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

"That's right!"

Although the task is arduous, the situation is quite different this time.

First of all, all personnel are fully prepared.

"Then let's get to the problem right now."

These five days were undoubtedly agonizing for everyone. On the other side of the launch tower, Tony was already fully prepared for launch.

"Due to special circumstances, we are unable to send troops to escort you to your destination. You will be piloting this spacecraft alone, but rest assured, we will arrange for an astronaut to dock with you at the space station."

"No problem, I'm completely confident."

Tony stared at the spaceship before him, feeling a little uneasy, but then he realized that this was the only viable option at the moment.

As the rocket soared into the sky, Tony felt an unparalleled sense of glory. Especially when he witnessed the vastness of space with his own eyes, he could hardly believe that he could realize his dream of traveling in space.

The spacecraft successfully docked with the space station in less than six hours. Tony did not exit the spacecraft; instead, another astronaut entered the spacecraft. After completing the necessary procedures, they immediately set off for the target airspace.

The astronaut was equally delighted, as it was a rare opportunity to work with a top scientist like Tony.

"Our mission plan is as follows: After I deliver you to your destination, I will stay at the space station to await your return."

"Ugh……"

Tony couldn't help but sigh.

"If time had allowed, I would have loved to properly appreciate our beautiful blue planet. It is truly regrettable that our first space rendezvous took place at such a critical moment."

Tony was also conflicted. If not for the circumstances, he could have fully enjoyed this space trip.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chuan at the forward space station had completed all preparations. Upon learning that Tony would arrive in three days via accelerated travel, he immediately understood the urgency of the situation.

Sure enough, the spaceship immediately began to accelerate and quickly reached its maximum speed.

Three days later, the two finally reunited at the space station. When Tony and Jiang Chuan were reunited, they first embraced warmly.

"We can reminisce later; the most urgent task is to deal with this behemoth. Please make a preliminary calculation based on the available data."

Tony immediately entered the dedicated laboratory and began calculating the giant celestial body. Data transmitted back by the new spacecraft indicated a less than optimistic situation.

"From my observation, this asteroid belt likely originated from the remnants of a giant planet. Don't you think so? This asteroid belt is located right between two planets. I speculate that it was formed by some kind of massive impact that caused the planet to break apart."

Although the specific solutions are still unclear, the harsh reality is that they seem to have no way out.

"Let's set those aside for now and continue the analysis."

Tony focused intently on his calculations, but the results were far beyond what he had anticipated—the potential consequences of this celestial body far exceeded anything they had ever experienced before.

The ground control center was equally busy. Amidst the bustling work scene, Chen Tianfei kept a close eye on the situation in space. Upon receiving Tony's communication, he immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.

"Do you mean that the existing large propulsion engines need to have their power increased? Or that two or three more need to be modified?"

"Based on the current data, even three engines might not be enough. I don't know your factory's production capacity, but to be honest, at most five engines must be installed within half a month, plus the existing planetary thrusters, just to barely get this celestial body off Earth's orbit."

Chen Tianfei couldn't help but gasp.

"Half a month? You mean starting from this moment, including the entire installation process?" "Exactly!"

Chen Tianfei immediately felt immense pressure.

This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult project.

First, it remains to be seen whether the Northwest Base's existing production capacity can complete the manufacturing of five planetary propulsion engines within the deadline.

Even more challenging is the transportation problem – transporting such massive equipment to space presents a huge challenge in itself.

Time is of the essence, the task is arduous, and there is only a fifteen-day deadline.

If material assembly is chosen to be carried out in space, it will take at least an additional day. Therefore, the best solution is to complete the installation on the ground and launch directly into space.

The current situation is indeed becoming increasingly critical.

"Contact the commander-in-chief immediately; this decision is beyond our authority."

"what?"

Jiang Chuan was very surprised when he heard this.

"You mean we should complete the overall assembly on the ground first, then transport it to the space station, and at the same time install all our existing, scattered thrusters on it, right?"

"That's right! Moreover, time is of the essence and the mission is arduous. The thrust required by these five engines is enormous. I'm not sure if our Earth has such a powerful transportation vehicle."

The situation is indeed becoming increasingly serious.

"You should start working on the problem according to the relevant specifications, and I will contact your brother to inquire about the situation."

Chen Fei also looked troubled after receiving the call.

There is a design plan, but it's currently only at the sketch stage. At the normal pace, such a vehicle would take at least three months to complete.

Moreover, in reality, if the time required for transportation is taken into account, they only have a maximum of eight days left to work on the ground.

This means that within the eight-day timeframe, five days are needed for the production process and three days for installation and debugging, leaving only four days available for actual production.

Because such a large transport vehicle requires an additional day for transportation scheduling.

"Boss, to be honest, this is simply impossible. Unless we can transport all the relevant equipment from around the world, or collaborate globally to build such a transportation system, there might be no hope. At the moment, we can only arrange one day for assembly at most. This requires orders from all over the world, and we must start the bidding process immediately, without any mistakes. Frankly, the only way is through global collaborative assembly."

"Alright! You take charge of this immediately, and I'll report to my superiors right away."

When the higher-ups heard about the plan, they found it hard to believe—to create the largest vehicle in human history in four days, and to mobilize global resources, was simply an impossible task.

The problem is that they seem to have no other choice but to race against time to push forward the work based on the existing conditions, as this is the only hope.

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now and get moving. Although I'm not sure what will happen next, that's our only request, so let's get to it."

The situation is indeed becoming increasingly tense. If this continues, everyone knows what the consequences will be.

"Ugh!"

Left with no other choice, they had to do everything in their power. Upon learning the news, factories around the world immediately sprang into action. (End of Chapter)
