Chapter 124: Destruction-Level Solar Storm
Chapter 124: Destruction-Level Solar Storm
The observation hall of the China National Meteorological Administration was crowded with people at this time.
Many staff members outside the hall looked up, trying to get a clear look at the face of the patron saint, but unfortunately they were all isolated by the accompanying security personnel.
Various meteorological data are displayed on the demonstration screen.
Lin Xiao just took a look, turned around and said, "Bring up the latest solar activity chart for me."
Finished speaking.
Chen Qiankun hurried forward and took over the computer control from a staff member.
The mouse and keyboard made a series of crackling sounds.
Soon, a solar activity demonstration map and some bar charts were generated.
This visual three-dimensional chart provides clear data and is easy to understand at a glance.
But no one knew what Lin Xiao wanted to do, and no one dared to ask, so they could only stand aside and wait for instructions.
Lin Xiao stared for a long time, his worry growing.
It can be clearly seen from the picture that this solar storm is coming with great force and is even more massive than the one in Lin Xiao's previous life.
This would probably cause huge damage to Blue Star's communications. Now is the critical moment in preparation for war, and communications between all parties must not be interrupted.
To take a step back, even if there is a wired connection, most people use wireless connection, and then their communication tool - mobile phone - will become a brick.
This is what Lin Xiao doesn't want to see.
"Director Chen, have you noticed any abnormalities in solar activity?"
Lin Xiao asked Chen Qiankun.
Chen Qiankun is definitely not an ordinary person since he can hold the position of director of the Meteorological Bureau and he has quite rich professional knowledge.
He only took a quick glance and noticed something unusual.
"Solar activity has increased. This should be the periodic movement of the sun. Is there something wrong with this?"
Chen Qiankun pondered for a while and expressed his doubts.
"No, this solar storm is far more powerful than you think. The command center in Shangjing has already started data monitoring. When the data arrives, you will find that this is not an ordinary solar activity, but a destructive level one!"
Lin Xiao looked at his watch, his tone full of worry.
Chen Qiankun's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.
"A destructive solar storm!"
How serious is this!
He couldn't imagine such a scenario.
At this time, in the monitoring hall of the Shangjing Command Center, all the staff were busy calculating.
They are all using the computing power of the supercomputer "TaihuLight" to carry out calculations on the damage caused by this disaster.
Chief astronomer Li Xingchen was holding a piece of draft paper, thinking hard, and writing and drawing on the paper from time to time.
There are various obscure notices on the paper.
Elder No. 1 stood aside and asked nervously, "Have you calculated the level and scope of the disaster?"
Li Xingchen looked at the final result calculated by the supercomputer and found that it was not much different from his rough estimate, so he answered truthfully:
"Based on previous comparisons, the intensity of this solar activity is ten times or more than that of the past."
"If the previous solar storms were warm spring breezes, this one can be described as a howling north wind!"
"The impact of the disaster is global. It can be said that the more technologically advanced a country is, the greater the impact will be. Our satellites may be interrupted for several days, and the navigation equipment on the ground will become a pile of scrap metal."
"According to the supercomputer's prediction, at 10 a.m. three days from now, wireless communications on the entire Blue Planet will be interrupted!"
After saying that, Li Xingchen waited quietly for Elder No. 1's reaction.
Elder No. 1's brows suddenly furrowed deeply.
"hiss!"
"ten times!"
Immediately, Elder No. 1 turned to his secretary Shi Qiang and instructed:
"Immediately notify the 232 countries on Blue Planet and ask them to prepare for the solar storm!"
"Yes!"
Shi Qiang immediately nodded in response.
At the same time, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
“Elder, what if they don’t heed our warnings?”
"Oh, Xia Country has done its utmost to share the disaster without reservation. It's up to them to believe it or not!"
Shi Qiang nodded solemnly, turned and left.
At the same time, the Zhonghai Meteorological Bureau obtained the data link to Shangjing.
After the big screen was connected to the data, everyone rushed to the front row to observe the impact of the solar storm.
At this moment, everyone's mouth opened wide and their eyes widened.
"The solar storm is that severe? Then my phone won't be connected!"
"No, I have to call my mom who is thousands of kilometers away now and tell them that communications will be disrupted for some time to come."
"I don't know if there is any way we can control this solar storm."
"Don't even think about it. There's no solution. This kind of electromagnetic interference is across the entire frequency band, and current human technology is not capable of doing it!"
"Oh my god, doesn't that mean we will be back to the days before liberation, with communication relying on shouting?"
"You're absolutely right. Let's stick together. This is a natural disaster and there's nothing we can do about it!"
"···"
Inside the hall, everyone looked pale.
That evening.
At seven o'clock sharp.
Xiaguo TV News Emergency Report:
"Emergency notice: The National Meteorological Bureau, the Astronomical Bureau, and the Xia Kingdom's pre-war mobilization commander have confirmed that three days from now, on March 5, the sun above our heads will produce a larger and longer storm, which will affect wireless communications across the country. The time when the impact will be lifted is unknown. Please spread the word to the people of all provinces across the country, obey the arrangements of the local government, and don't be nervous!"
······
Yangcheng.
In a residential building somewhere.
A family of four was having dinner, and the emergency news on TV did not make them panic at all.
After dinner, Dad walked into the kitchen and started washing dishes as usual.
The mother called her relatives and friends one by one, preparing for the final contact.
He was very calm and not at all panicked.
It's nothing, practice makes perfect.
The same scenes.
It is still being performed in various regions of the Great Xia Kingdom!
After the official media news, this emergency notice immediately became a hot search and quickly jumped to the top of the list.
Many netizens on the Internet began to express their feelings.
"The solar storm affects the entire Blue Planet, so we can still be connected via wired network!"
"The above person's words make sense, but wired networks also have nodes, otherwise what are the purpose of so many signal towers on high-rise buildings?"
"The loss of wireless networks has a huge impact on everyone's lives. It is foreseeable that in three days, the information age will become a thing of the past!"
"I'm a girl. Life without the Internet is too scary. But when I think of the guardian angel of Xia Country, I'm not scared anymore."
"Hmm, I have a new rival in love. I heard that the guardian goddess of Xia country is very young. She is mine, so don't compete with me for her!"
"Tsk, you nymphomaniac, the Xia Kingdom's guardian god doesn't like you, he has already pledged himself to the country!"
"..."
foreign.
Western world.
The Berry Country's Hubble telescope and space reconnaissance satellites also discovered unusual movements of the sun.
Coupled with Xia Guo’s warning, this forced them to cheer up.
However, they refused to disclose this to the general public.
Because the natural disaster on April 1st alone caused riots everywhere, and now another natural disaster has come, the civilians will surely be in chaos.
This is something that cannot be said at all, so the British government and some Western European countries have collectively chosen to remain silent.
It was simply explained as an ordinary solar storm that came and went quickly.
A few foreign netizens who had climbed over the Great Firewall only realized the seriousness of the situation after reading Xia Guoren’s news.
After returning to Shangjing, Lin Xiao plunged into the laboratory of Shuimu University.
In his previous life, he remembered that scientists from the Xia Kingdom had developed a material that could resist super electromagnetic radiation, but before they had time to put it into practice, it disappeared due to the impact of the end of the world.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao had strengthened his memory and roughly remembered the formula of this material.
