Planet Escape

Chapter 555: The Great Disaster Begins

"Chief, the interception plan is ready to start, please authorize the activation of low-Earth orbit defense weapons." In the large meteorite interception command center, the person in charge of the plan said to Xiang Gan.

"Okay, start the authorization operation." Xiang Gan nodded and said.

After the triple inspection of iris, voice and dynamic password, the low-Earth orbit defense weapon was activated.

However, other people in the command hall did not notice that when the person in charge of the plan and Xiang Gan were talking, there was a look of helplessness in the eyes of both sides.

Because Xiang Gan and the person in charge of the plan knew that this large meteorite could not be stopped at all, so no matter what they did now, it would be useless, but in order to give an explanation to the people, they had to do so.

This gave Xianggan and the others a feeling that taking off their pants and farting was superfluous. But now it is necessary to do so much, which makes people very helpless.

After Xianggan's authorized operation was completed, icons of seventeen defensive weapons launching missiles simultaneously in low-Earth orbit were displayed on the big screen.

The warheads of these missiles are super-large-yield nuclear bombs, each of which is of the billion-ton level. Under normal circumstances, with these weapons, it is completely possible to destroy this large meteorite flying towards the earth.

However, under the guidance of the rules of the universe, even Regteros could not destroy this large meteorite with a special mission.

Many staff members in the command hall looked nervously at the big screen. They all hoped that the seventeen ultimate weapons of mankind could destroy these large meteorites that could make mankind extinct.

If this large meteorite is really allowed to hit the earth, then the simulation result of scientists is that humans will disappear on the earth just like dinosaurs.

However, in the entire command hall, there are more than a dozen people with different expressions on their faces. Most of these people are high-level officials of the Earth Federation, including Xiang Gan.

"Hit the target." The moment the trajectories of the seventeen nuclear bombs overlapped with the trajectories of the large meteorite on the big screen, the interception results were displayed on the big screen.

boom! ! !

"Successful, we succeeded..." Most of the staff in the hall cheered loudly, they were in the suppressed anger of the few minutes just now. Feel the approach of death.

Now that the interception was successful, they couldn't suppress their joy,

Cheered excitedly.

After all, according to the calculations of the Academy of Sciences, as long as these seventeen nuclear bombs concentrate on large meteorites. Then there will be a 90% chance of crushing this large meteorite, and the fragments of the meteorite will not have any impact on the earth.

But before they were happy for a while, the harsh siren sounded again in the command hall, and the mark of the large meteorite appeared on the big screen. Already moving on toward Earth.

All the people who were cheering just now were dumbfounded. They all looked at the big screen in disbelief, completely unable to imagine such a result.

"Immediately calculate the volume of the meteorite after it is intercepted, and at the same time calculate whether there is a possibility of a second interception." Xiang Gan spoke at this time.

Hearing Xiang Gan's words, everyone remembered their work, immediately sat back in their seats, and began to calculate the data after the meteorite was bombed by the nuclear bomb.

A few minutes later, a researcher said with a dead face: "The mass of the meteorite has only decreased by 11.5%, but its volume has decreased by 42%, and its speed has decreased by 6.7%. There is no possibility of a second interception.

Because the core of this meteorite is a high-density material, there is no damage under the attack of a nuclear bomb, and the atmosphere will not reduce its volume much. With its current mass, after entering the atmosphere, the speed will reach Mach 33.

According to the kinetic energy formula, the force produced by this meteorite impact on the earth is equivalent to the explosion effect produced by 97 billion-ton equivalent nuclear bombs..."

After calculating the data, the entire hall was silent.

There was a look of despair on everyone's face, even Xiang Gan. In order to make the performance more realistic, they also showed desperate expressions in cooperation.

Time passed by every minute and every second, the meteorite on the big screen entered the atmosphere, and then... nothing more.

Large meteorites seem to have disappeared. After entering the atmosphere, it was never seen again.

This made the staff waiting for the impact in the command hall a little uncomfortable, and they couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Two minutes later, the Cosmos and Astrophysical Research Center sent data that the large meteorite had burned up in the atmosphere, and not even a single fragment fell on the surface of the earth.

This weird result. Just confused everyone. With their brains, they couldn't figure out why a meteorite that could not be destroyed by a nuclear bomb would burn up in the atmosphere. This is unscientific.

Xiang Gan didn't care if the subject was unscientific, he winked at the person in charge.

"The head of the report, the Atmospheric Environment Research Center has sent a message that dust of unknown material has fallen into the earth, and there is an unknown virus in the dust. The Institute of Life Sciences is conducting research on this virus, and there is no result yet." The person in charge saw the project After staring dryly, he immediately typed a few times at the computer, and then said seriously to Xiang Gan.

"In the name of the Earth Federation Government, notify all departments and the public to immediately transfer to the emergency defense base, and no one is allowed to be exposed to the air." Xiang Gan said seriously immediately.

"Yes, chief." The senior officials of the Earth Federation in the command hall replied at the same time.

Then, the radios in all cities on the entire earth began to broadcast this information, and the road commanders who had been prepared for a long time were immediately in place, and began to guide all the people into the emergency defense bases of the cities.

It can be said that the whole routine is a thousand times the same as the drill. Even though the people were flustered after listening to the broadcast, there was no crowding or stampede. Everyone entered the emergency defense base under command.

In just five hours, the cities on the surface became empty cities. All the people in the city were transferred to the defense base, and only the federal soldiers were still active in the city at this time.

What these soldiers did was not to perform other tasks, but to search for all life support materials in the city and transport these materials into the defense base.

Xiang Gan and a group of senior officials of the Earth Federation looked at the empty city through surveillance equipment, feeling an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

If they had such organizational efficiency when they encountered a catastrophe back then, so many people would not have died at that time.

Xiang Gan felt a lot about this. Even if he knew that a catastrophe was coming, he could only save his family and friends, but not many people. But now, with the resources of the Earth Federation, the preparations started five years ago, but now they can save everyone.

This is the gap between personal power and racial power, and the resources mastered by the two sides are too different.

"Okay, everyone, get busy. It's best not to sleep tonight. After all, when evolution begins, being awake is more effective than falling asleep." Xiang Gan said to the reborn Earth Federation elite. (To be continued.)
