SpaceX.
Conference hall.
Professor Lance listened solemnly to the secretary of the airborne leader conveying the message from above, "This is probably the news."
"This is the condition that Galaxy can provide us with in the future."
"First support, second support and third support."
"The above means that we can only choose the second level of support at most, and intercept our densely populated areas, asteroid fragments that will cause moderate casualties, and no more than five areas that require advanced protection." The secretary said, "And One of the key areas requiring advanced protection is the Atlantis space city."
"What, why?" Professor Lance couldn't believe it.
"Why can't you choose the third gear."
"As long as we pay a certain price, we can better protect our civilians through Galaxy Future, why not?" Professor Lance was very puzzled, his face flushed abnormally.
The secretary on the other end of the call was not moved by it, and said in a cold voice: "Professor Lance, please check your position clearly."
"I'm not here to negotiate with you, but to inform you."
"You just need to tell me, under the key protection, can it or can't it protect the space city of Atlantis?"
"No, we can definitely... You know, asteroid fragments that are lower than the level that can cause moderate casualties are defined as fragments that can cause tens of thousands of casualties. Why can't we..." Professor Lance still wanted to work harder.
"There is a limit to how much we can pay."
"Human life is priceless." Professor Lance felt that he could still fight for it.
"No, no, professor, you are wrong. Human life is valuable. When some people die, just nail a few boards and dig a hole in the wilderness to bury them. You don’t even need planks, just burn them to ashes.”
"Moreover, it can also save us a lot of social welfare expenditures, social poverty alleviation expenditures, garbage cleaning, higher average quality of the population, and a better society. Isn't this happy for everyone." The secretary sneered, speaking slowly, listening Professor Lance felt cold in his heart.
"How can this be? The possibility of Atlantis being preserved is very small. I would like to apply for the key protection of the Atlantis space city in exchange for the low-level protection of several densely attacked residential areas." Professor Lance I begged, said bravely.
The secretary was already very upset. Hearing what Professor Lance said, his expression changed immediately and he slapped the table.
"Enough! Atlantis must be kept!" The secretary yelled, "Think about your daughter, think about your wife, and your old parents."
"As long as you do your best, they will be safely taken to the underground shelter in the key protection area..."
"Otherwise, you understand the consequences..."
Professor Lance seemed to have been hit hard on the head, and he opened his mouth. In the end, nothing could be said. He was filled with a sense of powerlessness. He wanted to fight, and he wanted to do something for this land and nation, but he was too powerless. up.
"Think about it, and then answer me, how to protect our Atlantis space city, the space city, no matter what, you must keep it for me. If you can't keep it, your former boss will be your fate!"
"No, you will be worse than him, you still have family members, understand!"
Pat, the phone hung up.
Lance felt extremely chilled.
Looking at the asteroid fragments on the big screen, Lance felt a wave of heartfelt despair.
"professor……"
"Professor..." The surrounding assistants didn't know how to persuade him at this time.
Lance waved his hand, took a deep breath, sighed again, and shook his hand: "I'm fine."
"You say, why we want to do something practical, it's so difficult."
"Obviously there is no way to keep it, they have to do their best to keep it."
"Obviously an extremely precious life, a life that has the opportunity to protect, but they treat it like nothing..."
Lance was a little desperate.
The lieutenants didn't know what to say.
"Professor, it's not your fault..."
"It's them……"
Lance shook his head: "Let's go, go out."
"But, our reporting plan?" the deputy reminded.
Lance looked at the report in front of him and sneered, "Report, what is the report?"
"They can't listen to it. According to the current debris distribution area, our Atlantis is in one of several dense areas, and such debris covers the blow."
"Our Atlantis, there is a [-]% chance that it will be directly destroyed, and there is only a less than [-]% chance that it may survive..." Professor Lance said.
Everyone was silent. From the rude words passed by the secretary above, they were not stupid and knew what they wanted.They will never accept such information, and instead will put pressure on them.
And when the time comes, it's not just Lance who may bear the pressure, but more people will be involved.
Professor Lance it's for their own good.
The crowd remained silent.
"Go out."
"I am responsible." Professor Lance said after a long silence.
Time passed slowly, and everyone walked out of the conference room full of thoughts. After the door was closed, no one knew what Professor Lance had prepared inside.
Time passed slowly.
The asteroid debris cloud is already extremely close to the earth.
In Space Exploration Company's Atlantis, all the electromagnetic pulse weapons have been used to their limit at this time. After being used at full capacity for such a long time, these weapons are faced with not only the problem of insufficient weapon power, but also the impending energy collapse. There are many problems such as shortages and wearing parts falling into scrap state.
Ordinary times are fine, but at such a critical moment, parts are scrapped, and the personnel in charge of emergency repairs in the space city are completely overwhelmed. Some vulnerable parts often break down again not long after they are replaced, and the maintenance task is very large.
This is a fierce battle for them.
At such a critical moment.
The fourth wave of interception belonging to the future of Galaxy has been officially launched.
A large number of warheads rose from the ground, the warheads tore through the atmosphere, and went straight to the target, the closer the distance, the more accurate the shooting.
The good news is that the asteroid fragments that pose a major threat will further break up and the fragments will become smaller. After falling into the atmosphere, the damage to the ground will be further reduced after being burned by the atmosphere.
However, the bad news is that before entering the atmosphere, and even after entering the atmosphere, the number of debris will further increase and it will become more difficult to defend against.
With the current human technology, on the ground, except for Galaxy's future orbital guns, asteroid fragments of several kilometers per second are almost defenseless after entering the atmosphere.
……
Galaxy Future Control Center.
"Many variable parameters for defense and interception have been set!"
"The active defense interception program has been loaded!"
"start!"
……
On the big screen, 24 secondary cannons, with the combination of supercomputing and 5G network, quickly block space targets like arms, and at the same time, the star palace in synchronous orbit is like an interstellar fortress. A large number of plasma cannons are constantly fired, like a fire that is constantly breathing fire, and the high temperature of millions of degrees will directly melt the incoming targets.
"It must be stopped!"
"It must be stopped!"
The audience in front of the live broadcast were all praying.
Seeing that, the asteroid debris cloud is about to rendezvous.
Everyone is even more nervous.
And this time, SpaceX.
The red alert here has been uninterrupted since the beginning of the fourth wave of interception.
A large number of sirens merged together, everyone was upset and couldn't turn it off.
Professor Lance was anxiously directing in the control center, but with limited manpower, he saw a large number of debris slowly approaching the Atlantis Space City, but he could only watch as the Atlantis Space City was about to be destroyed. Destiny to destroy.
There is no way, there are too many fragments, and many of the electromagnetic pulse cannons are no longer usable.
To make matters worse, the energy of the space city is almost exhausted, and even its own anti-gravity system cannot be maintained. It is more difficult for the workers to repair the electromagnetic pulse weapon, and the power of the launch is even more limited. Some muzzles are simply broken and cannot be fired...
Fate seems to have been doomed.
"professor!"
"Professor..." the deputies were distraught.
And at this moment, the red phone in the control center rang quickly.
Jingle bell... Jingle bell...
It was still very ear-piercing amidst such one after another of sirens.
Of course Lance knew what the call was, so he silently picked up the receiver: "It's me."
As soon as the phone was connected, there was an angry roar from the other end: "Lance, are you a stupid pig?"
"This is the answer sheet you handed in?"
On the other end of the call was the secretary of the airborne leader, and when he opened his mouth, there was a veiled scolding.
"What do you have to explain!"
"I'm a scientist, not a magician!" Professor Lance said aggrievedly.
"What a bastard scientist. Incompetence is incompetence. Is it not as good as magic to falsely accuse science?"
Professor Lance was speechless.
After another angry roar on the other end of the phone, he finally calmed down a little: "No matter what method you use, Atlantis must be saved."
"If you can't keep Atlantis, no one can keep you..."
pat...
The call was placed again. The voice of the phone was so loud that anyone could hear the deep threat coming from the phone.
Everyone looked at Lance, and then looked again. Baloric, who was still lying on the seat not far away, felt both deep sympathy and an invisible sadness.
"professor……"
"professor……"
Lance laughed miserably and waved his hands: "Don't worry about me, continue!"
"Everyone do their best."
The crowd was dejected.
In space, there is a collision of forces.
Large pieces of debris were shattered, and for the spacecraft, the most terrifying thing was the densely packed small pieces.
The target is small, but the power is very large.
In the blink of an eye, the high-orbit satellite, which was helplessly in this death orbit, almost disappeared immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the debris came over the space city of Atlantis.
The next moment, a large amount of flames erupted from the Atlantis space city, which could not be stopped, and there was no way to stop it. The kinetic energy of several kilometers per second, and the impact of any small fragment, would be a disaster for the space city.
Not to mention, the dense debris cloud that almost covered the entire orbit at this time.
The maintenance personnel staying in the space city let out an astonishing scream almost immediately. The space city was collapsing. Someone was taken out of the space station by the explosion inside the sky city. In panic, they were hit by meteorite fragments. After being punctured, the blood didn't flow out much at all, and was directly frozen by the ultra-low temperature.
A terrible scene is unfolding.
Everyone couldn't help covering their mouths and exclaiming, their eyes widened with horror and sadness.
The situation has reached the point of no return, and the destruction is beginning.
And at this moment, the phone rang again like a reminder.
"Lance! Listen, I'm giving you one last chance now. Before the space city is completely space-time, let him crash into the future star palace of the galaxy. At worst, the space ladder will be knocked down!" The secretary on the other end of the phone shouted frantically.
Lance laughed miserably when he heard this, "Impossible."
The secretary felt a little unbelievable, "How is it impossible? The expert group has evaluated that it is completely achievable to apply orbital thrust before losing control!"
Lance sneered: "I said, I can't do such a thing!"
"I will never let my hard work do such a despicable thing at the last moment, never!"
"You..." The secretary was impatient.
"I've had enough!" Lance snarled back.
"Even if you want to move, you have no chance to move!"
"The energy of the space city's power system has been exhausted, and the orbit change command has been locked, and it will be executed immediately. However, the destination is not the future of the galaxy, nor the space ladder, but the Pacific Ocean."
"If he is destined to sink, I will finish it myself."
"Atlantis will sink in the Pacific Ocean this time!"
Snapped……
Lance took the initiative to hang up the short message, and the surrounding was silent, "I'll go to the office..."
……
After a few minutes.
Atlantis, covered by asteroid debris, is gradually disintegrating, but according to inertia, most of the debris is gradually sliding towards the Pacific Ocean.
The burning fragments and intense fire seemed to signify the end of an era.
There was a crisp bang... Everyone looked at the office in disbelief.
The door was rushed open by the deputy, and Lance was seen lying in a pool of blood, and a delicate pistol maintained his last dignity...
"Professor Lance!"
"Professor Lance!"
Everyone is sad, this is the result of the struggle, but no one is a winner...
And almost at the same time, meteor showers seemed to fall in the sky all over the world. A large number of asteroid fragments pierced the sky, tore the air, and fell directly towards the ground.
Most of them burned up in the violent friction, however, there were still quite a few fragments that directly hit the ground.
Violent explosions, blazing fire, strong impact...
Death, cries, as if the world is ending.
The areas with the most intensive damage are the Beimi Continent and the islands in eastern Asia. As for Xia Kingdom, it is exactly as planned. The limited areas are all concentrated in uninhabited areas...
