[One evening in the 5th year of the Crisis Era, when the supernova explosion beam arrived, the solar system]

Mars –

The night sky was still as cold as ever, and the sun's faint light shone on the newly built houses, and the "forerunners" numbering about a few hundred people were surveying the situation on Mars. The Forerunners were the first humans to arrive on Mars, and their mission was to investigate the living environment of Mars and make plans to transform it so that it could become a human habitation.

Orange clouds shrouded the Precursor's base, and winds with grains of sand swept across the ground, striking the camp from time to time. The camp consisted of a few tents made of cloth and only a few hard houses made of iron. Mars is not prosperous now, and when almost all earthlings move to Mars, it is the tall buildings on Mars that will rise from the ground. There is a good building material on the ground on Mars, hematite, which is actually iron oxide. In the future, the houses may be all red.

The camp was an inflatable tent, standing tall in the wind with its face puffed out, and the forerunners lived inside. There was a slender iron rod next to it, and above the iron rod was something like a square box, standing outside weather-beaten. It is the camp's wireless power field generator, which uses magnetic resonance to transmit electrical charge in the air between the wireless power supply and the device, so that a place is created around the charger. In this place, the device can receive an electric charge and can be used. The wedges of the tent were buried deep so that the tent would not be blown away.

There were two small black dots on the hill not far away, one of which pushed the other up, and the latter sat directly on the cliff above. Facing the last rays of the sun, looking at the mountain, although the mountain is very steep, the two of them do not have to work, which is why the gravity of Mars is small. Climbing a mountain with only 0.1G of gravity is a romantic experience. It was their first time climbing a Martian mountain, and it was more novel and romantic than any other trip.

Borui said with a smile: "The scenery is undoubtedly the best here. ”

"It's a pity that it's far away from the camp, it can't receive electricity, and the smart bracelet is useless." Julian sat on the top of the cliff, her smile shining through the visor of her spacesuit, soft blonde hair caressing her cheeks and puncturing her dimples.

"Look how tall we are." Borui pulled Julian and pointed with his other hand to the ant-sized camp at the bottom of the mountain.

"That's the place that's high!" Julian said innocently, pointing to the brightest star in the sky. Even though it was through the orange-red clouds, the star still shined brightly.

"You're so naïve, huh...... Wait......" said Borui, as if he saw something wrong, because he was a man of astrology, and then whispered to himself, "how can it be so bright and flickering so violently......"

Against the other stars, that star is the brightest, glowing orange-yellow.

"Something big must have happened there...... Oh, isn't that Orion, it feels like ......" Bowry said contemplatively, and Julian patted Bowry, "What are you muttering?" Then Julian felt the world spinning, and the orange-yellow star was fading away, and then he saw that the top of the mountain was slowly fading away. Yes!!! Wide...... We're falling......" Julian let out a feminine scream, very piercing.

At this time, Borui was also falling with her, just in mid-air, getting closer and closer to the ground. Yes, we're whereabouts, Borui thought. Suddenly, Borui hugged Julian tightly, and if it weren't for the hood of the spacesuit, the two would have kissed each other by inertia. This scene is similar to when Liu Shaoming hugged Lin Xi a few months ago. Suddenly, a gas erupted from behind Borui, forming a column of air behind him. He turned on the thrusters on his spacesuit, slowing his descent.

Everything is getting normal.

In the middle of the night, Borui's smart bracelet also responded, and an information window popped up——

【Power supply range has been entered】

The window lasted for a second, then disappeared, and the bracelet went into standby again. The appearance of the window means that they are back at base.

After returning to the base, Borui began to wonder again, "What is that?" What happened...... Oh! Oh...... Oh, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse collapsed and exploded. The only thing that is most unstable in Orion must be ......"

"Stop talking to yourself, think about planning." A voice was heard.

……

Earth –

A safe area on the ground. In the safety zone, the nano pollution protection wall quietly resists pollutants and guards the safety zone. Fences have been erected everywhere under the protective wall, and there is a sign on it that reads, "Pollution is dangerous, do not cross." There is a stark difference between the inside and the outside, the soil inside is brown, and the ground outside is black, and the color is clearly visible to the naked eye. The strong contrast in color makes it clear that it is the boundary of the ground safety zone.

In one corner of the reserve, there are several antennas, that is, telescopes, an observatory. Only a few telescopes sat there, and the control room was missing next to it. At this time, it is possible that the telescope has detected the radiation of the explosion of the dark star.

The owner of the telescope is more than a few hundred meters underground. At this time, a neutrino signal passes through the surface of the earth and ends at an observatory in the dungeon.

"Orion?! Betelgeuse!! One man exclaimed, covering his mouth that had been open in fright.

"It collapsed and exploded?"

"It's okay, the main direction of its radiation is not Earth, and it won't hurt us."

"We've seen another supernova explosion!!" One laughed and said, "I've been wondering when Betelgeuse will explode, and I thought it would be 100,000 years later, but — I can actually see him in my lifetime." ”

“Wow! Sobeautiful.” A man shouted.

On the information window, there is a small dot that glows dimly, and then it is wrapped in a large cloud of gas, colorful, like a blooming flower. The flower of death of the stars.

"In the future, this will be a beautiful nebula." Another man sighed.

"Don't forget, this was more than 600 years ago. Scold...... At that time, it was still in ancient times, and they didn't have the luck to watch the cosmic fireworks this time. ”
