Earth Era

The speed of Comet Arthur is still increasing, and it only takes one day to cover the long distance of 28 million kilometers. So the two Lightbringers can work for another half a day. After half a day, they will be burnt under the scorching sun.

The two light messenger spacecraft launched by human civilization are naturally incapable of accelerating to a speed comparable to that of Comet Arthur by relying on their own fuel and engines alone. But it doesn't matter, just like the famous phenomenon of "two iron **** landing at the same time" in the history of the earth, when the Lightbringer I and II spacecraft have the same orbit as Comet Arthur, the sun's gravity is accelerating sub- At the same time as the Comet Ser, it will also accelerate the Lightbringer spacecraft, and the acceleration rate is the same. Therefore, the Lightbringer spacecraft can maintain a relatively static state with Comet Arthur without consuming additional fuel.

The track adjustment work has reached the most critical time. Because the distance is too far and the communication delay is too high, the ground control base had given up control of the Lightbringer spacecraft two days ago, and instead handed over the control authority to the Crimson Heart spacecraft. The five astronauts headed by Captain Lager are nervously manipulating the solar reflector for the final orbital calibration of Comet Arthur.

In order to prevent the strong thunder solar storm that may be brought by Comet Arthur after hitting the sun, the Crimson Heart spacecraft has hid behind Mercury and revolves around the sun with the same orbital period as Mercury at a distance of one million kilometers from Mercury. . In this way, it can stay hidden behind Mercury, no matter how violent the solar storm will be caused by the impact of Comet Arthur, Mercury will bear it all for it. At the same time, because of its long distance from Mercury and its tiny gravity, the Crimson Heart spacecraft only needs to consume very little fuel to maintain its orbit and will not fall on Mercury.

The astronauts on the Crimson Heart are responsible for the short-term control of the Lightbringer spacecraft, and the ground control base is still responsible for the long-term control. The connection between the three has always been maintained and has never been severed.

In the ground control base, the image of Comet Arthur and the image of the lightbringer spacecraft have been displayed on the big screen. Hundreds of researchers and the commander-in-chief of the impact mission, Frank, are here. A large number of media reporters also gathered here to broadcast everything here in real time to any corner of Equator City and the City of Life.

It can be seen from the big screen that the gas explosion above the fragments of the nucleus of Comet Arthur has reached its most violent stage. Due to the increase in temperature and the increase in internal pressure, violent explosions occur all the time on the fragments of the comet's nucleus. After each explosion, a fountain-like gas is ejected from it. Under the tremendous power of the sun, the tail of Comet Arthur stretches for hundreds of millions of kilometers. The sun's rays reflected by these comet tails can even be seen by the earth during the day.

It is the afternoon in the city of life at this moment, and it is one of the brightest periods of the sun in a day. But even so, when people look up to the sun, they can still see the bright Comet Arthur.

Comet Arthur is right next to the sun, and even the sun's rays can't cover it up.

During the seven days that it went beyond the earth's orbit and continued to fly to the sun, every human on earth witnessed how this comet, which carries the hopes and expectations of human civilization, brightened step by step. At the beginning, only people with good naked eyes could see it without light interference and under excellent observation conditions, but after just a few days, its brightness surpassed the first bright star in the sky. Sirius, which immediately surpassed Jupiter and Venus in brightness, then started catching up with the moon, and by the last night when Arthur's Comet was visible, it was nearly full moon. Even if there is no moon in the sky, Comet Arthur can illuminate the earth.

Then you can't see it at night. Because it was so close to the sun, it began to rise and set with the sun. Its figure came from night to day, illuminating the world with the sun.

This is a rare astronomical spectacle that can be seen in thousands of years, and because of the special significance it carries, it has quickly become the most well-known comet among the earth's civilizations. It is known that the two Lightbringer spacecraft are right next to Comet Arthur, and are trying to adjust the advance orbit of this comet, which is extremely huge compared to humans, with the power of human beings...

Frank's name also spread to the ears of every human being on Earth along with the name of Comet Arthur. As Frank wished, he is now the most well-known scientist in Earth civilization, and during this period of time, his fame even surpassed that of Zhao Huasheng. Under Frank's light, Zhao Huasheng is like a dim and inconspicuous star, and not many people will pay attention to him.

Frank knows that whether the comet impact plan can be successful and whether he can become the greatest hero in human history will be judged in less than a day.

On this day, the entire Equator City fell into silence. Except for the necessary work, everyone stopped busy, and everyone returned to their homes, standing in front of the TV or other media, anxiously waiting for the results. For the first time, the busy Equator City stopped its always busy steps and entered a state of stability and rest.

In addition to waiting for the comet impact plan to come to fruition, there is another thing that makes people have to give up work and go home. That is the possible eruption of a powerful solar storm. Although the advancing speed of the solar wind is slow, the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves is the speed of light. If something like high-energy gamma rays is present in the solar burst after the impact, hiding in a basement or indoors is better than being exposed in the wild.

Zhao Huasheng also hid in the basement. Like the others, he quietly watched the live broadcast of the comet impact plan in front of the TV. The impassioned voice of the announcer continued to echo in the small basement: "The comet impact plan has entered the most critical and final stage. The ground control base has just received news from the Crimson Heart spacecraft, and Captain Lager has confirmed that The two Lightbringers had been destroyed by the sun, and all the solar reflectors, as well as the engines mounted on the fragments of Comet Arthur's nucleus, were also destroyed by solar radiation and comet explosions. But Captain Ruggle It is also confirmed that the fifteen pieces of cometary nucleus fragments already have suitable orbits, and they will hit different areas of the sun according to the wishes of our human civilization..."

"The sun is a sphere, but because the fifteen pieces of cometary nucleus have different orbits, they will hit different parts of the sun, including the back of the sun. The impact of these fifteen pieces of cometary nucleus will not leave behind. In a blind spot, they would encapsulate the entire sun within the impact radius."

"At present, fifteen fragments of the nucleus are still four to five million away from the sun. The fragment of Comet Arthur, numbered A, is the closest to the sun and will hit the sun three hours later. In fact, the distance of 4 million kilometers already belongs to the range of the sun's corona, and our solar observation satellite has observed the debris of Arthur's Comet and the traces of friction in the corona..."

Zhao Huasheng climbed out of the basement and looked up at the sun. It did not exceed Zhao Huasheng's expectations. At this moment, Comet Arthur has disappeared and can no longer be seen. Although the brightness of Comet Arthur has reached the highest at this moment, it is too close to the sun, so close that it is impossible to see it with the naked eye. It will hit the sun shortly after and disappear from the universe forever.

Zhao Huasheng stared at the sky for a while, then returned to the basement again. Through live TV, Zhao Huasheng also saw the specially treated picture of the sun. Under the strong rays of the sun, a very distinct thin line appeared. Zhao Huasheng knew that UU reading www. uukanshu.com That is Comet Arthur.

At this very moment, billions of tons of material are rapidly hitting the sun. The mass of Comet Arthur is far greater than that of the original Moth impactor, and the impact speed of Comet Arthur is also much higher than that of the Moth impactor. Therefore, the impact of Comet Arthur will inevitably spread to a much larger area than the number of 3 million square kilometers.

"What are your thoughts at this time?" Zhao Huasheng asked.

The voice of the plasma lifeform appeared in Zhao Huasheng's mind: "The idea in my heart is to destroy human civilization. If you ask me how I feel now... This feeling is probably the same as when you saw countless It's the same feeling as if a human being froze to death."

Zhao Huasheng slightly raised the corner of his mouth, but did not speak.

Time was still slipping away bit by bit, and three hours passed in a hurry. Frank's voice also spread throughout the entire Equator City at this moment, and also spread throughout the entire City of Life, and spread to all places on the earth where humans exist.

"If there is no accident, the debris of Comet Arthur numbered A has hit the sun at this moment. Because of the signal delay, we will not be able to detect the sun's impact due to the impact after about eight minutes. Change." Frank's voice was calm and steady: "Now, let's start waiting together. In eight minutes, everything will be revealed."
