Chapter 210: Access Level Promoted!

Chapter 210 – Access Level Promoted!

A week had already gone by since Chen Yu’s trip to “verify” the black hole’s existence.

A portion of the general populace had indeed learned that an asteroid would be hitting Earth three months later. However, due to the effective cooperation of the various governments and the media bans imposed, many of these people weren’t aware of the situation’s exact details. They simply took the government’s words at face value and thought that the asteroid approaching Earth was just “slightly” bigger than the asteroid that struck Russia in 2013…

As for the black hole, the government and media had kept an even tighter lid on any information relating to it. It was basically impossible for the general populace to find any relevant information on newspapers, media outlets, news websites, and internet forums. If one wished to find out about the black hole, they would have to depend on a friend following Transdimensional Review’s channel to drag them into the rabbit hole.

As a result, people still went about their daily lives as usual. The vast majority of ordinary people didn’t even bother finding out more about the thing “above” their heads.

Even when some people got recommended to a video on gravitational waves and accidentally clicked on it, they would only leave comments like “cool” before ignoring the video altogether. As for those that accidentally came across photos of black holes, they, too, would only leave comments like “beautiful” before shifting their attention elsewhere.

These were the reactions of most ordinary people who are happy to enjoy the fruits of science and technology but lacked interest in scientific and technological development. After all, in their minds, these things were far from having any relations with their daily lives. There really was no need for them to care…

Compared to black holes and asteroids, China’s general populace was much more interested in the new “subway” that connected Beijing and Shanghai.

This was especially true for the people residing in these two cities. The maglev train had basically become the main conversation topic for them.

According to the government’s explanation, this maglev train was only an ordinary superconducting train dedicated to transporting goods. It did not possess a vacuum pipeline.

However, obviously, this excuse didn’t last very long.

As more people came to know of a matter, the quicker news of it would spread until it eventually became unstoppable…

Take Transdimensional Review’s popularity, for example. After the sixth official livestream and last week’s additional livestream, the channel now had a total of 14 million subscribers!

The channel’s popularity was increasing faster and faster!

Suppose the world’s various governments hadn’t imposed a ban on the media and the internet. In that case, with 14 million active subscribers, Transdimensional Review could become known throughout the world overnight.

In regards to this situation, the various governments could only express their helplessness. They were not G.o.ds. They had already tried their best.

Black holes, asteroids, maglev trains, and Transdimensional Review’s rapidly growing popularity… While Chen Yu himself also emphasized these matters, he was currently more focused on another topic.

He had gotten promoted…

His access level had gone from D to D+.

He could now host his videos and livestreams on 10 different platforms!

After careful consideration, Chen Yu decided to go with America’s Twitch and Periscope, j.a.pan’s Niconico, Korea’s AfreecaTV, and South Asia’s YeyeLive for his five new platforms.

Now, except for Africa, his videos and livestreams could basically reach every corner of the world.

Meanwhile, the most significant benefit of his increased access level would be the increase in his review products’ technological content.

In Chen Yu’s plan, if the various governments failed to solve asteroid Bell’s threat, he would continuously request the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s staff to get him powerful weapons to review in the following three months.

If even these weapons failed to stop the asteroid from crashing into Earth, then he would have no choice but to obediently type “GG.”

The majority of the viewers that watched his additional livestream weren’t too worried about the so-called “Judgment Day” this time. They all thought that with the Interstellar Portal and the various countries’ nuclear weapons, diverting the orbit of an asteroid would be a piece of cake.

However, if they were to see Bell’s detailed parameters, they definitely wouldn’t have such thoughts.

With humanity’s current technological standards, it would be challenging to deal with this asteroid. Its ma.s.s, orbit, and rotation speed were simply…tragic.

Otherwise, Chen Yu wouldn’t have grown so distressed after reading the journal.

It was also because of this reason that he didn’t mention any of asteroid Bell’s parameters during his livestream, so as to avoid causing excessive panic among ordinary people.

Perhaps it was due to the influence of science fiction movies, but most people were under the misconception that humans held firm control over s.p.a.ce. In reality, however, it was incredibly tricky for modern technology to deal with the countless near-Earth asteroids out in s.p.a.ce.

Take the 2013 incident, for example. The Chelyabinsk meteor had struck Russia at a speed of Mach 112. Let alone stopping it, none of the many astronomical monitoring units around the world had even managed to detect this asteroid entering Earth.

Only after the asteroid had hit the ground did everyone realize, “Huh? What fell down?!”

After decades of observation, many organizations had proudly claimed that they had successfully monitored 1,000 or 2,000 Almo-type asteroids. However, most people didn’t know that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

There was a set of data that could point out “some” problems. Including symbolic experiments, exactly how many asteroids have humans successfully intercepted so far?

…




Bang! Bang! Bang!




A sudden knock came from the security door, dragging Chen Yu out of his thoughts.




“Are Eldest and Second Eldest back?”




Chen Yu pulled out his phone and took a look at the time. He then stood up from the sofa and went to open the security door.




“Brother, we’re back,” Chen Yike said as she shook the snow off her body and led Chen Erke into the house.




“Big Brother, I missed you!” Chen Erke declared as she hugged Chen Yu’s thigh and rubbed her face against it.




“Why didn’t you bring the keys?” Chen Yu frowned.




Chen Yike: “I forgot.”




Chen Erke: “I forgot.”




Chen Yu: “…”




“Big Brother! Look!” Releasing Chen Yu’s thigh, Chen Erke grabbed a white strap from her backpack and tied it around her waist. She then bounced excitedly while saying, “Look! A white belt!”




“Oh, a taekwondo belt.”




“Mhm! Awesome, right?!”




“Yes, yes. Good job.”




“My teacher said that I’m particularly talented and flexible, so I can reach this high!” Chen Erke said as she exaggeratedly pointed at the ceiling.




“Yes, yes.”




“I even had an actual fight today, and many of the kids there couldn’t push me down.”




“Mhm, mhm.”




“Look!” Seeing Chen Yu’s perfunctory att.i.tude, Chen Erke quickly executed a whip kick. “Ha!”




Chen Yu: “…”




“How is it?” Chen Erke stared at Chen Yu with widened eyes, hoping to receive praise and attention.




“Your actions are decent, but it would be better if your body didn’t shake so much.”




“I’ll stop shaking very soon.”




Doing her best to suppress her excitement, Chen Erke quizzically looked at her surroundings.




“What are you looking for?”




“Where’s Third Eldest?”




“…” Chen Yu couldn’t help but cover his forehead at his little sister’s words.




Click.




Awakened by the noise coming from the living room, Chen Sanke opened the master bedroom door and wobbled her way out. While rubbing her eyes, she said, “Big Sis, you’re back?”




“Hmph!”




With her arms akimbo, Chen Erke took a few steps forward and looked at Chen Sanke condescendingly.




Chen Sanke: “?”




“What are you looking at?” Chen Erke demanded, puffing up her chest. “You picking a fight?”




Seeing this, Chen Yu silently sat on the living room’s sofa and grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from a bag nearby. He then started crunching the seeds while watching the show.




“I…I didn’t look at you.”




“You clearly did. Not willing to submit?”




In response, Chen Sanke blinked her eyes, turned around, and chose to ignore her second eldest sister.




“Coward!” Chen Erke shouted.




However, Chen Sanke remained indifferent as she approached Chen Yu and took a seat beside him.




“Idiot!”




“Crunch…” Chen Sanke picked up a biscuit and took a bite.




“I’ll let you start with three moves.”




“Crunch, crunch…” Chen Sanke continued chewing on her biscuit as she blankly watched Chen Erke jumping about.




“Coward!”




“Crunch…”




“Dummy!”




“Crunch…”




“I stole your snacks again!”




“…”




Chen Sanke’s mouth suddenly stopped chewing…
