Chapter 528: Near-Earth Asteroids

New York, Manhattan Island, Fifth Avenue. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dressed casually, Xu Xu was holding a drink in one hand and holding the hand of the woman next to him in the other, and was leisurely shopping.

It's been three days since the superstorm that nearly capsized the Princess Mary cruise ship was destroyed.

Three days earlier, the promise of a nuclear bomb had succeeded in annihilating the death-fueled superstorm to the point of oblivion. The Princess Mary, which was almost completely capsized in the stormy seas, was saved. The thousands of crew and passengers above don't have to go into the sea to feed the fish.

However, at that time, the Princess Mary had lost its power system and could only float on the surface of the sea waiting for rescue. Naturally, he had no interest in going back, and after clearing the storm, he teleported directly to New York.

As for the unfortunate ones who caused all this, none of the armed men who rushed onto the cruise ship and caused great damage were able to escape after several U.S. Navy warships approached. Although they put up fierce resistance, it was of little use.

As for the things on that ship, the promise no longer cares. His main focus was still on the haunting Grim Reaper.

I took a hard sip of Coke and looked up at the pure blue sky where the sun was shining. Xu Yu pinched his fingers and led the woman into the Louis Vuitton store on the side.

Today is the seventh day.

Since the last time he destroyed the storm, the Grim Reaper has never struck again, as if he had disappeared. Even if he promised to take the initiative to go to the danger zone to create opportunities for him, he did not make a move.

If it weren't for the promise that through the ring, he could understand that the Grim Reaper, who is a special energy body, was rapidly urging the energy to run, perhaps he would have thought that the Grim Reaper had dissipated.

Judging from the last time the Grim Reaper was able to easily launch a superstorm, the attack on the last day must have been extremely crazy.

The Grim Reaper is a special life form that exists in the form of energy, and is not a fool who runs exactly according to the program.

It must have known that the conventional way was completely invalid for the promise. Therefore, the Grim Reaper can only choose to take another path to try to open the passage to the world of the Grim Reaper. Otherwise, this infiltrated Grim Reaper is really going to die.

'Ding Ding Dong ~~~' Xu Yu sat on the sofa in the men's lounge area of the store with his legs crossed, and looked at the woman with a leisurely look when she was interested in choosing clothes. His phone rang suddenly.

"You're out?" It was Ellison who called, and the promised greeting was apt. Originally, they should have been waiting for rescue on the giant cruise ship at this time.

"Mr. Xu, I have something very important to tell you!" There was a hint of nervousness in Ellison's voice. It's real tension, not the kind that can be disguised.

"Huh?" Promise's heart fluttered, though he didn't think there would be anything big enough to affect him. However, his expression gradually became cautious: "What is it?" ”

"NASA has just issued the highest level of hazard warning." There seemed to be a tremor in Ellison's voice, "Apollo-type near-Earth asteroid number 1313DA Sykodi suddenly deviated from its original flight direction and was rushing towards Earth at high speed!" ”

Suddenly, a brilliant lightning flashed in the promise's mind!

He finally knew what the last crazy attack of the Grim Reaper was. I also understand why the Grim Reaper has not moved in the past few days. It turned out that he was preparing for this super attack!

"The near-Earth asteroid was not originally in orbit directly towards Earth, and NASA didn't pay much attention to it. But not long ago, NASA suddenly discovered that for unknown reasons, the asteroid had deviated from its original orbit and was accelerating towards the Earth! ”

Ellison was still quick to explain the promise: "NASA experts speculate that it may be because of gravity or something else. In short, this time it was a big trouble. ”

"Whew~~~" Xu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Then why are you looking for me?" Want me to save the planet? ”

A man who was sitting not far from Xu Promise who was also accompanying his female companion to go shopping, sitting on the sofa in the men's lounge area and silently playing with his mobile phone, raised his head and looked at Xu Promise in some surprise. His eyes were full of doubt.

"NASA says the asteroid is nearly two kilometers in diameter!" Ellison's tone was a little agitated, "If it hits Earth, it will bring a devastating crisis to our world!" ”

In fact, as long as an asteroid is more than one kilometer in diameter, it will pose a direct threat to the Earth and cause great destructive power.

And this asteroid, named after the bad-tempered goddess Sykodi, once hit the Earth. It may not lead to the complete demise of the modern world. However, super-explosions, earthquakes, tsunamis and climate change can also bring great disasters to the world.

If the diameter of the asteroid is larger, for example, more than 10 kilometers. That would bring devastating disaster to the world. It's like the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, which was actually only 9,600 meters in diameter.

Of course, maybe the Grim Reaper's power is not enough. Or maybe it's too much of a rush. This time, the asteroid mobilized by the Grim Reaper was just over a kilometer in diameter.

Perhaps far from the standard world with strong rules, the Grim Reaper has gradually become unscrupulous in the modern world. I don't care what the catastrophic consequences of such an attack will be.

The only drawback, though, is that it's running out of time.

"yes, I see." Xu Promise nodded, "For the sake of this is a crisis for all mankind, I will help this time." ”

The man not far from Xu Promise's side heard the promise words, and the disdain in his eyes became even stronger.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xian, who had been paying attention to the promise, had already come to his side when he put away his mobile phone, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's time to save the planet again."

"What are you looking at?!" A fashionably dressed woman approached the man who had overheard the promise and reached out and slammed the man's shoulder. looked at the man's line of sight, and just saw Xu Xian's fiery figure who had just walked out of the door.

The man turned around and saw a woman with a warm and angry face glaring at him. Hurriedly explained: "I just heard a megalomaniac say that he wants to save the earth. ”

"Hehe~~~" For the man's explanation, the woman just sneered.

The man carrying a large bag of loot followed the woman out of the door, while he was constantly explaining. But I was stunned to see a long row of special vehicles parked on the street in front of the Louis Vuitton store.

The large FBI logo on the doors and the many people wearing blue jackets with the FBI logo on their coats attracted everyone's attention.

What made this man even more stunned was that the man who was ashamed to say that he was going to save the earth had already sat in the first car at this time!

“...... Are you kidding?! "The man was really dumbfounded.

The convoy closed its doors, and then a shrill siren sounded, and it whistled out of the street.

Didn't wait for the man to come to his senses. A giant outdoor screen on a street corner not far away suddenly cut off a number of advertisements, and a serious-looking news anchor interjected an explosive message. An asteroid is rapidly approaching Earth!

'Smack! The many shopping bags that the man was carrying fell directly to the ground.

“...... Hold the grass!? ”

------

The news of the asteroid's rapid approach to Earth caused an uproar around the world. It was as if the end of the world was about to be faced overnight.

Fortunately, it happened too suddenly, and the time was too short. At the same time, major media outlets are constantly reporting that there is a way to deal with the crisis and reassure everyone. This did not cause a widespread storm.

Of course, none of that matters now. What matters is how this huge threat can be eliminated.

Because once this huge asteroid really hits the earth, the existing pattern will inevitably be completely destroyed.

Now that everyone is thinking about how to solve this crisis, many experts have been urgently summoned to discuss countermeasures.

Combined with the current power of various countries, the best way is to directly use high-powered nuclear bombs to blast asteroids at fixed points, so as to push them away from their original orbital positions.

After all, such a large celestial body with a diameter of more than a kilometer is not something that a nuclear bomb can blow to pieces. The power of a nuclear bomb in the vacuum of space is far less powerful than in the atmosphere.

Another point is that even if an asteroid can be blown up, the scattered fragments can still pose a huge threat to the world. In contrast, derailing the asteroid is the best option.

The speed and distance of the celestial bodies flying in space are extremely astonishing. Even the slightest deviation can make a completely different difference.

There is a way, but trouble also comes out.

That is, how to send a nuclear bomb to an asteroid that is moving at a speed of more than ten kilometers per second? And also to put it on a specific location? With the level of science and technology in the modern world, this is almost an impossible task.

If you can't do it in a conventional way, you can only think about using unconventional methods.

In this emergency, the strongest Americans took over the task of defending the world. And they knew that there was one person who might be able to do something that seemed impossible.

That man is Iron Man.

There was silence on the moon, not even a speck of air. Armstrong's footprints are still visible. If nothing else, these footprints will be there for millions of years.

At this time, when you look from the moon into the space with your back to the earth, you can see that a huge asteroid is whizzing through the dark and dark space at an angle and in a way that defies the laws of physics, and is speeding towards the blue planet in the distance.

The Grim Reaper is really ruthless this time, and it wants to destroy this world directly!
