20xx, Autumn, T city.

Astronomical data show that the active period of the Radiant meteor shower is very long, lasting from late September to late November. Due to the high declination of the radiant point, the observation conditions in the northern hemisphere are better, so they are also called the meteor shower that runs through the autumn of the northern hemisphere. And this meteor shower may be accompanied by bright fireballs. Astronomical forecasts show that this year's Radiant meteor shower will reach its peak on the 13th and will be visible all night, which is very beneficial for observation in the northern hemisphere.

In fact, meteor showers are not very rare, but it is not easy to see a meteor shower due to external factors such as weather, time, and location.

A few days before and after the maximum, as long as the weather is fine, choose a place away from light interference, find a place with a wide view facing the southeast sky, and look up and look patiently in the southeast direction from 22:00, and you may be able to witness a beautiful and bright "fireball" with a long tail passing gracefully.

A few days before and after the maximum, as long as the weather is fine, choose a place away from light interference, find a place with a wide view facing the southeast sky, and look up and look patiently in the southeast direction from 22:00, and you may be able to witness a beautiful and bright "fireball" with a long tail passing gracefully.

For any astronomy enthusiast, this is a long-awaited surprise and a viewing opportunity not to be missed.

Li Ming is one of the astronomy enthusiasts. He chose the best viewing spot in the suburban mountains, far away from the noisy city, and drove here alone just to wait for this moment to come.

I opened my phone and read the news about the fireball. Then I looked at the time on my phone: 21:40.

Li Ming opened the car door and came to the ground in front of the car. That was the carpet that Li Ming had laid out before. It was most comfortable to lie on it and watch the meteor shower.

Watching a meteor shower is not like watching galaxies or nebulae, where they are waiting for you a minute earlier or later. Meteors are nasty things that disappear in an instant, so you have to make the most of your observation time.

Li Ming lay quietly on the carpet. The soft cushion was very comfortable. He looked up at the bright starry sky, waiting for the beauty of the moment. In the quiet environment, Li Ming always liked to daydream. He was already 28 years old and worked alone in another city. He had no girlfriend, no house, and only a car that was paid for in installments.

His introverted personality makes him a man of few words, but most of the time he is thinking, thinking about life, and thinking about the confused future. The silence at this moment eases his complex emotions. Who who works outside does not have such pressure?

Unconsciously, the cell phone made a beeping sound. Li Ming picked up the phone and took a look. It was the alarm. At 22:00, a meteor shower was approaching in the southeast direction.

Li Ming stared at the sky motionlessly. A few stars were particularly bright. Suddenly, a dozen bright spots appeared. Li Ming sat up excitedly, staring at the dozen bright spots without blinking.

"Oh my...fire meteor..." Li Ming said to himself in surprise.

Although he knew from the astronomical forecast that there might be fireballs, the appearance of more than a dozen of them at once was really exciting. Li Ming stood up from the carpet and stared at that direction, as if standing up could bring him closer to them.

A few seconds later, Li Ming's excited expression suddenly disappeared. These dozen fireballs did not burn up and disappear in the atmosphere, but fell rapidly towards the earth with long flames.

More than half of the dozen or so fireballs disappeared from Li Ming's sight, but three of them flew towards Li Ming at a very fast speed, getting closer and closer. Li Ming subconsciously used his arms to cover his head, feeling that the fireballs were about to hit him.

'Whoosh'

It seemed as if something was passing overhead, and the surrounding mountains were instantly illuminated as brightly as day. A fireball passed over Li Ming's head.

Li Ming turned around hurriedly and saw that the fireball disappeared into a forest in the night sky.

At this moment, Li Ming's heartbeat quickened a lot and he breathed a long sigh of relief. The scene just now happened too suddenly and he didn't even have time to be afraid. Although it was not completely burned up by the atmosphere, what was left was very small. Maybe only a meteorite the size of an egg was left.

There was a soft "pop" sound, and a ball of transparent liquid fell on Li Ming's shoulder.

"Ah!" Li Ming screamed in surprise and jumped. It felt like someone patted you on the shoulder.

Li Ming quickly looked around. There was silence under the night sky and nothing was there. Li Ming subconsciously touched his left shoulder with his right hand and found nothing there except clothes.

Li Ming took a long breath and thought to himself: Is this an illusion?

He sighed slightly and shook his head gently. Maybe it was because of the pressure of life, or maybe it was because the fire meteor that just passed by made him too scared. Looking at the starry sky in the distance, Li Ming couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Forget it, let's go back."

Li Ming bent down to pick up the carpet on the floor, but as soon as he lowered his body, he found a strange thing on the carpet.

This thing is only the size of an egg and is in liquid state, just like a transparent balloon filled with water, except that it also emits a faint light. The light is not transparent throughout the body, but is the starlight inside this liquid sphere.

It seemed as if this liquid sphere was filled with stars in the sky, it was very beautiful. Li Ming looked around again, there was no one around, and it was still so quiet.

What is this thing? Where did it come from? Li Ming was a little confused, and then Li Ming carefully touched it with his fingers. It was soft and very smooth.

Li Ming pinched it carefully with his hand, but there was no change, it was very elastic. He took it in his hand and placed it in front of his eyes. After a closer look, he found that the transparent sphere was shaking slightly in the center of his palm, like jelly.

Li Ming held the thing close to his eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed: Wow... Oh my...

Inside the sphere, there were flickering bright lights that were smaller than rice grains, and it seemed as if something was rotating inside, just like the solar system in space, with groups of light points rotating slightly. This magical scene made Li Ming feel as if he was in the vast universe.

The more he immersed himself in it, the more he felt like he was in that universe. It felt as if Li Ming was holding a universe in his hands, and every corner of this "universe" was under Li Ming's control.

Li Ming opened his mouth wide, unable to believe what he saw, unable to believe this magical feeling. The beauty was fascinating, and the vastness of the starry sky and universe was intoxicating and yearning.

'puff'

Suddenly, there was a sound, and Li Ming felt a ball of liquid entering his throat. The liquid ball in his hand had completely disappeared, and this thing actually jumped into his mouth.

"Cough… cough cough… cough cough cough…"

Li Ming bent over and coughed hard, trying to cough the thing out, but no matter how hard he tried, there was no response. Li Ming immediately became worried and his expression became panic-stricken.

"Oh my god, I'm not going to die, am I?" Li Ming said to himself in panic, thinking quickly about what to do.

Yes, induce vomiting. Li Ming squatted down and put his fingers into his throat. A nauseous feeling immediately came up. Yes, that's it, Li Ming told himself secretly and continued to fiddle with his throat with his fingers.

This is also a little common sense in life. It is a good method after accidentally eating something, but inducing vomiting is not easy. Although the length of the fingers can go deep into the throat to stimulate gastrointestinal reaction, the effect is still minimal.

At this time, Li Ming just wanted to vomit quickly, and stimulated his throat more vigorously. Although it felt very uncomfortable, he had to continue to stimulate it vigorously. I can do it! Li Ming said to himself, as the feeling became heavier, finally.

"Clatter…"

A large pool of liquid came out, and vomiting was successful. Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. After taking a few deep breaths, Li Ming sat up again. He felt something sticky in his mouth, and then he vomited a few more times to get rid of the vomit residue in his mouth. At this time, Li Ming looked at what he vomited, and he only felt a large area in the dark night sky, but he could not see anything clearly.

Li Ming took out his mobile phone, found a branch nearby, and turned on the rear light of the phone. Okay, it is indeed a bit disgusting, but I have to see if the thing has been vomited out. If not, I must go to the hospital.

Li Ming used a wooden stick to scrape at the undigested residues. Soon, a ball of liquid flashing a faint light appeared under the light. Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Not bad, not bad..."

"puff"

The liquid sphere suddenly jumped again and went directly into Li Ming's throat again. Li Ming quickly threw away the mobile phone stick and continued to cough hard while pinching his neck, but the liquid was like water and slid into his stomach in one go.

"Fuck you, your sister..." Li Ming said to himself angrily.

He had finally managed to induce vomiting, but it suddenly jumped back in. Li Ming, in a panic, stopped inducing vomiting and rolled up the carpet casually, thinking to himself, "Let's go to the hospital."

Throwing the carpet casually on the back seat of the car, Li Ming got into the driving seat. Just as he was about to start the car, he remembered that he had left his cell phone with him. Li Ming got out of the car again. Not far away, there was a bright light on the ground, which was the rear light of Li Ming's cell phone.

Li Ming had just taken a few steps when he suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over, as if the world was spinning. His vision began to blur and he fell to the ground with a thump.

Li Ming tried hard to open his eyes, but he had no strength in his body. He could only slowly close his hazy eyes, as if closing his eyes was the most comfortable. He was powerless to resist, so he might as well relax. The only remaining consciousness in his mind echoed one sentence: "I won't die like this, anyone passing by please come and save me..."

In the desolate mountains and wilderness, everything returned to calm, the starry sky gradually dimmed, the earth gradually brightened, the darkness of the night was slowly being driven away by the coming light, the sun in the east was slowly rising, and the morning light passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves to warm the earth again.

Li Ming's eyes trembled slightly. Before he opened his eyes, he felt the strong light stimulating his visual nerves through his eyelids. He subconsciously raised his right arm to cover his eyes. Li Ming then opened his eyes and felt that there seemed to be something in his right hand.

What.

He turned his right hand and found it was his own mobile phone. Li Ming then sat up, his whole body sore and painful, as if he had done physical work all night. He was powerless all over. He looked at the phone in his hand again and saw a bunch of English codes on the screen, just like a computer blue screen.

Li Ming didn't pay attention to the changes in his phone. He checked around first. His car was still there and everything was the same as before, without any change. His heavy head felt dizzy, and what happened before he fell into a coma last night began to become blurry, just like a dream.

Li Ming patted his head gently with his left hand, took a long breath, and looked at the mobile phone in his hand. He pressed a key with his finger until the phone turned off and then pressed the key again.

After the phone restarted, there was 5% battery left. The time was 07:35. At this moment, Li Ming suddenly thought of something: Oh no, I have to go to work today.

Li Ming quickly got up and got into the car, inserted the key and started the vehicle directly. He turned the car around and drove down the mountain road. Coming down the mountain road is the provincial road leading to the city. It takes 30 minutes to drive to City T along the provincial road.

Li Ming turned on the radio while driving and took out a bottle of water from the seat. He felt dry mouth and something sticky in his mouth. He opened the bottle cap and was about to take a sip to rinse his mouth. However, just as the bottle cap reached his mouth and he hadn't started drinking, the bottle of water went straight down his throat into his stomach with a "splash".

"Huh?" Li Ming looked confused. The bottle in his hand had become empty. A bottle of water disappeared in less than a second, and there was no extra water next to the car seat. Li Ming was a little surprised, but still felt a little thirsty. Maybe he was too thirsty. Li Ming didn't care too much. He threw the empty bottle aside and continued driving on his way.

"According to reports, the meteor shower peaked at double digits last night, October 13. An astronomy enthusiast filmed the entire process. The characteristics of this meteor shower are long traces, slow speed, and very bright. Many netizens even posted the most exciting moments of this meteor shower online through videos for everyone to enjoy. Although there is no immersive feeling, this meteor shower still shocked many astronomy enthusiasts. This meteor shower will last until late November. Some experts remind you to find an open place to watch the meteor shower and avoid tall buildings or mountains. At the same time, they also remind everyone to keep warm when watching. The next piece of news is..."

Li Ming raised his hand to turn off the radio and continued to concentrate on his journey.
