Chapter 751: The Yang family advances toward space

Back downstairs, the apocalyptic fantasy kept lingering in Yang Fan's mind.

It might not be big, but what if that?

Anything could happen, just in case.

Moreover, more and more countries possess nukes, and the future will likely see even more.

There's nothing we can do; as technology advances, making this thing becomes easier and more concealed.

Now some countries might already have this thing, they just dare not test it.

Or they may have already tested it.

Those living comfortably, even though they know their country suffers constant earthquakes, still build so many nuclear power plants.

Who would believe there isn't a bit of collusion in this?

They can conduct underground tests and then disguise them as earthquakes.

Those living comfortably, you already have it.

You don't need much of this thing; a few can easily trigger the apocalypse.

For those nations living comfortably, this possibility is likely great.

After the apocalypse, the world could free up vast lands; they would no longer need to huddle on small islands.

This could fulfill their thousand-year dream of becoming mainlanders.

I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it.

The more I think, the scarier it gets.

"The Yang family also needs to get ready."

"Abroad, some build doomsday bunkers, Musk works on spaceflight, and there's Mars immigration."

"These are all solutions."

"The Yang family also can't fall behind."

Thinking of these, Yang Fan quickly contacted the other Yang family members.

Soon they began investigating and researching the possibility of apocalypse.

The outcome was not optimistic.

Technology is a double-edged sword; it can create miracles, but also annihilate humanity.

Technology has advanced to the point where even a baby pressing that button could destroy humanity.

Yang Fan, Yang Qihang, Yang Canghai, Yang Yuntian…

The Yang family's descendants gathered together.

Yang Fan spoke first.

"This was originally a warning from our father, your grandfather."

"He said, as Yingjiang weakens, the possibility of an apocalyptic outbreak grows greater."

"I originally didn't pay much attention, but after we had people investigate, we found the situation is not optimistic."

Yang Fan opened the projection.

"Please look, this is the current number of nuclear weapons possessed worldwide."

"This is the difficulty coefficient for manufacturing nuclear weapons."

"As time passes, the difficulty will keep decreasing."

"One day, any company will be able to craft nuclear weapons by hand."

"Unless that day, the world achieves an agreement to limit the research and production of weapons of mass destruction."

"Otherwise, in the coming decades, the likelihood of nuclear war will keep rising."

"Even a hundred years later, nuclear war will become a conventional war."

"By then, Earth will no longer be a paradise."

"It will become a hell of chaos, poverty, and destitution."

"By then, our only hope will be space, the moon, and Mars."

"There, there is enough space to serve as a buffer."

"Even if you launch a missile at it, it would take days to reach the moon, months to reach Mars."

As Yang Fan spoke, all the Yang family members present became tense.

They had never thought about these things.

Suddenly hearing Yang Fan mention it, they suddenly felt the apocalypse was actually this close to them.

Yang Fan's data were all obtained through scientific calculation.

The future is indeed not optimistic.

Yang Fan looked at them one by one, his eyes widening.

Yet in his mind he thought, "We've only just begun."

He then switched to another slide.

"Just now I spoke of nuclear bombs; now I will speak of biological warfare."

"According to data collected by our Yang family."

"Nowadays, all over the world they are researching superviruses; among them, Yingjiang is especially radical, having built many biochemical labs worldwide."

"Moreover, they frequently collect biological samples from around the globe."

"In Daxia, they hire or use commercial means to gather large amounts of biological samples."

"Creating a virus specific to a certain population is not impossible."

"Everyone should know how fast DNA technology is developing; our Yang family also has some biotech companies."

Among them, a large number of various viruses have been collected.

It's possible that, at some point, viruses specifically designed to exterminate humanity could emerge within these laboratories.

Once such a virus appears, if the incubation period were a bit longer...

By the time it is discovered, possibly all of humanity could already be infected.

The possibility of humanity's extinction at the hands of viruses will also increase as biology develops.

And the only solution to avoid this disaster is space, Yueqiu, or Mars.

Yang Fan paused, letting everyone digest that.

Then he released another slide.

This is the probability curve of humanity's extinction by a supervirus.

You can see that, as technology advances, this probability will rise sharply.

After reaching this point, it begins to fall rapidly again.

Because as technology advances, virus detection technology, isolation technology, and targeted vaccine technology are also developing rapidly—this is the balance of technology.

But we still have a high probability of perishing before these technologies.

Now everyone could no longer sit still.

Grandpa, do you have any plans?

Just say it, we will fully support you.

It's, Grandpa, we will definitely spend money if we have it, and contribute effort if we can.

Grandpa, just tell us what to do.

Grandpa, since we know the future path is space immigration, let's go for it.

We are willing to spend any amount of money.

Just to leave a way out for the Yang Family.

Let's do it, Grandpa, Yingjiang's Musk is already working on this.

Originally we didn't understand why he was doing this, but now we do.

We must keep up with this; otherwise, if Yingjiang gains a large amount of space immigration technology, it will become even more arrogant.

Those things won't care about ordinary people; if they truly had the means to avoid disaster, I estimate they would 99% likely launch a nuclear war.

Once we act, we'll make them understand: if they dare to be reckless, we'll leave them no escape.

How many rich people are there in this world? If they truly had the right to be exempt from doomsday, these scoundrels would surely launch an all-out war.

They must possess this technology.

Wherever they flee, we must pursue and possess the means of mutual destruction.

Otherwise, the danger of doomsday will be very great.

If we can be stronger than them, even better; we'll plant seeds everywhere, to see if you dare to play the doomsday game.

When we can preserve more people, their nuclear war would be a losing proposition.

Moreover, there is also the risk of being utterly wiped out by others.

Thus, conversely, it becomes them worrying that we might not see reason.

Space technology is of great significance.
