Chapter 37: My Prophecy

The universe is too vast. Even the closest star to the Sun is 4.2 light-years away, or about 40.32 trillion kilometers.

An asteroid from tens of trillions, or even tens of billions or trillions of kilometers away, crossed such a distant interstellar space, under the influence of the gravitational pull of countless large or small stars, as well as the influence of countless interstellar dust, happened to aim at the earth, and then hit the earth, this probability is unimaginably low.

To predict such an asteroid, its accuracy must be unimaginably high.

Since there is still a two-minute error in predicting an earthquake, it is conceivable that there will be an error in predicting the orbit of an asteroid this time.

However, as long as there is a slight error, the asteroid's forward trajectory will be very different.

After all, in a chaotic universe, any small difference in the initial situation will lead to a very different outcome.

Lu Ming doesn't need the results to be very different, and he doesn't need the orbit of this asteroid to make a huge difference. He only needs the orbit of this asteroid to produce thousands of kilometers, or even lower, and the difference of hundreds of kilometers is not impossible.

Because, a difference of just a few hundred kilometers can lead to two consequences.

One consequence is that the asteroid crashes into Earth. Another possibility is that the asteroid passed by the Earth.

It continues its cosmic journey, while the people of the earth still maintain their former peaceful lives.

This kind of error may not be possible?

You must know that compared to the long voyage of this asteroid, which may be as high as 100 billion or 100 billion kilometers, the error of 100 kilometers or 1,000 kilometers in its final orbit is completely insignificant. Perhaps during the voyage, the orbit change caused by the impact of a proton may lead to this result.

Lu Ming's heart suddenly became hot.

Since Doomsday can make a two-minute error in predicting an earthquake, it can also make an error in predicting asteroid orbits.

This means that even if the predictions of the Doomsday Organization come true, the possibility that the asteroid will pass by the Earth without hitting the Earth is absolutely possible.

Thinking about this, Lu Ming's heart suddenly brightened.

First, the prophecies of the Doomsday Organization may or may not be true. Second, even if the prediction is true, it is possible that the asteroid will just pass by the Earth. Weighing comprehensively, considering the various possibilities, and the practical benefits for the human world implied by the various possibilities, the weight unconsciously began to tilt to one side.

How to choose, he has already answered.

Choose a smaller-scale mobilization.

Lu Ming drew a circle on the paper heavily, let out a long breath, then stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

At this moment, the night is already deep. The bustling and noisy city has now fallen silent.

Looking at the empty streets, looking at the dim light from the street lamps, Lu Ming muttered to himself.

"Doomsday, you have made a prophecy that an asteroid will crash into Earth and cause the destruction of humanity. Today, I also made a prophecy. I predict that this asteroid will not appear. Even if it appears, it will only pass by the earth.

This is, my ...... Prophecy.

Whoever is right in his prophecy will be judged by time. ”

Lu Ming logged in to the video conference room again, and saw that Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang were still waiting in the conference room.

Seeing Lu Ming land in, several people straightened up in unison.

"My opinion is to opt for a smaller-scale mobilization."

Lu Ming slowly said these words.

"Oh? Reason? ”

Zhang Dingshan asked this question on behalf of the other two.

"The logic behind this can be complicated. First, I found that the time of the earthquake predicted by the Doomsday Organization was two minutes different from the actual time of the earthquake......"

Lu Ming completely explained his logic.

Error.

The core key point is error.

Zhang Dingshan looked at He Wei: "Do you have any opinions?" ”

He Wei shook her head: "I agree with Lu Ming's opinion. ”

He looked at Lu Qingliang again: "Do you have any opinions?" ”

Lu Qingliang smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I didn't understand the logic that Lu Ming said too well. But, I believe Lu Ming. I know he's smart. So, I agree with that. ”

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "I also agree." So ......"

He looked at Lu Ming again: "Your opinion is the collective opinion of our second action team." If the end result turns out that you are wrong, then we will bear the responsibility both materially and psychologically. ”

If the opinion is correct, then the final reward, the big head, is Lu Ming's. If the opinion is wrong, everyone should bear the responsibility.

Lu Ming was slightly moved in his heart.

These are the teammates you can fully trust.

"Now, I'll report to Lee."

In the video conference room, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number. After the connection, he explained the opinions and reasons of the Action 2 team.

In the end, he did not forget to emphasize that this was the collective opinion of the Action 2 team.

Li Wenhua's statement is surprisingly similar to Zhang Dingshan.

"I agree with that. I will escalate this opinion as it is. After that, if the opinion is correct, most of the rewards go to your second team. If the opinion is wrong, the responsibility will be borne by the entire operation department. ”

"Thank you."

This thank you, Zhang Dingshan said sincerely.

Li Wenhua hung up the phone.

In the video conference room, Zhang Dingshan said: "Okay, there is nothing for us to do for the time being." Let's go and get some rest. And so it was, the meeting was adjourned. ”

The video conference room was closed, and Lu Ming leaned back in his chair, not only did he not feel relaxed, but his heart became heavier and heavier.

Opinions have been reported, and the final result, the final decision at the top, is still unknown at this moment.

Of course, this opinion will occupy a high weight in the decision-making reference at the highest level. But it's still just a reference. There are so many aspects to consider in order to make this decision.

"It's not up to me to interfere with the final decision. Now, it's useless to be afraid. It's better to sleep well. ”

Lu Ming shook his head, went to wash up briefly, and fell asleep with his head covered.

It lasted until noon. After looking at his phone, Lu Ming landed in the video conference room again. After waiting for more than ten minutes, He Wei also went online. So the four of them got together again.

"Alright, everybody's here. Let me announce the final decision of the decision-makers. ”

Lu Ming's heart lifted slightly.

"According to the information sent back by Lee, the decision-making level has adopted our opinion. In response to this crisis, the decision-makers finally decided to adopt a small-scale mobilization. ”

At this moment, Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, and He Wei did not have the slightest excitement on their faces, but became more and more heavy.

When the decision-makers adopt their own opinions, the pressure on their own side increases.

In any case, once the opinion is wrong, even if no one blames themselves afterwards, even if everyone in the entire Planetary Security Agency claims responsibility for this opinion, the second team of Operations, and most importantly, themselves, can really do it without a little remorse in their hearts?

That's impossible.

At this moment, on the contrary, Lu Qingliang seemed more relaxed.

"There's a saying, real men never look back at explosions. We've done it, and we can't change it no matter what, and now we still have gains and losses, and it's useless? People die and don't die for thousands of years, that's it, they should eat, drink, and sleep. ”

He Wei muttered: "I'm not a man." ”

Lu Qingliang smiled: "In my eyes, you have always been a real man, so real that you can't be a real man anymore, pure masters, purer than me." ”

"Lu Qingliang, you are looking for death!"

He Wei got up angrily and stared fiercely at Lu Qingliang in the video frame.

"Don't, don't, auntie, I'm afraid of you. Well, there's nothing going on outside for the time being, and everyone is back at headquarters? I know a good restaurant, authentic water basin mutton, I have a treat. ”

Zhang Dingshan nodded slowly: "It's really nothing." Let's all go back to the headquarters and stand by. ”

He Wei snorted at Lu Qingliang: "You are sensible." ”

At this point, the Doomsday Organization has not yet been found. But Lu Ming realized that under the current circumstances, it was probably impossible for him to find out the traces of the Doomsday Organization. Moreover, the matter of doomsday prophecy, which is more important than the Doomsday Organization, has now been finalized. Staying outside, it's really fine.

In that case, it is better to go back.

It was decided that the meeting would be concluded. Lu Ming cleaned up and left the hotel.

At the moment, the sun is just right. Outside the hotel, there is a lot of traffic. There are long queues of vehicles on the street, and on the pedestrian street, the doors of various shops are open, and the flow of people is weaving.

Lu Ming knows that the essence of the so-called "small-scale mobilization" is to mobilize under the premise of ensuring the current order of social production and life and not causing a perceptible impact on ordinary people.

In other words, at least for ordinary people, they will not feel the impact of this mobilization at all. They will still be able to maintain their old lives.

If the end of the future does not come, then this doomsday prophecy event is equivalent to a complete non-existence for them. No one would have known that so many stories had happened during this time.

On the contrary, large-scale mobilization will completely disrupt the current order of social production and life. People will be all organized, completely interrupted from their current normal lives, and all will be fully engaged in resisting the disaster.

From this aspect, to a certain extent, all the prosperity I saw at the moment, all this traffic, all the crowds, all of which I saved.

Lu Ming had never imagined that his influence would be so great one day.

But...... Great power, but also great responsibility.

"Hopefully my decision is correct, and hopefully my prophecy is not wrong."

Lu Ming shook his head lightly and got into the car to the airport.

Back at the headquarters in the capital city, Lu Qingliang really invited a guest as promised before. After that, the few people took a break from their time.

Zhang Dingshan made a decision.

"On the premise of ensuring that they can be contacted at any time and that they can return to the team within a day at most, everyone can leave the team temporarily."

Lu Qingliang said with a lack of interest: "I don't have anywhere to go, I'll continue to stay at the headquarters." I'll inform you of anything happening. ”

"It's fine."

After a brief reunion, the three of them dispersed.

Zhang Dingshan returned home and continued to accompany Zhang Li. He Wei announced that he would go to another city to taste the food. Lu Ming thought about it, and finally decided to go home.

I don't know what the future holds, so let's spend as much time as possible with my family.

For Lu Ming's sudden return, Lu Cheng, Li Guizhi, and Lu Yu were full of surprises. So Lu Ming finally lived a leisurely life.

Information briefings from Lu Qingliang are carried out almost every day. As a result, although he was at home, Lu Ming could also grasp the progress of the "small-scale mobilization" in real time.

The "safety map" simulated by the previous asteroid warning center has been further refined to further improve the simulation accuracy. After fine-tuning, 6 million square kilometers of final safe sites were still screened. According to different distributions, it is divided into more than 1,000 communities.

Each of the more than 1,000 communities must have enough supplies to build buildings with a certain degree of disaster resistance. As a result, a large-scale construction campaign was launched, with up to one million people involved in the project.

Of course, in reality, the name used is definitely not the so-called asteroid impact evacuation, but the rest of the ordinary names, such as military bases, material reserve centers, remote disaster prevention backups, and so on.

Huge numbers of people and goods flow wildly across the earth. But all this, ordinary people are not aware of it at all.

This is the power of the world government. Even a mobilization that ordinary people are completely imperceptible to can do so far.

The mobilization is progressing in an orderly manner, and the time is slowly passing, and the prophesied point in time is getting closer and closer.

Today is November 5th, and there are still 14 days left before the prophesied end.

To this day, the Asteroid Warning Center, which has greatly strengthened its observation capabilities, has still failed to detect any signs of an asteroid approaching Earth. However, another thing happened somewhat unexpectedly, and it quickly attracted the attention of public opinion, becoming the only event that can be called national attention in recent times.

Extremely heavy rain in Roshi City.

Violent raindrops poured down wildly, and the gloomy sky no longer looked like the sky, but like someone had carried an ocean into the sky and let it run down.

In just three hours, it has already equaled the heaviest rainfall on record. However, the rain continues and shows no signs of stopping.

The streets have been turned into rivers. On lower ground, the houses are directly submerged.

Raise your eyes and look around, a country.
