Chapter 24, Solar Eclipse

The night of the desert was very cold, the stars hung on the clean sky, bringing a glimmer of light to the land, on a railway construction site, a group of giants were still working hard, they paved the sand, and then poured the broken stones from the train behind them, and then paved them, and then put the sleepers on, and finally put the rails on the sleepers and fixed them, and in this way, the railway moved forward little by little, and the train transporting construction materials also moved forward.

In the past six months, there have been no special circumstances except for the occasional natural disasters such as sandstorms and tornadoes, which have caused some losses and delays.

But today it was different, there were obviously more people on guard than before, they seemed to have been notified of something, they knew what was going to happen, but Royce, who was a construction worker, did not get any exact news from it, but was told that nothing would happen, and that they were relieved to go to work.

Say not to be nervous, that's false, as the railway continues to extend to the depths of the desert, advancing more than 1,000 kilometers, it is already in a quarter of the position of the desert of silence, that is to say, another quarter of the construction will reach the position of the Grand Canyon, which is located on the dividing line where the two forces collide, and it is strange that nothing happens.

As a construction worker, these things are really beyond Royce's control, and he can only pray that the enemy's attack will not fall on his head, and hope that the soldiers will be able to defeat the enemy.

"Ahh ~It's so cold. ”

"Royce, aren't you used to it?"

"How can you get used to this kind of ghost weather, it's hot to death during the day, and it's cold to death at night, so except for the two time periods of sunrise and sunset, which are more comfortable, the rest of the time is hell."

"Hold on, wait for sunrise and get off work and rest."

"That's right, the facilities of the temporary camp are really good, there is air conditioning, heating, and plenty of food, if you don't have these, then I really don't know how to adapt to it!"

"We're not here to enjoy, we're here to defeat the enemy."

"Got it, you've said it many times."

"How's the combat skills doing?"

"It's okay!"

"If you don't form combat effectiveness at that time, it will not only be you who will die, but also other people, I hope you understand the seriousness of the matter."

"Alright! When the time comes, I can do it, I can do it! ”

Just as Royce finished saying this, there was a huge explosion in the direction of the temporary camp, and the flames that rose to the sky illuminated half of the sky, and when he looked up, the camp was bombed in chaos, and the flames were burning everywhere, some people fled with the flames, of course, many more people were gone, and this sudden situation made Royce stunned.

"What are you doing there? Go and save people! ”

The man who slapped Royce on the shoulder, and ran to the camp to save people.

Royce, who was woken up by the film, followed the people in front of him, and he did whatever they did, and it didn't make much sense to think about it so much.

Just when Royce thought this was the worst situation, at the place where they had just been working, the construction train was also attacked, and the explosions were heard one after another, and there was no intention of stopping at all.

Then I saw a large group of robots crawling up from the desert, and then attacked directly, machine guns, machine guns, rockets, etc., swarming, dense attacks, so that the garrison fighters could only dodge, and could not carry out effective counteroffensive operations.

Seeing that the situation was a little bad, Royce immediately took his partner's hand and broke through in a direction where there was no enemy, and this so-called breakthrough direction was just a gap deliberately set by the robot, and the direction of this gap was leading to the Grand Canyon, and their results can be imagined.

Not long after the two of them ran out, they were surrounded by a group of robots armed to the teeth, and they had no weapons in their hands, so they could only surrender, and they would eventually be transported to the captive camp to become a test subject.

The ordinary robots that undertook the main attack task were finally reimbursed, and they were jointly destroyed by the strong people who rushed over from behind, but they also achieved good results, so that the other party stopped the construction, and resumed the construction operation a few days later.

This kind of thing is happening in several other directions, and as long as the other side is still building the railway, then it is impossible to stop such sneak attacks and sabotage.

One wants to move the front forward as soon as possible, and the other wants to delay the opponent's general attack, both of them wrestle in this regard, and both have various reasons why they cannot back down.

Tan Qiusheng, who was in the rear, already knew how the battle was going, and for her, it was not a big deal to lose some ordinary robots, and it was a good deal to be able to complete the task and delay their speed.

For Tan Qiusheng, the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for her, dozens of meteorological satellites have been launched, much slower than expected, and it is also a lot more difficult, mainly because the resources are insufficient, and the materials needed for meteorological satellites are relatively scarce types, so it can't be done like speeding up.

This is a disaster for the whole plan, if you can't complete the goal before the enemy advances, then this base camp may be captured by them, and then the strategy will have to be shifted, and the progress of development will be greatly delayed, which is really a bad situation.

Since the meteorological plan can't catch up, then you have to come up with another plan to fill this gap, and Tan Qiusheng didn't think of any good plan for a while, so he decided to remotely control an ordinary robot to go for a walk in the desert and take a walk.

On the desert of dawn, a robot walks alone on the gravel, it has no purpose, and it does not need any purpose, just stop and go, curiously observing everything here, although there is no beautiful landscape, but there is a sense of exotic desert that only exists in the desert, the sun rises slowly on the sand dunes, the light and dark opposing sky and the shadow part of the sand dunes, like an oil painting in front of Tan Qiusheng's eyes, let her stand in place for a long time to enjoy the beauty of nature.

The movement of the planet should not stop for someone to stand, the sun hung in the sky, emitting a dazzling light, so that Tan Qiusheng, who was standing, subconsciously covered the front of his eyes with a mechanical arm, and the sun's rays were blocked.

Looking at the arm, and looking at the halo on the edge of the arm, so the arm was moved a little, and the sunlight could shine into the eyes again, and the arm moved back, and the sunlight disappeared into the eyes. . . I think I've found the answer.

Life is inseparable from the sun, if the solar eclipse phenomenon envelops the planet for a long time, then the planet will lack the heat obtained from the sun every second, equivalent to 20 million tons of bituminous coal, the planet without enough heat, will fall into the cold, or not long, the temperature of the whole planet will be reduced to about minus 200 °C, in the face of such low temperature, plants can not carry out photosynthesis, have died, and the creatures that have lost food will all be extinct.

The inner core of the planet should also be heated by neutrinos that lack the sun, and slowly cool, the magma solidifies, and the planetary blocks are no longer displaced, and the planet is geologically stable. It is conducive to the development of core mineral resources in the future.

This program is named: Solar Eclipse

Its principle is very simple, that is, to use something to shade the sun's sunlight on the planet, similar to the behavior of celestial bodies like a total lunar eclipse, but this time it is artificially controlled, Tan Qiusheng only needs to launch a carrier rocket a million times, and send 1 billion tons of material to it, millions of satellites, their structure is much simpler, and they do not need too complex structures and use too cherished materials.

Only these satellites can be combined into a super giant net, and the net is covered with a layer of opaque film, the hard index of this film is resistant to high temperature of about 300 °C, can withstand low temperature of minus 240 °C, and can refract light The basic requirements, its overall image is similar to a parasol, with a slope panel can more effectively refract light, with a total area of 10 million square kilometers of huge parasols.

Even if this is the case, it is only equivalent to 10% of the planet's area, and in order to completely block the sun, it needs to be placed somewhere between the sun and the planet.

And then according to the speed and trajectory of the planet, to adjust its speed and trajectory around the sun, that is, to be a competent parasol in front of the planet, to completely cover him with the sun.

The huge parasol, as well as the test of huge thrust, the light sail (solar sail) can push the spacecraft to move and accelerate, and such a super-large device like the solar eclipse plan, it needs to face the thrust can be imagined how huge it will be, so the design must consider the problem of refracted light, only the edge of the chopping light, in order to reduce the energy consumption in its own thrust reverse.

This plan will be very difficult to implement, but it has a higher probability of success and is more practical than a weather plan.

If the frozen planet cannot block the sun's rays, then the so-called frozen planet cannot succeed, and only by solving the problem at the root can the frozen planet have the possibility of success.
