After a one-hour nap, Gao Ang was woken up on time by his alarm clock.
Actually, he doesn't need an alarm clock at all; he can just set a time for himself to wake up automatically.
He is now like a very sophisticated human machine, capable of self-regulation of both his thoughts and his cells with relative ease.
Let's say he sets a bedtime for himself, say an hour.
His body cells will hypnotize themselves and make their own judgments.
When it's time to sleep, they quickly enter hibernation mode, with only a very few cells remaining active, which can be roughly understood as standing guard.
Some cells will also keep track of time; after an hour, they will notify the other cells to get up and get to work...
"Huh? Where's Chitose?"
This was the first time I woke up and didn't see Chitose in front of me. Before, she would always be standing obediently at the head of the bed.
To be honest, life as a superhero isn't actually that interesting.
One of them is that the fun of ear cleaning is gone...
Just as he was sighing and reminiscing about the past, Qian Sui's voice came:
"Sir, the spy satellite from the mountain country is about to enter the surveillance range. Are you putting on a show for them?"
"Acting? What kind of acting, pretending to be stupid?"
"You don't have to pretend to be stupid, you can show off your muscles." Chitose began to tempt her.
"Come on, slap some muscles. Our hometown is practically under their control. If we pull out some fancy gadgets, I reckon their missiles will just fly right over, and they'll call it collateral damage... At that point, do you think we'll live or die?"
I flicked Qian Sui on the forehead as a warning, telling him what kind of crazy ideas he had.
"Let them take pictures. They'll probably feel frustrated if they don't take any pictures. Just hide well. Anyway, none of you have much body temperature, so even if they use thermal imaging, they won't be able to see anything."
After washing his face and changing his clothes, Gao Ang started cooking.
He started the fire and chopped vegetables in a very conventional way, just like a normal person.
There was no fire created out of thin air, nor was there any attempt to remove the cleaver and iron pot out of laziness; everything was normal, and outsiders couldn't see anything wrong with it.
He still puts a single chili pepper in his food when he eats, because he has loved spicy food ever since high school.
He would hold the chopsticks in his right hand for a while, then switch to his left; this was a habit he had developed.
It was because of a rumor I heard when I was a child that people who can hold chopsticks with both hands are much smarter than others.
Because of this rumor, Gao Ang practiced ambidextrous fighting for a long time. Although his left hand was still not as flexible as his right hand, his basic actions, such as holding chopsticks, were no different from his right hand.
After lunch, Gao Ang tidied up the table and poured some boiled water for Xiao Hua.
"Meow." Baldy, I also want to drink flavored water.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Ang got him a tiny bit of white sugar from the kitchen, strictly controlling his intake, "It's sweet."
Little Flower licked it a few times, "Meow." Not bad, not bad, it tastes great.
Does it smell?
Gao Ang licked his finger and glanced at the water in the cat bowl.
With this amount of water for dilution, the taste would probably be completely bland by now, right?
Xiao Hua actually said, "It tastes great!"... It seems that this kid's sensory sensitivity has improved a lot compared to before.
Gao Ang has always adhered to the principle of refusing to study Xiao Hua.
Aside from knowing that his skin was similarly abnormal to his own, his claws were a bit sharper, and his sense of smell was highly developed, plus the newly discovered highly developed sense of taste, he knew nothing else.
He patted his cat's head and then Gao Ang started washing the pots and pans.
"Sir, according to observations from the observatory, we may be impacted by a meteorite impact wave at 4 p.m.."
Gao Feng, who was wiping his hands, was stunned by a message from Qian Sui:
"Meteorite shockwave? What the heck?"
"It might be the remnant of an explosion of a star or planet in the universe. After traveling for an unknown number of years and distances, it was attracted by the gravity of the planet Earth and crashed about 20 kilometers southeast of Changying Island."
"What's the diameter?"
"Approximately 30 meters in diameter."
"How many?"
The high pitch cracked; it was 30 meters high! If it were to crash down completely, the impact would be tremendous.
Fortunately, there is an atmosphere, so a meteorite with a diameter of 30 meters, after friction and burning, should not be very large enough to reach the ground.
In 2013, a similar incident occurred in Saudi Arabia, where more than 1,200 people were injured by fragments of an exploding meteorite, which was only about 21 meters in diameter.
"Are you sure it won't affect coastal cities?"
Gao Ang did a rough calculation himself, but he still habitually asked Qian Sui for his opinion.
"No, although it's 30 meters in diameter, after a series of frictions, it will probably be mostly burned up by the time it reaches the ground. If it had a significant impact, the higher authorities would have already issued a warning."
That's true. Such a big thing, and there's not even a shred of news about it, which means that even if there are risks, they are all within a controllable range.
"However, there are many suspicious people around us, including our own people and foreigners, and the satellites overhead seem to be making some movements as well."
Chisui added another sentence.
"Is it really that big of a deal? It's just a small meteorite. Aren't there countless meteorites falling on this planet every year?"
"There are many, countless. Just those discovered by humans number at least several thousand, if not ten thousand. There's even a profession dedicated to meteorite treasure hunting, and many people have made their fortunes from these meteorites."
Just a few days ago, a man in a Southeast Asian country was working near his home when a meteorite suddenly crashed through the roof of his living room and landed at his front door. Experts determined that the meteorite is approximately 4.5 billion years old, contains rare extraterrestrial metallic elements, and is worth about £1.4 million (approximately 12.16 million yuan). The meteorite has since been purchased by a collector.
However, after checking the collector's information, I discovered it was a forged document, which eventually led me to the Mountain Kingdom.
After cleaning the kitchen, Gao Yang walked out and strolled around the yard:
"Where do you think the problem is?"
"There are problems with everything: the meteorite, the collector, and the mountain country."
Chitose inherited Gao Gao's suspicious nature, and he would investigate this and that at the drop of a hat.
"Meteorites contain abundant unknown elements and may also carry information from other celestial bodies, which would be very helpful for humanity's exploration of unknown extraterrestrial civilizations. It's understandable that the people of the Mountain Kingdom would spend a lot of money to buy them, right? Have you made any other discoveries?"
Gao Ang turned around and glanced into the inner room, where Qian Sui was standing.
"Yes, I looked up some more public information and found that this practice of collecting mobile phone meteorites all over the world has been going on for nearly half a century. And this is only the history of collection that has been recorded on the Internet; I don't know about the earlier period."
Something unusual must be amiss. This information from Qian Sui made Gao Ang frown.
"Is it only the Mountain Kingdom that's collecting them? What about other countries, like our Eastern Kingdom?"
"In recent years, we have also increased our efforts to collect meteorites, and have even taken legal action against those who discover them..."
After saying that, Chitose copied a news article over.
In July 1986, a herdsman discovered a huge "strange rock" while grazing his livestock on his pasture. After promptly reporting it, the village committee and town government decided to allow him to continue guarding the rock. In 2011, the "strange rock" was identified as a meteorite. In October, the government brought machinery and removed the rock. At the end of 2015, the herdsman and his two sons sued the local government, hoping to reclaim the rock…
"Don't tell me that this family is also being orchestrated by the Mountain Kingdom."
"Indeed, sir, you are incredibly insightful."
The emperor offered a small but significant compliment.
Gao Ang rolled his eyes. He learned that from whoever…
"In May 2015, a huge sum of 5 million yuan appeared in this herdsman's account. The account owner did not intend to hide his information. It was easy to trace. He was a high-achieving student who had returned from studying in the mountain country and was currently working at a special materials research and development center in the mountain country."
"Did they take the meteorite with them?"
Gao Ang was a little anxious. This was found on our territory, we can't let the foreigners take it away.
"No, the final ruling in that case was as follows: According to Article 48 of the Property Law, 'natural resources such as forests, mountains, grasslands, wastelands, and tidal flats belong to the state.' The word 'etc.' means that natural resources are not limited to the above seven categories. Meteorites should also be considered natural resources, and their ownership should belong to the state."
Moreover, according to Article 48 of the Property Law, "natural resources such as forests, mountains, grasslands, wastelands, and tidal flats belong to the state." The word "etc." means that natural resources are not limited to the above seven categories. Meteorites should also be considered natural resources, and their ownership should belong to the state.
Therefore, the "banana people" scheme mentioned by the gentleman did not succeed; the meteorite has been taken away by the relevant departments, and its whereabouts are unknown.
Even a fool could guess that this large meteorite had been transported to some research institute for dissection and study.
"I'm amazed that a meteorite could be involved in a whole series of events over nearly forty years."
"Sir, I suggest we get our hands on this meteorite today."
Gao Ang found Qian Sui's unreliable suggestion interesting and asked, "Tell me your thoughts."
"Sir, look, the Mountain Kingdom started collecting meteorites a long time ago, and our country has recently started collecting them as well. In addition, this meteorite hasn't even landed yet, but there are so many people around, and it's so lively overhead. This means that these meteorites must have some unknown secrets. These secrets are definitely not just about unknown elements, but also about extraterrestrial civilizations, and there must be areas that we have never been to before."
Furthermore, we may have even bigger plans in the future, so I was thinking, could we use this meteorite as a decoy?
"Sir, don't you see? This achieves multiple goals at once!"
Gao Ang thought for a while and realized that what Qian Sui said was indeed correct.
As for the secrets, they're all obvious stuff, just plots from science fiction movies. Who isn't curious?
The competition at the national level has reached a fever pitch, so it's understandable that there's also competition over meteorites.
However, he was quite interested in the name "pretext". The previous ROG, which is now the White Jade Broken Ointment, was the one he used as a pretext to deceive people.
Wouldn't he then be able to travel openly, invent things, and even expose his inventions in the future?
"Not bad, we can give it a try. Come on, let's discuss how to get our hands on this meteorite without anyone noticing."
Based on the simplest logical analysis, once the meteorite falls into the sea, Gao Ang can simply dive over and take it.
However, the situation here is a bit complicated right now. There are eyes everywhere, whether in the sky, on the ground, or even in the water.
He could use his full power field to protect the meteorite and then disappear.
But such blatant little actions, don't they directly tell all of humanity: there are abnormal creatures here?
Moreover, he couldn't achieve his goal of finding a reasonable explanation for his new invention.
Therefore, we still need to find a way to openly and legitimately come into contact with this meteorite, and it would be best if we could take it for ourselves.
"If only the news of the meteorite hadn't spread..."
Such complaints are completely meaningless, but Gao Feng still wants to vent.
"It seems there's only one way out. At worst, we'll just have to go to court."
