In the next two days, Chu Tianjiang devoted himself to personal training, mainly to familiarize himself with the problems that may arise in the Doomsday Warrior system in extreme situations, as well as to master the methods of dealing with various problems. Because the training is carried out in a virtual environment, the program can be used to choose under what circumstances and what kind of failure occurs, so that Chu Tianjiang can master the solution to the failure as soon as possible.

The high-intensity training consumed most of Chu Tianjiang's energy, leaving him with no time to take care of it.

It's just that in the past two days, the world outside has undergone earth-shaking changes.

On August 26, at 8:30 a.m. EST, NASA was the first to announce to the world that the asteroid with the public number 2016A12 had been measured at a speed of 350 kilometers per second, and its orbit was pointing exactly at the Earth, with a collision probability of more than 50 percent.

Although it is not 100%, in terms of probability, this is already a high probability event.

In the next few hours, the national astronomical and cosmonautical agencies of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and Italy made similar announcements. At 8 a.m. Beijing time on the 27th, the National Astronomical Observatories of China also announced similar news, followed by Australia.

At this moment, the whole world is boiling.

At 10 p.m. Eastern Time on the 26th, US President O'Brien was interviewed by reporters at the White House, announcing that he would hold consultations with leaders of major countries as soon as possible.

At this time, the Planetary Defense Council Summit of Heads of State was ready.

After an interview with reporters, O'Brien will chair a summit to discuss and resolve the two main issues left over from the meeting of the chiefs of general staff.

According to the arrangement, the heads of the countries of the other three institutions of the Planetary Defense Council will also participate in the summit.

This is the second summit held after the establishment of the Planetary Defense Council, and the first time it was held on the day of its establishment, and since then, even if it encounters major troubles, such as the contradictions and confrontations caused by the negotiation and signing of memorandums of understanding between various member states, the heads of state have not bothered the heads of state to come forward to resolve them.

At this time, Luo Jinyong also got the calculation results sent by Burke.

Of course, not the final result, but the results of a comparative analysis of dozens of coordinates, and the final result had to be done by a different set of programs.

Because he was busy preparing for the summit summit, Burke did not stare at Luo Jinyong.

With the accurate analysis of the data, it only took a few minutes to complete the most difficult calculations.

Seeing the numbers that appeared on the computer screen, Luo Jinyong was neither surprised nor relieved, because it was completely expected by him.

The 2014X1 asteroid disintegrates along the luminous site, generating 1,135 fragments!

This is exactly the number of all super-nuclear warheads, including those secretly created by China and Russia!

Although he had expected it for a long time, Luo Jinyong's mood was still a little low. Every move of humanity is under the control of extraterrestrial civilizations, and humans know very little about extraterrestrial civilizations. In such a one-way and transparent war, is there still any chance or hope for mankind?

Luo Jinyong felt a little sad, he really wanted to see the expressions of O'Brien and Stark after learning about this.

Over the past 20 years or so, several local wars led by the United States or launched by itself have been conducted in a one-way and transparent manner. Perhaps, the Yankees understand better what the consequences of such a war will be. The difference is that this time it is not the United States that sees the opponent clearly but does not let the opponent see it clearly.

Of course, Luo Jinyong couldn't be happy.

Just as in the Gulf War, the US military did not distinguish between Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis, in the upcoming war, extraterrestrial civilizations will not distinguish between Americans, Chinese, Russians and Jews, etc., and will only regard the entire human civilization as enemies.

Pessimism turned into pessimism, and after dealing with some things, Luo Jinyong went to the conference room of the Scientific Advisory Board.

Ten heads of state and 10 chiefs of general staff have been seated, seven of the 10 commissioners have arrived, and eight of the 10 chief scientific advisers have arrived.

Five minutes later, all the personnel arrived, and Zhang Xiaogang was the last to arrive.

Unlike the other three agencies, the Security Liaison Office does not have a head and the 10 Commissioners have the same status and authority. Primarily, the Security Liaison Office primarily serves the Council of Chiefs of Staff, and the Commissioners are intelligence officers directly assigned by the Chief of Staff.

After the meeting began, Zhang Xiaogang was first responsible for introducing the situation.

Of course, this is a cliché.

The 10 heads of state engaged in a heated debate over two main issues, namely, whether to make the Planetary Defense Council public and whether to impose military control if necessary.

Luo Jinyong only has the qualifications to observe and has no right to speak.

This is a political topic and has nothing to do with scientific advisors.

After nearly four hours of arguing, O'Brien finally relented and agreed to disclose the existence of the Planetary Defense Council to the globe at the appropriate time, only with the proviso that it must be supported by the Council of Chiefs of Staff before that.

Next, the 10 leaders began to debate the second topic.

This time, O'Brien refused to budge in any way, insisting that it was not up to the Planetary Defense Council to decide whether or not the United States would conduct military control.

To put it bluntly, the internal affairs of the United States are not interfered by the Planetary Defense Council.

O'Brien wants to remain independent in domestic affairs, and other heads of state are naturally unwilling to make compromises, let alone let their own domestic affairs be controlled by the United States.

After six hours of debate, the 10 heads of state finally recognized the importance of "reserving differences".

Since there is no way to seek common ground, we can only find differences.

The final decision was that the 10 Member States would decide for themselves whether and when to impose military control, depending on their national circumstances; The Planetary Defense Council has only imposed a non-impactful constraint that member states need to inform other countries at the meeting of the chiefs of general staff four hours in advance before they carry out military control, so that other countries can prepare accordingly in a timely manner.

At this point, the meeting had been going on for ten hours.

Although the energy of the ten heads of state was very high, the ten-hour meeting also made them unbearable, several older heads of state began to take nutritional medicines, and the 74-year-old Italian Prime Minister Del Vecchio even wore oxygen masks.

Fortunately, most of the heads of state are around 60 years old, and they are still able to hold on.

After a short break of fifteen minutes, it was Luo Jinyong's turn to appear.

"Leaders, let's now turn to the third and most important topic." The meeting was presided over by Admiral Stark. The 10 heads of state are rarely involved in the work of the Planetary Defense Council, and it is up to a well-informed and authoritative person to chair the meeting. "Before the meeting, I received a report from the Scientific Advisory Board and asked Professor Luo Jinyong to make a specific explanation."

Luo Jinyong didn't get up, and in the video conference call, there was not so much etiquette. "What is happening now stems from a major change five days ago, when the 2014X1 asteroid began to glow. This is just a layman's saying, to be precise, the asteroid has an internal cold light source. This change disrupted the deployment we had previously made. We had to make adjustments and take a lot of emergency measures. ”

Because this was only a necessary introduction, Luo Jinyong did not go into the topic and quickly moved on to the topic.

"As soon as he discovered the anomaly, Professor Burke called on the Hubble-2 space telescope and took a large number of very important high-resolution photographs."

Burke looked a little embarrassed, he only did his job.

"Based on these photos, we found that the light emitted by the 2014X1 asteroid did not appear only at the edges, but on the entire surface, in an irregular linear distribution. Using the three-dimensional configuration of the asteroid's front, we obtained the three-dimensional coordinates of the convergence point of the linear light source, and then compared and analyzed it, and came to an extremely important conclusion. Luo Jinyong paused and said with a stern expression, "That is, if the 2014X1 asteroid disintegrates along the linear light source, it will produce 1,128 fragments!" ”

"Let me make a special note, in total, we have built one thousand one hundred and twenty-eight super-nuclear warheads."

As soon as Stark said this, the ten heads of state, who had been a little dazed before, immediately became extremely shocked, and the other scientific advisors were no exception.

"Because we didn't take a photo of the back side of the asteroid and didn't know anything about the back side of the asteroid, this result was obtained after analyzing and comparing the existing data, and there was an error of about 10." Luo Jinyong knew it in his heart, so he didn't say it to death. "Even if the error is taken into account, we have enough reason to believe that this is definitely not a coincidence, but more like the result of some external control."

"What external factors?" O'Brien asked.

It was a very low-level question, and after saying it, O'Brien regretted it.

"If that's the case, does that mean that Operation Courage has only half the chance of success?" Chinese President Li Xingbang asked.

After Japan's exit, Li Xingbang is the youngest of the 10 heads of state, now 57 years old. Three years ago, when he was elected president, Li Xingbang never imagined that in just one year, he would face the most dangerous challenge in China's history. Fortunately, over the past two years, Li Xingbang has proven that he is an excellent crisis leader. In addition to appointing the talented Yang Fanglie as chief of the General Staff and taking full charge of China's responsibilities on the Planetary Defense Council, he has also done his utmost to safeguard national interests in the negotiations for the signing of memorandums of understanding with Western countries led by the United States. Two years ago, if it weren't for Li Xingbang's hardline stance at the first summit, China would not have been able to win 15 percent of the voting rights. It was also with Li Xingbang's full support that Yang Fanglie showed a tough attitude at the meeting of the chiefs of the General Staff and united with Sergeyev to defeat Stark.

"So to speak, but there has to be a premise, that is, all interception operations are successful."

"The point is, what does this coincidence, let's call it a coincidence, for the time being?" Four-time political strongman Pechkin was elected president of Russia.

Of the ten heads of state, Puchkin is the longest-serving one. Although Puchkin's approval rating has fallen to 53 percent after his fourth election as Russian president, no one can deny that Russia has changed dramatically during his time in power. Relatively speaking, Puchkin is also the one who has directly participated in and intervened in the Planetary Defense Council of the ten heads of state. For example, in addition to directly appointing Sergeyev as Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, he also personally appointed the chief scientific adviser and commissioner. In the other nine countries, the Chief of the General Staff appoints a commissioner, who then elects the chief scientific adviser.

"It's both a bad thing and a good thing for us."

"Really?" Puchkin was clearly not satisfied with Luo Jinyong's reply.

"The bad thing is that we have only one chance, that is, we must ensure the overall success of Operation Courage, and we must not waste a single super-nuclear warhead, but unfortunately, Operation Courage is based on a huge command and control system, and with more than 1,100 interceptions each, even with all its best efforts, there is no guarantee of a 100 percent success rate. If it fails even once, humanity will be wiped out. ”

Luo Jinyong did not explain in too much detail, this is the responsibility of scientific advisers of various countries.

The mass of the 2014X1 asteroid is 50 billion tons, and if it splits into more than 1,100 fragments, even if it only accounts for half of the total mass, it means that the average mass of these fragments is as high as 20 million tons, and to destroy the entire human civilization, only one piece of debris with a mass of one million tons will need to hit the earth. In other words, even if the total mass of the debris is 2.5 percent of the asteroid, the average mass of the debris is as high as one million tons.

"What's the good side?" O'Brien changed the subject.

"Although there is no direct evidence, a 'soft landing' is more likely. To be more precise, extraterrestrial civilizations do not deal with humanity with devastating means. ”

"For what?"

"If extraterrestrial civilizations were intent on destroying humanity by destroying the planet, there would be no such coincidence, and we simply cannot cope with it."

O'Brien sighed, this is indeed true.

"You mean, extraterrestrial civilizations want to get a complete Earth?"

"To be precise, an earth with an intact ecosystem. In the event of a direct impact, even a single piece of debris with a mass of one million tons, the Earth's ecosystem would be devastated, and more than 99 percent of the species would become extinct within tens of hours. Such a catastrophe occurred once 65 million years ago, resulting in the complete extinction of the dinosaurs that dominated the earth for nearly 200 million years, and only a few species such as birds and small mammals were spared. In the event of a similar catastrophe again, it will take a million or even millions of years for the earth to evolve into a complete ecosystem again, depending on the earth's own ability to recover. Extraterrestrial civilizations may not have such good patience. ”

"Isn't there any other possibility, such as the purpose of extraterrestrial civilizations, to obtain the resources of the earth."

"What resources?" Luo Jinyong immediately asked rhetorically. "The material resources on earth are not rare in the universe at all. Minerals? It is found on Mars, Venus and Mercury, and on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Liquid water? At least we've found liquid water on one of Jupiter's moons, and the amount is much more than on Earth. Besides, with the technology of extraterrestrial civilizations, it is not difficult to turn ice into water at all, and in the solar system, in addition to planets and moons, there are many comets made of ice crystals. There is only one of the most precious resources on earth: the ecosystems that sustain life. This is not only the only one in the solar system, but also the only one in the star system we have detected. So far, we have not found a planet like Earth. ”

O'Brien sighed again and didn't bother again.

"According to your meaning, an extraterrestrial civilization will descend on Earth and then exterminate humanity through a war?" Puchkin spoke again.

Luo Jinyong nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid we won't even have the slightest chance of winning."

As soon as Puchkin said this, not only Luo Jinyong frowned, but the other people attending the meeting also frowned.

"Let's not forget that nuclear weapons can destroy everything, and there is another weapon that can only lead to the destruction of humanity, namely genetic weapons. If extraterrestrial civilizations knew everything about us, they would definitely attack the genes of human beings and use the genetic defects of human beings to exterminate human beings. ”

Luo Jinyong had thought of this a long time ago, but he was reluctant to mention it because it would only make people despair.

Puchkin raised the topic, which immediately caused controversy and a controversy.

More than two hours later, the 10 heads of state unanimously approved a proposal put forward by Zyuganov, Russia's chief scientific adviser, that is, to immediately restart the human genetic engineering codenamed "Mending the Sky," and to list it as a priority project after Judgment Day, so as to find ways and means to deal with genetic weapons and make up for human genetic defects before the disaster breaks out, and do their utmost to preserve the fire of human civilization.

Next, the various possibilities of extraterrestrial civilization extinction of humanity are discussed.

For example, extraterrestrial civilizations are likely to attack the food crops that humans depend on for their livelihoods, and reduce agricultural yields or even eliminate harvests by modifying genes and changing the climate. Although this will not directly lead to the extinction of the human race, it will certainly lead to a significant reduction in the human population.

When discussing this issue, Luo Jinyong thought of a question that he had ignored before.

That is, human beings themselves are also a scarce resource!
