Chapter 152: Save Yourself or Perish?

Despair, endless despair, humanity exposes one of its innate weaknesses. Human beings have a more fatal weakness, that is, surrender, but at this time, the X-star people have fled from the disaster, but the disaster does not accept surrender, and human beings can only save themselves.

The Academy immediately convened a meeting, chaired by Adolf, which was attended not only by the top officials of the coalition government, but also by aerospace and military experts.

According to the estimation of the size and mass of the asteroid, as well as the calculation of its speed and trajectory, the asteroid will have a head-on impact with the Earth, and the energy released during the impact is about 150 trillion tons of TNT, enough to destroy the Earth.

In addition, even if the earth is not destroyed by the impact and some humans survive, natural disasters such as wildfires, gunsmoke, plagues, and tsunamis that occur after the impact will still kill people. Taking a step back, even if these disasters are avoided, there will be no animals and plants on the earth, and there will be no food, and humanity will still inevitably perish.

After several hours of discussion, hypothesis and debate, the meeting proposed two options: one is to migrate to Mars and transfer humans; The second is to release a nuclear bomb to a large planet, using the energy released during the explosion of the nuclear bomb to change the trajectory of the giant planet.

What followed was another endless debate......

If the plan of migration to Mars is adopted, it is feasible in terms of the existing spacecraft and the number of remaining human beings. However, due to the slow transformation process of Mars, it is not yet fully suitable for human habitation. If humans were to settle on Mars, food would be the number one priority. Because the soil structure of Mars is not able to nurture plant growth, and the freshwater resources are almost zero.

With the second option, the coalition government currently has less than 100 nuclear bombs left, and it is calculated that the energy released by the explosion of a nuclear bomb could indeed change the trajectory of a large planet. However, even so, it is still inevitable to collide with the earth, but the impact surface is reduced, and the energy released is not so huge, and the earth will still be hit hard at that time.

The coalition government met for three days and finally agreed: to veto the alien immigrants and adopt the plan of releasing nuclear bombs on the asteroids to change their orbits. Although it will not be possible to completely avoid the Earth of the great planet, the energy released by the impact will be reduced by 75%, and the strength of all mankind will be enough to survive.

At the same time, the power system is still being rebuilt, and it is expected that 80 percent of the power supply system will be restored within a week due to the concentrated investment of personnel and equipment, when a large electrical load will be required to launch a nuclear bomb.

The plan has been decided, and the coalition government has ordered the space institute to be put into work immediately, and Professor Adolf is responsible for deploying all the forces of the coalition government to accurately calculate the orbit of the giant planet and the best coordinates for the delivery of the nuclear bomb.

At the same time, the coalition government issued a "Letter to All the People", announcing the impending disaster facing mankind and calling on the people to work together to overcome the disaster. He also asked the people to stock up on food, fresh water and daily necessities for the arrival of the big impact.

Two days later, the Academy of Astronautics finally calculated the best coordinates for the explosion of the nuclear bomb and calculated the time of the launch of the nuclear bomb in turn. Soon, the day came, and all the nuclear bombs on Earth were launched at the same time under the witness of a five-second countdown.

With a loud noise over the Earth, the huge energy released by the explosion of the nuclear bomb forced the asteroid to deviate from its orbit, and after a short flight, the asteroid finally collided sideways with the Earth. When the impact came, an indescribable loud sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, with a huge tremor and roar, as if the end was coming.

Due to the change in the trajectory of the large planet, the energy released by the impact was reduced by 75%, but its power was still immeasurable, the explosion caused immeasurable damage during the impact, the huge impact caused a variety of toxic substances to be released into the atmosphere, and also caused a tsunami and caused huge damage to the coast, etc.

Due to the change in the trajectory of the large planet, from the original positive impact to the lateral impact, its impact center is in the Antarctic plate, and then radiates around, and the American plate, the Indian Ocean plate and the African plate are more affected.

After the impact, the earth has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the newly rebuilt power system has once again suffered fatal damage, and many advanced equipment and facilities have been damaged and cannot be used.

Many parts of the earth have been submerged by the sea, the once rich areas have been wiped out, the world is extremely short of energy, and even the air, water, and food that human beings once relied on have become extremely precious.

Suffering and disaster have once again befallen this planet, and how will the surviving humans save themselves?

......

Before the impact, the Earth was divided into the Eurasian plate, the African plate, the American plate, the Indian Ocean plate, the Antarctic plate and the Pacific plate, but after the impact, the six plates no longer existed. As a result of the impact, the six major plates have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Before the impact, the Pacific plate was all wrapped in seawater, but after the impact, the earth's crust has changed dramatically, affected by a variety of factors, has become an endless desert, the desert gradually extends to both sides, the entire Eurasian plate is completely swallowed by the desert, and part of the African plate and the Indian Ocean plate has been eroded, occupying almost two-thirds of the earth.

The desert has a dry climate, a harsh environment, no water source, and a large impact produces various toxic substances, so no living thing can survive in the desert sea.

Thankfully, the plate that was relatively less affected by the impact was the "American Plate", but this is no longer what it used to be, because the current "American Plate" is dozens of times smaller than the former American Plate. It is the furthest from the center of the impact, and retains a negligible amount of resources on which humanity depends.

Resources are gradually scarce, and in order to survive, human beings will inevitably lead to wars for resources, and the evil of human nature has once again been revealed......

At this time, decades after the impact, mankind has fallen into an extremely difficult period of survival, and less than one million humans have survived, and the coalition government is still struggling to support the mansion that may collapse at any time, and all survival resources such as fresh water, food, and accommodation belong to the public ownership of the coalition government, and the principle of distribution according to needs is implemented.

At this time, the electricity that human beings rely on for survival is already very small, and it can only support the difficult maintenance of the joint government building and cutting-edge laboratories such as the military academy, the aerospace institute, and the biological institute.

Zhang Tianlin, Williams and other leaders of the older generation of coalition governments have passed away and left miserably in hope and despair, and they have not been able to witness the revival of humanity after all. Perhaps, this kind of death is the way they should be, after all, they have committed unpardonable sins.

Many people did not survive the impact, and 90 percent of humanity was lost in the following decade. There are also very few surviving experts in various fields, and all kinds of science and technology have almost come to a standstill for ten years, and human civilization has regressed for more than a few decades!

At that time, looking at the entire coalition government, only a few institutions remained, such as the Military Academy, the Aerospace Academy, and the Biological Academy. Zeng Shuo is already the chairman of the coalition government, the council is long gone, Adolf is the president of the Academy of Astronautics, Xu Shan is the director of the Institute of Biology, and the Military Academy is headed by a young man who is Williams's son, William.

Institutions like the Institute of Ecology had to be banned due to a lack of professionals and resources. If Zhou Ran can survive the impact, maybe the ecological institute will survive......

In the past ten years, there is another painful life, that is Ye Dongming.

After a great impact and ten years of hard survival, he has long seen through life and death, and no longer holds out any hope for the future of mankind. He had wanted to die countless times, but an obsession in his heart made him unbearable.

That was before Zhang Tianlin died, and the last person he saw was Ye Dongming.

As he lay dying, he repented of the sins he had committed in this life, knowing that he could not forgive himself. However, he didn't want to see the human race perish, and when the last bit of humanity in his heart emanated, it was also when he was about to leave this fragmented world, and he made one last wish to Ye Dongming: to use the last remaining bit of genetic technology to leave a seed for mankind.

"The scientific and technological civilization of mankind is about to come to an end, and then it will enter a society that drinks blood, and the war for resources must be inevitable, and everything will go back to hundreds of years ago. It's a reincarnation, and it seems like some kind of force is controlling everything. I hope that you can leave the genes of the scientific and technological civilization of mankind so far, even if it is your own memory, so that one day, so that mankind can follow this memory to find the glory of our time. ”

This was the last thing Zhang Tianlin said before he died, Ye Dongming was very sad, after all, it was this person who gave him a second life. He had no choice, and resolutely agreed to Zhang Tianlin's last request. Therefore, Zhang Tianlin's words support that Ye Dongming survived the ten years after the big impact.

In the past ten years, Ye Dongming devoted himself to this arduous task, studying how to permanently preserve his memories in the form of "genetic files", and one day in the future, someone can open this "genetic file" and continue the light of mankind.

He had imagined a revival of humanity countless times, but the experience of the past ten years had made him realize that it was impossible for them to achieve it in this era. The terrible conditions created by the impact are becoming less and less suitable for human beings, and resources are becoming more and more scarce, and in ten or twenty years, human beings will be starved to death.

In the past 10 years since the impact, the military, aerospace, electric power, science and technology, medical and other fields have been in a downward spiral, and in the end, it is difficult to guarantee even a basic life.

In the next twenty years, Ye Dongming thought that he would live for so many more years, but, unfortunately, as he expected, he did not see the hope of mankind. The only thing to be thankful for is that he accomplished his mission with extremely limited resources. Let's not talk about whether this "genetic document" is useful, but at least, in the years when he was buried in the yellow sand, he still has something to look forward to.

Over the next decade, the coalition government collapsed completely, and the surviving human race fought for the scarce resources they could survive, and the crippled world was in a state of chaos. After decades of struggle and killing, the only remaining guns and ammunition of mankind have been exhausted, and the world has temporarily returned to calm, but this calm is like a lake, the surface of the water is calm like a mirror, but under the surface of the water is a dark tide surging!
