Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 109 They're not coming.
Alone, Jiang Yang traversed the long passage and climbed up the rope, arriving once again in the floating city.

This was his last observation of the floating city, to fill in the missing information and enhance his memory.

He also had another task to do.

Detonate that hydrogen bomb and actually test whether it can destroy this place.

After observing the floating city for several hours, Jiang Yang arrived in front of the hydrogen bomb, which resembled a small mixing tank.

After setting the timer for the explosion, Jiang Yang turned and left, then drove his electric tricycle back to the camp 65 kilometers away in a straight line.

Time slipped by silently as we waited.

There are only ten seconds left until the scheduled detonation time of the hydrogen bomb.

Jiang Yang closed his eyes, preparing himself for the impending impact.

The next moment, the entire camp shook violently, some dust rose up on its own, and a water glass that wasn't properly secured fell to the ground with a thud.

After the vibration, everything returned to normal.

"As expected of a hydrogen bomb..."

Fortunately, the campsite was far away; if it had been closer, it probably would have been completely shattered by the shockwave…

The astronauts chose to build their camp here, rather than closer to the passageway, precisely because they considered the destructive power of a hydrogen bomb.

Although there is no air on the moon, so a hydrogen bomb explosion cannot produce a devastating shockwave, it has another disadvantage.

The low water content and lack of buffering factors in lunar rocks mean that seismic waves experience less attenuation during transmission, resulting in a larger destructive range.

After inspecting the camp and confirming that it was undamaged, Jiang Yang immediately turned on his computer, connected to the satellite, and began to operate it to film the explosion site.

Because this explosion occurred underground, it did not create an electromagnetic pulse and therefore did not damage satellites in space.

The satellite photos were quickly transmitted to Jiang Yang's computer. Jiang Yang could then clearly see that the lunar landscape of the passage and the location of the floating city had been almost completely reconstructed.

The canyon disappeared, and the hills flattened. Where the land was once flat, cracks appeared out of nowhere.

"That floating city should have been destroyed by now, right?"

Jiang Yang pondered that once the earthquake caused by the hydrogen bomb explosion subsided, he would install seismometers around the camp and connect them to a satellite, sending it commands to change its orbit.

Amidst the scorching gas jets, a satellite gradually altered its orbit and then, from space, suddenly struck the vicinity of the original underground chamber's coordinates at a speed of approximately 2.4 kilometers per second.

Another weak seismic wave was generated and accurately detected by the seismometer. The data was immediately entered into the automatic analysis program.

The computer fan started humming, clearly indicating that it was running at full power.

After waiting for several hours, the image drawing was finally completed.

The underground cavity where the floating city was located disappeared.

call……

Jiang Yang let out a long sigh of relief.

Clearly, the explosion of this hydrogen bomb completely destroyed that underground chamber.

Of course, it's uncertain whether that floating city was also destroyed. But if even a hydrogen bomb can't destroy it, humanity will have no other options.

Let's just pretend it's destroyed for now.

At this point, the penultimate matter that Jiang Yang needed to confirm had yielded a result.

At least, the hydrogen bomb explosion was effective against the underground chamber structure containing this facility, left behind by an unknown super-alien civilization tasked with wiping out all of humanity. Now, only one last thing needs to be confirmed.

After this underground chamber was destroyed, will aliens come?
The remaining supplies are enough to last us 19 days. If we use them sparingly, it shouldn't be a problem to last a month.

Then let's continue to wait, and at the same time, deepen our memory of those images and materials.

In the days that followed, Jiang Yang's life became leisurely.

He spends most of his time lying in bed or playing single-player games on the computer, which helps him conserve energy.

Every now and then, he would stare at the image he had drawn for a while to reinforce his memory.

My only job each day is to move the satellite so that it passes by the coordinates of that underground cavity, take a few pictures, and then send them to a computer program for automatic analysis to see if there are any changes.

Of course, apart from a few minor asteroid impacts and subtle changes in the topography caused by internal collapse, nothing noteworthy has ever happened there.

After waiting for 15 days, estimating that the geology of the nuclear explosion site had completely stabilized, Jiang Yang once again drove the electric tricycle, guided by the satellite, across a distance of over a hundred kilometers, and personally arrived near the nuclear explosion site to confirm it with his naked eyes.

No unexpected changes have been found yet.

Back at the camp, Jiang Yang spent his last five days on the moon.

After finishing the last bag of liquid food, Jiang Yang put on his spacesuit and returned to the canyon, looking up at the sky.

The Milky Way is vast.

After observing for a long time, no signs of alien spaceships landing were seen.

Perhaps aliens really won't come.

Perhaps this place was just something they set up casually, like a child passing by an anthill and casually pouring in a bottle of water. They did it and forgot about it, and no one will pay attention to it anymore.
Or perhaps it was just pure malice, a casual joke that was nothing more than a trivial matter to them.

In any case, 30 years from now, they probably won't come back.

Jiang Yang got up and returned to the camp.

He calmly took off his spacesuit, sat down, and once again placed that crucial image before his eyes, staring at it intently, while simultaneously putting the muzzle of a pistol into his mouth.

Unlike astronauts, who have to choose the "cleanest" way to die in order to preserve equipment and avoid contaminating the camp.

As for whether it's painful or not, that's not within our consideration.

Since I don't have many concerns, I naturally do whatever is fastest and least painful.

After comprehensive consideration, swallowing a gun is still the most suitable option.

Once the trigger is pulled, the bullet will immediately penetrate the brain, killing the person before they can react or feel any pain. It is the most convenient, quick, safe, and painless method.

So... now is the time.

Jiang Yang hardened his heart and pulled the trigger, and the next moment his consciousness suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, Jiang Yang suddenly woke up and slowly sat up in bed.

"Damn, it really doesn't hurt at all..."

Jiang Yang sighed, his heart filled with peace.

The image he had just seen before his death was still vividly imprinted in his mind. He calmly walked to his desk, picked up paper and pen, and carefully and meticulously began to sketch it.

Only after he had written down everything that needed to be recorded did he pick up his phone and dial the number.
