As Mr. Sun spoke, he slowed down the video, and everyone immediately focused their attention on the screen.
【7:59:58--7:59:59--8:00:00】
As the last second ticked to 8 o'clock, a massive meteorite with a diameter of 23 kilometers instantly appeared on the screen.
……………………………………………
"Hmm? Mr. Sun, what do you mean by this?"
"Did the video freeze? How did a meteorite suddenly appear?"
"Am I seeing things? That meteorite suddenly appeared in space."
Upon seeing the enormous meteorite that suddenly appeared in the scene, everyone present was stunned, their faces filled with deep confusion.
The high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom on the screen also frowned slightly, not understanding what Elder Sun meant.
Old Sun seemed to have anticipated the crowd's reaction. He waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, then picked up the microphone and continued speaking.
"I know you are all confused, but don't be confused yet. I will slow down the speed to the minimum, and you will see why at a glance."
Mr. Sun rewound the video to the previous two seconds, and then slowed it down several times.
As the play button was pressed again, all eyes in the room were once again fixed on the screen.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds...
Soon, the previously peaceful scene began to change, and a huge meteorite gradually appeared in the picture.
At that moment, everyone present clearly saw the instant the meteorite appeared.
The meteorite in the picture looks like an orange being slowly peeled.
The meteorite's surface was as if covered by an invisible barrier, which is now gradually fading away.
Finally, the entire meteorite appeared in the frame.
"This...this...this! How is this possible? How is this possible! What on earth is that thing?!"
"I...I saw something! That...that meteorite...My God, I don't even know how to describe it!"
"How did this meteorite even appear? Does parallel universe really exist?"
"Impossible, this is impossible! This must be some kind of light refraction, this meteorite must be fake!"
"It's... unbelievable! The appearance of this meteorite is like teleportation!"
The room erupted in a frenzy, with everyone standing up from their chairs, their faces filled with shock, fear, and disbelief.
All the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom on the screen stared wide-eyed; they had never seen such a bizarre scene before.
Of course, they weren't the only ones shocked; space research institutes in various countries across the planet were also stunned.
Everyone witnessed this scene—a bizarre, shocking, and inexplicable situation.
"Quiet! Everyone, please be quiet!"
Old Sun shouted into the microphone, but to little avail; no one listened.
At this moment, an officer in the corner quickly stepped forward, took the microphone from Old Sun's hand, and shouted loudly.
"Everyone be quiet!"
The sound roared like thunder, and all the noise stopped abruptly.
Thank you.
Mr. Sun thanked the officer, who nodded in response, handed the microphone to Mr. Sun, and then turned and left.
"Comrade Sun, how much time does this meteorite have left to reach Earth, and where will it land?"
A high-ranking official from the Dragon Kingdom on the screen asked a question, and everyone's attention immediately turned to Elder Sun.
"Based on data calculations, this meteorite is only 19.44 million kilometers away from Earth and is expected to arrive in about 15 days. The landing site is expected to be in the central Pacific Ocean."
Old Sun answered immediately.
The room fell silent upon hearing this, and the faces of all the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom were filled with utmost seriousness.
The entire conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; an extremely oppressive atmosphere filled the room.
"Phew... Only 15 days left? We understand. Now, please continue to monitor this meteorite. We will discuss a plan within today."
One by one, the figures of high-ranking officials from the Dragon Kingdom disappeared from the screen, and the entire huge screen returned to its original state.
"15 days...only 15 days left, does that mean we...only have 15 days left to live?!"
"Only 19.44 million kilometers left, what should we do? Can we stop this meteorite?"
"Stop it? How do we stop that thing? It's a super meteorite with a volume of 23 kilometers!"
"It's over...we're finished. Once that meteorite hits, the entire planet will be destroyed!"
"Waaaaah...waaaah, is our...our human civilization about to disappear?!"
The entire conference room was filled with sobs and cries, and many researchers with poor mental resilience even fainted.
"Sigh... are there only 15 days left...?"
Old Sun sighed heavily, feeling as if he had aged several years in an instant.
...
The news spread like wildfire, and soon all the top leaders of all countries knew about it.
After communicating with each other by telephone, the top leaders of all countries unanimously decided to hold a global conference, a meeting that would determine the survival of all mankind.
Of course, this conference was held in secret, and this news is not allowed to be revealed to the outside world yet. If the residents outside find out, it will cause an uncontrollable panic.
...
"A 23-kilometer-long super meteorite, it seems this is the impending disaster. But what does this mean? Is it trying to wipe out everyone, including the players, in one fell swoop?"
"But this is making a mountain out of a molehill. There is no need to use such a method. Man-made disasters and natural disasters can easily wipe out all of humanity if the intensity is increased slightly. But now they are directly using meteorites..."
Looking at the information displayed on the screens in front of him, Mo Ran couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"23 kilometers...23...Mouse, how big was the gap on Pluto that day?"
Mo Ran seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked Shu Shu.
"Report to the train commander! The gap discovered on Pluto that day was 23 kilometers long."
As the cold, mechanical voice of the mouse rang out, Mo Ran began to have a sliver of certainty in her heart.
"Both are 23 kilometers. Could it be that this meteorite came from Pluto, which would explain why there is a gap in the atmosphere?"
"Hmm! This possibility is probably very high. Coupled with the camouflage protection on the surface of the meteorite, it can be basically confirmed that this meteorite was sent here by some means."
Thinking about the videos she had seen at the research institute, Mo Ran's thoughts became even more certain.
"It seems that this meteorite is probably just a smokescreen. The real disaster is something else, and this is just a way to spread panic."
Mo Ran could already imagine what would happen when all of humanity on the entire planet Blue Star learned of this news.
The world will no longer be peaceful; fear and despair will take over the heart of everyone.
The riots and chaos will continue to escalate, and everyone will die in despair.
