Chapter 1098: Terrifying Satellite Debris (1)
Seeing that I was silent, Ni Niandie leaned me closer to me. For more exciting visits. She stared at me with watery eyes without blinking, and finally said wistfully, "Actually, I really want to see what your girlfriend really looks like." You are too mysterious, calm, distant, and even a little cold. ”
She looked up at the roof of the car: "I want to see with my own eyes what a good girl is worthy of putting up with your awkward character." ”
Is this complimenting me? I can't even smile bitterly.
My uncle had largely turned a blind eye to my intimacy with his daughter. He was also very relieved to see his daughter's happy appearance. I guess while accepting me in my heart, I am also ready to get along with me for the rest of my life. For the past few days, the eyes of me have been completely like looking at my future son-in-law. This bastard, from a cold man to an enthusiastic man, has changed a little too quickly.
What can I say about that? I am really powerless against this person with distinctive characteristics and a clear personality. Sometimes, I even think that they are all characters that came out of the shoujo manga and belong to the second dimension.
As usual, text the guardian and Li Noyi to tell them not to worry. But at the same time, my worries swelled uncontrollably.
My sense of powerlessness and cluelessness about the events in front of me gradually spread to my physiology. Last night, I dreamed that I would get married to Ni Niandie in the car. She smiled happily in a white wedding dress, and the background was a huge evil black mist conjured up by the thing.
Subtly it's really a dog thing that kills people. I'm not going to really spend my whole life in this RV and never get out of it again, right?
This is a horrifier and worse situation than a gruesome horror!
On the 11th day of the unfortunate ride in this thief car, we finally entered the realm of Lingzhi. It's not too far from Lhasa, and the road conditions along the way are not bad. This sturdy RV hasn't had any breakdowns either. The feeling of coming from the prairie to the highland woods is great, and even the gloomy mood is raised by the beautiful scenery around it.
Ni Niandie held a stack of daily newspapers she had just bought from a gas station in her hand, and shouted happily: "Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, the satellite is about to hit the earth." ”
This girl, don't make such a fuss if you can have something to do. I sat on the short, narrow sofa in the living room, picked up the newspaper and flipped through it. Today's daily headline is a news story about a U.S. satellite about an impact on the Earth. Although I learned the news not long ago, it was too ethereal after all, and it wasn't until today that it had a little more realism.
Ni Niandie sat beside me, her beautiful long hair shining in the sun like particles emitting countless lights. She leaned her head against me, and the soft touch of her body made her heart feel comfortable and relaxed.
"Oh, the impact seems to have started today." Although this little girl spends most of her time in the car and flees, she will never be left behind, and she knows all current affairs and politics.
The newspaper wrote at great length:
Starting at 11 p.m. today, the scrapped satellites of the United States may land at any time, and the people of the earth are also paying attention to the satellite debris that is about to be smashed overhead. So, what is the origin of the largest space waste that fell to the ground in more than 30 years?
It is expected that after passing through the earth's atmosphere around the 23rd, 26 residual debris with a total weight of 500 kilograms will eventually fall somewhere on the earth, and the probability of hitting the earthlings is about 1 in 3,200 percent.
The six-ton upper atmosphere research satellite, which entered orbit aboard the Space Shuttle in 1991 and served for 14 years, collected a wealth of data on ozone and other chemicals in the atmosphere. NASA usually guides abandoned satellites into dead orbit or into the ocean, but the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite is no longer able to control it due to fuel shortages.
Although it is still rare for a scrapped satellite to "smash" into the earth, and the probability of crashing into an area where humans gather is also very low, if we continue to let it go, one day space may become a real garbage dump, space junk "accidents" may become commonplace, and unfounded worries may become a reasonable synonym.
In general, there are several ways to die a satellite: 1. Enter the space death orbit and become space junk; 2. Burned out in the earth's atmosphere; 3. Blowing it to pieces with anti-satellite weapons; 4. Use the space shuttle to bring it back to the ground; 5. Falling on the surface of the earth. And this time we caught up with precisely the last one. Because the fuel is running out, the satellite has long been out of control, and it will have 26 pieces of debris left behind and fall on the surface of the earth, and the probability of hitting a person is 3 in 10,000. ’
"Three ten-thousandths?" I was dumbfounded: "Interesting." The probability of an American plane crash is 1 in 200,000, and the probability of being struck by lightning is 1 in 10,000. In this way, the probability of being struck by a satellite is 3 times higher than the probability of being struck by lightning. Although this 3 in 10,000 probability is apportioned to the billions of people on Earth. ”
"Xiaoye, do you think we can see a meteor?" Ni Niandie's expression was a little expectant.
"Shooting stars?" I wondered for a moment before I figured out what she meant: "You're talking about satellite debris!" Let me see. The newspaper said that the satellite fell in a range of 57 degrees north latitude to 57 degrees south latitude. It can be said that basically except for the South Pole and the North Pole, all the places where earthlings live are included. If you're lucky, you might be able to see the meteor effect of more than 20 pieces of debris entering the atmosphere and burning. ”
How does this girl like to watch shooting stars, does she still believe in the stupid thing that circulates in fairy tales about making a wish on a shooting star and the wish will come true? What's more, even if meteors can really fulfill the wishes of human beings, artificial meteors caused by human negligence definitely do not belong to this list.
After getting the answer, Ni Niandie looked out the window with radiant eyes.
"I don't want to see that, though." I shrugged my shoulders: "The debris can be seen with the naked eye, which means that the fall is nearby, and it may cause a lot of trouble." ”
"Xiao Ye, your thinking is too extreme, if people all over the world are like you who always think about the bad, I'm afraid everyone will commit suicide because of a nervous breakdown over a little thing." She pouted dissatisfiedly because of my cold words.
I laughed dryly, and secretly cursed in my heart. Nonsense, if everyone is as coarse as you, chased and killed by something unknown since childhood, living a life with today and no tomorrow, and still maintaining an optimistic attitude, there will be no one who will commit suicide in this world.
