Chapter 280: Promise Palace (1)
The Chinese Imperial Observatory, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Observatory, the American Federal Institute of Space Research, the Damao National Astronomical Center, and countless other countries on the planet have their deep space survey equipment focused on the same point almost at this moment.
There is no other reason. There is a phenomenon that people on earth cannot understand at all.
"Who can tell me why this thing suddenly appeared!? There was no sign at all before!?"
A researcher faced the director who was almost going crazy and swallowed:
"Master, director, this thing just appeared suddenly. And I guess now not only we have discovered it, but other agencies should also know about it."
As if to verify this sentence, a young man hurried in:
"Director, the director of the Observatory of the Academy of Sciences is having a meeting with our director and wants you to go to the conference room quickly!"
"Now?"
"That's right, you don't need to take anything, just now."
Director Zhang took another look at the analysis report, took a deep breath, and immediately walked to the conference room.
There were only three people in the conference room at this time, the station director, the deputy director, and another director in charge of the deep space survey project.
Those on the big screen are colleagues from the Observatory of the Academy of Sciences.
"Old Zhang, sit down."
"Hey, okay, okay."
I saw the director put a picture on the projector:
"Everyone, this photo is the latest image of the Kuiper Belt taken four hours ago by the Clairvoyance-1 astronomical telescope launched last year. (The Kuiper Belt is about 4 light-hours away from the Earth, which means that light takes 4 hours to travel.
To give an analogy: For example, the sun we see is actually the sun 8 minutes ago, the moon is the moon one second ago, and this photo is what it looked like 4 hours ago.)
Let me get straight to the point: This thing is a planet that is half the size of Jupiter, but has a much greater mass.
And it's heading towards Earth now."
After saying this, the scene was silent, and no one made any sound.
After a long time, Director Zhang said:
"Director, did this thing really appear suddenly?"
"That's right, very suddenly, there were no large celestial bodies in this interstellar space before.
And judging from the blue shift, the speed of this thing is extremely amazing."
After saying this, there was silence again.
The blue shift indicates that it is approaching the Earth. Its volume is half that of Jupiter but its mass is much larger, indicating that it is a rocky planet. If it is really coming towards the Earth, even if it does not hit it directly, the huge gravity will change the orbit of the Earth.
, human beings will still become extinct, and even life will cease to exist.
"Director, are there any existing theories that can explain the appearance of this planet?"
"Humanity's current theories cannot explain it."
The answer is simple and clear, but it reveals helplessness.
"What we need to do now is to sort out the information and hand it over to the superiors. It depends on the leaders how to do it."
Director Zhang hesitated for a moment, but still asked:
"How long does it take to get here?"
"It is still outside the Kuiper Belt. It will enter the inner solar system in up to a month. At that time, it will begin to affect the orbits of the outer planets. And the closer it is to the sun, the greater the gravitational effect it will receive, and the speed will also increase.
So, my friends, maybe this really is the end."
The perspective switches to this planet. Although there is no star to provide energy, the entire planet is full of life.
Countless peaks higher than Mount Everest, canyons longer than the East African Rift Valley, and oceans larger than dozens of Earth's surfaces are scattered across the planet.
From the North Pole to the South Pole, it is also divided into cold zones, temperate zones, and tropical zones. However, these are not the result of nature, but are the result of the coordination of countless huge formations that exist on this planet.
On the highest peak of the planet, there is a magnificent palace complex, covering an area as large as two southeastern provinces.
I saw a cultivator wearing armor and holding a giant ax walking out of a room. He stretched and yawned. A colorful bird landed on the giant tree next to him and also yawned.
yawn:
"Zi Long, do you think this is too ostentatious? The emperor doesn't like such a pomp."
The palm-sized bird preened its feathers and then said:
"Lao Dian, you don't understand now, do you?
Think about it, why did the master build such a magnificent palace complex? Why did he choose this planet as the dojo of our Wuji Palace? Haven't you thought about it deeply?"
The warden put down his ax and sat directly on the ground:
"What you are saying is wrong. The reason why the emperor chose this planet is not because Suiyang Palace built this palace complex and then took a fancy to it. When did we build it ourselves?
Look at the blood on the wall facing the door. It was the blood that Patriarch Suiyang sprayed out without a breath. It has not faded even after thousands of years."
Zi Long rolled his eyes at the warden:
"Lao Dian, why can't you turn your head? Master, why did he choose this palace? Isn't it just because it's beautiful, spectacular, and suitable for showing off!
Hehe, let me tell you, the old master, according to that silly dog, is bored!"
"What? It's impossible for Gouzi to say this, right?"
Zi Long's eyes were erratic. Since Bai Lang was not here, there was no cost in spreading rumors:
"Yes, that's what this silly dog said."
However, the warden obviously didn't believe it. Gouzi's loyalty was comparable to that of a dog. Moreover, Zilong and Gouzi's battle for favor had gone through countless tricks over the thousands of years. Maybe this bird would be the same again.
Hu Lielie, Laodian, I won’t be involved in this matter. Wouldn’t it be nice to meditate, rest, and regain your strength?
Watching the warden enter a state of cultivation, Zi Long was also using the energy of this planet to recover from the injuries he sustained in the void.
That's right, this planet was originally put away entirely by the warden, because he was afraid that the planet would be eroded by the void storm. After the position was almost established, one person and one bird broke out of the void, but their luck was not as good as that of White Wolf and the others.
Falling outside the Kuiper Belt.
But the vacuum environment of the universe was extremely comfortable compared to the void, so the warden took the entire planet out of space, and according to Zi Long's pretentious statement, swaggered towards the earth.
In the Kyoto shopping street, Liu Bufan and others were enjoying a pleasant afternoon tea, and then the video phone rang.
I saw it was my great-grandfather calling, so I straightened my bangs to make them less curled before clicking to answer the call.
Then the loud voice of Mrs. Liu came:
"Hey, who was I then? Isn't this our great-great-grandson!"
The corners of Liu Bufan's mouth twitched, aren't you the one who keeps calling me? How come it's like I haven't contacted you for hundreds of years?
I saw the old man slowly making tea, and Liu Yiqiu and Situ Yang were sitting next to him. It was obvious that these three men were having a good time recently.
"Xiao Fan, I'm sorry for teasing you. Grandpa has something important to ask for your help this time."
But even though it was an important matter, there was no sign of it being important from his tone.
"If you have any questions, just tell me. You just want the stars in the sky to be your cousin's dowry. I'll give you two of them."
The old man has no doubts about this statement:
"Oh, don't tell me, this matter really has something to do with the stars!"
I saw him taking out the same photo from the observatory and asking:
"You know what this thing is, right?"
As soon as he saw this photo, Liu Bufan instantly understood what the old man meant:
Chapter completed!
