"Three months have passed since the Norfolk meteorite collision! As of today, the Norfolk military base is still in ruins! Millions of American citizens have not been able to return to their homes! They can only live in prefabricated houses.

Life in China! And the US government has not yet produced an investigation report on this incident! Who is responsible for this unfortunate disaster? Is this an unexpected natural disaster?

Is it other reasons? Today we invited Dr. David Robinez, who once worked in the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking Program, to help us find the answer!" National Broadcasting Corporation (nbc)

) Chuck Todd, the host of the ace current affairs program "Meet-the-Press", appeared on this Sunday's program as usual.

"Dr. Robinaiz, as far as I know, one of the important tasks of the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Search Program is the search for near-Earth asteroids, right?" Chuck Todd greeted Robinaiz.

Then get to the point directly.

"Yes! This is one of the reasons why the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Search Program was established! And we are not the only research institution responsible for such a task!" Robinez began to introduce other institutions, "In NASA

In the history of science and technology, there have been a total of six similar institutions. In addition to us, there are also the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking Program (NEAT), Lovell Astronomy

Taiwan's Near-Earth Object Search Program (loneos), Space Monitoring Program (spaeath), Catalina Sky-Survey System (catalina-sky-survey), Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System Telescope (pan-star)! Among them, Catalina Sky-Survey

The system was the first to discover this meteorite impact!"

As Robinez introduced, overviews of these institutions continued to appear on the TV screen. Chuck Todd nodded from time to time, and after Robinez finished speaking, he asked, "Mr. Doctor, what are you talking about?"

It sounds really amazing! But can you tell us why, with as many as six asteroid monitoring agencies, we still haven't been able to discover this asteroid that destroyed Norfolk and brought huge disasters to the United States?"

"First of all, it's not that we didn't discover that Catlin's sky survey system bought us three minutes of precious warning time! This saved the world from destruction! You must know that there were a large number of nuclear submarines parked in Norfolk at that time!" Robinney

I first corrected his mistake and then explained, "And compared to

In the vast universe, our investment is not as big as you think! The Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Search Project where I worked only has a pair of geodss telescopes; the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking Project also uses this tool, because

Due to many factors, it can only work eighteen days a month."

"Although the Lovell Observatory Near-Earth Object Search Program can conduct all-sky searches, their field of view is ultimately limited! The Space Monitoring Program was established in 1980, and many of the equipment are now outdated and unusable; the Catlina Sky Survey System is the largest

, but it only has three telescopes! The panoramic survey telescope and the rapid response system telescope are the most advanced, but it cannot monitor any starry sky at any time! You must know that the earth is round!"

"If we want to establish a complete asteroid monitoring system on Earth, the current equipment alone is far from enough! Although they cover a large part of the starry sky, there are still some omissions! And our previous monitoring focused on areas above one kilometer.

Near-Earth asteroids, these are the most threatening celestial bodies to human beings! And the meteorites that hit Norfolk this time are far smaller than this number!"

Robinez looked regretful, "In the past few decades, we have regarded human beings as our biggest threat. Preventing asteroid impacts is just a theoretical study! Meteorites fall on the earth almost every day, but they

Most of them were burned up when they entered the atmosphere! The very few that landed on the earth did not pose much of a threat! This makes us all forget that it was only more than a hundred years ago after the Tunguska explosion!"

On June 30, 1908, an asteroid collided near the Tunguska River in the Lussia Krasnoyarsk Territory and triggered a large explosion. The explosion flattened the Siberian forest covering an area of ​​approximately 2,000 square kilometers.

At that time, some scientists analyzed that the impact was equivalent to a thousand times the force of Hiroshima.

"Mr. Doctor!" Chuck Todd had to interrupt his long speech. The audience was obviously not more concerned about these issues. "What we want to know is whether there will be a similar disaster in the near future! And this disaster

Is it really a natural disaster?”

"From a probability perspective, the possibility of two consecutive large meteorite impacts in a short period of time is not high! Disasters of this scale are rare in the history of human civilization! Except for the Tunguska explosion and this time Norfolk

There are not many cases outside of the big collision!" Robinnaiz hesitated for a while, but decided to appease the audience, "So I think it is unlikely to happen again in a short time!"

"As for your second question! I think that with the current level of human technology, there is absolutely no way to control meteorite impacts! And even if someone mastered this technology, why did he give up after attacking only once? You must know that we are currently

There is absolutely no way to defend against this kind of attack!"

"What about the aliens?"

"NASA has not yet obtained evidence of the existence of aliens! We can't think of a reason for aliens to attack the earth!" Robinez sneered at Todd's whims.

Trump turned off the TV, and his staff also agreed with Robinaiz's opinion, "Mr. President, NASA's findings are completely consistent with Robinaiz's! We can't find any evidence of man-made disasters!"

This incident should be a natural disaster!"

"Then, let's officially announce the results of the investigation!" Trump said and crossed himself on his chest. God, what have we done to make you angry and impose such a punishment?

The White House held a press conference the next day and announced the results of its investigation. This conclusion was no different from Robinaiz's judgment on the TV program yesterday; natural disasters and the like would not happen in a short period of time.

The second conclusion has made people all over the world feel a little more at ease.

However, there are still fans of "Star Troopers" who continue to claim that this is the beginning of the Zerg attack and that we must unite to defend the earth; but their numbers are too small to make any waves! However, some doomsday sects took the opportunity to defraud and make money.

Severe crackdown by relevant US departments!
Chapter completed!
