Earth Era

Chapter 83: sunburst

A fragment of Comet Arthur has a mass of about 1.7 billion tons. Among the fifteen fragments in total, the mass of Arthur A belongs to the small one.

​​

But the number 1.7 billion tons is its mass when it was near Jupiter's orbit. During the long-distance trip to the sun, due to the solar radiation and the irradiation of the solar reflector, it was erupting violently all the time. When it reached the vicinity of the sun, its mass had 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 as meteors lose their mass due to violent friction in the Earth's atmosphere, so the fragments of comet cores also lose mass when they pass through the sun's atmosphere. Because of the extreme high temperature and the imbalance of internal and external pressure, these fragments lose a lot of mass, and at the same time, there is a great probability that they will explode into smaller fragments again.

​​

It's not a complete cannonball, it's a shotgun that hits 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 broadcast has been switched to the ground control base. Frank's tall figure is in the center of the screen, next to 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 is idle, but the spirit has been tense.

​​

Everyone is 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 constantly produces small changes. These data are describing the sun at this moment.

​​

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

​​

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

​​

There was silence in the control base. Hundreds of people gathered here, but no one spoke, no one made a noise, and even breathing was light. The atmosphere here is solemn and depressing.

​​

"There is half a minute left, and the error range is plus or minus fifteen seconds." Frank said, "In the shortest fifteen seconds. In the longest forty-five seconds, we can see the changes of the sun."

​​

As Frank said, take this moment as the base point, thirty-eight seconds later.

​​

The numbers describing the state of the sun in the lower right corner of the big screen at the control base suddenly began to change wildly. Before, they were changing all the time. However, the magnitude 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 string of numbers began to change, on the big screen, the huge image of the sun also began to change instantly. Somewhere a little to the upper right of the sun, where first an extremely bright, extremely dazzling white spot appeared, the next moment. This slap in the face instantly expanded, and in a very short period of time, it spread to at least one-fifth of the entire sun portrait.

​​

Within this one-fifth of the range, the color of the sun portrait instantly changed from dark red to blazing white. The strong light made Frank unable to help squinting his eyes. The huge ground control base was also illuminated by the sun image on the big screen.

​​

A few whispers came from all over the control room. Frank's face still did not waver. It seems that all this is what he expected. In just a few seconds after the change of the sun, several different sounds entered Frank's ears: "The total intensity of solar radiation has increased by 30%!"

​​

"Gamma ray intensity increased by 400%! Ultraviolet rays, X-ray intensity increased by 16%! Visible light radiation increased by 17%! The temperature in the 100,000 square kilometers of the impact area is 6 million Kelvin, Temperatures outside the impact zone ranged from 4,500 to 10,000 Kelvin!"

​​

"The area where the reverse fusion layer has been cleared is 580 billion square kilometers!"

​​

"The impact of this level of solar change on Earth is under evaluation!"

​​

Before 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 second fragment has a mass of 2.8 billion tons and will have a greater impact on the sun than the first fragment. Fifteen in total 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 humans on Earth will be the crazy revenge from the solar civilization." The plasma lifeform finally responded at this time.

​​

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

​​

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

​​

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

​​

Huge fragments with a mass of billions of tons were easily torn apart by the strong gravity of the sun. In 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 piece of debris came to this world with unparalleled 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 the irresistible mighty power of heaven and earth. In the face of this power, the most powerful heroes in all human history are as insignificant as ants. Feeling the hugeness of the comet and the majesty of the impact, any self-aware human being will feel its own insignificance. But it is very strange that such a heroic impact came from the hands of human beings. Countless small individuals gathered together to exert such a huge power that could almost change the world.

​​

"This is us human beings... Our individual is 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 debris is closely adjacent to Arthur a. Fifty-one seconds after Frank said the impact time, the huge sun image on the large screen of the control base changed again, its luminosity increased violently again, and the series of numbers describing the sun's conditions also jumped quickly 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 in thirty-seven minutes, with a time error of plus or minus forty seconds."

​​

I don't know if it was an illusion or what, the people in the control base suddenly felt that the temperature around them seemed to have risen a little, as if the sun had begun to drive away the cold for the earth at this moment. But people know that the earth has its own temperature maintenance system, and whether the temperature of the sun increases or decreases, it is impossible for the earth to change so quickly. Although they knew this, seeing the increasingly bright sun on the big screen, people still felt that the weather seemed to be getting warmer.

​​

The change of the sun's temperature will have a very intuitive impact on the earth's atmosphere~www.novelmt.com~ 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, storms .

​​

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

​​

During the long wait, the fragments of Comet Arthur numbered c also hit the sun. As a result, as expected in people's hearts, more than 700 billion square kilometers of reverse fusion layers were emptied, and the brightness and temperature of the sun increased again.

​​

And the solar eruptions brought about by these three impacts have also accumulated to a terrifying level. Only so far, 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, so does the breakdown of the ozone layer. The Ministry of Science had anticipated this outcome long before the comet impact plan was carried out. A plan to repair the ozone layer has been drawn up, and as soon as the impact plan ends, the ozone layer repair plan will begin immediately.

​​

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