BXBX NOVEL Chapter 164 - Leave the Galaxy
Chapter 164: Leave the Galaxy
If one were to weigh a person under such gravity, an ordinary person would weigh 650kg. A 50kg girl would now weigh 500kg, and a 100kg person would weigh 1000kg.
Similarly, it would make moving around much less convenient.
People used to be able to jump a meter high, but they would only be able to jump 10cm.
To make it worse, the change in gravity might affect the air pressure. Human bodies could explode when internal and external pressures didn’t match. No living creatures on Earth would be used to such changes.
To adapt to it, the species would have to evolve. Therefore, such celestial bodies could never become Earth’s new moon.
However, those that were the same size as the original moon had different components and weren’t suitable either.
That was how troublesome it was.
After weighing all the options, Himmel Soan knew he had to build a new moon. However, he didn’t have enough power. There was no hope.
Hearing what Himmel Soan said, many scientists started asking questions.
“Mr. Soan, can you build a moon?”
“With what Earth has become, we can’t build a moon, can we? Even if the economy hasn’t been destroyed, we won’t know how to create a moon on our own!”
“Mr. Soan, could you tell me if you know what to do?”
The people both looked forward to and dreaded his answer. They wanted him to give them some hope, yet they were also scared that he would disappoint them. After all, building a moon identical to the previous one was unheard of.
The people on Earth still hadn’t figured out all the minerals that could be found on the moon. How were they going to build one?
Himmel Soan shook his head while everybody watched.
Seeing this, the people on Earth lost their hope.
It was expected!
Even Himmel Soan couldn’t do it.
“It’s too difficult. No one can do that!”
“Is God determined to destroy Earth? I thought we’d survived the catastrophe, but what followed is even worse!”
“Let it be. I’m just happy to live for another day.”
“Mr. Soan has already done many great things. No matter if he can build the moon, he’ll still be my God!”
The presidents and scientists fell silent, and the ordinary people shared their despair.
However, Himmel Soan’s next words ignited their hope again.
“I know a way to restore Earth’s gravity temporarily.”
The screen was covered by bullet comments.
“What is it?”
“Did I hear it correctly?”
“What did he mean? Restore gravity? Is he going to build a moon?”
Luther was perplexed. “Mr. Soan, what do you mean? Didn’t you say you couldn’t build a moon?”
“No, I can’t. However, our gravity doesn’t have to be determined by the moon. They can exist independently. Do you know what I’m saying?”
Luther shook his head. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know what you mean. Earth’s gravity is directly related to the moon. Without the moon, there’s no gravity. What do you mean by being independent?”
Himmel Soan said, “Yes, they are connected, but I know how to separate them. I can restore gravity, but it’s not permanent. One year later, Earth will return to this state.”
Everybody was dumbfounded.
“Mr. Soan, are you saying that we’re going to build the moon at that time? Or do we have other plans?”
“Mr. Soan, please tell us what to do!”
Himmel Soan took a step back, revealing a blackboard behind him. His video window enlarged, taking up the entire screen.
He pointed at the graph on the blackboard behind him.
What did Himmel Soan do in the three hours that he had disappeared?
He was trying to figure out a way to save Earth!
He spent every second of those three hours thinking and finally found a solution. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come online.
Himmel Soan pointed at the blackboard behind him. On it were a few spheres, and it was easy to tell that one of them was Earth, the bigger circle was the solar system, and the largest circle was the galaxy.
Outside the galaxy was another sphere.
Himmel Soan explained what the graph was.
“As you can see, this is Earth, this is the solar system, and this is the galaxy. I marked everything clearly. I’ve discovered another galaxy very far away from ours. The two galaxies are very similar, and there are a lot of ‘solar systems’ in that one.
“I found in one of the solar systems a planet that’s almost identical to Earth. It’s 99.9% the same, but it’s larger and more suitable for us to inhabit.”
What a story!
It sounded too good to be true!
Some people burst out laughing.
“I’m sorry. I don’t mean to offend Mr. Soan, but I think he’s talking nonsense! We can’t build a moon or leave the solar system yet, but Mr. Soan is talking about leaving the galaxy and joining another solar system! I don’t know what to say! I find it hilarious!”
If the statement hadn’t come from Himmel Soan, that viewer would have started criticizing it already. Himmel Soan was the most respected person on Earth. Because of that, the viewer didn’t dare say anything disrespectful.
He was worried that Himmel Soan’s fervent supporters would kill him.
He wasn’t alone. Over 90% of the viewers thought the same. The other 10% hadn’t digested the news yet.
They believed Himmel Soan was wrong, or they had heard him wrong.
Fly out of the galaxy?
In a year?
How would that be possible?
“Mr. Soan, please don’t make fun of us! Let’s think about how to rebuild our moon!”
“Mr. Soan, please be serious. We can’t possibly leave the galaxy with our current technology.”
“That was the funniest joke I heard today. No offense, Mr. Soan!”
