I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 941-950

Chapter 941: The Spotted Asteroid

William James was shocked.

He didn't even think the 20-second video he took, uploaded to YouTube, then posted to his Twitter would create an Internet storm

He wasn't a social media influencer and no more than one hundred people on Twitter followed him. Most of them were his real friends with the rest of his following consisting of strangers. He didn't expect that just two hours after uploading the video, the video would become viral and easily broke the 100,000 mark, rapidly moving towards the 500,000 views.

Happiness came too suddenly and too inexplicably.

William didn't realize what was going on and just watched his Twitter followings skyrocketing.

Two hours ago, he saw a meteor outside the window of the space elevator.

That's right, it was a meteor!

Meteors were formed after friction with the atmosphere of the asteroid. There was no air in the universe, and naturally, it was impossible to form a gorgeous, flaming tail. He was convinced he didn't make a mistake, and that the bright spot had a flaming tail! In a dark universe, it was so bright and visible!

Unlike most civil airliners, when the altitude exceeded 100 kilometers, the space elevator could access the network through the quantum communication satellites of Celestial Trade and the network speed would still be quite fast.

Clicking on the video he uploaded, he opened the comment page, and after watching the 20-second video, the netizens left their own amazed comments.

"God! What did I see? There are meteors in outer space? Isn't this a scene that is only visible in the atmosphere?"

"There's nothing to see. I'm a professional pornography examiner. I have to watch thousands of videos every day. I can confidently say this video is photoshopped! There are too many unreasonable scenes; there are so many that I don't know where to start."

"To the comment above, you're not a professional pornography examiner! I perform video verification for the courts. From a professional point of view, this video doesn't have any synthetic components at all. In addition, photoshop is an image processing software. Read more books before you speak online."

"The comment above is amazing!"

William looked at the line of comments on his phone.

He didn't expect that the video he uploaded would create such heated discussions.

"The name of the video uploader's Twitter is William James. I saw it on the official website of Celestial Trade. The name of this person is included on the list of foreign guests participating in the first train ceremony! This video should be real, but how can they access the internet on the space elevator?"

"Are you dumb? There's internet connection in all areas covered by the quantum communication satellite. There's free Wi-Fi in any place in Xin, yet you're asking how can they access the internet?"

He was dumbfounded by this. Just as he was preparing to post something on his Twitter, the elevator crew made an announcement.

"This Ch-001 train is about to arrive. In the train deceleration phase, the carriage will experience upward gravity. To avoid accidents, please return to your seats and fasten your seat belt. The current speed is 2.1 kilometer per second. The deceleration time is..."

The angular velocity was constant, and as the altitude increased, the linear velocity of the elevator itself naturally increased. The macroscopic performance was that the farther away from Earth, the more obvious the sense of weightlessness in the elevator felt. When the elevator arrived at the synchronous orbit, the speed of the passengers and the elevator would also reach the synchronous orbit rotating speed, at which time the elevator would reach complete weightlessness.
