The spirited Luxli did not believe that Joyna would release his pigeons, and considering that she might be busy at this time, he waited patiently, and after half an hour he could not help but send her an email.

Joyna didn't reply.

Lotsley began to lose ground. The community is full of people, and one-on-one couples stroll down the road, which makes him feel even more invisible.

Joyna didn't come after all.

He didn't want to stay in the community anymore. After logging out, he went outside and looked at the sky full of meteors, although it was still gorgeous and colorful, but he had no intention of appreciating it. He was even more worried about whether Joyna had encountered something difficult to get out of.

For the first time in years, he felt bored and a little irritable, and logged on to glasses10 to browse the news to pass the night.

The news of the catastrophe caused by the meteor shower has dominated the screens, and every one of them is shocking. Landslides, roads are interrupted, buildings are collapsing, houses are on fire, and rescue efforts are simply too busy to be carried out. The disaster-stricken area is devastated and in ruins, as shown in a disaster movie.

Luxley tossed and turned tonight.

Before dawn, he received a notice from the Observatory asking him to return to the northern headquarters and leave immediately, and someone else would take over the work here.

Lotsley didn't think carefully about why he was allowed to go back, the headquarters had always arranged it like this, because of the nature of the work, the level of secrecy was very high, and his subordinates had no right to intervene, but only obeyed the execution.

There was still no news from Joyna, but he couldn't divulge his whereabouts either, just sent her a simple message asking her to contact him in time.

When he left the Sky Eye Base in the flying machine, he was not thinking about what tasks would be assigned to him at the headquarters, but about what difficulties Joyna had encountered and he couldn't care about replying to him.

If Joyna had no feelings for him, he would never believe him. The two of them were very happy and happy when they were together, and in retrospect, he felt that school life was the happiest moment of his life. He regrets it a little now, why didn't he confess to her earlier, he said it earlier, maybe they were together a long time ago, and now he can't regret it.

Two hours later, he arrived at the headquarters of the Northern Observatory, where he was personally received by the director. He felt honored and shocked.

"Headquarters has sent you on a glorious and great mission."

The director looked serious, Lao Shili listened carefully, and the director personally arranged it, so he naturally attached great importance to the task.

"This meteor shower is a catastrophe facing mankind. All parts of the world have been affected to varying degrees, causing great losses to humanity. And that's just the beginning......"

Laborers realized the gravity of the situation.

"Meteor showers will go on forever. Observations from the world's major observatories have come to a worse conclusion than expected, much longer than previously estimated, and on a wide scale, with the Earth, the Moon, along with Venus and Mars, and Jupiter within the coverage of planetary debris. If it is only these fragments, the ecological environment on the earth may still be able to withstand it, and the implication is that human beings still have the possibility of rebuilding after the disaster. But ......"

"However, the Hubble telescope found that asteroids are followed by meteor showers, which are the biggest threat to the earth, and there are more than one, nearly 100 have been found with a diameter of more than one kilometer." The probability of these asteroids colliding with the Earth is as high as 90%, which will bring catastrophe to mankind. ”

Lausley opened his mouth widely, he didn't believe his ears, in the past few years of guarding the eyes of the sky, although he didn't know the specific content of those radio waves, based on experience, he could also judge from the form of the radio waves whether it was a meteor or a signal from an extraterritorial celestial body. It's just that this asteroid is rushing towards the earth, and it really hasn't been encountered. Maybe I was only thinking about Joyna last night and didn't pay much attention to those signal changes.

"That'...... So what do we do? How to stop it? ”

The director continued: "This is the specific task of your trip. ”

The catastrophe caused by the meteor shower has attracted the attention of high-level countries in various countries, and the elites are extremely panicked when they learn that the asteroid is about to crash into the earth. The Federation Council urgently convened a videoconference and decided to intervene in the interception of the asteroid.

Either destroy it, and the smaller planetary debris will also cause damage to the Earth, but it is still within the range of what it can bear.

Either the asteroid is derailed and avoids the Earth, and the Earth avoids the catastrophe.

Ways and means of intercepting jamming asteroids, the Federation Council decided to attack with nuclear bombs. Countries with nuclear bombs are obliged to provide nuclear bombs, and countries with spacecraft are obliged to provide spacecraft and astronauts. As a major country that bears responsibility, China naturally has an unshirkable responsibility and must also send people to carry out this mission.

200 spaceships, 2,000 nuclear bombs, China shared one-fifth, and the spacecraft nuclear bombs are ready to go at any time. Whether the mission can be successfully completed, the selection of astronauts is particularly important.

The list of astronauts selected by the think tank talent system was released, and the director did not expect the name of Luxley to appear. He wasn't an astronaut, so why was he selected? The director's questioning was rejected by the leadership, who believed more in the judgment of the think tank's talent system.

It was for this reason that the station commander recalled Lotsley to the headquarters and conveyed the combat mission to him.

Lotsley was very surprised, he had a dream of aerospace, and he had exercised for this, there should be no problem with the physical examination, and he also went to the space experience hall to do overweight and weightless training, because of the quota limit, he did not become an astronaut, and then gave up and became a guardian of the eye of the sky.

"I'm afraid this won't work, right? I've never been trained to fly a space shuttle, so I don't know anything about it. How is it possible to complete a space mission. ”

Lotsley wanted to go to space, but the reality was not there.

The director with a serious face smiled instantly.

"If it's just a matter of flying the shuttle, you're up to it. Each astronaut is equipped with an intelligent AI that is your pilot, so you don't have to worry about it. If there are any difficulties, just mention them, and the organization will solve them for you. ”

"Just now, the director said, what kind of nuclear bomb to operate, such a dangerous thing, I have never dabbled in, a spaceship has to carry an average of ten nuclear bombs. Is this a joke to me, a layman? ”

A space shuttle is loaded with 10 nuclear weapons, and it is necessary to drop them, and it is scary to think about it, this mission is not a life and death, but a return or a return! Labor's heart palpitated.

Seeing that he had the intention of shirking, the director began to do ideological work.

"Once an asteroid hits Earth, Earth is finished, and humanity will cease to exist. Now there is an opportunity to save humanity, the times have chosen you, and you should move forward bravely and not back down. Successful or not, you are a hero of the times. In fact, you should also know that all mankind lives and dies with you. It is not a matter of your personal life and death, the fate of the planet and the fate of humanity are in your hands. The earth is a community with a shared future for mankind, and some countries that usually have major differences and even hostilities have reached a consensus at this moment. In the face of the threat of an asteroid, we have a responsibility and obligation to stand up and not back down because of the danger of death, which is a cowardly act. Maybe it's because you're not a coward but a brave man that the think tank talent system chose you. I hope you don't disappoint the Order, and let alone all the creatures of Earth. ”

The director's eyes were firm and his tone was resolute, which aroused the bravery and fearlessness in Labor's heart.

"I understood, this is the organization must let me go, I obey. How do those nuclear bombs work? I really don't know anything, so it can't be controlled by intelligent AI, right? ”

Seeing that he agreed, the director regained his smile.

"That's right, the ship you're piloting is different from the others, it doesn't have a nuclear bomb on it, it's equipped with a space cannon, and it's responsible for destroying asteroids that are less than 500 meters in diameter. This plan was later added by the Federation Council, to be precise, in case there were not enough nuclear bombs, and to use them to blow up the big planets as much as possible, and the small ones were solved with electromagnetic guns. ”
