Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 271: The Missing Star Ring

Several people stopped and looked up. Under the interference of city lights, the Milky Way looked particularly dim. However, the light blue band of light that slanted across the Milky Way was hard to find. Everyone stared at it for a while before finally

Found some clues.

"Look carefully, they are still there! Sirius in the constellation Canis Major is just blocked!" Wei Xu said, pointing to the starry sky.

Everyone looked intently, and sure enough they found dim light bands as thin as gossamers traveling through the starry sky, but their scale and brightness were not the same as when they first appeared more than a month ago. If you don't look carefully, you can't detect them at all.

Of.

"How come there are only so few of them left? I remember when we first entered the Taihang Mountains, the star rings we saw were still very strong." Liu Mengzhu sighed.

"Tomorrow we go to the observatory in Guan County, and maybe we'll find out." Xia Lan said.

Early the next morning, people from the Scientific Committee sent them a car. Before getting in the car, Wei Xu circled around the car and checked:

"Look, there are a lot of water stains on the wheels and body. It's like driving on flooded roads."

Wu Fan took a look and got in the car:

"Isn't it strange? There is such a large-scale rainstorm circle outside the city. Isn't it normal for the car to have water stains? Let's go quickly!"

Wei Xu looked at the car roof that had no water stains, scratched his head, and sat in the cab. When the car passed a small river in the city, they all understood the source of the water stains on the car body.

The clear river water has already overflowed the river channel, overflowing onto the streets on both sides, and the small bridge crossing the river has not entered the water. But obviously this situation has been going on for a while, because the bridge deck has been covered with

, a temporary span bridge assembled from steel beams and steel plates. Although the bridge deck is still underwater, the height of the bridge deck is enough for vehicles to pass.

Wei Xu looked at the guide pillars sticking out of the water on both sides of the bridge and carefully drove across the steel plate bridge.

Liu Mengzhu looked at the water splashing on the wheel:

"Why is the flood in this river so big!"

"Didn't we pass through a heavy rain belt when we entered the city yesterday? Could it be floods caused by the heavy rain belt?" Wu Fan said.

Wei Xu shook his head:

"It's not like it's caused by heavy rain. Yesterday I roughly calculated that the width of the rainstorm belt is only a few kilometers. The water network in the Chengdu Plain is very developed. If the water here rises, then all the river systems will rise. That heavy rain will not be so heavy.

The amount of water, and you can see that the water is clear, the flood caused by heavy rain should be hazy with mud."

Xia Lan said:

"All the water systems in the Rongcheng Plain come from Guanxian County, and the Astronomical Observatory is also in Guanxian County. If we go there and take a look, we will know where the water comes from."

Wei Xu suddenly realized:

"Yes, more than 2,000 years ago, Li Bing and his son built the Golden Embankment in Guanxian County to distribute water from the Min River to irrigate the entire Rongcheng Plain. This is how Guanxian County got its name."

After the car got on the highway, we soon arrived at the astronomical observatory on a hill next to Guan County. Under the bright sunshine, beside the green hills where insects and birds chirped, a spherical astronomical observatory stood. The skyline in the distance

Above, the towering cloud wall draws a huge arc in the sky and extends to an invisible place on the horizon. The lightning that lights up frequently on the cloud wall is faintly visible.

Wei Xu glanced at the surrounding scenery:

"This location is very good. It is just within the clear zone and does not affect astronomical observation at all."

At this time, several young people in their twenties came out of the astronomical observation building. Their faces were a little pale and they had dark circles under their eyes. The leading girl greeted Xia Lan enthusiastically:

"You are Dr. Xia Lan! You can just call me Xiao Zhu. After Director Qian and the others leave, I will be in charge here for the time being. It's great that you are here!"

After a brief introduction to each other, Xia Lan and the others followed Xiao Zhu to the office. There were stacks of handwritten papers on each desk.

"Are these all your observation records?" Wei Xu exclaimed.

Xiao Zhu nodded and smiled:

"After the electromagnetic pulse storm more than a month ago, the computer became unusable and we could only write down the records by hand."

Xia Lan ran her hand over the stacks of manuscript papers:

"Are there any records of changes in the rings?"

Xiao Zhu took out a few stacks of manuscript paper from his desk and placed them on the desk in front of Xia Lan:

"Observing and recording changes in the rings is our most important job, and the detailed records are all here."

Xia Lan picked up a book and started reading:

"Did the star ring gradually become what it is now, or did it become what it is now in a short period of time?"

Xiao Zhu replied without hesitation:

"It started ten days ago, and it has been like this since last night. Before that, the planetary rings had not changed significantly for a long time."

Xia Lan nodded:

"So ten days ago, before the star ring started to change, how much mass was left in the star ring?"

Xiao Zhu picked up a shorthand notebook from his desk and flipped through it for a while:

"According to estimates, the mass of the star ring at that time should still be 40 when the star ring first entered low-Earth orbit. The current mass of the star ring is only about 5,"

"In other words, they threw 35% of their mass into the atmosphere in ten days?" Wei Xu exclaimed.

Xiao Zhu said with certainty:

"From the observational data, this is the case."

Wu Fan and Liu Mengzhu looked at each other:

"I remember that when they triggered a global electromagnetic pulse storm, the ring's mass was less than 10. This time, 35 of its mass disappeared at once. They must be doing something big!"

Xia Lan put down the notebook:

"Have you observed any meteor showers?"

Xiao Zhu shook his head:

"When the Western Theater Command receives information about the Star Ring from carrier pigeons from other places, they will send a copy of the information to us. Moreover, every time a group of foreign teams enter Sichuan, our colleagues on the front line will conduct random investigations. They will conduct random investigations through wired telephones.

We have recorded all the information sent back. Recently, there have been no meteor shower sighting records either inside or outside Sichuan."

Xia Lan frowned tightly:

"When the star ring lost mass before, we could all see meteor showers, and the disaster would come soon. According to the past rules, the disaster should have already happened. But this time there was neither a meteor shower sighting record nor a disaster.

Report, it’s not normal.”

"The earth is so big, could it be that they launched an attack elsewhere?" Wu Fan said.

Xia Lan shook her head:

"The attacks we have confirmed are all global. Their purpose is to exterminate human civilization. It is impossible to distinguish between countries. Moreover, the most densely populated areas in the world are our country and South Asia. If we want to distinguish attacks, they should also be attacks on us.

That’s right.”

Everyone fell into long-term thinking, especially after witnessing the devastating disasters caused by alien civilizations. They were convinced that the 35 star rings that suddenly disappeared must be brewing a greater attack.

Wei Xu picked up a stack of manuscript paper and distributed it to everyone:

"Come on, let's first review Xiao Zhu's observation records and the information brought back by teams and carrier pigeons from various places. After all, after the electromagnetic pulse storm, communications around the world were cut off, and computer analysis is useless. In this pile of raw meat,

Maybe there’s something familiar.”
