Chapter 2313 Imminent Collapse (2)

After hearing Yang Xinxin's words, Zhang Yi was also caught in a dilemma.

As he pondered, he raised his own questions.

"Xin Xin, if this piece of lunar debris falls, how much of an impact will it have on us?"

"A piece of debris that is about 100 kilometers long should not have much left after passing through the atmosphere, right?"

Zhang Yi still held onto a sliver of hope, wishing that things weren't as bad as he had imagined.

Yang Xinxin did not answer Zhang Yi's question directly.

There was a fish tank in the living room where Yang Siya kept some sea fish and would play with them when she had free time.

Yang Xinxin picked up a small mint from the coffee table and quickly threw it into the fish tank.

"Boom!"

After a crisp sound, Zhang Yi saw huge ripples appear on the surface of the fish tank.

Yang Xinxin then said, "Once a piece of lunar debris falls, it will be attracted by Earth's gravity and rush straight to the surface with incredible acceleration."

"It doesn't need to be particularly large; once it impacts the Earth's surface, the resulting shockwave will directly affect the entire globe!"

"A direct impact would only destroy a small area, but the resulting earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions could plunge the planet into a long period of catastrophe."

"Therefore, I think there is no room for wishful thinking. Once it enters the atmosphere, the kinetic energy contained in the acceleration is unimaginable."

"It surpasses the destruction that any human weapon or any Inhuman could create."

Zhang Yi's lips parted slightly. He had originally wanted to ask if it would be worthwhile to use a dimensional gate to bring it into another dimension.

Upon hearing this, he immediately shut his mouth.

The alternate dimension is merely an independent space created by his personal abilities, and its stability increases as his abilities improve.

Once the energy exceeds the capacity threshold, it will collapse immediately!

Clearly, his idea is unacceptable.

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and then asked, "If we hide in the underground world, can we guarantee our safety?"

Yang Xinxin shook her head.

"There is no way to give a definitive answer at this time."

"Because the formation of lunar debris is not a natural phenomenon, we do not know when it will fall or where it will fall."

"But brother, I can assure you that if a lunar debris event does occur, at least we will have time to react."

“Mathematics is absolute; we can find the safest area to escape this disaster.”

"We" refers to everyone in Zhang Yi's team.

As for the fate of others at that time, I'm sorry, they can't do anything about it.

Zhang Yi sat on the sofa, his hands clasped together, lost in thought.

It was yet another unknown world. They didn't have enough information and didn't know the cause of the incident.

He wasn't even sure if the Moon Empire of the Ihen race on the moon harbored any goodwill towards humanity.

After all, billions of years have passed, and the human race may have evolved by then.

"Xinxin, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Yi asked Yang Xinxin for her opinion.

Yang Xinxin smiled faintly: "Brother, the worst outcome is that humanity becomes extinct and we survive. Considering the worst-case scenario, we can all be fine, so you can relax a bit."

"The intelligence is not yet sufficient. Compared to us, who have ways to avoid disasters, shouldn't the countries and major powers around the world be the ones who are most worried?"

"Therefore, I think we don't need to panic, but should wait for them to provide more information before deciding what to do next."

Zhang Yi nodded; Yang Xinxin's analysis was very insightful.

"Then let's do as you say! Let's hold back for now."

So Zhang Yi then used Yang Xinxin's words to appease the higher-ups in other regions.

Zhang Yi also politely declined the request to travel to the Wuluan Empire ahead of schedule.

"If the lunar fragments really do fall, no one knows where they will land. There's no point in hiding underground beforehand; in fact, with the movement of tectonic plates, those underground will face an even more desperate death."

On the contrary, if they are located on the surface and far from the impact center, they may have a chance to survive.

When the senior executives of each region heard this statement, they knew that Zhang Yi was right.

However, their fear was hard to dispel, so they could only turn to Zhang Yi, who possessed great power, and the Shengjing region for help.

At this moment, Zhang Yi took the opportunity to offer his suggestions.

"Our understanding of the world is too limited. We should learn from more advanced civilizations."

"For example, the dragon clan beneath the Qinling Mountains. They are most likely the cultural ancestors of the Huaxu Kingdom, and they certainly know more than we do."

At this point, Zhang Yi's intentions became crystal clear.

This requires the people of the Shengjing region to communicate with the Dragon Clan to obtain accurate intelligence.

Li Guangxiao from the East Sea region also said to Meng Yuanjun and Houtu, "Now is a critical time for the survival of the Huaxu Kingdom. You two should stop hiding things. We know that you have contact with the Qinling Dragon Clan. Why not take this opportunity to ask them for clarification?"

Ji Changhai, the supreme commander of the Northeast Region, hurriedly said, "At a time like this, let's not worry about personal gains and losses. Although the Qinling Dragon Clan is your resource, if something happens to us now, we'll all be finished!"

Meng Yuanjun did not speak, but glanced at Houtu.

After all, so far, only Houtu has gained the approval of the Dragon Clan.

In the eyes of the dragons, everyone else was no different from ants.

Houtu could sense everyone's expectations, and said, "I can go and inquire. But I can't guarantee whether there will be any results."

Even in the Shengjing region, they've always been eager to establish relationships with the Dragon Clan, but whether the Dragon Clan is willing to reciprocate is hard to say.

But now, Houtu has received guidance from that ancestor of the dragon race, and their relationship has taken another step forward.

It will be easier to seek help and guidance thereafter.

That's just how people are.

When you've helped someone, it's easier to help them again when they ask for your help.

Because when you helped him before, it was equivalent to investing sunk costs.

Zhang Yi nodded: "Then we'll wait for your good news."

In all regions of Huaxu Kingdom, numerous astronomical telescopes were pointed at the moon from various angles day and night, for fear that a large piece of it might suddenly fall down at some point.

Houtu did indeed go to find the Dragon Clan, of course, through Heilong Yuanjing.

After returning to the dragon world, it still chose to stay in Shengjing, which seemed to be the guidance of that dragon ancestor.
