"Report to the commander! An unidentified phenomenon has appeared in outer space."

The sudden sound of the mouse made Mo Ran pause, and then she quickly ran towards the room on the second floor.

Dragon Kingdom - Outer Space Research Institute - Observation Room

"Um... did I see that right? There's a gap in Pluto's atmosphere?"

"I saw it too, but the gap only appeared for a moment and disappeared too quickly."

"Has something new changed on this strange and mysterious planet?"

Inside the observation room, countless researchers stared excitedly at the huge screen in front of them.

Today's observation room is different from usual, as it is filled with a large number of researchers, many of whom are elderly people with white hair and high authority.

The reason everyone has gathered here is that the first radio telescope developed by the Dragon Kingdom is officially put into use today.

However, not long after it was put into use, anomalies were discovered on Pluto.

"Find the scene you just recorded and zoom in on it to display it on the screen."

An elderly man with white hair stood with his hands behind his back, turned to look at the researchers on the control panel next to him, and said.

"Understood, bring up the screen immediately."

The researchers who were called upon quickly displayed a huge image on the screen after a few operations.

Soon, the planet Pluto was presented to everyone in very high definition.

The most striking feature was the sudden appearance of the gap.

The gap is approximately 23 kilometers in diameter, and the time between its appearance and disappearance is no more than two seconds.

"How strange, how come there's a gap in the atmosphere out of nowhere?"

"And look at the shape of this gap, the outermost ring is convex outwards."

"What a strange gap. I never noticed it when I observed it before. This gap looks like..."

The researchers present discussed among themselves, their initial excitement turning into confusion and bewilderment.

Looking at the gap in the image, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines for some reason, as if the gap represented something very ominous.

"That gap looks... like something is coming out of it."

The old man, standing with his hands behind his back, murmured softly, his eyes fixed on the gap in the image like those of a hawk.

...

"Is this the strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared, sprang from Pluto? What could it be?"

Mo Ran stared intently at the screen in front of him, feeling that there was something strange about the gap that had suddenly appeared on Pluto.

"Reporting, Commander!"

"Based on estimations, it is possible that a massive object, 23 kilometers in size, may have emerged from Pluto."

After listening to Shushu's report, Mo Ran's brows furrowed deeply.

"It seems... time is almost up."

...

In the following period, Mo Ran continued to collect various servers, computer versions, and all kinds of electronic devices.

They also acquired a supermarket not far from the villa. The supermarket wasn't very big, and the reason for the acquisition was that Mo Ran had her eye on the underground parking lot.

They sent people to renovate the entrance gate to the underground parking lot, making it sturdy and difficult to damage.

The next step was to place a frenzy of orders, buying all kinds of computer parts, electronic devices, computer boards, servers, electronic terminals, and other equipment online.

"Hmm, that's a huge and terrifying number, but we still need to take some precautions."

With a wave of his hand, Mo Ran summoned hundreds of unmanned attack aircraft.

Each drone is equipped with two 12.7mm heavy machine guns and four miniature missiles.

After doing all this, Mo Ran left the underground parking garage, and the automatic door behind her began to slowly close, finally locking completely.

"Phew~ It's already December, and the weather is really cold now."

She tightened her clothes and took a taxi back to her mountaintop villa.

...

Time passed day by day, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm... Hmph~, since there's nothing else to do, I might as well get up a little later tonight."

Mo Ran wrapped the blanket around herself, preparing to take another nap.

"Report to the commander! An anomaly has been detected in outer space. A meteorite with a diameter of 23 kilometers is rapidly approaching Earth."

The cold, mechanical voice of a mouse rang in her ears, and Mo Ran suddenly opened her eyes with a start, jumping right out of bed.

"Well, looks like I'm not getting any sleep."

After smoothing her slightly messy hair, Mo Ran began to dress methodically.

"Huh? Wait... how many kilometers? 23 kilometers!"

Mo Ran paused in her dressing, her expression turning one of utter shock.

...

Dragon Kingdom - Outer Space Research Institute - Observation Room

"That...that thing is a meteorite!"

"What's going on? Where did this meteorite come from?"

"This meteorite is huge! Quick! Measure its size immediately!"

The tranquility of the observation room was broken by several exclamations in the morning as several researchers stared at the screen in shock.

At that moment, a huge meteorite was displayed on the enormous screen.

"This...this meteorite's trajectory...it feels like it's heading straight for us!"

One researcher said fearfully, but was immediately met with warning glances from several other researchers around him.

"Report this matter to the senior management immediately and make sure they are aware of it!"

"yes"!

"clear"!

One of the researchers, who appeared to be the team leader, immediately gave the order, and the rest of the group hurriedly picked up the phone and started making calls.

Then the team leader turned to look at the researcher, his eyes filled with seriousness and anger.

"To draw conclusions without knowing the facts, are you trying to cause panic? I really don't know how you got in here!"

"I'm...I'm sorry!"

The researchers immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into the team leader's gaze, which seemed to want to devour them.

"This is the outer space research institute, we..."

"Yes...please come quickly."

The sounds of dialing and talking filled the air as each researcher quickly reported the news to various high-level departments.

During this period, all the researchers located at the Space Research Institute rushed here.

"My God, what a huge meteorite! Judging by its size, it must be at least ten kilometers long, or even more!"

"Where did this meteorite come from? We've been exploring for so many years, it's impossible that we haven't discovered such a large meteorite."

"When did this meteorite arrive here? I didn't see a single thing on the screen yesterday!"

Upon seeing the meteorite image displayed on the screen, everyone present was deeply shocked and gradually felt a sense of fear.

A huge question lingered in everyone's mind: Where did this meteorite come from?
