nChapter 110 Science and Metaphysics

nThe goal was impossible to achieve without millions of years of effort.

nMaybe out there, someone had succeeded.

nHimmel Soan looked up at the sky. There were countless planets in the universe, and Earth shouldn’t be alone.

nEarth couldn’t be the only planet with a civilization. Other planets had to have life forms as well.

nHe wondered how long a history those planets had.

nHad they invented the mini space cannon yet?

nWhat was their technology standard?

nOne of the reasons that Himmel Soan was confident about this conclusion was the super meteorite.

nIt didn’t feel natural. The speed was too high.

nCould it be “man-made” somehow? Then someone launched it from far, far away.

nThe meteorite could be a detector that collected information along the way and transmitted it back to its home planet.

nThat would be terrifying!

nTo create a super meteorite, that civilization had to be very advanced. Earth would be nothing in comparison!

nHimmel Soan pondered for a moment before rolling up his blueprints.

n“Warren.”

n“Patriarch!”

n“Give these two blueprints to Viclan. Tell him to start working on it right away.”

nHimmel Soan then activated his mental force to search for the meteorite. It had entered the solar system and would probably reach Earth in 36 hours.

nHe would fire the space cannon when it was an hour away. That gave him 35 hours to prepare, about one day and a half days.

nHe had to use this time to build the spiritual essence storage device and the power source so that he could assemble the finished space cannon.

nHe still had time.

nMoon had the largest population on Earth, and the workers were very efficient. The construction of the device wouldn’t be an issue. Moreover, the storage device wasn’t complicated to build. The raw materials were the tricky part.

nNow that the materials had been sorted out, they could start the mass production.

nThe mold was already prepared. The materials would be put into the mold, and it would only take a few seconds for the parts to take shape. The worker could then put them together.

nIt was that simple.

n“Mr. Soan, I heard you’ve built all the parts of the space cannon.”

nHenry, Gordon, and the president arrived at the lab.

nHimmel Soan nodded at them. “The blueprints are done. All we need to do is build the device. How is it going out there?”

nThe three men’s faces darkened. “It’s not looking good. The catastrophe is upon us. Everything hit us at once, and many countries are in danger. There are tens of billions of people on Earth, and we can’t possibly build enough arks to shelter them all. Our information suggests that over a million people have died.”

nGordon said, “Mr. Soan, your IVE Extractor is amazing. Our country has been hit by tornadoes, hurricanes, volcano eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and storms. Thanks to the device, we haven’t had many casualties. Most people have entered the underground shelter. We couldn’t move the signal towers, base stations, and power generators, so we’ve set up IVE Extractors around them. So far, we’ve lost fewer than ten thousand facilities. Cell services and electric power have remained relatively normal.”

nMoon was a vast country. Because of that, it had been hit by more disasters than other countries.

nMoonians trusted Himmel Soan’s IVE Extractors and the underground shelter. Over 90% of the population had been evacuated, and the rest 10% was considered missing for the time being

nSome had gone abroad, and some might be in hiding. All in all, no dead bodies had been found.

nThe casualties so far were 800, and most of them were workers and members of the Dragon Tribe and the Soan empire. Very few civilians had died.

n“Good. The meteorite hasn’t arrived yet, and things will only get worse. We can’t let our guards down! Get everyone into the underground shelter pronto!”

n“Of course!”

n“What about other countries?” Himmel Soan asked.

nThe president sighed. “It’s not very promising. We’ve sent them the devices, but few of them were willing to accept them. They all believed we had tampered with the machines. We’ve opened up our borders. If any individual or country asks for our help, we’ll give them all the help we can offer.”

nGordon said, “The president has sent out troops to our neighboring countries. They have the IVE Extractors with them and will rescue the people stranded by storms and hurricanes.”

nThat would work.

nHimmel Soan didn’t think of that before.

nThe soldiers carried tents, IVE Extractors, and power generators with them. If they ran into disasters like a sand storm, they could set up the tent and shield it with innate vigorous energy. That way, they could stay out of danger.

nHowever, it wasn’t 100% safe. In the case of a flood, the water could enter the tent from below. Similarly, there was little they could do when they ran into a landslide.

n“Don’t send any more people. We need to guard this place. Mr. President, Director Lang, General Marlow, we don’t have much time left. Get all the Moonians back. I’ll take it from here and lead a rescue team consisting of people of the three divisions only.”

n“Mr. Soan, we can’t let you do that!” The president was nervous. Himmel Soan was too important to the country, and they couldn’t afford to lose him.

n“It’s alright, Mr. President. Please go to the underground shelter immediately. The Soan empire will take care of the rest.”

nHimmel Soan then left the room and gave an order. “Assemble the three divisions!”

nDrake said, “The Himmelian Village is ready!”

nPhoebe said, “The Himmelian Pavilion is ready!”

nLiam said, “The Himmelians are ready!”

nMembers of the three divisions were all cultivators. Some of them were only junior ones, but they were still far more capable than ordinary people.

nAn ordinary person would have no chance of surviving these tsunamis and earthquakes. However, members of the three divisions would have a 90% survival rate.

nThe Villagers were the most capable ones. They could walk in the ruins as if they were on level ground.

nThe Himmelians were the most nimble ones. They could adapt to most situations.

nThe Himmelian Pavilion had the best swimmers, and they would work wonders in the flood and tsunamis.
