Chapter 16

【We actually witnessed both a meteor shower and a meteorite tonight!】

【A meteor shower paired with a meteorite—never seen before!】

【Is this a big easter egg the streamer left for us specifically in this meteor shower?!】

【Wah-ha-ha! Having seen this scene, I'll have something to brag about for the rest of my life!】

【Wow, that's awesome...】

【I was saying why the streamer stood by the RV for so long without moving; turns out he was waiting for this moment to appear!】

【This streamer... is too amazing, right? How did he predict it?】

【The National Astronomy Institute is crying and fainting in the toilet... a streamer predicted everything, while they knew nothing!】

The audience's emotions were completely ignited, and the entire live-stream screen was once again shrouded in all kinds of bullet comments.

Just at this moment.

Keen-eyed viewers suddenly noticed an account secretly entering.

It was the official account of the "National Astronomy Institute"!

【Wow! Look at the viewer leaderboard! The Astronomy Institute's official account has arrived!】

【Haha! Did they come to seek scriptures?】

【Unexpected! The Astronomy Institute actually came to a live stream to watch a celestial phenomenon; I'm dying of laughter!】

【Celestial phenomenon? This is a celestial miracle, okay?】

【Yes, I just checked; a meteor shower and a meteorite appearing simultaneously has never happened before!】

At this time.

The official account of the "National Astronomy Institute" also sent a bullet comment:

【Hello everyone, this is the official account of the Astronomy Institute. We indeed came to broaden our horizons; please forgive our ignorance (cute face emoji) (embarrassed face emoji)】

Once upon a time, officials from relevant departments were usually sitting upright with serious, rigid expressions.

But now, seeing this official account actually come with a half-cute, half-self-deprecating tone.

Instantly, it made everyone laugh.

【Haha, it's fine, same here; we are all here to broaden our horizons】

【It's fine; learning makes one progress. Tonight, we were all led by streamer Brother Shiguang to learn a bit~】

【@NationalAstronomyInstitute Can you explain this phenomenon?】

National Astronomy Institute: 【Dear netizens, this huge meteorite everyone sees right now should strictly speaking not be called a meteorite; it has a scientific name: 'Fire Qilin'】

【Fire Qilin?】

【Wow! Sounds like a very high-class name】

【Fire Qilin, Fire Qilin, Flame Blade! Anything with the character 'fire' is extraordinary!】

【As the Fire Qilin streaks by, if I make a wish, will it definitely come true?】

National Astronomy Institute: 【Indeed, the Fire Qilin is not an ordinary celestial phenomenon; accurately speaking, it belongs to a type of accidental celestial phenomenon. Since it is accidental, it is naturally extremely rare, with almost no pattern to follow】

【No pattern?】 Seeing this explanation, netizens were not convinced.

【If there's no pattern, how could streamer Brother Shiguang predict it?】

【@NationalAstronomyInstitute You still don't want to admit that our streamer is stronger than you, right?】

【Yes, if there's no pattern, how did our streamer predict it?】

【@NationalAstronomyInstitute You wouldn't say again that our streamer predicted it, and that this is also accidental, would you?】

For a moment, half of the bullet comments carried a sarcastic tone.

Seeing the atmosphere in these bullet comments.

At this moment, the experts at the Capital National Astronomy Institute were also somewhat at a loss between laughter and tears.

To be honest, seeing this scene.

Indeed, it was an unparalleled shock.

The Fire Qilin is indeed an accidental celestial phenomenon.

Recorded in astronomical history, the last appearance of a Fire Qilin.

dates back several decades.

And it was not over the sky of the Eastern Kingdom.

But on the other half of the Earth.

At that time, the Eastern Kingdom's astronomical experts could only gain a preliminary understanding of it through a blurry image circulated abroad.

Naturally, research was out of the question.

And now!

This accidental miracle was actually captured by a streamer from the Eastern Kingdom using a high-resolution camera.

Live-streamed on the spot!

This!

Is absolutely precious data!

This streamer's camera has such high resolution that one can even see the fragment impurities falling from the tail of this Fire Qilin streaking through the night sky in the footage!

This footage, without a doubt, for a very long time in the future.

Will become the sole material for the entire human astronomy community to study this wonder, the Fire Qilin!

However, this value.

Cannot be conveyed to netizens at this moment.

Only the astronomy community can realize the preciousness of this moment!

And just at that moment.

The appearance of a single comment completely sent the rhythm of the entire live stream soaring.

A netizen named "Celestial Expert P" suddenly posted a comment:

【@National Astronomical Observatory, I have researched the history of fireballs; it seems the astronomy community in the 1960s also fervently debated the existence of fireballs. Historical records state that after a fireball appears, a planetary conjunction occurs. Is this true? Additionally, will a fireball's fall cause harm to Earth?】

This netizen directly posed the question to the Observatory.

Immediately following that, this guy actually pasted an excerpt from historical records:

【@National Astronomical Observatory, this is an original excerpt from the "Book of Jin · Treatise on Astronomy". I am pasting it here for you to see: 'The sky is pure and the Star of Virtue appears. The Star of Virtue is the Star of Virtue; its form is irregular, appearing in a country without the Way. The ancients of humble quality could not calculate the five planets; two years later, an anomaly of eight stars occurred, eight stars aligned across Donghua Tianyu, and great disaster struck the world.'】

After this original text was pasted into the comments.

Instantly, everyone who saw it felt a chill run down their spines!

Could it be that the fireball captured by the streamer named Brother Shiguang tonight...

... actually foreshadows a future celestial spectacle of eight stars in conjunction?

And according to historical records, eight stars in conjunction is an extremely ominous sign; could it be that a great disaster is about to descend?!

14. Eight Stars in Conjunction Approaching? No! It is the Nine Stars from Nine Hundred Years Ago!

(Dear Masters, I will tell you a secret: those who cast evaluation votes, men are the most handsome, women are the most beautiful. I am only telling you this secret in secret...)

In the midst of a meteor shower.

An accidental spectacle of a fireball actually appeared.

Could it truly foreshadow.

The image of eight stars in conjunction descending?

And according to ancient books, eight stars in conjunction is an extremely ominous sign.

Could it be that a great disaster will truly descend?

This thought made everyone's spines feel somewhat cold.

Although, in modern society, technology is so advanced, many things recorded in classics, before being scientifically verified, can indeed be regarded as feudal superstition or nonsense.

At most, they can be viewed as a mere coincidence.

But for some reason.

Perhaps, because it was already late at night.

The sudden appearance of this news still made a cold wind of dread blow through people's hearts.

And this question.

also stumped the experts at the National Astronomical Observatory who were closely monitoring this live stream.

They had not expected.
