Chapter 79 The Fall! The Fall!
Chapter 79 The Fall! The Fall!
Upon hearing Xiao Li's question, everyone present involuntarily stood up in an instant.
The expressions on everyone's faces were varied, ranging from fear and shock to anger and even relief.
The floating continent has crashed?
This is a problem that everyone has been worried about since the day it appeared.
People don't understand why it's suspended in mid-air.
It's unclear when it will fall.
It's like the Sword of Damocles, hanging over everyone's head.
And now, the longsword has finally fallen.
The thing I've been worried about has finally come to an end.
For a moment, the leaders even felt a sense of reassurance.
If I could sleep now, it would probably be the most restful sleep I've had since the floating continent appeared.
It's a pity there's no time for that anymore.
Heaven will not give them another chance to sleep.
It is said that the meteorite that destroyed the dinosaurs had a radius of only five kilometers.
When the floating continent first appeared, its radius had already reached more than 500 kilometers.
Even if it only hovers at a height of 10,000 meters, once it falls, there is still no chance of human survival.
Not to mention that it has now expanded to a radius of more than 900 kilometers, as if it is afraid that there are still survivors.
After today, the whole world will be destroyed.
Besides humans, most species on Earth will also face extinction.
Thinking about it this way, Qi Xuan's death was worthwhile.
With the entire planet Earth buried with him, this pioneer, it wouldn't be an insult to him.
As everyone was pondering this, they heard Xiao Li ask urgently:
"Explain yourself clearly: did the floating continent crash, or did fragments of landmass on the floating continent crash?"
"Are you sure it was a piece of land debris that fell?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding leaders almost choked on their breath.
"Which unit the hell are you from? Can you just say it all out clearly?!"
For a leader who is usually quite cultured, Liu Wang rarely swore.
Xiao Li glanced at Liu Wang, too embarrassed to say that Liu Wang was a drone observer belonging to his own landing team.
How big are the landmass fragments? How many are there? How wide is the affected area?
"There's only one piece right now, right? The estimated diameter is around thirty kilometers?"
"And the descent speed is extremely slow? How do you explain this extremely slow speed?"
As if he had just remembered, Xiao Li quickly pressed the speakerphone button.
Then, with the hurried explanation from the other side, everyone roughly understood the situation on the spot.
Specifically, after the floating continent stopped expanding, a piece of landmass about 30 kilometers in diameter suddenly fell from within the fog, equivalent to an entire main urban area of the capital falling from the sky. Under normal circumstances, even if it were only 30 kilometers in diameter and fell from a height of only 10,000 meters, the energy released upon impact would be equivalent to tens of millions of little boys, easily causing massive destruction of marine life, triggering a nuclear winter that would disrupt photosynthesis, leading to the extinction of more than 90% of species, and making it highly unlikely that humanity would survive.
But the difference now is that this piece of land debris is falling very slowly, possibly due to the large amount of fog it created when it fell. According to calculations, it may have fallen less than three kilometers per hour.
If this speed is maintained, it will take about three and a half hours to fall from the sky.
More importantly, the fall at this speed is quite gentle, without triggering a massive release of energy or causing instantaneous high temperatures and strong shockwaves.
Let alone affecting the entire globe, the energy fluctuations during an actual impact would probably be equivalent to that of two or three little boys.
In the ocean, such energy fluctuations are negligible and can be easily absorbed.
So, the most crucial question arises—
Will the landmass fragments continue to fall at this rate?
Or will it gradually accelerate after breaking out of the fog and finally crash into the sea?
Liu Wang immediately requested the on-site expert team to conduct rigorous calculations.
Fortunately, the final conclusion is that, based on the current rate of dissipation of the fog, a considerable portion of it will remain until the land debris falls into the sea.
This conclusion reassured everyone present somewhat, and Liu Wang immediately gave the following instructions:
"Notify the United States, the United States, and other parties to report our observations and tell them not to interfere with the landmass's fall and not to use weapons to attack it. Never mind, I'll talk to them myself."
Liu Wang hurried toward the liaison room, almost running.
In fact, the observer just reported the situation here to ask whether to launch an attack on the landmass fragments.
The drone itself carries missiles and can be launched with just a command.
Besides him, fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft from other countries were also found near the landmass debris.
Therefore, communication between them is extremely important to prevent uncontrolled changes caused by a sudden misfire that could lead to the collapse of the landmass.
After close communication among all parties, a consensus was quickly reached, given the major premise that humanity might become extinct.
Any country or individual that tries to cause trouble regarding the landmass crash will first and foremost face a severe blow from the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and other major powers.
Even if we were to attack it now, with humanity's current level of technology and weaponry, we simply wouldn't be able to destroy it.
Using weapons to attack is, in a sense, a placebo, and a placebo that may have side effects, so it's only natural that it would be abandoned.
Under the watchful eyes of the world, the landmass fragments slowly descended from the sky.
This scene was like a judgment imposed on humanity by God.
Everyone could only watch helplessly, powerless and powerless.
Fortunately, the fog around the landmass dissipated very slowly, and the falling speed remained unchanged, consistently at around three kilometers per hour.
After a long three hours, the land debris successfully landed on the sea, and people's hearts settled back into their stomachs.
Those who witnessed the incident felt a sense of relief, as if they had escaped death.
But the changes have not completely stopped after the landmass debris fell into the sea.
The special fog surrounding the landmass continued to interact with a large amount of seawater, evaporating an unusually dense amount of water vapor that blanketed the entire landmass. This also stirred up unprecedentedly strong storms that spread outwards, making it difficult to approach.
The most bizarre thing is that the monitoring results showed that an extremely strong earthquake suddenly occurred on the seabed beneath the landmass. The originally flat seabed suddenly and rapidly rose up. Before long, the huge rock peak that rose up merged with the bottom of the sinking landmass and became one with it.
To everyone's astonishment, this fragment of land that had fallen from the floating continent transformed into a brand new island in the Pacific Ocean!
