Chapter 184: Explosion
“Atlantis has sunk to the bottom of the ocean, and that’s what you knelt at!
“Their technology level is far beyond ours. They invented the plasma laser cannon, which is 370 times more powerful than the Neigerian energy cannon!
“What does that mean? Take the super meteorite as an example. Even without the space cannon, Atlantis would still be able to destroy it!”
Most people’s first reaction was not to believe him. Some did believe him, but there were only a handful of such people.
“I heard about Atlantis a long time ago, but I didn’t know it existed!”
“Bullshit! I don’t believe you! Atlantis is pre-historic! It’s from before the time of dinosaurs! How can those people still be around?”
“Now is the time to test if you’ve listened carefully in class. Who told you Atlantis existed before dinosaurs? Haven’t you heard? From the distinction of the dinosaurs to the present time, there are many gaps in our history!
“The dinosaurs died tens of millions to hundreds of millions of years ago. Fossils of primitive men didn’t appear until hundreds of thousands to millions of years ago. There’s a huge gap in between!”
“That’s right! How long have human beings been around? Civilizations have only been around for thousands of years. How do you explain the missing tens of millions of years?”
Those were the people that believed Atlantis existed.
However, most people didn’t buy Himmel Soan’s story and saw Atlantis as nothing more than a legend.
“Stop making me laugh! Atlantis? Why don’t you tell me it’s God’s will? If Atlantis does exist, why would they allow our civilization to make any advancement?”
“That’s right! It’s total bullshit! I don’t believe any of that!”
“I don’t care if it’s Atlantis, God, or vampires! I just want to know how we’re going to recover! Mr. Soan, can you find a way to cure us?”
“I have the same question! Everything else is bullshit! The most important thing is to cure us!”
“Atlantis can wait! I’m having trouble breathing already, and I desperately need to get my human form back! Is that doable? I need an answer!”
...
Henry Lang couldn’t stand those comments anymore. He smacked the table and shouted at the camera, “Watch your attitude! We don’t owe you anything! With the way you’re talking to us, Mr. Soan won’t help you even if he can!”
Many people supported him.
“That’s right! I can’t stand those people! Why should we treat them? Let them die!”
“Mr. Soan, we can’t save them!”
“Yes, we can’t! Guys, let’s all post the same comment and show them how many people are supporting Mr. Soan!”
“Don’t help them!”
“Don’t help them!”
“Don’t help them!”
...
The screen was covered by bullet comments. As soon as someone posted their doubts, they would be pushed out of the screen by more “Don’t help them!” That sentence became the only thing people could read.
Three minutes later, the moon rose to the highest point, and Earth’s gravity reverted to normal. However, the same comments were still occupying the screen.
Atlantis tried two more times to intercept the artificial moon, but they failed both times. The moon still rose to where it was supposed to be.
The artificial moon was different from the original one in many ways. The most significant one was that Atlantis was no longer trapped at the bottom of the ocean.
The original moon had created a pressure that kept Atlantis underwater. Even though the Atlanteans had entered the fifth age, they still couldn’t elevate their kingdom out of the ocean without using extra force, but if they did, it would leave a detrimental effect on Earth and cause great damage to their kingdom as well!
Himmel Soan’s moon could only restore gravity without any additional effect. Earth would no longer have four seasons, and there were no tides in the ocean either.
That was to say, tides would stop rising and falling, and the climate would stay pretty much the same. Moreover, the new moon wasn’t permanent. It would disappear in a year’s time!
Himmel Soan said, “Everybody, please stop posting those comments. I’ve created a potion that should help with the scales. I can’t guarantee a full recovery, but it’ll ease your shortness of breath and the craving for water.”
“Really? That’s fast!”
“Great! We’re going to get better!”
“Mr. Soan is as great as ever!”
“In that case, move on to mass production! Our gravity is back to normal, so why don’t we start the reconstruction? We should return our land to its original state!”
“I don’t buy it. No one can figure out a cure so fast. I won’t buy it unless I see it with my own eyes!”
“Me neither! That just sounds too fast to be reliable!”
...
Many people were thrilled to hear that Himmel Soan had found a solution, and many of them apologized for what they had said to Himmel Soan before.
They did this so that they could get the cure as soon as possible. However, only they knew how sincere they had been.
Some people didn’t believe Himmel Soan and insisted it was too fast to come up with a cure. He was only a scientist, not a medical researcher. How could he know so much about the scales in such a short time?
Himmel Soan chose to demonstrate his potion’s effect on these people.
He was confident in his skills. Even if the potion couldn’t make the scales and fins go away immediately, it could at least ease the uncomfortable process.
“Mr. Soan, the three patients have signed an agreement to try the medicine,” Warren communicated with Himmel Soan through his earphones.
Himmel Soan nodded. “Alright. Send them in.”
Soon, the only three affected Moonians were brought into the room. A doctor took out the green potion Himmel Soan had made and injected it into one of the patients.
The entire world was watching the patient.
He looked much better after the injection and was breathing normally with a big smile on his face.
“I feel much better! The medicine really…”
Thump!
He exploded before he could finish.
