Watson, America.
" Di di!!"
The red alert rang throughout the entire space agency, and the ear-piercing sound made everyone nervous.
Clack clack clack…
Countless people were holding documents and walking quickly along the corridor.
"Sir, Traveler One was shattered by an unknown existence a few days ago, causing tremors. The police are asking for a detailed report!”
"Sir, today, the Hubble telescope discovered a set of pictures. An unknown existence has been discovered near the rear of Pluto and is rushing towards Earth!”
"It is estimated to arrive on Earth today!”
"Sir, I need to apply for the right to use the quantum computer to calculate the data. It only takes half an hour, no, fifteen minutes!”
"Sir, I…"
"Sir…"
In the central conference hall of the National Space Administration, the middle-aged man in a suit was surrounded by a group of people who were chattering.
The middle-aged man held his head that was about to explode. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and stared at a photo. It was a photo of Pluto's vicinity. There was a light coming from afar.
Today, he had woken up in a frenzy. His phone had been ringing non-stop, and his mind was in a mess.
In the end, the middle-aged man raised his hand and slammed the document on the table in a frenzy.
"Clang!"
"Shut up!"
"Tell me one by one! Also, who can explain to me what this light spot is!”
……
At the same time, in the Eagle Country's Lundun Space Agency.
Countless people were in a hurry.
In the emergency meeting hall at the core, a dozen elders sat there.
They were all top scholars in Western Europe and famous professors at the University of Cambridge.
Astronomists, physicists, mathematicians…
They were knowledgeable, and each of them was famous around the world. They had won countless awards and were known as living treasures.
But today, all of them had been captured by force.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The British Space Agency's director was a shrewd middle-aged man. He smiled and used the crisp sound of his palm to attract everyone's attention, successfully making the old people look at him.
" I hope that the Eagle Country's government can give us a reasonable explanation. An old man who was about to die was brought here by violence during morning tea. It will make many people feel disgusted.”an old man said coldly.
"Of course. Everyone here is my senior. I'm sorry to have forced everyone here. This happened so suddenly, so I apologize in advance.”
The middle-aged man bowed slightly and then raised his head.
His smile disappeared. He looked around and became serious.
"Everyone knows that Voyager 1 is the 'pathfinder', right? In reality, it had already flown out of the solar system, and a few days ago, it shattered.”
The old scholars looked at each other.
Shattered?
" Although Voyager 1 was a product from forty years ago, it almost consumed the scientific power of the entire world at that time to choose an absolutely safe route. It would not encounter meteors or meteorites for at least hundreds of years, and it would not be captured by the gravity of the planet.”
An old mathematician snorted.
"How could it break?"
" But the truth is right in front of you. There are a few photos in front of you. They were taken before Voyager 1 broke.”
The group of old people frowned slightly and picked up the photo to look at it.
With just one glance, the expressions of these old men instantly changed drastically!
The photo was very blurry, as if it had been taken in a hurry. Only a blurry shadow could be seen.
Faint starlight circulated around that thing!
Inch by inch, countless stars surrounded it. This thing that should have been invisible seemed to have become corporeal in the photo!
Although it was not clear, anyone who saw this photo would feel an inexplicable sense of oppression!
Their breathing quickened and their hearts beat faster. Everyone subconsciously wanted to look away!
It was like an ant meeting a dragon, not daring to look directly at it!
What was this?
Could it be…a meteorite?
At this moment, everyone had the same thought.
Swallowing their saliva, the dissatisfaction in their hearts from being forcefully called over dissipated into thin air.
A sense of fear surged in his heart!
"I believe everyone understands a little, right?"
"In other words, the photo in our hands is the last photo of the traveler?”
He was a white-haired old man. He had a standard British gentleman's charm. He had gold-rimmed eyes and deep eyes. He was a famous physicist and mathematician.
"Yes, this photo is not very clear, but it was indeed left behind by Voyager 1 before it was destroyed.”
Many old scholars looked at each other and saw the solemnity in their eyes.
This photo gave them a great sense of oppression, making them palpitate and inexplicably panic.
"Then, what's in this photo? It seems to be a meteorite?" An old physicist said. He was a Nobel Prize winner and had a high reputation internationally.
The British space chief slowly pressed a button, and a blue three-dimensional projection appeared in the middle of the table. The nine planets revolved around the sun, and it was vivid.
Everyone looked over.
Some people were baffled and did not know what was going on.
Some people's pupils constricted.
Whoosh!
"Wait!" An old Astronomist suddenly stood up and clenched his fists. His expression changed as he pointed at a spot of light and spoke in a low voice.
"What is this dot of light? I don't remember this being near Pluto.”
"I don't remember this light spot either. From the light it emits…it's at least the size of two London.”
Another old Astronomist pushed up his glasses and spoke in a low and trembling voice.
They were the world's top astrologers and knew the star map of the solar system like the back of their hands.
" This dot of light…didn't exist before?"
The people in the room were all elites of society, and none of them were simple. Everyone could hear something and had some guesses. After thinking for a while, their expressions changed subtly.
An old man was silent for a while before turning his head to look.
"Could this light spot be the thing in the photo?”
Everyone looked over.
The British Space Agency Director took a deep breath." This light spot was taken this morning at 3 am London time.”
" It's wrapped in flames and light. We can't identify it with our current technology. By inference, it's about the size of two New York.”
"It is now twelve o'clock in Lundun time, and it has already arrived near Jupiter.”
The director of the Space Administration paused and sighed." After our speculation, this light spot is the same as the one in the photo.”
"According to the trajectory, it should have smashed into Voyager 1 and then charged straight at us.”
"Everyone here is a top scientific talent. What do you think?”
Silence.
It was deathly silent.
In the room, there was only a slight hum from the 3D projection machine.
After a long time, an old man tapped the table lightly.
"Let me confirm this again. You mean that this thing took eight hours to travel half the solar system?”
The middle-aged man from the National Space Administration smiled bitterly and nodded.
"To be exact, it was eight hours and thirty minutes.”
Pa!
The old man's eyes were lifeless as he fell back into his chair weakly." Eight hours…"
Not only him, but the group of scholars around him also collapsed in their seats with ugly expressions.
" In just eight hours, we crossed half the solar system…"
"It's ten times faster than the speed of sound. When the dinosaurs went extinct hundreds of millions of years ago, that meteorite's speed was only about this, right?”
" If that meteorite hits Earth at this speed…"
At this point, everyone felt their scalps go numb.
It would definitely be a devastating disaster!
Earth might not be damaged, but human civilization…would most likely perish!
It would be best if he could go back more than a thousand years!
This was not a joke!
The impact of such a high-speed meteorite would be devastating!
The meeting room was silent. Everyone was shocked by this news!
Meteorite attack on Earth, such an absurd thing, would it really happen?
What should he do?
The room fell into a strange silence.
"Beep beep beep!"
The computer in the conference room suddenly rang, and an old man appeared on the screen.
He was an old man in the Eagle Country's Space Bureau. He had been in charge of observing the outside world for many years and had published countless papers. He was knowledgeable and famous for his indifference.
But now, his breathing was disordered and he was extremely anxious.
"Everyone, are you all talking about the meteorite next to Pluto?”
"It suddenly accelerated!"
"The estimated time has been brought forward. It will arrive on Earth around this evening! Collision!"
