Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 165 Goodbye
"Major progress has been made in the mantle exploration program!"

"Through a comprehensive study of six deep wells that reach directly into the mantle, scientists have clearly identified superplumes as the cause of the doomsday global earthquakes."

"Superplume Explained: What is the mantle? What is a mantle plume?"

"Scientists plan to use a super-giant hydrogen bomb to directly bombard the mantle in order to solve the super plume problem."

Can a super-massive hydrogen bomb really shatter a super plume of mantle? A detailed answer in this article:
We all know that superplumes are...

Therefore, compared to the super mantle plume containing immense energy, powerful enough to crack the entire Earth's crust, our largest existing hydrogen bomb is as insignificant as an ant facing a mountain.

So why did scientists decide to use a super-massive hydrogen bomb to avert the apocalypse? The secret lies in the chaos effect. The chaos effect is...

Thus, while a super-massive hydrogen bomb cannot directly cause a sufficiently large impact on a superplume, it can exert a certain deflection force on it at key locations, which will lead to changes in the flow of mantle material throughout the entire structure, thereby dissipating stress…

"The timetable for the hydrogen bomb test has been finalized! It's about to..."

……

Sitting in the car on the way to the launch site, Jiang Yang scrolled through the endless reports on his phone, feeling the public's attention and enthusiasm for the matter, and sighed softly.

He put away his phone and looked at the huge rocket in the distance.

It was already standing in front of the launch tower, with wisps of white mist emanating from its base. This meant that it had completed refueling and was ready to launch as soon as it arrived.

Jiang Yang had experienced rocket launches many times. But this time, he wasn't worried about a launch failure at all.

With the aerospace industry now highly developed and increasingly mature, rocket launch failures are probably one in ten thousand times.

I shouldn't be that unlucky.

Upon entering the launch site, numerous members of the deliberation group, decision-making group, and hibernation group greeted them.

"Comrade Jiang Yang, I'm entrusting the rest to you."

"Director Sun, please rest assured."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, a spirited young man with a buzz cut walked over and said, "Advisor Jiang, I am Zhuo Fangting. I will be working with you on this launch mission."

Even today, being an astronaut is a highly technical profession that requires extensive professional training to master.

Clearly, this Zhuo Fangting is the astronaut who came to escort him to the space station.

Looking at Zhuo Fangting's resolute expression, Jiang Yang felt a slight daze, as if he saw the figures of those astronauts from long ago.

"Thank you, please."

"Please rest assured, Advisor Jiang, I guarantee that this launch mission will be completed."

Jiang Yang patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.

The two donned their intravehicular activity suits and entered the spacecraft, located at the top of the cabin, via a dedicated passageway.

Compared to the spaceship in my memory, the spaceship now is much more spacious, as well as more refined and complete, at least there aren't so many flying wires floating outside.

"Countdown 3, 2, 1, 0, ignition!"

The familiar overload pressure surged through his body once more. Jiang Yang closed his eyes, silently enduring the pressure. Zhuo Fangting, standing beside him, remained serious, occasionally pressing buttons under the immense overload pressure.

In just a few minutes, Jiang Yang suddenly felt a lightness in his body, and the next moment he floated up as if he were floating on water.

He knew they had arrived in space.

After a series of orbital maneuvers and docking maneuvers, the small spacecraft was connected to the huge space station.

It was a spindle-shaped space station, over four hundred meters long, pointed at both ends, with a huge annular chamber in the middle, two hundred meters in diameter, that rotated constantly around its central axis.

Jiang Yang knew that this would create a certain amount of gravity within the circular cabin, which was extremely important for the astronauts' long-term survival, physical and mental health. Following the passageway, he traversed the weightless corridor for a moment before arriving at the circular cabin, where Jiang Yang once again experienced the feeling of having his feet firmly on the ground.

Before us, all one hundred-plus astronauts working on this space station have assembled.

"Consultant Jiang, we will be assisting you in your work from now on."

"Thank you."

After familiarizing himself with the working environment of the space station, understanding the working mode of the screen and equipment connected to Earth-1 supercomputer, and going through several simulations, Jiang Yang mastered the entire process.

All that's left is to wait.

He checked the time and saw that it was already 2 a.m. in the Eastern Time Zone 8.

There are only five hours left until the end of the world.

Looking out the porthole at the planet covered by thick clouds, a mixture of blue, white, yellow, and other colors, Jiang Yang turned on his phone again.

The online world is now in a state of jubilation.

The World Government had just announced the successful detonation of the super hydrogen bomb, the dissipation of the super mantle plume due to the chaotic effect, and the apocalypse had been averted.

Countless people were moved to tears, and countless people celebrated this victory.

On the other side of the Earth, in the darkness, every city was brightly lit. One giant firework after another rose into the sky and exploded with a deafening roar. The colors of the numerous fireworks blended together, and even Jiangyang, hundreds of kilometers above the ground, could vaguely see them.

He could fully imagine how jubilant people on Earth must be at that moment.

Defeating the apocalypse is something to be happy about. But this time, the apocalypse was resolved with our own participation, which makes it even more gratifying.

Unfortunately……

Jiang Yang sighed and looked away.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and in the blink of an eye, there were only 20 minutes left until the end of the world.

Sitting in my seat in front of that screen, I heard the clear and solemn voice of the Earth team.

"206th overall test:"
The communication system is functioning normally.

Earth-1 supercomputer is functioning normally, with power supply and cooling systems operating normally.

All modules of the global monitoring network and the space-based satellite observation network are functioning normally.

The deep well detector network is functioning normally.

The global helium isotope observation network is functioning normally.

Mantle exploration bases 1 through 6 are operating normally.

……

A detection network, larger and more sophisticated than the last apocalypse, is truly ready for everything.

According to the original plan, even if human civilization were to perish and the space station were to lose all support from the human world, the supplies stored on it would be enough for Jiang Yang and the astronauts to survive for more than a year.

If certain extreme measures are taken, survival time may be extended.

There was plenty of time. Even though the amount of data to be memorized this time was greater than ever before, Jiang Yang was confident he could complete the task.

So……

Goodbye, Earth.
