After hanging up the phone, He Lin sat in the back seat, leaning his head against the car window and looking towards the sky.
Because of the minimal pollution here, the sky was bright and filled with countless twinkling stars. The scene was incredibly beautiful.
But he had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery; he had something far more urgent to do.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately picked up his phone and sent a message in his colleagues' work group.
"Return to the office within five hours! No excuses allowed."
After sending the message, he put his phone down.
They were almost at their home. He rubbed his temples and said to his wife, who was driving.
"I have to go to the company in a bit, so you and your daughter stay here and take care of yourselves. I'll come pick you up when I'm done with my work."
The wife nodded gently, knowing that something very serious had definitely happened this time.
However, he had already gotten used to this kind of life, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded slightly and then told the person to be careful.
As dawn broke, in the office of the Astronomical Research Center in the central continent.
The group has already found dozens of photos of Pluto, with clear markings on them, and has prepared everything including Pluto's orbit.
Below are various analyses of Pluto's orbit and motion data analyzed by supercomputers.
The people present today are all very important figures, which made He Lin feel a lot of pressure.
Now almost everyone is focused on this disaster crisis.
Today's meeting proceeded as scheduled, and everyone present had a very serious expression.
This crisis was enormous for them, and He Lin has attracted a lot of attention.
When the senior leader on the stage pointed at He Lin, he quickly straightened his clothes, stood up, and waved to the crowd.
Here he was merely an assistant to the lowest-ranking researcher.
It was purely accidental that he discovered this crisis, but his contribution was definitely significant.
When he discovered it, he simply recounted how he had discovered the crisis along the way.
Everyone was deeply moved, realizing that if he hadn't met the little girl Qiqi, this disaster might have been missed.
Everyone began to reflect on how inadequate their work had been.
If it weren't for Qiqi, if it weren't for He Lin, then if this disaster really happened, they might not even have had time to prepare.
At that moment, hurried footsteps came from the office next door.
Another experimenter was sitting in the waiting area, waiting.
Hearing footsteps, he quickly looked up and saw a lab technician with a somewhat flustered expression coming out. He hurried over to him.
"What are the test results? Has the computer calculated them yet?"
The other person held a piece of paper in their hand and nodded vigorously.
"The test results are in. If we don't take control of that thing, it probably won't be long before it hits Earth! Based on our current analysis of its various speeds, it's highly likely to happen within six months to two years!"
Upon hearing this, the other person's face immediately showed a look of fear.
"Damn it, how could it be so fast? Why didn't we notice it before?"
The experimenter gently shook his head.
"We're short-handed. The main problem is that we've focused most of our energy and resources on research in other departments, and our exploration base on Mars is a very demanding project! We simply don't have the capacity to handle these things on the ground!"
The other person also sighed, and then the two of them walked towards the conference room.
When the two presented their experimental report, the room erupted in uproar.
The more than one hundred people in the conference center began to whisper among themselves, making the room very noisy.
It was almost impossible for the professor in charge to continue hosting the event.
After a long while, the crowd below finally quieted down.
However, everyone's face was filled with a solemn expression.
"Professor Zhu, we have to think of something! If it really is six months, I'm afraid we don't have any more time to think about it now!"
"Yes, Professor, we need to think of a way. We must resolve this problem as soon as possible. If Pluto were to collide with Earth, both planets would probably cease to exist!"
"That's right! And if it's affected, the entire solar system will be impacted, even Mars will be affected!"
Professor Zhu, standing on the stage, gently waved his hand.
“I know everything you’re saying! We still need to inform the military about this, since it involves the safety of the entire planet, and we can’t keep making decisions on our own.”
After listening, the crowd nodded in agreement, but some also offered their own ideas and strategies for dealing with the situation.
Basically, there are two factions. The first faction chooses to move the Earth to avoid Pluto and avert disaster.
The second method is to destroy Pluto or send warships directly into the vicinity of Pluto and then use various super-powered weapons to destroy the fire extinguishers.
Or we could simply shift it to a different location, since it would be more complicated to deal with a planet that is huge in size but has a small mass.
Between the two methods, it seems that making the Earth move is a little easier.
After all, they already have their own place on Earth, and they don't need to fly there.
Detonating Pluto would be extremely difficult, requiring a huge amount of manpower, resources, and financial investment.
Moreover, the chances of success are very small, so most people prefer the second method: to make a splash on Earth.
However, this means that almost all of humanity would be devoted to this project.
This project is undoubtedly an unprecedented and massive undertaking, and it needs to be completed quickly.
Professor Zhu then went directly to the side of the conference room, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.
A moment later he returned to the podium.
"Please be quiet, everyone. I just spoke with the military. They're sending people over now. Please be patient and wait here for a bit."
Everyone nodded in agreement; at that moment, they had no interest in doing anything else.
If there were anything more important than this, it would be almost impossible.
After all, it concerns the life and death of humanity, and no one dares to take it lightly.
