Chapter 1 Introduction
The sky is full of stars, the night breeze is blowing, and every star is like a jewel, shining and shining in the night sky. The sky full of stars, they try their best to burn their energy, blending bits and pieces of light together, although not as brilliant as the sun, not as clear as the moon, but their dreamlike light also sprinkled into the world, turning the earth into a strange world, inducing people's desire to explore.
Professor Arnaud is a world-renowned astronomer who and his students make various astronomical observations at the Greenwich Observatory in the United Kingdom all year round. The team consisting of him and his students is well-known in the astronomy community. This is not only because Professor Arnaud himself is rich in learning, but also because there are many outstanding astronomers among Professor Arnold's students, among which Professor Arnold is most proud and proud is Milina, who has just won the highest award in the field of astronomy, the Copernicus Award. Melina is the youngest recipient of this award, as she is only sixteen years old.
Just now, Professor Arnold received a call from Melina, who eagerly asked him to come to his office.
Professor Arnold opened the office door and saw that Milina and two other classmates were studying something on the computer, and their faces were very solemn.
"Mailina, what are you asking me to do here so late? Is there a new discovery? Professor Arnold asked, hanging his hat in the doorway.
"Yes teacher!" Standing in front of the computer desk stood a slender girl with reddish-brown hair, a pair of square eyes on her melon seed face, and a pair of large dark blue eyes flashing smartly behind the lenses.
"Oh? Let's talk about it. I hope your discovery is worth the trip, but I came from a royal party, where I don't drink the wine, and it's a shame to miss out on the food! Professor Arnold said with a smile.
"Teacher, I feel that our sun is too quiet." Milina lifted her glasses.
"What's wrong with that?" Professor Arnold smiled, Mailina had always been so eccentric, and now she actually raised her opinion about the sun.
"Of course, you know, the solar storm cycle is 11 years, and that's what you taught us. But according to my calculations, a real solar storm has not been seen for almost twenty years! Although there have been some small solar storms in recent years, they have not been able to reach the sun's energy escape base! ”
"Look here, the corona is much hotter than it should be, and the flares and sunspots haven't yet appeared, so I suspect there's a huge solar storm brewing beneath the corona!" ”
Professor Arnold took his glasses out of his jacket pocket and scrutinized the students' research data. It took a long time for Professor Arnold to raise his head, look at Milina deeply, and say, "Dear students, is your data accurate?" ”
"Of course, this is the seventh time we've checked!" Milina stroked her long curly hair.
"If it's exactly what you say, then this solar storm is definitely a disaster!"
Melina also looked at Professor Arnold deeply, "Teacher, this is the reason why I urgently called you, because this afternoon, we found that the precursors of storms, flares and sunspots appeared rapidly on the sun. Perhaps, this solar storm is already on its way and will reach Earth at any time. ”
Another student next to him lifted his glasses and asked, "Teacher Arnold, how much trouble will this storm cause us?" ”
Professor Arnold took a deep breath and said slowly: "I don't know, but the strength of the storm is directly proportional to the temperature of the coronal layer, if the data is correct, this storm should burn all our satellites, and all the wireless and wired signals on the ground will be interrupted, and the most troublesome thing is that the long-distance transmission wires will become huge antennas, they will form currents in the storm and impact the substation, and it is likely that all power plants will be affected to a greater or lesser extent." There is a precedent for this in history, in 1989, a solar storm damaged the power supply systems of the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Jersey in the United States, causing more than $1 billion in damage! And the energy of that storm in 1989 may be less than one-thousandth of what your data suggests! ”
Melina and the other two classmates opened their mouths wide and were speechless in shock, they expected that there would be big trouble, but they didn't expect it to be so big!
One student said: "After so much time and so many years of scientific development, we humans should already have methods and measures to deal with solar storms, right?" ”
Professor Arnold nodded and said, "Yes, there must be, but there is an upper limit to what kind of precautions you have, you can let a wall block the breeze, and let a wall block the flood." ”
Milina sat down suddenly, typing randomly on the computer, "Let's quickly release this news for everyone to ......" Before the words were finished, all the electrical appliances in the room were extinguished.
Professor Arnold froze, looking through the window at the stars in the sky, "Hopefully, it's just an ordinary power outage." ”
Milina picked up the mobile phone on the table and casually dialed out, "Dudu ......".
……
At the same time, in a secret base in Central Asia, more than 30 people looked at the base that suddenly went black, and a voice said: "Hehe, the Yankees are finally going to do something to us." Another voice said, "It's their usual style to cut off our power and external signals before they act." But do the Americans also underestimate us too much, thinking that this will make us helpless? ”
"That's right! Little would they have imagined that we were using the oldest pyrotechnic communications. They can't even imagine that we don't just have one nuclear bomb in our hands, in fact, we already have 4 hydrogen * bombs and 13 nuclear bombs, haha, thanks to money, thanks to capitalism! ”
"Are we all ready to launch our nuclear bombs?" A tall figure asked.
"Of course, as long as we light the beacon fire, these hypocrites will be punished by the Lord!"
The crowd all turned to the tall back, "Chief! For the sake of jihad, let the whole world know that we will not give in!
"For the Holy War!!"
"For the Holy War!!"
"For the Holy War!!"
"For the Holy War!!"
The tall back waved his hand, "Good! Launch all the warheads! The target is an important city, the capital of several nuclear-armed countries! Tell the people below that the holy war has begun! Since this world is our enemy, let us destroy it with this world! ”
