Chapter 21: Hit by a meteorite
5 min read1,272 words
The Lucians did not save the Blue Star, the interception failed, or only part
of it succeeded.
As predicted in advance, the nuclear bomb smashed one of the three meteorites.
Although it also hit the other two, it did not break it. It only polished the
two meteorites. The meteorite is falling towards the Pacific Ocean.
According to astronomers' estimates, they will fall between Australia and
Hawaii.
But all this has nothing to do with Chen Xin. No matter where the meteorite
falls, two meteorites with a diameter of five kilometers are enough to cause a
global disaster, set off a cloud of dust, obscure the sky, and drag the whole
world into a long and cold one. Long night.
Now what Chen Xin can do is take a look at this sunny world one last time, and
then hurriedly hide into his refuge.
Because in the next dozens or even hundreds of years, there will be no more
sunlight on the surface. It is very likely that this will be the last time
Chen Xin saw the sun in his life.
In the sky at this time, in addition to the sun, there are two huge fireballs.
They are passing through the sky at a very fast speed and flying towards the
east.
On the trajectory of these two big fireballs, small bright spots like sparks
flew out from time to time, and also dragged a long trail across the sky.
Chen Xin knew that they were two meteorites about to hit the blue star. Those
flying Mars were nothing more than fragments peeled from the meteorite due to
atmospheric friction.
With the landing of these two meteorites, the Blue Star will usher in another
mass extinction, just like the fifth mass extinction of the Cretaceous 65
million years ago, more than 80% of the blue stars The creature will die, and
the entire ecosystem will collapse completely.
Whether the fate of mankind will be the same as the dinosaurs that ruled the
Blue Star back then, Chen Xin does not know.
If human beings can survive this crisis, then there is still a chance to
rebuild their homeland.
If not, then humans will become a stepping stone at the feet of a new
generation of blue star overlords just like the extinction of dinosaurs gave
up their dominance for mammals.
But this kind of thing that concerns the fate of the entire mankind is too far
away for Chen Xin, and it is not something he needs to consider. What he can
and can do now is to quickly enter his refuge and try to survive.
"Everyone, I have entered the shelter. If everyone can survive, please use the
shortwave radio to continue to contact us, and use the channel discussed
before." Chen Xin sent the last message in the survival group, watching
everyone say After thinking about the same thing for a while, he added another
sentence: "Life is endless and prosperous."
This is a congratulatory message from the Vulcan in the movie "Star Trek", but
now Chen Xin feels that there is no more suitable expectation and blessing.
Before the imminent crisis of extinction, what mankind needs is the endless
reproduction and prosperity again after this disaster.
Just when Chen Xin finished sending this message, watching everyone repeating
this sentence on the phone, and planning to enter the shelter with their own
things, suddenly there was a roar in the sky similar to the sound of an
airplane engine sliding overhead. sound.
Chen Xin hurriedly looked up, only to see a red flame in the sky hitting his
place.
is a meteorite!
Chen Xin reacted and hurriedly put away his mobile phone, holding the bedding
with the TV set in his hand, and ran towards the refuge. He couldn't help but
regret it, why did he delay this!
Can people run past meteorites?
This question is difficult to answer.
The fastest record for a man to run is 36.86 kilometers per hour. This speed
can’t be considered slow, but the speed of meteorites can easily change the
unit of time into seconds. There are many things in the universe that travel
tens of kilometers per second.
So people want to run faster than meteorites. Unless you are a superhero or
anime character with special abilities such as Flash or Kuaiyin, don't want to
compete with meteorites.
But if you simply avoid the impact of a meteorite, as long as the volume of
the meteorite does not exceed a certain limit, you can still run out of the
impact range and avoid being killed by the meteorite.
Chen Xin's luck seemed to be a little bit worse, because when he was close to
the door of the refuge, the meteorite that hit him in the direction had
already landed.
However, Chen Xin was not hit, but was pushed out by the impact of the
meteorite falling to the ground. The whole person fell to the ground, and the
TV set wrapped in bedding in his hand fell to the ground.
The roar of the impact caused Chen Xin's ears to have tinnitus. He pressed his
head firmly, and it took a long time to get over.
Looking at the scratched palm, feeling the pain of his whole body from the
impact, he didn't even have the mood of cursing and rejoicing.
A little embarrassed, he got up from the ground and checked whether the TV set
in the bedding was broken, and Chen Xin was relieved.
Fortunately, the bedding was wrapped, there were pillows inside, and the TV
was not broken.
Wrapped the TV again~www.mtlnovel.com~ and opened the door of the refuge. Chen
Xin stood at the door and hesitated, then put down the TV, turned and stumbled
towards the direction where the meteorite fell. .
can hit the ground and cause an impact, so in nine out of ten there are
meteorites that will not be completely burned out by the atmosphere.
The meteorites that can fall on the blue star at this time are basically the
fragments of the two large meteorites in the sky now, even if they are not
part of the original meteorite with a diameter of ten kilometers.
When this meteorite is about to bring about the end of the world, it seems to
be a good thing to pick up a piece of this meteorite as a memorial.
If it were normal, Chen Xin would definitely not have this idea.
But now that meteorites fall in front of me, this kind of inexhaustible thing
will only happen when the whole world is going to be hit by meteorites. If I
don’t pick up a meteorite as a memorial, I won’t know if there will be any.
Next time.
The meteorite smashed by looks small, because there is only a crater about ten
meters in diameter, except for a trace plowed by the meteorite about several
tens of meters in length.
The impact lifted up all the soil near the landing point and squeezed it
aside. At the bottom of the pit, there was a slightly burnt trace, which
seemed to be still steaming.
Chen Xin climbed down, and the heat generated by the impact could still be
felt at the bottom of the crater, but he was really concerned about whether
the meteorite could be found.
However, Chen Xin did not expect that there was something at the bottom of the
crater, but it did not look like a meteorite.
Because meteorites cannot be standard spheres anyway, nor can they emit light.
What the ** is this? Chen Xin stopped in fear.
