Chapter 489 Falling On This Earth
For ordinary people, watching meteor showers is a symbol of romance.

But for the students of the astronomy department, watching the meteor shower represents homework.

It may be a novelty for freshmen to watch meteor showers at the observatory for the first time, but for sophomores and juniors, meteor showers are torture.

There are seven or eight meteor showers that regularly visit the earth every year. These are large-scale meteor showers with an hourly meteor flow of more than [-]. For those unnamed meteor showers, the number of meteor showers is relatively small, and there are more meteor showers. .

Zhou Kai is a student of the Department of Astronomy, and today is the time for the Perseid meteor shower to visit the earth again.

As an old fritter in Yanyi, he almost threw up watching the meteor shower.

Fortunately, today he doesn't need to observe by himself, but to write an observation report.

He just wanted to sit on the side and guide his apprentices to make observations.

"The Android meteor shower belongs to the group of high-speed meteor showers, so don't chase after the observation, just fix an observation area. I have already adjusted the astronomical telescope for you. You go up one by one to watch it, and then go down after watching it.

Well, that school girl, you come to the first observation. "After Zhou Kai said briefly, he arranged for a school girl to observe.

Why is it a school girl?
Nonsense, of course the single dog has to take care of the junior, in case the junior is blind.

"Thank you, brother."

The junior girl thanked her sweetly, almost making Zhou Kai's bones go numb.

Soon, the girl began to observe, Zhou Kai took out his mobile phone in boredom, and started playing games.

After a while, Xuemei's face was a little confused.

"Senior brother, this meteor shower is wrong, it's so fast." The school girl said to Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai didn't raise his head, and said copiously, "It's about right, it's that fast, don't be surprised."

"Brother, it's really fast." The school girl said with a dazed expression.

"That's right, that's right, it's really fast, but if you watch it too much, you won't think it's fast." Zhou Kai still didn't look up.

"No...brother, those meteorites seem to be falling down." The school girl was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"That's right, if the meteorite doesn't fall, how could it become a meteor shower?" Zhou Kai still didn't look up.

"Brother..."

This time, the school girl didn't finish speaking, when the sky suddenly lit up.

Zhou Kai raised his head subconsciously, wanting to see which idiot turned on the light, but found that the light tube was not on, but the sky was bright.

"Fuck... something serious happened."

Zhou Kai was a little dumbfounded looking at the tails of meteor showers in the sky.

Normally, the meteor shower is in the atmosphere, and when it burns out, it will be gone.

But something is wrong with the current meteor shower. The fragments of these comets did not float in space, but hit the ground directly at a good angle.

Although this will also burn in the atmosphere, the burning time is different, and not all meteorites will burn out.

Then, the unburned meteorite hit the earth, no matter how small it is, its power is astonishing.

If the meteorite was larger, the effect would be exaggerated.

"Teacher, something serious happened."

Zhou Kai hurried to the lounge and woke up the teacher.

"What happened?"

"Teacher, you will know when you come out and look."

Soon, the old professor, who was in his fifties and almost sixty, almost had a heart attack after seeing the astonishingly bright meteor shower in the sky.

"Quick...quick...quick, calculate the data." The professor shouted hastily.

"Ok."

Zhou Kai immediately started to operate the computer, input the data of the meteor shower, and then began to calculate.

Soon, the orbit was calculated.

"r-value: 2.6
Average speed: 89km/s
Radiant point drift: right ascension 012 degrees declination + 51 degrees..."

Before Zhou Kai finished speaking, he was interrupted by the professor.

"Don't talk about that, where is the orbit of the meteor shower?" the old professor asked.

"Secret fruit beauties in Shanjing City, Shengkela County, Yazhou." Zhou Kai replied.

"Fortunately, fortunately not in China."

The old professor breathed a sigh of relief, since the landing point was the secret fruit, he didn't have to worry about the secret fruit.

"Brother, this place sounds so familiar." The junior sister asked.

"This place is the Ghost Valley of Secret Fruits." Zhou Kai pouted.

When Hualixia is at night, Miguo is in daytime.

Miguo also has astronomy enthusiasts, but if he wants to watch the meteor shower, he usually needs to wait until night.

But today, it is obviously not normal.

There is a common sense that many people may not know, that is, at the moment when the meteorite is about to pass through the atmosphere, the burst of light is very dazzling.

Even in the daytime, that kind of light can be clearly seen, just like a sun suddenly appearing in the sky.

But today, there is not only one more sun in the sky of Miguo Jiali Fuli Yazhou, but many more suns.

Almost 2 meteorites pass through the atmosphere every minute, although there is nothing left of the meteorite itself, some may be as small as the size of a fingernail.

However, these fingernail-sized meteorites are also much more powerful than bullets.

Not to mention that there are still some fist-sized meteorites, which are very powerful.

With Hugging the Stars Manor as the center, within a radius of [-] kilometers, all are the targets of meteorite attacks.

I saw meteorites passing through the atmosphere with difficulty, kissing the earth of Miguo.

Whoosh...

Boom boom boom...

There are two or three meteorites every minute, kissing the earth of the secret fruit.

A small meteorite can hit a crater at most.

The large meteorite can produce the effect of hellfire. The ground around the entire impact point melts and turns into magma.

At this time, the astronomical departments of various countries have already calculated the current situation, and they maintain sympathy for the secret fruit.

The secret result at this time is that General Manager Xiaopu is having a meeting with the think tank and listening to reports from astronomers.

"Mr. General Manager, according to our observations and calculations, the reason why this Perseid meteor shower has such a situation.

It is because its parent comet Swift-Tuttle has deviated from its orbit, and the new orbit is very close to the orbit of the earth.

This caused the debris of Swift-Tuttle to be attracted by Earth's gravity on a large scale, which eventually led to the current situation.

But the good news is that Swift-Tuttle, as a comet composed of ice and sand, will not have too many massive fragments to be stripped off, so we don't have to worry about the arrival of a world-killing impact. "The Astronomer Hui reports.

"Well, if that's good news, it's the worst good news we've heard this year.

Then, professor, when will the disaster that Miguo encountered will stop, I will hold a televised speech soon, please give me an accurate data. General Manager Xiaopu continued to ask.

"This...Mr. General Manager, according to the scale of the Perseid meteor shower, this time will... last until the 23rd of next month, with a total duration of 37 days." The astronomer said tangled.

In an instant, everyone in the conference room was stunned.

Meteor showers will be fine for the next month, but this is not a meteor shower right now, this shit is on the same level as a troublesome attack.

"Professor, it's not that I question your data. You must know that the earth is round. It's impossible for meteor showers to just stare at us and bomb them." A member of the think tank asked.

"That's right, the earth is round, and it's still autobiographical. But the radiant point of the meteor shower is not fixed, it also drifts." The astronomer said helplessly.

"so what?"

"So this Perseid meteor shower will basically fall on the land of Miguo, which is Jialifuliya Prefecture."

"...Inform Mr. Guo Wuqing, please ask him to give a national TV speech. I have a headache and need to see a doctor." After hearing this conclusion, General Manager Xiao Pu directly blamed him.

Just kidding, let me tell the people.

Don't be afraid, everyone, this meteor shower will not defeat the world, and it won't last very long, that is, more than a month.

If he dares to say that, his approval rating will drop to the lowest point tomorrow.

At the same time, Lin Fan also received the news.

He felt deep sympathy for what happened to Miguo. Jialifuliya had just experienced a major earthquake, and then there was another wave of meteor showers. That place really has bad feng shui.

Seeing meteors streaking across the sky, Lin Fan took out his cell phone.

There should be BGM at this time.

"Accompany you to watch the meteor shower, fall on this earth, let your tears fall on my shoulders..."
