Carl and Bob, who were extremely nervous, and all the monitors around them were quietly listening to the conversation between the middle-aged director and the director of the general bureau, and the scene was extremely quiet for a while, and no one dared to speak, for fear of disturbing the middle-aged director's thoughts.

"Yes, sir, I see."

It wasn't until the middle-aged director hung up the phone after saying the last sentence that Carl and the others hugged him in one go, and countless voices rang out immediately.

"Director, did you say anything from headquarters? Is there any way they can solve this crisis? Karl was the first to ask.

"Yes! Director, is there a solution at headquarters? If this meteorite is allowed to fall without any obstacles, I am afraid that the area where the meteorite fell will be completely reduced to ruins! ”

"Director, this crisis has exceeded our imagination, and if there is no way to alleviate it, I am afraid that even we will be affected by the meteorite landing."

…………

Countless voices were chaotic, and by the time they reached the ears of the middle-aged director, he couldn't hear which person had said what was going on.

And these chaotic questions also made the middle-aged director's already not very good mood worse.

"Okay, don't make any noise......"

Just when everyone was still asking, the middle-aged director couldn't help but feel a sense of annoyance in his heart, and finally when he couldn't bear it anymore, he slammed the table next to him and shouted.

“……”“……”

As the middle-aged director's shout sounded, a group of monitors, including Carl and Bob, couldn't help but quickly shut their mouths, and a trace of fear rose on their faces at the same time.

After all, the middle-aged director has been in this aerospace bureau for a long time, and this director is also very dignified on weekdays, and the monitors who know the temperament of the middle-aged director would probably not have asked him questions like this on weekdays, and I am afraid that even the middle-aged director probably did not expect this scene to happen.

It's just that after the monitoring room was quiet again, the middle-aged director glanced at everyone, and after seeing the indelible anxiety in everyone's eyes, he also understood the reason for their situation this time.

Since Carl discovered the super-large meteorite that fell towards the earth, and then deduced that the final landing point of this meteorite was Washington State, it is estimated that everyone's mood can no longer be calm.

The meteorite was able to maintain such a huge size when it was about to fall to Earth, such a situation that the middle-aged director and Carl and other monitors had never seen before.

If it was just a miniature or small meteorite, Carl and the others probably wouldn't take it seriously, because such a meteorite would not cause much harm even if it landed in a densely populated area, but ......

The current meteorite is huge and unprecedented. Just Karl's preliminary estimate just now, the volume of this meteorite has exceeded tens of kilometers.

Although a stone of tens of kilometers in size is nothing on the earth and can be found in many places, this is a giant meteorite that comes from outside the sky and carries an unimaginable impact!

If this meteorite does land in Washington State, it is estimated that most of Washington State will be affected by the aftermath of the meteorite, and the central area of the meteorite landing site may be completely reduced to ruins.

It's not a joke, that's why the middle-aged director understands the anxiety and nervousness of Carl, Bob and the others so much, to be honest, when he first heard the news, the middle-aged director himself was no better than Carl and them, but now......

After stopping everyone's noisy questioning, and scanning everyone, the middle-aged director slowly spoke up.

"Well, you don't have to be nervous, the situation is not as bad as we thought."

Karl, Bob and the others, who heard the voice, hurriedly shifted their attention to the middle-aged director again, only to see him continue: "I called the chief of the headquarters just now, and after I told him about it, he told me that the headquarters has also monitored this meteorite that suddenly appeared, and is preparing some countermeasures......

As he was speaking, the middle-aged director suddenly paused, and then saw his face condense slightly, and his voice changed suddenly: "Yes, according to the survey at the headquarters, this meteorite has not had the slightest trace before this, as if it appeared suddenly, and when the chief explained this to me just now, the headquarters conducted a more specific test, and this time the test result was ......"

"What are the test results? Managing director. Seeing him pause slightly, someone next to him hurriedly asked.

The middle-aged director glanced at the monitor with a sharp gaze, and then slowly opened his mouth and said, "The test result this time is...... This so-called meteorite is most likely not a real meteorite, but something else, and its true size is not as large as we see. ”

After the middle-aged director finished speaking, the surrounding monitors suddenly exploded for a long time.

As the first to discover this meteorite, Karl first asked the middle-aged director questions, only to see him frown and look at the middle-aged director, and said in disbelief: "Director, this is impossible, I obviously ......"

But before Carl's words could be spoken, he was generally interrupted by the middle-aged director, who seemed to have guessed what Carl wanted to ask, and quickly said loudly: "Nothing is possible." ”

"Carl, after all, the monitoring system and corresponding means of our sub-bureau are limited, and it is impossible to achieve the same level as the general bureau."

"Although the General Directorate was as shocked as us when they first detected this strange object, after their second investigation, they found something unusual at the same time."

"Carl, look......"

As he was speaking, the middle-aged director suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the computer screen where Carl was just now, and with the middle-aged director's movements, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look towards his fingers.

Just when everyone was puzzled by the monitoring screen on the computer screen, the voice of the middle-aged director sounded in their ears again: "Have you noticed that although the item similar to a meteorite in the monitoring screen is falling towards the earth, the speed of the fall is quite slow, of course, this is compared with the speed of the real meteorite." ”

"Although this object seems to be falling rapidly, the real speed is not that fast, when we first observed it was less than 3,000 kilometers away from the Earth, if it was a giant meteorite, I am afraid it has landed on the Earth by now, right? But this object has not yet come into contact with the atmosphere......"

"And the volume I just said is not nonsense. Although the volume of this thing is at least tens of kilometers according to the picture monitored by our satellite, the director of the General Administration just now found out after the second investigation that the volume of this thing is actually not as large as what we see, and its real volume may be very small, and the peripheral areas we see are just a layer of special protective energy. And it's estimated that the energy shield on the periphery of this thing even exceeds the ninety-nine percent of the area we see. So, even if this strange object landed, the damage would not be particularly large. ”

After the middle-aged director's words were finished, the faces of the surrounding monitors suddenly became clear, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that Carl didn't completely believe these words of the middle-aged director, although his words seemed to be very reasonable, and there were no flaws, but Carl still couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

It was precisely because of these suspicions that Carl couldn't help but turn his head to look at the middle-aged director again, and asked out loud: "But the director ......"

It's just that as soon as his words came out, he was interrupted again by the middle-aged director.

I saw that the middle-aged director's face suddenly had some impatience, and he shouted to stop Carl's next words: "There is nothing to do." ”

"Headquarters has determined that this thing is not too dangerous, Carl, do you think you are more professional than those explorers at HQ? Or do you think the head of the headquarters is giving me a false message? ”

After Karl's two or three interjections, the middle-aged director couldn't help but look a little angry, glaring at him as he spoke.

Seeing the middle-aged director put on such a battle, Carl couldn't help but feel worried in his heart, and didn't dare to look at him anymore, and responded softly when he slowly lowered his head: "No, Director, I don't have those thoughts." ”

"It's good if you don't, remember, you just need to do what you need to do, and others are naturally responsible for other things, so you don't need to worry too much."

In the face of the middle-aged director's reprimand, Carl did not refute anything, and nodded lightly in response: "Director, I know." ”

Hearing his words, the middle-aged director didn't say anything more, but after glancing at him, he turned around and left.

After the middle-aged director left, the monitors also returned to their original positions, and the entire monitoring room was quiet.

…………

Just after Carl's space department returned to its original state, NASA moved quickly.

During the fall of the unidentified object in outer space towards Earth, the headquarters of the Aviation Administration mobilized four ultra-long-range missiles to try to stop its fall.

Although in their second detection and subsequent explorations, it was extremely clear that this object was not a giant meteorite, and that it was only surrounded by an energy shield, but everyone in the aviation agency did not take it lightly.

After all, the energy shield of this object also has a range of tens of kilometers, and once it is allowed to land smoothly, the damage caused is not much better than the landing of a meteorite of the corresponding size.

So they have to reduce the range of the outer energy shield of this object by special means, and these ultra-long-range missiles are the most effective measure.

When the first missile hit, it forcibly reduced the energy shield of this object to a range of only about twenty kilometers.

It wasn't until all four missiles were launched and hit that the energy shield on the periphery of the object was finally reduced to a volume of only half a kilometer, and the half-kilometer extraterrestrial landing object happened to be the optimal volume that everyone in the aviation agency could tolerate.

After all, after the crisis was removed, most of the senior officials and monitors at the aviation authority headquarters were looking forward to what was kept in the energy shield.

…………

After the extraterrestrial object landed, in the early morning of the next day, more than a dozen jeeps rolled up puffs of smoke and dust to the center of the object's landing, that is, in the desert area on the border of Washington state.

Dozens of people in protective suits stepped out of the jeep one after another, and when they reached the center, a huge pothole with a range of several kilometers came into their eyes.

The extent of the crater is particularly large, and it is enough to cover several kilometers just by the naked eye, but the damage caused by an extraterrestrial debris of a kilometer and a half is to be expected.

However, although the scope of the crater is extremely wide, its depth is far beyond the imagination of everyone in the aviation department who came here.

Judging from the normal meteorite of the same volume, even if the depth of the crater is hundreds of meters, it is acceptable, but it is ......

Now in the eyes of this group, the depth of this huge crater is less than ten meters.

This couldn't help but make everyone feel shocked and puzzled, but just when most of the people were in a state of surprise, someone in the crowd seemed to be extremely excited to speak.

"Hurry up and take safety measures, and everyone will go down and look for that landing object immediately." A man who appeared to be the Supreme Commander stood beside the pit and glanced down, then shouted an order to those around him.

But when he said this, no one at the scene could hear a trace of excitement in his voice.

"Yes, sir." Hearing his order, everyone responded one after another, and immediately began to make corresponding preparations.

More than ten minutes passed, and when a few people had laid the piles and successfully lowered the rope ladder, the chief who had just spoken out hurriedly walked over.

"I'll go down first, you guys will follow immediately, the scope of this crater is not small, we will definitely need some time to search for landings, we must hurry."

As he was talking, he saw the chief step on the top of the rope ladder with his hands and feet, and slowly walked towards the pothole. When the people next to him saw him go down, they also followed him up several other rope ladders.

In less than a minute, four personnel of the Ministry of Aerospace wearing protective suits, including this commander, landed firmly in the hole.

As soon as they came to the pit, there was a rapid sense of indescribable oppression around them, and the other three couldn't help frowning after this feeling of oppression, but ......

The face of the chief who came down first hidden under the protective suit couldn't help but feel a burst of inexplicable excitement...... Well, or rather ecstatic to be more explicit.

"A very accurate time, a very accurate place, nothing wrong, that's where the book of Revelation says."

"Unidentified landings from outside the sky? Hehe...... That's a real creature! ”

Ecstatic in his heart, the officer's eyes hidden under his protective suit looked like they were about to burst into flames.
