Chapter 1 (2/2)
A man in his fifties, with a face full of seriousness, asked depressingly, “How long till the asteroid enters the stratosphere? Also, any updates regarding the blast?”
A ferocious looking male clad in army uniform saluted the man and answered loudly, “30 seconds until the asteroid reaches the stratosphere, missile launch in 10 seconds, sir!”
Nodding his head heavily, the co, “How are the chances of the explosion breaking up the asteroid? Will it cause any losses to the general public?”
The captain replied unerringly, “Sir, after the explosion corated into countless pieces of debris Due to the friction caused by air resistance while they are falling from the stratosphere, they will heat up and eventually disappear…”
Nodding his head in satisfaction, the commander called out, “Squadrons 103, 114, 135 and 136, prepare for lift-off i asteroid debris that could cause any dae to the surface of the Earth Do not, I repeat, do NOT allow any reround!”
“Yes Sir!”
After saluting his commander, the captain turned around cleanly, and ran towards the control panel He then repeated the commander’s directions into the microphone
Simultaneously, an asteroid hundreds of kilometres in diameter continued its assault towards Earth fro the asteroid were nuns All of the the speed of light Upon closer inspection, one could see that the asteroid had been lined with tens of thousands of explosives On coe piece of rock will be blown up instantaneously, leaving behind small pieces of debris which will eventually be worn down by friction while falling to Earth
The huge asteroid continued its journey towards the surface of the Earth In a few seconds, it entered Earth’s at a sonic booravitational force acting on it becaer This led to the increase in velocity of the asteroid Due to the friction with air, the asteroid gradually turned into a gigantic ball of flames!
Concurrently, all of China’s population had their eyes glued to the sky Right beside the sun appeared a horrific fireball over one hundred tier than the sun!
“10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… FIRE!”
In unison with his shout, the commander pressed down violently on the button to fire up the explosives The red fireball started shi+ sounds never heard before traveled towards the general population, and caused the ground to shake just like a small earthquake!
In accordance to the calculations done by scientists, the explosives triggered at the same time, and the asteroid shattered into hundreds ofto burn up A moment later, the sky beca towards the Earth This was a breathtaking spectacle thatit
Inside the airbase, sirens started sounding frantically On the radar, a piece of rock e piece of rock was several kilo towards the Earth!
Even though the at down this piece of rock, one could tell that no round, and cause a huge calamity!
Numerous aircrafts shot towards the re missiles after missiles at it Eventually… this piece of rock was decimated under the combined efforts of all the pilots and disappeared!
Everybody heaved a sigh of relief However, outside of the radar’s range… a piece of silvery round Due to its nature, one would be hard pressed to see it with their naked eye
ζ
I leaned onthe spectacle in the sky It’s really too beautiful to be described ords The sky lit up like an apocalypse with thousands of coness This scene will be soet!
Suddenly, the sky flickered with silver I discovered, tothis, the space around me started to distort, and I lost consciousness!
