Chapter 69 A Solar Storm Strikes the Earth Lee Kwang-han is in distress halfway

Today is the last day of staying in Sichuan, and tomorrow the expert delegation will return to Beijing. Where will you find so many excuses to get close to Lee Kwang Han in the future? Su Yaoguang dealt with Chen Aili on the surface, and wondered in her heart whether the little junior sister in front of her could play a role.

"Xiao Chen, what are your plans after graduating from graduate school?" Su Yaoguang asked Chen Aili with a smile and concern.

"Well, I haven't found a job yet. I thought about whether I should continue my PhD or try to stay in school. Chen Aili pretended to become preoccupied all of a sudden.

"Ever thought about studying abroad? I can recommend you. You can also come to my lab and do research. Su Yaoguang said seriously.

"Really? That's great! When I go back, I will work hard to write my graduation thesis and defend it well. Then prepare the application materials carefully, and then I will ask you to help me write a letter of recommendation. I don't have the luxury of expecting a full scholarship, and the half prize is thankful. It's a great honor to meet you, thank you! Chen Aili said "ecstatic".

"Don't be too busy thanking me yet, I have a lot to trouble you in the future. You know, it's been more than ten years since I left Beijing and Huajing University, and Beijing has changed so much over the years. I don't know many of the professors in the Faculty of Physics, and if I want to work with them for a while, I'm worried that my thinking and ideas will be a little different, so I'll have to ask you for advice on how to do it. Su Yaoguang said modestly.

"Huh? I, as a graduate student, don't know the subtleties between these professors. Chen Aili said embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter, if you don't understand, you can ask people who know, the physics community in Beijing is so big, and sooner or later you will have to be familiar with this circle." Su Yaoguang nodded at Chen Aili, and then continued: "Xiao Chen, after returning to Beijing, you can accompany me to visit his old man at Deng's hometown." I haven't seen a teacher in more than ten years. I'm ashamed. ”

Su Yaoguang knew the relationship between Deng Lao and Li Guanghan, which was beyond the ordinary teacher-student friendship. Therefore, she pinned her hopes on expressing her apologies to Deng Lao and asking for forgiveness, so that she could get close to Li Guanghan indirectly.

Through her contact with Su Yaoguang these days, Chen Aili can see that she is an extremely smart, thoughtful, good at disguise, and a woman who is well versed in scheming and human nature. Her wrists are smart and unobtrusive, and she makes those around her feel comfortable, thus reducing the opposite, so that in the end she can achieve her purpose according to her wishes. Chen Aili felt funny in her heart, does such a delicate egoist still need to ask me about the sophistication of the School of Physics? She just wanted to find an excuse to get close to Lee Kwang Han, and wanted me to match the gap between them.

Both women pretended to be confused, humble, polite, simple and understanding on the surface, but in fact they were thinking about what to do next.

In order to save highway tolls, the tourist car pulling this group of physicists wanted to take a shortcut to rush back to Chengdu before dark, and picked a narrow provincial road to walk. The car was driving normally in the twilight, and the people in the car were drowsy. Suddenly, the music playing on the radio in the car turned into a loud noise, "squeak and rattle"; The navigator on the driver's override console also suddenly appeared garbled characters, and then the screen went completely black; The lights in the small restaurants on both sides of the provincial road flickered on and off, and then went out completely. Some low-quality incandescent bulbs also make an exploding "pop" sound. The people in the car exclaimed, they found that there was no cell phone signal either, and people stood up and looked at the front and sides of the road.

Everyone's first reaction was that there was an earthquake. Because the tragic situation of the Wenchuan earthquake four years ago is still fresh in people's memories, will this similar place catch up with the earthquake again! People were gossiping, and the driver quickly pulled the car against the side of the road and stopped.

The leaders and drivers of the delegation got out of the car to inspect and found that there were no collapsed houses on either side of the road, no cracks in the ground, and no landslides or mudslides in the distant mountains.

Soon, the physicists immediately thought that it was a violent solar storm that had hit the Earth just in time for a crack in the Earth's magnetic field. This type of super solar storm is a large explosion of flares generated by the sun at the peak of sunspot activity, which releases a high-speed stream of particles composed of a large number of charged particles into space. Due to the high-energy explosion of electromagnetic radiation, accompanied by coronal mass ejections and clouds of charged particles traveling close to the speed of light, it will seriously affect the Earth's satellite navigation facilities, radio communications, power equipment, etc. That's why it caused emergencies such as power outages, mobile phone signal disappearance, and communication interruptions. This solar magnetic storm erupts violently every 11 years. 2012 is exactly the year when a super solar storm is likely to erupt.

The villages on both sides of the provincial highway began to be restless, and people rushed to the main road to find out. After some explanations from scientists, the driver of the tour bus felt that it was not terrible, as long as there was gasoline in the car, the road was not destroyed, and he knew the road, he could drive back to Chengdu.

So everyone continued on the road, the tour bus drove slowly, and after a while, there was a long queue of traffic jams. It turned out that there was a train crossing in front of it, because the solar storm affected the normal use of the crossing signal lights and barriers. All vehicles were stopped at the gates, and it was not known when they could pass.

The people in the car had no choice but to get out of the car and move their bodies, and find a roadside restaurant to fill their stomachs by the way. The vicinity of the crossing suddenly became chaotic, and the voices of people were boiling. Some small traders rushed to the scene and sold instant noodles and boiled water at high prices.

Li Guanghan and his entourage and foreign experts were quite conspicuous in the crowd, and at first glance they were high-level people. A few of the ill-intentioned ruffians saw that these elite-looking people were also asking this and that from the roadside vendors, and they felt that their opportunity had come. Quietly, they slowly approached the foreign experts, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, and put their hands into their pockets and backpacks.

Li Guanghan inadvertently turned his head to see this scene, he shouted, rushed up and grabbed the wrist of one of the thieves, buckled it back, and snatched the wallet out of his hand. Then he loudly reminded the people around him to take precautions. As soon as the ruffians saw that there was a high-ranking person here, they immediately hid and fled. The guy who was caught quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. Li Guanghan saw that there was no signal on his mobile phone, so he couldn't call the police, so he could only criticize the education and tell him to stay away.

The scientists continued to look for small restaurants to eat, and no one noticed that the ruffians who had stolen and could not wait for revenge were following everyone. Chen Aili followed everyone forward with the repeater she had just bought hanging on her backpack, and with one hand she tore off the repeater with a "whoosh", and pulled the crossbow string to the back of Li Guanghan, who was walking in front.
