The moon base I built was exposed

Chapter 40 We have two moons!

"what is that?!"

On this day, most people on the planet saw a scene that they will never forget.

At 13:[-] noon, it was the hottest time of the sun, but in the sky, there was a round shadow floating from a distance, slowly covering the sun.

On the ground, people were terrified, looking up at the sky, at a loss.

"A solar eclipse?"

"Tengu swallows the sun?"

The eyes of an overseas Chinese almost popped out. Unexpectedly, he saw such a scene in broad daylight.

"Is it the moon?"

"No way, the moon is not that big!!"

The disk covering the sun is very large, like a curtain, almost covering the entire sky.

"Is it a meteorite?"

"No, it's not a meteorite, it's an asteroid!!"

"That news is true, the earth is really going to be destroyed!!!"

"It's over, I don't want to die~~~!"

A huge asteroid hangs overhead, making many people shudder.

No matter how daring a person is, he is worried about being crushed into a pulp by this thing.

Fortunately, this asteroid did not fall in this sky, but gradually moved away from west to east.

The sun came out again, and everyone felt like they were alive after a catastrophe.

……

"How far is the asteroid from Earth now?"

"8000 kilometers..."

"7000 kilometers..."

The United Earth Defense Agency, the staff still did not relax.

Mr. Yang stood in front of an astronomical telescope and personally monitored the trajectory of the asteroid.

"Damn, are aliens lying to us?!"

Colonel Chu was a little frightened and angry, the distance was so close, even if the aliens smashed it, the fragments that fell into the earth alone would be enough to destroy 99% of the creatures.

"Wait, the speed seems to have slowed down..."

Mr. Yang suddenly said.

"Are you sure?" Colonel Chu asked quickly.

"No, I'm not sure, but it seems to be slow..." The wireless signal was interfered, and the satellite could not be contacted. It was difficult to control the distance with the naked eye.

Seeing this, Colonel Chu quickly took out his watch and said, "Report once every 100 kilometers, and I will time it!"

"it is good!"

Mr. Yang stared at the scale of the astronomical telescope, and when the distance reached 6900 kilometers, he quickly shouted.

Colonel Chu pressed the timer upon hearing the sound.

"6800..."

"6700..."

"It's really slow!"

Colonel Chu was overjoyed. On the watch, the time spent per 100 kilometers increased, which meant that the speed of the asteroid was slowing down.

In this way, under everyone's gaze, the speed of the asteroid is getting slower and slower.

"5500 kilometers..."

After Mr. Yang finished shouting, more than ten minutes passed, Colonel Chu couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Isn't it 5400 yet?"

"No!"

Mr. Yang was also a little surprised. He took his eyes off the camera and glanced at the equipment. After confirming that it was correct, he looked up again.

"It's really no problem, it seems to stop at that plane and not descend..."

He quickly switched the scale and began to pinpoint the position.

After a while.

Chief Engineer Yang said with joy in his voice, "It's stopped, it's really stopped, 5428 kilometers, it has been parked here for a long time!!!"

"let me see!"

Colonel Chu hurriedly pulled Chief Engineer Yang away and joined him.

In the shot, a dark blue asteroid slowly drifted across the sky, staying on the 5428-kilometer mark and never leaving.

After watching for a long time, he left the camera and said happily: "They really did it, the asteroid stopped!"

"Unexpectedly, instead of destroying this asteroid, they turned it into a satellite of the earth!"

Colonel Chu thought of something while he was talking, and hurriedly said, "Who will calculate the gravitational force to see if this asteroid may fall again?!"

As soon as the staff heard this, they all started to act, and quickly calculated the distance between the gravity of the earth and the balance of this asteroid.

"I figured it out. Based on the calculation of an asteroid with a diameter of 50 kilometers, when it is 5100 to 6200 kilometers away from the earth, it can become a satellite and will not be pulled into the earth's interior..."

"Survived!!!"

"Long live!"

At this moment, all the staff present cheered.

A cleaning aunt who was passing by couldn't help being a little dazed when she saw this scene, not understanding what they were happy about.

However, after seeing the papers scattered all over the floor, her expression turned ugly, as if she was unhappy with the increased workload.

Although it is a fact that the asteroid hit the earth, the officials chose to hide it from the public.

Even if there are non-governmental organizations exposed, the above is still sparing no effort to cover up this fact.

Except for a small number of netizens who firmly believe that the asteroid will hit the earth, most netizens are more willing to believe in the official.

People like Auntie Cleaning, who are ignorant and do not know that an asteroid almost destroyed the earth an hour ago, accounted for the majority.

……

"Dachun, why are you free to come here today?" An old woman asked tremblingly.

The man named Dachun is already an old man in his 50s, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this.

He is so busy playing with his mobile phone on weekdays that he doesn't even have time to take a look at his mother.

Now, the mobile phone has no signal, and other people around don't know what happened. The only way to get news is the TV in the old man's house.

"Mom, I'll come and see you and watch the news by the way..."

"Okay, okay, it's been a long time since we sat together and watched the news..." The old man was very relieved and smiled brightly.

This scene didn't just happen in this family.

At 6:55 p.m., the citizens of Daxia all sat in front of the TV.

Today, there was another earthquake, another mobile phone with no signal, and another asteroid flying overhead.

Everyone wants to know, what happened?
Not only ordinary people, but even local units are at a loss. They have not received any notifications, warnings, or responses.

It has been nearly 30 years since people across the country waited for the same program at the same time.

"Everyone, good evening!"

"About the last two days, the hot topic on the Internet #小星空气地球# I believe most people have heard of it..."

"It is false that the asteroid hit the earth, but it is true that the asteroid wants to be a neighbor of the earth..."

"This asteroid, known as the Destroyer, did not enter the atmosphere, but stopped at a place 5428 kilometers away from the Earth..."

"Here happens to be a gravitational balance point. The gravitational force of our earth will neither let this asteroid leave nor let it fall into the earth..."

"It can be said that all of us have witnessed history and the birth of a natural satellite..."

"Audience friends, from today, we have two moons!!!"

　Thanks Cang Liu for tipping 200 coins.
