"what is that?!"
On this day, most people on the planet saw a scene they would never forget.
At 13 o'clock at noon, it is when the sun is at its hottest, but in the sky, there is a round shadow floating from a distance, slowly blocking the sun.
On the ground, people were terrified, looking up at the sky, at a loss.
"Eclipse?"
"Tengu swallows the sun?"
An overseas Chinese's eyes almost popped out of his head. He didn't expect to see such a scene in broad daylight.
"Is it the moon?"
"No way, the moon is not that big!!"
The disc that blocks 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~~~!"
The huge asteroid hanging overhead made many people tremble.
Even the most daring person is worried about being smashed down by this thing and crushed into a pulp.
Fortunately, the 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 surviving a disaster.
…
"How far is the asteroid from Earth now?"
"8000 kilometers..."
"7000 kilometers..."
The staff of the United Earth Defense Agency still did not relax.
Chief Engineer 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 shocked and angry. The distance was already so close. Even if the aliens smashed it into pieces, the fragments falling into the earth would be enough to destroy 99% of all living things.
"Wait, the speed seems to have slowed down..."
Chief Engineer Yang suddenly spoke.
"Are you sure?" Colonel Chu asked quickly.
"No, I'm not sure, but it feels like it's slow..." The wireless signal was interfered with, so it couldn't contact the satellite. It was difficult to control the distance purely by looking at it with the naked eye.
Seeing this, Colonel Chu quickly took out his watch and said: "Report once every 100 kilometers, I'll time it!"
"good!"
Chief Engineer Yang stared at the scale of the astronomical telescope, and when the distance reached 6,900 kilometers, he quickly shouted.
Colonel Chu heard the sound and pressed the timer.
"It's 6800..."
"6700..."
"It's really slow!"
Colonel Chu was overjoyed. On his watch, the time taken for every 100 kilometers increased, which meant that the asteroid's speed was slowing down.
In this way, under everyone's gaze, the asteroid's speed became slower and slower.
"5500 kilometers..."
After Chief Engineer Yang finished shouting, more than ten minutes passed. Colonel Chu couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Isn't it 5400 yet?"
"without!"
Chief Engineer Yang was also a little surprised. He took his eyes away from 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 level and not go down..."
He quickly switched the scale and began to pinpoint the position.
After a while.
Chief Engineer Yang's voice was full of joy and he said loudly: "Stop, really stop, 5428 kilometers, it has been stopped here for a long time!!!"
"let me see!"
Colonel Chu quickly pulled away from Chief Engineer Yang and got closer.
In the lens, a dark blue asteroid floats slowly across the sky, always staying on the 5,428-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 the asteroid, they turned it into a satellite of the Earth!"
As Colonel Chu said, he thought of something else and said quickly: "Who will calculate the gravity to see if this asteroid is likely to fall again?!"
As soon as the staff heard this, they all started to take action and quickly calculated the distance between the earth's gravity and the asteroid to maintain equilibrium.
"We have calculated it. 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 interior of the earth..."
"Survived!!!"
"Long live!"
All the staff present cheered at this moment.
A passing cleaning lady couldn't help but feel a little confused when she saw this scene and didn't understand what they were happy about.
However, when she saw the documents and papers scattered on the floor, her expression turned ugly, and she seemed unhappy about the increased workload.
Although it is a fact that an asteroid hits the earth, officials have chosen to hide it from the public.
Even if a civil society organization exposed it, the authorities still spared no effort to cover up this fact.
Except for a small number of netizens who firmly believe that an asteroid will hit the earth, most netizens are still more willing to believe the official.
The majority of people are people like cleaning aunties who are ignorant and have no idea that an asteroid almost destroyed the earth an hour ago.
…
"Dachun, why are you free to come here today?" an old woman asked tremblingly.
The man named Dachun, already an old man in his fifties, couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this.
He is busy playing with his mobile phone on weekdays, and he doesn't even have time to take a look at his mother.
Now, there is no signal on the mobile phone, and no one else around him knows what happened. The only way to get news is the TV set in the old man's home.
"Mom, I came to see you and read the news..."
"Okay, okay, we haven't sat together and watched the news for a long time..." The old man was very pleased and smiled brightly.
This scene did not only happen in this family.
At 6:55 in the evening, the people of Daxia sat in front of the TV in unison.
Today, there was an earthquake again, there was no cell phone signal, and an asteroid flew overhead.
Everyone wants to know, what happened?
Not only ordinary people, but also local units are at a loss. They have not received any notification or warning, nor have they received any response.
It has not happened in nearly 30 years that people all over the country are waiting for the same program at the same time.
"Good evening, dear viewers!"
“About the past two days, I believe most people have heard of the hot topic on the Internet #Asteroid Impact Earth…”
"It is false that the asteroid hits the earth, but it is true that the asteroid wants to be a neighbor of the earth..."
"This asteroid, which people call the Destroyer, did not enter the atmosphere, but stopped 5,428 kilometers away from the Earth..."
"This happens to be a gravitational balance point. Our earth's gravity 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 natural satellites..."
"Viewers, from today on, we have two moons!!!"
