Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 100 Shelter
The first task was still the satellite launch. After that, Jiang Yang and his team went to the astronauts' rest room again.

Seeing those familiar faces again, Jiang Yang felt a slight surge of excitement.

His past experiences in previous lives made him absolutely certain that these astronauts were comrades he could trust.

In my previous life, they died alongside me in that underground passage on the moon. It's so good to see them again now.

After some mobilization, Jiang Yang returned to the enormous rocket.

"...0, ignition!"

The immense overload pressure suddenly struck, pressing Jiang Yang's entire body firmly to the floor.

"I hope I can suffer less from rocket explosions in this lifetime..."

The thought had barely crossed Jiang Yang's mind when a thunderous creaking sound reached his ears. Before he could even discern what was happening, he suddenly lost consciousness.

The next moment, Jiang Yang suddenly sat up on his bed in his rented room.

"Damn it, failed again! Let's try again!"

Several days later, Jiang Yang sat inside the spaceship again, and then, boom!
Come again!

This time, the rocket launch was finally successful.

Looking at the azure earth beneath his feet and at the moon hanging silently in space like a silver platter, Jiang Yang gradually clenched his fist.

"Just wait, I'm coming..."

This time, the astronaut who docked with Jiang Yang's spacecraft was Zhao Jianguo.

He also told me that Li Hui, the astronaut who docked with him last time, perished in the fire during this rocket launch failure.

Although the personnel have changed, it is clear that their level of professionalism has not decreased.

Jiang Yang, dressed in a spacesuit, sat quietly inside the spaceship, which had been evacuated, watching Zhao Jianguo make round trips between the two spaceships, carrying over supplies one by one.

After the supplies were transported, the spaceship moved away on its own, while the spaceship Jiang Yang was on accelerated after a period of preparation.

The enormous blue planet beneath our feet gradually shrank, while the silvery-white planet ahead slowly lost its mysterious aura and became more and more real as it came into view.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Yang once again underwent multiple orbital maneuvers, deceleration, and descent procedures in space, successfully landing on the moon.

Unlike before, this time the landing site was much farther away, a full 65 kilometers from the lunar underground passage.

Based on previous observations that astronauts survived the apocalypse while located 70 kilometers from Earth, we can determine the angle at which that underground chamber released high-energy neutrinos towards Earth.

By working backward from this perspective, we can determine which areas on the moon will be affected when high-energy neutrinos explode.

Theoretically speaking, as long as our landing site avoids these areas, we can achieve the same effect as that astronaut and escape this doomsday.

In the time to come, all we need to do is wait here quietly for the end of the world to come and for humanity to be destroyed.

Because of the earlier arrival time on the moon, the astronauts obviously had more time to prepare.

Jiang Yang then saw that, with the arrival of box after box of supplies, the 14 astronauts who had successfully reached the moon were busy again.

They built ground base stations, established contact with the satellites orbiting the moon, and deployed many things that Jiang Yang couldn't understand.

With more than 20 hours left until the end of the world, they even built a makeshift shelter using the surrounding cave environment.

Using a certain thin-film material, along with some simple building materials, sufficient cables, and power generation facilities, the shelter has an interior area of ​​more than 60 square meters and is equipped with complete energy, water, oxygen, and temperature control functions.

As for radiation protection and asteroid impact protection, those are naturally not available. However, in this cave, there's no need to worry about those things.

After passing through the isolation chamber and entering the shelter, Jiang Yang was finally able to take off his heavy spacesuit.

Under the warm lights, the 14 astronauts lay on the ground, taking a quick rest.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was 11 p.m. on the tenth day of the cycle.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the apocalypse will arrive in one hour. Tong Zheng, still serving as the astronaut team leader, stood up: "Attention, all personnel, assemble!"

"Yes!"

Including Jiang Yang, a total of 15 people stood up from their temporary beds and lined up in an orderly queue.

Tong Zheng's gaze swept across everyone's faces: "Wear a spacesuit!"

The 15 people acted together.

With the help of the other astronauts, Jiang Yang quickly put on his spacesuit.

"Exit the cabin!"

Following the pre-established procedures, one astronaut after another entered the isolation chamber and then came out into the outside world.

Twenty minutes later, all 15 people had gathered outside the shelter.

The people left the cave in silence and came to a flat area outside, where they stood quietly.

Jiang Yang looked up and saw once again the azure planet, about the size of a plate. If you looked closely, you could vaguely see the flowing clouds on its surface.

There's less than half an hour left.

What are people doing on Earth right now? Are they, like in previous lifetimes, quietly guarding their underground bases, waiting for the end of the world to come?

Are people who are unaware of the doomsday news still enjoying the tranquility of the night?
At this moment, Jiang Yang's mind was filled with many thoughts.

He had experienced the apocalypse many times, so many that he had lost count. But this was the first time he was observing the apocalypse from the perspective of an outsider.

"Earth is calling the Moon. Please report your current situation."

The voice of the ground command base commander came clearly into his ears. Tong Zheng's voice followed immediately: "Reporting to Earth, our status is good."

"receive."

Time continued to pass, and gradually it came to 11:59:50.

In ten seconds, the end of the world will come.

Jiang Yang's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze was fixed firmly on that blue planet.

In the final moments before the end of the world, he heard Sun Changhe's voice once again.

"Comrades, I wish you good luck, and I wish our country and our civilization good luck as well."

At this moment, Jiang Yang could no longer control the emotions surging within him.

A total of 15 people shouted that phrase at the same time.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Time passed silently to 00:00:00.

I could vaguely hear some chaotic sounds.

Communication was not cut off, but no more voices could be heard.

Jiang Yang carefully examined himself and realized that the pain had not befallen him.

The others remained as usual.

He looked at the Earth and saw that it was still hanging there quietly, no different from before.

Tong Zheng slowly raised his arm and said in a deep voice, "Salute!"
