Chapter 493 Pushing Away from the Moon! Currently, Chinese astronauts are working with the Mutual Aid Society headquarters and other parallel-space related organizations to handle this lunar deorbiting crisis. Of the 100 Planetary Engine previously planned for relocation, 85 have been relocated as of the time of this press release...
"Just now, the other side admitted that the strange structures and black spots appearing on the moon are because they are working with the Mutual Aid Society to carry out a plan to move the moon. We will monitor the feasibility of this plan together with you."
" The Moon Push-Away Project has officially begun deployment, and the lunar crisis is expected to be resolved!"
"The world will not be destroyed, we are still in action!"
"Just look up, and you'll see the huge dark spot on the moon. If you have a telescope that can see the lunar surface, you might even see some enormous, magnificent structures appearing out of thin air..."
"All nations are working together to save the moon, and all illegal and criminal activities will be severely punished!"
In other words, sound cannot travel through a vacuum; otherwise, the noise on Earth would probably reach President Zhang's ears.
When the first Planetary Engine appeared, the anomalies on the moon had already attracted widespread attention. As the area covered by the Spacetime Tunnel expanded, the number of people paying attention to this matter surged even further.
And most importantly, it's not difficult to get a telescope that can roughly see the lunar surface.
Many people look at the moon with telescopes and can almost immediately see what's happening there. Some even go so far as to broadcast live on various platforms, showing the public what's happening on the moon and telling everyone that there is still hope for Earth.
Although ordinary civilian-grade astronomical telescopes can only see lunar maria and craters on the moon, that is still no match for the sheer size of the Planetary Engine.
Moreover, the Earth-Moon distance is constantly decreasing, allowing telescopes to see more clearly than ever before.
Moreover, these Planetary Engine are arranged in a dense array, one after another. From Earth, they appear as a continuous black dot, with the massive exhaust nozzles of the Planetary Engine forming a vast expanse of black.
Since the riots began, Houseman had been staying at home, only going out to see his mother during the day. He was now watching the live stream online.
He watched every live stream focusing on the lunar surface, and every time he saw the blurry structures of the Planetary Engine on the moon, he would let out a pig-like scream of excitement.
"Incredible! Incredible, this is absolutely incredible!"
Houseman stamped his feet incessantly, his hands flying across the keyboard. "These amazing technologies from parallel universes prove that humanity's technological capabilities are fully capable of causing planetary-level impacts. Perhaps this is the precursor technology for creating artificial planets!"
"To build a spaceship like the Moon, you need an equally powerful engine; Planetary Engine have already touched upon that technological realm!"
Once he got excited, Houseman didn't care whether others understood him or not. He poured out his views in the comments section of the live stream and then immediately opened other social media platforms.
"In the next hour, I'm going to post another two hundred messages! The theory that the moon is artificial is correct, and someone will definitely see my point of view!"
at the same time.
President Zhang is still eating dust on the moon.
After a full day of his work, all one hundred Planetary Engine have now been transported to the Moon Spacetime, and all engines have been tested and are functioning perfectly.
The next step is to start all the engines and begin pushing the moon away from Earth.
Zhang Tianyuan took some time to return to Earth and personally inform Ding Hongbo of the news, while also learning about the situation on Earth.
Because the Earth-Moon distance is now quite close.
Looking at the sky from Earth, the moon is now far larger than a round basin.
It looks like a skyscraper hundreds of meters tall, hanging high in the sky, yet it seems so close at hand.
At this moment, the moon is like a giant rock, seemingly poised to crash down at any moment, evoking endless oppression and fear.
Ninety-nine percent of people on Earth have never seen anything like this in their lifetime.
This is why most parts of the world are in turmoil—everyone feels that this is truly the end of the world.
In recent days, the tidal changes caused by the moon have also been fluctuating dramatically. Although no particularly serious disasters have been caused yet, people have been dying as a result.
Compared to other countries, the situation in China is relatively stable. Although there have been frequent disasters and minor disturbances, they are all within an acceptable range and have not caused any serious consequences.
In contrast, a wave of looting has spread across Europe and North America. Under the pressure of the apocalypse, many people have stormed into stores and looted all kinds of goods. Some even went so far as to raid bookstores!
In many countries, even banknotes have become worthless.
The world seemed to have been split into two layers: one side maintained order, while the other had fallen into an abyss of chaos.
Sometimes, some countries and cities can even have both of these states simultaneously.
Even the Mutual Aid Society n't help in this chaotic situation; the only solution was to resolve the crisis caused by the moon.
Zhang Tianyuan thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's officially execute the plan and start the Planetary Engine's injection program tomorrow?"
Ding Hongbo nodded.
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. If it can officially begin tomorrow, that would be ideal."
"In addition, NASA on the other side has just reached a cooperation agreement with us and sent their astronauts over, as have the European Space Agency and the Russian Space Agency; they all want to participate in this lunar mission."
Zhang Tianyuan opened the cooperation agreement that Ding Hongbo had taken out, glanced at the terms briefly, and then lost interest.
"It's not a big deal, but involving them in the Planetary Engine project would only get them in the way. Once the Planetary Engine is activated and successfully pushes the moon away, we can arrange for them to go up and test it."
" The Moon Push-Away Project has entered the execution phase and is expected to officially begin at midnight tomorrow. At that time, the Planetary Engine on the lunar surface will eject a large amount of plasma. This is to inform you."
NASA
Fowler held a document in her hand, and after reading its contents word by word, her gaze turned to Hutchings:
"Chief, this is the notification we just received."
"Pass it on to Mr. Fox."
"Furthermore, we must hold a press conference immediately to inform the public of this news. We must instill sufficient confidence in everyone at this crucial time!"
After finishing his speech, Director Hutchings straightened his collar and patted some water on his face to make himself look more presentable.
He is now definitely one of the people who most hope the Moon Push-Away Project will succeed.
Because if this plan succeeds, he won't have to deal with this mess anymore!
Damn it, look at the aliens on the moon now, and then look at the moon hurtling towards Earth. Hutchings felt that neither of them was something he could handle.
This feeling of being carried along by someone is quite nice.
Of course, it would be even better if I could take credit for it as well.
Half an hour later, the impromptu press conference officially began.
"We are deeply involved in this program, and to date, we have sent more than forty astronauts to it, which is the total number of all our current active astronauts..."
"Director Hutchings, could you please describe the roles those astronauts played in the program?"
"I clearly heard that those astronauts were temporarily assigned, including three who had just come down from the moon landing rocket."
"Those three people even complained on social media that you guys subjected them to passive-aggressive behavior during the rocket launch preparation process, which terrified them!"
"This is inhumane!"
"..."
Hutchings ' smile froze slightly.
Although NASA's press conference was not very successful, the activation of the lunar engine was still widely publicized by countries around the world to stabilize the situation.
Given the current state of unrest, regardless of whether it's effective or not, the most important thing is to stabilize public sentiment, give people hope, and restore society to normal operation as much as possible.
At least don't treat robbery as your biggest pastime!
As it turns out, this publicity campaign was effective.
After hearing that the moon was to be pushed back into its original orbit, many people calmed down considerably, and social order was restored within just a few hours.
Even the robbers decided to observe the situation first before deciding whether to continue the robbery.
Various television stations also connected with major observatories, pointing their cameras at the moon in the sky.
Amidst global attention, Zhang Tianyuan returned to the moon.
The large team of experts sent by the Wandering Spacetime has inspected all the Planetary Engine and found no serious problems; all engines have met the standard for continuous operation.
In addition, the Swarm has really learned its lesson.
During this period, it never came out of the moon's interior, presumably for the reason that everyone had previously speculated: it was stunned by the high-temperature plasma and realized that there were still weapons outside that could threaten it, so it proactively changed its mode of operation.
In response, President Zhang stated that he had finally seen the only intelligent aspect in this artificially disabled weapon...
In the rare tranquility, the astronauts and experts on the moon went to their respective posts, gazing at the Earth on the horizon, silently waiting for the launch time to arrive.
Zhang Tianyuan also entered a Planetary Engine and watched as the countdown began:
"10, 9, 8...3, 2, 1--"
"Start up!"
boom!
In an instant, a tremendous roar erupted from the surface of the moon. Even without air, everyone could feel the deafening sound through contact with the lunar surface.
The Planetary Engine was vibrating constantly inside.
This time, a full one hundred Planetary Engine were started at the same time, making a much greater impact than the previous tests where they were launched one by one. In the blink of an eye, the dust kicked up covered an area of nearly one million square kilometers!
It even climbed all the way up to the height of the nozzle, enveloping the entire Planetary Engine, before being instantly dispersed by the engine's second round of jets!
The earth trembled, and the pitch-black sky was torn apart, shattering into pieces of dreamlike blue, as if an unprecedented volcano had erupted on the moon!
From Earth, the moon appears to be tinged with a dreamy blue, as the massive amounts of plasma ejected from the Planetary Engine dissipate and accumulate in the vacuum, making the vivid blue color incredibly striking.
Ding Hongbo and the others stood by the window, staring intently at the huge moon in the sky, as if they could see it spraying out a dreamy blue trail.
Fox was watching the live broadcast from the telescope, wanting to light a cigar, but almost burned his own finger.
Can this operation really save our planet?
Fowler was initially captivated by the moon's dreamy blue hue, but she quickly realized a more crucial issue and immediately ordered her subordinates to monitor the moon's orbit.
At the same time, other space agencies around the world were doing the same thing, all wanting to know if the moon's orbit was really starting to move away from Earth.
Even among the experts who Wandering Spacetime, some were still in charge of this task.
Even they wanted to know if it was really feasible to propel the moon with Planetary Engine.
This will not only accumulate experience for the implementation of the Wandering Earth: Wandering Spacetime and Moon Expulsion Project, but more importantly, it will verify the feasibility of the Wandering Earth Project.
If a hundred Planetary Engine can push the moon away, then pushing the Earth away with ten thousand Planetary Engine shouldn't be a problem, right?
Amidst the tension, the measurement results were quickly obtained.
"The moon... the moon's orbit is starting to move away!"
Upon hearing the result, Fowler froze on the spot, speechless for a long time, even forgetting to breathe. It wasn't until quite a while later that he began to gasp for air.
domestic.
Chief Engineer Ji also received the same news.
"Announce this news immediately!"
After giving the order, he plopped down on the chair next to him, feeling his hands and feet go numb from being so tense.
Other space agencies also received the news at this time, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Earth was saved. Offices were filled with people crying and shouting excitedly.
Soon, countries around the world eagerly released this news.
The revelry quickly spread to the general public, and people on the streets began to celebrate spontaneously, celebrating the salvation of the moon... or rather, celebrating their own salvation.
However, Zhang Tianyuan was not yet at ease.
Because he had just received news from the expert group:
"Based on the current lunar orbit, the risk of a collision between the Earth and the Moon has not been completely eliminated. It is estimated that after another day of continuous advancement, we can postpone the collision date by another month..."
