Chapter 336: NASA
The mushroom cloud set off by the impact was nearly ten meters high, and it was clearly visible in the moonlight and starlight, and the red color was faintly visible.
The sound shook the glass, and the water in the fountain pool poured out in all directions, and Pooh did not stand still, but sat on the back of Jenny Turtle, screaming in pain.
McDull was frightened, staring at it sluggishly, Fat Ding ran and rolled to Han Xuan's feet, desperately hugged his calf, which happened to be the wound he hit before, gasped in pain, and bent down to pick it up.
After the mushroom cloud lifted, everyone was worried, and Martinez said: "How much does Meteor like our Snow Mountain Ranch? That big guy just now is no less powerful than a bomb! It would be terrible if it fell in a crowded place!"
"Get out of here, you crow's mouth!" said old Barton growled, looking up with sorrow on his face, not thinking that those beautiful shooting stars with their little tails were now a nuisance.
"Let's go over and have a look?" Han Xuan's eyes lit up and he suggested.
Jason hurriedly dismissed his thoughts: "No! I'm not sure what it is, it's dark now, I can't see clearly, it may be dangerous." ”
"But this kind of thing is very difficult to encounter, maybe another superman has come to Earth from Krypton, and last time it didn't fall on the farm in Small, Kansas. ”
"You know, that's a comic ......"
George couldn't cry or laugh when he heard the boy's nonsense, and he only had the right to suggest, and looked to the other side.
Father Han looked at him, he was not a stable character, and when he encountered this kind of thing, his heart was like 100,000 cats scratching, itching so much, he clapped his hands and decided, "Go and see!
"Okay!" Anderson asked the pregnant Cheryl to stay first, Guo's mother volunteered to take care of her, and the others went.
Many people didn't come by car, and they were all crammed into the back of Anderson's pickup.
Han Xuan ran to the garage to drive. My father had drunk alcohol, so he found a few flashlights in the warehouse next to him, and after more than a minute, he set off quickly.
The car drove very fast, and it took more than two minutes to approach the direction in which the thing fell in memory. In the distance, I saw a pit glowing with a dim fiery red glow.
Seeing this strange sight, no one dared to walk over it, John pointed to the small hill not far to the north of it: "Go up there." ”
Han Xuan took the lead in running north, the small hill was more than ten meters high, and his villa could just be seen in the cracks of several hills, no wonder he could see the mushroom cloud.
The grass had been eaten by cows, and it was not very tall, and his shoes cooed on the stumps, and Jason helped him up to the top of the fairly flat hills. The lights were deliberately not turned off, and the flashlight was not used.
Han Xuan was shocked! A large pit with a diameter of about fifteen meters appeared in his field of vision!
There was a deeper crater in the center, estimated to be about three meters long, with a dark red glow and white smoke coming out of it.
"What a big meteorite!"
"Where are the meteorites?" asked Daddy probe.
"Smashed into the ground, don't you see it's glowing, and the friction with the atmosphere is red!"
"No wonder it was like an earthquake. Something so big ...... smash down," Martinez was terrified, as long as he went a kilometer further east. This thing can hit them, the big pit outside is more than four meters deep, and the one in the middle doesn't know how many.
Han Xuan took a camera when he got out of the car, and now he is holding it up to take a few photos, which are estimated to be in contact with groundwater, and a strong cloud of water vapor comes out of the pit more than three meters away. With the sizzling sound, the red light gradually faded away.
"I can go back now, I always feel uneasy when it's too close, after all, it's from space, I'm afraid of any harm. "After watching it for a few minutes. Jason said, in a earnest tone.
"Well, let's go, find someone to check it and come back, I finally saw a ghost after living so big, and this kind of thing can fall in my house." Daddy hugged Han Xuan excitedly, "How big do you think it can be?"
"I don't know, depending on the shape, it should be at least five tons......
Still unsatisfied, they discussed the matter loudly on the way, and went home after saying goodbye.
After taking a shower and standing on the balcony, the meteor shower has ended, and the calculation time lasted for more than two hours, during which a total of more than 400 meteors slipped down, which is relatively large.
Han Xuan saw that the alarm clock was pointing to one point, dozed off, stretched his waist and lay on the bed.
I couldn't sleep under the excitement, and I whispered to count the fat dings in my mouth, and I didn't fall asleep until I counted more than 900 fat dings.
At this time, a few hundred kilometers away from the city of Billings.
In a small three-story building in the suburbs, a middle-aged woman sleeps with her hands folded and her head resting on a table.
Many of the surrounding objects bear blue-red signs that say NASA in English.
NASA.
A federal administrative research institute responsible for the research of the Apollo program, the Gemini program, the space shuttle, the International Space Station, and other projects.
She heard the phone ringing on the table, reached out and grabbed it irritably, and said angrily: "What time is it and still call, the Auricorn meteor shower has not all passed!"
"What! I'm going to tell the Director now!"
I didn't know what I heard, so I stood up in shock and hurriedly replied.
After putting on his flat leather shoes and walking a few steps, another phone rang, turned back and picked it up, and said: "The Keck Observatory has already said it, I know, I'll give it back to you later!"
The footsteps were hurried, and a few people were gathering together to laugh and talk, and when they saw her anxious look, they laughed: "Nicole!
"Fart! I have something important!" the woman dropped the sentence, hurried upstairs, climbed to the third floor, turned left, pushed open the door of the room, and reached out to turn on the light.
An old man in his fifties with slightly dark skin, his eyelids moved, he rolled his body and lay on his side, pulling the quilt with his hands, covering his arms over his eyes, and humming unconsciously.
The middle-aged woman named Nichole stepped forward and shook him vigorously, "Dad, wake up, wake up!"
"What are you doing!" cried the old man angrily, looking at the time, "I've only slept for twenty minutes!"
"I didn't just fall asleep and was woken up!
The Keck Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope Observatory called us, and a piece of other meteorite was mixed in with the Auridoid meteor shower and fell on our western Montana! They told us to find it, and it was very large!"
"Really?!Didn't you say it sooner!" Director Robbie lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walking out in only his pajamas, asking her as he went, "Do you know the exact location?"
"I don't know, the impact of such a big meteorite must be not small, I'll ask the Earthquake Bureau if there are any abnormal fluctuations. ”
"Well, go ahead. ”
Coming to the first floor, Robbie clapped his hands, "Pack your things!
Today, there are many amateur astronomers who are also observing the Auridodian meteor shower, and it is estimated that they have all seen it, and we must find it before those people!
Mars, you go and contact the military, ask them to send a local garrison to search, and then arrange for a helicopter to come over, hurry!"
"Dad, there's an earthquake! Near Flathead National Forest, the instruments in several small towns over there have sounded the alarm, and the earthquake intensity is 2.7!"
"Over there, I think it's all private ranch" (To be continued.) )
