In all kinds of astronomical events against the background of the vast universe, the vast majority of small probability coincidences may be called "necessity".
But in fact, it's also right to think about it - how many of those craters on the earth were "accidentally" hit by a stone flying from countless light-years away? Calculate that chance, it's definitely much lower than the one flying to Hogwarts tonight!
Therefore, after some stupidity, the four Muggles in front of Maka actually quickly accepted the source of the meteorite.
However, compared with the surprise caused to them by the source of meteorites, they were obviously surprised and confused that Maka could predict the falling point of meteorites with extreme accuracy so much time in advance.
Yes, this is something that cannot be done at the current level of science and technology.
"Maybe... This is the mystery of magic?" the leading researcher silently stared at the screen and whispered to himself, "but will meteorites really fall here at night?"
The meteorite with a diameter of more than 300 feet (100 meters) falls to the ground. Even if there is atmospheric friction loss and buffer, it will eventually cause a devastating impact on the falling site beyond the Tunguska explosion that year.
In other words, if the meteorite is detected at that time, the four unlucky people can't run away if they want to run.
So... Although they are still uneasy, they don't want to think about it anymore. They are all ordered to perform tasks here, and the danger has long been informed in advance. What else to consider now?
What's more, didn't Mr. McLean, who leaned on the door frame in the back, show them his hand? Once the detection and tracking task is completed, they only need to be patted on the shoulder and can be sent away immediately. It's as easy as sending an email to a friend!
However, having said that, it is impossible to be nervous at this time. Since Maka explained the real mission goal, the temporarily built radar station was silent, and no one spoke again.
Maka leaned against the door and looked at Hogwarts Castle not far away and the sun setting to the West in mid air. After standing still for a while, he straightened up and said to the control room:
"I'll go to the landing site and make some preparations... If there's any problem, just call me. I can hear you."
After saying this, seeing that all four people nodded silently, he turned and left the temporary radar station and went straight to the school gate not far away.
……
How fast will meteorites fall?
To be honest, this kind of thing is not very convenient to compare with other things. Maka can only say - soon, very soon! Soon after it passes through the atmosphere, it will be difficult for human eyes to respond to it.
Therefore, Maka needs a pair of "eyes" to "stare" at it for herself, even if it is only a few seconds.
"Patter."
Another carved stone plate as like as two peas, was placed on the ground by Maca, and the distance and angle between the other side and the other side were exactly the same as the others, which was as accurate as a complex measurement.
"PATA... PATA... PATA..."
One stone slab after another is gradually arranged on the ground, forming a circle around Maka. When Maka finally took a small step back and took out the staff broken in the battle with halbo and inserted it into the center of the circle, all the symbols and lines on the stone plate flowed with a touch of blue light.
"Mr. McLean... Just now... There seems to be some huge interference. All instruments have been affected for a moment!"
Seeing a researcher running out of the radar station and shouting here, Maka immediately waved her hand to the other party and shouted:
"It's okay! The interference source is my magic."
Looking at each other, she looked at each other suspiciously for a while before returning to the radar station. Maka couldn't help but subconsciously look at the magic text array on the ground - a major contradiction between magic and technology lies here. Even if wizards and Muggles in the future are willing to integrate with each other as before, as long as this problem is not solved, The contradiction will inevitably become an obstacle.
After thinking for a while, Maka put aside her thoughts for the time being. Then he returned to the radar station and looked at the sky against the outer wall again.
Unknowingly, a whole afternoon hurried by, and the sky was finally getting dark.
"Mr. McLean."
Hearing the call of the first researcher, Maka didn't turn her head to look, but nodded slightly.
"Well, it's time to cheer up! Meteorites may be detected at any time from late at night to early in the morning."
"Yes, we will keep continuous detection and monitoring of the established airspace... Sir, this is your portable display. At that time, the trajectory calculation and some key data we have done will be displayed on it synchronously."
As the other party said, he handed Maka a palm sized instrument with a display screen. After Maka reached out and took it, he looked at Maka with some hesitation and said:
"Sir, can this... Really come in handy for you?"
Even if Marca has been taught how to look at the above data, the data is always just data. The researcher is obviously still worried. Can Maka really rely on the rapidly changing longitude and latitude and radar altimetry to stop the falling meteorites?
However, Maka knew very well that he could do it.
At present, for Maka, the only problem to deal with the big stone is not to capture its location, but how to "gently" offset its terrible impact. Because a broken meteorite is definitely much more difficult to deal with than a complete meteorite.
And even if it doesn't work, he must at least figure out how to blow the meteorite into fragments that are not enough to cause too much damage to the area.
There is only one chance. Maka needs to adjust her state and meet this challenge with a perfect attitude.
As the sun slowly sank into the mountains in the west, the golden red sunset also gradually faded, and the black night and silver moonlight came to the earth again.
Of course, the threat tonight must be more than meteorites.
"Will that guy Haier Bo make trouble?"
Maka held her arms and frowned slightly. The surrounding air seemed to be more and more depressed with the arrival of the night.
"Forget it, what we should face sooner or later... The guy's injury should at least not have fully recovered." he whispered, "... There will always be a way."
