In the Army Operations Conference Room of Country M at this time.

General House was lost in thought with a meteorite orbit simulation report from NASA in his hand.

The meteorite's low-Earth orbit has just been simulated by a supercomputer, and the latest results show that the meteorite will pass through the Earth-Moon orbit, glide at an altitude of 60,000 meters close to the Earth for a certain distance, and then break away from the Earth's gravitational orbit and finally enter the vast starry sky.

"Bob, do you think it's just a coincidence?" General House asked in a low voice to a staff member in the office.

Bob shook his head and said firmly, "It can't be a coincidence!" ”

"The orbit of the meteorite voyage is unusually accurate, and almost every trajectory is along the maximum gravitational traction orbit of the planet, including the final use of gravity to decelerate in the Earth-Moon orbit, all of which show obvious traces of manipulation calculations, to be honest, at first I even thought it was an attack on the Earth by an extraterrestrial civilization."

Bob hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Judging from the current data analysis, this meteorite will only observe the Earth at an ultra-close range on a cosmic scale, and will not cause damage to the Earth. Our detectors have determined that metal instruments are hidden in the dust of the meteorite's wake. ”

"I'm inclined to think that this is an extraterrestrial civilization's detective on Earth." Bob added.

"Can you intercept this meteorite?" General House asked tentatively.

Bob shook his head: "It's too late, the meteorite's orbit change is too sudden, completely unexpected to us, it will leave the earth in twenty minutes, we don't even have enough time to prepare." ”

"What about fire interception with the nuclear bombs prepared earlier?"

Bob was silent for a moment, and replied helplessly: "General, the price paid for this plan is too great, the orbit of the meteorite is still over the Atlantic Ocean, and the radiation cloud caused by the nuclear bomb will directly affect the west coast of country R and our country, and neither the parliament nor the allies will agree." ”

General House looked a little helpless, the pen in his hand gently tapped on the wooden conference table, and sighed regretfully: "With such an accurate calculation, I believe that whether it is an extraterrestrial civilization or something, there must be technology on this meteorite that surpasses human society, but unfortunately, we can only watch it go to deep space." ”

Standing up and straightening his military uniform, General House instructed Bob: "List all information about this meteorite as top secret information from the Department of Defense, and if conditions permit, closely monitor the subsequent movements of this meteorite, and if you can capture it, it would be best..."

"Now... It's time to go see the shooting stars! ”

General House smiled slightly, and walked out of the room.

Ten minutes before the meteorite arrived, after repeated confirmation by various countries using supercomputers, it was finally determined that the meteorite would not hit the earth head-on, but would fly over the earth at an ultra-close range, and countless people in the know breathed a sigh of relief.

In country Z, the crowd within the meteorite landing site is still required to be in the air defense refuge facility, but the observation area of several hundred meters is set up, allowing the evacuee to move in the observation area, such a requirement is undoubtedly to dispel people's speculation about the war, thinking that it is just a real air defense exercise, except for a few people...

"It must have been a high-level talk... Don't believe it, a friend of my grandson is in Los Angeles, I told you, Los Angeles has just become a mess, drones, helicopters, and armed police forces have all been dispatched, so that everyone can take refuge in air raid shelters, how can there be such a coincidence, country Z is engaged in air defense assault exercises, and country M is also engaged in assault exercises, not to fight I will lose you 200 yuan! "An uncle wearing a short vest and sandals, sitting on the concrete floor of the air defense facility, argued with another uncle next to him.

At this time, in the sky over the Eurasian continent, the aircraft behind the meteorite is using the last remaining energy to adjust the landing attitude of the intelligent core.

"Drop"

Smart Core Crash Landing Countdown: Three, Two, One

Crash landing begins!

The bottom hatch of the aircraft's control room suddenly opened a thumb-sized hole, and only the bullet-sized intelligent core was ejected and fell straight to Earth.

The size of the intelligent core is almost negligible in the face of the huge meteorite, and the meteorite itself emits a large amount of interstellar dust, so the intelligent core was not detected by any earth probe and quietly entered the gravitational orbit of the earth.

The energy originally reserved for forced landing in the intelligent core has not been exhausted, and the intelligent core adjusts the flight attitude and starts the host analysis program at the same time.

In order to complete the task of information recovery, it is necessary to analyze as much as possible who can obtain the intelligent core to complete the information recovery task with the greatest probability, although this is a hopeless thing, but the built-in program requires it to do so.

"Drop"

The host analyzer is running and is collecting the characteristics of intelligent life individuals...

Collected...

A total of 7088213921 life characteristics were collected...

According to the landing area, 18002831091 parts of life characteristics were screened...

Calculating itemized vital characteristics options...

"Drop"

Fission weapons detected, about to collide ...

A dark red rocket was launched into the air, speeding towards the meteorite behind the intelligent core, the nuclear bomb carried by the rocket flew almost directly against the intelligent core, and the radioactive material acted directly on the intelligent core, and all the data just collected by the intelligent core was affected and unreadable.

"Drop"

The energy is about to run out, and then the vital signature information is lost, and the host is randomly selected...

There is only one life feature in the landing point...

Calculate Life Characteristics Option...

The energy is exhausted and the system shuts down.

"Who launched the nuclear bomb?"

Countries M, Z, E, Y, and F immediately questioned each other, but no one launched a nuclear bomb.

"What the hell? Did such a nuclear bomb come out of nowhere? If you check the launch location of the nuclear bomb, haven't you just called to confirm that the meteorite orbit will not hit the earth? The president of country F asked angrily.

A senior general beside him immediately replied: "The coordinates are confirmed, it's CX!" ”

“CX？” The president of country F looked incredulous, and even forgot what he wanted to say.

Soon, the five nuclear-armed states held a video conference, but no one spoke for the first time, and the meeting fell into an eerie silence.

A minute later, everyone received the message.

After the CX's nuclear bomb was launched, it did not even touch the trail of the meteorite, and after the rocket entered low earth orbit with a nuclear warhead, it was again pulled by gravity because there was no follow-up fuel support, and finally fell into the Pacific Ocean, and CX is organizing ships to recover the nuclear warhead.

"Where did they get the data from?" Finally, the leader of country M couldn't help but ask.

"We haven't shared data with CX."

"Same."

"Same."

"Same."

Because it did not cause any damage, although some countries verbally condemned it, in the end, the matter was silenced by the meeting.

The news media got permission from the government to start reporting about the meteorite that was passing through the Earth, and the nuclear bomb that lifted off was deliberately ignored by everyone, after all, it did not cause any impact... In addition to the unknown intelligent core.

"The latest news of this station, three minutes later a meteorite will cross the earth, the size of this meteorite is so small that it is close to the orbit of the earth and the moon before being discovered by observers, this reporter learned that according to the orbit analysis of this meteorite, the meteorite is likely to be from the meteorite group outside the solar system, this meteorite will also be the closest meteorite ever to the earth, for more information, please pay attention to the follow-up report of this station..."

It has been a minute since the meteorite entered low-Earth orbit, but since it has not yet crossed the dawn and dusk line, the white wake is inconspicuous in the bright sky, and many people think that it is a flying jet even if they see it.

Finally, the meteorite flew over the earth's morning and dusk line and crossed the sky over the Indian Ocean, and the bright trail was like a long fireworks in the night sky, which instantly attracted the attention of countless people, and a large number of photos of the meteorite flight were uploaded on the Internet.

Because the meteorite crosses the morning and dusk line, it is most pulled by the earth's gravity, and this is also the moment when the meteorite is closest to the ground, even without telescopes and other observation equipment, the meteorite trail can be clearly seen with the naked eye, and countless people gather their eyes here and record this beautiful moment with their cameras.

In the eighteenth minute after the meteorite entered low-earth orbit, it crossed the Indian Ocean, the Eurasian continent, the Pacific Ocean, and the American continent.

Eventually, the meteorite's speed broke through the constraints of Earth's gravity and once again moved towards the farther depths of space, along with the craft behind it...

Z country, Choshu University.

At this time, it was late at night at Cheung Chau University, and a young man about 20 years old was sitting on the playground of the campus with his mobile phone to record the meteorite in the night sky, and suddenly a marble-like thing smashed on the young man's mobile phone held high, and the young man was startled by the sudden gadget, and dropped the mobile phone on the concrete floor.

"Damn, it's over."

The young man hurriedly picked up the phone and found that except for something that looked like on the back of the phone, everything looked normal on the outside, and the screen was not broken.

"Damn, it's dead."

The huge campus was silent at this time, and the young man scolded and picked up the beer at his feet and took a sip, then put his mobile phone in his pocket and walked towards the dormitory.

"Drop"

The mobile phone screen in the pocket flickered slightly, and a line of garbled characters quickly emerged:

Exposure to energy...

Reboot the Smart Core...

The energy is insufficient, the smart core is turned off...

Exposure to energy...

Reboot the Smart Core...

The energy is insufficient, the smart core is turned off...

"Going out for a drink so late? Brother Li is so emotional. ”

The young man who returned to the dormitory answered vaguely, took out his mobile phone and didn't look at it, plugged in the charger and pressed it on the plug board.

"Smack!"

“？？？”

"There's a power outage?"

"Nima, labor and management are playing in a group!!"

"Li Mingyu, what did you do?"

"What are you calling a dog? It's about labor and management, huh? The whole building is out of power, blind! ”

Not only Cheung Chau University, but the power grid of the entire Cheung Chau City was shut down in an instant.

It was dark in Cheung Chau City late at night, but because it was the early hours of the night, it took an hour or two after a large-scale power outage that the power company reacted and hurriedly arranged engineers to carry out maintenance.

It was three hours after the engineers came to the base station of the power grid, and when they checked the equipment and facilities of the base station of the power grid, they found that all the equipment and facilities were operating normally, but the reserve power originally used for emergency was exhausted.

"There's no reason, the reserve power is prepared for off-peak adjustment of electricity consumption, why did it suddenly run out of power in the middle of the night?" The engineer looked at the depleted device with a puzzled expression.

But since the equipment was operating normally, the engineer only reported the power outage accident according to the procedure, and then it was dismissed.

In Li Mingyu's dormitory, the bright light emitted by the mobile phone that was charging on the table finally stopped flickering at this time, and was replaced by a gray and weak light.

"Drop"

Energy Charge 0.000... 001%。

Smart Core Restart...

Smart Core Reboot Complete...

Target Planetary Information Network Detected...

Connecting to the Target Planetary Information Network...

Acquiring information about the target planetary society...

The energy flow is weak, which reduces the accuracy of intelligent core computing...

Continuously recharged...

In the long night, at Cheung Chau University, an intelligent core that does not belong to the earth landed here, attached to the mobile phone of an ordinary college student named Li Mingyu, and everything seemed to have not changed, except for the electricity meter in the dormitory building that seemed to be crazy.

The next morning, everyone in Li Mingyu's dormitory was still sleeping, and there was a loud knock at the door.

"Open the door, open the door!!"

"Hurry up and get dressed, check the !! of illegal electrical appliances"

The student council officials wore red armbands and shouted at the door.

Li Mingyu got up from the bed scolding, and muttered: "I've been washing cold water for four years, you guys check the illegal electrical appliances." ”

Today is Lee Ming-woo's last day at school, and his college career is coming to an end starting tomorrow, but it is clear that Lee Myung-woo is not ready to step into society.

Glancing at his roommate who didn't react even though the door was about to be smashed, Li Mingyu reluctantly got out of bed and opened the door for the student union cadres.

The person at the door looked quite young, probably a freshman and sophomore junior junior, Li Mingyu frowned and asked, "What's the situation?" On the last day, I also checked the illegal electrical appliances, how funny? ”

The junior brother was obviously a little timid, and said resignedly: "Senior, I'm sorry, the teacher in charge of the student union asked us to come over, and said that we should take a look." ”

At the same time as the student union cadres were checking the dormitory, the director of the school's academic affairs office was in the office at this time and scolded loudly: "What are you making international jokes? Electricity bills to be charged 80 million? Why don't you go and rob a bank? What? That's how much is written in the meter? Do you have a brain? Do you charge as much as you write on the meter? Don't check it? ”

"What? Have you checked the meter and there is no problem? Our school's electricity bill is only about 300,000 yuan a year, and you say that I use 80 million yuan a month for electricity, and you tell me that there is no problem? Don't you know how much electricity you need for 80 million, do you? Let me tell you, we are a key university directly under the Ministry of Education, and we have been blackmailed? ”

"Give me the phone number of the leader of your power company, I will call him personally, but if it doesn't work, I will ask the director of the education bureau to call him in person, and ask the director of the education bureau to ask him whether the school's 80 million yuan a month electricity fund should be approved!"

The dean of academic affairs who hung up the phone smoked a cigarette viciously and asked the student union teacher in charge next to him: "Recently, the school has investigated the use of illegal electrical appliances, have any students used illegal electrical appliances without permission?" ”

The teacher in charge of the student union hurriedly said: "No, we have checked several times this semester, since the school pressed the air conditioner and water heater at the end of this semester, how can there be students with boiling water sticks." ”

The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded in agreement: "Also, illegal electrical appliances are nothing more than boiling hot water, besides, what illegal electrical appliances can burn 80 million electricity?" The current power company is really getting more and more outrageous, and I will report it to the leaders of the Education Bureau another day. ”

"By the way, are all the seniors finished? I'm about to vacate the dormitory, and Mr. Bai asked me about it yesterday. ”

"It's almost gone, the school has notified you that you must leave the school tomorrow, and some students who haven't found a job yet are still living, and they will definitely move out tomorrow?"

The Dean of Academic Affairs immediately discussed the issue of the freshmen who were about to arrive at the school with the teacher in charge of the student union, but he did not mention the 80 million electricity bill.

More than 80,000 yuan can only be recognized by pinching your nose, 80 million? It could only be that the power company didn't wake up.

In Li Mingyu's dormitory, the cadres of the student union only symbolically went through the motions, and the dormitories of these seniors were all cleaned up, and some even dismantled the bed boards, and I don't know what the school leaders thought.

After sending off the cadres of the student union, Hengzhu couldn't sleep, Li Mingyu picked up the mobile phone on the table and went out of the dormitory door, ready to go to the cafeteria to buy some breakfast, last night's wine was not over, he needed to eat something to slow down.

As soon as I walked downstairs, the phone in my pocket vibrated a little.

Li Mingyu took out his mobile phone and took a look, the mobile phone at this time was still black, just when Li Mingyu was thinking about whether the mobile phone was broken, a few words suddenly popped up on the pitch-black screen:

Hello, Lee Ming-woo!
