Chapter 114: Outbreak Without Dead Ends
On this calm morning, the luminosity of the sun increased dramatically. The increase is even higher than the previous time the comet impact program was executed. To a certain extent, this also means that the changes that are happening on the sun at this moment are more intense than the eruptions caused by the impact of Comet Arthur.
So...... What's really going on above the sun? What do these events that are happening on the sun at this moment have anything to do with Zhao Huasheng and the moon base?
The people in Equatorial City looked at this scene with some confusion. The sun's luminosity did increase a lot, and even the snow that had accumulated under your feet began to show signs of melting at this moment, but ...... People weren't too excited. And there were no cheers. People just watched it all with a little blankness. Because of the Comet Arthur impact incident, people have not dared to express their emotions too early. Because...... This time the change may also be just a bamboo basket for nothing.
A few minutes after the sudden increase in sunlight, a message was sent by the government on the huge screen installed in the street, every television that could receive a signal, and every terminal communication device: "Emergency notice, emergency notice, everyone immediately go to the nearest shelter, do not linger in an open place, go to the nearest shelter immediately, emergency notice, emergency notice......"
There were even helicopter formations in the sky. These helicopters were equipped with the highest power amplification equipment, and the sound of the thunderous version of the roar was also transmitted throughout Equator City at this moment, and the message once again entered people's minds in the form of sound.
So people probably knew that something big had happened.
The people of Equatorial City have long experienced emergency drills similar to this situation, and the location of the shelters in the nearby area has long been remembered by the people. After a moment of panic, the people quickly calmed down and either entered the shelter or into the building with a special radiation protection layer. On the originally crowded streets, in addition to patrolling in radiation protective suits. Outside of the military and police who were evacuated and kept order, they quickly became empty.
At this very moment, an observer was reporting a message to the Führer at a very fast pace: "Observations through ground observation bases and space observation satellites. We confirm that just some time ago, there was a violent eruption above the sun, the mechanism of which is not yet clear, but we can be sure. The Sun's eruption was more intense than it was when Comet Arthur struck. Preliminary analysis suggests that the solar eruption is probably related to some intermechanism between the solar magnetic field and the coronal layer. The main types of bursts are electromagnetic waves and neutrinos, with neutrino telescopes observing strong streams of neutrinos, and optical and radio telescope arrays observing intense visible and gamma rays, as well as X-ray bursts. ”
The Führer replied quickly: "Assess the possible consequences of this eruption of the Sun at once." This includes the impact on the Earth's environment and the possible changes to the surface environment of the Sun. The most important ...... I need to know if the plasma life forms in the solar civilization can survive this level of solar eruption. ”
"Experts from the Ministry of Scientific Research are already working on this assessment and analysis." The observer continued, "The results will be reported soon. ”
Ten minutes later, as the observer said. Another scientist burst into the room. There was no time to worry about etiquette and the like, and the scientist quickly said: "The impact of this solar eruption on the earth's environment is mainly focused on the destruction of the ozone layer and the radiation pathogenicity of the human body. In terms of human radiation-induced pathology, gamma-ray bursts, although intense, are not of an order of magnitude compared to supernova bursts, and they are unlikely to have much impact on the Earth's ecosphere. After the solar eruption, people were evacuated to shelters in a short period of time and did not receive much radiation dose. Our preliminary assessment is that diseases caused by genetic mutations could increase by 3 to 5 percent over the next 10 to 30 years, and that the ozone layer will be severely damaged again for some time to come. Ultraviolet and X-ray rays may increase the incidence of cancer by 10 percentage points...... In general, these consequences are within our tolerance range, and it will not shake the very foundation of human civilization. ”
"As long as there is a time buffer. If the solar crisis can really be ended, the future direction of human government will be to restore the earth's environment. repair of the ozone layer and the development of specific drugs for various diseases caused by cancer and other genetic mutations. The Führer replied, "So as long as it is not acute, it is a disease that can be fatal on a large scale." How long will this solar eruption last? Does the Ministry of Research have any results on this? ”
"We don't know exactly how the solar eruption worked, but we agreed that the electromagnetic and neutrino eruptions would last a few hours. What we need to pay attention to is the possible subsequent invasion of large-scale solar wind. We believe that there is a very high probability of a solar wind eruption. In the course of this solar wind, our power grid equipment, communication equipment and other electrical equipment will be seriously damaged, but as long as we deal with it properly, we will be affected much less than the last time. ”
"That's good." The Führer breathed a sigh of relief, "What about the Crimson Heart?" What about the astronauts in Skylab? ”
"The Crimson Heart spacecraft followed your orders to hide on the far side of Mercury when Zhao Huasheng landed on the moon, and the astronauts in Skylab also returned to Earth yesterday and were properly settled." The scientist answered the Führer's question with a strange expression.
The Führer did issue an order for the Crimson Heart spacecraft to evade and the Skylab astronauts to return when Zhao Huasheng landed on the moon, so the scientist would be surprised. Because these two events are so coincidental, it seems that the Führer knew early on that there would be a big explosion of the sun.
The Führer did not give an explanation for this. After listening to the scientist's report, the Führer thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Start trying to contact Zhao Huasheng." At the same time, continue to strengthen the monitoring of the sun, and I want you to analyze what is happening above the sun as quickly as possible. ”
"Okay." The scientist said yes, turned and left the room. The Führer continued to sit here, constantly giving instructions to the staff who came to report the information.
This hectic is the passage of a few hours. The scientist came to the conference room again and reported to the Führer: "We can't get in touch with Zhao Huasheng. We can know that all the instruments in the lunar base are operating normally, but Zhao Huasheng has never responded. We don't know what's going on on the moon base. As for what's really going on above the sun...... We still don't know. The only thing that is certain is that the eruption was violent and spread to the entire sun. The entire sun was affected by the eruption without any dead ends. The Ministry of Scientific Research estimates that no plasma life can survive such a strong, dead-end eruption. Because this outbreak is all-encompassing and has no dead ends, it is impossible for the plasma lifeforms to escape the effects of this outbreak no matter where they hide. This is different from a comet impact plan. If the impact of the comet impact program on the sun is a net, then this solar eruption is a cloth, and there is no missing cloth. ”
When the Führer learned the news that the solar crisis might really be ended, there was not much excitement in his heart. At this moment, the Führer's mind once again drifted to the distant moon.
Watson...... What the hell is going on with you at this moment? What about the plasma lifeform that is watching you? You...... How exactly does this work? ”
After thinking for a moment, the Führer asked again: "If we want to send astronauts to the moon to the moon base to find out the situation...... Can we do that now? ”
"No, I don't recommend it." The scientist replied, "The lunar base has the most complete radiation protection system, and it does not need to be in contact with the Earth at all times, so the lunar base will not be affected by this solar eruption." At this moment, we don't have enough spacecraft to withstand the subsequent solar storms. If we send a spacecraft to the moon right now...... It is likely that it will lose contact with Earth and be completely destroyed by subsequent solar storms. If you decide to send astronauts to the moon, I recommend that you do so after the solar storm is over. ”
"But, but Watson may be ...... now," the Führer hesitated, and finally did not say the phrase "Watson may be dangerous, and may be in need of help," but sighed, and then said, "All right." During this time, continue to closely monitor everything that happens on the sun. At the same time, try to call Zhao Huasheng again. If Watson hadn't answered...... Immediately after the solar storm, astronauts are sent to the moon. I want to know if Watson is still alive at the moment. (To be continued.) )
