Chapter 1353: Chapter 646: Did a Meteorite Hit the Earth?_3

For instance, Yixing had not yet manufactured a small spacecraft capable of bidirectional travel through space.

However, after the satellite launch succeeded, it already had a significant impact, even affecting a vast number of people all over the world.

——

Deng Kai was an astronomy enthusiast.

In his spare time after work, he enjoyed taking a telescope to the mountain top with friends, setting up a tent in an open area, and then using the telescope to observe the night sky.

He could easily lock onto Jupiter and Venus, and knew a lot about various constellations.

This day was no different.

The night sky at Qianfeng Mountain Top was cloudless, and after having dinner with friends, Deng Kai started observing the night sky through the telescope.

Then he heard a cry of surprise from beside him, "Deng Kai! Deng Kai!"

"Meteorite!"

"A meteorite has struck Earth!"

"What?"

Deng Kai turned his head to see the direction his friend was pointing, quickly adjusted the angle of his telescope, and after a while, he spotted the ’meteorite’ his friend had mentioned.

It was a bright flame.

Even with the naked eye, one could see a shining point of light.

At that moment, the light point was right next to Sirius, even directly blocking the dim light of Sirius, even though it had been a long distance from Sirius beforehand. In other words, the light point was moving very fast, much faster than a meteor, but its movement was clearly visible upon close observation. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"That must be an asteroid, skimming past Earth, maybe already dragged by Earth’s gravity and going to collide after a few orbits."

"God bless!"

"Damn it, just don’t hit us on the head!"

Of course, this was a joke.

Even if a meteorite really were to fall, the chances of it striking right above are extremely slim.

Deng Kai snapped back to his senses, quickly said, "Take pictures! Take pictures! Snap it quickly, post it online, and ask what’s going on!"

"Right! Right!"

"Hurry up!"

When a bright light sparkled in the night sky, it certainly wasn’t only noticed by a few people.

Glares Andreiev was an astronomical worker from Country E, working at an observatory at the top of a mountain.

Located in Siberia, the mountain was still very cold at night.

Glares’ habit was to drink a glass of strong liquor after dinner, then wear thick cotton clothes to sit in the office and watch the stars, though he spent most of the time facing the computer.

Today Glares had drunk a little too much, feeling dizzy in his head, and had no patience to use the telescope. He just stood in front of the glass window, looking through the glass at the beautiful starry sky, wondering whether to take a nap. Setting an alarm would suffice.

He looked up at the stars, ready to head back.

Then he stopped.

As a professional astronomical worker, Glares didn’t need to use a telescope to be certain that there was an additional star in the sky, a very bright one.

At this time of the year, Sirius had no bright stars in its vicinity.

Now there was one, even brighter than Sirius, which definitely wasn’t right.

The dizziness in Glares’ head vanished, and he quickly sat down at the telescope, peering through it at the bright spot.

"It’s a strong light! A very intense light, like a meteorite rubbing against the atmosphere."

"But, it is in space, with no severe friction, no trailing light. Could it be that a large satellite in space had exploded or caught fire intensely?"

"Could it be the International Space Station?"

Glares’ eyes widened as he immediately uploaded the new findings and continued to monitor the bright light. He soon realized his mistake, as the two space stations reported they were safe.

Quickly,

he also received feedback from his superiors, "That’s not an explosion, not a fire, but a newly launched satellite that’s just started operating."
