Chapter 102: A Failed Escape Plan

The Moon has no atmosphere, the Sun's light cannot be scattered, and although it is still bright in space, stars in space can still be seen on the surface of the Moon.

There is no attenuation of light by the atmosphere, and the starlight is particularly bright, like a diamond embedded in a black crystal, sparkling with pure light, with white, light blue, and red colors, making people feel as if there is a real heaven.

Adams is a strong man who feels much more comfortable in gravity, and he also likes to work out, so he can't help but step forward to try his skills when he sees all kinds of exercise equipment.

When he saw a barbell that exercised strength, he wanted to try bench press, but he didn't expect that 300 kg was the same as playing, which made him feel very interesting, and he increased to 500 kg at one time.

He was lying there ready to exert his strength, and suddenly he saw a star in the sky that seemed to be moving, which was impossible, and he could see how fast the star was moving.

He blinked and looked closely, yes! It's moving, it seems to be heading towards the moon, but since it shouldn't be another spaceship, there is no spacecraft landing plan at this time.

Adams stood up and looked up at the glass dome, the curved dome was extraordinarily high, and the people on the side couldn't help but look at him as they kept looking up.

They did see an object flying to the moon, and it was getting closer, it wasn't a spaceship, and they didn't see the tail flame of the rocket engine.

"Asteroid!" I don't know who shouted.

Only then did people realize that it was an asteroid that was crashing towards the moon! The whole square was immediately in chaos, howling and people were scurrying around like headless flies.

There is nowhere to hide, and even if there is a small crack, the air in the entire base will quickly leak, and people will soon die in a vacuum. Not to mention, the temperature outside is as high as nearly 300 degrees Celsius in the sun!

This is already the last refuge, there is no escape, they can only watch the asteroid impact, and after a while, people know that their fate cannot be changed.

Frightened people find someone to hug tightly at the last moment, whether they recognize it or not, and just want to find a trace of pity in someone else.

Unlike the Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere, and the asteroid will not rub against the atmosphere and burn, and this meteorite, which is only more than 10 meters in diameter, crashed down on the lunar base.

Adams quickly calmed down, knowing that the living quarters were much safer than the plaza, where there were the necessary supplies and spacesuits, and even if the base was breached, he could last for several hours in the spacesuit.

When the others panicked, he ran towards the living quarters and made his way through the gate to his room, which had a spacesuit in the closet.

While on Earth, like everyone else, he accepted that he had learned the process of putting on a spacesuit, and that it was faster to wear on the Moon than on Earth.

Before he could put the helmet on, the impact occurred, falling from the square, and Adams felt the ground shake and fell to the ground, and the protective shell of the base was shattered like an eggshell in front of the meteorite.

A huge shockwave spread out in all directions, and the gate connecting the two districts was instantly blown away by the air wave, and the air in the base was dispersed into outer space in a matter of seconds.

Adams watched as the helmet was swept a few meters away from his body by the wave of air, and he tried to reach for it, but he couldn't reach it.

He felt extremely dizzy, the air pressure had dropped to 0, and he did not feel like the legend that caused the blood to boil all over his body due to the loss of pressure, but he felt extremely depressed.

The helmet was right in front of him, he could catch it with a few crawls, and he could survive on his head, but he couldn't move anymore and watched as the helmet shook there.

Adams' face flushed, and he pinched his neck with his hands, only the exhaled breath and no inhaled breath. In the far reaches of space in his eyes, the blue planet grew bigger and bigger, as if it was within reach, and he reached out to grab her, but he pounced.

At that moment he regretted it, he felt extreme fear, not that he was afraid of death, the soul that died on the earth could go to find heaven, and died alone on the moon, where is heaven? There will be nowhere for the soul!

The earth is the most generous gift of the universe to mankind, and once it is lost, humanity is like an abandoned baby, unable to survive for a moment in a universe full of dangers.

Seeing that the moon base was completely destroyed, there was a dead silence in the control hall of the Yongguo Aerospace Agency, no one spoke, only the noise of the computer was "buzzing".

The escape plan of the Yongguo people failed completely, and without the lunar base as a transit, it was impossible to fly to Mars.

Adams' father, Adams Sr., in a wheelchair, on the lawn of his estate, looked up at the moon slowly rising over the horizon, his brows slightly furrowed, and a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Knowing that his son had died on the moon, old Adams looked even older these days. When he heard the news that the asteroid was about to hit the earth, he didn't panic at all, knowing that his days were numbered, and after a long life, he had long looked at life and death very lightly.

The wealth and power in his hands have transcended the boundaries of the state and permeated all corners of the world, few people know about him, but almost no one is not affected by him.

The escape plan was also pushed by him to be implemented so quickly, and now the escape plan has failed, and his son is dead. The elder Adams pondered what to do, it was time to put aside the narrow interests of family, race, and nation, and unite to face the life and death of all mankind.

In Paraná, Chile, a group of amateur astronomers organized an astronomical gathering in which two senior amateur astronomers helped some new hobbyists observe the planets in the sky.

They taught these novices how to find constellations in the sky, starting with the naked eye to identify the constellations and the interrelationships of the planets and directions. The constellation is a good fixed sign in the night sky, and the background of the constellation can be used to initially locate many celestial objects that are visible or invisible to the naked eye.

One of the veteran amateur astronomers spotted an inconspicuous tiny bright spot in his portable telescope. He was very familiar with the starry sky, and he was puzzled that the trajectory of this bright spot did not look like an artificial satellite.

It was confirmed by several other veteran enthusiasts that this was an asteroid! It is not uncommon for amateur astronomers to discover asteroids, and there are even asteroids named by amateur astronomers.

The discovery of the asteroid culminated in the gathering, with a crowd cheering in the starlight, some of whom quickly spread the news of the asteroid's discovery to social media.

After getting the news, amateur astronomers around the world set off a craze for observing this asteroid, and many people used their portable astronomical telescopes to observe this "newly discovered" asteroid.

Soon a very professional amateur discovered that the asteroid was heading towards Earth!

A week later, the observatories of the world's major powers agreed to announce to the world at the same time that the asteroid was about to hit the Earth. At the same time, the UN Security Council officially announced the formation of the "Global Emergency Committee for Response to Impacts".
