This situation, I must contact that kid Su Yan!
His Iron Persons can help!
Su Yan had gifted the Patriot to the military.
As the central government's best protective weapon and a symbol of power, the lovely Patriot was naturally placed in Jingshou, the most valuable capital city!
And all this time, it was Su Yan's personal Iron Man Suits that were providing support across the country, helping the government combat criminals and win the hearts of the people.
Now that such a big incident had occurred, even though fighter jets had been dispatched to Izumo at the first instance, whether they could ultimately protect it was still an unknown. Tang Yueming had to find the best guarantee.
There was no doubt that this best guarantee was Su Yan.
Su Yan had brought too many surprises and miracles to the world, with all sorts of novel gadgets emerging endlessly... Right now, Tang Yueming needed such a miracle to ensure the survival of tens of millions of people in Shanghai.
Hmm?
However, Tang Yueming couldn't get through to Su Yan on the phone.
"Why is Xiao Yi's phone off again?!"
Tang Yueming called several times in a row, but still couldn't get through.
"Xiao Li, how much longer until the meteorite falls?"
Tang Yueming asked with a tightly furrowed brow, a trace of anxiety in his heart.
"Commander, according to the current meteorite's descent speed, the meteorite will completely fall into Shanghai in just 21 minutes!"
The operator quickly replied.
"21 minutes..."
"The time is too short!"
Tang Yueming's face was grim.
What could be done in 21 minutes?
Even if he sent people to find Su Yan at the fastest speed right now, they might not be able to find him within 21 minutes... And 21 minutes was the time until the meteorite hit; even if Su Yan arrived, he would still need time to prepare, wouldn't he?
Not only that, in 21 minutes, the fighter jets might not even be able to fully load their ammunition.
Given the suddenness of the situation, fighter jets were not on 24-hour standby. Even if they scrambled quickly, if they wanted to change the meteorite's trajectory or break up the entire barrier like the United States did, each fighter jet would need to carry missile reserves equivalent to at least 10,000 to 40,000 tons... This meant even more time would be consumed.
Moreover, the number of fighter jets in Shanghai was limited. At this point, trying to transfer them from elsewhere was completely out of the question due to time constraints, and they would still need to vigorously replenish ammunition, which also required preparation time.
"There's no other way."
"Activate all anti-air missiles and air defense systems! No matter what, this meteorite must not completely land on the ground in Shanghai!"
Tang Yueming issued his command again.
A complete meteorite would undoubtedly cause the most terrible damage... but if it were dispersed, even though damage would be unavoidable, it could minimize the damage from above.
This was the last resort among last resorts, but it was also the most desperate choice at the moment.
Sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people to save tens of millions of lives... In such a situation, Tang Yueming could only choose this.
"I hope that this time, the Huaxia Empire can safely overcome this catastrophe!"
Tang Yueming let out a long sigh and silently prayed in his heart.
He glanced at the phone in his hand, feeling an impulse to make one last call to his family... but then he looked at the busy operators in the command room, and Tang Yueming put the phone back into his pocket.
...
Meanwhile, at Modu University of Finance and Economics, school auditorium.
Nearly thirty students, from freshmen to seniors, both from within and outside the university, gathered in the auditorium, listening intently to Su Yan's impassioned speech about his "Holographic Project"!
Ever since Su Yan accepted the university's invitation to give a speech, he had been thinking about what to talk about.
In the Marvel Universe, people especially loved hearing about the strange new technologies he researched, how awesome they were against super villains, and how miserably he could beat the super villains...
But now that he was in the Main Universe, that trick obviously wouldn't work.
Moreover, the Main Universe's technological level was generally ordinary. If he talked for a long time, it would probably be like playing a lute to a cow; he'd be enthusiastic, but no one else would want to listen...
So Su Yan thought of many topics.
Things like telling his "rise to power" story, how he gradually created various technologies step by step and then became stronger... Unfortunately, that would require Su Yan to weave an extraordinarily grand story, even fabricating many character names, which was too much trouble.
Or he could choose to talk about interesting anecdotes after he became famous, such as how miserable he was initially, and then how successful he became after making money... But wouldn't that be equivalent to teaching kids bad habits?
Su Yan pondered deeply and finally decided to talk about a topic that people were quite interested in and that had once caused a heated discussion online—the Holographic Project!
Currently, Future Invasion's holographic content has begun to gradually catch up. Many software developers and game developers, under J.A.R.V.I.S.'s guidance, have started to understand how to create holographic games...
In fact, creating holographic games is not difficult, especially when developing them based on Future Invasion's holographic platform; it's even easier than developing ordinary mobile apps!
Therefore, more and more holographic applications and holographic games will gradually come online.
As soon as Su Yan said these words, the entire audience erupted in cheers and shouts... Clearly, the students were incredibly interested in this topic!
Seeing the effect, Su Yan naturally began to "brag enthusiastically"... This way, he could not only complete the speech satisfactorily and impressively, but also promote his company's products, killing two birds with one stone.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I have to interrupt you for a moment!"
Just as Su Yan was speaking most animatedly, suddenly, J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice came through his Bluetooth headset.
Su Yan didn't stop his speech, but silently reached up and tapped his Bluetooth headset, meaning: What happened?
"Two hours ago, a meteorite with a diameter of 1.3 kilometers suddenly changed its trajectory and began falling towards Earth. Its final impact site was New York City, United States!"
"The President of the United States dispatched multiple fighter jets and successfully diverted the meteorite from its collision course with Earth using explosive methods!"
"However, during the explosion, a small piece unexpectedly disintegrated, deviated from its original trajectory, and is now falling over Shanghai, China!"
"In 20 minutes, this meteorite will completely land on the soil of Shanghai, China. According to calculations, its impact will be enough to affect two-thirds of China!"
As soon as J.A.R.V.I.S. said this, anyone who heard it would likely be unable to remain calm.
A meteorite was about to fall on their heads?!
How could this be?!
However, Su Yan's expression didn't show much change, and a smile still hung on his lips.
"Oh, my! Sorry about that! The speech has to be interrupted for a moment!"
"I have urgent business; I need to go to the restroom. I'm very sorry!"
With that, Su Yan ignored the surprise and stunned looks of the more than three thousand people in the audience, quickly stepped off the stage, pulled open the main door, and then left the auditorium directly through it.
