Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 75 Lunar Bombing
At this moment, on the desolate and lifeless lunar surface, eight lunar rovers simultaneously raised their cameras, pointing them towards the sky.

At that moment, under the sunlight, hundreds of nuclear warheads, like hundreds of meteors, fell to the earth from the far reaches of space in an instant.

The next moment, an almost inexhaustible burst of light and heat was triggered by the energy equivalent to the simultaneous explosion of hundreds of billions of tons of TNT.

The entire earth was shaking.

But before the tremor arrived, the intense light and heat that arrived earlier had already destroyed the eight small lunar rovers in an instant.

Before they could even melt, they were reduced to ashes and turned into a mass of high-temperature plasma, merging with the lunar dust and rocks that were also melted, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

At that moment, the high-temperature plasma gained enough kinetic energy to break free of the moon's gravitational field and head straight into space. Also blasted away were solid rocks and dust further away, which, while not melted into plasma, had also gained enough kinetic energy.

The violent electromagnetic pulse extended tens of thousands of kilometers away in that instant, even affecting satellites in Earth's orbit.

If those satellites orbiting the moon hadn't collided with it, they would have been destroyed by this electromagnetic pulse as well.

Even satellites that managed to avoid the effects of this momentary electromagnetic pulse by hiding on the far side of the moon would not survive.

Because so much material and dust was ejected into space by the nuclear explosion, when it reached the lunar side, it would be subjected to intense friction, heating, and interference from this dust, making complete destruction its only outcome.

On Earth, outside Doomsday Base 7, Jiang Yang stared at the flash that suddenly appeared on the Tranquil Plain, remaining silent.

The flash was incredibly bright, brighter than anywhere else on the moon. Whether it was an illusion or not, Jiang Yang even vaguely saw some reflected shadows appear around him at that moment.

He knew that no interception had occurred, and that the nuclear missile launched by his side had accurately hit its target.

The night remained still, and the world did not change despite the sudden increase in the moon's brightness.

The insects were still chirping, and the night breeze was still blowing quietly.

The flash lasted for a few seconds before slowly disappearing.

Jiang Yang stood up and looked at Zhou Yu: "Let's go."

Back in the base's conference room, Jiang Yang saw the real-world view of the Mare Tranquillitatis on the moon, captured by an orbital telescope.

There's no other way but to use an orbital telescope for this purpose, since all the lunar satellites have already been destroyed.

He saw that the once desolate and lifeless Jinghai Plain, covered by thick moon dust, had now transformed into a sea of ​​lava.

Endless magma flowed freely across the lunar surface, and a giant crater hundreds of meters deep and tens of square kilometers in area appeared at the site of the nuclear explosion.

The nuclear bomb's power was almost entirely released onto the moon.

"I wonder if that underground cavity, and the creations that might exist within it, have been destroyed..."

Jiang Yang knew that it was impossible for his side to confirm this through technical means in the short term. There were no longer any human-made probes around the moon, and launching one in a short time was also impossible.

But that doesn't matter; whether those anomalies have been destroyed can be determined in another, simpler and more direct way.

The answer will be revealed in just 1 hour and 40 minutes.

After completing their final rest and preparations, Jiang Yang and his group returned to that familiar hall.

Ahead was still that chair that resembled a hospital bed.

He didn't rush to sit down because there was still some time and some things he needed to do.

Professor Li Jiaming spoke first.

"Through multiple rounds of exploration and data analysis, we have now significantly improved our understanding of that underground cavity."

It has been confirmed that it is located 500-1000 meters underground, with a total internal volume of approximately 0.1 to 0.5 cubic kilometers. The coordinates are as follows: ...

The coordinate error is around 50%.

Professor Li Jiaming looked at Jiang Yang, his face full of exhaustion: "If the apocalypse still comes, then let's take this data to the next life, so that we won't have to pay such a high price in the next life..."

Jiang Yang nodded silently and wrote down the data.

The second person to find Jiang Yang was Professor Chen Yusheng.

"Over the past five days, we have organized multiple expert teams to conduct restoration and inspection of the rocket debris from the failed launch, attempting to roughly pinpoint the scope and cause of the malfunction."

We collected a total of 7365 types of malfunctions and categorized them into five main groups. We then developed a comprehensive plan to minimize these malfunctions, which includes the following five points. If there is a next life, and that life still has a need for rapid, large-scale rocket launches, then let us pass on these five plans to our next generation. This way, we won't waste so many resources and wealth, and prevent so many astronauts and warriors from losing their lives in vain…”

Professor Chen Yusheng's voice was low and his eyes were bloodshot. His once strong muscles now looked somewhat withered, as if he had suffered a serious illness.

He wasn't in a good mental state either; he seemed somewhat dazed.

Jiang Yang knew that he hadn't been having a good time these past few days after witnessing the deaths of more than a dozen astronauts due to rocket launch failures.

"Please rest assured, I will."

"call……"

As if relieved of something, Professor Chen Yusheng gently patted Jiang Yang's hand and left, dragging his weary body.

The third person to arrive was Professor Lu Zhaoming.

"Our two neutrino detectors are ready. Following the pattern from your previous life, the corresponding data will also be presented to you this time. Through this observation, we can pinpoint the location of the radiation source more accurately, and combined with previous lunar seismic wave observations, we can further improve the positioning accuracy."

"Yes."

The fourth person to connect with Jiang Yang was Li Chengyu, who was 70 kilometers away.

Due to the distance, the two-way communication delay between the two locations is as high as 4.67 seconds, and the conversation is always interrupted, like a pause.

In the video, Li Chengyu is suspended in a small, weightless cabin, and appears to be in good spirits.

He also connected numerous pipes and monitors to himself. If his physical condition changed, the corresponding information would reach Earth within three seconds and appear before Jiang Yang.

Facing Jiang Yang, Li Chengyu did not speak, but simply raised his arm and saluted him.

Jiang Yang also looked serious and saluted.

With everything prepared, it was almost time, and Jiang Yang lay back down on the chair.

The doctor reappeared carrying a medicine box.

Jiang Yang's gaze swept over Sun Changhe, Gu Changshan, and the others, finally settling on Zhou Yu.

"Want a shot?"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "There is a very important branch of psychology..."

"Near-death psychology, right?"

Jiang Yang interrupted her directly, ignoring her surprise: "It's always the same thing... and when the apocalypse comes, they're still rolling on the ground in pain."

"You got a shot in your last life, are you sure you don't want to come this time?"

Zhou Yu's expression shifted, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "No."

I believe the end of the world won't come, it definitely won't...

Jiang Yang sighed softly.

"I believe it too..."

He stretched out his arm, letting the doctor inject the medicine into his body.

Time slipped by quietly, and that familiar sense of detachment returned.

From this seemingly "detached" perspective, Jiang Yang saw the countdown reset to zero once again.

A familiar sense of awkwardness and pain washed over me.

At that moment, a thought instantly surfaced in Jiang Yang's mind.

"The apocalypse has finally come! Damn it!"
