nChapter 120 Establish Skynet
n“It’s aiming at Neige…” The technician pointed at the coordinates on the control panel. “It’s right above us! It’s aiming at Eternity!”
n“What?!” Oraman paled and fell backward.
nThe people behind him immediately caught him.
nMaruse said, “Abort now!” “We’ve run out of time!”
nThe countdown reached “one” at that moment. Everybody on Eternity was scared out of their wits. All hell broke loose.
nWomen were screaming, men were shouting, and children were crying.
nWhat good could it do?
nEternity had been sealed off, and they had no way to escape.
n“Damn the Moonians!”
n“I don’t want to die! Help!”
n“Calm down! Maybe the energy cannon can’t penetrate our hull.”
n“It’s designed to destroy the meteorite! How can Eternity withstand it?!”
n“I didn’t know that Moonian was so capable! We’re going to be killed by our own weapon!”
n“No! No!!!”
n“Help! Help me!!!”
n“I’m sorry, Mr. Soan! It was all our fault! Please abort the launch! I’m so sorry! Please don’t kill us!”
nPeople were begging, screaming, crying, and bellowing at the same time. Millions of people were having nervous breakdowns.
nThe world was watching, and all the countries were astonished, be it Neige’s allies or enemies.
nThey were all shocked that Himmel Soan could control the Neigerian network and that he had launched an attack on Neige!
nNo one had expected that the Moonian technology was so advanced. The Neigerians would never have expected that they would die like this.
nEveryone held their breaths and waited for the end to come.
nA voice rang out in the Neigerian control room.
n“Abort! The launch has been terminated.”
nThe world went silent for a few seconds.
nOraman, Maruse, and the scientists stared at the screen for a few seconds before realizing what had happened.
nThe scientists threw their hands in the air and cheered loudly.
nOraman and Maruse let out a breath of relief as well.
nHimmel Soan’s face appeared on the screen again.
n“Did you see that, Oraman? If I really want to do something to you, I won’t need to hack your system! Your defense mechanism is useless to me, and I have zero interest in your confidential information. I’ve brought your internet back, and I can promise you even the meteorite won’t disrupt the service. Feel free to use it. However, if you still feel dubious, I can cut Eternity off the network. You can repair it on your own.”
nAfter that, all the screens in Eternity’s control room lost their connection, and some computers even had the blue screen. Meanwhile, the Neigerian website went offline as well.
nThe Neigerian server was inside Eternity. Once the ark lost the connection, the Moonian government website became the only accessible website in the world.
nIn Eternity.
nThe people inside went through an emotional roller coaster. One moment, it seemed the world was about to end. The next moment, they were told it was a false alarm, and everybody felt they had narrowly escaped death.
nHowever, before they knew it, their phones and computers lost internet connection. Life just wouldn’t be the same without the internet, especially for the younger generation. Instantly, many people asked Oraman to get the internet back as soon as possible.
nSome even suggested that he should cooperate with Moon so that they could use Himmel Soan’s network again.
nAlthough the passengers on Eternity couldn’t use the internet, people elsewhere could see the video footage of their surveillance cameras from the Moonian website.
nThe entire world could see what the passengers were doing.
nThe countdown reached the last four hours.
nMoon posted an announcement on its website.
nThey had set up a website called “Skynet.” Himmel Soan built the website on his own, and it was devoted to live broadcasts.
nBut it wasn’t filming Earth. It was showing the incoming meteorite. Himmel Soan had built the website with his mental force, and the image shown was also what his mental force could detect. It was the first time the human race laid eyes on the meteorite.
nIt was enormous!
nIt was enormous!
nIt was enormous!
nIn fact, calling it enormous was an understatement. The viewers could see both the earth and the meteorite on the screen.
nNext to the meteorite, Earth looked tiny.
nIn the far corner of the screen was the moon.
nCompared to the meteorite, it looked like sesame next to a watermelon.
nHow magnificent!
nEverybody was blown away by the view. It was incredible. Even sci-fi films wouldn’t come up with more creative scenes.
nTo help global communication, Himmel Soan created columns on Skynet by countries.
nUsers would log in to their own country’s column after verifying their identities. It was like all the countries had built their own governmental websites on Skynet.
nThe only one missing was Neige.
nHowever, everyone could watch what was happening in Neige on Skynet. Although Himmel Soan had disabled their network, he had hacked their surveillance cameras.
nIn the Winish column.
n“I didn’t feel a catastrophe was coming until now. That’s too big to be a meteorite! It’s practically a planet!”
n“Can Earth really withstand the impact? Are we sure the energy cannon can destroy it?”
n“It’s all we have now! I’m praying!”
n“Wake up, people! I never believed in the energy cannon anyway. We couldn’t be more wrong! The Moonians have been right all along! The internet was down, but they could create a signal source and build the Skynet! We wouldn’t be talking here if it hadn’t been for their signal!”
n“I agree! I’m so scared now! I don’t think the arks will be safe!”
n“Do you think the underground shelter is?”
nIn the Flamian column.
n“Shit! It’s so huge! We’re doomed!”
n“Don’t worry. We still have the energy cannon!”
n“Seriously? Do you still believe in the energy cannon?”
n“Or what? Should I count on the space cannon?”
n“Exactly how reliable is that space cannon?”
n“I can’t answer that, but I know Moon has been much more reliable than Neige so far! They’re the only reason that we’re still chatting!”
n
