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

"Everyone, calm down. Nobody expected so many unexpected things to happen. It's hard to accept, but this is reality."

Chen Tianfei was equally heavy-hearted. At this crucial stage, everyone thought they could finally catch their breath, but the situation had developed in such an unexpected way.

"We have two days. Take immediate action."

Cao Liping quickly led her team to collaborate with Chen Tianfei in the final stage of the project.

It can be said that the challenges posed by the current situation are escalating.

"Stay calm and let's continue to observe."

Cao Liping immediately began the calculations. This unexpected situation greatly troubled her, as their sweet romance had just begun and could not be ruined by the threat of an asteroid.

On the other hand, the scientific team on the space station is also conducting calculations simultaneously, forming a collaborative research and development pattern between space and ground.

"well"

Just then, Xu Jiajia showed signs of worry.

"I haven't been back for so long, I miss our children terribly."

"Okay!"

Jiang Chuan fully understood Xu Jiajia's feelings about being away from home for so long. Although Jiang Tianfeng was doing well at the base even without his parents, as a mother, she always longed to be by her child's side more often.

"Don't worry so much. As long as we can get through this crisis smoothly, our son will be able to live a peaceful and happy life in this world, right?"

Jiang Chuan gently stroked Xu Jiajia's hair.

In fact, everyone is now keenly aware that the real threat has only just begun to emerge. Regardless of how they deal with that approaching behemoth, everyone is deeply worried.

Cao Liping is racing against time to perform data calculations. Given the current conditions, even if all the equipment in space were to work together in concert, it could only temporarily alter the asteroid's orbit.

However, Chen Tianfei remained anxious after analyzing these factors. According to the final orbital calculations, even if the orbit was successfully altered, the asteroid would still pass by Earth.

The most pressing issue now is the influence of Earth's own gravity. This asteroid may still be pulled by Earth's gravity and ultimately collide with it.

"What if we redirect it to Jupiter's orbit now?"

At this moment, Jiang Chuan presented his ideas to everyone via remote connection.

"This is indeed a good plan, but it is not very feasible. The main reason is that we cannot realize this idea at present. The key point is that we have not yet fully grasped how to precisely control the trajectory of this asteroid."

At this point, Chen Tianfei looked troubled. In fact, Cao Liping had already begun planning, but so far, their two teams had not been able to devise a proper plan, given that current human-made equipment had reached its technological limits.

"Aren't we developing planetary thrusters? Surely this device can't solve the problem either?"

Jiang Chuan looked somewhat dejected.

"Our designed small thrusters can indeed handle some of the problems, but the behemoth we are facing now is completely beyond our original scope. According to our information, if this asteroid is dense, we will need more powerful equipment. I believe that the Chengdu Aerospace Base in the Northwest region has the most comprehensive information, and we should go there to investigate."

Chen Tianfei was clearly aware of this, but his application to his superiors was rejected. The reason was simple: the base was currently a top-secret unit and, due to certain special reasons, was not open to the outside world. "Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die? If that's the case, what kind of scientific research can we do? They won't let us see this or that. When that behemoth really crashes into us, all the secrets will be meaningless."

Chen Tianfei felt utterly aggrieved at that moment. Only after hanging up the phone did he realize that, as the company's chief scientist, he indeed had no right to directly call his superiors to make such special requests.

The key issue is that Chen Tianfei can't demand any action from Jiang Chuan right now, since Jiang Chuan is currently working with Xu Jia on the space station to solve practical problems. He can only rely on himself now, but the problem is that his superiors don't value his suggestions.

Left with no other option, Chen Tianfei angrily dialed Jiang Chuan's number.

"How could this be? After I reported my ideas to my superior, he rejected my request outright, saying that it's not a critical moment yet. What time is it now? Does it have to wait until the end of the world to be considered a critical moment?"

Given the severity of the situation, Jiang Chuan, as the overall commander of the mission, had no choice but to call his superiors directly.

"The situation is this: my biggest concern right now is that the plan might fail. Because the engine with the highest thrust is not yet able to be sent into space, we can only reconfigure the equipment based on the existing conditions. But according to Cao Liping's prediction, our mission is very likely to end in failure."

Jiang Chuan used a different way of expressing himself this time.

"What do you mean?"

The higher-ups still had some doubts.

"Here's the situation: due to poor coordination on the ground, we are experiencing a severe shortage of supplies in space. To date, we still haven't obtained the largest engine in human history, which is absolutely unacceptable. All major networks are monitoring this in real time, and we need to reintegrate all our resources."

The superior immediately understood the meaning behind the words.

"You want me to directly cooperate with Chen Tianfei's work, right?"

"Ugh……"

Jiang Chuan could only shake his head helplessly.

“I understand that this video call may make you uncomfortable. But with Chen Tianfei’s ruthless style, there’s really no need to take it too seriously.”

Jiang Chuan deliberately shook his head and sighed in front of his superiors, and then recounted in detail what Chen Tianfei had done.

"But right now, apart from Chen Tianfei and Cao Liping, we really can't find any other people who can solve the problem."

The superior smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"This is mainly a matter of authority. As your researcher, Chen Tianfei's actions are perfectly reasonable, but you must personally raise this issue with me."

In fact, the superiors were not acting out of bureaucratic impetus, but were mainly worried that if this one-way communication turned into multi-person collaboration, it could lead to the leakage of secrets.

Furthermore, this matter has not yet been made public, and the actual situation remains confidential. The public believed the world had been saved and life had returned to normal, but little did they know that a hidden behemoth existed.

Therefore, the higher-ups were well aware that if the matter were to be made public prematurely before it was properly resolved, it could cause incalculable losses, a responsibility that no one could afford to bear.

"So you should understand my predicament. Don't worry, I will definitely give him a satisfactory answer to this matter."

Thus, the superior personally came to Chen Tianfei's office and issued him permission to travel to Chen Hang Base. (End of Chapter)
