Earth Era

The fragment of Comet Arthur, codenamed A, has a mass of about 1.7 billion tons. Among the fifteen fragments in total, the mass of Arthur A is relatively small.

But the figure of 1.7 billion tons is its mass when it was near the orbit of Jupiter. During the long-distance journey to the sun, because of the solar radiation and the irradiation of the solar reflector, the gas on it is violently erupted all the time. When it reaches the vicinity of the sun, its mass has been reduced to less than 1.6 billion tons. A total of 100 million tons of material was ejected by it.

But this number is still not the mass number it will eventually hit the sun. The sun also has its own atmosphere, just like meteors will lose their mass due to violent friction in the earth's atmosphere, comet nuclei fragments will also lose mass when passing through the sun's atmosphere. Because of the extreme high temperature and the imbalance of internal and external pressure, while these fragments lose a lot of mass, there is a high probability that they will explode into smaller fragments again.

It's not a whole cannonball, it's a shotgun shot toward the sun.

At this moment, everyone is quietly waiting for the final result, and everyone is waiting for the final judgment of fate.

The live TV screen has been switched to the ground control base. Frank's tall figure is in the center of the screen, and next to him is the researcher's door that has stopped working in front of the computer.

Now apart from monitoring, there is nothing else to do. The monitoring items can be completed automatically by the instrument without manual intervention. So everyone was idle, but their spirits were always tense.

Everyone was staring at the huge screen on the wall of the ground control base. On the screen is the figure of the sun, and next to it is a series of data that are constantly changing slightly. These data are describing the sun at this moment.

The huge dark red sun image covered everything in the control base with a layer of dim red light, as if the real sun's rays were shining on people at this moment.

But at this moment, I am afraid that no one is really exposed to the sun. Before the final moment of the comet impact plan comes, the human government has urgently led the construction of many shelters that can isolate radiation in Equator City and City of Life, and a large number of humans have been concentrated in the shelters. Others who cannot accommodate in the shelter will also receive free radiation protection materials distributed by the government to arm their houses to prevent possible high-energy gamma rays, X-rays and ultraviolet radiation from causing harm to the human body.

It was quiet in the control base, hundreds of people gathered here. But no one spoke, no one made noise. Even breathing is light. The atmosphere here is dignified and depressing.

"There is still half a minute left, and the error range is plus or minus fifteen seconds." Frank said, "We can see the change of the sun in a minimum of fifteen seconds and a maximum of forty-five seconds."

As Frank said, taking this moment as the timing base, thirty-eight seconds later.

The string of numbers describing the state of the sun in the lower right corner of the large screen in the control base suddenly began to change crazily. before. Although they are also changing all the time, the range of change has never exceeded one-thousandth. And at this moment, in just half a second, they suddenly skyrocketed by ten percent!

And the moment after the series of numbers began to change, the huge image of the sun on the big screen also began to change instantly. Somewhere a little to the upper right of the sun, there first appeared an extremely bright, extremely blinding white spot, the next moment. The slap in the face instantly expanded, covering at least one-fifth of the entire sun portrait in a very short period of time.

Within this one-fifth range, the color of the sun portrait instantly changed from dark red to blazing white. The strong light made Frank couldn't help squinting his eyes. The huge ground control base is also brightly illuminated by the sun image on the big screen.

There were several whispers coming from all over the control room. There was still no fluctuation on Frank's face. It seemed that all of this was in his expectation. In just a few seconds after the sun changed, several different sounds entered Frank's ears: "The total intensity of solar radiation has increased by 30%!"

"The intensity of gamma rays has increased by 400 percent! Ultraviolet rays. The intensity of X-rays has increased by 16 percent! Visible light radiation has increased by 17 percent! The temperature in the impact area of ​​100,000 square kilometers is 6 million degrees Kelvin, The temperature outside the impact zone ranges from 4,500 to 10,000 degrees Kelvin!"

"The area where the reverse fusion layer is emptied is 580 billion square kilometers!"

"The possible impact of such a degree of solar variation on the earth is under evaluation!"

In front of the TV, Zhao Huasheng in the basement also saw this scene in real time. Zhao Huasheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said lightly to the air: "Look, their first step was successful."

The plasma lifeform was silent and did not respond to Zhao Huasheng's words.

"The second fragment will hit the sun in twenty minutes. The mass of the second fragment is 2.8 billion tons. It will have a greater impact on the sun than the first fragment. A total of fifteen pieces Fragments, these fifteen fragments will all collide with the sun within eight hours." Zhao Huasheng continued.

"The solar civilization will not perish because of this. What awaits the human beings on earth will be a crazy revenge from the solar civilization." The plasma life form finally responded at this time.

"Oh, maybe. Who knows." Zhao Huasheng said.

Zhao Huasheng knew that at this moment, 150 million kilometers away from him, the second huge comet fragment was crashing into the sun at high speed. Zhao Huasheng raised his head, his sight seemed to pass through the barrier of the wall, through the vast space of the universe, and came to the side of the sun and the comet fragment.

Zhao Huasheng seemed to have really seen what was happening on the comet fragments at this moment. It was a scene like the doomsday, the earth collapsed, the sky turned upside down, endless explosions, endless cold, endless heat...

Huge fragments with a mass of several billion tons were easily torn apart by the sun's strong gravitational force. During the friction with the sun's atmosphere, countless substances were vaporized and disappeared, but the core substances of the fragments were still advancing rapidly.

Ahead is a sea of ​​light and heat. This fragment came to this world with incomparable power and hit the sun.

"The second impact has already occurred, and we will get relevant impact data within one minute. The time error is plus or minus ten seconds." Frank said.

This is an irresistible force of heaven and earth. In the face of this force, the most powerful heroes in all human history are as insignificant as ants. Feeling the size of the comet and the majesty of the impact, any human being with self-awareness will feel his insignificance. But it is very strange that such a heroic impact came from the hands of human beings. Countless tiny individuals gather together to exert such a huge power that can almost change the world.

"This is us human beings... Our individuals are very small, but our civilization is very powerful." At this time, almost everyone had such an idea in their hearts.

The impact area of ​​Arthur B fragments is closely adjacent to Arthur A. Fifty-one seconds after Frank said the impact time, the huge image of the sun on the big screen of the control base changed again, its luminosity increased violently again, and the series of numbers describing the condition of the sun jumped rapidly again.

Once again, monitors reported changes to the Sun caused by the impact. Frank listened quietly, and then said: "The third impact will receive data thirty-seven minutes later, and the time error is plus or minus forty seconds."

I don't know if it's an illusion or what, but the people in the control base suddenly felt that the temperature around them seemed to rise a bit, as if the sun had begun to drive away the severe cold for the earth at this moment. But people know that the earth has its own temperature maintenance system. No matter whether the temperature of the sun increases or decreases, it is impossible for the earth to change so quickly. Although they knew this, but seeing the brighter sun on the big screen, people still felt that the weather seemed to be getting warmer.

Changes in the sun's temperature have a very intuitive impact on the earth's atmosphere. Because of the difference in temperature, there will be a very strong pressure difference in the atmosphere, and the pressure difference means air flow, which means hurricanes and storms.

Even if the comet impact plan is finally successful and the temperature of the sun returns to normal, I am afraid that the earth will be plagued by storms for a long time. But people at the moment can't care about those things anymore. So what if the Earth could get warmer again, even with a little more storms?

During the long wait, fragments of Comet Arthur, numbered C, also hit the sun. As a result, as people expected, the reverse fusion layer of more than 700 billion square kilometers was emptied, and the brightness and temperature of the sun increased again.

And the solar outbursts brought about by these three impacts have also accumulated to a terrifying level. Only up to this moment, the earth's ozone layer has been severely damaged due to too strong gamma ray bursts. But just as people don't worry about storms, the depletion of the ozone layer is also not taken seriously. Before the comet impact plan was implemented, the scientific research department had predicted this result. A plan to repair the ozone layer has been drawn up, and as soon as the impact plan is over, the ozone layer repair plan will begin immediately.

The big deal is to be careful during this time, so as not to expose yourself to radiation. People think so. (to be continued ~^~)
