Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 274 World Water Tower

After Zhao Yao reconfirmed the altimeter value and the simulation screen of the terrain radar, he pressed the launch button of the infrared decoy bomb. A bright light belt like a pearl necklace was pulled out from under the belly of the aircraft, and the shining white light instantly illuminated the fighter's body.

The surroundings were illuminated like daylight.

I saw black clouds like a huge cover pressing down on the top of my head, and the surrounding peaks were bright and dark in the swaying light. The ground covered by the blizzard was actually right under the wing, and the plane seemed to be flying through heavy snow.

It's like flying in a flat box.

Before he could see clearly whether the ground was actually an ice field filled with frozen snow, the light from the infrared decoy bomb had faded.

Zhao Yao fired another set of infrared decoy bombs, and the illusory world became bright again. He looked down with wide eyes. The vast white ice sheet was indeed right under him, and the terrain radar also confirmed what he saw.

However, the surrounding snow-capped peaks and the altimeter reading of more than 6,000 meters told him that such an ice field was impossible to appear at this height.

The light of the decoy bomb dissipated again, and the world returned to darkness again. Zhao Yao increased the throttle, pressed the stick to the left, and then pulled up the nose of the plane. The plane circled at a large slope and completed a 180-degree turn. Then the plane began to accelerate violently.

, after flying over the pass that had just entered the ice field, Zhao Yao jerked the control stick, and the plane penetrated the clouds at a steep slope like a rocket taking off.

The alarm for inhaled foreign objects in the engine sounded as expected. Zhao Yao took a deep breath, then turned off the engine and reduced the climbing slope. The aircraft continued to climb in the thick clouds relying on the accumulated kinetic energy. The surroundings were dark, and the light from the instrument illuminated

The beads of sweat on his forehead shone.

"Stall warning! Please press the lever immediately!"

At the same time as the AI ​​​​alarm sounded, the plane rushed out of the thick clouds with flying fog like a carp jumping out of the water. Above the clouds covering the entire sky, there was a bright moon and bright stars.

At the same time, the communication indicator light turns green.

"Base! Base! I am Saker! Confirm heavy snowfall on the western plateau! The height of the ice and snow layer is 6100 meters!"

At the end of the brief report, the plane also lost its last kinetic energy. The left wing began to sink, and the plane spun and fell into the churning sea of ​​clouds.

"Received from the base! Zhao Yao, how are you doing? Can you return home?" The commander grabbed the intercom and called several times, but all he got was the noise of electricity.

The commander slowly put down the intercom and turned to look at Xia Lan. She was calculating quickly on the paper. Everyone was quietly waiting for the results of the calculation, and there was only the sound of writing in the tower.

When the heartbeat-like writing sound stopped, Xia Lan raised her head and said:

"The average altitude of the Western Plateau is about 3,000 meters. According to the thickness of the glaciers reported just now by Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Yao, the total amount of glaciers on the entire Western Plateau is basically consistent with the mass of the missing star ring.

This also explains why there are frequent earthquakes in Sichuan, and why the rivers originating from the plateau rise in water during this season. They use 1/3 of the ocean's water to turn the entire western plateau into a real world water tower!"

Xia Lan's voice was full of panic, and the hand holding the paper was shaking.

"Now the surviving population in the country is basically concentrated in the Sichuan Basin, and we are at the foot of the Western Plateau! To the south of the plateau is the Ganges Plain in South Asia, which is also the place with the highest population density in the world. They deliberately drove us away

As long as the snow on the western plateau melts, everything will be over." The staff officer's words were full of despair and powerlessness.

The commander thought for a while and said doubtfully:

"No, it's not that simple. It's winter now, and the temperature on the plateau is already very cold. If we wait for the ice and snow to melt naturally, it will be at least until next summer. With our current level of organization, we are fully capable of bringing together the entire population in the basin.

Move out before the ice water turns the basin into a vast ocean, the enemy will not give us such a chance!"

The staff officer said anxiously:

"Aren't the cities in the north destroyed because of the boiling of pressurized water? They have the ability to boil the pressurized water. Isn't it easy to quickly melt the glaciers?"

Xia Lan put down the pen in her hand and shook her head slightly:

"The reason why the pressured water in Jinghua City boils is that some of their single-celled organisms can decompose the elemental sodium in the ore and seal it in the cell body, and then release it when a large amount of it accumulates in the pressured water below the city.

We have captured this kind of cell, which has a strong ability to move in liquid water. But now that the entire western plateau is a frozen world, this method does not work at all. Moreover, in the deep-frozen ice, sodium elements are released and in

Release in water does not achieve the same effect at all.”

The staff officer pointed to the west in the darkness and sobbed desperately:

"Then what do they want to do by building a glacier more than 3,000 meters thick on the western plateau?"

Just as everyone was looking helplessly at the dark sky outside the tower, the intercom rang. After the communications soldier picked up the receiver and listened for a while, he handed the receiver to Xia Lan:

"This is an emergency communication from the Guanxian Observatory, calling for Dr. Xia Lan."

Xia Lan strode forward:

"I'm Xia Lan!"

"Sister, it's me, Wei Xu. Two hours ago, we observed that the star ring has changed. At that time, we could only confirm that the change had occurred for some time, but we couldn't see the pattern of its change. There was no first time

Reporting to you, now we probably know what they want to do!"

"Wait a moment Wei Xu, I'll get a pen and paper." As Xia Lan spoke, the soldier handed over the paper and pen. After she sat down, she said:

"Wei Xu, tell me."

"Senior sister, you know that the current star ring no longer has the previous disk structure, and only a few thin ribbon-like lines remain."

"I know that the mass of the remaining ring material is only 5% of the total mass." Xia Lan said while writing.

"They started to move to high orbits at the same time two hours ago. Those thread-like star rings began to gather at a point in the geostationary orbit. At first, I thought they would combine into a big ice block there. Well,

Like the kind that crashes into the northwest desert.

But I calculated the mass, and if they really plan to assemble the remaining rings into a giant ice mass and then crash into the ball, then the earth will return to the ecological environment of the Hadean Era, which is not consistent with their occupation.

We continued to observe the intention to colonize the earth for a while.

When I saw countless ribbon-like ring materials spinning in the geostationary orbit like marshmallows and starting to gather into a disk, I was even more sure that they were not trying to create big ice cubes.

We carefully observed the ice disk that was gradually forming, and found that it had a very regular concentric circle structure. Although I can't explain what they want to do, but judging from the shape of the ice disk, I have a bold idea.

I guess they may want to build a giant Fresnel lens in low-Earth orbit!"

"Fresnel lens!" Xia Lan shouted, and everyone was shocked.

"Sister, are you okay?" Wei Xu asked anxiously.

Xia Lan quickly adjusted her mood:

"Where is the gathering point of the star ring in the geostationary orbit now?"

"It should be 36,000 kilometers above about 90 degrees east longitude."

Xia Lan's face gradually became gloomy. She forced herself to calm down and asked again:

"Can you estimate the rate at which they make the lenses and their final size?"

"Based on their current rate of manufacturing lenses, I made a simple estimate. They will consume all the ring material in low-Earth orbit within a week, and the final diameter of the lens will exceed 1,000 kilometers!"

Move your fingers and cast your precious gold and silver votes. Thank you!
