As night fell, the large astronomical monitoring center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was brightly lit.
On the screen, a huge celestial body is being tracked in real time. It is entering from the edge of the solar system and approaching the earth with a heart-pounding breath.
"Track data uploaded!"
A researcher shouted excitedly and tapped the keyboard quickly with both hands. A red line appeared on the main screen behind him, which clearly showed that the comet was heading straight towards the earth at an extremely fast speed.
"Damn it..." An astronomer stood in front of the screen and couldn't help cursing under his breath.
He pushed up his glasses but couldn't take his eyes off the screen.
In the center of the screen, a huge comet is slowly rotating, with a long tail of ice and dust trailing behind it, like a giant beast swooping towards its prey.
"According to preliminary calculations, the comet has a diameter of about 60 kilometers, a very high density in its core, and a large amount of ice covering its surface."
"If it hits the Earth, the shock wave will directly destroy all cities along the southeastern coast of China!"
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became dead silent, and everyone held their breath.
"Where will it land?" the director of the Academy of Sciences asked in a deep voice.
"China's South China Sea region, exact time..."
A scientist looked up at the screen, his voice trembling slightly with fear.
"About 72 hours left."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room seemed to tremble.
72 hours, which means they only have three days to prevent this world-destroying disaster.
"The atmosphere... the atmosphere can't completely burn it!"
The elderly astrophysicist held onto the table, his hands shaking.
"It's so big that even if it burns off part of the ice, the energy released when the remaining core hits the ground would be enough to trigger a global climate disaster."
"If it crashes into the South China Sea,"
Another researcher's face turned pale.
"The tsunami will be at least 200 meters high and all life in coastal cities will be engulfed."
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
"What about the global emergency response? What about the United Nations' planetary defense plan?"
Someone tried to find a glimmer of hope, but all he got in response was silence.
When faced with a celestial body of this size, no existing technology can completely solve the problem.
Any brutal physical destruction will only create more debris and cause greater damage to the Earth.
The director of the Academy of Sciences stood in the center, his eyes stern.
"Contact national security and transmit data to Dr. Gu in real time."
He said in a deep voice,
"We must cooperate across time and space and try every possible solution!"
In the lobby, the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
Everyone knows that time is passing in seconds, and their choices will determine the fate of China and even the world.
Someone posted the news online and panic spread.
[Comet? Hitting the Earth? Isn't this something that only happens in science fiction movies? ]
[How many people will die? Where will the tsunami flood? ]
[Will the entire China be destroyed?! Where else can we go? ]
[Is there no way to stop it?! Didn’t scientists say they would protect the Earth?]
[Oh my god, what should we do...]
[Will the government save us? The country must have a way, right?]
[It doesn't matter where we go. If a comet hits us, everything will be over...]
Gu Man stood on the high platform of the Xuanwu base, looking up at the distant starry sky with a solemn expression.
News came that the comet was flying towards China at an unstoppable speed.
Every step closer this huge creature took seemed to bring a silent shudder to everyone's heart.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
As the "Son of the Planet", the planetary power in her body should have been the absolute key to solving this crisis - releasing the planetary power, using its gravity and power can directly resist or even change the orbit of the comet.
Gu Man raised her hand, a blue-white light emerged from her palm, and a familiar power surged within her body.
However, when she tried to gather the power of the planet, she felt an unprecedented emptiness.
That power... seemed to be restrained by invisible chains and could not be released at all.
Gu Man was stunned. The light in her palm quickly dimmed. She tried to call it back again, but still to no avail.
A thought quickly flashed through her mind - the power of the planet was sealed!
"How is it possible..." She murmured in a low voice, the light at her fingertips trembling slightly, "What's going on?"
Gu Man forced himself to calm down and began to recall every time he used the power of the planet.
Her brows suddenly wrinkled, and the golden planet appeared in her mind again.
The golden planet is the source of power controlled by the pseudo-people in the apocalypse, and it is also the existence that Gu Man and Song Lufeng once teamed up to severely damage.
That blow changed the future of the apocalypse, but it also apparently angered the will of the golden planet.
She suddenly realized that although that heavy blow repelled the impostor, it also planted hidden dangers for herself.
The power of the planet was used as the ultimate weapon and was exhausted in a short time. This golden planet seemed to be manipulating the laws of time and space in some way to limit her power.
"Fake..."
Gu Man clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and had anger in his eyes.
"They have realized the threat my power poses to them and have begun to fight back."
"Manman!" Song Lufeng's voice came from the phone.
His voice was more solemn than ever before:
"According to the latest calculations, the comet is moving faster than expected, and the impact time has been shortened to 48 hours. We don't have much time... yet."
The coldness between Gu Man's brows had not yet dissipated: "Lu Feng, my power has been sealed."
Song Lufeng on the other end of the phone paused and frowned deeply: "Seal?"
Casting his wandering gaze towards the distant horizon:
"It's the influence of the golden planet. It's limiting the power of my planet... The fake people are interfering in this space and time again."
"This is the work of impostors. They want to use this comet to drive us to destruction."
Song Lufeng was silent for a moment, his eyes turned cold: "If that's the case, then we must find a solution faster."
Gu Man raised his head, his eyes cold, "We can only rely on the combined power of the modern world and the end times, maybe we have a chance."
Song Lufeng nodded, "Leave it to me to figure out a solution... Don't worry."
"This time, let us help you!"
