"Mhm." Tianhun agreed first, then immediately reacted and said hoarsely, "How … How did you know? This is top secret. "
Qi Yue sighed in his heart. It seemed like his status in the Yanhuang Republic was still far from what Yummou was in Greece! She had informed him immediately, but now they still had to hide it from him.
"It's not convenient for me to tell you how I know, but is this true?" Qi Yue said in a low voice.
Tianhun nodded solemnly and said, "No matter how you found out, this is indeed true. An asteroid will enter the Earth's atmosphere in 37 days. Judging from its current trajectory, it will hit the Earth. Moreover, the location is very scary. It's the Pacific Ocean. If the asteroid hits the Pacific Ocean, then even though it's only one-70th the size of Earth, the powerful impact will definitely cause Earth to deviate from its orbit. At the same time, all living things on Earth will become extinct because of this devastating disaster. One-70th! It's not much smaller than the moon. Can you imagine it? "
Qi Yue would rather Yummou had lied to him again than to know this truth. However, the truth was right in front of him.
"What do we do now? How does Yanhuang plan to deal with it? "
Tianhun smiled bitterly and said, "How else can we deal with it? Now the leaders of various countries are in close discussion. This is no longer a problem for one country, but a problem for the entire human race. Within 37 days. We have to come up with an effective countermeasure. Otherwise, human civilization will be destroyed. There is only one feasible solution now, and it's also our only chance. That is to deviate the orbit of the asteroid and not coincide with Earth's orbit. In that case, as long as it deviates from Earth's orbit, it won't hit Earth. All the problems will be solved. Currently, the United States has already sent out a space exploration plane to fly in the direction of the asteroid. Once the composition of the asteroid is obtained, the final preparations of the various countries will immediately begin. "
Qi Yue scratched his head and said, "I don't understand all this, Big Brother Tianhun. You just need to tell me, how likely is it that we can deviate this asteroid from its orbit? "
Tianhun solemnly looked at Qi Yue and said, "I don't know. If the structure of this small planet is very loose, If the composition isn't heavy metal, we have a 70% chance of success. Otherwise, we only have a 30% chance. The most powerful weapon in the world was undoubtedly the nuclear bomb. However, a large number of nuclear bombs exploded, even in outer space. It could not be too close to Earth, otherwise, the shockwave would have a drastic impact on Earth's climate. Therefore, the ground bombardment had to be carried out in outer space. Adding up the number of nuclear bombs in each country … There were about 15,000 of them, but it was impossible to use all of them. This was because there were very few intercontinental missiles that could reach outer space. There were only about 400 of them in the entire world. Even if the entire world worked together, they could only gather 500 of them before the asteroid arrived to load the most powerful nuclear bomb. Whether these 500 nuclear bombs can knock the asteroid out of its orbit will determine whether we can continue to survive. "
Qi Yue frowned. "I seem to have heard that all the nuclear bombs in the world are enough to destroy the entire Earth! Why can't we do anything to an asteroid that's only one-70th the size of Earth? "
Tianhun rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, there's a problem with your understanding. Destroying Earth means destroying all living things on Earth. Earth will be shrouded in radiation. It doesn't mean blowing up Earth. Earth is so big. Although the power of the nuclear bomb is not small, I'm afraid it won't be able to penetrate the Earth's crust. Destroying an asteroid and destroying Earth are two completely different concepts. We have to try our best to blow it up or make it deviate from its orbit. As for what's on its surface, it has nothing to do with us. Now, we just hope that the asteroid doesn't contain too much heavy metal. Otherwise, we might really be finished. "
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment before he understood. He said with some embarrassment, "I'm illiterate, Big Brother Tianhun. We can only continue to wait. Why did General Ji ask me to come back? "
Tianhun's expression changed, and he said, "You should ask the General yourself. It's not convenient for me to tell you."
Soon, they arrived at the National Space Administration. Tianhun had a special pass in his car, so they didn't encounter any obstacles. When Tianhun brought Qi Yue to a hall, even Qi Yue couldn't help but be secretly surprised. There was a huge screen in the middle of the hall, and many things that Qi Yue couldn't understand were displayed on it. However, he could recognize the stars on the shoulders of the people standing in the hall. They were at least senior colonels. The majority of them had General Stars. Obviously, they were the military leaders of the Yanhuang Republic. Everyone looked very serious, and they kept discussing something with each other, causing the hall to be a little noisy.
Tianhun asked Qi Yue to stand there and wait for a while. He immediately went to find General Ji.
Qi Yue looked around. He was naturally very worried about the destruction of Earth. However, even a powerhouse like him couldn't possibly think that he could stop the disaster brought by the asteroid with his own strength. After all, no matter how strong a person was, there was still a limit. He couldn't go against the entire universe. Now, he could only hope that the various countries could unite to fight against this disaster. Master, Master, your predictions are too strong. The first wave of disaster is already coming in this way. What can I, Kirin, do?
Not long after, General Ji and Tianhun walked over together. The old man looked very serious and seemed to have aged a little. He looked at Qi Yue, forced a smile, and said, "Let's go. Follow me to the temporary meeting room." He patted Qi Yue's shoulder affectionately and brought him to the temporary office set up by the National Space Administration.
General Ji asked Tianhun to stand guard outside. Without his orders, no one was allowed to come in and disturb them.
"Just now, Tianhun told me that he has already told you the general situation," General Ji said seriously.
Qi Yue nodded and said, "Yes. I already know. "
General Ji said, "First of all, this matter definitely can't be spread. Right now, the entire matter is still strictly confidential. This is to prevent the public from panicking."
Qi Yue said, "I understand. Don't worry. Uncle, what did you call me here for? "
General Ji sighed and said, "Originally, I didn't want to rely on you guys. However, as the owner of the Diamond Guardian Medal, when a national disaster comes, we really need you to step forward. After the chairman consulted with the State Council, he decided to temporarily send you to the Yan Huang Soul to carry out a special mission with it. "
Qi Yue said, "Uncle. I heard from Big Brother Tianhun that nuclear bombs are needed to solve the problem this time. What can I do? You're not asking me to steal nuclear bombs from other countries, are you? I think so. In the face of a calamity that threatens the entire human race, those powerful countries won't be selfish anymore. "
General Ji nodded and said, "That's right. Facing the upcoming disaster, the various countries are unprecedentedly united. The United States, which has always been the hegemon, is the most nervous. Not only did they announce the extent of their detection and the number of nuclear bombs they have, but they also shared their technological advantage with other countries. It was for the sake of surviving this crisis. The mission you're about to carry out is extremely dangerous. I called you here today to ask for your opinion. If you're not willing, even if I have to lose a few stars on my shoulders, I'll do my best to fight for it for you. "
Qi Yue didn't directly answer whether he agreed or not. He said calmly, "Uncle, what kind of mission is it? I need to know the specifics before I can decide. "
General Ji said, "It's like this. The number of intercontinental missiles in each country is very limited. Furthermore, among these intercontinental missiles, there are even fewer that can really hit that small planet at a sufficient distance. Our biggest problem now is that we can't unleash the power of a large number of nuclear bombs. Therefore, after the discussion between the various countries, no matter what the composition of that small planet is, we have to make first-hand preparations. Since the nuclear bombs can't be launched with intercontinental missiles, we have to send a spacecraft to launch the nuclear bomb at close range and detonate it on the small planet. The spacecraft can't be launched too close, because no matter how small the small planet's density is, it has a strong gravitational force. Once the spacecraft is attracted to it, the power of the nuclear bomb might not be able to be unleashed. Therefore, after the discussion between the various countries, they decided to use manpower to trigger the detonation of the nuclear bomb. The United States has developed a special device that can be worn by a person and used to launch the nuclear bomb. In other words, the mission this time is for you to take the spacecraft to outer space, and after you're a certain distance away from the small planet, the spacecraft will launch you. When the small planet arrives, you'll have to launch the nuclear bomb on you to play a key role. "
After hearing General Ji's words, Qi Yue couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Although General Ji didn't say it explicitly, he could understand that this was obviously a suicide attack! Using one's body to launch the nuclear bomb, not to mention whether one would be affected by the nuclear bomb due to the close distance, just the various changes in the universe and the gravitational force produced by the small planet were already a huge problem. This was no longer a problem of survival. The chances of survival might not even be one in a thousand. However, this was also the only solution for the current problem.
General Ji couldn't help but sigh when he saw the slight change in Qi Yue's expression. He said, "Of course, if the intercontinental missiles can successfully divert the small planet's orbit with the power of the nuclear bomb, you won't need to carry out the next step of the operation. However, in order to prepare for a rainy day, we have to be prepared. Our country has the third largest number of nuclear bombs in the world. For the sake of the world's safety, we are duty-bound. The weight of the nuclear bomb developed by the United States exceeds 500 kilograms, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can carry. Even among the Soul of Yan Huang, only a small number of people can do it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have considered you. Qi Yue, go back and think about it. Give me a clear answer in 10 days. "
Qi Yue smiled and shook his head. "Uncle, there's no need for 10 days. I'll give you an answer now. I'm willing to go. "
These four simple words expressed Qi Yue's determination. General Ji's eyes couldn't help but moisten when he saw his resolute gaze. This general who had spent his entire life in the military said in a trembling voice, "Qi Yue, y-you're really willing to go? But, Ming Ming, she … "
Qi Yue smiled faintly and said, "Uncle, don't tell Ming Ming anything before I set off. Or, when the country needs us, all the Zodiac Guardian God warriors are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country. If the Earth is destroyed, we won't be the only ones who will die. Moreover, we might not necessarily die during this operation, right? There will always be a chance. I'm willing to go. Uncle, please tell the officer in charge of this operation that I'll definitely report to him before we set off. "
Ji Zhangming suddenly stood up. His old age didn't affect his upright posture. He gave Qi Yue a standard military salute. Tears glistened in his eyes as he looked at Qi Yue. He was so choked up that he couldn't speak.
Actually, Qi Yue wasn't very worried. To others, this kind of mission might really be a death sentence, but to him, the chances of survival were much higher. After all, he was the powerful King of the Zodiac. Even if a nuclear bomb exploded at his feet, it wouldn't be able to kill him. The only thing that could pose a threat to him was the environment in outer space. From what General Ji had just described, this operation of using human bodies to explode could only be carried out when they were a certain distance away from the Earth. If the spacecraft didn't come to pick them up after the mission, Qi Yue didn't know if he could fly back. Even if he could fly back, it would be a huge problem if he could use his physical strength to pass through the atmosphere. That was all he was thinking about now.
When Qi Yue returned to the Dragon Field Courtyard, it was already late. In order to increase his chances of survival, he specifically asked Tianhun for a lot of information about this small planet. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll always be victorious. After looking through the information, he finally understood why this small planet had appeared so suddenly.
It turned out that when the small planet entered the solar system, it was blocked by Pluto. After that, it brushed past Pluto and was blocked by a few other planets, so Earth's exploration satellites couldn't detect it. When they finally discovered it, it was already too late. The time left for humans was getting shorter and shorter.
"Qi Yue, what's the situation?" Everyone was waiting in the hall for Qi Yue's return. They were all worried. After all, no one wanted to die! And the destruction of the Earth was definitely the most thorough death scenario.
Qi Yue told everyone about his journey and didn't hide anything from them. At this time, his strength was limited. For the sake of the entire Earth and the Yanhuang Republic, he had to tell his partners everything. As for how to do it, it was up to them to decide.
After listening to Qi Yue's description, everyone was relieved. Hummer gestured at the strong muscles on his arms and said, "Isn't it just 500 kilograms? I can make five, no problem. "
Guan Ping nodded and said, "Then I'll do six."
Changjie said impatiently, "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? I'll do seven."
Ruyue smiled and said, "Alright, stop fighting. We'll talk about the details when the time comes. First of all, who doesn't want to participate in this operation, quickly stand up. "
"Me." Guan Jing suddenly stood up and looked at everyone's strange eyes. She smiled and said, "I'll participate."
"F * ck." He was given more than 20 middle fingers. Even Modi, who always paid attention to his image, couldn't help but despise this guy.
Qi Yue laughed and said, "Aren't you always afraid of death? Why? You're not afraid this time? "
Guan Jing said righteously, "That's right, I want to be a national hero. But, Boss, can we discuss this with the country? If we come back victorious, are you going to give me ten beauties and ten handsome guys? "
Qi Yue glared at him and said, "Enough, you call yourself a national hero. I think you're more like a coward. "
Guan Jing smiled and said, "To be honest, I'd be lying if I said I'm not afraid of death. But isn't it just throwing a nuclear bomb? I don't think it's too dangerous. If that asteroid hits us, the Earth will be gone. Wouldn't that be even worse? It's better to take a risk. No matter what, I can fight for a chance for my parents to survive. "
Since Guan Jing had decided to go, no one else could refuse. Ruyue leaned on Qi Yue's shoulder. "You don't need to worry about everyone. This operation would be suicidal for others, but not for us. We are not ordinary people, as the guardians of the East. This kind of situation is also the best time for us to display our usefulness. No one will back down. Qi Yue, do you want to recall our Twelve Zodiac Team to undergo special training during the era of the ancient beasts? With the condition of their bodies, 500 kilograms was nothing. If that's the case, we have at least a hundred people who can launch a nuclear attack. And then there was the Yan Huang Soul. The number of nuclear bombs can be maintained at a relatively high level, even exceeding the number of intercontinental missiles launched. "
After listening to Ruyue's words, Qi Yue couldn't help but have a strange thought. The Twelfth Zodiac Team, yes! With more than a hundred people, then the number of nuclear bombs would be greatly increased. However, would they be able to hold on? After all, compared to himself and the others. The ability of the Twelfth Zodiac Team was much weaker. However, they had their own giant beast companion, the Golden-Winged Eagle. With the Golden-Winged Eagle's ability to fly, resisting the gravity of the asteroid shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Thinking of this, Qi Yue nodded and said, "Ming Ming, contact Uncle Ji. I'll go over later and ask him to get a spacesuit manufacturer to help us make some special spacesuits."
Ming Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "Special spacesuits?" Her beautiful eyes lit up and she immediately reacted. "Okay, I understand. I'll go now. "
Qi Yue smiled faintly as he thought to himself, Since I've decided to go, I need to be fully prepared and maximize my chances of survival.
At this moment, Snow Girl's voice suddenly came from upstairs. "Dad, you have a phone call." Her voice sounded a little cold, as if she was very unhappy. Qi Yue flew upstairs and gave Snow Girl an inquiring look.
Snow Girl said in a deep voice, "It's Yummou."
Hearing that it was Yummou, Qi Yue couldn't help but frown. Why is she looking for me? While thinking about it, he returned to his room and answered the phone.
"What's the matter?" Qi Yue asked directly.
Yummou said, "Qi Yue, you should already know about it. This is an important moment for the survival of Earth. I think the Zodiac Guardian Warriors will also be asked to drop nuclear bombs on human bodies. Since Greece doesn't have a nuclear bomb, we weren't asked to help. However, the United States made a request and hoped that we could help them. I've already agreed. It is said that the Holy See has also agreed and is preparing to send a large number of people to participate in this operation. "
Qi Yue said, "What do you mean by telling me this?"
Yummou was silent for a while before saying, "Qi Yue, whether it is you or me, we don't want our partners to be hurt. Only by increasing our strength as much as possible can we have a greater chance of survival, and also be able to better complete this mission. Therefore, I want to cooperate with you. "
"Cooperation? Cooperation again? " Qi Yue couldn't help but sneer. "Forget it, I don't want to have an ally who can stab me at any time."
Yummou said, "Qi Yue, can't you trust me for once? This time is different. For the sake of Earth, we must cooperate closely. The most valuable spaceship in the world is in the United States. When the time comes, you will also have to take the same spaceship as us. If we can't cooperate with each other, I'm afraid it will cause serious consequences in the end. For the sake of Earth, can't you make a little sacrifice? It's just a temporary cooperation. After the cooperation, whether you want to fight or retaliate against us, I will accept it. "
Hearing Yummou's pleading voice. Qi Yue gradually calmed down. He also knew that on this matter, it was impossible for Yummou to deceive him. Although he didn't want to admit it … What Yummou said was right. Only by improving the strength of both sides as much as possible could they have a greater chance of survival when carrying out this death mission. As for whether they could really survive, it depended on God's will.
"Tell me, how do you want to cooperate." Qi Yue's tone became a little gentler.
Hearing Qi Yue's tone softened, Yummou was overjoyed. She hurriedly said, "It's like this. Right now, there are 30 days left before the start of the mission. Within these 30 days, all the countries will be preparing intensely. For us, we also need to undergo some space emergency training. This can be carried out in the countries themselves. With our abilities. This kind of training will at most take three days. It will be enough for us to adapt to the situation in space. And the remaining time, besides the necessary preparations for carrying out the mission, is still very loose. I hope to use this time to train with the Zodiac Guardian God warriors. That's it. It will be beneficial for our cooperation in space and the improvement of our strength. If you agree, the Vatican also hopes to participate in our emergency training this time. "
"Mutual cooperation training?" Qi Yue thought about it and said, "This is necessary. But concentrated training is fine. The location will be decided by me. Because whether it is you or the scum of the Vatican, you will not be able to gain my trust. If you are not afraid of being ambushed by us, come to Yanhuang. I will wait for you in the Yanhuang Republic. "
Yummou hesitated for a moment and said, "We have no problem with the Greek side. "We have no problem with the Greek side. As for the Vatican, I'll have to seek their opinion. No matter what the result is, in a week, my Zodiac Guardians and I will go to Yanhuang again. Wait for my call. " It was not easy to hear Qi Yue's tone soften. She hoped to keep this feeling, so she did not say much and hung up the phone. She went to discuss with the Pope.
Just as Yummou had said. After deciding to participate in this mission, Qi Yue also informed the four big families of Yanhuang to recall the Twelve Zodiac Teams and prepare to receive special space training from the country. At the same time, Qi Yue asked General Ji to keep it strictly confidential. He released Little Peng and redesigned the spacesuits for the members of the Twelve Zodiac Teams according to their sizes. The main design was the helmets and oxygen equipment. After all, the bodies of these Golden-Winged Rocs were extremely strong. After a simple test, ordinary radiation in the universe could not cause any harm to them. Only oxygen was the key.
Everyone began to get busy. In order to keep it secret, Qi Yue and his Zodiac Army were stationed at the headquarters of the Yellow Flame Soul and continued to undergo special space training for a full five days. General Ji was so shocked that he could not close his mouth. He did not expect Qi Yue to have such a powerful force in his hands. Even an ordinary member of the Zodiac Team could not compare to the results achieved by the Yellow Flame Soul members. Although they were not as versatile as the Yan Huang Soul and specialized in various professions, in terms of battle strength, they were definitely extremely strong. In a random gravity test, the most that an ordinary person could withstand was ten times their own gravity. Under the effect of ten times gravity, it was extremely difficult for an ordinary person to even move. And the combat experts of the Yellow Flame Soul could increase this number to about thirty times, which was basically their limit. However, when it was the turn of the Zodiac Team, this number changed dramatically.
As everyone knew, the physical ability of women was always weaker than that of men. But even the weakest female member of the Zodiac Team could withstand gravity seventy-nine times her own. More than seventy percent of the members of the Zodiac Team could withstand gravity a hundred times their own and still move normally. What did this mean? In other words, each of them had the ability to carry a weight of thousands of kilograms and still move normally. This did not take into account their various special abilities. For a moment, General Ji was very excited. In the face of such a crisis on Earth, it could be said that he had found a group of treasures.
When it was time for the Zodiac Guardian God Team to be tested, only one person was tested, and the test could not continue. As the weakest member, Guan Jing was naturally the first to be tested. About five minutes after she entered the gravity test room, all the equipment failed. In the end, there were only three question marks on the screen.
One should know that this gravity test room was the most advanced in the entire Yanhuang Republic. It could produce more than three hundred times the normal gravity. However, when the gravity test room was operating at full capacity, Guan Jing, the Fatso, swayed around in the room as if nothing had happened. This situation immediately shocked everyone. The members of the Zodiac Pig Team were suddenly very proud. After all, he was their captain!
General Ji directly exempted the other Zodiac Guardian God Team from the physical test because he was afraid that his heart could not withstand such a surprise. After all, he was getting old.
In fact, Guan Jing's situation was also very special. As a Black Tortoise Pig, his biggest characteristic was his super strong defense and resistance to all kinds of abnormal situations. In the case of the gravity test, the other Zodiac Guardian God Team members who were much stronger than him might not be able to withstand gravity as strong as him. Of course, that was excluding those who were stronger than Eight Clouds, as well as Hu Guang, the freak who could almost ignore gravity below one thousand times.
The entire space training was very easy. Compared to the training in the ancient behemoth era, such an easy training made the members of the Zodiac Guardian God Team a little uncomfortable. With their tyrannical physical conditions, any training was just an attempt.
When Qi Yue and the others finished their space training, the news from the American spacecraft had also come back.
"Qi Yue, come here for a moment." General Ji called Qi Yue to a quiet room with a solemn expression.
"Uncle, what's wrong? Is there a problem? My companions are already preparing to go back. We will wait for orders in the Dragon Field Courtyard. If there's anything you need, just let me know. "
Ji Zhangming sighed and said, "This time, I'm afraid you are destined to go to space."
"Oh? The composition of that asteroid has been sent back? "Qi Yue immediately realized the problem.
