Chapter Ninety-Six: The Sound of the Heavenly Bodies
In the main control room of the Kennedy Launch Center, world leaders and their teams and staff were staring nervously at the big screen.
Due to the speed at which the signal is transmitted and how it is processed by the receiver, there is a delay in the footage sent back from the Rescuer.
At this time, the screen shows the astronauts driving the machine to transport the nuclear bomb off the spacecraft.
"So far so good. ”
The commander in the main control room reported.
Presidents, including Hodgson, breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything is fine, although after the analysis of the staff group, they can hold John XII's thigh to survive the G-10 asteroid impact Blue Star crisis, but this will not push the asteroid to change its orbit and make Blue Star too peaceful again.
Suddenly, someone made a panicked voice, "Oh no, the machine is sinking." ”
Hodgson's heart immediately tugged, and he asked, "What's going on, has something happened?"
"The surface of the G-10 asteroid suddenly changed from solid to liquid for unknown reasons. ”
Some experts explained.
"Swamp?" Hodgson instinctively thought of an environment common on the Blue Star.
The expert shook his head and didn't speak, it wasn't like a swamp, if it was a swamp, the people on the spacecraft would have detected it a long time ago, and they wouldn't have chosen to land on it at all.
Suddenly, someone in the main control room immediately let out an incredible cry, "God, what is that?" ”
Immediately after, with a snap, the screen of the entire main control room turned into a snowflake.
"What's going on, why did the screen turn into snowflakes?"
"The signal is interrupted. ”
"We have lost contact with the Rescuer. ”
There was a panic in the main control room.
"Stuart, call up the video playback immediately, I'm going to find out why the signal is interrupted. ”
The commander in the main control room commanded unhurriedly.
Affected by his calm appearance, the tension of everyone in the main control room also calmed down a little, and soon, the screen lit up again.
This time it's a replay of the video.
"What's that?" Hodgson saw an unknown floater appear on the screen.
"Hills?"
The expert said with a little hesitation, but this hill is too big, and how can there be a hill floating, in this asteroid environment, will the floating hill really not break away from the asteroid and float into the universe?
But soon he didn't hesitate, because a huge eye appeared on the screen.
Unlike what Atlantus saw in his panic, the images captured through the Rescuer were more coherent and complete.
Under their gaze, the G-10 asteroid opened a huge, oval-shaped one-eye.
This one-eyed eyelid has eyelids as deep as darkness, the white white membrane is densely covered with blood-red blood, and the dark pupils seem to be staring at everyone in front of the screen, giving people a crazy feeling.
At the same time as this eye opened, a wide crack suddenly appeared on the ground where the 'Rescuer' landed, and a long tentacle stretched out from the crack, rolled up the 'Rescuer' and swallowed it.
There was a sudden silence in the main control room.
The commander was also confused in the face of this situation, it was good, the reason for the signal interruption was found, but who can tell me what the situation is.
The G-10 asteroid opened its eyes and opened its mouth to eat our 'Rescuer'?
If it weren't for the leaders here, he wouldn't have known how to write a report.
"What is this?" Hodgson said, breaking the silence.
"That wide crack is a bit like a mouth, could it be that the G-10 asteroid is alive?" one expert muttered, "but this is not scientific, how can an asteroid be alive." ”
Is the G-10 asteroid alive? Hearing the expert's words, Hodgson's heart moved and he asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, are there any gods in mythology who are like this asteroid?"
Although the fact that an asteroid is alive is very unscientific, it seems to be very mythical.
"I remember an asteroid called Apophis, a god in Egyptian mythology who represents destruction, chaos, and darkness, but that name was added by us humans ourselves, and his real body was a giant serpent. ”
An expert hesitated.
Are you talking nonsense? Hodgson complained in his heart, but in order to encourage everyone to speak freely, he still smiled and said, "Is there anything else?"
"The dark red planet, the open one-eyed, the living lifeforms, it's a bit like a hell star. ”
An expert spoke freely.
But immediately someone objected, "Hell Star, the planet in Junji Ito's horror manga Hell Star, but isn't that a manga?"
"I just thought it looked a bit like Hell Star, that's why I said it. ”
The expert who said that the G-10 asteroid was an infernal star was refuted and his tone weakened.
He himself felt unreliable.
How can the living forms in the comics appear in reality?
"Speaking of likeness, I think it's more like the outer god Geheros. Someone said suddenly.
When Alexander heard this, he became curious.
The outer god Geheros?
Which god is this?
I've never heard of it.
He asked directly, "Which mythological deity is Geherros?"
"Uh....... The man was slightly embarrassed, "The outer god Geheros is a star-shaped deity in the Cthulhu Mythos, nicknamed the Star of Judgment, alias Big Alarm Clock, the appearance of the G-10 asteroid is relatively close to it, but the Cthulhu Mythos is a book, it is not real. ”
Alexander quickly lost interest, and no matter how close he looked, it was only a fantasy, not a real one.
At this moment, Billborn's secretary walked up briskly with the phone, "Mr. President, call from Professor Ruskin of the Outram Observatory." ”
Billborn took the phone, his face changed after listening, he looked at Hodgson and the others, his face became solemn, "Professor Ruskin from the Outram Observatory called, and they found a strange asteroid near the blue star. ”
"They sent the images they had taken, and they had trouble showing them on the big screen. ”
Soon, someone took the phone and displayed the image on the big screen.
Everyone gasped when they saw the image.
"Isn't this a G-10 asteroid?"
"How did it appear near the Blue Star, is the Outram Observatory mistaken? It can't be so fast. ”
"Did I read it wrong, or did you mistakenly put the footage on the big screen?"
Doubts rang out, but soon they were in no mood to discuss them.
Because they heard the singing.
A song that came from nowhere and doesn't belong to any of the languages on earth.
The song has a strange voice, similar to some kind of alarm, with a strange awkwardness in it, giving people a sense of madness and evil.
