Among the various astronomical events with the vast universe as the background, most of the small-probability coincidences may be called "inevitable".

But actually think about it, how many of the craters on the earth were "accidentally" smashed by a stone flying from countless light-years away? Calculating the odds, it is definitely better than the one flying towards tonight.

The one at Hogwarts is much lower!

Therefore, after being stunned for a while, the four Muggles in front of Maka quickly accepted the issue of the origin of the meteorite.

However, compared to the surprise caused by the source of the meteorite, they were obviously more surprised and confused by the fact that Maka could predict the impact point of the meteorite so far in advance with extreme accuracy.

Yes, this is something that is simply impossible to do with the current level of technology.

"Perhaps... this is the mystery of magic?" The researcher named the leader silently stared at the screen and said to himself in his heart, "But, will there really be meteorites falling here at night?

?”

If a meteorite with a diameter of more than 300 feet (100 meters) falls to the ground, even if there is friction loss and buffering by the atmosphere, it will eventually cause a devastating impact on the crash site that exceeds the Tunguska explosion that year.

In other words, if a meteorite is really detected by then, it will be impossible for these four unlucky guys to escape even if they want to.

So... although they still feel uneasy in their hearts, they no longer want to think about it. They were all ordered to perform tasks here, and the dangers have been informed in advance. What else has happened now?

What's good to consider?

What's more, didn't Mr. McClain, who was leaning against the door frame in the back, reveal his hand to them? Once the detection and tracking mission is completed, they only need to be patted on the shoulder to be sent away immediately, as easily as if they were given to a friend.

Send an email!

However, having said that, it is impossible not to be nervous at this time. After Maka explained the real mission goal, there was silence in this temporary radar station, and no one spoke again.

Maka leaned against the door, looking at the Hogwarts Castle not far away, and the sun setting a little in the sky to the west. After standing still for a moment, he straightened up and spoke into the control room.

:

"I'm going to the landing point to make some preparations... If you have any questions, just call me, I can hear you."

After saying this, seeing all four people nodding their heads silently, he turned around and left the temporary radar station and walked straight to the school gate not far away.

…

How fast will the meteorite fall?

To be honest, it is not convenient to compare this kind of thing with other things. Maca can only say that it is very fast, very fast! It is so fast that after it passes through the atmosphere, it will be difficult for the human eye to react to it.

degree.

Therefore, Maca needs a pair of "eyes" to "stare" at it for itself, even if it is just for a few seconds.

"Crack."

Another stone slab engraved with magic text was placed on the ground by Maka. The distance and angle between it and the one next to it were exactly the same as the other ones, as precise as if they had gone through complicated measurements.

"Pap...pap...pap..."

Stone slabs were gradually arranged on the ground one after another, forming an exact circle around Maka. When Maka finally took a small step back, he took out the magic stick that was broken during the battle with Haierbo.

When the stick was inserted into the center of the circle, a flash of blue light flowed through all the symbols and patterns on the stone slab.

"Mr. McClain...just...there seemed to be some huge interference, and all the instruments were affected for a moment!"

Seeing a researcher hurriedly running out from the radar station and shouting loudly, Maka immediately waved her hand towards the other person and said loudly:

"It's okay! The source of interference is my magic."

Seeing the other party look at it with confusion 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 few more times. The source of a major contradiction between magic and technology is here.

Even if wizards and Muggles are willing to integrate with each other in the future as they once were, as long as this problem is not resolved, the contradiction will inevitably become an obstacle.

After thinking for a while, Maka put aside the considerations in her mind for the time being. Then, she saw him return to the radar station, leaning against the outer wall and looking at the sky again.

Unknowingly, the whole afternoon passed by in a hurry, and the sky finally got dark.

"Mr. MacLean."

Hearing the soft call from the leading researcher next to her, Maka did not turn her head to look, but just nodded slightly.

"Well, it's time to cheer up! From nightfall to early morning, meteorites may be detected at any time during this time."

"Yes, we will maintain continuous detection and monitoring of the established airspace... Sir, this is your portable display. The trajectory calculations and some key data we have made will be displayed on it simultaneously."

As the other party spoke, he handed Maka a palm-sized instrument with a display screen. After Maka reached out to take it, he looked at Maka hesitantly and said:

"Sir, can this... really be of use to you?"

Even though Maka has been taught how to read the above data, the data is still just data. The researcher is obviously still worried that Maka can really rely on the rapidly changing longitude and latitude and radar altimetry to stop the meteorite from falling at a high speed.

?

However, Maka knew very clearly that he could do it.

At present, for Maka, the only problem in dealing with the big stone is not to capture its location, but how to "softly" offset its terrifyingly strong impact. Because of a broken meteorite

, it is definitely much more difficult to handle than a complete meteorite.

And even if it didn't work, he at least had to figure out how to blast the meteorite into pieces that wouldn't cause too much damage to the area.

There is only one chance, and Maka needs to adjust her state well and face this challenge head-on with a complete attitude.

As the sun slowly sinks into the mountains to the west, the golden-red sunset gradually fades away, and the black night and silvery moonlight descend upon the earth again.

Of course, the threat tonight is certainly not just meteorites.

"Will that guy Haierbo come to cause trouble?"

Maka crossed her arms and frowned slightly. The air around her seemed to become more depressing with the arrival of darkness.

"Forget it, you have to face what you have to face sooner or later... That guy's injury should at least not fully recover yet." He whispered to himself, "... there will always be a way."
