Volume 1 Rushing Out of Earth Chapter 1 The Radiid Meteor Shower
A bright room, a huge screen, a line of words, a question.
How do you know what other people are thinking? Is it a mutation? Or is it some special ability?
Li Ming sat on the opposite side of the screen like a prisoner, his demeanor calm and his emotions calm.
"In the beginning I could just see their minds, anyone who was close to me, what they were thinking, what they wanted to do...... I can sense ......."
"Later, I was able to see more of the memories in their heads, the things they had done, and even the secrets in the depths of their memories...... It's like flipping through a book......"
"Not only that, but also the phone signal, the information stored on the computer, etc., I can see it, it's very clear, I don't have a mutation, I just ......"
"I just have a higher civilization, the earth is my home planet, and I came back this time just to visit my home planet...... Yes, that's all......"
"My name is Li Ming, it was a long time ago, hundreds of years, even thousands of years, I have forgotten, this may be reincarnation, I have returned to my home planet to tell you about these ......"
"What time are you now? 300x years? Or 405x years? Yes, there is no such thing as time in higher civilizations, but my story ...... It was from 20xx...... I remember it very clearly......"
Li Ming sat alone in a brightly lit room, looking at a huge screen......
After a moment of silence, Li Ming spoke again: Do you want to hear my story? Now I have time......
It was a day in the fall of 20XX......
Autumn 20xx, T City.
Astronomical data show that the Radiids have a long active period, from late September to late November, and they are also known as autumn showers throughout the Northern Hemisphere due to the high declination of the radiant and the better observation conditions in the Northern Hemisphere. And this meteor shower may be accompanied by bright fire meteors. Astronomical forecasts show that this year's Radiid meteor shower will usher in a maximum on the 13th, which will be visible throughout the night, which is very favorable for the observation of the Northern Hemisphere.
In fact, meteor showers are not very rare, but it is not easy to see a meteor shower due to external factors such as weather, time, and location.
A few days before and after the maximum, as long as the weather is fine, choose a place away from the interference of lights, find a place with a wide field of vision facing the southeast sky, and look up patiently in the southeast direction from 22 o'clock, and you may be able to witness the beautiful and bright 'fire meteor' dragging its long tail gracefully past.
It's a long-awaited surprise for any astronomy enthusiast and a must-see opportunity.
Li Ming, one of the astronomy enthusiasts, is far away from the noisy urban area, and the mountains in the suburbs are the best places to watch, and he drove here alone just to wait for this moment to come.
Turn on your phone, look at the news about this meteor, and then look at the time on your phone, 21:40.
Li Ming opened the car door and came to the ground in front of the car, which was the carpet that Li Ming had laid before, and it was most comfortable to lie on it and watch the meteor shower.
Watching meteor showers is not looking at galaxies, nebulae and the like, which are waiting for you a minute earlier and a minute later. Meteors are very abominable things that disappear as soon as they appear, so you need to make the most of your observation time.
Moreover, meteor showers do not appear as large meteors as rain, there is a certain time interval in between, sometimes only one or two appear in an hour.
Li Ming lay quietly on the carpet, the soft cushion was very comfortable, looked up at the bright starry sky, waiting for the beauty of the moment, Li Ming always loved to think cranky in the quiet environment, he was twenty-eight years old and worked alone in the field, no girlfriend, no house, only an installment car.
The introverted personality makes him silent, but more often than not, he is thinking, thinking about life, thinking about the confused future, this moment of silence has eased his complex emotions, which person who works outside does not have such pressure.
Unconsciously, the mobile phone made a dripping sound, Li Ming picked up the mobile phone and glanced at it, it was an alarm, at 22:00 o'clock, in the southeast direction, the meteor shower was coming.
Li Ming stared at the sky without moving, a few stars were exceptionally bright, and suddenly, more than a dozen bright spots suddenly appeared, Li Ming sat up excitedly, staring at the dozen bright spots without blinking.
"I'll ...... Fire meteor ......," Li Ming said to himself in some surprise.
Although he knew that there might be a fire meteor at the time of the astronomical forecast, it was really exciting for more than a dozen to appear at once, Li Ming stood up from the carpet and stared in that direction tightly, as if he could get closer to them by standing up.
A few seconds later, Li Ming's excited expression suddenly disappeared, and the dozen or so fire meteors did not burn and disappear in the atmosphere, but quickly fell towards the earth with a long flame in tow.
More than half of the dozen or so disappeared from Li Ming's field of vision, but three flew towards Li Ming, the speed was very fast, getting closer and closer, Li Ming subconsciously covered his head with his arm, feeling that the fireball was about to hit him.
'Whoosh'
There seemed to be something crossing overhead, and the surrounding mountains were instantly illuminated, as if it were day, and a fireball passed over Li Ming's head.
Li Ming hurriedly turned around to look, only to see that the fireball disappeared into a mountain forest in the night sky.
At this moment, Li Ming's heartbeat accelerated a lot, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, the scene just now came too suddenly, and he didn't even have time to be afraid, although it was not burned out by the atmosphere, but what was left was very small, maybe only an egg-sized meteorite was left.
There was a soft 'snap' sound, and a cloud of transparent liquid fell on Li Ming's shoulder.
"Ahh Li Ming jumped his body with a roar, and it felt like someone patted you on the shoulder.
Li Ming quickly looked around, there was silence under the night sky, there was nothing, Li Ming subconsciously touched his left shoulder with his right hand, there was indeed nothing but clothes.
Li Ming took a long breath and said secretly: Is it an illusion?
Sighing slightly, he shook his head slightly, maybe there was too much pressure in life, or maybe the fire meteor that he had just crossed made him too scared, looking at the starry sky in the distance, Li Ming couldn't help but say to himself: "Forget it, let's go back." ”
Li Ming leaned over to clean up the carpet on the ground, but as soon as he lowered his body, he found a strange thing on the carpet.
The thing was only the size of an egg, in a liquid state, like a transparent balloon filled with water, but there was a faint light inside, and the light was not translucent, but the starlight inside the liquid sphere.
As if this liquid sphere was filled with stars in the sky, it was very beautiful, Li Ming looked around again, it was empty, and it was still so silent.
What is it? Where did it come from? Li Ming had some doubts in his mind, and then Li Ming carefully touched it with his fingers, which was soft and very smooth.
Li Ming carefully pinched it with his hand, there was no change, it was very elastic, and then he took it in his hand and put it in front of his eyes, and after a closer look, the transparent sphere shook slightly in the center of his palm, like jelly.
Li Ming held this thing close to his eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim: Wow...... I'll go......
There are bright lights flashing in this sphere that are smaller than rice grains, and it seems that there is something rotating in it, just like the solar system in space, groups of light points rotate slightly, this magical scene, as if Li Ming is in the vast universe.
The more I devoted, the more I felt that I was in that universe, and that feeling was like Li Ming holding a universe in his hands, and every place in this "universe" was under Li Ming's grasp.
Li Ming opened his mouth wide, he couldn't believe what he saw, he couldn't believe this magical feeling, the beauty was fascinating, and the vastness of the starry universe made people intoxicated and yearned.
'Poof'
Suddenly, Li Ming only felt a cloud of liquid enter his throat, and the liquid sphere in his hand had completely disappeared, and this thing actually jumped into his mouth.
"Ahem...... Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"
Li Ming bent over and coughed vigorously, trying to cough this thing out, but no matter how hard he tried, there was no response, Li Ming immediately became a little worried, and his expression became panicked.
"I'm not going to die." Li Ming muttered to himself in a panic, thinking quickly about what to do.
Yes, induce vomiting, Li Ming squatted down and stretched his fingers to his throat, and a feeling of nausea immediately appeared, yes, that's it, Li Ming secretly told himself, and continued to use his fingers in his throat.
This is also a little common sense in life, it is a good method after eating something by mistake, but it is not easy to induce vomiting, although the length of the fingers can stimulate the gastrointestinal response deep into the throat, but it still has little effect.
At this time, Li Ming just wanted to vomit quickly and stimulate his throat harder, although it felt very uncomfortable, but he had to continue to stimulate hard, I could do it! Li Ming said to himself, as the feeling became heavier and heavier, finally.
"Boom la la ......"
A large puddle of liquid spit out, the vomiting was successful, Li Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, sat on the ground with a butt, and after taking a few deep breaths, Li Ming sat up again, feeling slimy in his mouth, and then spit out a few more times, and spit out the vomit residue in his mouth.
Li Ming took out his mobile phone, found a branch from the side, and turned on the rear light of the phone, okay, it's a little disgusting, but I have to see if that thing spits out, if not, I have to go to the hospital.
Li Ming used a wooden stick to pull the undigested and clean residues, and soon, a liquid sphere with a faint light appeared in the light, Li Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but say to himself: "It's okay, it's okay......"
"Poof"
The liquid sphere suddenly jumped again and directly entered Li Ming's throat again, Li Ming quickly threw away the mobile phone stick, and continued to cough hard while choking his neck, but the liquid was like water, and it just slid into his abdomen.
"I'm NMD, your sister......" Li Ming said angrily to himself.
I finally induced vomiting, and this time I suddenly jumped in again, and the angry and panicked Li Ming did not continue to induce vomiting, and after rolling up the carpet at will, he said secretly: "Let's go to the hospital." ”
Throwing the carpet to the back seat of the car at will, Li Ming entered the driver's seat, just about to start the car, remembering that he didn't take his mobile phone, Li Ming got out of the car again, and there was a bright light on the ground not far away, which was the rear light of Li Ming's mobile phone.
Li Ming had just taken a few steps, suddenly felt dizzy, his whole body was weak, as if the heavens and the earth were spinning, his eyes began to blur, and he fell to the ground with a 'plop'.
Li Ming's eyes wanted to open hard, but he couldn't use any strength in his whole body, his hazy eyes could only be closed slowly, as if closing his eyes was the most comfortable, it was better to relax if he was unable to resist, and the only remaining consciousness in his brain echoed a sentence: "I won't die like this, hurry up and someone passing by to save me......"
In the barren mountains and mountains, everything is calm again, the starry sky in the sky is gradually dimming, the earth is gradually brightening, the darkness of the night is slowly being driven away by the coming light, the sun in the east is slowly rising, and the morning light is warming the earth again through the cracks in the branches and leaves.
Li Ming's eyes trembled slightly, and before he opened his eyes, he felt that the strong light had stimulated his optic nerve through his eyelids, and subconsciously raised his right arm to cover his eyes, Li Ming opened his eyes and felt that there seemed to be in his right hand
What is it.
Flipping his right hand, it was his mobile phone, Li Ming then sat up, his whole body was sore, as if he had done a night of physical work, his whole body was weak, and then he looked at the mobile phone in his hand, and there was a bunch of English codes on the screen, just like a blue screen on the computer.
Li Ming didn't care about the changes in the mobile phone, he checked his surroundings first, his car was still there, everything was the same, there was no change in the slightest, his heavy head felt dizzy, and what happened before he fell unconscious last night began to blur, like a dream.
Li Ming patted his head lightly with his left hand, took a long breath, and couldn't help but look at the mobile phone in his hand, and pressed a certain key with his fingers until he turned off the key again.
After the phone was restarted, there was still five percent of the battery left, and the time was 07:35, at this time Li Ming suddenly thought of something: I'll go, I have to go to work today.
Li Ming quickly got up and entered the car, inserted the key to start the vehicle directly, turned the front of the car and drove down the mountain road, from the ring mountain road down is the provincial highway leading to the city, and it takes thirty minutes to drive along the provincial highway to T City.
Li Ming turned on the radio in the car while driving the car, and at the same time took out a bottle of water from the side of the car seat, feeling dry mouth, and the mouth was still a little slimy, open the bottle cap, Li Ming was ready to take a sip and rinse his mouth first, but the bottle of water had just reached his mouth, and he hadn't started to drink yet, and the bottle of water 'whooped' went directly down his throat into his abdomen.
"Huh?" Li Ming looked puzzled, the bottle in his hand had become an empty bottle, a bottle of water disappeared in less than a second, and there was no extra water next to the seat, Li Ming was a little surprised, but he still felt a little thirsty, maybe he was too thirsty, Li Ming didn't care too much, threw the empty bottle aside and continued to drive.
According to reports, last night, that is, on October 13, the flow of the meteor shower reached double digits, some astronomy enthusiasts filmed the whole process, the meteor shower is characterized by long traces, slow speed, and very bright, many netizens are the most exciting moments of the meteor shower through the video posted on the Internet for everyone to enjoy, although there is no immersive feeling, but this meteor shower still brings a lot of shock to many astronomy enthusiasts, the meteor shower will last until late November, some experts remind, Try to find an open place to watch the meteor shower, avoid tall buildings or mountains, and also remind everyone to keep warm when watching. The next piece of news is ......"
Li Ming raised his hand to turn off the broadcast and continued to concentrate on the road.
