Chapter 20: Twenty-Four Hours of Crisis (3)

Ren Tao is very calm, even so calm that he is a bit cold.

As he walked in the middle of the team, he felt that there was silence all around him. Countless clues, countless scene fragments, and countless simulated speculations all appeared in his mind as naturally as spring water. Everything allowed him to see clearly through the fog.

everything of.

First of all, the earthquake happened very suddenly. According to Ren Tao's guess, it was impossible to build this underground temporary residence in the earthquake zone. In fact, in order to ensure the safety of these more than 120,000 people, the scientists and Captain Yao

The source must have been selected again and again. The most likely possibility is that there is no possibility of earthquakes in this underground temporary residence.

Then there is the issue of quality. Ren Tao can say with certainty that the quality is absolutely very good, and has even exceeded the standard value line for many ultra-high quality products. After the big earthquake, there was no such thing underground.

This can be seen when large-scale collapses occur.

So, since it is not an earthquake factor or a mass factor, the only possibility of causing this disaster is from the outside world...

A panoramic picture of this star field flashed in Ren Tao's mind. It is an elliptical asteroid belt composed of countless asteroids, and this underground temporary residence was formed by digging from the largest asteroid fragment.

, if earthquakes and disasters do not occur internally, then the only possibility is a disaster caused by the outside, that is, other asteroids may impact the asteroid they are on, and the extent of the impact may be quite large.

.

Moreover, there is a saying in the scientific community that as long as it is possible to happen, no matter how small the probability is, it will definitely happen. Of course, this is just a saying, but since there is such a saying, it has its basis in reality.

of.

Since there has been one impact, there will inevitably be a second impact, a third, and a fourth, until it is completely merged into an Earth-like planet. The key factor is...

When will the next impact occur?!

Ren Tao knew one thing very well. If he returned to the Hope first, he would have hope of survival. The government of the Hope would probably abandon those who could not be saved at the most dangerous moment. This was determined by realistic conditions. There was no benevolence or justice.

Cruelty or something like that, instead of finishing it with everyone, it is better to keep the remaining fire. This is related to the continuation of human civilization. Ren Tao is sure that as long as the Hope Government is still controlled by that Major Yao Yuan, it will definitely issue similar orders.

Order.

Although the Hope only has a total of more than 120,000 people, Ren Tao absolutely does not believe that the Hope government does not have a large number of frozen sperm and eggs from humans. If a large number of people are really lost, the Hope government will definitely use these frozen sperm and eggs.

, using simulations to generate new human babies.

Just like the governments of various countries on the original Earth, after confirming that the large spacecraft was unusable, they re-created safe and qualified small spacecrafts. Although they may only be able to carry a few thousand or ten or twenty thousand people, the frozen sperm they carried

With eggs, at least one million people can be born. All they need is a suitable environment.

So they are not disposable...

(Zhang Heng frequently wandered around the gate before. He is a new human who foresees danger. In other words, he probably sensed the danger at the gate. Under such circumstances, the personnel who returned to the Hope through the gate first must be

Those scientists and researchers, and perhaps their families, number in the thousands. They need to be divided into four or five batches. Next, there should be new humans and people with special professions, such as doctors, and maybe the wounded.

Might be among them...)

Ren Tao was thinking silently along the way. When he thought of this, his heart suddenly relaxed. Ren Chuanyue was already a confirmed new human being, so her return to the Hope should be among the top ones, as long as she could return safely.

Hope, then there is nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, Ren Tao, who had been wearing a serious expression, finally relaxed and turned into the natural expression he had always had. He followed the crowd and walked silently towards the second floor warehouse.

At the same time, on the Hope, the personnel here are also working urgently. In fact, during the previous violent earthquake, the Hope also felt the earthquake, and not only felt it, some people even felt it through

The scene outside was visible from the window.

Those asteroids that were originally stationary suddenly started to move, as if there was a huge magnet attracting them. In the extremely far distance visible to the naked eye, countless smallest asteroids were violently colliding and tumbling, and those tens of thousands of

Cubic-meter asteroids are also moving and colliding. The most terrifying thing is, I don’t know if it’s an illusion. The group of people at the window seem to think that there is another giant asteroid fragment in the distance. It seems to be slowly moving.

Get closer this way.

Dramatic changes have occurred, but currently the Hope is still mostly out of power, unable to communicate with its temporary underground residence. I don’t know what happened there, nor what happened in this star field. Everything is like this.

of confusion.

"Quick, quick, quick! Don't move those energy circuits at the end! Immediately transform the few energy circuits in front of you, and use the old energy circuits for the rest. Don't move anymore! Speed, speed, faster!"

The energy circuit transformation engineering team is a transformation team composed of thousands of technical staff. They are led by the famous Chinese-German engineer Liu Rende, who has even participated in the manufacturing project of a space station on Earth. He almost screamed at the top of his lungs

was yelling, and at the same time he also participated in the homework.

"Hurry up! This energy loop only needs to end. It will take about fifteen minutes. At that time, the power system of the Hope will be activated immediately, and the life support system, circulation system and anti-gravity system of the Hope will be activated at the same time.

Don’t worry about anything else for now, just do your best to finish building this place!” Liu Rende said loudly to the people around him.

Another engineer next to him suddenly said: "Liu, is this okay? What about the power supply of the detection system? We don't know what happened, how about we transform the energy circuit there first?"

Liu Rende said without looking back: "Is there any difference between knowing and not knowing? Even if you know that this place will be completely destroyed in the next second, do you think we can leave early? No, it's useless!"

"There are more than 120,000 people underground, not to mention the captain among them. Just the lack of scientists and researchers, do you know what this means?"

Liu Rende said meaningfully: "This means that we humans have been extinct from civilization. The physical body is really too fragile in this universe. I can teach my children about various electrical modifications, but I can teach them about chemistry."

, biological, energy, physical knowledge? No! We have no way to escape. Now we can only complete the construction of the energy circuit of the Hope's life-support system, then contact the underground temporary residence, and then wait for the scientists to contact most of the

Return of personnel.”

The engineer was stunned, and after a long while he sighed and said: "Yes, as you said, the absence of those scientists and researchers actually means that we humans have become extinct. I understand... Liu,

I will push the area I am responsible for again to see if the time can be moved forward even further."

Liu Rende nodded and said: "Now we can only do our best and pray at the same time... Pray that the underground temporary residence still exists, and pray that God can have mercy on us humans..."

"God?"

Yao Yuan directed the rescue work on the first floor, and at the same time summoned all uninjured scientists, researchers, and their families to one place. In the process, he saw many people praying and praying to each other.

God, pray to the gods you believe in, such as Allah, Buddha, or ancestors.

Yao Yuan did not blame anything. In fact, to a certain extent, these people with faith are much more reliable than those without faith in critical moments. At the same time, Yao Yuan also discovered a shortcoming of his own.

It's a religious issue.

There are people from many different countries, skin colors, and languages ​​on board the Hope. These secular, earthly things are actually very easy to solve. And as of now, with the great cause of human beings on earth, most of them have been solved, and the rest is just

It just takes time to get used to it. Even if some races have historical factors, in this situation where they coexist in the same spaceship and have common interests and life and death, racial hatred is not a big problem. It really only needs to be

Just time will do.

The real big problem has not been revealed so far, but it does exist secretly, so much so that Yao Yuan has always ignored it... That is the factor of faith.

In this regard, the Chinese, or Asian peoples, may have the best solution. They are unbelievers or shallow believers, so the problem is basically not big. The real problems that are most difficult to solve are the problems in Europe, America and the Middle East...

However, this is a sensitive area. Even if Yao Yuan knows the existence of this problem, he does not dare to touch it easily. Moreover, it is not the time to think about this problem now, so he can only keep it in his heart for the future.

While Yao Yuan was thinking and waiting silently, the first batch of spacesuits was finally brought, and the personnel brought were naturally soldiers. Then, Yao Yuan forcibly ordered all scientists, researchers, and their families to wear these first.

spacesuits, and then ordered a group of fifty soldiers to also put on spacesuits and begin escorting these most important personnel back to the Hope.
