Chapter 540 Anxious Deng Ye
·······
Eight hours later, the unusual meteorite arrived near the impact point predicted by observers.
It was an open and flat area on the lunar surface. As soon as the abnormal meteorite hit, an intense circle of flash exploded instantly, accompanied by even stronger shock waves and the release of energy. The aperture quickly expanded with the meteorite's landing point as the center.
In the monitoring hall of Laurel City, 800 kilometers away.
From morning till now, during the few hours when the meteorite hit the moon, Deng Ye and several observers in charge of this wall have not left, and their meals are all nutrient solution.
Several observers were busy monitoring the movement of the meteorite and analyzing what the unidentified object behind it might be. Deng Ye was participating in a meeting at the Blue Star headquarters nearby. The participants at the headquarters had their own opinions and said all kinds of things.
Until just now, everyone witnessed the entire impact process together on the satellite monitoring screen.
50 kilometers away from the impact point.
As soon as the action team's convoy arrived here and found a hiding place, they saw a strong flash of light exploding in the distance to the south. A moment later, they were also affected by the shock wave, but fortunately, the data provided by the monitoring hall was quite accurate. When the shock wave reached their location, the energy had been almost dissipated, and they were not in any danger.
The action team looked in the direction of the impact point, and more than twenty minutes had passed by the time the situation there gradually returned to calm.
The captain received a reminder from the monitoring hall and led the convoy to the collision point and rushed to the scene.
At this moment, a new crater has suddenly formed around the impact point where the meteorite landed. A large amount of dust is still suspended above and around the huge crater with a diameter of seven or eight kilometers.
In the middle of the pit, the unusual meteorite was inserted obliquely into the lunar surface soil. Its surface was smooth and its shape was like a pebble magnified countless times. After experiencing such a degree of impact, it was still intact!
However, the meteorite-related images in the monitoring hall suddenly became unclear. This might be because the meteorite released some kind of interference that affected the satellite. In addition, the large amount of suspended dust around the crater also obstructed the line of sight, so the situation inside the crater could not be seen clearly at this moment.
Even so, we can get a rough idea. The details on the meteorite cannot be distinguished by relying on surveillance footage, but we can vaguely see the almost complete shape of the meteorite.
Whether in the monitoring hall of Laurel City or the conference room of Blue Star headquarters, everyone exclaimed in disbelief.
Deng Ye clasped his hands and looked at the large screen in the middle of the wall in front of him. His eyes kept moving, trying to find something through the unclear picture.
But there was no result.
"Have you seen that thing?" Deng Ye couldn't find it himself, so he asked other observers.
Everyone: “…”
They knew that the minister was asking about the unidentified object that had inexplicably appeared behind the meteorite.
"Just now, the flash was too intense and we lost our target."
"The situation over there is complicated now. It will take some time to re-lock the target."
The observers told the truth.
"how long?"
"Given the current situation, we have to wait until the dust over there is diluted to a certain extent."
Deng Ye took a deep breath in silence. This was not something they could control, and he couldn't force anyone to do anything.
"According to our previous observations, the unidentified object should have landed at about the same time and place as the previous meteorite. Will the other party be hit by the energy of the meteorite's impact?"
"You mean, the unidentified object may have been destroyed? Gone?" Deng Ye asked back.
He actually didn't think so in his heart. He felt that the unidentified object that suddenly appeared would not be that simple. It was very likely not another meteorite. Deng Ye actually had an incredible guess in his mind. He felt that there might be intelligent creatures in that unidentified physics.
The fact that the other party appeared behind the meteorite and followed it was not a coincidence, but a conscious behavior of the other party!
In Deng Ye's opinion, the intelligent creatures that followed this meteorite that looked like a collection of insect eggs were most likely Zerg! Since the previous meteorite was not destroyed while staying in the energy center, the next one would definitely not be destroyed.
The observer shook his head.
"That's just a guess based on observation data. I can't be sure what the situation is. It depends on whether the action team finds evidence at the scene."
The other observers nodded in agreement.
Deng Ye waved his hand.
"Okay, the most important thing for you is to keep a close eye on the meteorite and report any news immediately."
"I will notify the action team to carefully search for clues."
"Yes!"
Deng Ye took a deep breath and raised his hand to send a message to remind the captain of the action team, asking them to be careful and cautious in everything they do after arriving at the meteorite crater. The unidentified object that suddenly appeared and disappeared was really strange.
Deng Ye walked to the side. His account was still connected to the conference room of the Blue Star headquarters, but he had not received any further instructions from the headquarters. He knew that the headquarters was also waiting for follow-up reports, so Deng Ye could only continue to wait.
Laurel City is different from other big cities. The situation here is special. There are many scientific research projects being carried out, and the confidentiality level is not low.
Although Deng Ye is the director of the Laurel City branch of the Psychic Association, and is responsible for the overall safety of Laurel City, he does not have the authority to order everyone to evacuate the secret realm and return to the city. Even the mayor of Laurel City does not have enough authority.
They all have to wait, and only when the crisis reaches a certain level will the headquarters give authorization and he can start to act.
However, although he could not take action at this time, Deng Ye still arranged the action tasks he had planned. Preparations must be made first, and he can start immediately after obtaining authorization.
One after another, "Received." messages were sent back to him from various action teams and other departments. Everyone was prepared, and Deng Ye felt a little more relaxed.
As soon as I relaxed, my thoughts drifted back to Blue Star.
He thought of the martial arts competition preliminaries that had already begun and were still ongoing on Blue Star. The preliminaries lasted for 48 hours. At this moment, at least half of Blue Star's top-level combat forces were working hard in the virtual star network.
The meteorite that "attacked" the moon came at too coincidental a time. The Xia country was just preparing to shift part of its exploration of the secret realm to the moon, and just so happened that a meteorite that was highly suspected to be insect eggs landed on the moon at this time.
If it weren't for the fact that the Zerg and humans were completely unable to communicate, he would have suspected that there was a traitor among humans who passed some information to the Zerg!
If the action team goes to the scene to investigate and confirms that the meteorite is a collection of Zerg eggs, it means that the moon is no longer safe and the Zerg have already extended their evil hands here.
Then the rewards for this competition from Xia Country might not be fulfilled. This...
Even though everyone knows that this was an accident and the Zerg's fault, the fact that the Xia country officials made such a big fuss about it will still be gossiped about.
Deng Ye was in mixed feelings. If that time really came, the situation he, as the director of the Laurel City branch, would have to face would be very tricky.
Although Laurel City and the Psychic Academy are both protected by large defense formations, there are many secret passages scattered throughout the moon. Although they have built strongholds to protect each passage, the building materials are all high-quality materials containing animal-repelling wood.
However, that can only reduce the possibility of the Zerg approaching the stronghold. If they really have to face the large-scale Zerg swarm like the one on Blue Star, those small stronghold buildings will not be able to withstand the impact of the Zerg swarm.
The secret realms that have been developed on the moon are either scientific research bases or planting bases, and there are many scientific researchers and other personnel working in the secret realms.
How many people does he have under his command? It is already good enough to transfer all the staff in the secret realm back. He is not capable of keeping the secret realm safe.
The more he thought about the situation he would face, the more difficult it would become. Deng Ye's lips were pursed into a straight line.
While he was thinking about various issues, the picture on the big screen facing him also changed.
The dust gradually settled, and the outline of the entire meteorite gradually became visible. Although the image quality was still not clear due to interference, the general situation inside the crater could be distinguished.
Deng Ye moved closer to the big screen with a gloomy expression.
Through such a picture, it is still impossible to carefully search for the trace of the unidentified object, nor can it be confirmed whether there is any debris around.
Still have to wait!
