I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 131 Moon Lost Control Speech

Tu Hengyu inputs the password and presses the OK button.

The 550A made a roaring sound as it could not bear the heavy load, and then sparks flashed, and it burned out due to overload.

But before it burned up, it also completed its historical mission. The moon-chasing engine lit up, and a huge roar came from the giant engine mouth, and the sound spread across the moon along the surface.

boom!

A light blue plasma beam with a diameter of more than ten kilometers suddenly shot out from the engine port, instantly cutting a groove hundreds of kilometers long on the surface of the moon.

The huge plasma jet can be clearly seen with the naked eye by humans on Earth, and a blue scratch has appeared on the surface of the moon.

"Ignition successful!"

"We made it!"

The researchers on the moon cheered.

The staff of the United Government on Earth also cheered enthusiastically. Then the footage of the successful ignition test of the Moon-by-Moon engine was immediately broadcast to thousands of households around the world, conveying this exciting news to the public.

"We made it!"

"Tu Hengyu, thanks for your suggestion!"

In the lunar rover, the team members responsible for the ignition test of the lunar engine patted their partners' shoulders excitedly, laughed and cheered. Tu Hengyu, who proposed to use 550A for emergency, was highly praised by his teammates.

However, Ma Zhao, who should have been the happiest, frowned and stared at the running Zhuyue engine.

"Something's wrong! Something happened!"

Everyone followed Ma Zhao's gaze and looked at the Zhuyue Engine, and then their expressions changed.

The Moon-Chasing Engine, which was supposed to shut down automatically after a dozen seconds of starting up, was still spewing out flames continuously.

Not only did the engine not stop, it increased its output power. The flame ejected from the engine mouth changed from light blue to white, and finally to light red, indicating that it had entered a full-power and even overloaded operating state.

"It's broken! The Moon-Chasing Engine has failed!"

"Report to the headquarters immediately!"

Ma Zhao and others immediately reported the situation to the command center, and the lunar command immediately reported the situation to the United Government on Earth.

As the engine was running, no one could get close enough to log into the console to operate it and could only try to shut it down remotely.

But as luck would have it, the remote control system had been damaged by a recent solar storm and had not yet been repaired, so there was no way to stop the lunar engine.

The people on the moon and on Earth could only watch as the planetary engine continued to run, praying anxiously in their hearts that it would run out of fuel and stop on its own.

【Don't explode! 】

What are you afraid of?

After running at full power for half an hour, accompanied by a deafening roar, a huge fireball suddenly burst out from the Zhuyue engine.

Boom!

A blazing fireball with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers rose into the sky, and the entire moon shook violently, as if a magnitude 6 earthquake had occurred.

When the three-dimensional jet stream disappeared, the Moon-Chasing Engine was also shattered into pieces under the mushroom cloud and exploded completely.

The lunar command center, located not far from the engine, also instantly lost contact with the Earth.

This scene was transmitted to the headquarters of the United Government through live broadcast cameras. Representatives from all parties who were paying attention to the ignition plan in the headquarters fell silent.

Those people who were observing the moon through telescopes saw a large, bright fireball suddenly appear on the moon and immediately realized that something big had happened.

The whole world is watching. The explosion of the Moon-Moon engine cannot be concealed.

"When it rains, it pours...Misfortunes never come singly."

Zhou Zhezhi frowned, looked worried, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The scientific research support team behind the Moving Mountains Project immediately took action to assess the impact of the Moon-by-Mountain Engine explosion on the Moving Mountains Project.

Then even worse news was fed back to the coalition government headquarters.

"What? The moon's orbit is shifting and it's heading towards the earth?!"

Suddenly, a serious crisis faced the coalition government's decision-makers.

After repeated verification, the team of scientists found that due to the failure of the lunar engine and the over-time operation, the lunar orbit was seriously shifted and the moon will collide with the earth in five days!

When the news came out, all of humanity was shocked, there was wailing around the world, and panic and despair spread rapidly.

"It's over! We're all finished!"

"I told you that the month-by-month plan is unreliable!"

"Screw the mountain-moving plan! I'm done with it!"

Demonstrations, protests, strikes, riots, all kinds of unrest broke out all over the world.

"Immediately mobilize the people for emergency evacuation!"

The United Nations government did not sit idly by and immediately followed the emergency plan, notifying people around the world to take shelter in nearby shelters.

Since the shelters supporting the Mountain Moving Plan had just begun construction, the people could only seek shelter in previously built air-raid shelters, tunnels and other places nearby. The shelters did not have any living supplies, and the people could only hope that the coalition government could resolve the crisis.

All astronomers and mechanical engineering scholars around the world were urgently recruited to study how to solve this sudden crisis of the moon falling.

Because of the wartime control implemented in the state of war, the decision-making efficiency of the coalition government was very high. On the day the crisis occurred, the relevant personnel were recruited and a feasible solution was proposed the next day.

In fact, it is the only way - that is to blow up the moon.

This is a plan proposed by Chinese scientists, which is to use enough nuclear weapons to detonate simultaneously in a phased array to trigger the moon's own fusion collapse and self-destruction.

Theoretically, it is enough to blow the moon into thousands of pieces. Although some fragments may still be as big as Mount Everest and cause casualties, at least it will not lead to the tragic consequence of human extinction like the moon directly hitting the earth.

The plan was proposed quickly, but encountered great resistance in its adoption.

If this plan is adopted, all countries in the world will need to contribute all their nuclear weapons, which has caused concerns in some countries. Some nuclear powers are worried that without nuclear weapons, their national strength will be greatly reduced, while some countries are worried that without nuclear deterrence, a world war will be more likely to break out.

In order to unite the divided humanity, Chinese representative Zhou Zhezhi delivered a special mobilization speech at the United Nations Government Conference.

"Dear delegates."

"This is a 15,000-year-old fossil. A human femur that was broken and then healed."

"It is a symbol of the birth of human civilization."

If there had not been unity and mutual assistance among human beings for 15,000 years, this femur would not have been healed. It is precisely because of this spirit of unity and mutual assistance that human civilization has gradually developed and has come to this day.

"Now, a broken femur is once again before humanity."

“Will we make the same choices as we did 15,000 years ago?”

Zhou Zhezhi's powerful voice echoed on the podium.

The speech of [Femur Spirit] deeply touched the representatives of various countries present. The truth is very simple and pure. In times of crisis, only when mankind puts aside all concerns and unites completely can there be a glimmer of hope.

Representatives from thirty-three countries raised their hands to vote, and the plan to use global nuclear weapons to blow up the moon was unanimously passed on the spot.

Relevant forces around the world took quick action.

【Drip! 】

【Emergency Recruitment! 】

Countless pilots, astronauts, experts, scholars, and veterans who were on vacation received urgent calls from the United Nations government to carry out a one-way, life-threatening mission.
