Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"approve!"

Reassuringly, the anesthesia system quickly stabilized. After the rate of energy depletion slowed significantly, the system was able to maintain normal operation for three consecutive days.

These three days will be unforgettable for all of humanity. Media outlets from various countries broadcast the dismantling operation live.

Reporters gathered behind the machinery to report live, and everyone knew they had to leave the area before the deadline.

Jiang Chuan was equally on high alert. Although the outcome was unpredictable, these three days felt exceptionally long to him.

Time flew by, and in the evening of the last day, the system suddenly sent a signal that the dismantling operation was complete.

"I ordered all personnel to evacuate the equipment within two hours and immediately proceed to the final operation phase."

All reactors are now ready, and this giant machine is about to carry the energy body into the vast space.

Personnel began an emergency evacuation, and various helicopters and transport planes shuttled back and forth over the base.

It was exactly 10 p.m.

With two hours remaining until the final deadline, all personnel have been evacuated. The exciting moment is about to arrive.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, all preparations are complete. Shall we initiate the final escape procedure?"

"start up!"

The moment the command was given, everyone's eyes were focused on the aerospace command center.

Scientists are conducting final confirmations, starting with the engine's full ignition procedure.

The launch time is set for 11 PM sharp.

The propulsion engine has now entered the energy storage state.

Data shows that this machine will carry the target away from Earth, although no one knows what will happen next.

At the critical moment, all operators immediately got to work.

"Five! Four! Three! Two! One! Launch!"

Viewers around the world watched live as this most magnificent mechanical device in human history finally spewed flames.

The immense kinetic energy generated by the nuclear fusion reactor bursts forth instantly.

The powerful thrust uprooted the giant machine buried deep underground and sent it hurtling into the depths of space.

The whole world rejoiced; no one could have imagined that they would witness such a feat at the last moment.

"This is impossible!"

Victor was horrified; he had never expected such a turn of events.

The spacecraft slowly disappeared into the depths of space; two minutes had passed.

The nuclear fusion reactor is now operating at full power.

Jiang Chuan could not hide his joy. As the machine broke through the atmosphere and continued its ascent into the depths of space, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Due to its exceptional acceleration capabilities, the device quickly surpassed the first cosmic velocity. Instead of flying along a near-Earth orbit, it sped straight into interstellar space.

At this moment, there are only 57 minutes left until the energy body is scheduled to explode.

The spacecraft continued its ascent, accelerating and climbing, carrying the hopes of the world as it ventured into the vast universe.
The explosive device located at the bottom of the spacecraft remained motionless, awaiting its final moment as the most destructive explosive device in human history. Thanks to the advanced propulsion system providing continuous acceleration, long-term monitoring data indicated that the explosion would pose no threat to Earth. The spacecraft had now reached the outer edge of the asteroid debris belt.

"Wait! An anomaly has been detected."

Chen Tianfei suddenly realized the problem.

"Please note that there are only seven minutes remaining until the scheduled detonation. Although the asteroid belt currently appears stable, the consequences would be catastrophic if the shockwave from the explosion caused these fragments to travel towards Earth."

These words made Jiang Chuan's heart tighten.

"But there's no time to worry about those potential risks right now."

"I understand, but that's the reality. I believe we must activate contingency plans; I wonder if the global defense system can play a crucial role at this time."

Their meticulously constructed global defense system, built over many years, was originally designed to counter threats from space. But the question now is: just how much pressure could these shockwaves generate? And what is the probability of an asteroid hitting Earth?
This globally significant operation is still ongoing. Real-time images transmitted by relay satellites indicate that the situation remains under control.

The final three-minute countdown began. Although the spacecraft had just crossed the asteroid belt, everyone's biggest concern was the potential chain reaction triggered by the shockwave.

The final countdown has begun. Although the spacecraft continues to move away, Chen Tianfei sincerely hopes it can carry the time bomb to more distant space at an even faster speed.

As the countdown ended in the last few seconds, the energy entity triggered a massive explosion in the universe.

The spectacular explosion captured by the relay satellite was transmitted back to Earth, leaving all observers in awe.

"My God! If an explosion of this scale were to occur on Earth, the entire planet would likely be torn apart. Not only would Earth cease to exist, but our entire human civilization would be wiped out."

The energy released by this explosion was truly terrifying.

Of course, people are also considering follow-up solutions. Jiang Chuan, in particular, does not believe that this is a satisfactory ending.

Perhaps an even more worrying situation is just beginning. Sure enough, the situation has changed again. The latest intelligence from the space monitoring station shows:
"The report's monitoring results indicate that the shockwave from the explosion has caused several celestial bodies to deviate from their original orbits. Currently, at least a dozen asteroids are moving towards the inner solar system, and based on orbital calculations, the trajectories of some of these asteroids are pointing directly at Earth."

"What?"

This news shocked and stunned everyone.

If this is true, it remains to be seen whether humanity, with its current level of technology, can successfully intercept these asteroids.

Despite announcing the operation a complete success to the public, Jiangchuan remains vigilant. Staff are continuing to monitor the situation around the clock.

"Stay calm! As long as we persevere, we will always find a solution. The key lies in what strategy we adopt next."

Jiang Chuan was well aware that under these circumstances, all of humanity must unite and focus on the future. However, if events did not develop as expected, the pressure would increase daily, and existing problems would become even more severe.

The latest calculations from the Academy of Sciences left Jiang Chuan feeling extremely frustrated. Based on the current situation analysis, at least five asteroids are orbiting directly towards Earth.

Is it possible that these celestial bodies merely brushed past Earth?

Jiang Chuan is still seeking confirmation.

"Unfortunately, it won't just miss us; it will crash directly into Earth."

Although these celestial bodies do not travel at very high relative speeds in space, they will eventually collide with Earth as they continue to accelerate.

"Could Saturn, with its powerful gravitational field, shield us from these threats? You know, Saturn's immense gravity might be able to attract these debris."

"This idea is impossible to realize!" (End of Chapter)
