Chapter 278: Panic

Three asteroids hundreds of meters in diameter will hit the Earth in three hours, and mankind is facing the most severe crisis in history, and all major countries are the first to learn the news.

At this critical juncture of human survival, all the major countries of the earth are acting with unprecedented efficiency. For a few hours, it was completely too late to evacuate or dig a bunker, and there was only one way to survive this catastrophe -

That is, blow it up!

Use humanity's ultimate weapon to blow up those three asteroids!

The joint video conference was prepared within half an hour after receiving the news, and the high-level leaders of various countries were in place.

"I believe that everyone already knows the matter, and now I invite you to speak, please be as brief as possible. The Secretary-General, who had convened the crowd, acted as the temporary presiding officer and motioned for everyone to begin.

"There is only one way we can do the asteroid crisis, and that is to use high-yield weapons to blow it to pieces!"

"Yes, that's the only way. ”

"Strategic weapons must be launched in advance and intercepted as far away from the Earth as possible, otherwise the scattered asteroid fragments will still be captured by the Earth's gravity, causing us great losses, not to mention intercepting the nuclear radiation from the explosion at close range, which will also have a great impact on the Earth!"

"There are very few large-yield weapons, and we need to contribute all the weapons in reserve. ”

"Yes, the time is too short, we don't know the structure of the asteroid, and in order to ensure that it is completely shattered, no one can hide it, and it is necessary to use a saturation attack. It doesn't matter if you're wasteful, the most terrible thing is not achieving your goals. ”

"We, Mizhou, contributed 8 10-million-ton strategic weapons!"

"Europa contributes 5 goals!"

"Polar bears contribute 10!"

"Mid-summer contributed 20 pieces!"

Everyone looked sideways slightly, but at this critical juncture, no one paid too much attention, and after a brief discussion, the Secretary-General stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a catastrophe for our human race, and it is up to you to survive it safely!"

After the meeting was dismissed, all countries acted with the fastest speed and the highest efficiency, including the unlocking of strategic weapons, the preparation for launch, and so on.

As for the time, place, and method of interception, at the same time as the meeting begins, it has been worked out by the top scientists to ensure that the optimal plan is formed. Move the asteroid interception site as far as possible without wasting a single ton of equivalent.

At the same time, almost all the world's large optical telescopes have pointed their lens barrels in the direction of the three asteroids, searching for targets. Since the routes of the three asteroids have been mastered, and the telescope can be almost completely focused when the azimuth is determined, even if they are far away and the interstellar space is very dark, an hour later, a telescope with the highest sensitivity in the southern hemisphere has captured a faint figure of the target.

If it was a simple optical telescope, it would be impossible to observe an asteroid with a diameter of several hundred meters at such a distance, but this telescope is not simple, not only is it engraved with a large number of amplification rune combinations on the lens tube, but even each lens is polished from the purest Yuanli crystal, which can maximize the magnification of light.

After capturing the target, as the asteroid approached, three faint shadows could be discerned from the first faint shadow, and the general outline could be slowly seen after that.

The human elite is trying to observe as many as they can about to threaten the three asteroids that threaten Earth.

At the same time, all the high-yield weapons have also completed all the pre-launch preparations, waiting for the launch command, and the upper echelons of the earth are holding their breath, looking at the three asteroids that are becoming clearer and clearer in the picture, waiting for the last moment to come.

It's just that as the picture becomes clearer and clearer, everyone finds that there is something strange about these three asteroids...... If I really want to describe it, it looks like the outline is somewhat similar, and the shape is relatively regular. Before the scientists could make further analysis, an unexpected piece of news caused headaches for the top management.

Because, just now, the news broke on the Internet that an asteroid was about to hit the earth. And it's illustrated, well-written, and full of evidence, making it hard to believe that it's pure rumor. With the Internet, the news spread almost instantly throughout the entire planet.

In fact, at this time, most people don't believe it, after all, evidence can be faked, not to mention this kind of catastrophe related to global mankind, everyone will not easily believe it. After all, from beginning to end, the official news of various countries has never been reported, and although the news is very hot, so far, everyone is just discussing it as a joke.

But soon, the trajectory of the asteroid, the time of the impact with the Earth, and even the blurry photographs, spread. What's even more terrifying is that some large private telescopes actually saw three asteroids according to this direction, and by calculating their orbits, they found that the facts and rumors were not bad at all.

At this moment, the entire public opinion has completely exploded!

Not only was public opinion detonated, but in a short period of time, large-scale demonstrations broke out all over the world, demanding that the official release of the truth.

"We want the truth!"

"Protest! Protest!"

"Refuse to be deceived!"

"Hypocritical politicians, you are committing a crime!"

Panic is spreading, chaos is spreading.

At a time when the world's top brass is desperately responding to the asteroid crisis, the chaos caused by leaked information is like a fire in one's own backyard, and if not dealt with in time, it may burn itself. This situation must not be left unchecked, and the authorities have no choice but to stand up and respond.

After a short period of preparation, in the various press conference halls, through the live broadcast channels of all the media, the speakers of various countries released the same script almost simultaneously: "First of all, we need to tell everyone that the event of the asteroid about to hit the Earth is real, and the reason why it was not announced in advance is to prevent panic and chaos. But please rest assured that for this crisis, the high-level leaders of various countries have already made targeted arrangements, and we have the ability and confidence to deal with this crisis and protect the safety of everyone. Please stay calm, do not believe rumors, and avoid causing mass panic and chaos. ”

"In addition, in order to make everyone aware of the situation, we will broadcast the response to the asteroid crisis in real time to win the trust of all people!"

The response of the high-level completely confirmed the rumors that the asteroid hit the earth. For the first time, human beings found that they were so close to the crisis of life and death, and for the first time, they felt that even if science and technology had developed to this point, and human beings still had extraordinary powers, they did not dare to say that they could face it calmly when such a big crisis came.

Fortunately, the diameter of the asteroid is not large, and generally speaking, as long as it does not reach the kilometer level, with the ultimate weapon mastered by humans, it can be intercepted.

But the high-level officials deliberately ignored a detail, that is, the speed of these three asteroids is too fast. The faster the speed, the harder it is to intercept, but the destructive force will also increase exponentially after hitting the Earth.

Unlike the speakers who stood in front of the stage and calmly told everyone not to panic, stay calm, and the official has every confidence to protect everyone, looking at the asteroid that is getting closer and clearer in the picture, all the high-level people dare not relax for a moment.

Chance, only once.

Interception must be accurate, and if one and a half are missed, it will be equally catastrophic for humanity.
