Chapter 685: The Carnival Before The Storm

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

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

On the night of October 13th, an extraordinary day, the news reported that tonight, the largest meteor shower in 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, wishing and praying, but everyone who has nothing to do has made an appointment with classmates and friends to watch the meteor shower in a wide view.

On the school playground, a group of students lying on the grass of the football field are looking at the night sky to talk about their ideals in life, talk about friendship and love, talk about the international trend, and argue about time and space. It is very lively.

On the seaside with a wide view, one by one camping stargazing fellows are guarding the campfire, looking at the sky from time to time, talking and laughing, waiting for the meteor shower to come.

A pair of lovers on the bottom of the sea are cuddling and waiting for each other.

Countless professional photographers have already brought their equipment and set up their cameras in a wide view, looking forward to this rare Orion 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 can you wish for?"

"Nonsense, of course it is world peace. This wishing activity was initiated for the chaos in Africa and South America."

"World peace, what does it matter to me?"

"If the meteor is falling for desire, then as long as you look up, you will find that life is as brilliant as a meteor shower."

"Wish I get rich overnight."

"Wish God gave me a handsome guy."

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

The meteor shower has not really started. There have been various comments and discussions about wishing on the Internet, social platforms and in the circle of friends.All kinds of pictures spread on social platforms and circle of friends, all kinds of weird wishes, all kinds of complaints, all kinds of sick groans.

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

Africa and South America are immersed in chaotic struggles. 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 very peaceful.

There are still three hours before the meteor shower reaches the earth. No one is paying attention to the earth. The moon has already ushered in the meteor shower first.

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

Even astronomers in the anthole are secretly stunned by this high-intensity meteorite rain.Fortunately, there is no atmosphere on the surface of the moon, otherwise the shock wave generated by this kind of impact will certainly not be small.

Each space meteorite weighing 40 kilograms is equivalent to twenty cruise missiles. Now thousands of meteorites, large and small, are bombarding the surface of the moon.

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

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

They are all waiting to see if there are any meteorites falling near the base.Meteorites that have not been burned by the atmosphere have more research value than meteorites that have fallen into the earth, and are very helpful to their research.

"I don't know if a meteorite will fall near the base?" Bi Shichen sighed.

"Do you want to send an alert back to the earth? This meteorite shower is probably much bigger than expected." Another scientist said.

"The alarm has been there 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 you won the lottery.

A few people say something to you.

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

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

"Commander, the satellite detected a meteorite that fell on the plain of F14 area 80 kilometers away from the base. The earth has approved the request and can send robots to search."

The artificial intelligence at the moon base marks the place where the meteorite falls.

Shi Dongting's spirit was shaken, his waist straightened.

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

"Satsuki, calculate the time it takes for the transportation robot to reach the F14 area."

"Two hours."

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

...

Incense Burner Bay Villa.

Controlled nuclear fusion is popularized, new energy vehicles are popularized, and many heavily polluting industries have also been eliminated. The role of environmental protection policies is obvious.

Now in large cities, the starry night sky can be clearly seen in places where light pollution is not serious.

Chen Mo, Xiao Yu, Zhao Min and others also waited and played on the grass, and the atmosphere was pleasant.A robot is responsible for the barbecue, and several people can play games freely.

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

But one thing remains the same. He loves to eat sweets given by Zhao Min. He has loved it since he was a child and has a close relationship with Zhao Min.

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

"Dad, when will you and your mother give birth to a younger brother for me to play?" No two sides said while drawing cards.

"amount?"

"Uh!"

Chen Mo and Xiao Yu were a little surprised by Wushuang's sudden problem, but Zhao Min was too happy to be on the sidelines.

"Aunt Mo can't give birth, otherwise Aunt Mo and Dad will give birth."

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

"People are big, little ghosts." Xiao Yu flicked Wushuang's head directly, and couldn't help but become happy: "Is my brother born for you to play?"

"Brother used it to play." Wushuang touched Xiao Yubo's forehead, laughed out of the dimples, and directly drew a card from Xiao Yu's hand, formed a pair and put it in the deck: "Mom, you lost , Sticker strip, giggle..."

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

"This is called a diversion duck."

"Hahahaha..."

Chen Mo and Zhao Min couldn't help laughing, and Mo Nu lightly smiled.

"Mom, grandparents and grandparents all said that there are few males in the family and they are not good at urging you and Dad, but you must hurry up and give me a brother to play, otherwise..." The little girl's eyes turned wildly and her smile was very sweet. .

"Otherwise how?"

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

"I also learned to be mysterious." Xiao Yu flicked her forehead again: "Go and get a bottle of drink for mom."

"Yes."

At the end of the game, a few people sat on the grass and chatted, looking at the sky, Wushuanglai was talking and laughing on Zhao Min.

They are now just a little bigger than ordinary people, and their lives are still very normal. Chen Mo is a two-pointer at home and company, and occasionally takes time off to go out to play or socialize. This kind of opportunity to watch the stars with his family is also rare.

"Auntie Min, let me tell you about the wishes I want to make when I see the meteor. There are many, do you want to listen to the duck?" Wushuang lay on Zhao Min, smiling.

"Can't mom listen?"

"No, I only talk to Aunt Min."

Xiao Yu couldn't laugh or cry. Sometimes she wondered if this daughter was her own.

Wushuang attached to Zhao Min’s ears, whispered, and was tickled by Zhao Min before he finished speaking. The two became a group. After a while, the flames of war spread to Xiaoyu and Mo Nu. Wushuang is the flavor of this family. Agent.

Chen Mo watched them play, unspeakably relaxed.

Suddenly, a bright meteor flashed across the starry sky and passed away in a flash.

"The meteor shower is here."

When the first meteor appeared, there were countless bright moments when it pierced the starry sky.On the rooftops, playgrounds, grasslands, beaches, breezy mountain tops, and salty air at the seashore, countless people looked up and made their wishes.

Just outside the earth, meteorite streams are approaching the earth’s atmosphere at an incredible speed.

If someone can see the meteorite stream clearly, they will be shocked. The meteorite stream is mixed with spacecraft wrecks of different sizes, broken wrecks, cryo-chambers, and strange corpses, which are approaching the earth’s atmosphere rapidly. .

A meteor shower that shocked the world will soon be staged.
