Chapter 337: Earth Crisis

Initially, no one cared about the catastrophe.

It's just a wildfire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city.

Until this disaster, it is closely related to everyone......

The sun is rapidly aging and expanding.

A hundred years from now, the sun will expand to engulf the entire Earth.

Three hundred years from now, the solar system will not exist.

In the face of this catastrophe, humanity has shown unprecedented solidarity.

In order to allow more people to survive, the coalition government decided to push the entire Earth out of the solar system and towards a new home 4.2 light-years away.

This magnificent and long human migration project is named: The Wandering Earth Project!

So far, human beings, a small race born in the solar system, have embarked on a wandering journey of 2,500 years......

It took 45 years for the Earth to brake to stop its rotation, and 12,000 refusion engines with a single thrust of 15 billion tons to move the Earth out of the sun's orbit.

It's the year 2075, ten years into the start of the Wandering Earth program, and Earth is passing through Jupiter's orbit.

Most humans haven't seen you outside in the sky in decades, let alone stepped on the ground.

Those who are in the earth are eager to go to the earth.

Liu Qi, Liu Peiqiang's son, has always made a promise to his sister, that is, to take her to see the scenery on the ground.

Liu Qi's sister is called Han Duoduo, which is actually Liu Qi's mother's name. It's just that Liu Qi's mother died of cancer due to radiation sickness as early as 2058.

In the great flood where the earth completely stopped, Liu Qi's grandfather Han Ziang rescued the children who were lifted up by relay in the flood.

The other people under the water, one by one, lowered the baby, Han Ziang didn't know who her parents were, but the ones under the water were her parents.

So Han Ziang gave his daughter's name to the baby, and she became Han Duoduo.

Han Duoduo has always wanted to go back to the ground, to see his parents who he has never met, and to see the world on the ground.

And Liu Qi also wanted to take a look on the ground, especially his father Liu Peiqiang was about to complete the work of the navigator space station and return to his side.

Liu Qi is fleeing, fleeing from his father, because in his opinion, Liu Peiqiang exchanged his mother's life for a family......

Left a note for his grandfather at home, Liu Qi went to school to destroy the simulation screen to create chaos and picked up his sister, and got a protective suit to go to the surface from his first brother, Liu Qi took his sister to start the adventure to the surface.

The system of the dungeon is relatively independent, which also gives the first brother a chance to get his hands on it. Make nameplates with replaced data and create opportunities for ordinary people to go to the surface.

This seemingly illegal action is actually a tacit secret from the dungeon. 550M can master the world, it doesn't mean that you don't know this kitten.

People must have hope and have a thought.

Liu Qi taught Han Duoduo to turn on the intercom on the protective suit, and Han Duoduo, who saw natural light for the first time, stared at the world outside the glass.

From the dungeon 5,000 meters underground to the elevator exit 500 meters above ground, the elevator is about to open after fifteen minutes.

The rest of the people bent down towards the elevator door to meet the air pressure shock that was about to be brought about by the change in the environment.

Only Liu Qi and Han Duoduo stood at the back for some reason, imagining the outside world.

The elevator door opened, and the cold wind mixed with ice and snow rolled inward, and the temperature in the elevator dropped from 18 degrees Celsius to minus 84 degrees Celsius in an instant.

As far as the eye can see, on the misty earth, there is a huge peak of metal, stretching from the surroundings to the horizon. The pillars of light spit out by the giant peak, like a sloping cosmic forest, pierced our crumbling sky.

Before the people in the elevator could straighten up, the elevator was blocked.

A couple of guys, dressed completely different from the Coalition forces, stood in the doorway, armed with weapons to protect one man.

Amazingly, the guy who stood in the center and looked like the leader was not wearing the same protective suit as them.

Casper finally waited for the elevator in the cold wind, and as soon as the elevator door opened, he couldn't wait to walk in.

Casper and his own guards blocked the doorway, making it impossible for people in the elevator to get out.

At the first sight of the armed man, most of the elevator was panicked, and there was not only the cold wind on the surface, but also the people who had not been able to enter the dungeon.

The occupancy of the dungeon needs to go through a lottery, and the lottery qualifications cannot be transferred, sold and lent, and less than half of the seven billion people can survive.

There are still people out there, those who are trying to survive in the wind and snow, hating the people in the dungeon and the Wandering Earth Project.

Working outside is dangerous, not only against nature, but also against humanity itself.

Unlike the armed men of the coalition government, the most likely ones are the 'rebels'.

However, Casper, who was familiar with the elevator, dispelled the panic in the elevator, took out a tablet, pointed to the display screen in the elevator and said, "Government personnel, come to BJ Dungeon for business." Now that the dungeon is about to be closed, all non-essential work will be stopped, so let's take a look at your terminal first. ”

As Casper's words fell, a voice came from the elevator next to him: "All combat readiness personnel return to work, stop all ground activities and wait for orders." ”

Dissipating his suspicions, the people in the elevator stepped back a little, making way for Casper and the others.

The elevator is about to return to the dungeon, how can Liu Qi, who wants to escape, still be able to endure it?

"Duoduo, where's Grandpa's car card?"

The two wanted to come to the ground, Liu Qi was responsible for getting the equipment and path, and Han Duoduo was responsible for stealing Han Ziang's car card. Once you have a card, you can start the truck and get them out of the dungeon area.

Han Duoduo, who didn't know why, took out Han Ziang's car card from his pocket, and Liu Qi snatched it and hid it in his hand.

Glancing down at the car card, Liu Qi pinched his finger on Han Ziang's avatar on the car card.

Pinching the car card, Liu Qi said to Casper and the others who stopped at the elevator entrance: "Driver, I'm going to deliver fuel." ”

The refusion engine, which provides 15 billion tons of thrust, burns stone, so the trucks cannot be transported for a moment.

Liu Qi's movements look normal, if he is an ordinary person, he may be deceived by Liu Qi's actions.

But who is Casper, a former arms dealer and now a strong man in the Time and Space Administration, Liu Qi's small actions are as ridiculous as an axe in his eyes.

Casper's guard stood at the elevator entrance and stopped Liu Qi, which made Liu Qi put away the car card a little unhappily, and said like a stinger: "What do you want to do!" ”

Casper grabbed Liu Qi's hand and forcefully took out the car card from his pocket.

Reading the content on the car card, Casper said with interest: "Yo, Han Ziang, senior driver, or a post-90s?" And you ......"

Caspar looked at the nameplate on Liu Qi's chest and said, "It's called Liu Qi?" How old is it? ”

It was obvious that Liu Qi in front of him had ulterior thoughts and actions, and the exposed Liu Qi broke free of Casper's hand and rushed outside.

In the face of these armed men, Liu Qi bet that they would not dare to shoot in the closed elevator, and the power glove he made himself had a short-term output power comparable to that of US military equipment, as long as he was allowed to go out, get out!

However, Liu Qi's dream is wishful thinking after all, even if he adds power equipment, how can his ability be the opponent of Casper's guard?

Even Caspar's guards didn't make a move, but just took a step back slightly to get out of the way, and then simply stretched out his foot and tripped the mentally imperfect Liu Qi.

Without waiting for Casper's guards to continue to attack, the others in the elevator pressed Liu Qi under him, and then tied Liu Qi up.

Liu Qi's behavior is too suspicious.

Han Duoduo was blocked in a corner of the elevator and isolated, although she cried, no one came to comfort her. The only sound in the elevator was Liu Qi's struggle and abuse.

Casper ignores his surroundings and thinks of his own plan of action.

As a member of the advance force, he needs to communicate with the United Earth Government face-to-face to establish a preliminary cooperative relationship, and then the 300 veteran astronauts will come forward to establish comprehensive cooperation.

However, as soon as he arrived on Earth, he came to a bad conclusion from the deduction data of the Red Queen and Viki.

Earth is about to fall into Jupiter!

The Wandering Earth Project is a step-by-step process, from the era of brakes to the era of escape, it must go through several dangerous processes.

The first is to stop the rotation of the Earth, which will make the Earth a planet with the equator as its waistline.

The second is to use the Earth's rotation and the Sun's gravitational slingshot to change course to Jupiter.

Then it passes through the orbit of Jupiter, which is accelerated by Jupiter's gravity to cooperate with the engine to escape the solar system.

Every step is a walk on the tip of a knife, and every step is an adventure of life and death.

But this time, the Earth's orbit is deflected by 9.23 degrees due to the gravitational pull of Jupiter.

Captured by Jupiter's gravity, this mass is 318 times that of Earth, and even the diameter of the Jupiter storm Great Red Spot cyclone can hold three Earths, and the whole gas star with hydrogen will be the burial place of humanity and the earth.

The crisis is imminent!

With a collision looming, Casper is forced to change his negotiation strategy and prepare to intervene directly in the coalition government.

At the same moment as the Earth was deflection, the supercomputer 550W of the Navigator space station also informed the coalition government of the results of its calculations.

But the 550W, which has been renamed MOSS, withheld some information and allowed the disaster to continue to move forward.

Caspar's Temporal Authority knows the situation, and so does the coalition government.

One of the strategies is for combat readiness personnel to return to work and cease all ground activities.

The Earth propulsion engine will increase the thrust and allow the Earth to be freed from Jupiter's influence as soon as possible.

When the elevator doors opened again, Casper saw the coalition representatives waiting here. Contacting the local regime and establishing contact through diplomatic means, the Temporal and Space Administration has a mature and effective plan.

"Hao Xiaoxi, Coalition Government Diplomat."

A woman who had already made a mark on her face, but was still able, held out her hand to Casper.

"Casper, temporary diplomat of the Temporal Authority."

"Please come with me, this way."

There is no superfluous greetings, and now we are facing a crisis on the planet.

Casper followed Hao Xiaoxi, while Liu Qi and Han Duoduo in the elevator were taken away by the coalition government forces around Hao Xiaoxi.

Hao Xiaoxi said as he walked: "Your identity needs to be confirmed, but after internal discussion, this kind of incident with a probability of not 0 can be believed." Maybe this will be an opportunity. ”

"If you can still observe the original Earth's orbit, it's not hard to spot the fleet near the orbit," Caspar said. We brought a lot of supplies, but alas, now is not the time to celebrate. My private ship is parked right outside, and you can send someone to check it at any time. Technological prowess will tell. ”

In order to conserve resources, the navigator space station undertakes all communication support tasks, and the current earth does not have the ability to observe the original orbit at all.

In front of a door, Hao Xiaoxi turned around and said solemnly: "I believe!" I believe that humanity will come together! Your presence is already proof of this! ”

Casper looked at his dress and smiled, he appeared in the freezing cold of minus 90 degrees Celsius in his regular clothes with personal protective equipment, which has proved the crushing of scientific and technological strength.

Hao Xiaoxi pushed open the door and introduced the representatives of the coalition government who were already waiting in front of the big screen for Casper.

Time is of the essence, and the coalition government, after viewing the proof of existence of the Temporal and Space Authority, did not hesitate at all, and immediately voted to join by a show of hands.

The fate of the earth is at hand, and hesitation is a betrayal of the human community.

After a short consultation, Hao Xiaoxi said with some emotion: "It would be nice if you could come earlier......

Then Hao Xiaoxi said as if explaining: "I'm sorry, this is not a complaint, but just a sigh, if it had been earlier, life on earth might not have faced so many tribulations......"

Caspar knew what that meant, and he said, "Actually, if you don't get the Earth out of its intended orbit, maybe the Authority will be positioned a little bit faster." ”

Although he is a supernumerary, Casper's authority is not low, after all, he is a special diplomatic backer of the Time and Space Administration, and he can know many secrets that can take advantage of diplomatic mediation.

Hao Xiaoxi was a little puzzled and asked, "Did we do something wrong?" ”

Immediately, Hao Xiaoxi threw this thought out of his head.

Leaving the intended orbit to start the Wandering Earth project will cause half of the people to lose protection and die, but staying in place will directly vaporize the earth.

No one knows what the future will end, and humanity can only rely on itself!

The Wandering Earth Project is a must-do plan! It is also a self-help action that must be resolutely implemented!

Casper looked at Hao Xiaoxi, who was gradually firm, and changed the topic and said: "You should thank you for the first batch of materials, the old astronauts you cultivated, they relied on their own contributions to exchange these ...... for you."

"Old aerospace? Are there people in our world who have joined the Temporal Authority? ”

Hao Xiaoxi couldn't help but be a little surprised, now it was only a preliminary completion of negotiations, and some of the secrets of the resurrection had not been known to the world.

But now that the Wandering Earth World has joined the Wandering Earth World, it is a sure thing, and Casper doesn't mind revealing some content.

Just as he was about to explain, the ground suddenly began to shake.

The violent shaking was accompanied by a physical jolt, and the cracked ceiling dripped concrete downward.

The guards beside Casper stood up an all-round barrier to protect everyone, and only then did they temporarily stabilize the terrible environment indoors.

Immediately afterward, he heard a fatal warning from the 550W, which had changed its name to MOSS.

"Warning! Planetary engine failure, number 121, data correction...... 1112 seats, data correction ...... 3319, affected by Jupiter's gravity, the Earth's thrust is halved, the steering ability is lost, and the Earth will hit Jupiter in 37 hours, 4 minutes and 12 seconds. ”
