Chapter 686: Carnival Before the Storm

The half moon hangs in the sky, and the sky is full of stars.

It is late autumn, the clouds are thin and the wind is clear, which is a good day for stargazing.

On the evening of October 13, an extraordinary day, news reports that tonight, the largest meteor shower in the constellation Orion will arrive as scheduled.

This will be the largest meteor shower ever detected.

Various social platforms and circles of friends are pushing the topic of meteor showers, making wishes and prayers, but everyone who has nothing to do will invite classmates and friends to watch the meteors in a place with a wide field of vision.

On the school playground, groups of students lying on the grass of the football field were looking at the night sky and talking about their ideals in life, about friendship and love, about international trends, and debating the space-time universe. It was very lively.

On the beach with a wide field of vision, all the ALICE camping stargazers are guarding the bonfire, looking at the sky from time to time, talking and laughing, waiting for the meteor shower to arrive.

A pair of lovers at the bottom of the sea are leaning against each other and waiting for each other.

Countless professional photographers have already brought their equipment and set up cameras in places with a wide field of view, looking forward to this rare Orionid meteor shower.

Rooftops, parks, campuses, mountains, grasslands.

Students, urban white-collar workers, photographers, astronomy enthusiasts, researchers.

Countless people are waiting.

"Wait for the meteor to come, what wish would you make?"

"Nonsense, of course world peace. This wish-making event was launched for the chaos in Africa and South America."

"World peace, what does it have to do with me?"

"If meteors fall for a wish, then just look up and you'll find that life is as brilliant as a meteor shower."

"May I become rich overnight."

"I wish God would give me a handsome guy."

"People think that making a wish on a shooting star can come true, but they don't know that the fleeting shooting star is just God's tears for the fallen. Does God want to cry for the world?"

The meteor shower didn't really start,

On the Internet, on social platforms and in the circle of friends, various comments and discussions about wishing have appeared. All kinds of pictures spread on social platforms and circles of friends, all kinds of strange wishes, all kinds of complaints, all kinds of fussing.

This is a global topic, and it will be the longest and most numerous meteor shower for so many years.

Africa and South America, immersed in chaotic struggle, on the brink of war, other countries and regions, are waiting for this romantic meteor shower, a carnival before the storm.

The world is still peaceful.

There are still three hours before the meteor shower reaches the earth, and no one pays attention to the earth, and the moon has taken the lead in ushering in the meteorite shower.

A space meteorite from the constellation Orion is hitting the moon head-on at a speed of 130,000 kilometers per hour.

Even the astronomers in the ant cave were stunned by this high-intensity meteorite rain. Fortunately, there is no atmosphere on the surface of the moon, otherwise the shock wave generated by such an impact would definitely not be small.

Each space meteorite weighing 40 kilograms is equivalent to twenty cruise missiles, and now thousands of meteorites of various sizes are bombing the surface of the moon.

This is the largest meteorite shower discovered in the history of monitoring, and thousands of meteorites are falling.

Including Shi Dongting, the six scientists currently stationed on the moon are gathered in the satellite center of the moon base.

They were all waiting to see if any meteorites landed near the base. Meteorites that have not been burned in the atmosphere are more valuable for research than those that fell into the earth, and are very helpful to their research.

"I wonder if there will be meteorites falling near the base?" Bi Shichen exclaimed.

"Would you like to send an alarm back to the earth? This meteorite shower is probably much bigger than expected." Another scientist said.

"The alarm has been in place for a long time. People on Earth are now waiting to see the meteor shower. There is only romance. Few people care about the alarm. But if you are hit by a meteorite, you can only say that you have won the lottery."

A few people, you speak to me.

Shi Dongting was sitting on the main chair, paying close attention to various situations.

Now he is the head of the base. In special circumstances, he must always pay attention to the situation of the base. If a meteorite falls on their base, it is not a joke.

"Commander, the satellite detected that there was a meteorite that fell on the plain area of ​​the f14 area 80 kilometers away from the base. The earth has passed the request and can send robots to search."

The artificial intelligence of the lunar base marks the place where the meteorite fell.

Shi Dongting's spirit was shocked, and his back was straight.

Several scientists on the field were all excited and looked at Shi Dongting: "Commander..."

"Xiaoyue, calculate the time it takes for the transport robot to reach the f14 area."

"Two hours."

"Send the No. 7 transport robot to the crash site and bring the meteorite back." Shi Dongting decided immediately.

...

Incense Burner Bay Villa.

With the popularization of controlled nuclear fusion, the popularization of new energy vehicles, and the elimination of many heavily polluting industries, the role of environmental protection policies is obvious.

Now in big cities, where the light pollution is not serious, you can clearly see the starry night sky.

Chen Mo, Xiao Yu, Zhao Min and others also waited and played on the grass, and the atmosphere was pleasant. There is a robot in charge of the barbecue, and several people can play games freely.

Wushuang has passed her tenth birthday. She is much taller, slim, and very delicate. She looks much prettier than her mother when she was a child, with a little baby fat on her small face, which looks very cute. In terms of learning, Wushuang, who is over ten years old, has almost finished high school knowledge, so now he knows everything. Looks like a little adult.

But one thing remains the same, I love to eat the candy from Zhao Min, I love to eat it since I was a child, and I have a close relationship with Zhao Min.

Several people are on the grass, drawing cards and stickers.

"Dad, when will you and mother have a younger brother to play with me?" Wu Bi-sided said while drawing cards.

"Forehead?"

"Uh!"

Chen Mo and Xiaoyu were a little surprised by Wushuang's sudden question, but Zhao Min was overjoyed.

"Aunt Mo can't give birth, otherwise, Aunt Mo and father will be born."

"Haha..." Zhao Min couldn't help laughing.

"The little devil is big." Xiao Yu directly flicked Wushuang's head, and he couldn't help laughing: "Is it for you to have a younger brother?"

"My brother just used it to play." Wushuang touched the forehead of Xiao Yubun, laughed out of his dimple, and directly took a card from Xiaoyu's hand, combined a pair and put it in the deck: "Mom, you lost. , stickers, giggles..."

"You actually took the opportunity to peek at your mother's card?"

"It's called a distraction duck."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Chen Mo and Zhao Min couldn't help laughing, and Mo Nv also laughed softly.

"Mom, grandparents and grandparents all said that there are few males in the family, they can't rush you and dad, but you have to give me a younger brother to play with, otherwise..." The little girl rolled her eyes and smiled very sweetly. .

"How about otherwise?"

"I won't tell you, I will tell Aunt Min quietly."

"I've learned to be mysterious." Xiaoyu flicked her forehead again: "Go and get mom a drink."

"As ordered."

At the end of the game, a few people sat on the grass chatting, looking at the sky, Wushuang leaned on Zhao Min, talking and laughing.

They only have a bigger house than ordinary people now, and their lives are still very ordinary. Chen Mo is a two-point line between home and company. Occasionally, he takes time off to go out to play or socialize. This kind of opportunity to watch the stars with his family is also rare.

"Aunt Min, let me tell you about the wishes that I want to make when I see Meteor, there are many, do you want to listen to the duck?" Wushuang lay on Zhao Min and said with a smile.

"Can't Mommy listen?"

"No, I only tell Aunt Min."

Xiaoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, sometimes she wondered if the daughter was her own.

Wushuang was attached to Zhao Min's ear, whispering softly, and Zhao Min tickled before he finished speaking. The two got into a fight. It didn't take long for the war to spread to Xiaoyu and Mo Nu. Wushuang is the seasoning of this family. agent.

Chen Mo watched them play with ease.

Suddenly, a bright meteor streaked across the starry sky and disappeared in a flash.

"Meteor shower is coming."

When the first meteor appeared, there were countless dazzling moments that saw it cut through the starry sky. Rooftops, playgrounds, grass, beaches, mountain tops with gentle breezes, and seaside with salty air, countless people raised their heads and made their wishes.

Beyond Earth, streams of meteorites are approaching Earth's atmosphere at incredible speeds.

If anyone can see the meteorite flow clearly, they will be shocked. The meteorite flow is mixed with the wreckage of spacecraft of different sizes, broken wreckage, freezer compartments, and peculiar corpses, which are rapidly approaching the earth's atmosphere. .

A meteor shower that shocked the world is about to unfold.
