Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 139 One Hour of Doomsday
The end of the world has not only come, but it is also in the near future, within 100 days!
At that moment, Liu Fangyuan, who was specially appointed by the World Government to serve as the leader of the hibernation team of the Doomsday Plan, looked up and stared at Jiang Yang.

Everyone in the entire conference hall, whether they were the 99 people in the future plan or the rest of the staff, all looked at Jiang Yang.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall.

After a moment, Sun Changhe slowly stood up: "Comrade Jiang Yang, are you sure?"

Jiang Yang nodded vigorously: "I, I'm sure."

Sun Changhe looked at Liu Fangyuan: "In that case, Team Leader Liu, it's time to activate the emergency plan."

"Yes!"

Liu Fangyuan decisively put down the briefing document in his hand and picked up his phone.

In critical moments, he has the power to speak directly with the world government's decision-making body.

After a brief conversation, Liu Fangyuan stood up and looked directly at Sun Changhe: "The decision-making team has decided to re-establish the Doomsday Project Command Center. From this moment on, the Future Project Hibernator team will be automatically reorganized into an advisory group, fully participating in matters related to the Doomsday Project Command Center."

"Yes."

At that moment, all 100 hibernators stood up at the same time, their expressions filled with solemnity and reverence.

After hundreds of hibernations and decades of waiting, our war has finally arrived.

As key survivors of the apocalypse decades ago, we will rely on our experience to help our civilization survive this catastrophe.

Like a sudden burst of murderous intent in a soothing melody, the once smooth and orderly human world suddenly became tense and anxious.

Car after car, airplane after airplane, and radio waves shuttled back and forth. This enormous institution, far more powerful than any single national team in the past, managing the entirety of human civilization and the entire planet, was operating at an unprecedented speed.

An hour later, all the hibernators arrived at the conference room. The images of the current council members, decision-making team members, and scientific researchers appeared on the large screen in front of them.

Sun Changhe stood up solemnly and went to the microphone.

“据现有情报，我们可以确定这一次末日的发生时间，是在今天之后的第52天到100天之间，也即2078年9月10日到10月28日，这48天之中的某一天。”

Jiang Yang knew that in his previous life, after waking up this time, he went into hibernation again, and then woke up again, during which he encountered the apocalypse.

If you die because of the apocalypse, you will be reborn 100 days before the apocalypse. This raises the question: does the apocalypse occur at the very beginning of the third hibernation, or at the very end of hibernation?

If it arrives at the very end, then counting back 100 days, one's rebirth time will be at the end of this first hibernation, giving one nearly 100 days to prepare.

However, if the apocalypse arrives just as the third hibernation begins, then the time one is reborn back to will be the beginning of the first hibernation.

For the next 50 days, I wasted in hibernation and failed to report the information to the World Government in time. Humanity only had about 50 days left to prepare.

This seems detrimental to humanity's fight against the apocalypse. But there's no other way; it's the only solution that can strike a balance between extending one's own lifespan and ensuring humanity has as much time as possible to fight the apocalypse.

Sun Changhe continued, "The second piece of intelligence is that we can confirm that the time from the appearance of signs of the apocalypse to the actual annihilation of all human civilization will not exceed one hour. This is because existing hibernation equipment can already wake hibernators within one hour and restore their consciousness. We obviously did not do this in our previous life."

The only thing preventing us from doing this is that the apocalypse would happen too quickly, leaving us no time to react. Conversely, we can then determine the duration of the apocalypse.

The third piece of intelligence is that our hibernation base is extremely secure and located at a geologically stable point. According to current geological research, it is virtually impossible for earthquakes, volcanoes, or other geological disasters to occur within at least 1000 years. Furthermore, even if a nuclear bomb with a yield of ten megatons were to directly and continuously bombard the surface, it could still operate stably for at least a day, which would be enough time to awaken all the hibernators.

The fourth piece of intelligence is that our integrated risk monitoring network covering space, the sky, the surface, and underground, as well as the lunar astronauts and space station astronauts, failed to detect any early signs of this doomsday event more than an hour in advance and failed to issue timely warnings.

This is all the intelligence we have at the moment. So, experts, what kind of disaster do you believe could have erupted suddenly within just one hour, without triggering all our risk monitoring networks, and claimed all our lives?

Sun Changhe was met with a long silence.

"Everyone here is an elite of human civilization, and the only one capable of shouldering the responsibility of saving humanity and continuing civilization. I hope that you can digest, absorb, and reflect on this information in the shortest possible time, and then put it into your work."

The meeting will now be adjourned for one hour, and will resume in one hour.

The large screen disappeared, and in the hibernator conference hall, Sun Changhe looked at his companions: "Everyone, take a break for a while."

An hour later, the meeting resumed.

An expert raised his hand and said, "The last apocalypse took the form of high-energy neutrinos targeting human genes, triggering secondary radiation inside the human body, and ultimately killing all humans indiscriminately."

Could this apocalypse be another event targeting human genes through some kind of mechanism?

Lu Zhaoming, who serves as a scientific advisor in the hibernator team, pondered and said, "That's possible."

In the previous life, the extraterrestrial equipment that stimulated high-energy neutrinos was located on the moon. In this life, have we discovered any space facilities around Earth that are not of human origin?

"I can confirm that there was no. The fact that the risk monitoring network failed to issue early warnings is proof of that."

Let alone extraterrestrial facilities hundreds of meters in size, we are confident that we can detect even asteroids less than one meter in size once they approach Earth.

A thoughtful look appeared on Lu Zhaoming's face.

He vaguely sensed that his side was in almost the same predicament as at the beginning of the last apocalypse.

It takes effect in a short time and cannot be avoided regardless of the level of protection.

This inevitably means that this method of killing has extremely strong penetrating power.

Last time it was neutrinos, and this time... perhaps it will still be neutrinos?
He knew that in this lifetime, his side would probably not be able to obtain any useful information.

Human civilization in this era is once again destined for extinction. The only thing they can do is the same thing that nations could do in the cycles Jiang Yang described.

Gather intelligence to provide decision-making support for the next generation of human civilization.
