As the Federation’s two spacecraft disappeared on the surface of the teorite, the entire world seed to plunge into an indescribable silence.
No one knew what was truly happening, because the explosion of that Tsar Bomb earlier caused a strong electromagnetic interference. The Blue Planet had lost communication with the three spacecraft on the front line. Many of the broadcast images on TV were just snow, as if the broadcasting directors were so shocked that they forgot to switch the scenes.
The unbearable silence lasted for about a minute, but that minute felt as long as a century.
It seed that the broadcast directors finally realized their job, and the image on the TV was finally switched. It was no longer a sea of snowflakes but the live NASA command center.
Since the spacecraft were from the Federation, the two Federation spacecraft were commanded by NASA here.
Having lost contact with the front line, everyone was eager to get so explanations or assurances to soothe their anxious hearts.
Chen Xin was also very nervous at this mont, but he could sowhat persuade himself to remain calm because he had guessed there would be electromagnetic interference when the Federation decided to drop the nuclear bomb.
However, this electromagnetic interference caused by the nuclear explosion should not last too long, and the spacecraft should have defenses against this. Communication with the front lines should be restored once the interference dissipates.
Just as Chen Xin was thinking this, a NASA expert on the TV provided a similar explanation and comforted everyone, asking them to wait patiently and not panic.
Although the NASA expert on the TV appeared calm, Chen Xin could see that he wasn’t as confident as he seed.
Moreover, the hall behind him at the NASA command center was also busy, suggesting that they were in a state of panic themselves.
Fortunately, as they had anticipated such situations when deciding to drop the nuclear bomb, the chaos was soon brought under control.
Moreover, the communication with the front-end terminal didn’t persist for too long. Soon, the Fla Country restored communication with its front-line spacecraft.
The pictures taken by the spacecraft in space reappeared on the screen, and Chen Xin hurriedly looked attentively at the screen.
But on the screen, the teorite still moved forward like a mountain, covered by a layer of shining white mist, and trailing a long, endless cot tail behind.
Chen Xin knew that the white mist was the debris flow from the teorite’s surface blown away by solar winds. The Federation had used a nuclear bomb to blow away this debris, but the debris flow that was blown away had re-covered the teorite surface during the brief communication interruption.
Interestingly, while they restored communication with the Fla Country team, the communication with the Federation team had yet to be restored.
The two spacecraft had been silent ever since they charged towards the teorite.
"Could it be that the Federation’s two spacecraft are done for? Why haven’t there been any updates?" A netizen in Chen Xin’s survival group began to worry.
It wasn’t impossible. Although they used a nuclear bomb to blow away the debris flow on the teorite’s surface, no one knew exactly what the surface situation was. Humanity has never landed on a teorite before, and it’s highly likely to encounter an accident during landing.
At this ti, another friend in the group who seed more rational retorted in the chat, "It should be the debris flow on the teorite’s surface interfering with communication. According to the Federation team’s task, they are supposed to drill on the teorite’s surface and install a nuclear bomb, which is not an easy job, so taking so ti is normal."
This respondent was in the drilling profession, although drilling a hole on a teorite is much cooler, he had been digging machine wells in the Northwest, so he had so say in this matter.
Despite the group now being renad the Doomsday Survival Group and focused on survival, before the teorite impact, it was just a group of outdoor sports enthusiasts. The mbers were outdoor sports lovers.
Those who could afford outdoor activities had so money in their pockets, and the group consisted of people from all walks of life who had so assets; they could dig their own shelters during such a doomsday event instead of relying on official shelters.
Don’t be fooled by the previous girl who posted photos to tempt Chen Xin to move in with her saying she hadn’t moved into a shelter. She actually made outdoor gear, and all of Chen Xin’s ergency food supplies for over a year and other survival gear were sourced from her.
In fact, although only Chen Xin had exhibited his shelter in the group previously, most of them did not go to official shelters and had dug their own doomsday shelters.
Even the girl who said she wanted to move in together, Chen Xin could tell from the photos she posted last ti with her sister and a close friend that she had already entered her own shelter, which was even better equipped than Chen Xin’s.
At least, Chen Xin’s shelter couldn’t accommodate three people, especially won.
"I also think it’s just communication interference. Those are two spacecraft after all; even if one crashes, it’s unlikely both would crash, right? Everyone should just wait patiently during such tis."
"But this wait is truly nerve-racking, like knowing a sword is going to fall but not knowing when it will drop."
"Don’t say it like that. Even if the teorite truly falls, didn’t the writer ntion it? As long as it doesn’t crash on the Fla Country’s side of the Blue Planet, we’ll survive in the shelters."
"But what if we’re unlucky and it hits our side?"
"Then don’t think about anything; you’ll certainly go peacefully at that ti."
Watching the discussions in the group, Chen Xin sighed helplessly. "Writer" was his nickna in the group. Previously, during discussions about the teorite impact, he did say that if the teorite fell on the Federation’s side, everyone staying in their shelters could survive.
However, besides himself, others hadn’t showcased their shelters, so Chen Xin didn’t know if they had prepared for the teorite now hovering overhead.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but send a ssage in the group, "It seems like I’m the only one who has shown my shelter. Are you all prepared, or are you planning to stay in an official shelter?"
