Chapter Eighty-Five: Spring Returns to the Earth

Three days after the sun returned to its normal temperature and speed of light, a solar storm so large that it is almost impossible to describe in words reached Earth. Once again, the aurora appears at the Earth's north and south poles, obscuring almost the entire sky.

Because a strong solar storm was expected to hit for a long time, the human beings on Earth have long been prepared for solar storms. On the earth, all electronic instruments that can be shut down have been shut down, the power grid network has been put in safe mode, satellites have been temporarily shut down and gone to sleep, and almost all household appliances, computers, mobile phones and other equipment have also been shut down.

The dozen or so astronauts working at Skylab have returned to Earth, and Skylab has also gone into safe mode, shutting down most of its instruments, leaving only the most heavily protected core instruments running at minimum power.

The solar storm lasted for three days before it weakened to a point where it was barely acceptable to humans. As a result, human civilization spent three days without electricity, no network, and no electronic devices of all kinds.

Humanity has resorted to almost every method at its disposal to reduce the damage that a strong solar storm can inflict on itself. But this time the solar storm was too strong. According to later statistics, a total of more than 30 satellites were destroyed by the solar storm, and a large number of power grid equipment, communication equipment, and various electronic equipment were destroyed. Skylab was also badly damaged by the solar storm, but the Crimson Heart spacecraft, which had been hiding behind Mercury, was not affected in the slightest. After the intensity of the solar storm was reduced to an acceptable range, it was the Crimson Heart spacecraft that first brought the latest information about the sun to human civilization. Because all the other solar observation satellites launched by humans have been destroyed.

The data brought back by the Crimson Heart spacecraft is further evidence of the effectiveness of the comet impact program. Captain Laguel led the astronauts to measure all aspects of the Sun in detail, and concluded that everything was normal except for the fact that the Sun was still a little intense at the moment due to the comet impact.

Getting this result is something that people would expect. Because people know. The sun is normal, but it was covered by an antifusion layer in the past.

During these six days, the Earth's temperature has risen significantly. The first change is in the equatorial ocean region. The tough ice cap that covered the ocean began to melt rapidly under the intense sunlight. In many places, the ice sheets have completely disappeared, and the waves have reappeared in the world.

With the disappearance of the ice sheet, there are countless heroic stories and traces that have happened on this ice sheet in the past period. For example, the thick ruts on the ice sheet, such as the supply depots built on the ice sheet, the supply transfer station and other buildings, such as some temporary shelters, also sank into the sea. The ocean buries all of this with its big heart, making it a mere speck of time that can only be buried in the depths of people's memories.

The frozen river is also beginning to show signs of melting. When in the wild, one will even stumble upon some babbling streams. Traces of certain wildlife activities have even been found.

The sudden rise in the sun's temperature also had some bad effects. One of the most obvious effects is the appearance of hurricanes. In just six days after the sun returned to normal, there were more than 100 gale winds of magnitude 12 or higher across the earth. But there is a bright side to these hurricanes. The presence of wind means that the air is moving, and the movement of air means that the air temperature in the same latitude is moving towards the same level. As long as the entire planet is heated up and returns to normal levels, these frequent hurricanes will naturally disappear.

The government is already working on an emergency resettlement plan. Discuss how to use the ruins of the past to rebuild the city and put human civilization back on track. It would be a massive project on the scale of the Great Migration at the dawn of the solar crisis, but the mood of the people who made it now is very different from what it was in the past.

During the Great Migration, the mood of the people who made the plans was heavy. Because they don't know when the catastrophe will pass, and they don't know whether this migration will be a migration to new life or a migration to perdition. At that time, time was too urgent, in order to escape the cold, in order to send a large number of humans and materials to Equator City as soon as possible. I don't know how many lives have been lost because of this. Now, the people who make the plans are in a happy mood and hopeful. Because they know. After the evacuation of the overpopulous population from Equateur City, human civilization will be reborn.

Everything is so beautiful.

But the current situation makes Zhao Huasheng's situation very embarrassing. Although Zhao Huasheng's eyes are still calm, although Zhao Huasheng is still silent and alone.

After the sun returned to its normal temperature, Zhao Huasheng could feel those strange gazes enveloping him at any time. Some time ago, the ubiquitous and warm atmosphere that I felt disappeared without a trace. Zhao Huasheng walked on the road. There are no more kind and kind old people to greet him, and no cute children to call him uncle. There is no young and beautiful young opposite sex to talk to him. Even the smiles of strangers disappeared from Zhao Huasheng's world.

So Zhao Huasheng knew something.

"Oh, sure enough. In fact, everyone knew my identity for a long time, and the disguise tools that Meng Zhuo gave me were just trying to find a reason why "everyone here doesn't know me"? Is it true that all of this is a world specially arranged for me? Some time ago, those beautiful people of the opposite sex who were gentle and considerate to me, strangers who were kind to me and full of kindness to me...... Are they really just acting? It seems that the human government has really taken great pains to get the solution to the solar crisis out of my mouth. Zhao Huasheng thought silently, "Now that the solar crisis has been solved, I have no use value, so ...... Can't this play go on? ”

But Zhao Huasheng didn't care about these things. In Zhao Huasheng's view, the false but beautiful world is far less comfortable and comfortable than the cruel but real world. Zhao Huasheng just raised the corners of his mouth as if he was self-deprecating, and after showing a slightly stiff smile into the air, he left all this behind.

Zhao Huasheng seems to have become a forgotten character in human civilization. No, it doesn't count as forgetting. On the Internet, or in the media, Zhao Huasheng's name will still be mentioned, but Zhao Huasheng's name is generally associated with Li Qi's name, and Li Qi's name is usually associated with "mad scientist", "sinner", "human shame" and other bad words.

In this regard, Zhao Huasheng did not react at all. No matter what happens in the outside world, it seems that Zhao Huasheng has never changed. When the solar crisis was not over, Zhao Huasheng was indifferent, and after the solar crisis ended, Zhao Huasheng was still indifferent.

People still clearly remember the bold words that Zhao Huasheng said at the beginning, and remember what Zhao Huasheng said, "The mistakes made by Li Qi will be borne by me." At this moment, the solar crisis is ultimately being solved by another unrelated person. This will make people's attitude towards Zhao Huasheng very subtle. At the same time, Zhao Huasheng also knew that after the plasma life form came to his side, the matter of his negotiation with the head of the government of human civilization was not leaked. Otherwise, human society's evaluation of itself will no longer be neutral and upward, but will fall to the bottom.

If people knew that Zhao Huasheng had used the solution of the solar crisis as a bargaining chip to blackmail human civilization...... Zhao Huasheng's evaluation must be very bad. Even those who originally supported Zhao Huasheng will change their views on Zhao Huasheng and turn from support to disgust.

But...... What does it matter? Zhao Huasheng doesn't care about all this, Zhao Huasheng is still Zhao Huasheng, calm and indifferent, taciturn, and a loner Zhao Huasheng.

Zhao Huasheng calmly endured all this. No matter what happens in the outside world, Zhao Huasheng's heart will not fluctuate.

After buying enough food to support himself for two days, Zhao Huasheng turned a blind eye to the strange gaze of the food store owner and turned around and walked towards his home.

When he returned home and pushed the door open, Zhao Huasheng casually put down the food in his hand, and then turned on the TV.

Today there will be a press conference convened by Frank, at which he will announce to all mankind the results of the implementation of the comet impact plan, answer some questions that are of great concern to the public, and also announce on behalf of the government some follow-up resettlement plans related to the development of the entire human civilization.

After the sun returned to normal luminosity and temperature, Frank had an almost supreme reputation in human society. In recent times, Frank's name has been associated with words like "savior" and "hero". Almost everyone is singing Frank's name, and everyone is praising Frank's greatness and wisdom. It was even suggested that a statue of Frank should be erected in the central square of Equatorial City, so that Frank could be worshiped by the populace at any time. What is even more surprising is that the human government passed this proposal in the shortest possible time. Zhao Huasheng also saw from the TV report that the construction of the statue had begun yesterday. Zhao Huasheng also saw the renderings of the statue after it was built.

It was a bronze statue that was more than 30 meters tall and weighed several thousand tons. On top of the statue, Frank's handsome and charming face has a deep smile, quietly staring into the distance. (To be continued)
