In a trance, Lu Ming slowly regained consciousness. After that, he felt like he was sore and uncomfortable anywhere.

"When did I fall asleep?"

A thought flashed through Lu Ming's mind.

It turned out that in the process of watching the real-time broadcast of the Grim Reaper, I didn't know when, but I fell asleep directly on the table.

Sleeping on your stomach at a table is not as good as going to bed.

But at this moment, Lu Ming didn't care about this at all. After regaining consciousness a little, he immediately looked at the computer next to him.

In the video conference room, Lu Qingliang seemed to have just woken up, and He Wei was still asleep on the table. Only Zhang Dingshan still looks neat, his clothes are not wrinkled, and his hair is not unkempt.

Lu Ming remembered that when he hadn't fallen asleep, Zhang Dingshan hadn't slept either. Now that he has woken up, he still hasn't slept.

Ignoring the greetings, Lu Ming looked directly at the picture.

In the picture, the Grim Reaper is still quietly suspended in space, as if it has not moved at all. The number below it, which represents the distance, becomes 36.16 million, and the real-time speed relative to the Earth rises to 360 kilometers. At this rate, in about 26 hours, the Grim Reaper will reach its closest point to Earth.

Whether this closest point is above or beyond the Earth is uncertain.

If you are on Earth, it will undoubtedly mean impact. Outside the earth, it's a passing by.

The two results are very different.

At this moment, the data shows that the closest point between Death and the Earth is above the Earth, that is, the probability of an impact has reached 75.6%.

Lu Ming's heart was cold, and his breathing had stopped at this moment.

Isn't there only a 39.52% probability before I go to bed? How long did I sleep? It shouldn't be long, right? Why did the probability climb so much in just a while?

75.6%！

But the worst doesn't seem to stop there.

He could clearly see with his naked eyes that this probability number had jumped again within a few minutes of waking up.

Based on the real-time observation data of dozens of deep space telescopes, the final conclusion calculated by the automated program jumped from 75.6% to 76.32% at this moment.

It's still improving!

Lu Ming's heart was filled with a deep sense of despair.

How so? How can this be?

Lu Ming wanted to say something and do something, but in the end he found that what he said and did was useless and meaningless. In the end, he could only sit there silently like Zhang Dingshan, just staring at the data, not saying anything, not doing anything.

I don't know how long it took, He Wei finally woke up.

Her hair was unkempt and her skin was no longer smooth. She glanced at the data, and sat there in silence as well.

In the video conference room, the four of them looked at each other speechlessly.

Time was still slowly passing, and under the gaze of the four, that number had now climbed to 98.6%. Then, on the next beat, it climbed straight to 100%.

Lu Ming felt that this number was a bit dazzling. He didn't want to see it, but the realization couldn't be staggered in any way.

"That's 100%? 100% impact probability? Will the impact have to happen? ”

Lu Qingliang muttered.

Lu Ming took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Don't rush. A 100% probability does not mean that an impact will happen. This number is only calculated from the current orbit. But the future voyage of the Reaper is still more than 20 million kilometers, and in this process, it is also likely to be affected by other unexpected factors, and the probability may be reduced again. ”

"Yes, we still have hope."

There is hope. There is indeed hope. But this hope is so small that people don't dare to go for it.

What Lu Ming said is of course true. This is indeed the case. However, there is also another point, the closer the distance, the shorter the time, the higher the accuracy of the prediction, and the less room for error.

100% at the moment does not mean that an impact will happen, but at least it can represent a very high probability.

"Keep waiting."

……

In the vast sky, in the endless void, a huge fireball was suspended.

Infinite light and heat were released from it, sweeping across the Void and heating the planets that orbited it to temperatures far higher than they should have under normal circumstances.

If there were no stars, their surface temperature would drop to more than minus 200 degrees Celsius, or even lower, to near absolute zero.

The energy used to heat these planets accounts for only a few hundred million, or even one billionth, of the star's total radiated power.

This little bit of energy supports the warmth of the entire planet.

This is the power of the star called the Sun.

The star is not calm. On its surface, there is vigorous activity all the time. Sunspots, flares, solar ears, coronal mass ejections, blah blah, blah blah, blah On average, millions of tons of material are thrown into space by it every second. At certain times when the activity is extremely intense, this number will climb several times.

At this moment, an extremely drastic process is taking place.

The change in the magnetic field caused a huge amount of plasma to burst out from one point in an instant with a huge amount of radiation, rushing into space, and affecting all the stars in this star system.

With this outbreak, in front of Lu Ming, the probability that represented the collision between the Grim Reaper and the Earth jumped again.

This time, it became 99.2%.

Lu Ming's heart also beat.

After that, his heart beat faster and faster. All he felt was that his mouth was dry, his breath was short, and his eyes seemed to be drawn to the magnet, firmly fixed on the number.

The number was beating slowly, one by one.

With each beat, the value decreases a little.

Last time, it was 92.35%, and now, it's 91.52%. The next time, it was 91.03%.

Always lowered, always lowered.

Lu Ming's heart slowly lifted, and his emotions slowly rose.

He felt like a gambler after a huge loss, and then the Jedi fought back and slowly began to win.

Win a little more, a little more!

Seven hours. Lu Ming and his three teammates were always sitting in their seats, always staring at the real-time live broadcast in the video conference room and the number, and paying attention to the whole process from 100% to 0%.

At this moment, the Grim Reaper is still about 10 million kilometers away from Earth. Based on this distance and velocity, it will come to its closest point to Earth in about eight hours.

Just like 100% before does not necessarily mean that the impact will definitely happen, Lu Ming knows that 0% at the moment does not mean that the impact will not happen. After all, this is only a calculation based on the current orbit data, and the orbit may continue to change in the future.

But...... Just as 100% represents a very high probability at the beginning, 0% at this moment also represents an extremely high probability. And, because the moment is 100% closer to the final moment, the 0% probability at this moment is higher than the previous 100% probability based on the principle that the shorter the time, the more accurate the prediction.

When it was finally fixed above 0%, Lu Ming let out a long breath. At this moment, he only felt as if he had experienced a life-and-death battle.

He felt like he was sticking to his body, and his clothes were sticking to him. Only then did he realize that in the process just now, his clothes were all wet with cold sweat.

"Eight hours, eight hours. At its current orbit, the Grim Reaper will pass by Earth at a distance of about 2,000 kilometers. When it leaves Earth, we'll be completely safe. ”

The speed of the Grim Reaper is so fast that the gravitational pull of the Earth simply cannot restrain it. Not only the earth, but also the sun cannot leave it.

It will pass through the solar system like a passing guest, and then continue deeper into the universe without looking back.

If you don't look back, it's naturally impossible to hit the earth again. Naturally, the earth is completely safe.

"I'm going to take a shower and clean up."

"I'll go too."

When he came to the hotel bathroom, Lu Ming turned on the shower and let the water at the right temperature rush straight to himself, washing away the cold sweat all over his body, washing away the previous fatigue, and also washing away some heaviness.

It took about ten minutes. After that, Lu Ming hurriedly dried his body and returned to the computer again. Then he saw that the number had changed again.

It became 0.65%.

Lu Ming's brows furrowed slightly.

But the next moment, that number jumped a little bit and became 0%.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Occasional fluctuations, normal.

Time passed slowly, and the final moment was getting closer and closer.

The base of the ark, the Holy Church. On the wide throne, Tang Yun was still sitting. But unlike the previous idle comfort, at this moment, his brows are furrowed and his body is tense.

More than a dozen girls were still waiting. But at this moment, their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly. One of the girls had a big hole in his face, and blood was flowing out, and even gathered into a small pool on the ground. But she didn't even dare to wipe it.

This was smashed out by Tang Yun with the wine glass in his hand under the anger of Tang Yun before.

"How is this possible? That's impossible! So many prophecies have come true, and my memory can't be wrong! How could the end not come? Impossible! ”

"Yes, yes, the asteroid's orbit is affected, it's normal. There will be changes in the future, and it will definitely bump into it. In my previous life, this asteroid must have gone through such a process.

In the previous life, the people in the World Government gave it the name of Death, and in this life, didn't they also give it the name of Death? Nothing has changed.

The only variable between this life and the previous life is me. I have indeed changed many things and changed the lives of many people. But how could human activities affect an asteroid so far away from Earth? Completely impossible. So, it's going to crash into it, it must be. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Tang Yun slowly regained his composure.

"Now, the scientists I invited should be flustered, right? Hmph......"

At this moment, the rest area of the Ark base.

The previous excitement is gone. Looking at the slightly glaring 0% number on the mobile phone in their hands, most people were silent. A few people were talking in whispers.

There was a dreary atmosphere in the air.

0%, how can it be 0%? Wasn't it 100% before?

How so?

Will the impact actually occur? Will the end come?

All your preparations are based on the premise that the end is coming. If the end does not come, where will we go?

If the end does not come, what will the Son of God do? Will he allow us to leave the Ark base and go back to the real world again? Real-world ...... Will they accept us?

No, it won't, the end will come. The Son of God has made so many prophecies and all of them have been fulfilled, how could he be wrong this time? It's impossible, there must be changes in the future, and we still have time.

However, there are only a few hours left before the orbital crossover, and the shorter the time, the more accurate the prediction, and the probability should already be very low.

What's going on......

All sorts of thoughts came to mind.

At this time, the voice of the Son of God suddenly reached everyone's ears through the radio.

"As an urgent notice, we have just found out that the Internet Technology Center of the Asteroid Warning Center has previously identified our data theft. But instead of cutting the connection, they returned us fake data.

Our technicians are trying to get the right data, it is expected to take five minutes, please be patient. ”

Well?

Wang Lung was stunned for a moment, and then his heart suddenly dawned.

I see.

He probably understood what was going on and what the world government was going to do.

Maybe...... Does the world government want to use this to cause civil unrest on its own side?

If the impact does not happen and the end does not come, the Ark base can definitely produce civil unrest.

After causing civil strife on their side, they use it to locate themselves? And then, send armed men, occupy the Ark base, and take everything from the base for yourself?

In this way, the world government will have enough resources to survive the end and continue to perpetuate human civilization......

The point of "perpetuating human civilization" is consistent with both the doomsday organization and the world government. But who is in charge of this behavior makes a big difference.

It's really calculating.

Wang Lung snorted in his heart.

The people who can be selected here are not stupid. In the next moment, many people figured this out. As a result, the atmosphere was a little more lively again.

"The real data has been obtained."

With another broadcast, Wang Lung looked at his mobile phone and saw that the number that was 0% before had now become 100%.

So the atmosphere here is more lively.

But compared to the rest of the people, Wang Lung felt that he still had to be a little smarter.

Because he thinks deeper and farther.

What he thinks about is, between the world government and the Son of God, who is true and who is false?
