Chapter 71: True Prophecy

Bai Min's arrival was very welcome, especially this time, and he was much happier than the last time.

On the platform in front of the cave, Huo Yue took Bai Min's hand and held it tightly for a while, and told Bai Min through Huo An that his arrival would be of great help to the Fire Tribe's upcoming attack on the Dugang people.

"What? You're going to attack the Gangs? ”

"Yes!" Huo An translated.

"Why? Didn't you just beat them, and they were not defeated too? ”

"The enemy will come again if they are defeated, and we need to hit them hard again. This time it was an attack on their home. ”

"Oh! Your tone is not small. Do you think this time it's going to be easy? I've heard there are hundreds of them! ”

"You're here, we're going to fight even more. Please teach us something new! ”

Bai Min smiled bitterly: "I have something new now, I just came here to teach you to restore your crops." ”

"Regardless of it, only if we really defeat the enemy, we can continue to farm, don't you say friends?"

"That's right, it seems that any of you have a reason, but I don't care. Hey, let me think about it, okay Chief! ”

Bai Min placed his bag with a few clothes on the side of his straw bed, and as soon as he sat down, he began to think about what Huo Yue said, and what Huo Yue had said when he conducted a preliminary investigation on Du Gangren.

He shouted a few times to Huo An, and Huo An appeared and approached him.

He explained to Huo An: This time we are fighting on the enemy's territory, at the enemy's doorstep, and if we want to be able to win more with less, we can't fight in such a hurry. Before going into battle, it is necessary to do a good job of reconnaissance work in the early stage, to understand the terrain around the enemy, including the distribution of mountains, rivers, plants, and so on, and to understand the enemy's movement patterns. And more importantly, we have to be well prepared. For example, the fighting spirit and fighting mood of our people must be brought up; The quality and quantity of the weapons we participate in the battle must also be checked and increased, such as the bows and arrows used, etc., must be checked, otherwise the bows and arrows have problems when the battle is fierce, which will affect the effectiveness of the battle too much; This time there are many enemies, so the number of arrows must also keep up, and the lack must be replenished now, I think everyone must prepare at least three pots of sixty arrows to be appropriate. Also, those who shoot the enemy with stones can't be like before, they are almost in battle mode and are still looking for stones. I think they should each prepare a rattan net, and use the net to load enough stones before the battle, so that when the time comes, there is no need to waste time looking for stones, and when the battle comes, the opportunity is fleeting. As for the method of fighting, as in the last time, as before, attack the enemy as high as possible, and use the enemy's weapons - even if the stones and clubs cannot hit their own people.

In addition, tell the chief, let him arrange a few men for me, and I will take them to clean up the land under the mountain, and then we can plant crops again.

For several days, Huo Yue and his men were busy preparing various weapons and collecting all kinds of information about the Dugang tribe. Bai Min, on the other hand, led a group of women from their tribe to clean up the weeds that had grown tall and a lot in the fields that had been cultivated before at the bottom of the mountain. After cleaning up the grass, then he had to clean up the ridges that had lost their appearance, and after cleaning up the ridges, he had to dig over the ground that had been crushed again, and after cleaning up the slabs, he had to clean up the ground again, and there were several things in the preliminary work that they had to do, and if the early service was not good, the crops would not grow well in the ground.

It's strange today, the sun is almost above the sky at noon, why haven't those young people come here to practice archery yet? Bai Min thought, and occasionally looked up at the movement of the platform on the mountainβ€”to see if anyone from the Fire Tribe came out to practice arrows around here. It's been a long time, but no one has come down. After that, Bai Min was busy weeding again, so he didn't care about it anymore.

A child walked in a hurry, and he walked straight or around the pile of grass stacked into small flowers towards Bai Min. Bai Min had already seen that it was Huo An coming, and he estimated that something would look for him.

Before Huo An could come to him, Bai Min touched his palm, which was a little painful because of pulling grass, and then prepared to listen to what Huo An said.

"I, our leader, said that you should go back now, go back quickly." After walking for a long time, Huo An said with some gasp.

"Your leader is still in the cave, is he? Let's go! Saying that, Bai Min was about to leave......

"No, it's not going back." Huo An pointed in the direction of the cave, and then moved his arm to point to the east: "Where is it going back?" ”

Bai Min blinked: "Where to go back, where am I going back?" Just come over. Bai Min was curious, turned around and stared at Huo An with a smile, and the two faced each other like this.

Huo'an looked up: "Our leader had a dream, which was given to him by our ancestors, saying that we are about to come to a catastrophe. ”

"Dreaming? Dreaming is a catastrophe? Bai Min didn't react for a long time - this really made him unable to react.

"The chief said that his ancestors had entrusted him with a dream, saying that there was some calamity that would come down from heaven and harm us."

"Dreaming, dreaming?" Bai Min smiled, he said in his heart that if he is not civilized, he is not civilized, and he will not dare to do anything under them if he has a nightmare, and even the things that he has been preparing for a long time (blow to Dugang) have been put down, hum! It's ridiculous.

He said, "The leader may be teasing you, right?" ”

"It's true."

Bai Min thought for a while: "You go and tell the leader, everyone can think and dream, and the things in the dream can't be believed, even if it's a nightmare, you can't believe it." ”

"But the demons from heaven will kill us, and they will kill you." Huo An still looked solemn.

"Huh!" Bai Min chuckled and joked: "Our people there are very powerful, what is the demon from the sky, it can't hurt them." We've met it before, but we're not here safely. ”

"Our leader saw the stars in the sky and said it was going to happen."

"Can you see the stars in broad daylight?"

"He watched it at night. You, you can use the communicator to notify them. ”

Bai Min listened to Huo'an's more and more unreliable, he pushed Huo'an's shoulder: "It's a dream for a while, and it's looking at the stars for a while." Go, go! Don't play here, it's the boss teasing you! He said to himself, "This is kidding me!"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the chief!"

"Come back!" Bai Min ignored Huo'an anymore and started to get busy again.

Huo An had no choice, so he had to look back at Bai Min in a few steps, with a look of grievance.

Soon, Bai Min saw a member of the fire tribe who had become a year taking off from the cave and flying in the direction of the mainland base, he thought to himself: It's ridiculous, Huo Yue doesn't give up, he has to go somewhere to touch a gray nose to stop, and then those scientists don't laugh and lose their big teeth.

Ivan answered the call that Huoman had given him.

Huoman said, "Doctor, just now a man from our tribe came and he brought the words of our chief. ”

"What?"

"Our chief said, 'Our ancestors gave him a dream, saying that in the eastern sky, a demon will appear, and this demon will come to kill us."

Ivan laughed: "Really? Hmmm, good! We'll take notice. ”

"It's true, we told Bai Min first, we wanted him to inform you, but he didn't believe it, so the leader specially sent someone here to tell me, let me tell you."

"Good! I see, thank you! ”

"Doctor, I don't seem to take your tone seriously at all!"

"No! Didn't I say it! Thanks for the reminder, we'll pay attention too. ”

"Tell you, Doctor, our leader has seen the stars in the sky, and he is convinced that what happened in his dream is indeed going to happen after looking at the stars, and he is not talking nonsense. Also, our ancestors also left some warnings for which ** leaders, as for what warnings I don't know, probably just some oral transmission, the specific content is only known to our chief. ”

Ivan stood up solemnly at this moment, and he sat up straight in his seat: "Your leader still looks at the stars?" Well, if he says so, then he still has an astrological chart to compare. ”

"Astrological charts?" Huo Man's hesitant voice suddenly: "Hey! I remember, I did carve some pictures on the stones in our cave, I don't know if it was the astrological chart you said? ”

"Really? If there is, it would be great. Well, I'll let Bai Min go to your hole and shoot it later. ”

"Okay!"

A few hours later, the pictures taken by Bai Min were transmitted. Ivan then distributed these pictures to the scholars who were in the heavens or with the heavens, and asked them to see the pictures and do some astronomical analysis.

The pictures that were distributed were replied one after another: "I don't understand what it is!" ”

Ivan smiled to himself and said, "These drawings carved on the stone are hundreds of thousands of years ago, to say the least, and they are still so rough that they can be understood." He put the communicator aside, got up and paced out of the office.

A short time later, Ivan paced back to his office, picked up the communicator and called Tamin.

Ivan gave him a rough idea of the leader's dream that Huoman had told him, and the leader had seen the stars and the picture he had passed on one by one, and finally he said: "Whatever it is, I think at least Huoyue will not joke with us, and of course, their astronomical knowledge is limited by conditions, but for the sake of respecting their opinions, let's take it seriously." ”

"But there's a lot of serious work to be done on our satellite. For example, I want to draw a large three-dimensional data-based map of the terrain and landform! There are still many detailed parts of the surface vegetation map, and it has only just begun! In addition, the more difficult and more detailed data on the distribution of mineral resources has just begun. So, I said, Doctor, don't take a dream of a primitive tribal leader or a picture left by your so-called ancestors seriously. Ta Ming said a lot disapprovingly: "I, I think the last thing I should believe is you, why are you instead"

"Huh! Yes! I should have been the least convinced of that person, but how did I feel that what he said was not impossible, and when I heard it, I also vaguely felt a premonition of impending disaster. ”

Tamin smiled: "You are a doctor of the material world, not a spiritual one, not a doctor of the feeling world, how can you not be witchcraft?" Or do you want to be in the world of witchcraft? ”

"I'm getting more and more incredible, I'm a fantasist, oh no, I'm not even a fantasist, I'm just a fart! Ha! Tamin laughed alongside him.

Ivan twisted his eyebrows and approached Tamin: "Young man, am I old?" ”

The indicator light of the communicator lit up, and it was Bai Min's phone: "Doctor, it seems that the leader of Huoyue is really in a hurry." He moved all the people who had fallen. ”

"Hmmm! Moving? What are you doing when you move? Ivan asked.

"He wanted all the men, either to go out to gather and hunt, or to farm with us at home, and now even the children have to help out in the fields. He also said to Huo An, let me take their men, women, and children to quickly clean up the land and plant crops as soon as possible. He also said that it is a little bit to gain a little bit before disaster strikes. He also said that if he didn't have enough food, he would be starved to death in the cave if he was not killed by the demons who came. Bai Min didn't mention that Huo Yue was going to attack the Plains Tribe, although Huo Yue was no longer ready to attack, and it didn't seem to be that meaningful, but it was better to tell Ivan that this matter was safe, this is a sensitive issue. If you say that, if the Plains tribe is really extinguished by Huo Yue that day, and Ivan and the others know about it, they will come up with a lot of ideas for Huo Yue here, and at that time, they will not be taken out to clean themselves up again!

"Are there any other anomalies? I mean, where are the leaders of the fire. Ivan asked Bai Min.

"Hmmm! Come to think of it, whew! They also began to prepare stones, big stones. ”

"What are you doing with that?"

"He said he was going to seal the hole when the demon came. Scold! Bai Min chuckled.

Ivan whispered in surprise: "Seal the entrance to the cave? ”

"What did you say, Doctor?"

"Whew! Oh! It's nothing. ”

Silent for a long time, Tamin also stared at Ivan indifferently for a long time.

"You still adjust the attitude and observation function of the satellite, go and see what is in space!"

"Then I'll put aside the rest of the satellite work and start it." With that, Tamin walked slowly out of Ivan's office.

One day, ten days later, Tamin's tall figure hurried through the base, and he asked where Dr. Ivan was now. Someone pointed him to a remote corner of the base and said where he was wandering.

"Doctor, why didn't you bring a communicator?" Tamin said loudly to Ivan while he was still far away. When he arrived, Ta Ming gasped: "Looking, I've been looking for you for a long time!." ”

"I don't want to carry that thing with me now, it doesn't have a moment to clean up. Urgent? ”

"Yes! It's to show you something, and I think you have to see it right away. There was some excitement in Tamin's voice.

He approached Ivan, adjusted the communicator, and then turned the display to Ivan: "Look at this picture, this is the result of calculations and calculations by our satellites after exploring space." ”

The picture that Tamin showed Ivan was a three-dimensional diagram of a small sphere running along a curved track around two bright spots, and at the same time, there was a line running between the sphere and the two bright spots, and in the distance on this line there was a large and irregular mass.

Tamin explained to Ivan: "Those two bright spots are the two suns. Ivan knew it as soon as he heard him, and he said, "This sphere should be our 'lucky star'?" ”

"Hmmm! Yes. ”

Ivan pointed to another line close to the trajectory of the sphere and the irregularities on that line: "What's that?" Is it the trajectory of that irregular thing? ”

"Uh-huh! Which irregularity, we estimate is a meteorite mass composed of meteorites. We don't know exactly what kind of meteorites they are, but there may be something in them that needs to be observed again, or it will take some time to determine. ”

Ivan said while thinking: "It doesn't matter if the surname of the meteorite is known or not, it seems that this meteorite cluster is going to pass through our 'lucky'." ”

"Its trajectory is biased to the side of the sun, and it is very likely to pass us, and I think this may be the demon that Huo Yue said."

"How long will it get close to 'luckyly'?"

"The approximate time, 'lucky', could be eight or nine months away."

"So close? Satellites don't do anything else, just keep an eye on this guy. ”

"That's what I thought, too. I was just wondering if we should put a probe on the way to meet that guy. ”

"You mean flying head-on with a probe?"

"Hmm!"

"Let's discuss it and then decide! Gather people to me for a meeting right away. Let's go to my office. The two hurried in the direction of the office.

One by one, personnel entered Ivan's office. Ivan himself, sitting at his desk, looked out the window with a sad face, one hand resting on the table and the other resting on the back of the chair. Tamin sat next to him with his hands crossed over his chest, looking slightly down at the communicator near his desk.

Wen Hyuk did his usual role - counting the number of people, and when he entered a person, he snapped his fingers, and his face was full of silent expression.

Lang Dai's daughter-in-law came in, and Lang Dai said to Wen He from a short distance from where he was standing: "There is still one person in our family, and you have to count my son." ”

"Know! This is a count of the number of people in the meeting. ”

"Didn't you say everybody should participate?"

"Can that baby of yours count?"

Someone interjected: "How do I think Lang Dai's son doesn't look like him at all." ”

Someone asked, "Who do you say you look like?" ”

The former: "I can't say who I look like." ”

Another voice: "I can't see it yet, whoever is in charge of the 'snot bank' is like who!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Wen He smiled: "You mean I took my own in exchange for Lang's belt?" ”

"I didn't say that."

"It's all confirmed, and I don't admit it."

"That's still a child, and the big kids don't all look the same." Wen He argued with a smile.

A younger voice: "What is a 'snot bank'?" ”

"It's a storehouse for men's things, and the ancients called men's things snot, and I don't know this?" A voice answered.

Lang Dai glanced at his daughter-in-law, and could see that she had her head down, but her face could be seen to be very red. He didn't say anything, like all men of the air, as if he had nothing to do with himβ€”he knew they could make any joke when they were bored.

Wen He said to everyone, in fact, to those who were joking with him: "You can just talk." You won't be happy when the meeting starts. ”

"Hey Lao Wen, why are you recruiting so many people?"

"I don't know! That's what I just got noticed. ”

"Why don't you think we're going to be happy later?"

Wen He lowered his voice and said to the questioner, "Just look at the doctor's face." ”

Wen He approached Ivan: "Doctor, everyone is here. Let's get started! ”

Ivan grimaced and said slowly: "There may be something bad that will happen to us again." Our satellites have spotted a meteorite coming towards us 'lucky'. Let's ask Dr. Tamin to explain to us what is going on! With that, he looked at Tamin.

Tamin glanced at the familiar faces of the people standing near him: "The trajectory of that meteorite cluster, we estimate that it will probably pass us, but it may coincide with the trajectory of our 'lucky star', that is, it may collide." Because it's still far away, I guess I'll have to wait for the 'lucky' time to be ** months later. The exact time, as well as its trajectory, still have to be observed and calculated. ”

Someone asked, "What you are talking about is estimates, can you give a specific data?" Can you tell us what the probability of a collision is? ”

"Hmm!" Ta Ming thought about it for a while: "The probability of collision is about ten percent." ”

Someone else asked, "Why, what about the probability of passing us?" Isn't that the remaining percentage? ”

Ta Ming grinned slightly: "That's not, didn't I say that his trajectory remains to be seen?" So the probability that it rubs us by! That's 20 to 30 percent. ”

Man: "Yo! It adds up to 30 or 40 percent, which is not low. ”

Tamin explains: "As it brushes against us, it seems to be moving between us and the sun, closer to us, of course. ”

Someone asked, "How big is it?" ”

Ta Ming glanced at Ivan, and his face showed helplessness: "Its size is not small, its length may be millions of kilometers, and its width is hundreds of thousands of kilometers." ”

There were several people who couldn't help but say, "Wow! "Scary!" "It's not small" shouted loudly or quietly, followed by a burst of scrubbing in the crowd, and even loud head-to-head exchanges in the back.

One person even said, "If you hit us, we'll be surrounded." ”

Tamin received: "Siege?!" The encirclement is good, but if the meteorites in the meteorite cluster are large in diameter and weight, they will fall directly to the ground through the atmosphere of the 'lucky'. Think about what it will be like then?! He paused for a moment, watching everyone look at him with round eyes: "The 'lucky' surface creatures are going to be stirred up by the shockwave" (to be continued.) )
