Among the various astronomical events against the backdrop of the vast universe, most of the small probability coincidences may be called "inevitable".

But it's actually right to think about it - how many of those craters on Earth were "accidentally" smashed by a stone that flew from countless light years away? If you calculate the odds, it's definitely much lower than the one that flew to Hogwarts tonight!

Therefore, after a moment of stunnedness, the four Muggles in front of Maca actually quickly accepted the question of the origin of the meteorite.

However, compared to the surprise caused to them by the meteorite's origin, it was obvious that Maca was able to predict the meteorite's location with so much accuracy in advance, which obviously surprised and puzzled them even more.

That's right, this is something that can't be done with the current level of technology.

"Perhaps...... That's the mystery of magic, right? The leader stared at the screen silently as he whispered to himself, "But is there really a meteorite falling here at night?" ”

A meteorite with a diameter of more than 300 feet (100 meters) fell to the ground, and even if there is atmospheric friction loss and buffering, it will inevitably cause a devastating impact on the landing site that will exceed that of the Tunguska explosion that year.

In other words, if the meteorite is really detected at that time, it will be impossible for these four unlucky eggs to run away.

So...... Although they are still secretly worried in their hearts, they no longer want to think about it. They were all ordered to come here on a mission, and the danger had been told in advance, so what else was there to think about now?

What's more, didn't Mr. McLean, who was reclining on the door frame in the back, show them all his hand? Once the mission is complete, they can be sent away with just a pat on the shoulder, as easily as sending an email to a friend!

It's just that, having said that, it's impossible not to be nervous at such a time. Ever since Maca had explained the true mission objective, there had been silence in the makeshift radar station, and no one had spoken.

Maca leaned against the door, looking at Hogwarts Castle not far away, and the sun setting a little westward in midair. After standing still for a few more moments, he straightened up and spoke into the control room:

"I'm going to get some preparations...... If there's any problem, just call me out and I can hear it. ”

After saying this, seeing that the four of them nodded wordlessly, he turned around and left the temporary radar station and walked straight to the school gate not far away.

……

How fast will the meteorite fall?

To be honest, it's not easy to compare this kind of thing to other things, Maca can only say - very quickly, very quickly! It will soon be so close that it will be difficult for the human eye to react to it once it has passed through the atmosphere.

Therefore, Maca needs to have a pair of "eyes" to "star" at it, even if it is only for a few seconds.

"Smack."

Another stone tablet carved with a magic script was placed on the ground by Maca, the distance and angle between it and the next one were exactly the same as the others, as if they had been intricately measured.

"Bang...... Smack...... Snap ......"

Stone slabs after slabs gradually formed on the ground, forming a circle around the maca. And when Maca took a small step back and took out the staff that had broken in the battle with Helbo and inserted it into the center of the circle, all the symbols and patterns on the stone tablet flowed with a blue light.

"Mr. McLean...... Just now...... It seems that there has been some huge interference, and all the instruments have been affected for a moment! ”

Seeing a researcher hurrying out of the radar station, shouting at this side, Maca immediately waved her hand at the other party and said loudly:

"It's okay! The source of interference is my magic. ”

Seeing that the other party looked at each other suspiciously for a while before returning to the radar station, Maca couldn't help but subconsciously glance at the magic array on the ground a few more times - the source of a major contradiction between magic and technology is here, even if wizards and Muggles are willing to merge with each other as they once did, as long as this problem is not resolved, the contradiction will inevitably become an obstacle.

After thinking about it for a while, Maca put aside the considerations in her heart for the time being. Then, I saw him return to the radar station, leaning against the outer wall and looking at the sky again.

Before I knew it, the whole afternoon had passed in a hurry, and the sky had finally darkened.

"Mr. McLean."

Hearing the gentle call from the researcher beside her, Maca didn't turn her head to look, but nodded slightly.

"Well, it's time to cheer up! Meteorites can be detected at any time between nightfall and early morning. ”

"Yes, we will maintain uninterrupted monitoring of the established airspace...... Sir, this is your portable monitor, and the trajectory calculations and some key data we have done will be displayed on it simultaneously. ”

The other party said as he handed over a palm-sized instrument with a display screen to Maca, and after Maca reached out to take it, he looked at Maca with some hesitation and said:

"Sir, this ...... Does it really come in handy for you? ”

Even though Maca has already been taught how to read the data above, the data is always just data. The researcher is obviously still worried, can Maca really rely on the rapidly changing latitude and longitude and radar altimetry to stop the meteorite from falling at a rapid speed?

However, Maca knew very well that he could do it.

At the moment, the only challenge for Maca against the big rock was not really to capture it, but how to "softly" counteract its terrifyingly strong impact. Because a broken meteorite is definitely much more difficult to deal with than a whole meteorite.

And even if it didn't work, he had to at least figure out how to blast the meteorite into pieces that weren't enough to cause too much damage to the area.

There is only one chance, and Maca needs to adjust her state and face this challenge head-on with a perfect attitude.

As the sun slowly sank into the mountains to the west, the golden red sunset gradually faded, and the black night and silver moonlight once again descended on the earth.

Of course, tonight's threat must not be limited to meteorites.

"Hellbo, will you come to make trouble?"

Maca folded her arms, her brows furrowed slightly, and the air around her seemed to become more and more oppressive with the arrival of night.

"Forget it, sooner or later, you have to face it...... That guy's injuries shouldn't have fully recovered, at the very least. He whispered, "...... There's always a way. ”
