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

In fact, Jiang Chuan did lose his composure this time.

He knew perfectly well what action was most appropriate in this situation. If he had acted normally, the outcome could have been very different.

"Don't rush, observe the situation. Perhaps we will eventually find that the environment we are in is indeed more critical than we thought."

There's no need to go into the specific implementation details, as Jiang Chuan is currently under immense pressure.

"Okay, let's try it anyway. But you're right, I really shouldn't have put so much pressure on the child."

Somewhat helpless, he had no choice but to return home. In fact, he was indeed overly anxious, but Xu Jiajia did not intend to blame her husband.

Xu Jiajia silently brought a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table. Without saying anything more, she left for the time being.

Xu Jiajia understood perfectly well that Jiang Chuan needed to calm down at this moment. Perhaps due to the recent excessive pressure, he was occasionally making mistakes in judgment.

Based on current analysis, three days should be sufficient. Calculations using asteroid belt models suggest that even if these asteroids were to collide with Earth, it would be months from now, so delaying the launch by three days wouldn't be a significant issue.

Moreover, besides them, there are many other professionals in human society who can participate. In particular, all astronauts around the world are elites, and if this group can help solve the problem, there is no need to worry too much.

Moreover, they now possess a sizable army of robots, and Jiang Chuan's past experience in space makes the situation quite different.

Moreover, this time it's not about dealing with an alien invasion, but about resolving the crisis of an asteroid impact on Earth. Whether we actually need to go into outer space is still unknown.

After a good rest, Jiang Chuan finally regained his energy. After careful consideration, he realized that his value was indeed more important than he had imagined.

“Yes, I can take this approach.”

He suddenly understood and immediately pushed open the door.

"You are so wise."

Jiang Chuan excitedly hugged Xu Jiajia, leaving her completely bewildered. What on earth had happened?
"Did you know? You helped solve a world-class problem."

At that moment, a brilliant idea suddenly flashed into his mind—there was no need to rely on bombing to resolve the crisis; wouldn't it be even more ideal to create a propulsion device? ...

This thought actually popped into my head when I was looking at the water glass in front of me.

"My God, are you out of your mind? I just poured you a glass of water, and you actually connected it to propulsion? How did you even manage to link those two things together?"

Xu Jiajia was utterly bewildered. As a woman, she always acted based on evidence, but Jiang Chuan's train of thought this time was simply too outrageous.

"Let me explain slowly. Think about it carefully. First of all, a water glass needs to be filled with water, right? And isn't the mouth of the glass open and unobstructed?"

"That's right!"

"Then let me ask you another question: doesn't the shape of this water cup look a bit like the structure of a propeller?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Old Xu couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You've gone mad with your cultivation, haven't you?"

"Well, think about it. Human society faces such severe threats today. If we could build a spacecraft that can be carried on asteroids, that would be ideal. But that would be too expensive. If we instead build propulsion devices specifically designed for asteroids, wouldn't the cost be reduced?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Xu immediately began preliminary calculations. Building such a thruster would require considerable power. Furthermore, successfully launching it into space and automatically installing it on the asteroid was another major challenge. More importantly, how many would be needed to completely resolve the current crisis? Judging from the current situation, all the factors combined seemed far from simple.

"Your plan requires global cooperation to be realized. And right now, we must ensure that there are no further conflicts between countries. At least for now, Atlantis simply cannot afford this funding, do you understand?"

In the current situation, the global economy is on the verge of collapse. Proposing a massive scientific project at this juncture could very well push the world into an even more dangerous predicament—after all, everyone is struggling financially. Apart from Kyushu, which is still able to maintain normal operations, the most pressing task for other countries is to restore their economies and livelihoods as quickly as possible.

"Don't be too hasty, and whatever you do, don't have any unrealistic ideas, understand? Proceed step by step, get it?"

"it is good!"

Although no one knew the specifics of how to proceed, the tension surrounding this matter was growing increasingly intense. With proper planning, there was still hope. That was the general situation, and it required everyone's concerted effort.

At this moment, everyone must be mentally prepared.

During this time, Chen Tianfei was also racing against time to perform data calculations; they simply didn't have the extra energy to consider those unrealistic things.

However, at the same time, Jiang Chuan has already begun verifying the relevant data. If this method really works, that would be ideal.

"Professor Xu, you are now both my family member and my chief scientist. If it's feasible, could you help me with a preliminary calculation? I don't need precise numbers, just a rough estimate will do."

Upon hearing this, Old Xu turned to look at Xu Jiajia.

"Would you be willing to help me? Anyway, your son is currently in the training camp for the final training session, and he probably won't be able to come home for another week."

"Row!"

So, a flurry of research immediately began at home. Now everything depends on data, and Jiang Chuan, who proposed the plan, suddenly found himself with nothing to do.

Meanwhile, President Jones was somewhat troubled. After hearing the report about Tony, she was unsure whether her decision was correct.

Jones had originally planned to have Tony return home as soon as things calmed down—after all, the two had already had an in-depth conversation. Who could have foreseen that humanity would suddenly find itself on the brink of crisis? It's just that the relevant data hasn't been released to the public yet. Therefore, how to proceed next ultimately depends on how all parties coordinate and arrange things.

"Therefore, we don't have much room for maneuver right now."

Inside the Little White House, President Jones pondered her next move alone. As a female leader, she knew all too well that failure to meet these conditions would lead to utter disaster—an outcome no one wanted to see.

"Sigh! Well, whatever, let's try to move forward anyway."

With that in mind, President Jones stopped dwelling on other issues. As a female head of state, she decided to calmly wait. (End of Chapter)
