Chapter 76: Manpower
At this moment, Jiang Yang saw countless staff in the hall instantly collapse, wailing in pain. Even those who could barely hold on gritted their teeth, full of agony.
With the aid of medicine, Jiang Yang quickly gathered his thoughts back from the shock of the apocalypse still arriving as scheduled.
Bringing this world’s information to the next life is the most important!
He looked up at the screen showing astronaut Li Chengyu and saw that all his data indicators were normal, with almost no fluctuations.
“It could also be due to the delay; the data hasn’t come yet.”
He turned to another screen and saw the crazy data and flashing colors on it once again.
Quickly memorizing these images in his mind, seeing that 1 minute and 35 seconds had already passed—based on his past experience, after sensing the pain, due to slight differences in his physical condition each life, he would die between 1 minute 50 seconds and 2 minutes 10 seconds.
This meant he had at most 35 seconds left, at least only 15 seconds.
He cast his gaze back onto Li Chengyu and saw Li Chengyu finally give an answer after more than a minute of self-confirmation.
“Report to command department, I feel good right now!”
Looking at the physiological data again, it was still normal, with no significant change even in heart rate.
Jiang Yang’s expression suddenly became somewhat ferocious.
Those high-energy neutrinos targeted only Earth, not even covering places slightly off to the side!
Damn it, this apocalypse is indeed specifically targeting Earth, targeting humans!
This apocalypse has aliens behind it!
The next moment, Jiang Yang once again lost consciousness without warning, as if unplugged.
The moment after that, Jiang Yang abruptly sat up from the bed, panting heavily, with large amounts of cold sweat continuously flowing down his body.
Ignoring his surging thoughts like raging waves, he got up, quickly noted down the data related to the neutrino telescope he saw in the previous life, then grabbed his mobile phone.
Contact Sun Changhe, go to the steamed bun shop to pick up Zhou Yu, get in the car heading to Yidong City base, contact Gu Changshan to have him immediately gather relevant personnel to prepare for a meeting, and so on—a series of tasks done, just over an hour later, Jiang Yang was sitting in the confidential meeting room.
On the screen, figures of Sun Changhe, Gu Changshan, Lu Zhaoming, Chen Yusheng, and others were all present.
Gathering his thoughts, under the solemn and shocked gazes of leading figures in various industries and science, as well as high-level officials, Jiang Yang began recounting again.
From the first cycle to this rebirth, Jiang Yang first gave a brief account, supplemented with some evidence more able to prove the authenticity of his words, such as several prophecies verifiable in a short time, then the meeting was temporarily adjourned.
The prophecies need verification, and the attendees also need time to digest and accept what he said.
This is a necessary process, unavoidable.
An hour later, the meeting resumed.
“Comrade Jiang Yang, you said that we in the previous cycle have proven that this apocalypse is an alien conspiracy, specifically targeting Earth, targeting us humans?”
Sun Changhe looked at Jiang Yang, full of seriousness.
This question relates to the strategic planning of the entire incident and must be 100% confirmed.
Jiang Yang was equally serious: “Yes. In the previous life, we sent an astronaut to space perpendicular to the Earth-Moon line, 700,000 kilometers from Earth.
Combining physiological data monitoring and the astronaut’s own account, I confirm that when Earth suffered the apocalypse, he was still alive and well, showing no signs of being affected by endogenous radiation.”
The group representing the nation’s top wisdom fell silent at this answer.
This meant the nature of the entire incident had changed at this moment.
Before, this apocalypse could only be considered a natural disaster. But now, this is… war, a real war between alien civilization and Earth human civilization!
“What is the reason they are attacking our human civilization?”
Professor Lu Zhaoming’s gaze was somewhat dazed, as if asking others or muttering to himself: “We are merely a primary civilization, not even able to develop the nearest satellite…”
No one answered him.
Perhaps this question itself is not important.
What matters is that the alien civilization has launched an attack, and how we should defend and counterattack, not why.
Jiang Yang was silent for a moment, then said again: “I don’t know which events from the previous life are useful and which are not. So now, I will recount the previous life’s events completely and in detail.”
This time it took much more time.
After the recount, a military expert said in a low voice: “Hundreds of billions of tons of TNT equivalent nuclear bombs couldn’t destroy that underground chamber?
According to the material properties of conventional moon rock, this situation shouldn’t occur.
This means that underground chamber, and the alien equipment existing within it, must have additional protection.”
“There is some mechanism around the underground chamber that prevents electronic equipment from working normally, yet it’s not any radiation we know, which exceeds the scope of our current physics theories; I’m afraid we can’t change that.”
Faced with the intelligence brought by Jiang Yang, people kept discussing and voicing their opinions until Jiang Yang raised that most important question, and everyone fell silent again.
“Based on the intelligence from the previous life, what should we do? What can we do?”
Professor Lu Zhaoming said in a low voice: “From the experience of the previous life, we have sufficient capability to send enough nuclear bombs to the Moon.
The reason it didn’t work was due to unknown protection.
And from what Comrade Jiang Yang brought back, the image of the underground chamber we measured dually via moonquake waves and neutrino telescope in the previous life, I judge that this underground chamber very likely has a passage connecting to the ground.
So… with our current technology, can we make the nuclear warhead directly hit that passage and detonate inside the chamber?”
Everyone’s gazes converged on that military expert.
He pondered silently for a moment, then shook his head with some difficulty: “From the angle and shape of that passage… it’s impossible.
Even if it’s a straight line to the lunar surface, our hit precision can’t reach it.
Moreover, we don’t even know what that protection is, or what the situation inside that underground chamber is.
We, we know nothing.”
Sun Changhe said solemnly: “Since we need to scout the situation of that underground chamber, and electronic equipment can’t be used, then dispatch astronauts to the Moon for visual observation!
If we can’t deliver nuclear bombs to that underground chamber via intercontinental ballistic missiles, then have astronauts manually transport them in!”
