Chapter 154 Meteorite Incident (Part )
Qin Ruihua's heart tightened when he heard the guard say there was an emergency to report.
He immediately put down what he was doing and hurried to the designated location.
When he saw the astronomer standing there panting, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to see me?" Qin Ruihua asked with a frown.
The astronomer took a deep breath, trying to calm his breathing, and then replied anxiously: "Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
"While observing outer space, I discovered a large group of meteorites flying towards our planet!"
"After preliminary observation, the diameters of these meteorites range from a few centimeters to tens of meters, and their number is too great to count!"
Qin Ruihua widened his eyes and asked in shock: "Are you sure they are really coming towards our planet?"
The astronomer nodded vigorously and said in a serious tone: "Yes, according to the current data and calculations, the probability is at least more than 95%!"
Qin Ruihua's heart sank as he realized that this might be an unprecedented disaster.
He asked anxiously: "Do we have the ability to change the direction of the meteorite group? Or take other measures to avoid the impact?"
The astronomer shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "Unfortunately, Your Majesty, with our current technological means, we are simply unable to have an impact on such a large group of meteorites."
"We can only leave it to fate..."
Qin Ruihua's face became serious. After a moment, he asked again: "Have you found out where these meteorite groups might appear?"
The astronomer wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied: "Further data analysis is needed."
"But what is certain is that this event will bring great shock and damage to our planet."
Qin Ruihua frowned and asked, "How terrible is the lethality of these meteorites?"
Based on past historical records, the astronomer said, "Your Majesty, a meteorite with a diameter of several dozen meters can cause a devastating blow to an area of 1,000 to 2,000 square kilometers."
"Moreover, the larger the diameter of the meteorite, the more horrific the destructive damage it will cause. This is not a simple matter of addition."
Qin Ruihua's eyes widened: "So, if these meteorites really land on our land, does it mean that our country has been destroyed?"
After a moment's silence, the astronomer replied: "If a swarm of meteorites really falls on our territory, I'm afraid we will have no choice but to declare our country extinct."
"If even one percent of the people can survive, it will be a great gift from God."
Qin Ruihua took a deep breath and said, "Analyze immediately and make sure to calculate the possible location of the meteorite group."
The astronomer replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
After the astronomer said this, he quickly left the scene.
After returning to the institute, he immediately convened a group of top experts and scholars, and together with them conducted in-depth research and analysis of the meteorite group.
They use the most advanced astronomical telescope equipment to closely monitor the movements of the meteorite groups, trying to determine their final destination.
At the same time, some other powerful countries also noticed the existence of the meteorite group.
Although these countries have their own astronomical telescopes, there is still a large gap in technological level compared with Yan Country.
However, with keen observation and advanced technology, these countries have gradually grasped the dynamics of meteorite swarms.
The incident caused shock and concern around the world.
Governments around the world have realized the seriousness of the situation, but have not disclosed the relevant information to the general public to avoid causing social panic and leading to unpredictable consequences.
Instead, governments have decided to take a low-key approach and focus on dealing with the crisis that may come.
In Dongyang, the Emperor anxiously ordered: "Analyze it for me immediately. I must know where the specific target of the meteorite group is."
The ministers responded in unison: “Hi!”
In the United States, the president was equally anxious and urged, "Hurry, hurry, we must analyze the final location of the meteorite group."
The officials quickly responded: “Yes, Mr. President.”
Faced with such an urgent situation, governments around the world have devoted all their efforts to the analysis of meteorite swarms.
We hope to determine its specific location as soon as possible so that we can prepare countermeasures in advance.
A global tension has thus begun...
Two days later, the astronomer came to Qin Ruihua with a heavy face and said, "Your Majesty, the average speed of these meteorites is fifty times the speed of sound."
"It takes twenty-four hours for a planet to rotate once, after calculating the speed at which meteorites enter the atmosphere."
"After repeated calculations, we came to a very bad result."
"There is a 70 percent chance that the meteorite swarm will appear in the South Pacific, and a 5 percent chance that it will appear in the Pacific."
"There's a 10 percent chance it will be in Antarctica and a 15 percent chance it will be in the Indian Ocean."
After hearing the news, Qin Ruihua swayed and almost fell down.
He couldn't believe his ears and asked quickly, "Is there anything wrong with the analysis?"
The astronomer nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, this is the final result after our repeated calculations."
"Based on the current speed, the meteorite swarm will reach the atmosphere in five days."
Qin Ruihua's face turned pale, he knew what this meant.
If a group of meteorites really landed in the South China Sea, the cities and people here would suffer a huge disaster.
He took a deep breath and said to the astronomer, "You go back and continue your analysis.
See if there are other possibilities.”
The astronomer nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best to find other possibilities."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Qin Ruihua was left standing there alone, looking at the sky with a heavy heart, as if the whole world was weighing on his shoulders.
"No!" He clenched his fists. "Why is God so unfair to me?"
"I have only been in this world for less than ten years, and I have finally built Yan Country into a world power."
"Why does fate have to play such a joke on me at this moment?"
He knew very well that if he chose to run away now, he would become the target of public criticism.
In such a short period of time, he was simply unable to fully prepare to deal with this sudden crisis.
"Even if we can move all the warships and fighter planes to other areas."
“Without logistics, if all the countries unite to attack us, they won’t be able to resist for long.”
"After all, the ammunition will run out one day."
However, just when he was in desperate situation.
A familiar system voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
