Chapter 2630 The Darkest Moment
All telescopes were pointed at the pitch-black space, all probes in space sent out images of the planets, other planets with human activity reported their findings, and spacecraft were even launched to other stars for on-site investigation...

The stars throughout the universe retain their original temperatures, magnetic fields, and environments; the only difference is the absence of light. Even the giant stars, planets, and stars with temperatures reaching thousands of degrees remain at the same temperature, but without light.

This is not scientific, but things that are not scientific are happening.

The first to be affected are planets with life, but so far, this is the only planet in the universe that has evolved life.

Scientists analyzed: "Without photosynthesis, the planet's crops can only last for half a month at most. Using artificial light sources is extremely costly and cannot cover the entire area. The country's food reserves can last for five years, but it will still be unable to avoid instability and a sharp decline in population."

Even though professional conduct shouldn't involve emotions, the tone was unusually heavy and uncontrollable.

"There are only two ways to save all of humanity: one is to find out the cause and restore the original state; the other is to use the power of several major countries to create a giant artificial light source and place it in front of the sun to emit light using the sun's temperature as an energy source."

Someone asked how long it would take to complete artificial solar energy.

The answer is at least one year, and it requires cooperation from at least two major infrastructure nations.

When asked how much the population would decrease within a year, the answer was at least one-tenth.

If this is the case, all human exploration and experimentation must be suspended for at least a year, and all human and material resources must be devoted to the project of creating an artificial sun.

Or there is another way out, which is option one...

Everyone looked at Brian.

When Brian saw and heard what was happening, he was stunned. He even stopped holding his coffee cup in mid-air until everyone was looking at him.

Coming to my senses, I continued drinking my coffee. The first sip had downed half of it in one go, and this second sip finished the rest. It was like drinking alcohol or water, but not most people drink coffee that way.

He held up his empty cup to the humanoid robot next to him, looking a little dazed but very polite: "Excuse me, could I have another cup?"

The robot took the cup, and an empty space immediately appeared in the middle of its belly. The cup was placed on it, and the coffee immediately poured out from above.

The base's chief officer frowned: "Doctor, shouldn't you say something? This is a matter of life and death for humanity, and everyone should speak freely without reservation."

Ha! Don't try to invoke the banner of all humanity. This video conference is only for our own people. We'll only contact other countries if we have to use the second option.

Brian's lips curled into a smile: "I've said everything I needed to say. I wonder if the experiment has been conducted? I don't think so, otherwise this world would have been gone long ago. There's still hope."

The inspector roared in exasperation, "What god? What god of hope? What century is this? Who still believes in this? Are you kidding me?"

Brian lightly touched his lips with his finger: "Shh, God is all-knowing and all-powerful. If you don't believe me, then explain what's going on. Did I do this?"

The entire conference room fell silent. Everyone knew that with current human capabilities, even though they had sent people to more than a dozen planets, they still hadn't crossed over to other star systems.

Between the solar system and other star systems lies a vast zone of celestial bodies composed of icy materials (such as water ice, methane ice, and ammonia ice). These icy bodies are "primordial fragments" left over from the early formation of the solar system.

If we compare the solar system to an egg, the sun is the yolk, and the vast expanse of the solar system is the shell.

It took humanity three centuries to get the probe through the "egg shell," only to find a vast vacuum beyond. Even though the probe and spacecraft were traveling at near the speed of light, for cosmic distances measured in light-years, this speed was slower than a snail's pace.

In addition to sending away asteroids that are about to collide with planets, we can use the immense power of black holes to warp time and space, send probes outside the solar system, and eventually send humans to other star systems to explore once the technology is mature.

According to observations, the number of stars in the Milky Way is between 1000 billion and 4000 billion, and the solar system is just one of them.

The number of galaxies similar to the Milky Way in the entire universe is estimated at 2 trillion. As for whether there are other universes outside our own, we still do not know.

Since venturing beyond our planet, humanity has been trapped in the solar system for three thousand years, still unable to break free. This has consumed vast amounts of financial and material resources; all technology was born out of this struggle, yet has also stagnated because of it.

“Alright!” The inspector changed his tone slightly: “Even if a god really exists, what is his intention, and why would he do this?”

The coffee arrived quickly, and Brian slowly took a sip, finally feeling alive again.

He responded calmly: "He made it very clear: stop, stop the experiments, stop all scientific exploration. He believes that the existing science is sufficient for us. If we give up, he will help us solve the problem of the asteroid that is about to hit us."

"This is not a discussion, but an order, a divine decree. Do you see? This is a warning, telling us of His power. If we don't want to die, if we don't want to be destroyed, then stop."

Stop? Easier said than done.

With current technology, we can make full use of the resources of a planet. As long as we break through the black hole technology, we can send humans to other parts of the universe and even see with our own eyes whether there are universes outside our universe.

“Impossible?” Brian shook his head dismissively. “Then let them perish. I just hope that, like in the old legends, humanity will be reduced to a point where it is no longer enough to support our current technology, and we will return to the Stone Age.”

The meeting ultimately decided to convene a global conference first. Initially, none of the countries believed in any divine intervention, but after two days, they became skeptical. Finally, they decided to halt all current technological research and experiments to deal with the asteroid that was expected to arrive in ten days.

Regardless of whether there are gods or not, it's better to be prepared.

If we successfully intercept it, then we can discuss how to create an artificial sun.

If an asteroid hits, let's not talk about anything else; we'll all just become dust in this dark universe.

Five days before the asteroid impact, ten spacecraft from five countries launched a joint attack, firing ion cannons at various angles of the asteroid. The result was that the asteroid only suffered a minor blow, its diameter slightly reduced, but it did not disintegrate.

On the fourth day of the countdown, the second batch of ten spaceships arrived, carrying a quarter of the planet's total stockpile of bombs—enough to bomb the planet thirty times over. However, the asteroid was only superficially damaged, without disintegrating.

On the third day of the countdown, they simply sent all the remaining ammunition over. It was even joked that they dropped it regardless of whether it was useful or not, even if it was rusty, thus solving the problem of disposing of the old ammunition.

Because of the high temperature, the asteroid's surface continuously emits light from the explosion, making it the only luminous planet in the entire dark universe.

Many people looking up from the planet can already see that light, like the moon of old, hanging in the night sky. Only now, the sky is devoid of other starlight, a deep, velvety darkness.

After three days of effort, the asteroid's diameter had shrunk by less than a tenth; it remained enormous. The debris that had been blasted away became space dust, left behind.

The asteroid continued its relentless and unstoppable journey, passing the sun and moon, which had already lost all light, and heading towards the planet still dotted with artificial light.
