Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 166 The real murderer!

Jiang Yang sat quietly in his seat, all his attention focused on the huge screen in front of him.

Theoretically speaking, even the most violent earthquakes on Earth are unlikely to affect the space station in space.

However, people have no way of knowing whether this apocalypse only includes one effect.

There might be other effects that could cause the space station to be affected as well.

Therefore, forced memorization in a short period of time is still necessary.

Astronaut Zhuo Fangting walked over carrying a suitcase.

"Consultant Jiang, these are some medications that help calm the mind and improve concentration and memory..."

"I understand, thank you for your help."

He simply stretched out his arm, letting the injection slowly flow into his body.

The next moment, Jiang Yang felt as if his brain had entered an overclocked state, instantly becoming much "smarter".

His mind was clearer than ever before. Some problems that had accumulated during his previous studies were not deliberately thought about at this moment; they were simply touched upon unintentionally by his wandering thoughts, and were instantly solved.

This even gave him a sense of profound enlightenment.

"Damn, this medicine is incredibly effective."

It's just a pity that the side effects are a bit too severe...

A corner of his consciousness sighed silently, then focused entirely on the huge display screen in front of him.

An image is now displayed above.

This image contains valuable data collected during this human world's comprehensive examination of the Earth, after screening, as well as data on the technology and methods of ion drilling equipment, and data on ultra-large-scale engineering organization.

Subsequently, if new data is generated when the apocalypse arrives, this image will begin to slowly change based on this moment, eventually freezing in time.

Theoretically, all that's needed is for Jiang Yang to remember the final, frozen image. However, after careful research and discussion, Earth scientists ultimately decided on a dynamic, variable, and then fixed-image approach.

In this way, Jiang Yang's mental memory ability can be maximized, not only greatly improving accuracy but also enhancing reliability.

The time has now reached the last minute before the end of the world.

The image in front of me remained unchanged.

"As expected, just like last time, this apocalypse will only suddenly erupt at the predetermined time? There was no warning beforehand..."

He knew that the attempt by Earth scientists to find clues about the apocalypse through numerous mantle probe bases and Earth monitoring systems, and thus to determine its cause, had failed.

At this moment, at Earth-1 Supercomputing Base.

Almost all members of the decision-making team, deliberation team, hibernation advisory team, and scientific team gathered here.

And at the very core of this effort, without a doubt, is the Earth exploration team composed of geophysicists, geologists, and other related scientists.

All eyes were on them. And their gazes were focused on dozens of different large screens.

Those screens will display data in real time from numerous detection systems on Earth. Once the apocalypse arrives, they can use the changes in this data to make some judgments about the causes of the apocalypse.

The countdown had reached 5. Then it became 4, 3, 2, 1, 0...

A slight tremor suddenly came from the ground beneath their feet. Along with this tremor, countless data points on dozens of large screens began to change wildly.

At that moment, hundreds of geophysicists almost instinctively stood up, their eyes wide open, their faces filled with shock. In that instant, they subconsciously ignored the tremors beneath their feet, the lives they were about to lose, and everything around them.

In their world, only those changing data remain.

So……

"The viscosity of the mantle material is decreasing! The velocity of movement is increasing! Temperature, temperature... the temperature is not changing!"

"The continental plate is shifting! The speed is about 1 centimeter per hour, which is more than 1000 times the normal speed, and it is still accelerating!"

"The Earth's magnetic field is changing! The Earth's core is also being affected!"

The tremors beneath their feet grew more intense, and people were even losing their footing. Things began to fall from the specially reinforced ceiling above their heads.

Everyone knew in their hearts that death was no longer far away.

So……

One decision-maker shouted at the top of his lungs, "What is the cause of this apocalypse?!"

"It's not entirely certain yet, but based on the available data, it's the mantle! It's the mantle!"

"The mantle material has been disturbed by an unknown force, resulting in a series of changes that affect the crust above, the core below, and ultimately the Earth's magnetic field. It is the mantle!"

The next moment, the rapidly changing data on dozens of large screens suddenly stopped, and the images froze instantly.

People knew that not all the data had been collected, but rather that communications had been cut off.

It is certain that the global Earth exploration network is still generating massive amounts of data, but that data can no longer be transmitted here.

Earth-1 supercomputer has disconnected from them.

The heavy ceiling emitted a teeth-grinding creak, and then suddenly collapsed.

……

Hundreds of kilometers above the Earth's surface, Space Station 6.

At the moment the countdown to the end of the world reached zero, Jiang Yang saw the pattern composed of numerous colored blocks and lines on the screen in front of him begin to slowly change.

He knew that the Earth-1 supercomputer was filling in the massive amount of data it had acquired.

He stared intently at the changes, and as a result, the image he had memorized beforehand seemed to be forcibly adjusted by an external force, slowly aligning with the newly formed image.

This is not about memorizing a completely new image, but about making adjustments to existing memories. In this way, you can remember more complex images and more information and data.

At this moment, he had no idea what secrets these images held, nor whether people had made any judgment about the truth of the apocalypse.

He didn't care about any of that. At that moment, there was only one thing left in his world.

Memorize this adjusted and altered image and pass it on to scientists in the next generation to decipher it.

But this doomsday didn't seem to give him enough time.

For some reason, the brightness of the screen in front of me suddenly started to increase, like a light bulb overloaded with electricity.

Once the brightness reaches its limit, the light bulb will explode. And now, this enormous screen, hundreds of kilometers above Earth, is facing the same fate.

With a loud bang, fragments flew everywhere.
