92: Chapter 92 The Second Wave of Meteorites, Reactions from All Sides
"According to the news transmitted from the National Astronomical Observatory, one million meteorites have appeared in the atmosphere outside Blue Star and are about to fall. Please, citizens across the country, return to your homes to take shelter from the meteorites. Those still outdoors, please find nearby buildings to take shelter in."
"According to the AI simulation calculations of the national supercomputer, the landing sites for this wave of meteorites cover the entire globe. Overseas citizens on other continents should find buildings to take shelter in as soon as possible."
Wang An watched this emergency report, feeling somewhat relieved that the construction of the Mine Pit Hotel was complete and could initially reach a state of self-sufficiency.
"It seems I need to bring my parents and family over to stay tomorrow; I've been out for so long and have only been home a few times."
Although he had been in frequent contact with his parents over the past few months by phone.
He had only returned home a few times, giving them some talismans he had drawn to calm the spirit and strengthen the body, gradually nourishing the bodies they had worn out from years of hard labor.
Time passed bit by bit, and meteors trailing long tails began to appear in the sky, falling in all directions.
According to the official count of one million, the addition of so many meteorites might further stimulate and accelerate the expansion and strengthening of the Heaven and Earth Qi fields in the major Forbidden Zones.
Those special areas, or regions where job-change stones are excessively concentrated, gathering more and more Heaven and Earth Qi, might create some high-energy field environments.
Of course, these cannot be compared to the pure, high-density energy environment specifically constructed with Qingyang Qi.
However, the rate at which Mutant creatures and enhanced organisms in those places reproduce and grow stronger might become faster and faster.
Increasingly strengthened Forbidden Zones and strong magnetic interference environments will also appear more frequently, just like the area in Jiuzhaigou that can interfere with the biological magnetic field's sense of direction.
In such places, combined with Mutant creatures familiar with the forest, it will be very difficult for ordinary humans to enter these areas, except for Professional squads.
As the time predicted by the officials drew closer.
Wang An stood on the top of Liuxing Mountain, which had been transformed into a dedicated stargazing spot.
Using the optical telescope installed here, he could vaguely see the spots of starlight beginning to appear and increase in the sky.
Just like countless fireflies filling a forest in summer, these meteorites were the same, hanging across the entire night sky.
They were not flickering, but emitting light and heat.
Growing larger as they rushed toward the ground, they began to show long trails, falling down upon the entire land.
The National Crisis Response Group.
At this moment, the members of the group were striving to make the most practical deployments based on the data fed back from astronomy, satellites, supercomputers, and other sources across the country.
The National Special Talisman Research Center.
The five people who had previously received guidance from Wang An were also paying attention to the arrival of these job-change stones.
Daoist Lu Xinyu, with her cold expression, stood on the rooftop, quietly watching the magnificent scene of fire meteors filling the sky.
Recalling that she had already comprehended 60% of the principles of the [Taiyin Spirit-Nurturing Talisman] and her own talent, the people at the research center felt their path forward became clearer regarding the speculations about the extraordinary from Daoist Anran.
[Seeking the Dao] Function: A strong pursuit of a target object, and the world will respond.
The members of the Exploration Team were still on their way back.
Because of this meteor shower, they had no choice but to find a place to take shelter.
Looking at the scene of meteors and fire in the sky, some of the team members felt an inexplicable shock and excitement.
Mo Yuemei, however, had a grave expression, while simultaneously feeling a sense of anticipation.
More job-change stones meant more danger, but for a Professional like her, it was also an Opportunity.
The Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain.
High-ranking Mage Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing, Abbot Zhang Mingyuan, and other high-level Daoist priests gathered together, silently watching the meteor shower.
Zhang Mingyuan was the first to break the silence.
"The world is about to descend into chaos, and this may not be the last time."
"The third time, how many will it be? Ten million?"
Similarly, within the country, many Professionals on the exchange platforms of major Daoist, Buddhist, Confucian academies, and heterodox sects were also paying attention.
They knew what a huge turmoil one million job-change stones would cause.
Everyone was preparing for the worst, or planning to participate immediately to improve their strength.
Those who had not successfully changed jobs were even rejoicing.
They felt that perhaps with the second wave of meteorites, they would be able to use a job-change stone and successfully change jobs.
America.
The 10-person meeting in the Sky City consisted of representatives from various interest groups.
John, the representative of the military-industrial complex, said excitedly to everyone present.
"Gentlemen, I think we have already witnessed those super soldiers who use job-change stones and possess powerful resilience."
"A new era has arrived, and the world is about to be reshuffled. Whoever controls those job-change stones will be the hegemon of the new era."
The representative of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology group nodded in agreement.
Then, they announced their latest research results.
"Currently, we have found some patterns of biological enhancement in these strong magnetic areas."
"Perhaps in the near future, we ordinary people who have not changed jobs will also be able to continuously grow stronger like those creatures, or even extend our lives and achieve eternal life."
Representatives of other interest groups said impatiently.
"Should we dispatch troops to collect job-change stones around the world?"
"According to current satellite and supercomputer data, at least 100,000 meteorites will land in the African region."
"Those African countries and warlords will certainly not let us enter."
"Dispatch troops and strike the ones that stick their heads out first; other countries will naturally not dare to resist once they see it."
"What if China intervenes?"
This question silenced the others for a moment.
Although they still had some military strength, they really did not want to go to war with such a superpower with a population of over a billion.
Someone analyzed rationally.
"They have too few aircraft carriers, even if they intervene, they won't send too many troops..."
"Let's first go to the African countries and purchase them at high prices. At worst, we'll just print a little more US dollars; someone will pay for it."
The same situation was playing out in countries across the globe.
Several countries in Northeast Asia and Europe with the capability to use satellite detection had received the news in advance.
They were constantly holding meetings, carving up the job-change stone resources in some weaker regions.
Expanded meeting of the National Crisis Response Group.
"According to the current detection data from all aspects, we still cannot find out how these job-change stones appear."
"Satellites and supercomputers have conducted preliminary calculations based on the landing points, trajectories, and quantities of these meteorites."
"The conclusion is that over 400,000 will fall in Asia, the Americas will total around 200,000, Europe and other places will have 250,000, and the rest will be scattered across other continents."
"What about the oceans!"
"Relatively few, about less than 50,000."
"Furthermore, we have discovered that almost no meteorites have fallen in densely populated urban areas around the world."
"Most of them are in sparsely populated areas with many wild animals, or harsh environments like forests, deserts, grasslands, rainforests, snow-capped mountains, and the deep sea."
