to fight for you.”
Qi Yue did not directly answer whether he agreed or not. He said calmly: "Uncle, what kind of mission is it? I need to know the specific situation before I can decide."
Admiral Ji said: "That's it. The number of intercontinental missiles in each country is very limited. Moreover, among these intercontinental missiles, the number that can actually bombard the asteroid at a sufficient distance is even rarer. There are a lot of them. The inability of nuclear bombs to exert their due power is our biggest problem now. Therefore, after consultations between countries, no matter what the composition of the asteroid is, we must make first-hand preparations. Since nuclear bombs cannot be used intercontinentally To launch a homing bomb, we must send out a spacecraft to detonate the nuclear bomb on the asteroid at a close range. The ejection of the spacecraft cannot be too close, because no matter how small the density of the asteroid is, it has its own unique characteristics. Due to the weak gravity, once the spacecraft is attracted, the power of the nuclear bomb may not be produced. Therefore, after consultations among various countries, it was decided to use manpower to trigger the explosion of the nuclear bomb. The United States developed a special device , can be worn by people and then launch nuclear bombs. In other words, this mission is for you to take a spaceship to outer space. After a certain distance from the asteroid, the spaceship will eject you. When the asteroid When it comes, you will launch the nuclear bombs loaded on your bodies to play a key role."
After hearing what Admiral Ji said, Qi Yue couldn't help but take a breath. Although Admiral Ji didn't say it clearly, he could understand it. This was obviously a suicidal attack! Using the body to launch a nuclear bomb, let alone whether it will be affected by the nuclear bomb due to the close distance, the various changes in the universe and the gravity generated by the asteroid are huge problems. This is no longer a matter of narrow escape. I am afraid that the chance of survival may not even be one in a thousand. However, this is also the only way to solve the problem at present.
Admiral Ji looked at Qi Yue's slightly changed expression and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Of course, if the intercontinental bomb search can successfully use the power of the nuclear bomb to deflect the asteroid, you don't need to take this next step. . However, we must be prepared for a rainy day. Our country’s number of nuclear bombs ranks third in the world. For the safety of the world, we have a duty to do so. Because the man-portable nuclear bomb weapon developed by the United States weighs more than five One hundred kilograms is definitely not what ordinary people can carry. Even among Yanhuang souls, only a few people can do it. Otherwise, you will not be considered. Qi Yue, please go back and think about it. Give me a clear answer within days."
Qi Yue smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Uncle, it doesn't take ten days. I will give you an answer now. I am willing to go."
These four simple words expressed Qi Yue's determination. Looking at his firm gaze, General Ji Changming's eyes couldn't help but moisten. This general who had served in the military all his life said with a trembling voice: "Qi Yue, you, Are you really willing to go? But, it is obvious that she... "
Qi Yue smiled lightly and said: "Uncle, before I set off, don't tell Mingming anything. Or, when the country needs it, all of us Zodiac Guardian Warriors are willing to give their lives for the country. The so-called skin will perish. General, if the earth is destroyed, we will not be the only ones to die. Besides, if we carry out this operation, we may not necessarily die, right? There is always a chance. I am willing to go, uncle, please tell me I will definitely report to the leader in charge of this operation before setting off."
Ji Changming suddenly stood up. His old age did not affect his straight body. He gave an extremely standard military salute to Qi Yue. Tears were shining in his eyes. Looking at Qi Yue, he was choked and speechless.
In fact, Qi Yue's worries are not very big. For others, such a task may really mean death, but for him, the chance of survival is much greater. After all, he is the powerful zodiac king. Even if a nuclear bomb exploded at his feet, it would not kill him. The only thing that can pose a threat to him is the environment in outer space. Judging from what Admiral Ji just described, it is obvious that this action of human body explosion can only be carried out after a certain distance from the earth. If the spacecraft does not come to pick them up in time after the mission is carried out, Qi Yue will not come back in time. I know whether it is possible for me to fly back. Even if I fly back, whether I can cross the atmosphere with my body's ability is a huge problem. That's all he's thinking about now.
When Qi Yue returned to Longyu Villa, it was already too late. In order to give himself more chances of survival, he specifically asked Tianhun for a lot of information about this asteroid. It is said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles. Yum. After consulting the information, he understood why the asteroid came so suddenly this time.
