Chapter 197 Self Destruction(2/2)
A communication device was handed to Tang Yun.
He took a deep breath and made his voice as calm and resolute as ever, full of the confidence of a wise man.
"The impact is expected to occur in half an hour. Although our base is in the safest and least affected location, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 on the Richter scale is still expected to occur.
Please check the disaster prevention and preparedness materials for the last time at this moment to ensure that they can be put into repair work on the base immediately after the earthquake. Also, don’t forget to check whether easily damaged objects have been properly placed.
If everything is completed, then please go to the base safety cabin to avoid accidental injuries during the earthquake."
In the rest area, people stood up with relaxed smiles on their faces.
"Let's go to the safety cabin."
"Have everything been put away? Don't let it be damaged by the earthquake."
"Don't worry, everything is fine."
People came to the safety cabins that were specially reinforced and had better earthquake resistance.
Next, there is only waiting.
Wang Long and other senior intellectuals are waiting. Tang Yun is waiting. In the video conference room, Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang are also waiting.
"There are only 24 minutes until we reach the closest point. Now the probability has completely returned to zero. The collision should really not happen, right?"
Lu Qingliang asked this sentence somewhat unconfidently.
The development of the situation is gratifying.
During these eight hours, most of the time, the probability remained at zero. There were occasional fluctuations, but they usually did not exceed 1%.
This almost means that the collision will definitely not happen.
But a few people still dare not relax, still dare not let go completely.
Lu Ming knew that not only himself, but also many people on this planet at this moment must be like him.
A prediction is just a prediction. Until it actually happens, it is just a prediction. And predictions may be wrong.
Unless the asteroid really passes by the earth and never looks back, no one can be sure whether another accident will happen at the next moment.
Just like before, the probability of collision once reached 100%, but didn't it also decrease later?
What if it climbs from 0% to 100% again - this is of course almost impossible to happen, but what if it really happens?
"There are still 24 minutes, 24 minutes..."
Lu Ming murmured, staring intently at the number that represented the probability of impact.
Time passed by minute by minute.
"Five minutes left."
"Three minutes."
"One minute!"
Numerous space-based telescopes and ground-based telescopes have shown what this asteroid looks like at this moment from multiple perspectives.
Lu Ming clearly saw that it broke into the edge of the earth from the extremely distant deep space, and then passed by the earth at a distance of only about 1,300 kilometers.
It was a real pass.
The diameter of the earth is as high as 13,000 kilometers. This number is only one-tenth of the diameter of the earth.
However, it only took the asteroid about half a minute to fly from one side of the earth to the other side of the earth.
With a startling glance, we passed by each other, and from then on we stayed away forever, never to see each other again.
The chaos of the universe ultimately failed to bring enough uncertainty to this asteroid in such a short period of time.
The predictions of the human world finally fit the reality.
It really didn't hit the earth. It really flew away. The end of the world really didn't come.
Lu Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva and made a thud, which made his heart suddenly startled. Then, as if he finally reacted, he stood up with both hands, his face was full of excitement, but he couldn't say a word.
.
Lu Qingliang's face was dull at this moment, as if he was still immersed in the fear before and the ecstasy at this moment. He Wei had already started cheering.
"There is no end! I can eat delicious food again! It's great! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
…
At this moment, Ark Base.
Tang Yun clearly saw the scene of the asteroid passing by the earth.
It turns out that this time my prediction was really... wrong.
Why? How could this happen? Can the future that is already determined be changed?
Why?!
but……
The most important thing at this moment is not to explore the cause. It is to get out of here.
He stood up.
Chapter completed!
