Chapter 1 Extraterrestrial Visitors

20191021

United States, California, Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The tall and thin Li Ji was standing on the flat ground at the top of the mountain, installing his astronomical telescope. The wind in the Sierra Nevada was very strong. If the telescope was not fixed in advance, it would be time to go down the mountain to look for the remains of the telescope in the evening. Li Ji struggled to tighten the fixing screws. Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.

"Li Ji, where are you now?" There was a loud voice on the other end of the phone. Through the phone, Li Ji could still feel his heroic masculine aura.

"Xiong Chi, why are you calling me so late? It should be already four o'clock in the evening in China, right?" Li Ji held the phone between his head and shoulders and continued to tighten the screws.

"Have you forgotten the Orionid meteor shower? I'm in for a treat tonight, with more than thirty meteors per hour! I made a wish for everyone in the family and there's still more left!" Xiong Chi's voice was really loud, Even on the phone, Li Ji felt a little enlightened.

"How could I forget? I am in the Sierra Nevada Mountains now. This is the western United States. The clouds are thin. It can be said to be the best place to observe meteor showers! Let me listen to the beautiful brushed melody of installing the fixing screws." Li Ji said The phone came close to the screw and he twisted it hard. Although the "hissing" sound was not loud, it also made Xiong Chi feel the noise pollution.

"I've been in the United States for a few years. I haven't learned anything else well, but I've learned a lot about American humor." Xiong Chi said angrily, "But I envy you, Sierra Nevada. I'm on the roof of the community. The meteor shower I watched, the observation conditions are really different from heaven to earth. By the way, I only remembered after watching the meteor shower that I forgot to make a wish for a girlfriend for myself, please remember to make a wish for me!"

"Get lost! The meteor shower will scare you away later. You should just wait for the artificial intelligence to mature and buy a smart girlfriend." After Li Ji finished speaking, he hung up the phone, not giving Xiong Chi a chance to refute.

"Damn, it's twisted! It's all because of Xiong Chi's stupidity, half an hour's work was wasted!" Li Ji squatted aside in despair, with an ugly expression on his face.

In the evening, the sky is getting dark.

"The light trail has appeared, so early!" Li Ji was sitting on the ground eating a not-so-delicious chicken sandwich when he suddenly saw traces of meteors in the sky. His thin body burst out with powerful force, and he jumped up.

"How beautiful, these spirits of the night sky."

Meteor showers are not like what most animations or TV series depict, one by one, continuous. Even for the Leonid meteor shower, which is known as the king of meteor showers, this kind of scene is rare in a century. Generally speaking, if one meteor appears every hour, it is called a meteor shower, but there is a difference between light rain and heavy rain.

"After seeing so many meteor showers, I still think the Orionid meteor shower is more beautiful. Although the flow is not large, each one is so beautiful. Maybe it has something to do with the mystery of Halley's Comet."

The Orionid meteor shower is a strange flower among the major meteor showers. Since Halley's Comet rotates in the opposite direction to the Earth, the Orionid meteor shower caused by Halley's Comet has a greater flow rate in the first half of the night than in the second half of the night. Ordinary astronomy enthusiasts can watch the meteor shower After that, you can go to bed on time, but for an enthusiast like Li Ji, you don't have to sleep, but you have to watch the meteor shower.

"It's so beautiful, this comet dust. Although in the universe, comets and meteors are similar to space junk, they still exude unparalleled beauty. I really don't know how many mysteries and unknowns there are in this starry sky."

Li Ji sighed while observing the meteor shower that was gradually increasing in flow.

……

"37, 38, 39..." Li Ji held a counter in his hand.

"It's a pity that it didn't reach . Ten to eleven o'clock should be the hour with the highest flow rate of the Orionid meteor shower. It's a pity that it didn't break ."

Li Ji shook his head and turned on his phone. The counter and the mobile phone are connected via Bluetooth, and the data and time counted each time will be transferred to the mobile phone.

"Hey, no, there are sixteen meteors between nine forty and ten o'clock. If you count down to ten forty, there are fifty-one in total! The flow rate per hour has exceeded fifty, which can be considered as extreme There’s a big meteor shower! Oh my God!”,

As an astronomy enthusiast, being able to see a huge meteor shower can be regarded as a dream come true.

"Hey, I'm satisfied. The only drawback is that I didn't see the bolide, but I have to be content! I can't see the bolide. That's my destiny. It's something that has been decided long ago. But if there is a chance, I would like to Trade Xiong Chi's lifelong happiness for me to see a bolide once..."

The move Li Ji is currently using is called "Poisonous Milk**". "Poisonous Milk**" is very popular in major gaming communities. Legend has it that it is very effective, but it requires a sacrifice of something.

"Damn, it's so effective!" Before Li Ji's "Poisonous Milk**" was used up, a bright bolide appeared in the sky.

"So bright! This is probably the brightest bolide in recent years! It's almost as bright as the moon! It must be as bright as a minus-eighth magnitude star! Oh my god! Such a bright bolide, make a wish It must be very effective!" Li Ji sighed, but soon he realized something was wrong.

"Why is it getting brighter and brighter! Is it a meteorite? It seems to have gotten a little bigger! Could it be that this meteor will fall to the ground!" Li Ji adjusted the angle of the telescope to track this unusual meteor.

……

"Warning, warning, fuel depleted, fuel depleted, auto-enter emergency landing mode, auto-enter emergency landing mode."

……

"Oh my god, it's getting bigger! There won't be a comet hitting the earth! Do I have to call 911?" Li Ji suddenly became uneasy. As an astronomy enthusiast, he didn't know the craters on the moon. Although he couldn't estimate the size of this bolide, based on visual inspection, it would definitely not be too small. If it fell on the earth, it would definitely be a disaster.

"But there's no telling. If it hadn't fallen, I would have definitely been treated as a terrorist spreading rumors. If I went to jail, I wouldn't be able to graduate."

……

"The emergency landing mode failed to turn on. The emergency landing mode failed to turn on. The energy has been exhausted. The energy has been exhausted. The system is about to enter sleep. The system is about to enter sleep. 3, 2, 1..."

……

Just when Li Ji was in a dilemma, the falling speed of the bolide suddenly accelerated several times. Li Ji felt as if he was in daytime. When he reacted, it was too late to escape. He stood blankly on the Sierra Nevada Mountains. , watching a regular ball fall from the sky. Inside the ball is a baby with black hair and yellow skin. The only difference from Li Ji is that he has an extra tail.
