Livestreaming a Rocket into an Asteroid, I Made the Whole Internet Weep!

“Three hours until the asteroid destroys Modu. Global space-based weapons have failed to intercept it. Humanity, prepare to face judgment.”

The countdown began. The city descended into chaos as all the powerful figures frantically fled for underground bunkers.

Meanwhile, at an abandoned space center in the west, Chu Xinghe, a good-for-nothing aerospace intern who had been fired, climbed alone into an old launch vehicle that had been retired for fifty years.

He activated the “Interstellar Engineer” System and used duct tape and a wrench to force the pile of scrap metal to ignite!

In the Livestream, viewers around the world watched him take off alone in a tattered spacesuit, sitting in a crude cockpit full of drafts. They were all dumbfounded.

“He doesn’t even have a parachute! It’s a one-way trip!”

The head of the United Nations Space Agency choked up during the call. “Chu, you can’t change its trajectory. Come back!”

Chu Xinghe looked at the enormous meteorite looming closer outside the window and pressed the manual detonation button.

“I may be a couch potato, but Modu is home to my favorite pan-fried buns.”

“The night sky over Daxia doesn’t need this hunk of rock!”

As the flames lit up Earth, air-raid sirens sounded in more than a hundred countries around the world, all to send him off!
