Moon Spacetime.
Chief Engineer Ji led his team, who had spent two hours traveling through Wandering Spacetime, back to their posts at the aerospace center.
"Immediately retrieve all data and information from the lunar surface, then compare it with the latest data we received to see how much the two sets of data differ..."
Chief Engineer Ji stood in front of the computer and personally instructed everyone on the tasks to come.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Even though most of them had never been to the Wandering Spacetime with Chief Engineer Ji, the staff at the aerospace center already knew about the lunar orbital deviation and that all their current work might be for the sake of saving Earth, so they all became extremely vigilant.
I was both excited and terrified.
This applies to everyone.
The spacetime communication system, which was just transferred from the Wandering Spacetime, has been connected to the aerospace center.
The latest data sent is the lunar exploration results from the Wandering Spacetime. Chief Engineer Ji having people compare the differences between the moons in the two timelines in order to find a place where Planetary Engine can be installed.
Although the lunar surface is essentially just the outer shell of a lunar spacecraft, this outer shell has both soft and hard parts.
Although the Mutual Aid Society and the Moon Spacetime are still in talks, a lot of groundwork has already been laid in advance.
After assigning tasks to everyone, Chief Engineer Ji still had something extremely important to do.
That was a call with people at NASA.
Let's get that ZX-7 Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb.
Although he had already reported the matter, he still wanted to do his part.
However, because NASA strictly prohibits cooperation with domestic space agencies, there has never been much official interaction between the two sides.
Therefore, Chief Engineer Ji wants to quickly contact NASA, he will have to leverage his personal connections in North America.
After all, although official interactions are prohibited, it's still possible to get to know each other through private academic exchanges.
After scrolling through his contacts for a while, Chief Engineer Ji finally found a suitable person, called him, and asked him to contact someone at NASA—someone who could make decisions.
Although surprised, the person on the other end of the line still gave me a phone number. "This is Fowler's number. She's a rising star, and her position at NASA is second only to Administrator Hutchings."

"I understand, thank you!"
Without needing a friend's introduction, Chief Engineer Ji had a basic understanding of the personnel relationships within NASA, and he was familiar with Fowler's situation.
After expressing his gratitude and hanging up with his friend, Chief Engineer Ji immediately called Fowler on his personal phone.
The other end answered quickly.
"Hey?"
Chief Engineer Ji briefly explained his identity.
He then explained the purpose of his visit.
"You mean, you hope we can provide an electromagnetic pulse bomb codenamed ZX-7? And that it might play a significant role in this crisis on the moon?"
Fowler frowned, racking her brains to recall what she had heard of it, quite certain that she had never heard of it before.
"Director Fowler!" The staff member responsible for monitoring the moon raised his hand at this moment.
"I'm sorry, sir."
"I haven't heard of this bomb, but since it's crucial to this crisis, I'll inquire about it through internal channels later. You can leave your email address, and I'll keep you updated on the latest developments..."
Fowler quickly jotted down the email address left by Chief Engineer Ji, then went to the employee he had just met and listened to him explain the latest calculation results.
Simply put, the moon's orbit has deviated significantly.
It will get closer and closer to Earth until, three weeks later, the distance between Earth and the Moon reaches the Moon's Roche limit, and the Moon begins to disintegrate, with city-sized debris hurtling towards the Earth's surface from kilometers above...
To put it simply, the Earth, or rather humanity, will perish within about three weeks.
Upon hearing the news, Fowler felt for a moment that she could barely breathe, but she forced herself to remain calm.
Her time as an astronaut gave her ample experience in managing her emotions.
She immediately began making phone calls to inquire about the progress of various tasks, the most important of which was cooperation with the European Space Agency.
Only after confirming that the cooperation had been finalized did she call her boss, Director Hutchings, and ask him to come to the office on site.
There are some very important things I need to tell him.
The other side quickly indicated that they would arrive as soon as possible.
Is there anything else?
"Uh..." This reminded Fowler of Chief Engineer Ji Ji's matter, "Director, I..."
I'm wondering if we have anything in our country codenamed ZX-7, hmm... it seems to be an electromagnetic pulse bomb?
Hutchings paused for a moment, then instead of answering the question directly, asked, "Where did you get this information?"
"I just spoke with a person in charge of aerospace engineering. During the call, he mentioned and hoped that I could find that electromagnetic pulse bomb."
"..."
Another silence fell.
"Wait for me, I'll talk to you about this when I get there!"
Ten minutes later, Director Hutchings, who had rushed over in a fast car, hurried over in a suit.
As soon as he entered the office, he set his sights on Fowler.
"What on earth is going on?!" Xxs-2
How could the people on the other side know about that bomb? Even you shouldn't know about its existence!
"And now those people not only know our secrets, they even want you to find them? What exactly are they trying to do?!"
Hutchings was quite agitated, as if his tail had been stepped on.
Fowler belatedly realized that the ZX-7 was indeed a very important secret.
She said blankly, "They said that thing would help correct the moon's orbit..."
What the hell?
How could a bomb affect the moon's orbit?
Hutchings couldn't understand.
At this moment, the staff behind the two raised their hands. "Sir, I think there's something more urgent right now..."
"Is there anything more urgent than someone else finding out about our top-secret project?!"
Hutchings looked up and immediately launched into a tirade.
"Uh..." The staff member scratched his head, picked up his phone and showed it to Hutchings: "Yes, for example... now the whole world knows our top-secret information."
"Hmm?" Hutchings stared intently, and was startled to see a news headline on his phone screen:
The moon has deviated from its original orbit.
"Two minutes ago, it became a trending topic worldwide..."
"My God!"
Hutchings, clutching his forehead, angrily cursed, "I knew the other space agencies were unreliable!"
"This is absolutely terrible news!"
Fowler, arms crossed, said, "It gets worse."
"What?"
"The moon will disintegrate in the sky above the Earth in three weeks."
"..."
