Solar helium flash?
Everyone in the conference room was stunned.
After scanning the circle, Yan Zhengqian saw their confused expressions and understood what everyone meant.
Obviously, the answer exceeded their expectations.
Yan Zhengqian realized this and continued to explain without waiting for others to ask questions:
"In fact, we received a report recorded by astronomer Xiang Ming a year ago."
"It contains detailed records of solar activity in the past thousand years and changes in the past 100 years. Based on this record, Teacher Xiang Ming deduced that the fusion of the sun's core will intensify, which will eventually cause a fatal helium flash crisis."
"By then, all living things on Blue Star will be severely affected."
After Yan Zhengqian finished speaking, the collective fell silent.
The harm of the solar helium flash crisis is far greater than the sunspot movement known to ordinary people.
Solar helium flash is a very strong solar explosion phenomenon, which is caused by the rapid burning of helium in the core of the sun in a very short period of time.
During a helium flash, the sun's energy output is much higher than usual, and the amount of energy released is huge. The energy released is equivalent to hundreds of millions of times the total release in the past!
This phenomenon will cause the rupture of the sun's magnetic field and produce a huge solar flare. Blue stars with life in them will suffer disaster!
A physicist spoke up:
"Isn't this...a bit unfounded?"
"We all know that the heat emitted by the sun is due to the nuclear reactors inside it. You said that the acceleration of fusion should theoretically depend on the number of nuclear reactors inside the sun. Has this data been measured now?"
"If it is not detected, how can we be sure that a solar helium flash crisis is about to break out?"
Yan Zhengqian glanced at the other party, frowned slightly and said:
"If the number of solar nuclear reactors could be detected as you said, there would be no need for the country to invite you to sit here for a meeting."
This was said bluntly and with a hint of blame, which made the scholar's face turn blue and red.
In fact, since solar activity has been like this for a long time, sometimes stable and sometimes with small bursts, ordinary scholars rarely pay attention to the sun.
For them, if they have time to study the sun, they might as well study something else.
After all, the time spent on other research can still make some contributions to contemporary mankind, but studying the sun is not necessarily the case.
You may not be able to come up with anything in your lifetime.
However, Yan Zhengqian was no longer in the mood to think about this, and he continued:
"We currently have no way to accurately measure the number of nuclear reactors in the sun, but don't forget that such a big crisis has happened on Blue Star more than once."
"More than 200 years ago, during the Carrington event, the content of solar particles produced by the solar storm had reached between 10 and 10 based on ice core sample records."
"Captain Yan, are you saying that the solar particles detected now have exceeded the previous data?"
A female biologist gradually understood what Yan Zhengqian meant, and she began to guess according to Yan Zhengqian's ideas.
"Yes, after Teacher Xiang Ming's prompt, we took the time to send people to conduct comparison studies and found that the content of solar particles is gradually increasing. Coupled with the occurrence of natural disasters in the past year, we have reason to believe that the solar helium flash crisis About to explode."
"Once a helium flash occurs, we estimate that the sun will release the equivalent of millions of years of nuclear fusion energy in a very short period of time."
Following Yan Zhengqian's narration, the pictures and data on the slide screen kept changing.
Looking at the series of rigorous and clear evidence that appeared in front of them, everyone fell silent.
There was dead silence in the conference room.
Everyone began to panic.
They all know the importance of the sun to Blue Star. If there is a problem with the sun, then Blue Star will face...or humanity will face the risk of extinction.
"Team Leader Yan... I would like to ask how long it will be before the crisis breaks out? How long do we have to prepare?" Old Wu asked the key question.
"The current estimate of the solar helium flash explosion is around 2100, which is currently 74 years away."
Hearing this answer, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, some astronomers quickly reacted:
"But the impact of the solar helium flash crisis cannot appear until 2100, right, Team Leader Yan?"
"Yes, a series of recent abnormal events are related to the increase in solar activity. It is expected that a G5 solar storm will occur around September."
Team Leader Yan’s tone was calm but it surprised all the astronomers.
"Captain Yan, are you sure you're right? Solar storm levels are ranked from low to high from G1 to G5, with G5 being the highest level."
"A G1 solar storm may have a slight impact on aviation and space facilities."
"A G5-level solar storm may cause significant impact on all equipment such as satellite communications, navigation and radar, and may also cause harm to the human body!"
An astronomer became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end he stood up.
"You heard it right, it is definitely G5 level. We have confirmed this with Teacher Xiang Ming."
"So everyone, now we need to figure out how to deal with this crisis."
"We have reason to believe that humans have now opened Pandora's box."
Team Leader Yan's firm tone made everyone present panic.
Scholars who used to be rational and calm in the past are now arguing loudly like ordinary people:
"How can we be prepared when you suddenly say this? There are billions of people in the Dragon Kingdom facing this kind of crisis. To be honest, no one can bear it!"
"What should we do? Build a big spaceship to immigrate?"
"Hey, I think the spaceship idea is feasible, let's do it like this!"
"It is indeed possible to build a spaceship, but have you ever thought about where we are going?"
"Yes, there is a solar helium flash crisis. It is too dangerous to stay in the solar system. Who knows whether it will be affected!"
At this time, an astronomer named He Liantang saw the gap in everyone's discussion and made a suggestion:
"I think the spacecraft plan is currently feasible. We can build a space biosphere in space and achieve self-sufficiency."
"But the only rare thing now is how to find such talents in a short period of time to help us build these equipment."
"To be honest, this project is a bit big to carry billions of people into space."
After He Liantang finished speaking, many scholars nodded in agreement with his statement. Everyone believed that it would be too difficult to bring billions of people to heaven in the short term.
The entire conference room fell into a deadlock instantly, and an atmosphere of silence enveloped everyone.
"Everyone, please take a break for now. We will discuss it in half an hour."
Seeing that no one could come up with a definite plan, Yan Zhengqian decided to let them rest for a while.
Yan Zhengqian sighed silently, but unexpectedly Chief Tang came over.
"Sir Yan, I need to leave. This city has found a suspicious person who is making military equipment under the guise of making props."
Yan Zhengqian's military rank was actually higher than that of the Tang chief, so the Tang chief had to call Yan Zhengqian "Sir Yan".
"Who dares to be so bold?"
There was a hint of anger in Yan Zhengqian's voice. He didn't know who else would dare to commit trouble in the Dragon Kingdom.
"I don't know. The people I sent out said that the equipment is better than what we are using now, so I have to take people to see it."
"Oh? Really?" Yan Zhengqian raised his eyebrows, feeling that this matter was more interesting than imagined.
"If this person is really a talent, he can..."
