Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.
Chapter 716 Without Hesitation
Xu Jiajia sensed that Jiang Chuan was about to explode.
"It's pointless to dwell on it now. Scientists make mistakes too; after all, our understanding of planetary structure is limited, and current technology is not yet capable of perfect detection."
Jiang Chuan suppressed his anger and calmly considered the situation. As he looked around, he noticed that the giant transport device was still usable.
"Tony, recalculate: if we activate the full thrust of the transport unit, can we turn the tide?"
Tony immediately performed the calculations, and the results were encouraging.
"Chen Tianfei, please tell your brother: I know that the equipment he developed is perfect, but we must understand that the survival of mankind is paramount. Even if the transportation device is on the verge of being scrapped, we must make a final struggle for the fate of mankind. Tell him that his work is the most outstanding, and I promise to build a new model for him."
This time, Chen Tianfei contacted his brother without hesitation.
Control was immediately transferred to Jiang Chuan.
He maneuvered his armor to position the transport device, then propelled the behemoth towards the asteroid at full speed. Gravity caused the transport device to begin a rapid, uncontrollable descent.
"Oops!"
Jiang Chuan realized that if the descent continued, it would inevitably collide with the planetary engine, causing damage to the device and casualties among the personnel.
At this critical moment, the planetary engine unexpectedly demonstrated powerful performance beyond expectations.
The reverse propulsion system of the transport unit was activated in time. Under the continuous reverse thrust, the fuselage attitude gradually stabilized and finally the docking and installation were completed smoothly.
"Alright, start everything now."
Once everything was ready, everyone quickly evacuated the site. Jiang Chuan was the first to return to the space station, and only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The installation work has officially begun.
All equipment was activated simultaneously and immediately unleashed maximum thrust. The team members immediately began calculating the orbital data.
"Good heavens, that was incredibly dangerous."
Tony's initial verification results confirmed the previous speculation: if it continues to operate at the current output power, it is expected that the planet will be completely deviated from its original orbit within two hours.
"As long as nothing unexpected happens in these two hours, we should be able to get out of danger. Based on the analysis of existing data models, humanity should be able to escape this crisis."
Why does it still take two hours?
Jiang Chuan was still somewhat uneasy.
"The density and mass of this asteroid are beyond expectations, so we can only adopt a gradual propulsion approach. Currently, all thrusters are operating at full capacity. To be honest, if we had been given more time for research and development, we could have created a propulsion system with superior performance."
However, current progress has gradually convinced people that human technology is about to achieve a new leap forward.
Although he hasn't completely shaken off the burden, Jiang Chuan has done his utmost. Now the whole team is waiting for the final result, and everyone is hoping for a perfect ending.
These two hours of waiting were an immense ordeal for everyone. Any slight mistake could render all their efforts futile, since they had no backup plan available.
The ground command center was also anxiously awaiting the final news. Cao Liping and Chen Tianfei unconsciously clasped hands tightly.
They were unaware of the feelings that had blossomed between them, and were simply looking forward to the exciting moment when good news would arrive.
"Success!"
The control room erupted in jubilation. Who would have thought that this catastrophe, capable of destroying humanity, would be successfully averted through the concerted efforts of scientists worldwide?
Jiang Chuan suddenly slumped into the command chair.
The continuous high-pressure work had left him physically and mentally exhausted; he had barely slept in recent days. Before everyone had recovered from their joy, Xu Jia was the first to notice something was wrong. "What's wrong? Hey! Wake up!"
It turned out that Jiang Chuan had already fallen into a deep sleep and was completely unresponsive to the sounds around him.
"Let's return as soon as possible and not disturb him. Anyway, we have enough spaceships for the return trip."
The follow-up work on the space station has been properly arranged, and the team members have begun to withdraw from this space base where they have worked for many days in an orderly manner.
All sectors on the ground were already prepared. At this moment, the leader is announcing the outcome of the crisis to the world.
People around the world were then shocked to realize that humanity had just narrowly escaped destruction.
When the heroes returned to Earth, their heroic deeds were celebrated everywhere. But Jiang Chuan had no time for such praise; at that moment, he was only gratified that humanity had once again escaped danger.
"Alright! This time things should be calm, right? We can't always expect to save the day from the brink of disaster."
From the initial artificial intelligence crisis to the sudden planetary threat, every disaster they experienced was unexpected.
The next three days were peaceful, and to allow everyone to fully relax, the entire team immersed themselves in deep sleep to rest.
Tony has also returned to Atlantis and resumed his career.
Although everything seems to be back on track, the hidden crises in this world are far from over.
During this period of calm, many prophets gathered again to systematically review the major events that had recently occurred.
What are your thoughts?
A prophet looked worried.
"There have been a series of spatial anomalies, social crises, and planetary threats recently, and earlier there was even an alien invasion, right?"
"Don't bring up those intrusion experiences again, lest you cause new trouble."
"What I mean is that we need to make an overall assessment. There should be some kind of connection between these events."
……
The prophets were in an uproar. To this day, those ancient prophecies are still being fulfilled, albeit faintly, and even more disturbingly, some of them continue to unfold.
"Given this situation, don't you all feel worried? Perhaps at some unexpected moment, humanity will face a catastrophe that it is completely unable to cope with."
"well!……"
The group first began to examine the current level of human technology. It must be acknowledged that the planetary propulsion system developed this time was indeed a major breakthrough, but this technology could also be modified into a destructive weapon.
"Frankly, with this propulsion system, humanity is already capable of creating interstellar weapons with a range that can cover any corner of the universe. But that's not the key issue."
A prophet suddenly became aware of a potential crisis.
As technological power becomes increasingly concentrated, the imbalance in resource allocation may worsen. Human history has already witnessed two global conflicts; if technological monopolies were to reignite war, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, the recent spate of terrorist attacks and violent incidents all revolve around the struggle for technology. Human society is indeed facing numerous challenges.
“We need to find a suitable person to control it. I think the most urgent task is to have in-depth discussions with Jiang Chuan about weapons control.”
Another prophet offered advice.
"Humanity cannot completely abandon its armed forces, otherwise it will be utterly defenseless when a crisis strikes. We cannot allow our enemies to possess advanced weaponry while we are left with only primitive tools to resist." (End of Chapter)
