Chapter 157 Earth Cannon
After completing the leveling, support and reinforcement work inside the cave, a large number of pipes extended from the main structure of the cave and connected to the ground.
In this way, after the hydrogen bomb explodes, its energy has nowhere to vent, so it can only extend through these pipes and eventually act on the cone at the end of the pipe, launching them into the air like cannonballs, allowing them to rotate at an unprecedented speed in the intense friction with the air, and then releasing the gravitational waves that people need.
People gave this project a very vivid name, Earth Cannon.
The Earth Cannon uses the Earth as the barrel, hydrogen bombs as gunpowder, and cones as shells. It fires towards the deep space, towards the obstacles that stand in the way of human civilization, and towards the Moon God who lives in an unknown world!
On the vast land, every person who was still able to move, even those who could only pick and wash vegetables, all threw themselves into this final charge.
Liu Yu saw that people were dying every moment in this charge.
They originally hoped to live longer, but now, they concentrated their remaining vitality into a short period of time, which burst out like fireworks, brilliant for a moment, and then returned to silence.
Liu Yu saw countless people gathered together, gave up their disputes, gave up themselves, willingly integrated into the collective, obeyed the collective's mobilization, and engaged in even the most insignificant work.
This is a war, a war in which all people of civilization are participating.
Two years passed quickly.
During these two years, the total population of human civilization has dropped sharply again, from about 95 million to only about 50 million today.
Aging is partly to blame, but another, more important factor is…
The Earth Cannon project is too massive.
But no matter what, it is finally completed now.
More than 2,000 hydrogen bombs of varying yields have been deployed in more than 2,000 "cannon barrels" distributed across the earth.
Above the barrel, a total of 60 million cones have been laid at the end of 60 million channels.
As long as the button is pressed, these earth cannons will detonate one after another according to the preset program, and then launch these cones into the air as in previous actual tests.
Everything is ready.
World Government Building, main conference room.
More than 1,000 participants stood up.
They come from all over the world, including elderly scientists, officials, young people, model workers, and so on.
In addition to them, at this moment, a total of 30 million people around the world who are still conscious are all sitting in front of their TVs or computers, paying close attention to this place.
Everyone turned their eyes to the control console in front.
The button to activate the Earth Cannon is right there.
The first decision-maker at the time stood up tremblingly.
After looking around, he finally cast his old and turbid gaze on Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was wearing a black suit. Although she was already in her forties, she still had a slim figure, fair skin, and was intellectual and dignified.
"I propose that the task of activating the Earth Cannon be assigned to Ms. Liu Yu."
The elderly voice of the first decision-maker echoed in the conference hall, reaching everyone's ears: "Ms. Liu Yu not only provided great assistance to Mr. Zhou Cheng in his work, but after Mr. Zhou Cheng fell into a deep sleep, Ms. Liu Yu also proposed several key conjectures, laying the foundation for the implementation of the Earth Cannon Project.
Ms. Liu Yu, please."
There was warm applause in the hall.
Liu Yu slowly stood up and walked to the control console under the watchful eyes of everyone.
At this moment, Liu Yu seemed to see many things that did not belong here or at this moment.
She seemed to see Zhou Cheng diligently excavating alone at the Yangjiagou ruins, the construction team moving into Yangjiagou, the elderly busy working regardless of their health, the workers, farmers, scientists, and officials who collapsed at their workplaces one after another, and the countless elderly people who sacrificed their lives in the Earth Cannon Project...
Many figures flashed before her eyes.
The Earth Cannon Plan is about to be triggered.
But... can this plan, which carries the hopes of millions of people and has cost countless lives, really succeed?
Liu Yu didn't know.
Liu Yu only knew that his "mentor" had made a very certain prediction.
It will never be possible for a savior to be born in the human world again.
Otherwise, the Moon God would never allow the Ascending Dimension Sect to perish like this.
So……
Liu Yu opened the button cover and pressed it hard.
At this moment, she felt her mind was in a trance for a moment.
She seemed to hear some sound coming from nowhere.
Why!
We can't be wrong! There's absolutely no chance of another savior appearing in the human world! Absolutely impossible! This is determined by the basic laws of physics. There can't be another savior in the human world!
Why can you defy the laws of physics and become the savior? Why did you appear? Why are you here?!
Why! Why!
Please, stop, stop!
We just wanna live! We just wanna live!
Because of your human choices, our civilization has had to migrate throughout a long period of time. We have been displaced and live from day to day. We have despaired countless times and fallen into sadness, pain and confusion countless times, but we have never given up. We have stood up again and again in the face of huge blows. Finally, we have found a way to end all these "natural disasters."
We will have the hope of settling on a fertile continent, free from displacement, pain and despair, and passing on our civilization.
We just want to survive, we just want to survive!
Please, stop, we just want to live, what have we done wrong!
You executioner! You are wiping out an entire civilization!
Stop! Stop!
We just want to live!
The sounds were chaotic, overlapping, and seemed to be subject to some kind of massive interference. But strangely, I could understand their meaning.
She didn't know if it was all an illusion or if she really heard something, she just ignored it.
Everything that needs to be done has been done, and once this step is taken, there is no turning back.
Even if Liu Yu wanted to stop, he couldn't.
She smiled and shook her head, not responding to the voice, which she didn't know whether it was an auditory hallucination or something else.
At this moment, she felt the ground beneath her feet tremble slightly.
In the invisible distance, in that huge cave, a fireball that was extremely bright and hot suddenly erupted.
The huge shock wave suddenly hit the hard and thick rock wall.
