nChapter 131 Fire in the Hole

nOraman actually managed to fill up the gaps in his theory. To make it more frustrating, some people actually believed him.

nMany viewers felt enlightened when they heard the excuse and found it reasonable. They agreed that the missile couldn’t be detonated close to Earth, or the explosion would make an impact on the planet.

nWhile Oraman was talking, the missile suddenly picked up its speed. It was moving even faster than the super meteorite.

n“What’s happening?

n“Holy crap! It’s so fast! It was so slow a minute ago!”

n“It’s going to hit the meteorite! I’m so nervous!”

nYes, Himmel Soan had given it a hand. He was using his mental force to push the missile forward so that it would collide with the meteorite much sooner.

nThere were two reasons.

nFirst of all, he couldn’t stand those Neigerian officials anymore. Himmel Soan had set up the current internet service, and he knew everything they were saying.

nOraman was shameless, and Himmel Soan had to use this way to expose that man’s lie.

nThey insisted that the energy cannon could destroy the meteorite. Himmel would show them what would happen.

nOraman would lose his hope if he saw the result with his own eyes.

nThe second reason was that Himmel Soan wanted to destroy the special protective layer around the meteorite.

nHimmel Soan had discovered the layer quite a while ago and announced it to the world. The protective layer was formed by a substance that couldn’t be found on Earth.

nIf he could destroy the protective layer, it wouldn’t be so difficult to break the meteorite.

nAlthough it wasn’t that difficult for him to destroy the protective layer, he didn’t want to waste his spiritual essence.

nNow that Himmel Soan had become a scientist, he could use spiritual essence in scientific research.

nMoon had enough spiritual essence to launch the space cannon three times. It would take at most two launches to destroy the meteorite. If the protective layer was gone, one launch would probably be enough. He could use the remaining spiritual essence in post-catastrophe constructions.

nThat was why Himmel Soan accelerated the missile so that it would collide with the meteorite sooner. Not only that, but he had also hacked the Neigerian computers and fired the remaining four missiles.

nIn the online world.

n“Mr. Oraman, why did the missile suddenly speed up?”

nOraman didn’t know what had happened, so Maruse went up the stage and whispered something in his ear.

nOraman nodded and calmly said, “That’s right. It’s a type of technology. The energy cannon is an example of our most advanced technology, and the missile is equipped with highly effective thrusters that can greatly improve its speed.” Someone else asked, “The missile seems to be flying faster than Despair One. Is it approaching the speed of the light, too?”

nOraman hesitated for a moment before chuckling, “That’s right. I know Moon can show a clearer image of the meteorite, but we have even more advanced technology. The speed of our missile is close to 1

/100 of the speed of the light!”

nAnother viewer asked, “Mr. Oraman, you said earlier that Moon didn’t have the technology and that their images were fake. Why have you changed your opinion?”

nOraman said, “I like your question. Who’s

nnext?”

nThe next question was, “Mr. Oraman, you said Moon might have been wiped off the face of Earth. You told us the underground shelter wasn’t reliable and was probably flooded. However, the Moonian website is still active, and many Moonians are using it. I checked it just now, and there are 1.2 billion active users. The elders and children don’t know how to use smartphones, and the soldiers are all on duty. Together, they should add up to 1.9 billion people. The Moonian population is 2 billion, so not many of them are dead. Are you sure the underground shelter is unreliable?”

nOraman said, “Lovely question! Time will prove everything! Next.”

nThe next one asked, “Mr. Oraman, Moon hacked the Neigerian system before. Can we reach the conclusion that Moonian technology has surpassed that of Neige? If you do become the ruler of the world one day, will you be bothered by the fact that another country used to be better than Neige? Will Moon become Neige’s nightmare?”

nOraman said, “Moon has never been able to hack our system! You’ve been misinformed! Moon has never surpassed Neige either! I have just been informed that the missile can collide with the meteorite, so I’ll stop answering questions. We’ll know the result very soon. It’ll be a historical moment. You’ll see for yourself.”

nAfter that, the Neigerian website soon quieted down. Half the users disappeared. They went to the Moonian website instead.

nWhy would they watch the Neigerian broadcast when Moon had a much higher definition?

nEven Oraman himself was watching the collision on the Moonian website.

n“Why were all the missiles fired? Who told you to launch them all? Didn’t I tell you to save two missiles for later use?”

n“We didn’t give that order! It was a system failure, and they were launched automatically.”

n“You idiots!”

nOraman was furious. He had planned to use the energy cannon to threaten other countries. Now that all the missiles were launched, he had nothing to blackmail them.

n“Five missiles… What a waste. The meteorite will never reach Earth!” Maruse sighed and looked down at his tablet, which was showing the broadcast on Skynet.

nFour more missiles flew out of the atmosphere. The first one had reached the meteorite. It was very close and would collide with the meteorite in ten seconds.

nEveryone held their breaths and waited for the collision.

nBoom.

nNo sound was made.

nHowever, everyone seemed to hear it in their heads.

nThe missile immediately disassembled.

nYes.

nThere was no flame.

nNot even a spark.

nThere was indeed an explosion.

nHowever, it was like a sesame landing on a football.

nThe explosion didn’t do anything to the super meteorite. What was left of the missile stuck to the meteorite’s surface and was pushed toward Earth.

nJust like that?

nThe whole process didn’t last longer than five seconds. The viewers hoped to see some aftermath, but they were all disappointed.
