Chapter 192 It’s Coming
Ark base.
In the cafeteria, Wang Long brought some food that was not very exquisite but tasted pretty good and sat down at the table.
During this process, people kept saying hello to him, and he also kept saying hello to people.
Soothing music is playing in the cafeteria, and people are passing by with smiles on their faces. The people sitting at the dining table did not just focus on eating, but talked to each other and burst into laughter.
This makes the atmosphere here full of relaxed and cheerful flavor.
Wang Long felt that at this moment, he was qualified to enjoy this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
After all, it has been a busy day during the day.
During this period of time, these people from our own side have been continuously conducting comprehensive inspections of various modules of the Ark base. For example, I conducted a thorough and in-depth inspection of the geothermal power generation module, heat exchange module, reserve wind power generation, gravity energy storage power station, etc., eliminated up to 17 hidden dangers, and comprehensively improved the stability of the energy power supply system.
Isn’t it time to relax a little after a busy day?
But he didn't enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.
His concentration increased. He is observing everyone in the cafeteria, observing any circle, and uses this to decide his next move.
Did he pretend to go to pick up food, then pass by Li Yutian accidentally, then pat him on the shoulder and chat for a few words? Or should he pretend to ask questions and then go directly to Lu Wenxue’s dining table?
His brain was working rapidly.
As the end is approaching, I must be more active, so that more people have a good impression of me, and let more people think that I am a person who can come up with ideas, act decisively and decisively, and have a clear judgment on any situation.
Only in this way can you obtain greater benefits in the end.
For this reason, public social occasions such as cafeterias must not be given up.
After finishing the meal, Wang Long felt that he was even more tired than during the busy day. But the rewards are also full. Not only did Lu Wenxu regard himself as a friend - which can be seen from some small actions, but also made him regard himself as a superior in a certain sense - he already recognized himself in some aspects. Not as good as yourself, and start to sincerely ask yourself for advice.
This is a good sign.
After dinner, there was another extremely important battlefield in the rest hall.
Here, people after a busy day can chat, watch TV series, movies, play chess, ball, etc.
This took Wang Long two hours. Afterwards, Wang Long dragged his tired body and excited spirit back to his room.
Finally I can truly and completely relax.
After lying down for a while, he got up again and sat in front of the computer.
It is also a necessary task to take a look at the information from the outside world every day.
I was casually browsing the news, and suddenly, a notification popped up.
"Emergency! The super heavy rain in Luoxi City has lasted for more than three hours, and the total precipitation has exceeded the largest rainfall in meteorological records!"
Wang Long was stunned for a moment, then clicked on the news.
He saw the submerged city, saw the streets turned into rivers, saw people calling for help on the rooftops, and saw rescue workers driving assault boats.
Super heavy rain, super heavy rain...
The prophecy of the Son of God was fulfilled once again.
He grabbed his cell phone - it was a custom cell phone delivered to everyone in the Ark base. It can only be connected to the local area network of Ark Base and can only be used within Ark Base. Then I opened the customized instant messaging APP inside Ark Base, called Ark Communication, opened the group chat, and sent the message.
"Heavy rainstorm in Luoxi City! The prophecy of the Son of God has come true again!"
Following this news, the group chat that had been slightly silent immediately became lively again.
The prophecy of the Son of God cannot be questioned. This is political correctness within the Ark Base. Therefore, no one dared to show any doubts about this prophecy during the conversation.
The facts have not settled, and there will always be a murmur in my heart.
But now, with the news coming out, the little doubt and uncertainty disappeared in an instant.
People's hearts were united again at this moment.
"This should be the purpose of the Son of God's prophecy."
He continued to browse the news and saw more real-life footage.
Looking at the people struggling in the disaster, Wang Long suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It was as if, at this moment, he had become a god separated from the real world. No suffering of mortals could affect him, and he could examine everything with a superior gaze.
Under such circumstances, he felt compassion for these suffering mortals.
"Poor mortals."
He shook his head and sighed: "Stop struggling. There is no difference between dying here and dying in a disaster of annihilation."
The group chat on the mobile phone was also filled with voices of pity. Some women even shed tears.
…
Jingle bell bell bell…
Lu Ming was awakened by the rapid ringing of his cell phone. I looked at the time and saw that it was only five o'clock in the morning.
The call was from Lu Qingliang.
"Go to the video conference room immediately."
"good."
Not caring about washing his face, Lu Ming immediately turned on the computer and logged into the video conference room.
Although he was at home, he was not worried about being disturbed by other people, nor was he worried about leaks.
Because his room is specially designed. Once the door is closed, it cannot be opened from the outside unless special means are used. And the interior sound insulation is excellent.
After logging into the conference room, he saw that all three people except himself had arrived.
"I just received news of a super heavy rain in Luoxi City. The rainfall in three hours has exceeded the rainfall of the largest rainstorm in the history of meteorological records. The rain is still continuing."
Regardless of worrying about the people in the disaster area - disaster relief is not his own task. Others are responsible for this, and it is not his turn to worry. Lu Ming immediately realized that this was another time that met all the conditions and could be used to make a prophecy. event.
Although we speculate that the last earthquake event may be the last "cutoff prophecy", it is only speculation after all. It is entirely possible for the doomsday organization to rely on this super heavy rain to make another prediction.
"There are still...ten days until the end."
The predicted asteroid still hasn't appeared.
The people from the Doomsday Organization have not been caught yet.
"Let's check it out. Anyway, I have nothing to do now. Maybe I can find some clues, which might be useful."
He Wei expressed her opinion.
"Then check it out."
Zhang Dingshan made a decision: "I think it is very likely that this time it will be for all disciplines, not just for meteorology, urban drainage, flood control and disaster relief. We have limited manpower and cannot transfer the people on the list If we monitor them all, then we should still follow the last strategy and only monitor key personnel."
During the last earthquake incident, before our side could do this, Lu Qingliang confirmed that people were missing and did not proceed.
"Act quickly. Qing Liang, compile the list immediately. I, He Wei, and Lu Ming, the three of us immediately rushed to different places to take command. The allocation of relevant personnel must be completed within five hours."
"yes."
"yes."
After issuing a series of commands, Lu Ming closed the computer, washed himself briefly, and walked out of the room.
It's still early morning. My parents and sister were still sleeping and didn't get up.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming did not wake them up, but left a message in the family group and left directly.
Within a few hours, Lu Ming arrived at the command center in another city. The psychologist team, computer modeling team, special situation tracking personnel, etc. have all been deployed.
According to the assigned personnel list, monitoring begins immediately.
The same is true for He Wei and Zhang Dingshan. As a result, a total of more than 400 key personnel, those most likely to be absorbed by the doomsday organization, were all put under surveillance.
The first regular meeting after the operation began was held the day after comprehensive surveillance was launched.
At this moment, these people have been monitored for about 40 hours.
"I didn't find anything here."
Lu Ming spoke first: "The number of warnings from the psychological model is only 1.6 times per person per day on average, which is completely in line with the standards of ordinary people."
"It's the same here. The average is 1.8 times per person per day, which is also consistent."
"I am here too."
All three got the same result.
Lu Qingliang said: "I have assigned personnel to conduct primary monitoring of the remaining persons on the list. The result is that, as of now, no one has died or is missing."
It seems that the super heavy rain event in Luoxi City did not have any impact on these people.
"Try another day of monitoring tomorrow."
Monitoring the next day still found nothing. Same thing on the third day.
Lu Ming sighed silently: "It seems that the doomsday organization has indeed not made any small moves in response to this super heavy rain event. The last earthquake event was indeed a 'cut-off prophecy'."
Previously this was just speculation. But now, it is almost certain.
Zhang Dingshan said: "The surveillance personnel should be withdrawn."
"yes."
The current situation can already prove that the doomsday organization has indeed completed the task of recruiting personnel. Now, they have completely shrunk down, cut off all contact with the outside world, and are only waiting for the end of the world to come, without making any other moves.
Then, it will be even less possible for our side to find any flaws or loopholes in them.
This road is completely blocked.
Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Qingliang: "The asteroid early warning center hasn't discovered it yet?"
Now, there are only about five days left, a total of about 134 hours, before the doomsday prophecy, which is 10:17 a.m. on November 19th.
In such a short time, if the asteroid was really going to hit the Earth, it would have been observed anyway.
But Lu Qingliang still shook his head: "No. They have been searching for any asteroids that may be close to the earth, but they still haven't found them."
Zhang Dingshan frowned slightly.
This is really unreasonable.
Of course, it would be best if this predicted asteroid never appeared, and Zhang Dingshan was not looking forward to its appearance. He just felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, his cell phone rang. He grabbed the phone and after listening to a few words, his expression immediately became serious.
After a moment, he slowly put down the phone.
"That asteroid...appeared."
"What?!"
He Wei, Lu Ming, and Lu Qingliang were all shocked. Among them, He Wei even stood up directly by pressing the table.
Really appeared?
Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "Li Chu just informed me that ten minutes ago, the Yuanwang-7 survey telescope discovered an unknown asteroid at a distance of 26.52° from the ecliptic plane and about 150 million kilometers away from the earth. The speed of the asteroid Extremely high, but they have not yet determined the specific speed, mass, and probability of collision with the Earth, and are currently conducting further observations.
It is not certain that this asteroid is the predicted one, but it is the most likely. "
Silence fell in the video conference room.
At this stage, without further observational data, it is impossible to make further analysis.
But this shouldn't be a cause for concern.
Once the key suspected target appears, all the deep space observation forces possessed by mankind will move the observation window in the shortest possible time and aim at the asteroid.
Its details will appear soon.
After about an hour of waiting, further details finally emerged.
"This asteroid is about 3.2 kilometers at its longest point and 1.1 kilometers at its widest point. The total mass is estimated to be about 55.9 billion tons. But its speed relative to the Earth is as high as about 331 kilometers per second. According to According to its current orbit calculation, the probability of it colliding with the Earth in the future has now climbed to 1%."
A collision probability of 1% is quite high. This at least means that at some point in the future, it will be extremely close to the Earth.
You know, in the past, collision probabilities lower than this have attracted people's attention.
"Such a high speed..."
Lu Ming was silent.
It has such a high speed at such a distance from the sun, which further proves that it must not come from the inner solar system.
He Wei solemnly said: "It is about 150 million kilometers away from us at the moment, and its speed is about 331 kilometers per second. Using this simple calculation, the time it will reach the closest point to the earth will be about 126 hours later. Now ...There are still about 134 hours before the predicted doomsday. With an error of up to eight hours, I think this asteroid is not the predicted one."
Lu Ming shook his head bitterly.
"No, He Wei, you are wrong. Although this asteroid is 150 million kilometers away from us, its motion path is about 160 million kilometers. Because its forward trajectory is not a straight line. And our earth is also Always in motion.”
