Chapter 6: Super Geomagnetic Storm!
Four minutes ago, the underground fortress of the office of the chief executive of the eighth administrative district.
It was only five minutes before the moment when the blue star was impacted, and everyone was staring at the video wall, looking at the rings of Jupiter approaching the speed of light, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly depressing and tense.
Everything that the Blue Star Federation can do has been done, and all instructions have been communicated and executed.
At this moment, no one has reported the changes in some monitoring values on the computer, because they all feel that there is little meaning, and they are all waiting for the 96 active defense satellites of the air chain project to show their might, which is the strongest line of defense that Blue Star can rely on at present.
Suddenly!
A middle-aged man wearing thick glasses pointed to the computer in front of him and shouted in a trilling voice: "Geomagnetic disturbance!
Li Zhixuan didn't even turn his head, and the major general was unmoved, the orbits of all the stars in the entire solar system were disturbed, so what was there to be surprised by the geomagnetic disturbance on the blue star?
But the middle-aged man stood up suddenly, "Report sir, this time the geomagnetic disturbance is particularly abnormal compared with the past, but it is particularly regular, starting from 39°58'13" north latitude in the east and 119°47'34" east longitude, to the west."
Realizing that there was something important, the Major General turned his head and interrupted him, "Directly say the name of the place! Describe the main process and results in the most concise language!"
"Yes! The geomagnetic disturbance starts from the old dragon head of Longshou City in the east, to the west, then to the north, and then rapidly turns back, and continues to develop to the southwest, and the current map clearly shows that the geomagnetic disturbance has been spreading along the dragon wall! The geomagnetic index is still soaring, and there is a possibility of a super geomagnetic storm!"
This is not a joke, the underground fortress quickly discussed, and Li Zhixuan was also moved, "Project it on the big screen!"
The discussion came to an abrupt end!
Everyone's eyes were focused on the big screen, following the dazzling curve and quickly turning to the northwest, and sure enough, it was the direction of the Ten Thousand Miles Dragon Wall!
Li Zhi turned around and asked, "How long ago did it start?"
"No more than two minutes!"
"What is the most serious predictable consequence?"
"Super geomagnetic storms are bound to interfere with satellite communications and operations, and there is a high probability that the energy shield of active defense satellites will be leaked, and the anti-air guidance satellites will face imbalance and calibration failure!"
The scene suddenly felt like a frying pan!
The 96 active defense satellites of the air chain project must be linked to form a complete blue star shield, and if there is a loophole, it will mean that there will be countless black stones in Jupiter's rings pouring down!
If the black stone enters the atmosphere, it is better to emit light and heat due to friction, and the high temperature generated will cause high pressure and internal imbalance, and then explode, forming a meteorite shower. Theoretically, most of them will burn out at an altitude of 5 to 20 kilometers above the ground, and the damage to the blue star will be much less.
But if those black stones can maintain the speed of light, it will only be a blink of an eye from the atmosphere to the surface of the blue star, and the consequences will be quite serious! There are countless large stones with a diameter of hundreds of meters!
Even a meteorite, whose speed is not comparable, is enough to smash a crater with a diameter of 10 kilometers with a diameter of a few hundred meters!
If a large boulder with a diameter of several hundred meters is continuously dropped at the speed of light, it will easily penetrate the crust of the oceans and continents, causing a large number of volcanic eruptions, and the end of the world is proper!
Li Zhixuan's heart trembled, and he immediately ordered, "No matter what the Command thinks about this matter, you immediately upload your inferences to the Strategic Office and the Staff Office of the Command!"
Li Zhixuan took out his mobile phone and dialed the switchboard of the headquarters, "One hundred thousand urgent, please transfer to the special line of the commander of the space defense!"
After only three seconds, the voice of the Space Defense Commander rang out, simple and clear, "Chief Li, please speak." ”
Li Zhixuan can't care about being polite, the time is too tight!
"There is a strong geomagnetic disturbance in the dragon wall, and there is a possibility of a super geomagnetic storm, which will interfere with the communication and operation of the satellite, and there is a great chance that the energy shield of the active defense satellite will be leaked. I suggest that anti-aircraft guidance satellites should not be used as the second echelon after the energy shield, and should strike before the imbalance and calibration fail, and the large black stones in Jupiter's rings should be destroyed to the maximum extent to minimize the losses. Please consider it at the commander's discretion!"
"We are putting together and discussing this issue...... Oh, wait a minute, the conclusion is out. The electron density of the ionosphere does not increase or decrease with the continuous surge of the geomagnetic index, there is no anomaly in the circuits of the active defense satellites and the anti-space guidance satellites, and even the meteorological satellites with weak self-protection are still operating normally. Only the ground power system around the dragon wall and long-distance pipeline systems such as oil and cables were affected, and only a few areas experienced large-scale power outages. ”
"What the commander means is that the geomagnetic disturbance is deliberately confined to the perimeter of the dragon wall! How can there be such a powerful scientific and technological force? If it is the aliens lurking in the Blue Star who are reacting to the outside world, as long as a global super geomagnetic storm is directly generated, wouldn't it be easier to achieve the goal of making us powerless to fight? Why go to great lengths to pull Jupiter's rings?"
"No further conclusions have been drawn yet, hopefully it is just a false alarm. And most of the information just now was obtained through satellites, so wasn't there any interference in the communication between us? Wait a minute...... The information just received shows that this is not a simple geomagnetic disturbance, but a more powerful energy that binds the geomagnetic disturbance. It's a pity that it's only a minute or two, and we really can't do more for the survival of Blue Star, so let's calm down and wait for the first encounter between Jupiter's rings and energy shields. ”
The commander of the space defense paused slightly, and then said: "The conclusion just now has been transmitted to all units synchronously, and you should have received it from your side, and it should be displayed on your big screen at this moment, at least it can calm people's minds, and there is no need to destroy the tranquility of the last minute or two because of the interference of the super geomagnetic storm on the satellite." If this catastrophe can be avoided, you and the Seventh Administrative Region, as the location of the Dragon Wall, must do your best to study what is the powerful energy that can restrain the geomagnetic disturbance. ”
After Li Zhixuan hung up the phone, he glanced at the video wall, who said whether he could avoid this disaster? If he died with regret, he would really be blind to death. He immediately asked the Major General to arrange a special person to retrieve the surveillance footage and physical monitoring data around the dragon wall.
When Li Zhixuan was on the phone just now, the major general was always by his side, so he could hear what the commander of the space defense had said.
He proposed to Li Zhixuan: "How about randomly selecting the surveillance footage around the dragon wall and connecting it to the TV wall? Anyway, it is only a little more than a minute, and looking at the natural scenery of the dragon wall and its surroundings is much easier and easier than staring at the rings of Jupiter soaring into the TV wall, and the mood will be much better." ”
Li Zhixuan nodded.
In just 10 seconds, more than a dozen negligible images on the video wall were replaced with images of the dragon wall.
Suddenly!
The big room, which was still bustling just now, fell silent!
After three seconds, almost everyone burst out with one word: "Dragon!"
Nearly half of them stood up excitedly.
A dragon head with angry eyes and beards, a dragon body with full scales, golden flesh and blood, and a giant claw that tears the sky and the earth!
The image of the dragon can be said to be a household name, known to all ages, although these pictures are only part of it, they are still misplaced in front of everyone, and it does not prevent everyone from putting together and making up the image of the whole dragon.
Everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
"Maybe the dragon wall is really the god dragon in the mythical story, so the geomagnetic disturbance only appears in the dragon wall and its surroundings, this is to show up to save the blue star, right?"
It seems that this is the most unscientific but also the most reasonable explanation at present, otherwise there is no way to explain why the geomagnetic disturbance continues to spread in the damaged and missing places of the dragon wall, and it does not delay to lap the next section of the dragon wall. ”
"It's a pity that the clouds in the sky are thick now, otherwise we would have been able to photograph the whole dragon's majestic posture through satellites. ”
The Major General didn't expect this scene to be in the picture, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "Nonsense! Where did the dragon come from? This must be a high-tech projection! You are all scientists, how can you believe in myths and legends? Listen to my instructions, zoom in on the junction of the giant claw and the dragon's body, which is the easiest place for the projection to be exposed, locate the golden light like translucent flesh, and magnify it 10 times...... 40x ...... 100x ...... 500x ......"
The major general's voice trembled slightly, could it really be a dragon? It has been magnified to 500 times, and you can still see the rhythm of the muscles and the pulsation of the blood vessels!
Considering the need for high-altitude positioning in the military, and also for the protection of the historical treasure of the Dragon Wall, some ultra-clear surveillance cameras taken from alien technology have been specially set up, but because they are almost ten kilometers away from the Dragon Wall, no matter how high the pixels are, they are not enough to support continued magnification, and then magnify it is full of mosaics.
Of course, the major general was not reconciled, "Physical monitoring data!"
Someone immediately replied: "So far, no signs of life have been found, it should be composed of some kind of energy that we don't understand, and the fluctuation of energy is being analyzed...... No circulation, no breathing, no "
The major general waved his hand, "Okay, this is enough to prove that it is not a real dragon, but this projection is really strong! The range is still so large! Whether you see it with your own eyes, or take photos and videos, you will think that this is a real dragon that is extremely alive." ”
Li Zhixuan glanced at the time, it was only 27 seconds before the moment when the blue star was hit, and he didn't care about studying how the projection was generated, so he hurriedly ordered, "Quick! Upload synchronously!"
Time passes by second by second.
Many of the images on the TV wall are more and more clear with the incomparable rings of Jupiter at different angles!
At this moment, Jupiter's rings have been stretched to a length of three or four thousand kilometers, which is vast, and it is far from comparable to its momentum when described as overwhelming!
Next, as if to prove this, the Konglian-31 active defense satellite bore the brunt of the attack, and the energy shield was like paper paste, collapsing at the touch of a button!
Immediately after that, it is almost milliseconds, empty chain No. 33, empty chain No. 32, empty chain No. 34, empty chain No. 29, empty chain No. 30...... One after another, they turned into cold fireworks in the air!
The air chain project has a total of 96 active defense satellites, but a third of them were destroyed in an instant!
The human eye can't keep up with the speed of the black screen!
The Changwei-15 anti-aircraft guidance satellite, which had just completed calibration, was also destroyed, and the Changwei-14, Changwei-16, Changwei-13, and Changwei-17 were also destroyed......
They could only watch as groups of data floated across the big screen, instantly reflecting the lost satellites.
The man who was nervously sifting through the dragon exclaimed, "Fly! Fly! Dragon fly!"
The picture of the dragon wall in the seventh administrative region has been synchronized just now, and the main picture of the back half of the dragon's body is being uploaded synchronously, and the screen is also screened and adjusted here, and at this moment, a long strip of pictures with visible head, claws, tails and other significant features has been spliced on more than 20 screens, and the heads of the federation and the twenty-four administrative regions and elites can watch it at the same time.
I saw the golden dragon with a body of thousands of miles soaring into the air, dragging ten thousand golden lights, opening its teeth and dancing its claws, soaring upward, and soaring into the sky!
Almost at the same time, the Feiyun-22 military communications satellite was also hit by Saturn's rings, and the synchronous transmission between the Eighth Administrative Region and the Federation was interrupted!
Ground transmission equipment is automatically activated from hibernation to keep information flowing with the Federation.
Another set of data floated across the big screen.
In the airspace of the Eighth Administrative Region alone, one after another television broadcasting satellites, maritime communication satellites, tracking and data relay satellites, scientific research experiment satellites, civil communication satellites, meteorological satellites, and navigation satellites have been shattered into slag!
On the TV wall, the figure of the dragon has been lost.
