One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 346
Late at night, usually at this time most of the townspeople are already asleep, but tonight's Tuojia Town is doomed to sleepless.

After studying the video for a while, nothing came out, and Wen Zhiyu turned his attention back again.

"Whether this picture is a camera problem or something else, I can't figure out why now anyway, so let's put it aside for now."

Instead of looking at the screen of the tablet, Wen Zhiyu picked up his coat.The outdoor temperature is a little low at night, so you have to wear thicker clothes, and you have to protect yourself from wind and sand.

Because of the weird picture that appeared in the monitoring, Wen Zhiyu's feverish mind was a little bit colder after such a delay, and he rationally analyzed one thing - their equipment is limited, and they are not as experienced as professional meteorite hunters. At this time If you look for it recklessly, you may not be able to find the meteorite. It is more reliable to have a professional take it with you.

"Quick, Da Pan, ask Uncle Du if he has any travel plans, let Uncle Du take us to Lieyun! First come, first served!"

After Wen Zhiyu finished speaking, seeing that Pan Weining was still sitting there, he urged him again.

Pan Weining looked away from the tablet screen and said, "I sent a message to Uncle Du, but he didn't reply. Maybe he's resting now."

Wen Zhiyu didn't believe it: "How is it possible! You haven't seen how lively it is outside. There are quite a few meteorite hunters in Tuojia Town. They acted immediately. Look at the cars on the road outside, roaring past one after another!"

While talking, he looked out the window again.

call--

Another car drives by.

If you stand outside and listen quietly, you can also hear the sound of many vehicles driving on the road in the distance.

It used to be very quiet at this time!
"Of course this kind of thing needs to be responded as soon as possible! Is this looking for rocks? This is looking for gold! This is money! How can meteorite hunters sit still!"

Worried that Pan Weining would not believe it, Wen Zhiyu looked at Feng Yi again, wanting to find an ally: "Feng Yi, do you think what I said is right?"

Feng Yi nodded: "When I bought meteorites before, Uncle Wei said that the movement like this is relatively large, and there are many witnesses. Even if the meteorites found are of average composition, they don't have much scientific research value, but they are traded in the market. The price will still be higher.”

Pan Weining said: "It's not that I don't believe it. From the buyer's point of view, I can also think of it. The fireball made a lot of noise tonight. There must be many surveillance cameras in the town who captured this scene. It will definitely be a hot search on the Internet tomorrow. , Under the blessing of this kind of enthusiasm, if someone finds a meteorite and sells it on the market in the first place, there must be many people who are willing to spend money to satisfy their curiosity."

Seeing Wen Zhiyu looking over, Pan Weining pointed at the phone with a helpless smile: "I know all this, but in this kind of place, in this matter, for our own safety, we have to find a professional to take it with us, otherwise we will rush to the Gobi Desert It’s easy to go wrong. I’m waiting for Uncle Du’s reply, but there’s no movement from him.”

"Maybe it's because I'm busy and don't have time to reply to the message?" Wen Zhiyu thought for a moment, then tapped his palm: "This is easy, I'll drive to him directly, anyway, it's not far away. I'll go there first and see if his home is there The lights are not on at rest, I will turn back immediately without knocking on the door, and I will definitely not disturb them."

Asking Pan Weining and Feng Yi to wait here, Wen Zhiyu decided to drive over to take a look now, otherwise he would not be able to calm down.The interest is high now, and I really can't wait any longer. Instead of sitting here, I might as well drive out and have a look, and take a look at other people's movements in the town.

When Wen Zhiyu left, the house became quiet again.

Pan Weining continued to study the weird scene, Feng Yi returned to the room, thinking about his own affairs.

A few days ago, I practiced with small pieces of meteoroids from the Perseid meteor shower, and I really mastered the skill of [locking the target].

But now, after casting it on the larger bolide, it is obviously difficult.

The bolide has a greater mass and needs to use more energy. It took a lot of effort to pull it out of the way, and the pursuit from behind was almost the blow of Feng Yi with all his strength.

The explosion of the bolide was not entirely caused by Feng Yi's blow. Even without Feng Yi, the fire meteor would have exploded before it hit the ground, but the explosion would not be so thorough, and the brightness of the fire would not be so strong.

He took the water cup handed over by Xiao Jia, which contained not tea, but Feng Yi's special nutrient solution.

Too much energy consumption, a little exhausted.

After drinking a bottle, his complexion looked a little better.

"One more cup." Feng Yi said to Xiao Jia.

While eating compressed biscuits and drinking nutrient solution, he continued to think about Bolide.

too difficult.

It's really hard!

This is only at the meteoroid level, and it is not particularly large.Larger meteoroids can directly cause large-scale meteorite rain when they explode.

The one he fried can only be regarded as mediocre.

However, even at this "average" level, Feng Yi obviously felt strenuous as soon as he got started.

It's like a wild and unruly horse is caught by the reins. If you can't hold it, you can only deflect it a little, but you can't tame it in a short time.

If the ancestors of a long time ago really took action against the "threat enough" asteroid, what a huge force it would be!

Unable to envy, Feng Yi was very weak, and poured a mouthful of nutrient solution to calm his lost heart.

The developmental stage and growth level cannot reach the level of the ancestors. In comparison, it can only be regarded as the initial level and the cub level.

Very weak!
But there is no way, the energy and substances provided by this planet can't meet the needs of the subsequent stage of development at all.

Before that, Feng Yi thought that if those meteors could bring energy matter, it would be fine for him to absorb energy from these celestial bodies.

Those undiscovered meteorites that exist on the planet may be weathered, eroded and disappeared with the passage of time, and the energy substances will also change accordingly. A small part becomes free and precipitates, but most of them are transformed into other substances. is no longer used.

"Fresh" meteorites may have more available energy substances, so Feng Yi will turn his targets to them.

but now.

Feng Yi discovered that these meteoroids, no matter how big or small, contained an unknown amount of energy in each of them.

For example, the bolide smashed by Feng Yi today has very little energy and matter in it.

Maybe the next fireball encountered will have more energy matter inside.See luck.

These are like opening blind boxes.

Not every cosmic fragment contains the energy matter he needs.

Not every piece contains a sufficient amount of energy substances.

Perhaps after decades of hard hunting for stars, the energy and matter obtained still cannot support the amount he needs for one molt.

And every star hunting process will also consume some energy and matter.

It is very likely that in the end, the effort is not as good as the gain, and the gain outweighs the gain.

Actually, think about it too.

Countless cosmic debris breaks into this planet every day, but the total amount of energy matter on this planet is still continuously decreasing.

and so……

"It doesn't work."

Feng Yi was worried.

No wonder my aunt stopped paying attention after studying meteorites for a few years.

Unless there is a celestial body with greater mass and more energy that breaks into this planet, it may bring more energy and matter.

But that level should be a destructive asteroid. Feng Yi himself doesn't know if he can survive a celestial body of this scale!

With such a big fire meteor today, he almost collapsed.

If he is in front of an asteroid with a diameter of one kilometer, he will be like an ordinary person, and his arms will be like a car!

The way of meteorites seems to be dead.

But Feng Yi will continue to try, using the batch of meteorites he bought to practice his hands, wondering if there is a more energy-efficient way to make celestial bodies explode in the air.

If you do nothing and wait for the stone to fall, it will not be his.Then spend money to buy, there are too many things, and it is easy to be targeted.

But if you can't figure out how to save energy, there's no need to fry it.It is easy to be noticed if the movement is too loud, and it may not be worth the loss.It's better not to do it.

Feng Yi was struggling with the issue of energy saving, while Wen Zhiyu, who had gone out to inquire about the news, had already returned in his car.

Feng Yi went to the living room.

Wen Zhiyu was talking: "I drove to Uncle Du's house. The lights were on at his house. I knocked on the door to ask. His family said he had already left!"

As I thought before, for things like meteorites, professional meteorite hunters are quite capable of action.

But at this time, Uncle Du's message came late.

Pan Weining looked at it.

Uncle Du apologized and told them that he had already set off.

"Uncle Du said to explore the road first, and then tell us when the time comes. Operations in the dark are not suitable for outsiders like us. Let's rest first and recharge our batteries. Maybe more information will come out tomorrow, and we will make a decision at that time." How to act." Pan Weining said.

Wen Zhiyu gave a "tsk" unwillingly, he couldn't sleep now, and shared what he had just gone out with:

"All the disabled traffic lights at the intersection were reactivated, and I encountered two red lights along the way.

In fact, there are no cars on the road now. A group of people have already driven out of the town before. Not many people stayed in the town, but everywhere is very lively. "

"I heard some merchants call to order goods and replenish supplies, saying that there must be a lot of customers in the future, and they must be prepared."

"The hotel on the next street is usually so deserted that the waiters are dozing off, but now the lights are on and the rooms are being tidied up."

"Also, as we saw the day before yesterday, the old lady who was very listless on the recliner at the entrance of the small supermarket stood at the entrance of the supermarket tonight and yelled. I don't know what she was talking about. Clear, but too loud!"

Residents of Tuojia Town are not necessarily good at other things, but they are extremely sensitive in this regard.

However, these few visitors from other places don't have anything to be busy with. As Pan Weining said, instead of acting in a hurry, it's better to recharge your batteries and wait until tomorrow to collect more information and see how things develop.

Feng Yi consumed too much tonight, went back to his room and ate another supper, and immediately fell asleep.He really needs energy.

Pan Weining shared that weird video with some of his technology geek friends in the room, asking them to analyze it for him.

And Wen Zhiyu tossed and turned, tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

When Wen Zhiyu woke up the next day, his consciousness was still a little confused. When he opened the window, he heard the sound of airplanes in the sky, and he was refreshed.

He looked in that direction, there was a plane heading to the airport to land.

"Someone is really here!"

Wen Zhiyu ran to the roof and used the camera to observe the license plates of the vehicles on the road.

Sure enough, there are many foreigners!
This is only because the time is short, only people from nearby cities rushed here, and there will be other visitors from farther distances one after another.

This former town seems to be waking up again.

Wen Zhiyu asked his little friend: "Da Pan, was it a bolide last night? This formation is bigger than I expected, why do you feel so nervous?"

Pan Weining didn't know who he was sending messages to, and said, "It's okay, it's about the same as I expected. I have a few friends who plan to come over."

Wen Zhiyu asked: "Why are you here? Looking for meteorites?"

Pan Weining said: "They are usually not interested in meteorites, but they are very interested in yesterday's bolide and the pictures captured in the surveillance, and want to explore the mystery."

Wen Zhiyu: "What's the secret? Are you still studying that blurred picture? Hey, I don't know what happened to the camera. Before shooting meteors, it was quite clear, but last night it suddenly seemed to be blurred. Smart parameter adjustment Can not be done."

Pan Weining said seriously: "That's what I'm talking about! This kind of situation doesn't just happen here, it's the same for everyone else in Tuojia Town! At that time, all the surveillance footage was blurry! There must be some unknown factor causing it! "

"real?!"

Surprised, Wen Zhiyu turned on his phone and checked the news on social media.

Sure enough, there was a fireball-related topic at the top of the hot search list.

Over the course of the night, many videos and photos surfaced on the Internet, most of which were uploaded by other residents or tourists in Tuojia Town, or contributed to self-media and released by big Vs.

Wen Zhiyu clicked in to see the reactions of netizens.

[I heard that the bolide was hit by something, and then exploded [horrified]]

[High speed and high temperature, Bolide disintegrated in the air more than once, normal phenomenon, don't over-interpret it]

【no!This one is so different from the previous ones!Go find the video!You go and see if the ion tail of that bolide has been split, and something catches up from behind and hits the meteor itself! 】

[I have already said that there are aliens on our planet!It must have been hit by an alien flying saucer! 】

[Many of the IP addresses of the person who posted the video are from Tuojia Town. Is this place very remote?It looks like a small place in the video, and I want to visit it too, but it's too far away and inconvenient. 】

[Tuojia Town?The city of meteorites back then!How many people are chasing "stars"!It was very famous 30 or [-] years ago. The generation of parents and grandparents should have heard of Tuojia Town.But that place is really remote, surrounded by a large Gobi Desert]

[I checked it on the map, it's too far away, there is no flight yet, I have to take a plane to the nearest big city airport, and then drive for six or seven hours to get to Tuojia Town]

[Tuoga Town has an airport!In a chat group I joined, some local tyrants have already chartered a plane there!They said they were going to find aliens [laughing and crying]]

Wen Zhiyu thought to himself: No wonder I saw the plane when I woke up, oh, now I heard the sound again, the airport must be very lively today.

Continue to look at the videos of those bolides.

It's really blurry.

Many of the monitoring equipment installed here in Tuojia Town are relatively old models, not as good as his equipment.

Sure enough, many netizens believed that the video was fake:

[Here it is again, the deception of the outdated town is here again! 】

[It feels like this is an organized and large-scale fraud!Is this to trick leeks into cutting? 】

[The marketing account will collect money, let's make money together! 】

[To be honest, this kind of shooting star is really not easy to shoot, but it is not all so blurry.]

[Can you have a clear video!The paragraph posted by a certain big V is so confusing that it looks like it was taken out of cyberspace by someone! 】

All the videos sent out, no matter what angle they are from, are all blurry!
Faced with online doubts, Wen Zhiyu had something to say:

There is really nothing wrong with the camera, and he didn't make it so blurry on purpose!
But that's how it came out!
He himself is wronged!

It's really not my fault!
It must have been caused by some kind of mysterious force interference as Pan Weining said!

At this time, Feng Yi also woke up, scrolling through the messages on his phone.

The airport in Tuojia Town was suddenly full.

There is a lot of news, true and false, on the Internet.

However, under the monitoring of public opinion, those misleading remarks will soon be brought under control.

Open the door to the terrace.There is a wind blowing, and the wind brings too much breath that does not belong to the local area.

Towns that were originally in a state of retirement suddenly revived.

sky.

The sound of the helicopter sounded.

Feng Yi raised his head to look upwards, paused, and retracted the foot that was stretched out to the terrace.

"Feng Yi, what's wrong?"

Wen Zhiyu ran to the terrace and looked at the helicopter in the sky.

"that is?"

"It's from the special investigation team of the United Nations Insurance Bureau." Feng Yi said.

　Sign in!

Zhang said that there should be a few days before recovery.
