William James was surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He never imagined that he would make an uproar on the Internet by just shooting a 20-second video, uploading it to YouTube, and then moving it to his Twitter.

He is not an Internet celebrity, and there are no more than 100 people who follow him on Twitter, most of whom are his friends in reality, and some are casual netizens. He never expected that his video would spread to major social platforms like a virus in just two hours after it was uploaded. The number of clicks on the original video has easily exceeded 100,000, and it is advancing by leaps and bounds towards the 500,000 mark.

Happiness came too suddenly, too inexplicably.

Before William could react to what was going on, he watched his Twitter followers go up.

Two hours ago, he spotted a meteor outside the window of a space elevator.

That's right, it's a shooting star!

As we all know, meteors are formed by the friction of meteorites in the atmosphere, and there is no air in the universe at all, so it is naturally impossible to form a brilliant tail flame. He was sure that he was not mistaken, that bright spot dragged a tail flame!

Unlike most civil airliners, when the altitude exceeds 100 kilometers, the space elevator can be connected to the network through Transwarp Trade's quantum communication satellite, and the network speed is quite fast.

Clicking on the video he uploaded, he opened the comment page, and after watching this 20-second video, netizens left their own amazing speeches.

"God, what did I see? There could be shooting stars in outer space? Isn't this a sight that can only be seen in the atmosphere?"

"Don't watch, everyone, my profession is a pornography connoisseur, and I watch tens of thousands of videos a day. I can responsibly say that this video is PS-processed! There are so many unreasonable places that I don't know where to start. ”

"Upstairs, you're not really a pornography expert at all! I'm doing a video appraisal for the court, and from a professional point of view, there is no synthetic place in this video. In addition, PS is image processing software, please read more books and speak on the Internet. ”

"There's a great god upstairs!"

William looked at the lines of comments on his phone in a daze.

He never imagined that the video he uploaded would cause such a heated discussion.

"The name of the person who uploaded the video on Twitter is William James, I went to the official website of Transwarp Trade to see it, and the name of this person is on the list of foreign guests who participated in the first train! This video should be true, but why is there still Internet access on the space elevator?"

"Are you a pig? Transwarp Trade's quantum communication satellites cover the Internet, and all places in the new country can connect to free wifi, and you actually ask why you can access the Internet. ”

He couldn't laugh or cry that this would happen, and just as he was about to post something on his Twitter account, the voice of the elevator attendant rang in his ears.

"This time, the CH-001 train is about to arrive at the station, and during the train deceleration link, the carriage will have an upward gravity. To avoid accidents, passengers are asked to return to the cabin and fasten their seat belts. The current travel speed is 2.1 km/s, and the deceleration time is ......"

The angular velocity is constant, and as the height rises, the linear velocity of the elevator itself naturally increases. On a macro scale, 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 around the synchronous track, which is completely weightless.

In the terminal deceleration link, the passengers will go up according to the inertia, and the g value of the gravity parameters in the carriage will become negative, and the ceiling and floor may be reversed. Therefore, the flight attendant warmly reminded the passengers to return to their seats and fasten their seat belts before entering the deceleration link.

William looked at the unedited tweets on his phone, sighed helplessly, tucked the phone back into his pocket, and returned to his place to sit down. He made up his mind to wait until he arrived at the terminal space station, Star Ring City, to reply to the comments that exploded with curiosity.

……

The video was also seen by Jiang Chen, although it was a week after the video was uploaded. The popularity of this video even faintly challenges the trend of the large-scale documentary "Space Elevator Trip" launched by Transwarp Trade Cooperation Media BBC!

It has to be said that humans are gossip creatures.

Some people speculate that it was an alien spaceship, others speculated that it was a burning asteroid, and even more funny Chinese netizens commented that it was a Taoist friend who was crossing the catastrophe.

However, Jiang Chen, who was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, saw through 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 Ring Trade!?

A few days ago, the technical team led by Kerrwyn had dragged it into the Earth-Moon system, and are now making the final minor adjustments to bring it as close to Earth as possible.

The closer to the Earth Moon, the lower the cost of mining. It's just that what Jiang Chen didn't expect was that the rocket hanging in front of this asteroid could be seen so clearly in synchronous orbit?!

Jiang Chen suddenly felt sleepy, sat up from the bed, and changed to a comfortable position to lean on the pillow.

His fingers swiped across the holographic screen, his voice typed in the key words, and Jiang Chen concentrated on browsing the relevant news on the Internet.

Within two minutes, he had 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 "extraterrestrial meteor." In just five days, the petition surpassed 100,000 signatures. According to the rules, when the number of signatures reaches 100,000, the White House must respond.

The White House's approach was also very simple, finding Bolden, who had just returned from Canberra, and handing over the task of investigation to NASA. After two days of investigation, NASA Director Bolden clarified the matter through the official website of the White House.

It has nothing to do with any extraterrestrial civilization, the Martians, that is an asteroid. And the origin of this asteroid is not small, its name is Bennu, and the scientific community predicts that it will collide with the Earth at the end of the 22nd century.

On top of the asteroid is a special "net", and in front of the net are eight rocket engines. The mystery was revealed, and the elongated light was not the "tail" of the asteroid at all, but the flickering tail flame of the rocket flying in front of the asteroid.

The mystery was revealed, and the Bennu asteroid was pulled from its original orbit into the Earth-Moon system. And all this turned out to be artificial, which really made NASA's old experts shatter their glasses, and at the same time sweated for Mother Earth.

According to NASA observations, Bennu orbits the Sun at an average of 63,000 miles per hour at a speed comparable to the Earth's rotational speed, and a collision with the Earth would be equivalent to detonating 3 billion tons of explosives!

It's not comparable to the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, but it's certainly enough for all mankind to drink a pot!

Jiang Chen boarded the official website of the White House and glanced at the time when NASA published the report, which happened to be five o'clock this afternoon. At that time, he had just signed a contract with the president of the Hilton Hotel, and the two of them went to a Hilton hotel to have dinner together.

"No wonder I haven't received any news, this timing is too coincidental," Jiang Chen muttered to himself, pinching his chin and falling into thought.

He didn't file the plan to capture the asteroid with the United Nations, because in his opinion, there was no need for it at all, and if he did, he would be asking for trouble, and there would be no benefit at all except for causing unnecessary panic.

Now the asteroid has caught the attention of the United States, or rather, the idea of the whole world. Although there is no direct evidence that those eight rocket engines are the masterpiece of the Transwarp trade, you can imagine with your ass that there is any company in the world with space technology that can do this.

SpaceX alone is trying to send a probe to that asteroid to take rock samples, and it has already worked hard!

Either the aliens are joking with Earth, or the Ring Trade is making fun of all of humanity.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but pinch his brows with a headache.

What should I do?
