"Countdown to Star Destroyer Cannon impact is 7 minutes..."
"Star Destroyer Cannon impact countdown to 6 minutes..."
The staff of the United Earth Defense Agency will broadcast the report every minute.
According to calculations, this impact will produce a strong shock wave, and radio signals may be interrupted by then.
Liu Ning's hands were sweating, and together with Chief Engineer Yang and Colonel Chu, they stared at the watch in their hands, waiting for the call from the moon.
She thought selfishly, if there was no call from the moon within 6 minutes, could she go to the underground shelter to hide?
"Didi~~!"
Finally, the watch rang, and the moon call finally came.
"Hurry up!" Colonel Chu urged.
Liu Ning quickly pressed the connect button and selected the full environment mode, which allowed the other party to see the entire situation on his side.
Brush!
The projection appeared, and in addition to the familiar Zhang Yixia, there was also a strange man.
"Sister Xia, how are you?!" Liu Ning asked quickly.
Zhang Yixia's expression was a little reserved, she forced a smile, turned her palms to Zhao Yu, and introduced: "This is Zhao Yu, the person in charge of our base's grounding to the earth. He will talk to you next..."
The person in charge of docking with the earth?!
Everyone was shocked and looked at Zhao Yu repeatedly.
Colonel Chu, however, didn't care so much, and said quickly: "Hello, Mr. Zhao, my surname is Chu, and I am the person in charge of connecting the earth with your side. At this critical moment, with all due respect, how are you discussing about saving the earth?
?!"
Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said: "Hello Mr. Chu, time is limited, so I will keep the story short!"
"We can change the trajectory of that asteroid, but we need you to agree to three conditions."
"What three conditions?!" At this juncture, not to mention three, but thirty Colonels of Chu had to agree, but he still held back and decided to listen.
"First, the Earth will unconditionally open its treaty ports and allow our goods to enter the Earth market..."
"Two, the Earth must not carry out any plans or actions that are not beneficial to us..."
"Three, the final interpretation right of the above two items belongs to us."
Commerce, self-defense?
Colonel Chu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Yu's conditions. He was afraid that the other party would enslave the earth, which would be too difficult a choice.
Although the third item is a hidden danger, at this time, he can only agree.
Colonel Chu nodded and said: "Yes, I guarantee it in the name of the United Earth Defense Agency..."
"No need for your guarantee!"
Zhao Yu chuckled lightly and said: "We can make the asteroid leave the earth, and naturally we can also make it return to the earth. If you breach the contract, we can just let the asteroid return to its original trajectory..." "You have your rules, and we have ours. Integrity is the prerequisite for cooperation. If you don't keep your word, we will deal with it in our own way..."
This new person in charge of negotiating with the Earth is very tough!
The attitude expressed in these two sentences is very clear, which is equivalent to telling them that there can no longer be small actions on the earth such as equipment failure and the rocket hitting the moon.
Otherwise, let the earth be destroyed.
The content is simple and easy to understand, and the measures are simple and crude.
Colonel Chu's heart shivered, and he unconsciously missed Bajie.
He nodded solemnly and said: "Mr. Zhao, please rest assured that we will never breach the contract. Now, please save the earth!"
"Hmm!"
Zhao Yu nodded and continued: "I will visit Earth in a few days, and then we will discuss trade in detail."
When the call ended, Colonel Chu sat down on the chair, as if he had just finished a sauna and was covered in sweat.
The heart is beating wildly.
The phone call just now determined the life and death of the earth's eight billion people and trillions of living things.
The pressure was as heavy as a thousand pounds, causing his adrenaline to surge to the point where his whole body was numb.
"Old Chu, are you okay?!"
Manager Yang stepped forward and patted his shoulder, asking with concern.
This move made Colonel Chu a little surprised, and he didn't know when he changed his gender.
Chief Engineer Yang understood his eyes and said with a smile: "You said before that you were working for the people and the country. I didn't fully believe it. But now, even though you are clearly qualified to enter the underground shelter, you still choose to stay.
The ground..."
Colonel Chu used practical actions to prove that what he said was true.
Chief Engineer Yang admired this very much. While Colonel Chu was breathing heavily, he asked: "Now, do we need to notify the people in the shelter and let them come out?"
Colonel Chu shook his head, took a few deep breaths, and after calming down a bit, he said: "No, let them continue to stay until they are sure that the asteroid will not hit the earth..."
At this point he paused.
Zhao Yu previously used an understatement to describe a threat hanging over the heads of people on earth.
That is the lunar base, which can allow asteroids to hit the earth again at any time.
This means that they may want to build a real underground city and let a group of humans become underground people, so that no matter what the future holds, they can retain the spark of civilization.
These things were too long ago, and the most important thing now is that the earth is not destroyed. Colonel Chu didn't think too much about it, and stood up with Liu Ning's help.
"KADP-What's the trajectory of the asteroid?"
"Still flying towards the earth..."
"What happened to the Star Destroyer Cannon?"
During the negotiation, he refrained from asking about the Star Destroyer Cannon. The main reason was that this cannon was directly related to the failure of their rocket to blow up the alien base.
The fault lies with them in the first place. The other party can only respond, so he has no reason to let the other party cancel the shot.
As long as the earth is not destroyed, a small shock can be accepted and must be accepted.
"The Star Destroyer Cannon has one minute left to hit the earth..."
It is equivalent to the power of a billion tons of TNT explosion. Colonel Chu does not know how powerful it is.
The largest nuclear bomb ever exploded on earth was only as powerful as 50 million tons of TNT.
No one knows what the consequences of a 20-fold gap will be.
One minute later.
Most of the electronic equipment in the control room was affected and the screen went completely black.
This is the electromagnetic wave interference generated after the explosion, and the propagation speed is close to the speed of light.
"Report, satellite signal interruption..."
"Report, radio signal interruption..."
A series of reports announced that the Star Destroyer Cannon had hit the earth.
There was chaos in the control room.
"Quiet!"
After controlling the situation, Colonel Chu suddenly asked: "How fast does the seismic wave propagate?"
"Longitudinal waves are 5~7 kilometers/second, transverse waves are 3~4 kilometers/second..."
"Everyone, suspend all work, find a fixed point, and fix your body..."
The power equivalent to the explosion of 1 billion tons of TNT will definitely produce an earthquake of considerable magnitude, and it may even reach them.
Upon seeing this, all the staff took action and looked for various ways to secure themselves.
Colonel Chu also found a rope and tied himself to the corner.
After doing this, before he could say anything, his body suddenly felt dizzy.
"Plop~!"
Several people who couldn't stand firm were thrown to the ground.
