[Chapter 183: Live Broadcast (Part I)]

The International Astronomical Observatory first announced the Martian impact event, and then the world's major astronomical institutions released the news. The biggest historic event of the year in the solar system took place, and the news spread around the world the next day, and overnight, everyone became known.

NASA held a press conference on the same day and announced two news, one is to announce that the "Mars program" will be postponed, the landing on Mars will be postponed to the third best launch window, and the first human landing on Mars will be postponed to 2024; The second is to announce that tomorrow will be broadcast live on the world through the "Mars Observer 3" to broadcast the Mars impact event.

Both announcements were made because of the sudden appearance of the "Terminator" meteorite and the creation of this historic cosmic event.

Not only NASA announced that it would broadcast the event live, but also China, which currently has a probe in orbit around Mars, followed suit, and the China National Space Administration announced that it would broadcast the Mars impact event live, and the China National Space Administration will broadcast live through the "Firefly 3", and the live news room will carry out a 45-minute special report and live broadcast of it.

Tomorrow at dusk Beijing time, at 18:17:08 to be exact, the mega meteorite "Terminator" will crash into Mars "Olympus" at this moment, and at 18:10, "Phobos" will be the first to fall to the surface.

The world's major mainstream media have replaced the day's headlines and published the Martian impact event. "The worst 'car accident' in history", "The most violent 'crash' in the solar system", "A rare cosmic wonder in 6 million years", "A realistic version of "Heaven and Earth Collision"" and a series of attractive headline slogans. Billions of humans around the world learned the news on the same day, and the Mars impact incident exploded on social networks and circles of friends overnight.

This cosmic event was instantly detonated around the globe in the space of one day today. This is a rare sight to see in millions of years, and it happened on the closest planet to Earth, Mars. Humans may be able to witness the entire process of this event in the clearest possible images.

On this day, there is only one news in the world: the Mars impact event!

Ren Hong also paid attention to this cosmic super crash. As the time approaches. Hundreds of millions of people around the world are waiting for the arrival of 18:17 on October 6, and this day happens to be at the end of the National Day holiday. This day has become a trend of national attention for the whole country, in fact, it is the focus of attention all over the world.

At 6 p.m. on October 16 in Beijing's East Eighth District, countless people were either staring at the live TV broadcast or watching the video broadcast live on the Internet, and this moment was so expected. Especially those who are interested in astrophysics and the mysteries of the universe are as excited as if they were beaten with chicken blood, and for some avid astronomy enthusiasts, it is simply the greatest happiness of life to be able to see such a spectacle in their lifetime!

Li Zixi is an avid astronomy enthusiast, and since he learned the news, he has not left his computer for ten hours, silently waiting for that miraculous moment to come.

“18:10:06…… 07…… 08！！！ Li Zixi looked at the countdown specially marked on the live broadcast screen, and was silently reciting it in his heart with the beating of the numbers.

And in front of him in the live news room. Two experts in the field of astronomy were invited to be the guests of this live broadcast, and the host and the two guests were still talking.

Fiddling with a model of the solar system on stage, one of the guests said, "Because Mars and Earth are very far apart, and they orbit in their respective orbits. Different points in time will also make the distance between the two also different. Mars is in orbit with the Earth at a distance of about 0.6 AU (1 AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun), and Mars is the shortest distance when it is on the same side of the Sun. This is what we commonly call the optimal launch window, when two planets are at opposite ends of the Sun and are in the same straight line. The farthest distance between Earth and Mars is 2.6 astronomical units. Mars today is relatively close to Earth. There is only a 6-minute time difference between the signal from Mars and Earth. By this time, our Firefly-3 should have captured a clear picture of the Terminator meteorite entering the gravitational field of Mars, and at the same time, Phobos should have broken the original gravitational equilibrium and began to break away from its established orbit and fall to the surface. ”

The host looked at the commentary of the guests at the scene and nodded repeatedly, then looked at the camera and said, "Well, thank you Professor Yisheng for your professional analysis." Okay, we've received the message that Firefly 3 has sent back the image, the crew is preparing, and the footage will be handed over in a minute. ”

Li Zixi stared at the screen with wide eyes, and as the screen switched, the long-awaited scene for countless people finally came.

I saw the people watching the video staring intently with wide eyes, and after the transfer, the picture showed a pitch-black cosmic deep space background.

"That's ...... 'Phobos'!" Li Zixi saw the irregular celestial object in the picture and quickly recognized it, and it was indeed an avid astronomy enthusiast, and after a while, the host gave a general explanation of this celestial body.

"It's fallen! It's really fallen! Li Zixi couldn't help but roar, in the picture, the "Phobos" locked by the "Firefly III" is gradually moving at a speed visible to the naked eye, as time goes by, it is constantly accelerating, and the gravitational imbalance of the "Phobos" falling to the surface is getting faster and faster, at this time, the video is divided into two, the left screen shows the "Phobos", and the right screen shows an object the size of a "lychee", Professor Yi Sheng explained in the narration: "We see that in the picture on the right, the object is" The Terminator's meteorite, don't look at it so small, it actually has a diameter of 60 kilometers, and it is crashing into Mount Olympus at a speed of more than 14 kilometers per second......"

As time passed, the actual image of the Terminator meteorite became larger and larger, and at this time, the picture of the Terminator meteorite was reduced by a fifth to the bottom left corner, while the main body of the video showed "Phobos". At this point in time, it broke through the high-altitude atmosphere of Mars, and the surface of "Phobos" rubbed against the atmosphere to produce flames, carrying a long tail of flames into the eyes of all audiences, this scene is extremely beautiful, but it represents death.

Another 79 seconds passed, and the two images merged into one, and the "Firefly III" stretched the shot, and the audience was surprised to see that the two celestial bodies in the picture, "Phobos" and "Terminator", respectively, carried the flaming tail and fell to the surface at high speed.

Finally, "Phobos" was the first to crash into the surface of the planet, and at that moment, the entire picture was covered with light, and the scene of the end of the world came, and the entire screen could see nothing at this moment.

(This plot is not only a big foreshadowing of the third part, but also an important foreshadowing of the plot of this book, so, please don't say "water", write to this stage, other books, it is estimated to be more than 120W words, to say water, I really just want to respond like this: Matrix technology, change the world, the whole book is over~~) (To be continued.) )
