As time goes by, the impact is getting closer and closer in the distance measurement. Finally, after looking at the accurate clock, Zhao Huasheng said, "The impact should have happened, but the impact of the impact has not yet reached us."
The surface of the sun was hit by a small man-made object 150 million kilometers away. The spacecraft Chihongxin is 30 million kilometers away from the impact point. It takes a hundred seconds for the speed of light to affect it, but it takes a full minute for the Earth base to observe the impact process.
One hundred seconds passed after Zhao Huasheng said that sentence just now, so Zhao Huasheng added, "If the solar energy burst mode is magnetic wave, then this energy has already reached the spacecraft at this moment."
Carrying the impact signal, the positive light speed is broadcast to the earth, and all the earth’s observable equipment is aimed at the sun at this moment.
"If I hadn’t expected the mistake, we would have received the collision signal in ten seconds," said Zhao Huasheng.
The second hand of the clock kept beating until it was as long as a century, and finally it pointed from three to five.
Ten seconds passed.
Zhao Huasheng looked up at the sun. I don’t know if it was an illusion or what happened. Zhao Huasheng seemed to feel that the sun’s luminosity seemed to be a little brighter than before at this moment.
"We have detected extremely high intensity rays and gamma rays, and the solar radiation level in the visible band has also increased by 3%!"
Everything was as Zhao Huasheng expected. At this moment, the sun broke out with unprecedented power because of the impact of the moth collider.
Chapter 40 Solar Storm
At the moment, the enhancement of the detected rays, gamma rays and visible light radiation from the earth does not match the scale of this impact, that is to say, even if such a small man-made object hits the sun at a very high speed, it is far from enough to explode such a powerful energy, so Zhao Huasheng’s prediction has been confirmed again.
"that’s an area of about one million square kilometers. oh, my god! Come and see! " A researcher in the communication instrument connected to the Vulcan solar telescope exclaimed, "If I am not mistaken, the Moth impactor will wrap the sun’s inverse fusion layer and hit a big hole. This big hole area is 1 million square kilometers, and the inverse fusion layer has been smashed! It has always been wrapped in it, and the surface of the sun with normal temperature and luminosity is exposed! The temperature is five or six degrees! "
"What?" At this moment, even Zhao Huasheng was shocked. Before this, Zhao Huasheng did not expect such a thing to happen. "The anti-fusion layer … was actually broken?"
"Don’t do physical analysis first, and now collect the data first!" Zhao Huasheng decisively reached the order, "Do things after physical analysis, and collect as much information as you can now. These things are likely to be of great benefit to us!"
Zhao Huasheng ordered that even some former FASHEN solar observation telescopes risk being damaged to turn their attention to the sun. This discovery is really amazing. It not only proved the anti-fusion layer, but also proved that the anti-fusion layer can be broken. The key point is that people speculated that the sun was wrapped in the anti-fusion layer, and the sun still maintained its normal temperature and radiation. This speculation has also been confirmed!
This is undoubtedly the most important breakthrough made by mankind since the outbreak of the solar crisis!
It is this one million square kilometers of normal solar area that the whole sun has brought about a rise in brightness and a high average temperature. At the moment when this hole appeared, the earth did not know how many people turned their eyes to the sun, which was so strong that changes could be detected only through physical perception.
The sun is getting warmer and brighter.
"Not good! The hole in the anti-fusion layer is shrinking rapidly. It seems that the anti-fusion layer has the ability of self-growth … It has shrunk by seven percentage points! And it is still shrinking. If it is calculated at the current shrinking rate, it will disappear completely in five hours. "The researcher at the Vulcan solar telescope reported another message."
After noticing that the hole in the anti-fusion layer is shrinking, all telescope operators with solar observation ability on earth are in a frenzy because it is obvious that there are only five hours, and how much information can be received in these five hours depends on them.
Zhao Huasheng’s breathing is a little short at the moment, and Zhao Huasheng’s mood is also affected by this emergency, but Zhao Huasheng knows that there is another important thing that needs to be noted by himself.
The extremely high-intensity ray and gamma-ray bursts disappeared after just half a minute. Only the light and thermal radiation continued. Zhao Huasheng knocked on the table and said, "There are major observatories to do the data collection, and we don’t need to be present. I ordered an immediate assessment of the possible damage caused by the intense ray gamma-ray burst to the Red Heart spacecraft. At the same time, the communication department immediately tried to call the spacecraft information receiving department to pay attention to receiving information. If the signal from the Red Heart spacecraft is received, please report it to me as soon as possible."
Zhao Huasheng’s order was quickly executed, and a moment later, the spacecraft damage assessment report was handed over to Zhao Huasheng here.
"According to our comprehensive evaluation, the intensity ray gamma ray burst has no way to destroy the Red Heart spacecraft, which may bring some damage to the spacecraft, such as the failure of the spacecraft road and the damage of components, but these are repairable failures and will not affect the spacecraft as a whole."
Zhao Huasheng gently nodded, and the evaluation report seemed to say good news, but Zhao Huasheng knew that it was far from happy at the moment.
It’s just magnetic wave radiation … Maybe it’s a stomach dish because the most powerful subsequent energy explosion has not yet arrived.
That is, the solar wind is blown out by the sun, and the high-energy particle flow, the aurora of the earth, is generated by the interaction between the solar wind and the earth’s magnetic field. The solar wind is extremely strong, and the equipment such as satellite communication and so on will be affected more often than the earth network.
The speed of solar wind is much slower than that of magnetic waves, and the speed of magnetic waves is 300 to 100 kilometers per second. It takes three days for the solar wind to reach the earth from the sun, that is to say, it takes three days for the earth equipment to measure the intensity of solar wind and evaluate the possible impact of solar wind on the spacecraft Chihongxin.
However, because of the major solar observation satellites, people can shorten the time from three days to a little more than one day, because those solar observation satellites have been launched to places less than 60 million kilometers away from the sun, and it is necessary for the solar wind to reach these satellites. After the satellites measure the intensity of the solar wind, they will broadcast the information to the earth at the speed of light, and people will know what the intensity of the coming solar wind is before it reaches the earth.
Even if it survived the first solar energy burst test, the fate of the latosolic red heart spacecraft is still uncertain.
At this moment, it has been three hours since the gamma-ray radiation was received, and the huge anti-fusion layer hole of the sun has been reduced to less than 400,000 square kilometers. The data collection is still going on. The call attempt for the latosolic red heart spacecraft has been going on in Base 1, but Base 1 has not received a response from the latosolic red heart spacecraft.
"The spacecraft with the red heart is 30 million kilometers away from the sun, and it takes nearly 12 hours for the solar wind to reach the spacecraft. That is to say, at this moment, the spacecraft has not been affected by the solar wind, and according to our assessment, the intensity of rays and gamma rays is not enough to have a fatal impact on the spacecraft, but we have not received a response from the spacecraft," a worker reported to Zhao Huasheng.
Zhao Huasheng nodded silently and didn’t receive a response, which means that there are two possibilities: one is that the spacecraft has been destroyed due to some unknown accident, the other is that the signal sent by the earth has not been received by the spacecraft because of the excessive interference of the solar energy burst signal, or the signal sent by the spacecraft facing the earth has not been received by the earth.
These two reasons are very obvious. I’m afraid all the workers in the workplace know this except Meng Zhuo.
"Hope is the second possibility," said Zhao Huasheng. "I hope they have temporarily lost contact with the earth."
It’s still bit by bit. Five hours later, as people predicted, the reverse fusion layer hole appeared on the surface of the sun and finally disappeared. The luminosity and radiation level of the sun once again decreased to the previous level, but the earth researchers have received a lot of information, which is enough for them to study for some time.
All the people in the No.1 base were still waiting until Zhao Huasheng felt sleepy and couldn’t support it any longer. Zhao Huasheng left here for a short rest and after a short sleep, Zhao Huasheng came to the control hall again.
Twenty-four hours have passed since the solar energy burst. During this time, the staff of Base No.1 have been trying to connect with the Chihongxin spacecraft, but it has not been successful. According to the previous calculation, the solar wind has probably reached the orbit of those exploration satellites, and they should have been detected by satellites.
However, people have never received reports from satellites, which also means that there are two possibilities. First, the solar wind explosion did not occur in the forecast. Second, the speed of the solar wind was estimated incorrectly, so the solar wind still has not reached the observation satellite on its way.
The forward speed of the solar wind is not fixed. If the outbreak is severe, it may be faster, if the outbreak is weak, it will be slower. In addition to this factor, different types of outbreaks will also affect the forward speed of the solar wind.
Zhao Huasheng, of course, hopes that it is the first possibility, not only in Zhao Huasheng’s base, but also in the earth. Everyone hopes that the moth collider hit the sun, only some magnetic waves broke out and no solar wind appeared, but Zhao Huasheng knows that it is impossible to infer for himself that there will be no mistakes, and the solar wind will definitely come to distinguish it from the morning and evening.
Twenty-five hours later, Base One finally received some information about solar wind.
But the workers look a little weird, as if they saw something amazing.
"What the hell happened? Report to me immediately! What is the strength of the solar wind? "
"We lost contact with the satellite," murmured the worker, "but we can’t contact our satellite."
Chapter 49 Lucky probability
"We kept in touch with the satellite before, but we didn’t receive a reply from the satellite just now … when the reservation passed. We are temporarily trying to determine what happened. We are trying to send a communication request to the satellite for the second time …" The worker murmured.
Launching a spacecraft is a very risky thing, because in the middle of it, you don’t know what will happen there. Not only is there an external environmental threat, but a small fault in the instrument department may reimburse an expensive satellite, because it is too big for you to repair it like a brain at home.
It is common for spacecraft to break down and temporarily lose contact, but there are countless such incidents in human history, but this time the satellite lost contact with it has some unusual significance, because it happened at a very opportune time, just when people predicted that the solar wind was coming, people lost contact with it.
This can’t help but cause some terrible associations in Zhao Huasheng’s heart. For example, the intensity of the solar wind exceeds the design limit that the satellite can bear, so when it comes into contact with the solar wind, it is instantly reimbursed by the solar wind.
But … A satellite is still 60 million kilometers away from the sun recently. If the solar wind is strong enough to destroy a satellite in such a short time … Then how powerful will the spacecraft with only 30 million kilometers away from the sun be attacked?
"Continue to try to link the satellite and pay close attention to the status of the second satellite." Zhao Huasheng gave instructions to the researcher with anxiety.
The second solar exploration satellite is 67 million kilometers away from the sun, which is 7 million kilometers more than the first satellite. If the first satellite is really destroyed by the solar wind, it is estimated that the second satellite will be affected by the solar wind for three to five hours according to the speed of the solar wind.
While still waiting, the first satellite passed quietly, as if people had evaporated. Generally speaking, if the ground workers tried hard, no one received any response, but the second satellite kept working normally.
Three hours and fifty minutes later, the second satellite disappeared mysteriously, and the ground workers never received the satellite information again.
And the time period of three hours and fifty minutes is just within the time range of three to five hours.
"So we have been basically confirmed," murmured Zhao Huasheng. "Even if it is 67 million kilometers away, the intensity of this solar wind explosion is still enough to destroy a satellite."
"In the direction of the sun, we have a third satellite with a distance of 69 million kilometers from the sun," a researcher said. "According to the previous solar wind, this satellite will be affected by the solar wind in about an hour. All its satellites are on the side or back of the sun. Even if they observe the solar wind outbreak, they will not be affected by it."
