Chapter 1 When a meteorite strikes, are you ready?

Next Chapter

A Christmas day, after a year of many disasters, people are desperate for the year to pass sooner and the disaster to subside.

After all, this year has been a year full of suffering for all mankind.

Plagues, famines, wars, deaths, the four horsemen of the apocalypse recorded in the Bible have almost ravaged the world, and human beings are obviously so vulnerable in the face of the disasters brought by nature.

However, people have not given up hope, even in the face of disasters we are still trying to fight, fighting against these disasters, showing the most precious golden spirit of mankind - full of hope, never bow to disasters.

However, it was as if God had played a big joke on mankind, on this day, a huge meteorite with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers was discovered by astronomers, and astronomers calculated that the orbit of this huge meteorite would intersect with the orbit of the blue star and that it would hit the blue star within a few months.

Governments of various countries immediately blocked the news as soon as they learned of it, and almost all astronomers were banned in order to avoid causing panic in society.

But this kind of news cannot be blocked.

After all, meteorites hang in the sky, and as meteorites get closer and closer to the blue star, astronomers around the world can see comets that are getting brighter and bigger in the night sky as long as they set up their telescopes.

In addition, it is difficult not to catch clues about the space operations and various countermeasures launched by governments in this era when the Internet is so advanced.

These clues naturally spread on the Internet, and while the discussion was eager, some prescient people also began to hoard supplies after smelling the clues.

There have been so many disasters this year that many people have already experienced them.

Food, medicine, protective equipment, communication equipment...... These emergency supplies were sold out by everyone as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there are a lot of disasters this year, and the companies that produce these emergency supplies have increased the output of these disaster necessities, especially the emergency food that can be placed for 20 or even 40 years, which has become the most surgent material at this time.

Although this year, emergency food has been one of the most popular disaster response supplies after protective equipment.

It's just that compared to rushing to buy these materials, in Chen Xin's opinion, it is more important to dig a shelter for himself.

Chen Xin is an Internet writer, usually relying on the code words on major novel websites for a living, as a writer, the most important thing is naturally the brain hole and logical thinking ability, after all, the so-called novel, the essence is a logical brain hole that can attract people.

And this undoubtedly leads to the fact that in the face of such a possible disaster, Chen Xin's thinking is more complex than others.

Meteorite hits the blue star, how can humans avoid the disaster?

This question immediately came to Chen Xin's mind.

Fortunately, as an Internet writer, Chen Xin usually has a lot of brain holes, and he also has the habit of recording these brain holes and trying to think and improve, and the situation of a meteorite hitting a blue star happens to be within the scope of Chen Xin's brain holes.

While hoarding supplies and searching for information that may be found on the Internet, Chen Xin did not forget to dig out the brain holes he had thought about from the folder where he recorded his brain holes.

When a giant meteorite hits the blue star, the first thing it brings is a violent impact.

Judging by the current volume of this meteorite, even if countries have space interception programs, the probability of success is not high, and the most likely is that the meteorite will be broken into several smaller pieces because of human interception actions, or it will pass over the blue star, or hit the blue star.

However, this does not mean that the degree of disaster will be reduced, and do not think that a small meteorite is not so dangerous, because this small is relative to the meteorite body with a diameter of more than ten kilometers.

Even if it shatters into fragments of meteorites several kilometers in size, hitting the blue star can still bring devastating disasters.

Meteorites with a diameter of more than 5 kilometers hit the Blue Star, and at least 1,000 kilometers of the impact point will leave no people or animals left.

The impact of the meteorite will lift the material near the impact site directly into space, and the heat energy generated by the friction between the meteorite and the atmosphere and the energy released by the impact will form a wall of blazing fire at least a dozen kilometers high and a temperature of more than thousands of degrees Celsius, sweeping everything within a radius of at least 1,500 kilometers.

In this range, even if you can hide in the underground bunker, there is a great probability that you will be smothered by this high temperature in the bunker like a stuffy kiln chicken in Meizhou, Guangdong, even if you dig the bunker deep enough, the ensuing earthquake of at least 11 or more will be enough to bury you alive.

If you're lucky, maybe you'll be able to dig up your fossil if humans survive tens of millions of years from now.

If you are interested in leaving a trace of humanity, you can give a middle finger and future generations of humanity will surely be moved by your optimism.

The shock wave caused by the meteorite impact will spread back and forth around the world several times the speed of sound, so no matter where you are in the blue star, you can hear the violent sound caused by the meteorite impact.

If you're in the opposite hemisphere from the meteorite impact site, there's no danger for the time being, and the sound of the shock wave is enough to remind you to take cover.

But this is just the beginning, and the disaster has just begun.

Over the next few days, a firestorm of haze and debris will cover the entire Blue Star, raising the global temperature from two levels to the equator to 70-200 degrees, turning the entire surface of the Blue Star into a giant oven.

The entire surface of the earth will become unsuitable for human life, all plants will be scorched by this heat until they burn, and the toxic and harmful gases produced by the global fires will spread throughout the atmosphere, killing most of the life on the surface.

And all this is still just a prelude and prelude to disaster, everything can only be said to be an appetizer before a big meal.

As the temperature of the atmosphere rises, the sea level will also rise rapidly, and the kinetic energy released by the impact of meteorites will produce a tsunami thousands of meters high to hit almost all coastal cities.

The smog created by the impact clouds of dust and the toxic gases from the global fires will obscure the sunlight and cover the blue star for tens or even hundreds of years, plunging the blue star into a long dark night.

The material lifted into space by the meteorite impact, as well as the smaller fragments of the meteorite itself, will continue to hit the blue star.

In the hemisphere where the meteorite impact site is located, it is like carpet bombing, and the continuous impact of meteorites will make it impossible for few people in the entire hemisphere to survive.

Even if you are able to hide in an underground bunker, you will not survive this kind of meteorite bombardment ranging from a few meters to several hundred meters almost every day.

As for the hemisphere that hits the opposite location, the luck will be slightly better, but there will also be random meteorite falls, and it can almost be said that there is a certain chance of seeing a meteorite smash a few tall buildings when you go out.

But that's not all, as the world is covered in a thick cloud of dust and toxic gases, and temperatures are set to cool rapidly over the next few months.

If the high-latitude cities had not been destroyed in the impact, the temperature would have dropped to minus 70 degrees, while the equatorial regions would have been slightly better, probably minus twenty or thirty degrees.

Because this long night will last for tens or even hundreds of years, and the extremely cold weather will last for a whole century, in this long long night of extreme cold, the setting of the ice vapor age will become a reality.
