YM778.TV Chapter 425
Chapter 425: Noah’s Ark
“Be careful. Be careful!”
“Check the nuclear bomb system again!”
“Check, check, and check some more. Keep checking relentlessly. We can only deliver this one nuclear bomb to space because of the load. If there is a problem with the bomb, we will not have a second chance!”
“……”
“We might not have a lot of things in Russia, but our vodka and nuclear bombs are definitely the best in the world! There is nothing wrong with this Big Ivan!”
Seeing the staff of the spaceport inspecting this nuclear bomb inside and out many times, a Russian couldn’t help but shout.
The staff of many countries ignored him and continued working on their posts. The data had to be checked countless times to ensure their success. This was a matter of life and death for the entire human race, so it was only right to be cautious.
Seeing this, the Russian could only mutter to himself and get back to his own business.
“Old Xu, how’s the training going?”
A Chinese astronaut came to Old Xu’s side and asked.
Old Xu was also Chinese. He was one of the best exploration and drilling experts in China. In order to perfectly drill a hole to place the nuclear bomb on the asteroid, Old Xu had been called to this so-called ‘Avengers Alliance’, to help save the world
Naturally, this name was given by the Americans. Although other countries wanted to change the name, now was not really the time to be arguing about these things, so they could only accept it.
“Training? What good is training when I’ve only trained for less than three days before I will be sent out to space.”
Old Xu complained. He pulled out a photo of his son and touched it, “I have watched so many Hollywood movies… to think that I would one day become one of the main characters in one.”
Old Xu shook his head, “But if I don’t go, that satellite will really fall on Earth. My family would not be able to survive, so this is something that I have to do.”
He was just an ordinary man without any big ideals nor any great righteousness to save mankind. As he said, his purpose was very simple. For his family, he was willing to sacrifice his life.
The astronaut patted his shoulder without saying anything. For the sake of mankind, all governments of the world had truly united as one. In less than two days after the start of the project, the Russians had already shipped their treasured Big Ivan. The governments of all countries had also deployed their top experts in various fields that were capable of helping toward the success of the mission.
In order to blow up the asteroid, there needed to be demolition experts, weapons experts, excavation experts, and so on. These people would be sent to space, but they were not experienced in space navigation, so they were given two days to understand the basic space survival methods before being thrown into the void.
Fortunately, there were also professional astronauts who would accompany them to prevent these novices from having any mess-ups. If they were to go alone, then it was the same as a person who just learned driving being made to drive a Formula 1 race car. A completely pointless sacrifice.
Because of the weight of the nuclear bomb as well as the amount of heavy machinery, the United States also brought out their super heavy-lift launch vehicle, the Saturn V. Due to the cost of launching these things, the United States of America had long retired it, but for the sake of mankind, they did not care for the Expenses.
On the ground, many people were busily watching the heavyweight nuclear bomb placed on the rocket. No one expected that the Russians still had a Big Ivan. It appeared that the agreements signed by the governments were really nothing but farts.
……
“Ten, nine, eight… three, two, one, blast off!”
In the launch control center of the Kennedy Space Center, the staff all looked nervously. Everyone all over the world who was watching the launch also began to pray, pray for the success of ‘Noah’s Ark’ that was going to space carrying the ‘Avengers’.
“First stage rocket ignition…”
“First stage rocket detached, second stage rocket ignition!”
“……”
“Launch vehicle has reached escape velocity, reaching Earth’s orbit… Second stage rocket detached, third stage rocket ignited…”
“The launch vehicle is breaking through Earth’s atmosphere gravity.”
“The spacecraft has broken through Earth’s gravitational orbit and is heading for Jupiter LXVI, we’ve done it!”
A cheer went up in the launch tower as countless people shrieked and hugged each other with tears streaming down their faces.
This time, the launch was really too rushed. If it failed, mankind would not have a second chance. Moreover, this was the last Big Ivan that the Russians had. If it detonated in the middle of the launch, mankind did not have enough time to make another nuclear bomb with that large of a yield.
“May God bless us!”
“……”
The staff members wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads and bowed in prayer.
At the same moment, media all over the world transmitted the news of the successful launch, so that all human beings cheered together and thanked their gods for their blessings. People could imagine that if the spaceship failed to launch, human society would no longer have a future. They would definitely be destroyed.
The despair at the knowledge of impending doom would have simply triggered everyone’s madness.
……
Noah’s Ark no longer cared about fuel loss and flew at full speed toward Jupiter LXVI. At the same time, Jupiter LXVI also flew at high speed toward Earth.
Two days later, the crew of Noah’s Ark was able to see the demonic moon that was about to destroy humanity.
“Adjust the speed of the ship to be able to properly orbit Jupiter LXVI. This will be the final test, a perfect landing on Jupiter LXVI!”
The American, Chinese, and Russian astronauts manned the spacecraft with extreme calm. After reaching the same speed as the asteroid, they began to find a flat area to prepare for landing.
The many professionals in the cabin closed their eyes and prayed. Although their actions and plans were for human self-salvation, at this time, all they could believe in was the blessing of the gods.
“Booom!”
The spaceship violently shook, and some people could not help but vomit their lunch, but Noah’s Ark had finally landed on Jupiter LXVI.
“Landing successful, we have successfully arrived on Jupiter LXVI.”
“Begin inspecting the spacecraft.”
“There is no damage to the escape bunker. Plan B does not need to be implemented. We will now begin plan A. Everyone should act fast according to the rehearsal. We only have seventeen hours to place the nuclear bomb and escape. Humanity is waiting for us. For the sake of our families, for the sake of our children, for us to be able to have another Christmas, let’s put our best feet forward!”
With the navigator’s roar, everyone got to work and drove a machine to carry the vehicle to the blasting site!
