#817 - Chapter 817 The most critical moment! Withdraw troops and cease fire? Chen Hao's heaven-
Southwest Sea.
In a small courtyard, Chen Hao leaned back in a recliner.
He had just rushed back to China, heading straight to the Southwest Sea at the first opportunity.
These past few days, he had been physically and mentally exhausted, yet he couldn't fall asleep.
Leaning against the recliner, he stared blankly at the ceiling, two words occupying his mind.
Time!
He had told the old leader when he arrived.
Once the agreed-upon time arrived, if the waterline remained, they would have to initiate the evacuation plan.
Abandon the entire coastal region of the country!
Public transportation would be fully activated, including railways, civil aviation, and even the air force, along with a vast number of private cars, to relocate coastal residents to the inland—tsunamis are affected by terrain and buildings and won't surge too far inland.
But this would inevitably deal a fatal blow to China's coastal cities.
The most critical point…
Reconstruction wouldn't be possible even after the tsunami.
God knows if the tsunami would strike again?
After speaking with the old leader, he came to this small courtyard, staying inside alone.
Claiming he was a little tired and needed to rest.
In reality…
He hadn't closed his eyes at all!
China's coastline exceeds 30,000 kilometers, and the entire coast had been hit by the tsunami.
The extent of the damage was unimaginable.
The titanium alloy sealed spheres were the last hope.
More powerful than a hydrogen bomb!
The problem is…
He wasn't sure if the alien civilization could understand!
It's normal for General Wang not to understand because that's scientific knowledge.
The alien civilization certainly has scientists, but the civilization systems are different after all, so it's hard to say whether they can understand.
Time passed.
The agreed-upon evacuation time was getting closer and closer.
…
Inside the small courtyard.
Chen Hao was spacing out in the room, glancing at the clock on the wall from time to time.
Outside the small courtyard.
Unbeknownst to Chen Hao, the old leader sat on a small stool, squinting at the setting sun.
The old leader was equally anxious!
However, he thought Chen Hao was asleep, so he didn't disturb him.
"Old leader, should we issue the evacuation order?" another old man said in a low voice.
All with good intentions.
The safety of the people's lives is the top priority!
Since there's no hope, then evacuate the entire population immediately, the sooner the evacuation, the sooner the safety.
Chen Hao's series of actions had already been perfect, the rest…
Is beyond human capabilities!
"Wait a little longer." The old leader shook his head.
People should be true to their word.
The time he agreed upon with Chen Hao hadn't arrived yet.
Even if there's one second left, they must wait!
"It's gone…"
Suddenly!
General Wang ran over excitedly, shouting as he ran: "Old leader… everyone! The waterline is gone!"
"What?!" The old leader stood up abruptly.
"The waterline has disappeared in all the seas around the world!"
"How could this be…"
The old leader was stunned at first.
Looking at the small courtyard not far away, he walked over quickly with excitement: "Quick, tell Little Chen…"
Having taken only a few steps, he stopped again: "That child is too tired… let him rest well first."
Squeak!
The courtyard door opened.
"You… weren't asleep?" the old leader stammered.
"No."
Chen Hao shook his head with a wry smile: "Couldn't sleep."
"Commander! The waterline has disappeared!" General Wang shouted excitedly.
"Heard it."
Chen Hao chuckled: "I only came out to see what was going on because I heard you shouting."
Not long after.
A group of several people walked into the small courtyard.
From the moment Chen Hao opened the door until now, everyone had been staring at him blankly, their eyes filled with shock and incomprehension.
"Little Chen."
The old leader was very excited: "How on earth did you do it?"
The waterline disappeared.
The tsunami attack stopped.
All of this, of course, was related to Chen Hao, but everyone couldn't figure out how he could do it?
"Commander!"
General Wang immediately handed over paper and pen, his heart equally filled with doubts.
Chen Hao took the paper and pen, redrawing the simple diagram, while explaining: "The two civilizations don't share a language, but I believe that if there are similar scientists, using the simplest drawings to illustrate, they might be able to understand."
The drawing was very simple.
It only took a minute to complete, the main body only had a few lines.
"This drawing… what does it mean?" the old leader asked, pressing.
"The Earth's crust thickness is uneven globally, the thickest places exceed 70 kilometers, while one of the thinnest places is the Mariana Trench—only two kilometers."
Mariana Trench
Chen Hao pointed to the simple drawing.
There were two lines in the drawing, representing the thickness of the Earth's crust.
The lower line was straight, while the upper line was undulating, representing the uneven thickness of the Earth's crust.
Among them.
There was a place where the thickness was very thin, and it was also marked with wavy lines, representing the ocean above.
It was the Mariana Trench!
There…
He drew a red—X!
"Based on the distance that drones and small underwater vehicles entered the underground world through the passage, I made a rough estimate that the alien civilization is located below the Earth's crust."
"If the two-kilometer crust of the Mariana Trench is penetrated… what would happen?"
"The destructive power of a hydrogen bomb is limited to one area."
"But the entire Pacific Ocean could make their civilization doomed!"
That's right!
The alien civilization understood!
They also realized that this was a disaster far exceeding a nuclear explosion, and after weighing the pros and cons, they had to give up detonating tsunamis in various seas.
Because…
Tsunami attacks are limited to the coast.
But if this drawing is true, the disaster facing the underground world will far exceed the tsunami.
They were afraid!
"So that's how it is…" General Wang was dumbfounded.
This works too?
A drawing made the alien civilization admit defeat!
"This… is that achievable?" the old leader asked quickly.
"No."
Chen Hao shook his head with an embarrassed smile: "The Mariana Trench is more than 10,000 meters deep, and we haven't developed a submarine that can enter this depth yet, even if it is developed… it can only dive to the bottom of the trench."
What's the use of just diving to the bottom of the sea?
It's also necessary to drill holes in the seabed more than 10,000 meters deep.
It's absolutely impossible with current technology!
The problem is…
The alien civilization doesn't know if the surface civilization can do it.
Dare they gamble their survival?
"If…"
The old leader's expression was somewhat solemn.
"I understand."
Chen Hao nodded: "We used a capability we don't have to scare the other party into being forced to stop their actions, if it's exposed, it's useless—but at least, they won't dare to mess around for a period of time in the future, right?"
As long as the current crisis is overcome…
Isn't there another plan underway?
Drilling holes all over the world!
In the future, even if the alien civilization realizes that the content of the simple drawing is a bluff, it will already be too late, right?
Drilling through countless holes connecting the underground world!
Can throw countless nuclear bombs down!
You want to release a tsunami, try it?
"A delaying tactic!"
Hearing Chen Hao's explanation, the old leader laughed: "I understand!"
There is time.
Another plan can be completed.
"That's what I mean." Chen Hao nodded with a smile.
"Little Chen!"
Suddenly!
The old leader stood up, holding Chen Hao's hands tightly in both of his, his face filled with sincerity: "This time… you saved China's coast, and you also saved the entire world—I want to thank you!"
Chen Hao was stunned.
Just as he was about to say something, the old leader looked at the several top-level leaders present: "I am old."
