I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 942: A witnessed asteroid (fourth)

William James was surprised.
He never imagined that he just took a 20-second video, uploaded it to YouTube, and then transferred it to his Twitter, which caused an uproar on the Internet.
He is not a big internet celebrity. There are no more than 100 people following him on Twitter. Most of them are his friends in reality, and some are mostly casual netizens. He did not expect that his video spread to major social platforms like a virus in just two hours after being uploaded. The original video hits easily exceeded 100,000, and is making rapid progress towards the 500,000 mark.
Happiness comes too suddenly and inexplicably.
William has n’t reacted to it yet, and just watched his tweets follow up.
Two hours ago, he found a shooting star outside the window of the space elevator.
Yes, it is a meteor!
As we all know, meteors are formed by meteorites rubbing in the atmosphere. There is no air in the universe, and naturally a gorgeous tail flame cannot be formed. He was sure that he had read it right, and that bright spot dragged a tail flame! In a dark universe, it is so conspicuous!
Unlike most civil airliners, when the altitude exceeds 100 kilometers, the space elevator can be connected to the network through the Quantum Communication Satellite of the Star Ring Trade, and the network speed is quite fast.
Click on the video he uploaded, he opened the comment page, and after watching the twenty-second video, netizens left their own amazing speeches.
"God! What do I see? There are meteors in outer space? Is n’t this a view that can only be seen in the atmosphere?"
"Do n’t watch it, my profession is Jian Huang. I have to watch thousands of videos a day. I can say very responsibly that this video is processed by PS! There are too many unreasonable places. So much so that I do n’t know where to start. ”
"Upstairs, you are not a real master of Huang Jian at all! I did the video appraisal for the court. From a professional point of view, there is no place for this video to be synthesized. In addition, PS is an image processing software. , Please read more books and speak online. "
"The **** is upstairs!"
William looked at the comments on the phone in a daze.
He never imagined that the video he uploaded would cause such intense discussion.
“The video uploader ’s Twitter name is William James. I ’ve seen it on the official website of Xinghuan Trading. The name of this person is on the list of foreign guests participating in the first pass! This video should be true, but Why can I still get online on the space elevator? "
"Are you a pig? There is internet in all areas covered by the Quantum satellites of the Star Ring Trade, and all places in the new country can be connected to free WiFi. You actually asked why you can get online."
It ’s such a result that makes him cry and laugh, just as he was about to use his Twitter account to post something, the voice of the elevator crew rang in his ears.
"This train Ch-001 is about to arrive at the station. During the deceleration of the train, the car will have upward gravity. To avoid accidents, please return to the cabin and fasten your seat belt. The current driving speed is 2.1 kilometers per second , The deceleration time is ... "
The angular velocity is constant. As the height increases, the linear velocity of the elevator itself will naturally increase. The macroscopic performance is that the farther away from the earth, the more obvious the weightlessness in the elevator. When the elevator travels to the synchronous track, the linear speed of the passengers and the elevator will also reach the speed of the synchronous track orbit, and the weight is completely lost at this time.
At the end deceleration, passengers move up according to inertia, and the G value of the gravity parameter in the cabin will become negative, and the ceiling and floor may be reversed. So the cabin crew warmly reminded the passengers to return to their seats and fasten their seat belts before entering the deceleration link.
William looked at the unedited Twitter on his phone and sighed helplessly, tucked the phone back in his pocket and sat back in his place. He made up his mind and waited until he reached the terminal space station, Star Ring City, and then responded to the comments about the explosion of curiosity.
......
The video was also seen by Jiang Chen, although it was a week after the video was uploaded. The popularity of the video even has a tendency to challenge the large-scale documentary "Space Elevator Trip" launched by the BBC, a star-ring trade cooperation media!
I have to say that human beings are gossip creatures.
Some people speculate that it is an alien spaceship, others speculate that it is a burning asteroid, and even more strange Huaguo netizens commented that it was a Taoist who was on a robbery.
However, Jiang Chen, who was lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone, saw the true identity of the UFO at a glance. What kind of spaceship is that thing, isn't that the Benu asteroid captured by the Star Ring Trade? ?
The technical team led by Kerwin a few days ago has dragged it into the Earth-Moon system, and is now making final minor adjustments to make it as close to the earth as possible.
The closer to the Earth Moon, the lower the mining cost. What Jiang Chen did not expect was that the rocket hanging in front of this asteroid could be seen so clearly in synchronous orbit? !
Jiang Chen suddenly had no drowsiness and sat up from the bed, leaning on the pillow in a comfortable position.
Finger swiped on the holographic screen, voice typed keywords, and Jiang Chen concentrated on browsing related news on the Internet.
Within two minutes, he found what he was looking for.
As early as the day after the video was uploaded, the White House received a petition to investigate the "outer meteor." In just five days, the petition's signature exceeded 100,000. According to regulations, the White House must reply if the number of signatures reaches 100,000.
The White House ’s approach was also very simple. It found Bolden, who had just returned from Canberra, and handed over the investigation to NASA. And NASA is not disappointing. After two days of investigation, NASA Director Bolden used the White House's official website to clarify the matter.
It has nothing to do with extraterrestrial civilizations, Martians, it is an asteroid. And the origin of this asteroid is not small. Its name is Benu. The scientific community predicts that it will collide with the earth at the end of the 22nd century.
A special mesh "net" hangs on the asteroid, with eight rocket engines in front of the net. The answer was revealed. The elongated light was not the asteroid's "tail" at all, but the flickering tail flame of the rocket flying in front of the asteroid.
The mystery was revealed, and the asteroid Benu was pulled into the Earth-Moon system from its original orbit. And all of this turned out to be artificial. It really made NASA's old experts shatter their glasses, and at the same time pinched the sweat for Mother Earth.
According to data observed by NASA, Benu orbits the sun at an average speed of 63,000 miles per hour, which is not inferior to the Earth's revolution speed. Collision with the earth will be equivalent to the detonation of 3 billion tons of explosives!
It ’s incomparable to the asteroid that extinct dinosaurs, but it ’s certainly enough for all humans to drink a pot!
Jiang Chen boarded the official website of the White House and glanced at the time when NASA published the report. It was exactly five o'clock this afternoon. At that time he had just signed the contract with the president of the Hilton Hotel, and then the two went to the Hilton hotel to have a meal together.
"No wonder I didn't receive any news at all. It was too coincident at this time," Jiang Chen murmured to himself, holding his chin and thinking.
He did n’t file a plan to capture the asteroid, because he did n’t think it was necessary at all. He did file it for trouble, and it did n’t do anything good except cause unnecessary panic.
Now this asteroid has attracted the attention of the United States, or the idea of the whole world. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that the eight rocket engines are masterpieces of the Star Ring Trade, but they all know with their buttocks, which company in the world can do this with aerospace technology.
SpaceX light is to send a detector to the asteroid to take rock samples, and it has already worked hard!
Either the aliens and the earth are joking, or the star ring trade is joking about all humans.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen squeezed his brows with a headache.
What should I do?
(To be continued.)
