Chapter 743 Bad Omen

"You said before that this was not the first time this happened? Are there already so many asteroid attacks now?"

"I remember that when we were selecting the sites for the lunar base and the lunar city, we deliberately chose a location with relatively suitable conditions. It stands to reason that at this location, the number of attacks by asteroids with a diameter of less than one meter would not exceed three times per year. An asteroid with a diameter of five meters only strikes once every two years on average. Why do you think attacks seem to be so common now?"

After the matter was resolved and the turrets of the automatic defense system were withdrawn, Dong Chen asked his question.

"That's right, Chairman, their calculation results were fine at the beginning, and it's fine now that the number of attacks has increased. However, there is a change curve here, and we are also studying it during this time."

Liang Guoyu naturally knew everything about Dong Chen's problems. After all, he, Liang Guoyu, had the obligation to explain clearly to Dong Chen when encountering such a thing.

Especially when Dong Chen still knew the "cause", if he couldn't explain the "consequence" clearly, it would be his dereliction of duty.

There are many consequences for this dereliction of duty, but he didn't want to try any of them, so while talking, he found a data analysis and comparison chart for Dong Chen that he often saw during this period.

He pointed to the surging graph above and said, "It was during this period that the number of attacks on us began to increase."

"It turns out that it is exactly as calculated by the space center. We only suffered one attack in the early stage. It was an asteroid fragment with a diameter of only eight centimeters. It was also directly vaporized by the laser attack system."

"But starting from last month, the situation began to be different. In that month alone, we were hit by three asteroids in succession, all of which were small fragments, none with a diameter of more than ten centimeters."

"This month, plus today, we have been hit three times, but today is only the middle of the month, and the month has only passed halfway. We suspect there will be more attacks in the future."

"In other words, this situation suddenly appeared recently?" Dong Chen asked with a frown as he looked at the surging curve.

"Yes, Chairman," Liang Guoyu nodded and said, "It is not impossible for a concentrated outbreak to occur, but according to our calculations, even if it occurs, it is impossible for a year's volume to be destroyed in one month. There may be more impacts after the outbreak ends, or even in the next month."

The more he listened to Liang Guoyu's explanation, the deeper Dong Chen's brows furrowed, because the more he listened, the more he felt that this matter was not very simple.

Such a situation is not impossible. After all, the world is so big that many things cannot be solved by calculation alone, but it is only a very, very small possibility.

But now... it may be a precursor to the appearance of another ruthless character on his list, a ruthless character who led to the demise of the era of dinosaur dominance.

"I remember I have a list of major disasters. A level like yours should be accessible, right?" Dong Chen touched his chin and said.

"Are you talking about...the list of "earth's devastating disasters"?" Liang Guoyu thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, this asteroid disaster is also on the list. Why didn't you report this to your superiors when such a situation occurred?" Dong Chen asked.

"This, because the harm of this kind of disaster has not yet reached the reporting standard. After all, their size and frequency are not large. We can easily solve it. A ten-centimeter-sized asteroid like today will hit our base. It is considered the largest among all asteroids." Liang Guoyu explained.

"Even if we haven't ruled out the possibility of coincidence, it's because it doesn't do any harm to us now. It's just a waste of energy every time."

That's true.

After Liang Guoyu explained this, Dong Chen also realized this problem.

A ten centimeter asteroid like today is just a small rock to put it bluntly. If it were to hit the Earth, it might be burned as soon as it entered the atmosphere, and it would not even be qualified to fall to the ground and become a meteorite.

If they come towards the moon and there are no unexpected obstacles, they can enjoy the addiction of turning asteroids into meteorites.

An impact like this poses no threat to the earth, nor does it pose a threat to any space facilities under the Arc Light Group. As Liang Guoyu, the director of the lunar base, said, it only consumes a little energy.

After understanding this, Dong Chen no longer paid attention to this matter. Since the early warning mechanism had been set up before, he would just wait for this alarm.

This situation is different from other things, and there is no use knowing it in advance.

Just like the current situation, they are just small rocks, not threatening at all.

If there is no threat, then what to deal with.

"That's it. You should pay more attention to this aspect. You have also read the list and the original intention of its establishment. If something happens, it will definitely be a very serious matter."

"Just like this "bloody" virus incident, you know how huge its impact is, and nothing on the list is less harmful than it."

"So you should pay more attention. If you find something strange, or if you guess any major event will happen, even if it does not reach the warning level, you can report it to me."

Dong Chen said seriously.

Seeing Dong Chen's serious expression, Liang Guoyu, who was operating the computer there, did not dare to neglect. He immediately stood up straight and assured Dong Chen: "Okay, Chairman, I understand."

"Well," Dong Chen nodded after hearing this, stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first. You can continue to carry out other things as originally planned and work hard."

"I understand, Chairman, I'll see you off." Liang Guoyu quickly came over to lead the way.

After waiting at the garage window and watching Dong Chen leave the base in a car, and then looking at the Moon City that was expanding every moment, Liang Guoyu took a deep breath. He felt that he would be busy with things in the future. I'm afraid there are more.

But then, his body straightened up again, because this was the future he wanted, and that was to do a big career.

This situation now was something he had never thought of before.

His original life plan was to become a senior manager in one of the world's top 500 companies before the age of 40. It was not even certain whether he would be able to become a senior manager in the world, because this might not be possible based on strength alone. A little...luck.

It's just that he didn't expect that his poor luck in the early stage was actually paving the way for his overwhelming luck in the future, which led him to meet God.

First, he joined the Arc Light Group, which was beyond his expectation. After arriving here, he received the attention and training from the president of the group, which was even more beyond his expectation.

Immediately afterwards, Arclight Group separated from the ranking of the world's top 500 companies, because if it were calculated this way, it would be bullying.

The rapid development of the Arc Light Group was beyond his expectations, and before his surprise was over, he actually came to the moon and became the supervisor of mankind's first lunar base.

Judging from the importance the Arc Light Group attaches to this place, it is a sure thing that he will join the top management of the Arc Light Group.

This time cannot be destroyed by an asteroid attack, so he will definitely pay more attention to such things in the future.

PS: I took the time to code and upload at the company. I have to work overtime today, so I can only do this chapter. Sorry...
