Chapter 5 How can there be seven hundred and fourteen hours?
Zhou Zhezhi’s speech to the coalition government was inspiring.
The nuclear-armed countries, who feared extinction, finally decided to unite, put aside their differences and guard, and make a last-ditch effort for the future of mankind.
Everyone understands one thing.
If the broken femur in front of me doesn't heal immediately, it will never have a chance to heal again.
"The lunar fragments have formed an asteroid belt, the Navigator space station maintains a high orbit, and the nuclear weapons have been packaged, with a total number of 3,750."
On the space station, astronauts are busy deploying nuclear bombs.
There are three steps to saving the earth.
The first step is to use space to transport global nuclear weapons to the moon and deploy them in a phased array in the Campanus crater with a diameter of 46 kilometers.
The second step is to connect global nuclear weapons in series, use the space station as a relay satellite, and remotely detonate, triggering lunar nuclear fusion, causing the moon to collapse and disintegrate on its own.
The third step is to restart the root servers in Dulles, Tokyo, and Beijing, restore the global Internet, start the global planetary engine, and escape from the lunar debris.
These three steps are difficult to understand and even more difficult to implement.
Due to the explosion of the lunar engine, the moon was blown into pieces.
These fragments formed the asteroid belt near the moon.
Since there was no time to clean up, the astronauts had no choice but to forcefully pass through the asteroid belt.
As long as there is a slight scratch with the moon debris during the process, the machine will be destroyed and everyone will be destroyed.
But the personal death of an astronaut is only a small matter.
More importantly, detonating the moon requires a certain number of nuclear weapons.
If astronauts suffer too many casualties when crossing the asteroid belt and the number of nuclear weapons arriving on the moon does not meet the standard, then the plan to save the earth will be over from the first step.
And even if nuclear weapons are deployed, it is still unknown whether they can be detonated.
Because detonating a nuclear weapon requires a key.
There are a total of 3,752 nuclear bombs, and their keys come from dozens of countries and dozens of different cryptosystems, spanning 1945 to 2045.
Destroying the moon requires detonating them simultaneously.
To achieve simultaneous detonation, these keys must first be decoded and then replaced with the same key.
Conventional decoding takes at least ten years, and only half a day in human time.
Even with the help of the most advanced computer system 550w, no one can guarantee that this work can be completed in half a day.
The third step of restarting the root server is also full of difficulties.
Because the root server in Beijing is buried deep underwater, experts with weak constitutions have to dive underwater to restart the server, but no one knows what is going on underwater.
Everyone is forcing themselves on it.
They are also worried about failure, but they don't have time to think too much because this is a critical moment that determines the survival of mankind.
In times of crisis, there is only responsibility!
In the space station, Zhang Peng looked at Liu Peiqiang worriedly.
He knew that this mission was unusual and full of dangers. He was worried that Liu Peiqiang would never come back.
Liu Peiqiang grinned.
He pretended to be relaxed and poked his forehead, signaling Zhang Peng not to worry about him.
Zhang Peng smiled reluctantly.
"Enter bomb position."
Suddenly, a broadcast sounded above everyone's heads, "All bomb-laying personnel are ready to go."
Liu Peiqiang said goodbye to Zhang Peng and turned around to blend in with the crowd.
Liu Peiqiang sighed inwardly.
He didn't know that this mission was dangerous, but he had a reason to go.
Because only in this way can he securely obtain a permanent spot on the space station, allowing his family members—son Liu Qi and father-in-law Han Ziang to enter the underground city.
Duoduo, I will let Liu Qi and our father live.
He thought silently.
Half a minute later, he entered the landing module. As soon as he greeted his teammates, he received the takeoff order.
"Set off!"
The space station opened its hatch, and hundreds of landing modules drove out of the space station.
In the quiet space of the universe, everyone has forgotten life and death, and only has the word mission in their hearts.
"No. 11 exploded!"
"Be careful to avoid the debris brought by the shock wave!"
Liu Peiqiang's heart trembled.
Sound cannot be transmitted in space, and he cannot hear the sound of explosions. He can only learn of the sacrifice of his companions through reminders from the space station.
"ah!!!!"
An astronaut was thrown behind Liu Peiqiang's landing module. The landing module briefly connected to his radio, causing his screams to ring in the ears of everyone in the aircraft.
Someone whispered: "This kid is finished."
The astronaut was bounced by the wing of the landing module, and then hit an extremely irregular asteroid. His spacesuit was most likely damaged.
His fate is self-evident.
Liu Peiqiang ignored these and concentrated on controlling the landing module.
He knew that if he was negligent, the next person to scream would be him or his teammates.
He is very focused.
But he eventually fell.
He successfully arrived at the empty lunar surface, but a landing module in front of him malfunctioned and spun and hit the landing module where he was.
Fortunately, his driving skills were excellent and he successfully made an emergency landing on the lunar surface.
"Liu Peiqiang! What are you doing?"
Liu Peiqiang's teammates asked.
She was not questioning why the landing capsule fell, but she was preparing to continue the mission with Liu Peiqiang, but Liu Peiqiang locked the door of the return capsule from the outside while she was entering the return capsule to place the wounded.
"Five nuclear bombs only take two people."
Liu Peiqiang gasped and said.
"Then three seats."
"Can't sit down."
He raised his eyebrows and motioned for his teammate to look into the return cabin.
"go home."
"Your daughter is waiting for you at home."
Liu Peiqiang said.
After that, he turned and left.
"You have no tools!"
"How do you move a nuclear bomb?"
"Liu Peiqiang!"
His teammates desperately slapped the glass of the return capsule.
At this time, the return capsule's return program has been started, and Liu Peiqiang must come back, otherwise he will be dropped on the moon and annihilated in the moon's explosion!
But Liu Peiqiang remained unmoved.
"Come back here!"
Liu Peiqiang could hear the shouts on the radio.
He smiled but didn't look back.
Because someone has to complete the task.
...
At the same time, difficulties were encountered on the other side.
The team responsible for decoding nuclear weapons is making slow progress, and there is almost no possibility of completing the decoding work before the earth and moon reach the Roche limit.
"You know, it's really difficult.
"Just tell me!"
Zhou Zhe interrupted him impatiently.
It's already come to this, there's nothing else you can't say, there's no need to shirk responsibility and talk in circles.
"How much longer will it take?"
"The nuclear bombs on the moon have been deployed.
He took off his hat, rubbed it in his hand, and said frankly and uneasily: "It will take at least...seven hundred and fourteen hours."
Seven hundred and fourteen hours?
If decoding begins in 2044, seven hundred and fourteen hours will be nothing.
