Chapter 88 Do You Believe Him?

“Do they have no talented people at all?”

“Forgive me for being harsh, but if you keep doing this, it’s only a matter of time before your country declines! You have to be more serious about it! Science is too important a matter to be overlooked!”

Panthera was Moon’s ally, and its president couldn’t stand such criticisms anymore. “What’s wrong with you people? Do you want Moonians to be as foolish as you? Who they consider a scientist is none of your business! Stop interfering! I can call my son a scientist if I want to. You talk too much! Just shut up!”

“You…” “What did you say?”

“What? Do you have a problem with that? Do you what to see how Panthera does science? You’re welcome to visit my country.”

Panthera was one of the most influential countries in the world, and Neige was about the only county that was Panthera’s match. Even Winland wouldn’t mess with that ferocious country.

The president of Panthera was a straightforward man that would always speak his mind. He then turned to Himmel Soan with a smile. He was curious what a teenager had to say over such an important matter.

He knew Moon well and didn’t believe they would treat science so lightly. The fact that Himmel Soan was in that conference room had proved his competence.

“Go ahead.”

Himmel Soan smiled. “I think we all know some basic physics. For instance, friction generates heat, and high temperature generates kinetic energy.”

While he explained, Viclan and the others set up a model. Himmel Soan held a miniature meteorite and used the model to imitate what was to happen.

“Because the meteorite is moving very fast, it had created a unique defense system on its surface level. So far, we haven’t formed a theory on what type of energy it is. The meteorite is moving at 1/360 of the speed of light. We’ve never seen anything that fast!

“Why do planes and rockets have to have hard shells? It’s because they move very fast. The high speed will change the shape of substances. Even iron will be distorted.

“The meteorite isn’t a plain stone. Despite being extremely fast, it can still stand the heat, and it’s not changing its shape. Do you really think the energy cannon can destroy it? I know how powerful an energy cannon is. It can easily destroy our moon, but you’ll be disappointed if you think it can destroy the meteorite. “Yes, there’s no friction in the vacuum, but no other object can move that fast in outer space. I estimate that it has destroyed over thirty planets so far, and they were all larger than Earth. That’s how hard the material is.

“I’ll use T as a basic unit here. 1T is equivalent to the impact of a car explosion. To destroy the moon, we need 46,000 T. To destroy the sun, we need 1.2 billion T. To destroy this meteorite, we’ll need 4.9 billion T, and the power of the energy cannon is somewhere between 500 to 800 thousand T. The energy cannon won’t make a dent in the meteorite, let alone destroy

it.

“You’ll be terribly mistaken if you count on the energy cannon to save you from this catastrophe.”

Himmel Soan’s explanation was very straightforward and easy to understand.

One of the presidents smirked. “What was that? Destroying the sun requires 1.2 billion T, and that meteorite needs 4.9 billion T? Are you saying it’s tougher than the sun?”

“That’s right. Although the sun is 1.3 million times the size of Earth, and this meteorite is only 2.5 times, it’s denser than the sun. If the meteorite is iron, the sun is cotton!”

“If that’s the case, are you saying we should prepare for death? It sounds like we have no hope at all,” said another person.

Viclan said, “No, we still have the space cannon! It can concentrate the energy in the air. My country is building one, and it has far surpassed our budget. Not only can it compress air, but it can also concentrate ‘space.’ The power of space and time has always been a mystery. However, it’s not all bad news. Mr. Soan has advanced knowledge in space, and he estimates that the space cannon’s power can exceed 10 billion T. That’s more than enough to destroy the meteorite.”

“You must be dreaming!”

“Stop bragging! 10 billion T? We’ve never heard of a space cannon before! Where’s your research? Show me your research!”

“You Moonians are full of bullshit! If you have such a weapon, why are you still a backwater country?” “Himmel Soan, the scientist? He’s just a nobody! He doesn’t know a thing!”

Just like what Himmel Soan had predicted, these people wouldn’t believe him. However, he didn’t try to convince them either.

He only delivered the message. As for where the other countries would believe him, that wasn’t for him to decide.

“Mr. President, that’s all. Here’s a list. If anyone believes our theory, we can ask them to help us with the resources on that list.”

Himmel Soan handed the president a piece of paper, who said, “Thank you for your hard work. If you need anything for your research, feel free to let me know. We’ll do everything we can to help you!” “Deal!”

The president gave the list to Henry after Himmel Soan left.

Henry said, “Mr. Soan has told you nothing but the truth. He’s also the first person who discovered the meteorite. Right now, we need all the help we can get. We only need to fire the space cannon once. If we can collect all the materials on this list, we’ll get through this catastrophe. We can’t do it on our own. Please help us.”

“I see. You’re asking for money!”

“The catastrophe will affect all the countries no matter where you are! You won’t be helping us. You’re helping yourself and everyone else!”

The president of Panthera considered for a moment and said, “We believe you. Send me the list. I’ll find everything we have and deliver it to you as soon as possible.”

“Seriously? Do you buy that bullshit? What the hell is a space cannon? I’ve never heard of it before!”

“Should I believe you, then? Or do I have to count on the energy cannon?”

“The energy cannon can destroy Earth. Why should you trust it?”
