(Ps: I'm also drunk, the number two and three was forcibly changed to 2123 by the system, and now it's also a homophone, Arabic numerals and Chinese characters can't be typed, just add a hundred to you, is this also a sensitive number?) It's really a day)

A solar storm occurs when radioactive radiation on the surface of the sun explodes and charged particles explode at a speed of millions of kilometers per hour.

In addition to a strong enough radiation explosion to affect more than half of the world's radio communications, the coronal mass ejection emitted by the Sun eruption is powerful enough to sweep directly across the Earth, easily destroying the power grid facilities on the surface, including unprotected satellites in space.

The 1859 superstorm of Carrington wreaked havoc on the telegraph system at the time, but in the age of the steam engine, it did not have much impact on human daily life.

However, if such a strong super solar storm is encountered in today's modern society, the consequences are unimaginable, and it will inevitably bring a heavy blow to the global economy.

One of the more notable examples was in Canada in 1989, when a high-energy solar storm overloaded Quebec's power grid, leaving more than six million people without power in Canada and eastern magnesium countries.

The Toronto Stock Exchange was shut down due to a solar storm that burned all the electronic equipment, which scared many people, and ESA and NASA jointly established the Solar Storm Warning Satellite SOHO.

Obviously, if a solar storm occurs, the major powers will definitely be able to predict it in advance.

"Master, the results of the simulation evolution are out."

After waiting for a while, Cortana heard a response.

Luo Sheng put the teacup aside, tapped lightly on the keyboard a few times, and stared at the panel information.

After reading the results, Luo Sheng said: "Contact Academician Yang of the Academy of Space Sciences, and I want to start a video call with him. ”

Cortana: "A communication request has been established. ”

In a moment, a window popped up on a realistic surface in front of Luo Sheng, and a man over fifty years old wearing glasses appeared on the screen, and at first glance, the hairline was a "smart" man.

It is Academician Yang Demao in Luo Sheng's mouth.

"Mr. Luo? It's a surprise that you've come to the door on your own initiative, and this is the first time. Yang Demao said with a smile.

Luo Sheng answered the signal and went straight to the point and asked, "Professor Yang, what do you think about the solar activity in four years?" ”

Yang Demao was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "You came to the door specifically for this matter?" Wait, I'll look up the data. ”

After a while, Yang Demao looked at Luo Sheng in the video video again and said: "The result of data processing is equivalent to one-tenth of the solar activity of the 2012 cycle, what's wrong?" How could you care about this? ”

Luo Sheng said succinctly: "But the result I calculated is equivalent to twice the size of Superstorm Carrington, at least twice as much. ”

Yang Demao didn't react for a while, and after a while, he was shocked: "What? How is this possible? ”

Luo Sheng said: "Solar physics research involves the use of many instruments, usually in different space or ground observation stations with a lot of data, time lag and other factors increase complexity and error, the Institute of Space Science should not have the ability to analyze and process, I recently developed a new tool, which is to process large amounts of data and improve future risk assessment, can filter 100,000 datasets at a time, and train an evolutionary model that can recognize the signs of an impending outbreak, Professor Yang, I will send it to you." ”

Yang Demao nodded solemnly after a tactical support mirror, he believed that Luo Sheng would not be idle and come over to scare him, this is not something that can be joked about casually.

After the model tool was transmitted, Yang Demao immediately demonstrated it, and at the same time, he also heard Luo Sheng's voice on the video screen again.

"This suite of tools benefits from powerful AI assistance to link solar wind drivers to the level of magnetic fields around the Earth and track their connection to solar storms to spot anomalies in the data. The algorithm provides an 'anomaly score' for each set of data nodes and is currently capable of collecting data from more than 100 satellite missions and developing visualization capabilities for further research. ”

After a pause, Luo Sheng added: "To put it simply, it can already create simulations of the solar phenomena needed to simulate superstorms like the 1859 Carrington event, and we can get every single data in a superstorm and thus effectively predict it." ”

At this time, Yang Demao looked at the evolution process of computing simulation, he didn't say a word, but his expression became more and more solemn.

Solar flares erupt, super giant solar storms take the lead in destroying the earth's high-altitude atmosphere, accompanied by giant electromagnetic pulses, communication between satellites and the earth is interrupted, solar storms cause violent ionic currents, satellites or other artificial celestial bodies that do not do special protection will basically be scrapped, and the satellites currently operating in orbit do not do much protection in this area at all, which means that everything will be finished.

Communications on the ground will be affected next, but that's not the worst part.

Yang Demao continued to watch the model evolve and move forward.

Twenty-four hours later, the plasma cloud came to Earth and collided with the magnetosphere, causing a violent geomagnetic storm at which point all flights had to be terminated.

The geomagnetic storm seriously affects the power grid transformer, followed by a global blackout, the lights will go out, the Internet will be turned off, and the Dabai robot can no longer use the navigation system, but fortunately, the image vision AI perception system can be used, but the premise is that Dabai can avoid this solar storm and not be destroyed by the electromagnetic pulse, and any equipment that needs electricity will be turned off.

In most modern cities, electronically controlled urban water supply systems will be paralyzed, toilets and sewage systems will stop working, gradually become dirty and messy, heating, air conditioning and cold storage will be paralyzed and malfunctioning, perishable food and medicine will deteriorate, which in turn will lead to shortages of water and food, prices will skyrocket, urban life will be seriously disrupted, air pumps will be taken offline, and so on......

At this moment, it is difficult for Yang Demao to imagine and predict how much loss of power will be caused to people's lives and what consequences will be caused by the sudden loss of the power grid of billions of electricity-hungry human beings.

At the moment, he is concerned about the series of rolling numbers in the evolution of the simulation, which soar wildly as the simulation progresses in time, which represents the economic damage caused by the solar storm, which is more than 7.6892 trillion US dollars.

This is still a direct economic loss.

"Mr. Luo, how reliable is your model? This is no joke, it involves pre- and post-disaster preparedness and reconstruction, and a disaster of this magnitude is a major event that requires the mobilization of the whole country, and once there is a miscalculation and miscalculation, no one can afford to take this responsibility. Yang Demao said very seriously, at this moment, he very much hoped that Luo Sheng would come to joke with him.

If the solar storm really comes, the biggest impact is to cause a large-scale power outage, and then trigger a chain reaction, the power outage can be as short as a few days or as long as months or even years, if there is a response plan in advance, the closure of some power plants will help protect the substation after the reinforcement and protection, and they will all be counted on in the post-disaster reconstruction, without electricity, the big machines will not be able to operate, and the efficiency and cost of post-disaster reconstruction will also soar, on the contrary, the post-disaster reconstruction can be completed faster and people's lives can return to normal.

But what if there is a misjudgment, a miscalculation?

Who is responsible for the damage?

No one dares to take this responsibility.

"I am 100% sure that this solar storm will hit, and if there is really a misjudgment and miscalculation, I am willing to bear all the consequences." Luo Sheng replied with great firmness that he was a person who had experienced this natural disaster, but this natural disaster did not involve mankind in the wasteland world where order collapsed, at least several large countries recovered quickly, especially those with strong mobilization capabilities, and recovered the fastest.

And this time with an early warning, Luo Sheng has full confidence that he can further reduce the loss, and there is still more than four years of preparation time, which is not short.

The reason why the previous life suffered heavy losses was the result of misjudging the power of the flare explosion.

Fortunately, this cosmic catastrophe is not a 10-kilometer-level asteroid hitting the earth, if an asteroid hits the earth, with the current level of human technology, it will basically be sent to the Stone Age and enter the disorderly wasteland world.

Yang Demao heard Luo Sheng's exact reply, but his heart became even heavier, and he was silent for a short moment before saying: "You have to immediately convene an emergency meeting to discuss and write an emergency report and submit it as soon as possible, by the way, Mr. Luo, who else knows about this matter?" ”

"It's you and me for now." Luo Sheng replied simply, and added: "Professor Yang, remember to sign my name in the report materials submitted." ”

Luo Sheng's name is also very weighty, which will make the boss pay more attention, and signing also means taking responsibility, in case it is really a misjudgment or misjudgment, it will be held accountable.
