Chapter Seventy-Three: S-Class Natural Disaster

"By the way, cousin, where are we going to play next?" Ye Qingqing asked with a grin.

Lu Yiming sighed: "I have already helped you find a place to live." Take a few days off and visit the big shopping malls, amusement parks, or seaside shopping malls, as well as some pedestrian streets. ”

The car was running on the road, and the potholes caused the vibration of the car to be very severe.

This national highway was originally very smooth, and it was not a problem to drive up to 80 yards. But now the concrete pavement has cracked in pieces, causing the convoy to move forward not fast.

The radio in the car was broadcasting the news: "...... According to the analysis of experts, the earth's geological activities are in an active period that has not been seen for tens of millions of years, and the cracks in the road surface and the sudden collapse of the bridge are caused by the activity of the site, not the tofu slag project. ”

"This geological activity could last for a long time, hundreds or thousands of years...... It would slow the rate of GDP growth by five percentage points. ”

"Some of the older bridges are being urgently reinforced, and pedestrians will be closed until the reinforcement is complete. These include Tingtao Road, Pingsheng Road, Ping'an Road, ......"

It took a lot of effort on the part of the government to cover up the collapse of physics, but this set of theories does sound quite plausible, and it is enough to coax the common people.

Suddenly, Lu Yiming felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.

His heart moved, and his eyes glanced at a notification from the Institute.

I don't know why, when I saw this notice, Lu Yiming's heart beat wildly.

[You have an important notice, please check it in time.] 】

It is written in red letters, the highest level of warning prescribed in the institute.

Cold sweat burst out of his back at once, and the adrenaline concentration in his body rose rapidly, as if a voice was shouting in his ear: S-class disaster...... It's coming.

It's too early...... Far earlier than expected!

Lu Yiming habitually looked at the surrounding environment, Ye Qingqing was listening to music with his eyes closed, and his family was chatting with interest in the back seat, and no one cared about what he was doing.

On one side is a harmonious scene, and on the other side is an S-class natural disaster, and the sense of fragmentation of this picture seems to tear his whole person apart.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yiming clicked on the screen with trembling fingers.

[Important Notice: The cause and outbreak time of the S-Class Disaster have been confirmed.] Please return to your research institute in time and settle your family as soon as possible. 】

[Unfortunately to inform you, in a week's time, we will be facing the outbreak of the S-Class disaster.] We named it, S-01 Flood Disaster. 】

It's all declarative, but it's not calm.

Lu Yiming felt that his breathing was about to stagnate.

Then the button that says "Confirm Receipt" was pressed.

Then there are the various classified materials.

According to the first data, according to the observation of space telescopes, small objects with a diameter of less than 100 kilometers in the solar system have produced a series of gravitational disorders.

The orbits of these small objects could have been accurately calculated, but now they have suddenly deviated so much that some asteroids have bypassed Jupiter's gravitational barrier and have a certain probability of hitting Earth.

There are six potentially dangerous asteroids, the largest of which is about 30 kilometers in diameter.

What is the concept of a 30 km asteroid?

More than 60 million years ago, an asteroid with a diameter of 10 kilometers directly destroyed the age of dinosaurs, so an asteroid with a diameter of 30 kilometers, with a mass and volume 9 times that of 10 kilometers, is not a problem to destroy 99.9% of all living things on the earth, including human civilization.

The main reason for the gravitational disturbance is that some asteroids heat up inside, causing the ice on the surface to melt into liquid water. The asteroid's gravity, as well as frictional resistance, changes to the point that the orbit changes.

Lu Yiming swallowed hard and saw the sentence behind him.

[But we don't think that this is the main reason for the formation of S-class disasters, because it will take decades for the asteroid to bypass Jupiter and attack the Earth.] 】

The catastrophe predicted in the second source is imminent - the moon in the sky.

The Moon in the sky is a large ice ball formed four billion years ago in ancient times, which was captured by the gravitational pull of the Earth in the process of evolution and formed a satellite. (Note [1], the situation described here does not match the real situation, it is only a setting in the novel, please do not take it as real.) )

But at this moment, an unknown source of heat has been generated inside the moon, causing the ice to melt, so the moon hanging in the sky has turned into a super-large water ball with a depth of thousands of kilometers of oceans!

The massive evaporation of water vapor has led to the emergence of a thick layer of atmosphere on the surface of the Moon. However, the gravitational pull of the moon is too small to attract water vapor to the surface, so the large cloud of water vapor simply runs into space and is captured by the nearest Earth.

The data shows a satellite photograph of water vapor captured by the Earth above the moon, which looks like a silver-white silk.

Most critically, the emergence of water vapor has brought about a serious greenhouse effect, which has further increased the temperature of the moon, and its surface temperature has now risen to 80 degrees Celsius. More and more water vapor is evaporating, and all of it is sucked in by the earth.

If all of the moon's water were to fall on the earth, it would raise the earth's sea level by 990 kilometers!

At 990 kilometers, the world's highest peak is less than 9 kilometers!

This extra water will drown all the land, all the ...... will all become an ocean.

[S-01, Flood Plague!] 】

Lu Yiming swallowed his saliva, his face was blue and white for a while, he finally understood what was called an S-class disaster that was "impossible to solve".

This infinite power from nature is indeed not something that human beings can compete with at present. Humans can't build spaceships, let alone escape the solar system.

The current drizzle of rain is the precursor to the outbreak of the disaster, the danger of extinction brought about by the water vapor of the moon.

According to the forecast, this light rain will expand into a global rain in three days, even in the Sahara Desert, when the desert will become an oasis and life will cheer.

A week later, it will turn into a global torrential rainstorm that will turn into a global flood.

After two months, most of the rest of the area, except for a few plateaus, will be submerged.

In three months, the plateau will be submerged...... There will be no more land.

Only a real super giant ship can survive this super rain!

At this time, the value of the ticket is truly reflected, as described by Dr. Ding Yuan, what it represents is life, the hope of survival!
