Chapter 80: The Red Troll
There is no doubt that Pang Xuelin's plan for the change of orbit was unanimously approved by the coalition government, the military and the scientific committee.
With this plan as the foundation, Pang Xuelin was directly appointed by the coalition government as the chief scientist of the ground-wood intersection plan, and he had a lot of say in dealing with the crises that may occur in the process of the earth-wood intersection and derailment.
At Pang Xuelin's suggestion, the coalition government entered a state of global mobilization half a month ahead of schedule, and the media began to report on the various crises that might be caused by the intersection of the ground and wood.
In some cities with a high probability of geological disasters, the coalition government has carried out a certain degree of evacuation.
Even the flint, which has always been under the strict control of the coalition government, has been loosened to a certain extent.
In the movie, Pang Xuelin originally couldn't understand why the dungeon didn't have flint reserves and needed to be transported from other places.
It wasn't until he sat in this position that he learned that the flint, while the key to restarting the planetary engine, was also a super dangerous item, and the spaceship terrorist group had been trying to get one or two flints to transform them into a super thermonuclear bomb.
Therefore, with the exception of coalition governments, only the former P5 on earth have flint reserves.
These flints are stored in special warehouses and are only activated when it is critical to do so.
In the movie, the coalition government organizes a saturation rescue, that is, for each planetary engine that has an accident, more than a dozen rescue teams are prepared to transport flints and participate in the rescue.
As long as one of the dozen rescue teams successfully arrives in the stopped planetary engine, the rescue operation can be a complete success.
For example, in the movie, CN171-11 squad, CN stands for Greater China, 171 represents the No. 171 planetary engine, and team 11 represents the eleventh team responsible for rescuing engine No. 171.
Unfortunately, in the movie, none of the more than a dozen rescue detachments responsible for rescuing Jiangcheng completed the rescue of Jiangcheng's No. 1 engine.
In the end, Jiangcheng No. 1 Dungeon was completely engulfed by magma.
This time, Pang Xuelin naturally didn't want such a tragedy to happen in his hometown.
He has communicated with the military and the government that for planetary engines that may be shut down, they will store flint near them and rescue them if necessary.
Although there is a certain political risk in doing so, and the activities of the spaceship terrorist organization have not stopped, it is still worth the risk compared to the millions of rescuers who died on the road.
In addition, near the peri-wood point, the Earth's atmospheric tides caused by Jupiter's gravity may cause a sharp drop in atmospheric pressure in some areas, so for each circum-equatorial steering engine, the coalition government has also prepared flints in advance nearby.
Time passed.
The Earth and Jupiter are getting closer by the day.
That evening, Pang Xuelin finished dinner and watched TV on the sofa with Yao Bingxia.
"According to the latest news received by this station, starting from nine o'clock tonight, the earth will officially enter the earth transfer orbit, the transfer process is expected to last seventy-two hours, at present, the world's major dungeons are doing the final preparations before the transfer of ground and wood, some dangerous areas of the dungeon have completed the evacuation of all the population, hundreds of thousands of rescue teams in major regions of the world have been solemnly waiting, ready to participate in the rescue at any time......"
Pang Xuelin said: "Xiao Xia, let's go to the ground tomorrow to see Jupiter!" ”
Yao Bingxia was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Isn't the coalition government not allowed to go out?" ”
Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is no problem for us to go out, Hope City is located in the Central Siberian Plateau, with an altitude of more than 1,500 meters, surrounded by grasslands and forests, and the earth's crust is stable, even if Jupiter causes an earthquake and a tsunami, it will not affect us, compared with Hope City, the ground may be safer!" ”
"Okay, let's go together!"
Early the next morning, Pang Xuelin and Liu Xin took a leave and went to the ground.
Liu Xin naturally won't stop it.
Pang Xuelin has completed the most important link of the intersection and transfer of ground and wood, and the rest of the work can be handed over to others to do.
Pang Xuelin prepared a heavy all-terrain vehicle and enough food for him and Yao Bingxia to eat for a week, left Hope City, and came to the top of a grassy hill near Hope City, patiently waiting for the arrival of the critical moment of the intersection of ground and wood.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky began to show a hint of anomalous signs.
A dark red light gradually appeared on the horizon, and the area of light rapidly expanded, soon extending to the entire width of the horizon.
There is a neat boundary between the dark red area and the dark starry sky, the boundary is arc-shaped, the huge arc spans from one end of the horizon to the other, and slowly rises, the sky under the giant arc turns dark red, as if a dark red curtain the same size as the starry sky is separating the earth from the entire universe.
Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia were wearing thermal suits, standing hand in hand next to the all-terrain vehicle, looking at the dark red curtain that was covering the sky step by step, and couldn't help but gasp.
It's a cosmic wonder like you've never seen before.
Although Pang Xuelin had seen such a picture in the movie for a long time, after he was really in this world, he felt that the scene shown in the movie was far less spectacular than the one ten-thousandth of what he saw now.
He could clearly see the storm in Jupiter's clouds, which churned the clouds into confusing chaotic lines, and beneath the thick clouds were boiling oceans of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium.
It didn't take long for the famous Great Red Spot, a great vortex that had been on Jupiter's surface for hundreds of thousands of years, so large that it could swallow three entire Earths.
By this time, Jupiter had filled the entire sky, and the Earth seemed to be a balloon floating in a sea of dark red clouds boiling with Jupiter!
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is right in the middle of the sky, like a giant red eye staring at the human world, and the earth is shrouded in its eerie red light......
At the same time, Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia also saw that there was an obvious scratch in Jupiter's sea of clouds.
That's the trace of Earth's gravitational pull on Jupiter's surface, where the Earth also pulls up huge waves of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium.
"Brother Xiaolin, we, can we escape Jupiter's gravitational range?"
Pang Xuelin could feel that Yao Bingxia's body beside him was stiff, and his voice was trembling.
After all, from the ground, it is impossible for the Earth to even become a moon of Jupiter, and it seems that humanity is about to fall into a hell covered by a boundless sea of clouds!
Pang Xuelin patted Yao Bingxia's hand and said, "Xiao Xia, believe me, we will definitely succeed!" ”
Having said that, at this time, even Pang Xuelin himself was a little skeptical that the earth and wood intersection would succeed.
Pang Xuelin's calculations were accurate, and for the next three days, although the dark red chaotic sky had been pressing on their heads, judging from the news coming back from all over the world, the situation was not as bad as imagined.
A total of 1,578 planetary engines in the world were shut down due to crustal disturbances, and in the end, only 13 of the 1,578 planetary engines were not rescued in time due to various accidents.
Fortunately, nine of the thirteen dungeons were evacuated in time and did not cause large-scale casualties.
Although the Jiangcheng No. 1 engine also suffered a shutdown, it was finally successfully rescued with the efforts of Wang Lei's team.
Although the 100-meter tide formed by Jupiter's gravity caused the ice to break up in the central Pacific Ocean, the tide quickly froze again due to the cold, and the tsunami caused by it basically did not have much impact on the inland Earth.
Three days later, the dark red sky finally changed, revealing a black corner on the western horizon, and the black rapidly expanded, and stars could be seen twinkling, and the earth was breaking out of the gravitational clutches of the red troll.
Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia hugged excitedly in front of the ATV to celebrate the historic moment.
