Chapter 18: The Mutation of the Golden Crow Sun

The next day, in addition to the people who stayed at the temporary base, five space armored vehicles carried other people slowly drove out of the temporary base and started the expedition in different directions.

J26 base, in the command building of Commander Colonel Somla, Somla lies on a large artificial leather chair, facing the large screen in front of her, revealing a pensive look. On the big screen opposite him, the image of Wang Hengxing's green vines attacking the expedition volunteers was constantly playing.

"Knock knock—" There were a few soft knocks from outside the door.

"Come in." Somla didn't lift her eyelids and spoke, her eyes still fixed on the screen in front of her.

The door opened, and in came his adjutant, Major Edgar.

"Colonel!" After Major Edgar came in, he came to Somla's side and saluted respectfully, and then reported in a low voice: "Colonel, according to the news from the Nimi, the various expedition volunteer teams have set off today. ”

Somra nodded and said, "You ordered the Nimi to keep in close contact with Wang Hengxing, and report back as soon as there is a situation." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "Isn't there any news about the two expedition volunteers who disappeared yesterday?" ”

Edgar shook his head. Somla's face was solemn, and he muttered to himself, "I'm afraid that these two people are already more than lucky." ”

Edgar said in a deep voice, "They died for the Federation's interstellar cause, they are the heroes of the Federation!" ”

Somrah was silent. At this time, Edgar said something else, and stepped forward and said softly: "Colonel, just now the Communications Department received an encrypted message from the Federal Academy of Sciences, which said that in the near future, Academician Imidia will visit the J26 base in person to conduct scientific research. ”

Hearing this news, Somla could no longer hide the surprise on his face, turned his head suddenly, and asked in surprise: "What do you say, Academician Imidia will come to the J26 base?" Is this news true? ”

Ed nodded heavily.

Somla sat there with a solemn face for a while, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Academician Imidia came to the J26 base for inspection, which is a top priority for the J26 base, and it is also the glory of the J26 base. ”

Edgar straightened his chest and responded, "Colonel, don't worry, his subordinates will definitely complete the task!" ”

Somra waved his hand and said, "If nothing else, you can get out of the river first." ”

Edgar gave another military salute, then turned and strode out of the room, and gently closed the door before leaving.

After Edgar left, Somra lay down in a large leather chair, her eyes contemplative. Now he was thinking about how Academician Imidia could suddenly go to his remote J26 base for a scientific expedition, and as he thought, a brief resume of this distinguished member of the Federation came to his mind.

Imidia, female, Chinese New Year's Eve, graduated from the Department of Biology of Federal Interstellar University, the top institution of higher learning in the Federation, because of the three outstanding papers during the school, she entered the Federal Academy of Sciences as soon as she graduated, becoming a level 9 researcher.

After that, creative papers were published almost every year, several steps a year, from a ninth-level research institute to a first-class researcher, and then because of his creative work in biological gene technology, he was promoted to a third-level academician of the Federal Academy of Sciences five years ago, becoming the youngest academician in the history of the Federation.

Now, five years later, with her pioneering work in biological genetics, Imidia has become the top first-class academician of the Federal Academy of Sciences.

Some people have compared her to Newton and Einstein in history. Newton established Newtonian mechanics at the age of twenty-five, Einstein proposed the special theory of relativity at the age of twenty-six, and the concept of "bioenergy" proposed by Imity ten years ago when she was twenty-five years old also made her a giant in the history of science. …,

The arrival of any academician of the Federal Academy of Sciences is enough to flatter and receive this remote J26 base, let alone such a heavyweight first-class academician.

If there were no special reasons, it would be impossible for such a heavyweight first-class academician of the Federal Academy of Sciences to come to such a remote place as the J26 base.

Is it because of it?

Somra's gaze suddenly looked at the huge and terrifying image of the green vine plant on the big screen in front of him, and only the powerful biological power of this alien vine plant could attract the attention of Academician Imidia, so that he had to come here for scientific research in person.

"Dididi"

With the buzz of the communicator, the communicator in Somla's office suddenly opened, and a dignified-looking federal general with an olive branch and three star badges on his shoulders suddenly appeared on the screen of the communicator.

Seeing the people on the screen, Somra was suddenly startled in his heart, and quickly got up, stood up and saluted, and said in a serious voice: "General! Captain of the 7th Squadron of the 58th Division of the 18th Army of the Federation Starfleet, Commander of Base J26, Colonel Somra, reports to you! ”

The person who suddenly appeared on the screen of this communicator was none other than his immediate boss of Colonel Somra, Lieutenant General Douglas, commander-in-chief of the Eighteenth Army of the Federation Starfleet.

"Colonel Somla!"

Lieutenant General Douglas on the screen said in a low and calm voice: "Your base should have received the news that Academician Imidia of the Federal Academy of Sciences will arrive at your J26 base in the near future to conduct a scientific investigation. I hereby order you to go all out to do a good job in the reception of Academician Imidia and his entourage, to ensure that the scientific investigation work of Academician Imidia in the J26 base is carried out safely and smoothly, if there is any chaos in the middle, no matter who it is, I will strictly investigate and deal with it, and whoever makes a mistake will be removed from his post! ”

Colonel Somla saluted again, and said quickly and firmly: "General, please rest assured, your subordinates will resolutely follow your instructions and do their best to do a good job in the reception of Academician Imidia this time, and ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Good! If there are any problems, report them to the headquarters of the group army in a timely manner. ”

Lieutenant General Douglas then said this, ending the call, and the figure on the communicator screen disappeared.

Somra let out a sigh of relief, then pressed the intercom in his office, and gave an order to his adjutant: "Edgar, immediately notify all officers at the base and above to come to the command building for a meeting in ten minutes!" ”

After giving the order, he cleaned up and was about to go out, when he saw his door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged officer rushed into his office in a hurry.

Seeing that the person who came didn't knock on the door, he just broke in directly, Colonel Somra frowned, and his heart was very unhappy, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was the director of the interstellar exploration department independent of the base, not under his jurisdiction, and directly under the interstellar exploration department of the Federal Space Agency, he was afraid that he would scold the comer.

He sat back down in the wide leather chair behind the desk, stared at the visitor, and said slowly, "Captain Gucci, is there something wrong?" ”

The person who came was none other than the chief of the Interstellar Exploration Division stationed at J26 Base, Captain Gucci. He also seemed to be aware of his faux pas at this moment, and his expression was a little embarrassed, but the situation had changed, and he couldn't care about it, so he hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, handed over a stack of documents to the other party, and said in a hurried voice: "Colonel Somla, this is the latest round of exploration data of the Golden Crow Sun from the Star Survey Office, please take a look." According to a number of detection results from our satellite survey, all the data show that in the recent period, the activity of sunspots and flares in the Jinwu Sun is very frequent, and there is a tendency to gradually intensify, and today it has broken through the third-level warning line! ”…,

Hearing this, Somla's expression changed slightly, grabbed the observation data handed over by the other party, and after roughly browsing it, he let it go again, and asked in a deep voice to the other party: "Captain Gucci, you know, I am not an astronomer, I need your further explanation." Do you mean to say that the recent activity of the Golden Crow Sun is a bit anomalous? ”

Gooch nodded and said solemnly: "Colonel Somla, it's not a little abnormal, it's very abnormal!" ”

Somla then asked, "So have you found the reason behind this anomaly?" ”

Gooch shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Colonel, but we haven't come to a definitive conclusion about the cause of the recent anomalous changes in the Golden Crow Sun. But there is no doubt that this is a very dangerous signal, and we need to pay enough attention to it. ”

Somla waved his hand and said, "But I have a very important meeting to go now, can we talk about it later?" ”

"It's a very important matter, we have to talk about it now!" ”

Seeing the other party's serious look, Somra shrugged her shoulders, and had to press the office button again, and ordered: "Edgar, the meeting just now has been canceled, and it will be reconvened in thirty minutes." ”

After saying that, he sat back in his chair and said to Gucci, "Captain Gucci, then we'll continue talking, we have half an hour to talk about it." ”

After a pause, he continued: "As far as I know, sunspots and solar flares are a very normal solar activity, I wonder why Captain Gucci is so nervous? ”

Gucci said in a deep voice: "Colonel Somla, as you said, sunspots and solar flares are a normal type of solar activity, but they generally have periods to speak of. Sunspot eruptions occur on an annual basis, with solar flares erupting relatively frequently, small-scale flares occurring in days, and large-scale flares occurring in more than a few months. ”

"And the data we have now observed, the frequency of sunspots and flares in the Golden Crow Sun has been gradually increasing recently, and now it has reached the point of several times a day, which is by no means normal, which indicates that the Golden Crow Sun is in a dangerous state of instability."

Somra's face was slightly moved, and she asked, "So what happens next based on what you see?" ”

Gu Qi said word by word: "According to the development of this situation, there will be a total outbreak of sunspots and flares in the Golden Crow Sun next, the degree and scale will be unprecedented, and the specific intensity is still difficult to estimate!" ”
