Chapter 98: The Fall of a Civilization

When the Noah faced the sun, Mars would separate the sight of the two ships from each other. While the sun was just right, people immediately executed the relevant plans.

The special satellite, which looked like a large rock, would be disguised as a falling meteorite to reduce the risk of being detected by the Greenlighters. However, its interior was stuffed with a signal transmitter that would send a string of signals in a fixed direction.

Because the gas residue from the launch vehicle was too much and could easily be detected by the Greenlight civilization, humans could only use a specially designed cannon to launch the satellite like a cannonball.

The Noah happened to be floating at a height of three thousand kilometers in the Martian atmosphere, and could be launched directly at high altitude. The calculation of the ballistic trajectory is very complex, and puts a relatively high demand on the specific propulsion force and direction.

But it should not be too difficult for Noah's many computing experts.

The satellite's life span is short, but its mission is exceptionally important - to issue commands to the self-destructing truck.

"Launch countdown ready."

"Ten, nine, eight ...4, three, two, one, satellite launch!"

Oliver stood at the observatory, squinting his eyes, slightly nervous, when he heard a loud "boom" and the satellite was launched hard.

It had a very fast initial speed of 2km/s and a small internal power unit. According to the plan, it will crash a thousand kilometers away from the flying saucer, and in the meantime, it will send out a signal command ...

About an hour later, a truck located at the north pole of Mars suddenly moved. Its back box carried a nuclear bomb, and a large amount of intelligent machinery in the cab suddenly self-destructed, leaving only the truck's power unit.

Its engine was instantly on and the direction of motion was firmly fixed and could not be changed, so ... it just buried its head in the direction of the flying saucer!

People know that the electromagnetic waves of the meatball have the ability to interfere with intelligent machines, but it definitely can't interfere with mere mechanical operation. The truck didn't have any intelligent machines inside, only a simple range-counting device, and as soon as it advanced about a hundred kilometers, a billion-ton-yield helium-3 nuclear bomb would explode!

After another hour, the scientific instruments on board the Noah detected a billion tonne equivalent mega-nuclear explosion in the far North Pole! This time the explosion was so powerful that a large amount of reddish-brown dust blanketed the entire top of the Martian North Pole.

Because of the distance, people could not see the details, but the instruments showed that the nuclear bomb was exactly one billion tons. It was clear that the Martian saucer had been completely destroyed, and people were high-fiving each other.

Oliver's brow was furrowed with a feeling of disappointment.

It was strange ... everything seemed too simple, no back-and-forth ploy from you, no dying recoil from the meatball, and no chain explosion produced, and the Mars saucer was just wiped out by humans? Humans in the imagination, and even considered that the meatball will be discovered in advance, what countermeasures will be in place, what accidents will happen ...

But nothing, the observation instruments accurately calculated the location of the explosion with the blast equivalent, indeed, where the flying saucer was located.

It just ... died?

Oliver suddenly produced a surreal feeling, just like this success?

Everything looks a little unbelievable, everything, and rightfully so, does the meatball still have the ability to turn over? Of course not, it has long been the end of the mountain. Even a second before it died, it did not necessarily know that a nuclear bomb would suddenly explode nearby ...

Gauss rifle can hurt it, so it definitely can not resist a billion tons of nuclear bombs ...

Perhaps, it has been the last member of the civilization, just like that ... was blown up by the weak human.

This civilization is also the end of the curtain.

Once the mighty, all become a thing of the past, once powerful, also become a shovelful of earth ... gone, just gone, in the vast universe, the disappearance of a civilization, did not raise any little wave.

Oliver suddenly some emotion, human beings, so that the destruction of an intelligent civilization with their own hands, which gives him an inexplicable sense of discomfort. This is not sympathy or a mother of God attack, but the same intelligent creatures of a feeling.

This is the universe, the cold universe! Perhaps in the "eyes" of the entire universe, all intelligent life, no matter how strong or weak, are no different from ants.

Survival or destruction, what does it matter to me?

The universe is so big that no one knows what will happen next. Any civilization must be careful, even to the level of interstellar civilization, there is a risk of extinction.

Strong and weak are only momentary, and no one knows when it will suddenly reverse. Humans, must be careful, careful, more careful ...

Oliver let out a long sigh, now that the matter of the Martian flying saucer was solved and the loopholes in the camouflage plan were filled, people could focus more on facing the green light civilization.

Time passes quickly ...

At this moment, the Noah is really loose inside and tight outside, the general public is not too big deal, after a series of cosmic common sense science, we all know the danger of alien civilization, but also understand the government's reasons for doing so.

After the initial anxiety, to the calm, many people have become accustomed to this atmosphere. Of course, the general public only knows about the "camouflage" operation, but not the details of it, and the status of the encounter between the two civilizations.

Many of the people would get together and talk about it in their spare time. When it comes to this matter, they actually can not think of a better way than the camouflage program. Except, hide ... or commiserate and surrender to the alien civilization.

But anyone with a little backbone will not do so. Who knows whether the aliens are good or evil, and whether they treat humans like pigs and dogs? It is not wise to put fate in the hands of others. The new human civilization is still too weak, countless times weaker than the real interstellar civilization.

It is not wise to be defensive, so ... disguising itself as a powerful civilization is a very good choice!

Many people agreed that this was almost the best way to go, and trust in Oliver grew deeper and deeper.

It is also basically impossible to have any gossip at the moment, after all, Oliver himself is still inside the ship. This leader is the object of everyone's common support, as long as he is still in power, in leading the human race, the people in the Noah have an inexplicable sense of security ...

However, what they don't know is that their leader is under tremendous pressure!

Oliver has been staying at the astronomical observatory these days, staying there for at least twenty hours a day. His eyes were red and he obviously hadn't slept very well. He doesn't know if what he did was right or wrong, good or bad ...

Who knows if detonating the flying saucer will be seen as a breakthrough. By definition, something like a nuclear bomb should be a common weapon between civilizations and would not be seen to break.

Nor would the Greenlighters know the real reason for the human detonation. But then again, who knows what they think? Just a few more days of work and they would know that the humans blew up the flying saucer.

Alive on the Noah were the last 50,000 humans, and he really didn't want to be buried in his hands like that. He wanted to live and lead them to survive ...

But nowadays, "survive" such a simple thing, just rely on wisdom is no longer useful, but also rely on a little bit of luck. He hated the act of relying on luck, which meant uncontrollable and unreliable.
