Chapter 238 Asteroid

Dr. Sky wrote on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the White Leopard Star landing:

Humans will never be able to fully explore the mysteries of space.

The White Leopard Star does not belong to the planetary range of the solar system. It comes from an unknown and distant place. It is an extremely hard rocky planet - when we discovered it, we designated it as QI7701.

Its appearance is completely white, looking like a pearl in a shell, but in spring and summer, it changes to the blue-green color of Planet A. It has an orbit and vitality that are completely different from other asteroids. It is not afraid of collisions., the brightness can be compared with Jupiter. I think many detection teams including astronomy enthusiasts are aware of this.

We have detected signs of life on the White Panther Star, and we have received messages from the White Panther Star - so far, it is the only planet that can communicate with humans.

Immediately, our students and I went there excitedly. I clearly remember that my students and I were on Andromeda near the White Leopard Star. We took the interplanetary shuttle bus directly to the White Leopard Star.

God bless, the journey was smooth, and we successfully landed on the White Leopard Star.

To be honest, when I saw the spring scene in front of me full of birdsong and flowers, I felt that White Leopard Planet was more suitable for human habitation than Planet A.

We explored the White Leopard Star for nearly a week. In the end, because the supplies could not be delivered, we had to return. When we returned, in order to leave review materials for future exploration and this trip, I took the White Leopard Star with me.A fist-sized rock.

This is something I still regret and feel heartbroken when I think about it.

Nowadays, there are several crater chains, deep and shallow cracks, frequent eruptions of volcanoes, and dead crops on Planet A...

I can only die to apologize to mankind!!!

"Team leader! Dr. Sky committed suicide!"

Shang Nan was drawing a star map by hand when he heard a shout from behind him. The pencil in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the sharpened lead broke.

One day later, Shang Nan appeared at the funeral of Dr. Sky. Dr. Sky died at the age of 120. Dr. Sky has been particularly interested in astronomy since he was seven years old. At that time, there were no conditions. He made his own telescopes. Listen.Astronomy Channel broadcast.

At the age of twenty, Dr. Sky became an "expert". At the age of twenty-five, he became a famous astronomer with all his achievements and honors. Later, he began to explore space. His students, his students' students... Dr. Sky has students all over the world., has made countless contributions to mankind.

People attending the mourning ceremony filled the streets and alleys, bright red flags fluttered above the buildings, dust invisible to the naked eye continued to float in the air, and thunderous roars sounded overhead from time to time.

As long as the mourners look up, they can see countless planetary fragments above their heads. They move very slowly, like black planets all over the sky, densely packed, like endless fleas and lice - they may be caught at any time.It hits Planet A at a speed of 30,000 miles. Although the speed will gradually slow down as it gets closer to Planet A, the slowest speed is still over 20,000 miles.

They are not ordinary meteorites and meteoroids. They will not be as big as rice grains when they fall, and they are not like meteors or meteor showers.

According to statistics, the smallest "meteorite" that hit Planet A was 7 meters in diameter.

But meteorite impacts are not the only thing that can kill people.

Shang Nan presented a white bouquet to Dr. Sky. When he came out of the funeral parlor, everything in front of him was gray, including the sky above his head. He put on the dust mask issued by the Academy of Sciences and coughed a few times.

On the stairs not far away, a man in work clothes was walking up. He suddenly twitched, fell to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Several people near him ran over and sprayed blood into his mouth with ease.An antidote.

Shang Nan frowned, the world was obviously beginning to be destroyed.

[14: Blackening value 50.]

Shang Nan closed his eyes, "The monster is the rock that Dr. Sky brought back, right?"

[14: Yes, it has no ill intentions towards Planet A, but it does towards humans. It is the core material of the White Leopard Star. After it left the White Leopard Star, the White Leopard Star body died. Now the White Leopard Star has turned gray.It can go back, but it thinks it is more convenient to stay on Planet A. But if it chooses Planet A as its new carrier, almost all the creatures on Planet A will have to be cleared before they can be replaced with the life forms of the White Leopard Planet..]

[14: The planetary fragments above your heads are all attracted by it. They contain terrible radiation, and they fall every day and crash into Planet A. Since they are not small meteorites, they will soon hit Planet A.It will be so messed up that Planet A will even face a direct explosion, and the monster will attract a steady stream of planetary fragments, asteroids, rocky planets or gaseous planets, everything in the universe, because Planet A has nothing to shield this gravitational pull.]

"It doesn't want to go?"

[14: It has no intention of leaving.]

"How do I communicate with a stone?"

[14: Why do you think it is still a stone?It's behind you.]

"Team leader!" Ning Yi's voice came from behind. He was wearing the same black suit as Shang Nan. Inside was the uniform of the Academy of Sciences. A corner of his badge symbolizing his identity was exposed. He was Shang Nan's college student and a high school student.younger brother.

The two of them just knew each other, and their relationship had always been casual, just acquaintances.

Ning Yi has a small mole on the bridge of his nose and small tiger teeth, but the tiger teeth are particularly sharp. He smiles like a little tiger and looks carefree.

"It's such a pity that Dr. Sky died like this," Ning Yi followed Shan Nan and sighed. When he didn't get Shan Nan's agreement, he noticed that the other party's eyes were strange, "What's wrong?"

Shang Nan coughed twice and patted the other party on the shoulder, "Put on the mask. Let's go back to the courtyard first."

"Okay!" Ning Yi took out the mask from his pocket. He hung the mask on his ears, looked at the top of his head and said, "How many have fallen today?"

Data appeared in Shannan's mind, and he said calmly: "No. 99, No. 74, 102, 33, 45, 02... there are about twenty of them in total. The largest one has a diameter of 13 meters, causing the direct death of thirty people.", property loss..." At this time, property is no longer the most important thing.

"Volcanoes M2, M9 and M77 all sent out signals yesterday. Their activities have been very frequent recently." Ning Yi answered.

The two of them were walking on the deserted road. From time to time, dusty cars would fly by. Some plastic paper would float up on the road, and black rolling stones were scattered everywhere. This was far from the home that Shannan remembered.It's like another planet.

The ecosystem of Planet A has been damaged. There are countless volcanoes, tsunamis, typhoons and violent rains that have been awakened. Deserts have begun to spread, glaciers have also spread, and a large number of animals have been displaced and began to migrate.

The frequent extreme temperatures often kill people, and the daytime hours have even been shortened to only seven hours, sometimes even less than five hours.

Almost everyone carries an omnipotent detector with them, which is distributed for free everywhere. As all mankind strives to continue to exist on this planet, matter has gradually been thrown aside.

The detector can detect radiation in the environment, changes in nearby ecology, signs of lava activity underfoot, and quickly receive signals from meteorites that are about to fall.

They just want to live, not become fossils after a mass extinction.

It was only after Ning Yi joined the observatory that Shang Nan slowly learned some information about him.

Ning Yi said that he grew up in an orphanage. He simply loved astronomy and found it endless fun to explore the universe. He felt that the universe had an indescribable power and charm, so he applied for the astronomy major in college.

Shannan remembered clearly that before he was a freshman in high school, the sky was still blue. Although the air quality in the capital was not good, the sunrise and sunset, wind, frost, rain and snow all had their own rules.

But on the day of the college entrance examination, a 7-meter-diameter meteorite penetrated the atmosphere and quickly hit their school. The meteorite crashed into the dormitory building, and the cracked rocks exploded. After the friction and fire, the surrounding houses instantly became a sea of ​​fire, and itThe impact crater destroyed the entire school and even the entire neighborhood.

The death toll that day exceeded 500, but Shonan escaped because he was not taking exams at his school.

The affected area of these meteorites is not as large as the previous meteorites that fell, and the weight is not as high as those meteorites, but they are fast. The closer the meteorites are to the ground, the slower they are, even as slow as only a few dozen miles, but todayAfter that, the falling speed of all meteorites hardly slowed down.

What's even more terrifying is that it is extremely aggressive and often falls into areas where humans live.

And the human sky is gradually filled with meteorites that are ready to strike. If you use a telescope to see them, you will see them more clearly. Of course, you can also use a flashlight, but you can't see them so clearly.

Shang Nan took out the red flashlight from his pocket and randomly illuminated the position above his head. A dark meteorite trembled slightly, and the surrounding area was like a honeycomb.

Shannan's scalp felt numb.

"What's there to see? Isn't it the same every day?" Ning Yi bought a pack of fruit candies in the store and threw two into his mouth with a nonchalant look on his face. "The end of mankind is probably coming soon. Team leader, youAren’t you ready to run for your life?”

"Where are you escaping to?" Shang Nan said calmly.

"Whatever, there are so many space shuttles now, just drive one and go wherever you want," Ning Yi said.

Shannan thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, I want to stay here."

Ning Yi made a "cut" sound.

Returning to the observatory of the Academy of Sciences, Shang Nan continued to study aircraft materials that could carry the White Leopard star rock material away. He was an assistant, and all he could do was experiment. Constant experiments, design was the core, and it was not his and his turn.Ning Yi is a newcomer who is just starting out every two years.

Dr. Sky and the others had discovered the problem with this rock a long time ago. As soon as they discovered the problem, they decided to return it to the White Leopard Star. But the strange thing is that no matter what material is used to carry and wrap the rock, as long as it is released,If you enter the Academy of Sciences, you will be melted immediately, as if you were suddenly doused with lava.

If a human holds it with his hands, the flesh will melt in the same way.

As long as it is inside the Academy of Science, it will return to normal and turn into a normal black rock.

Shang Nan put on a total of three layers of radiation-proof clothing and a radiation-proof helmet, wrapped like a big white bear. He put the box made of new material steel in his hand on the ground and entered the password for the glass cabinet.

With a beep sound, the glass cabinet slid open automatically. The rock looked ordinary, and the uneven surface reflected a glaze-like luster under the light.

Shang Nan took a deep breath, stretched out his arms, and carefully picked up the black rock.

His breathing was heavy and not heavy, but he felt that his arms were sore from being pressed. He even felt a little dizzy. The hot breath he exhaled turned the mask and eye mask into a misty white color. He could already hear himself.Heavy breathing.

It wasn't until I put the rocks in the box and closed it that the dull and uncomfortable feeling became much better.

He walked out of the extremely low-temperature storage room, passed through the transition room, and finally came outside the corridor. There were many colleagues working in the glass rooms on both sides. Everyone had their own work to do. The observatory's work tasks ranged from several to several.In ten years, it has become more and more heavy and cumbersome, despite all aspects of their treatment, whether it is salary or social status, or other things.

However, there are still many people resigning every month. The work pressure is high and the expectations set by society are too high. However, the situation has not improved at all. The increasing sense of despair makes some people just want to go home and wait for death. Anyway, they can do it.It's all wasted effort.

The corridor slowly came to the end, and more and more of the gloomy sky outside the door was exposed. Shangnan's sight gradually became brighter. In fact, as long as the stone can be sent away first, Ning Yi's own body must not have radiation and gravity, otherwiseAll the humans who came into contact with him should have died long ago.

After finally walking the last few steps, Shang Nan stood outside the door. Before he could lower his head to check the contents of the box, Ning Yi's helpless words came from behind him, "Team leader, didn't you know the stone fell?"

Ning Yi was wearing radiation protection clothing. He stood inside the door, holding the black rock in his hand.

Shang Nan lowered his head in astonishment and turned the box over - there was a big burned hole at the bottom of the box.

Shannan lives alone in a community near the observatory. Many colleagues from the Academy of Sciences live here. It's not that he doesn't have money to live in a better house, but that at this time, those things have lost their meaning.

Being close makes it easy to participate in work at any time.

The original person looks like he can cook. There are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, but they are not fresh. The vegetables are yellow and the poultry is okay. It was frozen in a special refrigerator and has no taste.

He took out a bag of ribs and took out a few wilted potatoes from under the cabinet that had sprouted but even the buds were yellow. He soaked the potatoes in hot water and scraped the potato skins when the doorbell rang.

Outside the door was Ning Yi, carrying a bowl of cold skin and passing it over, "You bought it outside, do you want to eat it?"

"What are you doing?" Ning Yi glanced at the room.

Shang Nan took the cold skin and said, "I'm going to make potato ribs, but I seem to have forgotten how to do it."

"I remember you can cook?" Ning Yi asked suspiciously.

"Forgot, I might have been radiated by that stone." Shannan pointed to his head.

Ning Yi suddenly smiled, "That's right. After all, the last person responsible for this task died vomiting blood and couldn't stop it."

"I can do it, let me help you." Ning Yi stuffed cold skin into his mouth. He looked like a tall, handsome young man who was eager to help others. If it weren't for the 14 stamp, Shang Nan would not be able to reconcile the person in front of him with him.Monsters come to mind.

Shang Nan gives way.

Ning Yi took a step forward.

As soon as they took a step, the detectors on the two men suddenly emitted a high-pitched alarm sound, and a mechanical female voice in the room also sounded: "Meteorite 74 began to fall, meteorite 102 began to fall, and meteorite 71 is expected to fall 100 meters away from the lake next to the Academy of Sciences.Park, Meteorite 102 is expected to fall in Taoli County.”

"Meteorite 74 and meteorite 13 collided, the orbit shifted, and the fall position was calculated again. It is expected to take five seconds, countdown, 5, 4..."

A dark green light and shadow appeared on the sky nearby. It was extremely fast, and its light green tail was so long that it looked like a dagger inserted.

Behind Shang Nan, it was like the day suddenly lit up. He turned his head, and everything in front of him turned into bright white.

"Bang"!

"Team leader!"

The meteorite just happened to hit the roof of a residential building and landed in the greenery not far from the community. The relatively dense woods were suddenly burned red by the fire.

After the explosion ended, there was the sound of splashing rocks hitting the surrounding equipment.

The residential building whose roof was knocked off sent black smoke rising upwards.

The Academy of Sciences adjusted the angle of the lights. One light hit the impact point of the meteorite, and the other hit the building with black smoke.

"Save people first."

"What's going on with the Sky Patrol?"

The middle-aged man's thick instructions came from the radio.

Shang Nan was dizzy from the heat wave and impact. His chest was almost shattered. He was hit by a strong force and hit the wall directly. When he reacted, he was still standing with the half of the wall that was knocked away.at high altitude.

He fell quickly along with the wall.

But at this moment, a figure jumped down directly from above. Shannan didn't know if he had seen it wrong. He saw that Ning Yi could jump directly onto the walls, large and small, and finally came to him.

He showed his fangs when he smiled, looking unruly. He himself was injured, with a triangular piece of glass stuck in his eye, and half of his face was covered in blood.

"Team leader, you will die after eating potatoes and ribs."

He stretched his arms behind Shang Nan's waist, picked him up, and smashed the window on the seventh floor while holding him. The two of them rolled to the floor together.

The author has something to say:

Nannan: A hellish start
