Just as the command center was thinking about how to solve the problem of the spacecraft, Lorne arrived at the city center to buy seeds of vegetables and fruits.
There was hardly anyone on the street. All the shops were closed.
The few people on the streets were moving in a hurry. They were preparing to enter the shelter and wait for the disaster.
Lorne searched for a long time.
Finally, at the end of the street, he saw a seed shop still open.
When he saw that the shop owner was packing up and preparing to leave, he quickly walked forward.
"Boss, do you still have seeds here?"
Hearing someone call him, the boss was shocked. He scratched his head and realized that it was a customer.
"Yes, there are."
Seeds were the final failsafe in a disaster.
When the Federation knew that a disaster was coming, they released a lot of seeds just so that everyone would have a chance to help themselves.
The shop owner quickly brought over a large bag of seeds.
"Boss, how much is this?" Lorne was pleasantly surprised to see the owner take out all kinds of seeds and put them into a big bag.
"Forget it, I won't charge you. These seeds are the last remaining stock in the shop, so I'll give them all to you."
"I hope these seeds can help you during the apocalypse. I have to pack my things and go to the shelter." The boss waved his hand at Lorne and said nonchalantly.
With regards to this, Lorne was not overly pretentious.
After walking out, he headed straight for his shelter.
With the impending disaster, it was as if everything before was no longer as important. Only life was most precious.
In space.
"Headquarters, this is Spacecraft No. 1. A large amount of space debris has been found around the asteroid."
The pilot of the spacecraft reported everything to the Earth's command center.
"Spacecraft No. 3 will use the spare nuclear bombs to blow up the space debris surrounding the asteroid to ensure that the spacecraft can successfully carry out the operation."
After the headquarters received the notification from Spacecraft No.1, they gave a solution.
"Roger that."
Spacecraft No. 3 quickly received instructions from headquarters, and then began to launch the spare nuclear bombs on it.
The nuclear bombs soon blossomed in space.
As the nuclear bomb exploded, the space debris surrounding the asteroid was quickly blown away.
The other two spacecraft rushed towards the asteroid.
Spacecraft No. 1 successfully landed first and began installing thrusters.
Things were going well, and the thrusters were installed.
Then, the next task was for Spacecraft No. 2 to install the nuclear bombs from a different angle.
If Spacecraft No.1 was unable to push the asteroid away, then the headquarters would detonate the nuclear bombs and blow the asteroid to pieces. Then, the nuclear bombs on the ground would launch a destructive strike to reduce the danger brought by the asteroid fragments.
The thrusters began to move, and the tail began to spout violent flames.
On the large screen at the headquarters, the orbit of the asteroid that was supposed to fly towards Earth was slowly deviating.
Just when everyone in the command center thought that they would be able to complete the mission perfectly with only Plan A and survive this disaster…
The asteroid on the big screen slowly returned to its orbit.
"What the hell happened?" The highest commandant in the headquarters shouted at the scientists who had designed the thrusters.
"The environment in space is too complicated. With our current technology, we can't guarantee that we can successfully operate the thrusters in the universe."
"The current situation seems to be because the propulsion force is not enough to push this asteroid away, and this asteroid is constantly being pulled by the gravitational pull of Earth, so it slowly returned to its orbit," the research team leader explained to the commander-in-chief.
"Implement Plan B immediately and blow up the asteroid."
The commander-in-chief nodded. He understood the current situation as well. This was not the time to argue about their technology research.
The commander-in-chief, who had experienced a lot, immediately activated Plan B.
"Roger." The people controlling the nuclear bombs' activation quickly activated the nuclear bombs installed on the asteroid.
With the activation of the technicians, the asteroid in space quickly emitted a dazzling light.
"It exploded."
Through the images on the road side screen, Lorne quickly saw the huge asteroid turn into three smaller ones.
The successful implementation of Plan B gave everyone in the command center confidence. They were also cheering.
The failure of Plan A had made them despair. Fortunately, they finally succeeded.
"It's not time to celebrate yet."
The commander-in-chief said with a calm expression. Even though he also was extremely excited in his heart, he knew that the danger was not over yet.
It was just that the danger of Earth being destroyed had now become the danger of several parts of Earth being pierced through.
This danger was still catastrophic for humans.
Meanwhile, the people in the command center regained their composure after hearing the commander-in-chief's words. That's right, the danger was not over yet.
The technicians responsible for monitoring the asteroid became even more vigilant. They increased their surveillance on the asteroid to ensure that Plan C could perfectly shatter the asteroid into pieces.
"Use all the nuclear bombs we can currently use to ensure that these three asteroid fragments are blown to pieces," the commander-in-chief said loudly to everyone in the command center. Success or failure depended on this.
The technician responsible for launching the nuclear bombs was also very nervous. The life and death of Earth depended on this button.
"Fire."
Following the commander-in-chief's command, the technician pressed the button.
From the broadcast, it could be seen that the nuclear bombs in every country had begun to rise into the air under the rocket's propulsion.
"So many nuclear bombs should be enough to blast these asteroids into smithereens," thought everyone in the command center as they watched the asteroids rise into the sky.
