Chapter 163 - More Trouble
Chapter 163: More Trouble
It was as if his limbs had turned into balloons.
He tried to jump. He barely used any force, but his head bumped into the ceiling.
The corridor was three meters tall!
He had just jumped three meters!
Henry covered his head in pain when he landed.
“Director Lang, are you alright?” Warren wanted to give Henry a hand. However, his one step took him three meters away, and he jumped right over Henry.
He only took one step!
“What…” Warren couldn’t believe it. Things weren’t so serious twenty minutes ago. Why were they losing gravity so fast?
The tiniest force could lift people off the ground.
Henry said, “Do you see it now? We’re losing gravity faster than we expected. We need to make inventories and rebuild the world. How are we going to do that in this condition? We won’t be able to do anything!”
“Don’t worry! I’m sure our Patriarch will know what to do!” Warren tried to calm him down.
Henry was worried sick. “How can I calm down? Warren, please let me go inside to see Mr. Soan! Things will only get worse!”
...
Gravity was disappearing, but not to the point that everything was floating in the air. Some paper had left the ground, but most things would stay on the ground without external forces.
“Mr. Soan must have been severely injured. We can’t keep waiting like this! Luther, Ichiro, and William, you’re the world’s best scientists. Can you find a way to get gravity back?”
William said, “The only way to do that is to bring the moon back!
“How are we going to do that?
“We can’t, not with our current technology! Moreover, the moon has left our vision for ten hours, and we have no idea where it is now!”
“What are we going to do?”
“Nothing! Without gravity, the temperature on Earth will rise. We still have the atmosphere, but the rules of nature have changed. Eventually, the entire planet will be covered by seawater!”
The mood online became somber again. No one had seen this coming.
“Is it possible to build an artificial moon?” The Flamian president asked tentatively, “Is that doable?”
“It is, but it’s going to be very difficult! The world is half-destroyed, and over half of our land has been flooded. We’ve lost all our facilities. It’s next to impossible to build a moon in a situation like this! We’re going to be baked or drowned before we can achieve anything!”
The Pantherese president asked, “Is that really no other way? We just sit here and wait?”
Branco said, “It seems that’s the only thing we can do. Or we can wait for Mr. Soan and ask his opinion.”
Someone posted a comment in excitement. “Mr. Soan is a scientific god! He could build the space cannon, which is a superweapon that doesn’t belong to our age! Building a moon should be a piece of cake for him!”
“Yes! We’ll always trust Mr. Soan!”
“What a year! I hope Mr. Soan is fine and will come out soon to solve this problem. I’m going to tie myself down with a rope, or I may float away and die out there later!”
...
The viewers and presidents were pulling their hair out when a window popped up on the screen. Everyone rejoiced when they saw what it was.
The video came from Himmel Soan!
“I’m sorry to have made you worried!” Himmel Soan had rosy cheeks and didn’t look injured at all.
The presidents were excited to see him as well.
“Mr. Soan!”
“It’s Mr. Soan!”
“Great! You’re here, Mr. Soan! Are you alright?”
“Mr. Soan, we’re losing gravity! What should we do? Can you get the moon back?” Gordon asked the question everybody had on their minds.
Himmel Soan said, “The moon is now very far from us, and I have some bad news.”
“What is it?”
“What news?”
“No way! More bad news?”
“What happened this time?”
Himmel Soan said, “When the super meteorite was destroyed, many pieces landed on the moon; one of them was particularly large.”
“What does that mean?”
“Don’t you understand? The moon is gone!”
“Is that right? Has the moon been destroyed, Mr. Soan?”
The presidents and scientists asked.
Himmel Soan nodded. “Yes, it’s only half the size of what it used to be. Even if we get it back, Earth won’t return to its original state. We have to build a new moon now.”
It was easier said than done. If Himmel Soan had recovered ten percent of his power, he could build a moon with his spiritual essence.
However, he had only recovered three percent of this strength.
Still, it was much better than before. If the super meteorite came now, he wouldn’t need the space cannon. He could crush it with his bare hands.
But creating something was much more difficult than destroying it.
Himmel Soan could destroy the super meteorite, but he couldn’t build one.
He had planned to drag the moon back. After absorbing the spiritual essence from the essence stones, he had recovered his strength, and his mental force became much more powerful.
He searched for the moon in the solar system.
There it was!
However, he then realized the moon wasn’t what it used to be.
Many planets in the solar system had moons, but it was impossible to find one identical to Earth’s moon.
It was unique!
Some moons had some components like Earth’s moon but were much bigger. They would increase gravity too much if they replaced the old one. That was to say, everything would become much heavier than before.
