I Just Finished Popularizing Science About The Apocalypse, And The Apocalypse Was Detonated In Advan

Chapter 81: The End of Human Civilization, Technology Explosion [New book on the shelves, beg for full order, fifth update]

"Your Excellency, what's wrong?!"

The other members in the conference room couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw Wang Shi suddenly fall to the ground, his face was ashen, his eyes were full of despair.

If they remember correctly, the Yellowstone super volcano erupted before, and Wang Ming did not show such an extremely panicked look. What on earth did Wang Ming see just now?

"It's over!"

"It's all over!"

"No point!"

"Human civilization has come to an end!"

It seemed that King Wang had not heard the words of the congressmen. He still sat on the ground with a look of despair on his face and kept repeating these words.

The congressmen shouted for a long time, but failed to wake up the king. After several congressmen looked at each other, they stepped forward together and looked at the report in the hand of the king.

"Warning!!! The Voyager 1 probe discovered a meteorite with a diameter of 30km that is flying towards...the Earth's star?!"

At the end, all the congressmen were dumbfounded and looked horrified.

A meteorite with a diameter of 30km?!

What kind of meteorite is this? This is completely an asteroid!

The asteroid in the asteroid impact theory that exterminated the dinosaurs was only 10km in diameter, but what impact did it have?

An asteroid with a diameter of 10 km crashed into the sea at a speed of 20 kilometers per second, creating a huge crater on the sea floor. The sea water was quickly vaporized, and the steam was sprayed tens of thousands of meters into the sky, followed by a tsunami as high as 200 meters. , and spread at an extremely fast speed, soaring water swept everything on the land, and turbulent tidal waves swept across the surface of the planet.

At the same time, the earth was shaken violently by the impact, a strong earthquake exceeding 12 on the Richter scale occurred, cracks opened in the earth, and the mountain peaks were shaken so much that earth and rocks collapsed.

A few days later, the impact waves gathered at the other end of the earth, where they caused a strong earthquake to crack the earth's crust. The magma deep in the earth erupted because it lost the pressure of the earth's crust, triggering a strong volcanic eruption on the Deccan Plateau of Asan Kingdom. At the same time The direction of plate movement has changed!

Meteorites hitting the earth produced overwhelming dust and extremely high heat. Polar ice and snow melted, plants were destroyed, and volcanic ash filled the sky.

For a time, the entire planet was dark, the temperature dropped sharply, heavy rain poured down, forest fires broke out, flash floods broke out, tsunamis, floods and mudslides swept away the dinosaurs and buried them.

In the following months and even years, the sky was still filled with dust and smoke, and was covered with dark clouds. Because there was no sunshine all year round, the entire planet entered a low temperature, and the vast earth fell silent for a while.

This is the end of an era in the history of biology!

Although the asteroid impact theory of the extinction of the dinosaurs is just a hypothesis, the various parameters in it are correct.

In other words, if a 10km asteroid really hits the planet at a speed of 20 kilometers per second, it will lead to a series of things later.

And this is only a 10km asteroid. What humans will face next is a 30km asteroid impact!

There is no way for humans to intercept an asteroid that is so fast and so huge.

Even if human nuclear weapons or other weapons with super-scale lethality successfully hit, they will not be able to cause any substantial damage to the asteroid, and the asteroid will not change its trajectory.

In the end, it will hit the planet hard.

Even though human civilization is relatively more advanced than dinosaurs, under such a world-destroying impact, human civilization is still extremely fragile and powerless to withstand it!

Just like the United States, which is the most powerful country in the world, it has no ability to resist when faced with the eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano.

It’s just that this time it’s asteroids and humans, and the result will be even more intense!

The eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano has somewhat given the United States a breath of relief and given it at least a chance to make a comeback.

But after a 30km asteroid falls from the sky, the entire world will be turned upside down and human civilization will not be given any chance to make a comeback!

Humanity is finished!

There is no hope!

The United States only slightly delayed the time of its demise, but overall, it was of little significance.

As for the title of the world's most powerful country, it is even more ridiculous.

So what if you are number one in the world? Under this world-destroying disaster, everyone is the same and all living beings are equal and will all be wiped out!

"Your Excellency, is there anything the Dragon Congress can do?"

One of the congressmen suddenly thought of the Dragon Kingdom.

The matter of monitoring the universe was proposed by Long Guo!

Although Long Guo found a lame excuse, saying that he discovered something by accident, looking at it now, it was not like that at all.

This asteroid was discovered by the Voyager 1 probe. NASA had not discovered anything before. It is even more unlikely that the Dragon Country, which is relatively weaker than the United States in the aerospace field, would make any discovery!

The most important thing is that this asteroid is at the edge of the distant solar system. Dragon Kingdom’s satellites cannot detect that place at all, let alone discover it!

But the Dragon Kingdom did indeed know before the United States that there was danger approaching from the outside.

Does the Dragon Kingdom have any unknown back-up plans?!

Can the Dragon Kingdom's backup force avoid the subsequent catastrophe of human civilization?

"Impossible! Impossible!"

Before anyone else could speak, the congressman denied his suspicion.

It is impossible for the Dragon Kingdom to have such high technology.

Even if the Dragon Kingdom has many hidden methods, it cannot be much stronger than the United States. Otherwise, the Dragon Kingdom would have been number one in the world!

The crux of the problem is that even the ten American countries in their heyday cannot withstand the subsequent asteroid impact, so there is no need to think about the Dragon Kingdom!

On the same planet, there cannot be a big gap in strength between top countries.

Unless there is a sudden technological explosion in this country, similar to several industrial revolutions that have happened in the past.

From manpower to machines, this is a huge technological leap, which can be described as a technological explosion.

Countries experiencing a technological explosion will burst into unprecedented energy areas in a very short period of time.

The reason why John Bull Country was able to become an empire on which the sun never sets was because they were the first to carry out the industrial revolution and achieve a technological explosion. In a short period of time, they had a terrifying power that far surpassed other countries.

This is the horror of technological explosion. A weak civilization is likely to surpass a powerful civilization in a short period of time!

0.0

Technological explosion is mainly divided into two situations, each corresponding to two words.

1. Development speed: The development speed depends on the wisdom and development stage of the civilized race itself.

For example, human civilization entered the steam age and the electric age respectively after experiencing the second industrial revolution, and its development speed changed according to changes in its cognitive level;

2. Acceleration: A civilization that is between two stages of development will develop faster in a short period of time due to its intellectual breakthroughs or pressure from the outside world (such as the depletion of natural resources, devastating natural disasters, or the influence of extraterrestrial civilizations). An unexpected reversal occurred within a short period of time.

The survival instinct forced the civilization to unleash all its potential in a short period of time, and scientific and technological achievements that originally took hundreds or even thousands of years to achieve were condensed into a few decades.

So it looks like an incredible technological explosion and civilizational leap.

It is obvious that there is no technological explosion in the Dragon Kingdom!

Because the Dragon Kingdom has not achieved a major breakthrough in intelligence, nor has it encountered depletion of natural resources or devastating natural disasters.

On the contrary, the United States, which is in a desperate situation, may achieve a technological explosion at this stage and become the world's number one power again!

"etc!"

Alien civilization?!"

"Alien civilization?!"

"Did the Dragon Congress get help from alien civilization?!"

Wang Dong, whose face was filled with despair, suddenly had a very crazy idea in his mind.

Only in this way can we explain why the Dragon Kingdom knew earlier than the United States that a terrifying extraterrestrial crisis was approaching!

King Understanding connected many things together in an instant, and a little light suddenly burst out in his eyes full of despair. .
