Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 214 I brought the data back
Although he had a premonition, Jiang Yang was still thrilled when he actually heard the news from the scientific director.

It's been three years since I left Earth, a full three years!
Even if we only consider the observation time, we have spent two and a half years in this tiny Earth VI space!
Day after day of observation, calculation, analysis, and organization; day after day of encountering unexpected events and then repairing them; day after day of eating bland starchy food and drinking foul-smelling recycled water; watching one by one, my companions leave me, either due to illness or accidents...

All these days are finally over!

We have completed close-up observations of the entire asteroid belt. We have collected data on the orbits of more than 100 billion small celestial bodies less than 1 kilometer in size and created statistical tables. We have improved the accuracy of various data that could affect the orbit of that black hole by an order of magnitude. If we can bring this data to the next life, this apocalypse may very well be ended by us!

At that moment, Jiang Yang suddenly stood up, so excited that he almost roared out loud.

He had assumed his colleagues would share his excitement. But to his surprise, they fell silent after the announcement.

The conference room was completely silent, with only the hum of the air circulation system breaking the silence.

Jiang Yang looked at the people with some surprise, only to see them frozen in place like wooden statues. After a long while, a very suppressed sob was heard.

"Finally finished, sob sob, it's finally over..."

Large, round, glistening tears welled up in the eyes of the middle-aged man, who was over fifty years old. They floated in the weightless cabin like pearls.

As if a switch had been flipped, the crying grew louder and louder, and from one person to several. In an instant, the conference hall was filled with the sound of weeping.

People were wailing and crying, seemingly releasing all the loneliness and pressure they had felt during that period.

Jiang Yang's excitement remained, but his eyes began to sting a little.

It took an unknown amount of time for the meeting room to gradually return to calm.

"Alright, alright, our mission is finally complete. We haven't let civilization down."

The scientific director said with deep emotion, occasionally reaching up to touch his eyes: "Everyone should be happy, they should be happy."

"Yes, yes, I'm happy, I'm happy."

"Um... Captain Liu, I'd like to request that we bring out all the remaining food tonight for a family dinner. What do you think?"

After Zhuo Fangting's sacrifice, Liu Liwei, who took his place as the captain of the astronaut team, nodded: "Okay."

At this moment, cheers finally erupted in the conference hall.

After eating starchy porridge for three years, I can finally have a proper meal again!

That night, even though the pre-made vegetable packets had been stored for more than three years and already had a slightly off smell, people ate them with unprecedented relish.

The warehouse, which was already nearly empty, was now completely cleaned. All the food was eaten, not a single bite was left.

After the dinner, it was time for the final task of this mission.

The chart containing the secrets of the asteroid belt has been completed and is now clearly displayed in front of Jiang Yang.

In just over ten minutes, Jiang Yang memorized it once again.

"In addition to this data, you also need to bring over our previous research findings on that black hole."

The scientific director said, "What a rare opportunity to observe a black hole approaching! Let future generations build upon our observations and conduct even deeper explorations."

Jiang Yang nodded: "I had already memorized these data before we set off."

"Okay. There's also some data about the changes in the sun over the past three years. If you can remember it, take it with you."

Jiang Yang knew that although this data was not as important as direct observation data of black holes, it was still extremely valuable.

A black hole vibrates back and forth inside the sun. To make an analogy, it's like a big fish entering a once calm pond and stirring it up, stirring up all the silt at the bottom of the pond.

Many things that were originally hidden beneath the water's surface and could not be observed will be revealed, which is extremely valuable for our research on stellar structure and the internal workings of stars.

“I’ve already written it down.”

"That……"

The scientific director looked at Jiang Yang, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

Jiang Yang laughed and said, "I understand."

He turned around and went back to the control panel. After operating it, the image of Earth reappeared on the large screen.

Under the cover of night on Earth, that lamp still quietly emits its light.

"Earth, here I come..."

He pulled a pistol from his waist, and under the silent gaze of more than a hundred people, put it in his mouth and gently pulled the trigger.

……

The next moment, Jiang Yang opened his eyes again.

"Comrade Jiang Yang, this is your 237th time waking up from hibernation. How do you feel?"

The familiar face of Shen Wei, the director of the hibernation base, came into view once again.

Jiang Yang took a deep breath and said calmly, "The end of the world is coming. Let's execute the emergency plan." Shen Wei's body visibly stiffened for a moment, and then he subconsciously pulled the sketching table over.

This time, Jiang Yang did not refuse.

He grabbed a pen and quickly sketched on the paper. In a short while, he presented the information collected by more than 100 scientists and 50 astronauts in his previous life over a total of three years in the form of a statistical table on the paper.

call……

After finishing this task, Jiang Yang finally felt completely relaxed and had the energy and time to appreciate his current environment.

Comfortable gravity, odorless air, a comfortable temperature, and a spacious interior...

"Earth is still the best."

In just one hour, Jiang Yang and the other hibernators were sitting in the conference hall again, and they saw the familiar faces of many of the attendees once more.

In the nuclear physics conference hall, Jiang Yang searched around and spotted Professor Yu Qing.

Compared to his previous life, when he lay on the hospital bed, lifeless like a withered tree, he now sat there waiting for the meeting to begin, appearing energetic, calm, and powerful.

In his previous life, because the attempt to save the world failed and the black hole was destined to fall into the sun, leading to the extinction of human civilization, Jiang Yang did not try to change his mind or give him the motivation to live.

In the end, we're all going to die anyway, so it's meaningless.

Those things will never happen again in this lifetime.

All attendees were present. After a brief introduction, the microphone was once again handed to Jiang Yang.

"We have experienced several apocalypses, and in these apocalypses, we have finally found the truth and found an effective solution..."

In our previous life, we successfully executed the black hole interception plan, but it ultimately failed due to the chaotic effect, as the black hole fell into the sun.

Therefore, I, along with some scientists and astronauts, went to the edge of the asteroid belt and carried out an observation mission for two and a half years..."

Jiang Yang picked up the sheet of paper he had sketched and displayed it to all the attendees: "I have brought back statistical data on hundreds of billions of small celestial bodies less than 1 kilometer in size within the asteroid belt."

With this additional data, we believe that in this lifetime, we can more accurately simulate the orbit of a black hole, ultimately guiding it into a stable orbit around the sun and ending this apocalypse.

Jiang Yang raised his head, his eyes filled with determination: "Yes, end the apocalypse!"

In this lifetime, we truly possess the power to end the apocalypse!

It's still the same old story.

Getting sick isn't scary, as long as it's treatable.

Moreover, in this life, because they have more accurate information about the black hole's orbit, they don't even need to build as many hydrogen bombs anymore.

Only about 10 are needed.

This quantity would be sufficient if our side simply dismantled existing nuclear weapons and to some extent consolidated the fuel reserves of nuclear power plants.

Our side no longer needs to carry out the nuclear proliferation program with endless consequences, no longer needs to carry out large-scale rocket launches and hydrogen bomb delivery missions, and no longer needs to perform so many orbital data calculations...

All it takes is to easily deliver 10 hydrogen bombs!
For Jiang Yang, who had experienced countless massive missions, the mission he needed to perform in this life was nothing at all.

There couldn't be a better outcome.

At this moment, people are somewhat somber because of the news of the apocalypse, but they are also excited because the apocalypse can be ended, and it can be ended without paying too high a price.

"Comrade Jiang Yang, thank you for your hard work and dedication."

Please allow me, on behalf of the World Government's decision-making and deliberative bodies, and of all human civilization, to express our sincerest gratitude to you.

The head of the World Government decision-making group stood up, and the members of the decision-making group and council sitting next to him, as well as all the participants in the entire video conference room, also stood up at the same time, and then bowed deeply to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang remained silent for a moment, then accepted it calmly.

"Distinguished attendees, on behalf of the previous generation of human civilization and everyone who contributed to ending the apocalypse, I accept your gratitude."

At that moment, many people and many things came to mind.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted in the virtual conference room.

As the applause subsided, the head of the decision-making team solemnly announced: "Now, Professor Lu Zhaoming, please immediately supplement the parameters brought back by Comrade Jiang Yang into the calculation, calculate the optimal interception point for the black hole, prepare for the interception, and then... end the apocalypse!"

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted once again.

In the previous life, our side was just a hair's breadth away from success. But in this life, that missing hair's breadth has been made up for; how could our side possibly fail?

Next, we just need to wait for Professor Lu and his team to calculate the final result, and then we can deliver the hydrogen bomb there.

In just three days, Professor Lu Zhaoming's team completed the final calculations.

His expression was very bad, and he seemed to be in a daze, as if his soul had left his body.
