Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start

Chapter 74 Space Cannon

Henry and Gordon had witnessed Himmel Soan’s revival and knew that the teenager in front of them was the once old man.

However, Viclan and the scientists weren’t there.

Viclan was perplexed when he heard Henry address the teenager as Mr. Soan. He wondered which member he was. He then saw Warren and Yosef. “Patriarch, this is Viclan!” Warren introduced Viclan to Himmel Soan.

“Patriarch?” Viclan’s mouth fell open. “Why is Himmel Soan so young?”

However, he trusted that Warren wouldn’t make such mistakes. This teenager should be Himmel Soan.

“Patriarch, you…” “Please take a seat.”

“Yes! Of course!”

The mood in the room had been merry and casual, but people became nervous when Himmel Soan showed up. He was such a mysterious and formidable man that no one dared to disrespect him.

Even Henry and Gordon seemed intimidated. They used to be confident that they could fend off the three divisions for a while, but that was before they saw how capable Himmel Soan, the Patriarch, was.

Once they became aware of the three divisions’ real power and the miraculous revival of Himmel Soan, Henry and Gordon saw him as a god and didn’t dare to defy him in any way.

“Mr. Himmel Soan, I’d like to propose a toast to you!”

“That won’t be necessary. Let’s get down to business.”

Henry was trying to fawn over Himmel Soan and get to know him better, but Himmel Soan didn’t seem interested. He had a solemn look on his face the whole time as if something serious was going to happen.

Not only did it make everyone uneasy, but it also made them start speculating. Was something big going to happen, or was it Himmel Soan’s nature?

“Patriarch, I should be going to you instead of the other way around. To what do I owe this honor?!” Viclan asked gingerly.

Himmel Soan cut to the chase. “Charles, I talked to you about the rules of the ‘Void Definition’ thirty years ago. How’s the research going?” “Void Definition” was one of Himmel Soan’s skills that could be qualified as a supernatural power.

But it was still explainable. Back then, Himmel Soan told Viclan/Charles what Void Definition was about. The scientist then studied for the next decade until he put forward the Soanian Theory. That was to say, Viclan had Himmel Soan to thank for all his discoveries. “Charles? Who’s that? “Charles Soan?” Henry was confused. He followed Himmel Soan’s eyes and saw that he was looking at Viclan.

Henry thought, “Is Viclan a member of the Soan empire, too? Is he also one of the Soans?”

Viclan said, “Patriarch, I’m sorry, but I found very little in these thirty years. After you introduced me to the Void Definition, it took me as many as twelve years to discover the Soanian Theory. As for the Void Definition itself, I still haven’t figured out its principles!”

Himmel Soan didn’t know how to explain it either.

He only knew how to use it because there was spiritual essence in his body.

He instinctively understood how to activate the Void Definition with his spiritual essence, but he didn’t know how ordinary people could use it. Since Viclan was a scientist, Himmel wondered if he could solve the problem with science.

As it turned out, it wasn’t so easy. If the skill was a car, Himmel Soan’s spiritual essence was gasoline. He knew how to fuel the engine with his gasoline. The problem was, other people didn’t have it!

He needed to figure out how to enable people without gasoline to drive a car. Hence, he told Viclan the structure of the car. However, after years of research, Viclan was only able to build a tire.

“With the theory you’ve come up with, is it possible to build a space cannon, something that can use compression power to make strikes?”

Viclan and other scientists were the only ones who knew what Himmel Soan meant. The other people were utterly confused.

“I’m afraid I’m not good enough to make that happen yet. I haven’t figured out the ‘Void Split’ you told me. So far, I haven’t found the adequate material to split the void. Your theory is correct, but the requirements are too specific,” Viclan said awkwardly.

William asked, “Patriarch, why did you bring that up?”

Himmel Soan said gravely, “A super meteorite is going to smash into our planet in about fifteen days. We can only destroy it with a space cannon! Without it, we only have a one-in-a-70 million chance to withstand the impact.”

Everyone paled when they heard the announcement.

“What? A super meteorite?”

“Is that true? It can’t be! Mr. Soan, are you sure about that? Where did you hear it? From the internet? There’s a lot of fake news online! It has to be a rumor!”

“Mr. Lang, please don’t question our Patriarch. His power is beyond your imagination! If he says a meteorite is coming, it must be!”

“But no astronomer has noticed It!” Himmel Soan said, “No one expected to see that meteorite, and it’s moving very fast. Our telescopes can’t see it yet. It’ll be at least a week before we can pick it up.”

The distance between the sun and the earth was about 1/63140 light-years, whereas that meteorite was 1/360 light years away from the earth.

That was much further than the sun.

It took the sunlight eight to nine minutes to reach the earth, and nothing traveled faster than light. It would take over 5,000 minutes for light to travel from the earth to the meteorite and double that time for it to travel back.

10,000 minutes were equal to seven days.

By then, it would be too late.

Even now, it already felt like it was too late.

“What should we do?” Gordon asked, “Is there anything we can do?”

Himmel Soan said, “Of course, we can do something about it, but I just haven’t figured it out yet. General Marlow, how many resources can our country spare? To build a space cannon, we’ll need about 9 billion. The Soan empire can cover 8 billion. Can you take care of the remaining one? We’ll also need a place to build it!”

“Wait… Mr. Soan, I’ll need some time to process that piece of information. What’s a space cannon, and why are we building it?” Viclan joined the conversation. “Air is a very powerful substance. The space cannon can compress the air before shooting it out like a cannonball.”
