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 gods. 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

, Japan’s

Niconico

, Korea’s

Afreeca

TV

, and South Asia’s

Yeye

Live

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 mass, 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 space. In reality, however, it was incredibly tricky for modern technology to deal with the countless near-Earth asteroids out in space.

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
