Chapter 159: What the hell is the Anomalous Countermeasures Bureau fighting against?
NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration)。
It is an administrative scientific research institute responsible for the development and implementation of the United States' space program, and the conduct of research in aeronautical and space science.
It has the world's most authoritative aerospace research institute, sharing its research data with many national and international research institutions.
And right now in a room at NASA,
"Jerry, there's no need to continue the calculations, the data department has done enough calculations that this meteorite will not fall to Earth."
"It will soon be captured by the gravitational pull of the moon, and the moon will be blocking meteorites for us as it always has been."
A man in a blue casual suit walks into the room with a cup of coffee.
Looking at Jerry, who was still trying to calculate based on various observational data, he couldn't help but speak.
The intern, Jerry, has a Ph.D. in mathematics and physics from Princeton University, and his academic achievements are among the top among young people.
But he's good at everything, he's just too responsible.
With a great passion for the aviation field, Jerry strives to be perfect in every task after entering NASA.
In fact, the two of them assigned to this task can lie down for a few days with peace of mind.
"Until the final result is out, nothing can be absolutely certain."
"Since the above has allocated three days for this mission, then it can't be wasted."
"Tom-senpai, please let me count two more times before eating."
Jerry heard Tom's complaining and continued his work without looking back.
Hearing this, Tom also shrugged helplessly.
Then it's time to sit down in your seat with your coffee cup in hand.
While sipping the coffee in his hand and looking at the busy Jerry, Tom always felt that he saw his former self in Jerry.
When he first joined NASA, he was also so arrogant, conceited that he was born in the Ivy League, thinking that learning in this world is everything.
But then everything changed.
Too many people in the world are fooled into thinking that the air in this country is sweet, and they always think that there is no such thing as Hawking who has to get up and drink here.
Actually, the muddness here is not inferior to any other place.
Political donations, nepotism, power trading...... These things are not missing anywhere.
Tom was infected not long after he entered NASA, and many things are actually impossible to avoid when he is in a dye vat.
For example, NASA's best job of cheating scientific research funds, Tom has been very proficient.
Looking at Jerry, who was still innocent, Tom couldn't help but think about when to take him into the door of the new world and cheat his superiors a little bit of money.
Is it time to say that the country on the other side of the ocean has plagiarized their technology and needs to increase financial allocations to take measures to maintain cybersecurity?
Or is it a rumor that the space station launched by the Europa consortium actually contains highly threatening space-based weapons, and it is necessary to increase financial allocations to make a series of countermeasures?
Tom thought carefully about the plans that needed to be considered more carefully.
After all, because of the sudden construction of an inexplicable organization recently, excessive financial expenditures have naturally made NASA's funding drastically reduced, and cheating funds is no longer like before to make a ppt.
Thinking of this, Tom couldn't help but grit his teeth a little.
He didn't know much about the outrageously high-ranking new department, only that they not only had no restrictions on funding, but also what they wanted in terms of talent and equipment.
Even the forces of the military seem to have been moved at will by that department, sending a force to the San Cristo Mountains for several months.
There is such a department, which makes him subconsciously hate it.
As he was taking a big sip of coffee, he suddenly heard Jerry next to him exclaim.
“oh! god! ”
There was surprise in the voice.
Tom subconsciously looked at Jerry when he heard this, only to see Jerry staring at the computer screen in front of him with wide eyes.
The gesture of wanting to stuff his head into the computer, the look that was so wide that it seemed like he was about to stare out, made Tom chuckle in his heart.
What did this find?!
He hurriedly put down his coffee and ran to Jerry's side in a few steps.
Looking at the data on the computer, he frowned for a moment, and then said to Jerry, "This is the data of that meteorite?!" ”
Tom just glanced at the data and understood why Jerry was surprised.
Two minutes ago, the meteorite suddenly changed.
The meteorite, which had long been observed by NASA, not only did not follow the trajectory derived by the computing department, but could even be said to operate in a way that was completely beyond all astronomical cognition.
According to the data, when it came to the range that was about to be captured by the moon's gravity, it suddenly and strangely abruptly stopped in space.
It was as if an invisible hand was holding it down.
It is well known that if an object is not affected by external forces, it will remain at rest or move in a straight line at a uniform speed in space.
This meteorite, which was originally moved by the gravitational pull of the Earth and the Moon, suddenly came to an abrupt end as if it had no inertia, which was simply outrageous.
Then this pause didn't last long, and after three seconds, most of the data disappeared in an instant, as if it had disappeared in place.
This made the experienced Tom couldn't help but frown.
Such a situation is unheard of.
It doesn't matter if the meteorite suddenly stopped traveling in space, and now it even "disappears" directly? What's going on here?
"How many optical observation instruments can be observed in this vicinity?"
Tom subconsciously asked Jerry.
This strange situation, which had never been heard of before, was not clear enough to rely on electromagnetic radiation alone, and he wanted to see with his own eyes what was happening.
"Huaguo's Queqiao-1 exploration satellite and Europa's Mani exploration satellite should be able to observe the corresponding optical images."
"And in our country, the optical observation angle of the Artemis 2 lunar exploration satellite can definitely see the meteorite that was near the moon at that time."
Jerry said to Tom after a little search of the world's NASA-owned equipment, comparing and calculating whether the perspective of each device could coincide with the trajectory of the meteorite.
As he spoke, he applied to transfer the optical observation image recordings of the Artemis 2 lunar exploration satellite.
The next moment, the image on the screen became an optical observation image record of the Artemis 2 lunar exploration satellite.
The empty and dark space and the gray and silent land of the moon immediately come into view.
In the sky, there are scattered meteorite fragments falling down like raindrops, which looks extremely spectacular.
Tom and Jerry watched with their mouths wide open.
What they didn't expect was that the meteorite that suddenly disappeared from the observation data actually exploded for some unknown reason?!
After a long silence, Jerry immediately moved forward.
This is a live broadcast of the optical observation images of the Artemis 2 lunar exploration satellite, with a signal delay of only about three seconds to Earth.
They desperately wanted to know what had happened when the meteorite data disappeared two minutes earlier.
Soon, as the two adjusted, a new picture appeared in front of them.
In the corner of the optical image, a small meteorite occupies part of the image, following the path originally calculated by NASA.
Everything seems to be nothing special.
Until a certain moment, the meteorite abruptly stopped its movement.
Three seconds later, half of the meteorite exploded into a cloud of powder, and then it was carried away by the force of the explosion in the direction of the earth.
The other half of the meteorite was blown into countless larger pieces, captured by the moon's gravity, and a meteorite rain fell on the moon on the spot.
Tom frowned and asked Jerry to adjust the scene again to the moment before the explosion, to the moment when the meteorite came to an abrupt halt.
He then asked Jerry to zoom in on the meteorite as much as possible without compromising the clarity.
This is aided by the powerful features that come with NASA's professional equipment.
As the picture continues to zoom in, Tom and Jerry are also swallowing and waiting.
Finally, in the slightly blurry video, there is a picture that makes Tom and Jerry can't help but freeze in place.
Under the powerful camera of the lunar exploration satellite, a small figure was vaguely recorded.
Compared to the huge meteorite, this figure is very insignificant.
But just before the meteorite's trajectory, the figure held out a hand.
Then, the meteorite stopped.
Obviously, the pause of the meteorite was held down by the figure directly reaching out and holding it down in an extremely unscientific way.
Ignoring the sheer mass, but also the pressure.
It's like a superman with a biological standpoint, just one person standing there and stretching out his hand, and it is easy for the meteorite to stop directly in place.
It's hard to imagine how much power and technology is involved.
And the subsequent explosion is probably inseparable from that person.
Looking at this scene, Tom and Jerry looked at each other and subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
Extraterrestrial life? Supernatural powers?
Speculations kept flashing through their minds.
It's really outrageous that this kind of picture.
The more knowledgeable they are, the more they understand what this really means.
"What now?"
"Director Tom, it's the first time I've seen this meeting."
Jerry swallowed and looked at Tom a little confused.
He was just an intern, and he just joined NASA when he encountered this kind of thing, which really made him a little confused for a while.
And looking at Jerry's eyes, Tom also pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly.
He said this as if he could see this kind of scene often.
What to do......
Naturally, he reported it quickly, and he didn't know what to do about this kind of thing.
It's better to give the above character a headache, he honestly waits to sign a confidentiality agreement, and then "voluntarily" goes to a remote area to carry out a confidential long-term mission.
Of course, I just don't know if the old commander who picked himself up with one hand, the NASA administrator who likes to take the lead in cheating funds, will be speechless because of this news.
……………………………………
"The alien hearings are all out."
"There is really a hand, we in NASA, known as the light of mankind, dare not cheat money so openly."
The NASA administrator looked at the live broadcast of the alien hearing held in Congress today, and couldn't help but pout and complain helplessly.
A few days ago, a former Air Force intelligence officer and a number of retired generals jointly filed a public inquiry with the state officials, and the content of the question was basically as follows: The state wants to explain the information about aliens that it has been withholding for many years.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole country exploded.
After all, this is because several former high-ranking officials have come forward to say that aliens really exist, which makes people unconsciously feel that it must not be a joke.
Most of the people are so concerned about this matter that today an unprecedented alien hearing was held in the House of Representatives.
Such a magical reality made the NASA administrator can't help but be amazed.
He doesn't know if there are aliens.
This is nothing more than a game between a bunch of groups for the sake of interests.
Probably because the power of the new department has been so great lately that many other interest groups have directed and staged such a show, wanting to get back some of the benefits they could have obtained.
He didn't want to get involved in that.
After all, he was high enough to know the inside story and understand what that new department called the Anomalous Investigation Bureau meant.
It's really too much to want to fight with them for power.
After a moment of silence, the NASA commissioner looked at the computer open on his desk.
Instead of watching the live broadcast of the magical alien hearings in the House of Representatives, it is better to continue to take a look at the recent progress of NASA research in various aspects.
"Huh? The most urgent level of information. ”
Looking at an encrypted file with a red warning, the director subconsciously frowned.
He clicked on the document with a serious face.
Inside is a video of a meteorite explosion.
"This is a meteorite that has been observed before that will be captured by the gravitational pull of the moon."
"Was it a direct explosion? What's going on here? Didn't the computing department say that it would be captured by the gravitational pull of the moon? ”
The director muttered, not yet aware of the seriousness of the problem.
The next moment, it wasn't until he saw a zoomed-in image attached to the bottom of the video that he finally realized why this was red warning-level information.
“?!?!?!!!!”
At this moment, the director's expression froze.
What did he see?
A person, stopped the meteorite with his hand, and then blew it up?
Such a picture made the director open his mouth wide.
Is it April Fool's Day? The person below would send him such a message?
Or is this a new type of fraudulent funding project? Can't even think of a reasonable reason?
Looking at the sender named Tom, the director felt that maybe he was really cheating on funds.
But the bright red warning level mark told the director that this information was not a joke or a fraud of funds.
All kinds of complicated thoughts in my heart are constantly flowing.
Suddenly, the Director remembered the Anomalous Countermeasures Bureau that had been formed against the supernatural forces.
Could it be that this person who stopped and crushed the meteorite has the so-called extraordinary power?!
In that case, what is the anomalous countermeasures bureau that has been set up against the transcendental?!
You usually fight against this kind of monster?
It's a blessing that the world is still safe and sound.
Thinking of this, the director subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
He then sent the encrypted file to Andrew, the Anomalous Countermeasures Bureau.
This kind of thing, let's let others have a headache.
He didn't know anything about this superhuman-like fierce man, and he didn't want to know anything.
