Earth Era

In the distant and deep space, a huge scientific research spacecraft is slowly traveling in the direction of Phoenix Star.

This is already the fifth day since the "Dragon God" comprehensive scientific research ship returned. During this period of time, the star in Wang Hao's eyes became brighter and brighter, even slightly dazzling. If there are no accidents, in just one day, the Dragon God spacecraft will enter the stellar circle and completely leave the Bread Nebula full of deadly radiation.

The voice of the staff of the biochemical laboratory base came from the intercom: "Wang Hao, we have completed the preliminary analysis of the data you obtained. Through these analyses, we have basically confirmed your previous guesses. Joint Research Team Several extremely valuable new research directions have also been discovered. According to the joint meeting of scientists, although we are still far away from solving atypical gene mutation syndrome, we can find ways to truncate milder genes in a shorter period of time. The mutation is very promising for the inheritance of the next generation.”

Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He knows what this means. Not to mention anything else, at least, the process of becoming idiots for future generations of mankind will most likely be cut off, and my efforts will finally be rewarded.

Medical experts are still unable to reverse this genetic mutation, but the degree of mutation of people living in the stellar circle is extremely low. Most of them will not even get sick in their lifetimes and will not be affected in any way by genetic mutations. , it will only have an impact on the next generation. If blocking drugs are developed, it means that the genetic mutation will completely lose its threat to humans.

At least, we can continue to stay in the Phoenix Galaxy with peace of mind and don't have to worry about any threats in the short term.

Wang Hao sat quietly in the wheelchair, raised his arms with some difficulty, then lowered his head and looked carefully. After a long time, he sighed softly.

There was almost no intact area left on the exposed forearm. There were large areas of ulcers like burns, and dark brown pus flowed out from time to time. A robot follows Wang Hao and will clean it carefully once pus leaks out.

If it weren't for the powerful nerve signal blocking drugs playing a role in the body, Wang Hao knew that his willpower might have collapsed long ago, and then, like the people on the Nimbus spacecraft, he could not wait to use any method he could think of. Take your own life.

"Wang Hao, don't worry too much. According to our analysis, the results obtained from the data you obtained can also have a certain delaying effect on the genetic mutation syndrome that has developed to the second or even third stage. Your disease will be affected. There is hope for control and even complete healing. You are the hero of all mankind, we will submit a special report to the head of state, and you will receive the most top-notch treatment at any cost..."

"ok, I know, thank you."

Wang Hao slightly said these words hoarsely, and then cut off the call.

With a finger lightly clicking on the operating panel on the armrest of the wheelchair, the smart wheelchair took Wang Hao to the restaurant. The kitchen robot has prepared dinner, and the living assistance robot delivers the food to Wang Hao's mouth with the gentlest movements. After eating, the health care robot injected milligrams of medicine into Wang Hao's muscles and blood vessels. Afterwards, under Wang Hao's instructions, the work assistance robot once again collected relevant specimens and operated the instrument for analysis.

Before departure, the mission preparation team had already considered the problem that Wang Hao was ill and could not walk on his own, could not operate equipment, or even speak. Therefore, the Dragon God spacecraft was equipped with a complete life assistance system. Even if Wang Hao completely loses his ability to take care of himself, he can still complete a series of tasks with the assistance of machines. Now, these preparations are finally taking effect.

Now Wang Hao has completely lost the ability to walk, and can even barely stand on his own. Without these auxiliary facilities, Wang Hao would have starved to death here.

Wang Hao knew that the best outcome for his future life would be to remain in a wheelchair and rely on various assistive robots to spend the rest of his life. Even the most optimistic medical experts only dare to say that their illness can be controlled and will not worsen. As for a cure, they are just deceiving themselves and others.

His life has been completely destroyed by himself. Everything I had in the past was ruined after that one choice. Wang Hao vaguely regretted his decision, but Wang Hao knew that if he had to choose again, he would definitely do it again.

"But will I really have to spend my future life in a wheelchair, in a hospital ward, in a hospital full of the smell of disinfectant? I haven't even had time to enjoy life, I haven't even been in love once, and I haven't even had time to enjoy life. There are so many things that haven’t been done.”

Muddy tears flowed from Wang Hao's eyes, and the living assistance robot immediately wiped them away thoughtfully.

A somewhat crazy idea emerged from Wang Hao's mind uncontrollably, and then began to grow wildly like grass after a spring rain.

"Instead of spending the rest of my life in pain and torture, it's better to die now. Once it's over, everything is in vain. This is the ending that suits me best."

Wang Hao knows that as a hero, once he returns to the Phoenix Galaxy and human society, he will definitely receive the most comprehensive and considerate care. By that time, it will be completely impossible for him to commit suicide. No one would allow a hero to end his life in such a tragic way. If you want to die, now is your last chance. Because in more than twenty hours, the spaceship that came to greet him will arrive to meet him.

It's time to go to bed. But Wang Hao did not go to rest, but drove the smart wheelchair to the porthole again. Looking at the shining star in front of him, Wang Hao once again fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the No. 108 Space Weather Observatory is in orbit recently.

Real-time monitoring of the movement of the Phoenix star, prediction of possible changes in the Phoenix star in the future, and research and establishment of a Phoenix star activity model are more than thirty space weather observation stations scattered in recent orbits, as well as people who live and work in One of the main responsibilities of hundreds of stellar physicists. The scientists at the No. 108 Space Weather Observatory first came up with the conclusion that the Phoenix star was aging rapidly and might undergo a supernova explosion in a short period of time.

The No. 108 Space Weather Observatory is responsible for monitoring the development and evolution of more than 36,000 star spots in the region, as well as changes in the Phoenix atmosphere, magnetism and luminosity, coronal mass ejections, stellar wind intensity, etc. The stars are changing every day, and people are always busy at work.

Normally, people have long been accustomed to this fast-paced life. After all, certain changes will only appear on the star for a very short time, and work requires people to capture it and study it as quickly as possible. In people's minds, Phoenix has never been a peaceful planet. There is always a lot of work to be done no matter what day it is.

In the midst of the usual busy schedule, a subtle change in the atmosphere of the Phoenix star caught the attention of a researcher.

"The evolution process of TLE6805 sunspot seems a bit unusual." The data presented in front of him made him frown slightly, and then he casually adjusted the observation angle of a multi-channel observer to focus it on this target.

A series of data is generated immediately. He analyzed it carefully for a moment, then turned around and retrieved some other information about the temperature changes, convection intensity, and solar wind change model of the Phoenix star's atmosphere in the area at this moment. After a series of complex calculations, he suddenly stood up with a look of disbelief on his face.

"We are in trouble, we are in trouble..."

He muttered to himself, then ran to the stationmaster's duty room as quickly as possible and pressed the huge alarm button.

The piercing alarm sounded throughout the observation station, and just five minutes later, all the staff gathered in the conference room.

"TLE6805's sunspot is expanding rapidly. According to the analysis of existing data, it is very likely that within the next ten hours, through a series of interactions with the Phoenix star's magnetic field, atmosphere, etc., it will finally detonate an S-level explosion. Super flare.”

"S-class flare? How is it possible? It only exists in theory and has never been observed in reality! Even if Phoenix is ​​an aging and unstable star that may undergo a supernova explosion in the near future, it is impossible An S-class flare occurred!"

Flares are divided into several levels according to their intensity: A.B.C.M.X.Z. The highest intensity flares observed from the Sun are approximately X-40, and Z-class outbursts have never been observed. Even if humans enter the space age and explore countless stars, they have rarely observed Z-level explosions, let alone S-level explosions that are more powerful than Z-level explosions.

The staff member smiled bitterly and presented a series of data in front of people.

"If our theoretical model is correct, then an unimaginable S-class explosion is almost inevitable. It is very likely that some runaway fusion reactions occurred inside the Phoenix star, which gradually affected its surface, and ultimately led to this Event. According to model estimates, unimaginably powerful stellar winds accompanied by extremely strong gamma ray bursts will sweep across the entire stellar circle and even penetrate the radiation protection layers of spacecraft and space bases, eventually affecting internal instruments... We must provide early warning, otherwise, this storm may kill millions of people and cause heavy losses of trillions of human coins.”

"Phoenix Star is getting more and more violent and unstable. I don't know how long we can stay in this Phoenix Galaxy..."
