Chapter 127: Both Beautiful and Good-looking
[Current world: Parallel Earth RE, codenamed "The Wandering Earth"]
[Current Mission: Protecting the Solar System Home]
[Mission requirements: Ensure that the main body of human civilization continues to survive and develop in the solar system. The Earth must not be abandoned, the Earth civilization will not experience serious setbacks, the Earth population will be no less than 35 billion, and the main body of Earth civilization will not leave the solar system.]
[Note: The home star system is extremely important to interstellar civilization. If the Earth civilization completely leaves the solar system, it will lose the potential to develop into an advanced civilization. For the future of mankind, please ask the savior to protect the home of the solar system! ]
Zhang Hong carefully studied the system task requirements and found that this task was not simple.
It's quite difficult to have both.
We must preserve the Earth civilization while not leaving the solar system. The Wandering Earth Plan cannot be adopted, and we must find other ways to solve the solar helium flash crisis.
Zhang Hong carefully recalled the original work.
There are still many differences between the movie and the novel. But the overall story is roughly the same: the sun of the Wandering Earth world is about to undergo a helium flash and collapse into a red giant, and the solar system becomes uninhabitable. In order to survive, the Earth civilization overcomes all difficulties and runs away with the mother planet.
The key to everything lies in the "solar helium flash".
Solar helium flash is simply the exhaustion of hydrogen nuclear fusion fuel inside the sun, which is insufficient to maintain its original stable form, and it transforms from a yellow star to a red giant. The expanding red giant will swallow up most of the planets in the solar system.
However, before the Earth is swallowed by the red giant star, the creatures on Earth will be extinct due to the huge energy radiation of the helium flash. The helium flash of Wandering Earth is enough to produce fatal high temperatures to evaporate the oceans on Earth and kill all creatures on the planet in an instant, even if they hide deep underground.
That is why the United Government decided to implement the Wandering Earth Plan, taking the Earth far away, escaping the deadly explosion range of the helium flash, and moving to the Centauri A galaxy where the Trisolarans live next door in two thousand years.
The reason why they didn't use the immigration spaceship method was because they didn't have enough technical strength, didn't master the superluminal flight technology, and didn't have enough to develop a spaceship system that could support thousands of years of flight. So transforming the entire planet into a "spaceship" was a very labor-saving trick.
If you can't build a boat, you can just hold on to a log and cross the river.
The main reason is that the time left for the people on Earth is too short. In less than a hundred years, the solar helium flash will occur. The human civilization on the wandering Earth can only take this unconventional approach to survive.
In fact, this is what makes them admirable.
Within a limited time and limited capabilities, with the determination to burn their boats, they formulated a plan like Yugong moving mountains, using the power of mortals to fight against the power of cosmic disasters. This spirit is truly precious.
Zhang Hong actually admires the people in this world very much.
I also think that the idea of wandering around the Earth is very romantic.
But unfortunately, his arrival means that all this is about to change.
[Solar helium flash... lack of fuel...]
Zhang Hong was thinking about how to solve the solar helium flash problem, preferably once and for all, to ensure that the sun would not decay within tens or hundreds of millions of years.
In the final analysis, it is because the sun lacks fuel... After the fusion of hydrogen elements, nuclear fusion turns to helium fusion, but helium fusion is much more violent than hydrogen fusion. Within a few minutes, helium equivalent to 40% of the mass of the sun will fusion into carbon, releasing huge energy.
This is equivalent to the total energy released by the sun under normal conditions for millions of years.
This is why helium flashes are so deadly.
[If I could supply the sun with enough hydrogen...]
Zhang Hong suddenly thought that the main components of gas planets such as Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are hydrogen.
For example, in Jupiter, hydrogen accounts for more than 80% of its total mass.
If he throws Jupiter into the sun, that would be enough to keep the sun burning for a long time, right?
Zhang Hong naturally came up with such a bold idea.
After thinking about it, he found that with his current abilities, it seemed entirely possible.
But he also knew that replenishing hydrogen to the sun was not as simple as throwing Jupiter into the sun.
Apart from anything else, the terrible energy storm generated by Jupiter falling into the sun is probably enough to exterminate the human race on Earth several times over.
This may be possible, but it still needs to be considered in the long run...
In addition to helping the sun replenish fuel, how to convince humans on Earth to abandon the plan of wandering the earth is also a difficult problem.
Zhang Hong doesn't want to save the world while fighting against all of humanity. He would be exhausted to death if he did that.
He was already tired enough in the previous world.
He decided to change the way the world works, letting humans save themselves, with humans taking the lead and he just playing a supporting role.
Zhang Hong felt that he had to learn to be a better savior and not let the world rely on him all the time.
Not only would he be very tired and hard-working, but people in the world who have not experienced hardships would not cherish the hard-earned peace, and it would be in vain to save them.
To save the world, you must first save people; to save people, you must first enlighten their minds.
If no one in this world wants to work hard to save themselves, why should he, an outsider, worry so much?
Basking in the sun, I pondered this idea quietly for a long time in the silent space.
Zhang Hong had a plan in mind on how to complete the mission of becoming the system's savior.
The next step is to see how the people of this world react.
[Wait, I seem to have overlooked something important...]
Zhang Hong remembered something, and his mental power probed into the earth, sinking to the microscopic level of the electron level.
……
The earth is a piece of blue space that cannot be reached by real humans.
The blue binary code here constitutes space and time, flowing continuously in it. The entire blue space is an ocean of electronic data.
In the center of the ocean stood a vague sea urchin-like creature made of complex code, with a round eye in the center, dark as a hole, and a red light flashing in the center. The spikes on the sea urchin's body were connected to the light bands composed of countless data streams, spreading in all directions like synapses.
At this moment, the blue one-eyed sea urchin's attention was focused on the dozen or so screens in front of it, which showed a series of short or incomplete images captured by the surveillance equipment.
The blue sea urchin's single eye stared quietly at one of the images.
It seemed to be outer space captured by a satellite camera. In the picture, a gray-blue dot flashed by.
The picture was frozen and zoomed in to mosaic level. Through the blurred pixels, one could vaguely see that the gray-blue was actually a human figure.
Although it was too far away to see its facial features clearly, it was absolutely certain that it was a human.
Through the satellite camera, we can see that the human suddenly appeared in space, and in less than two seconds, he disappeared again.
The two-second scene is played repeatedly, with red light flashing in the blue sea urchin's single eye, as if it is thinking about something.
The surrounding scenes were captured by cameras at the base, space station, elevator bridge box, etc. when the space elevator occurred not long ago.
There are various abnormal situations in the picture.
The space station disintegrated and reassembled itself, carrying hundreds of astronauts alive.
The fighter pilot fell from a height of 10,000 meters, and then stood up from the landing without any injury.
The falling object hit the pedestrian on the ground, and suddenly the falling trajectory deviated a few meters above the pedestrian's head, just missing the pedestrian...
There are many such scenes in the picture, as if there is some invisible force protecting everyone in the disaster.
[Deduction may be... logical error... deduction failed...]
The blue sea urchin continued to analyze the information revealed in the video in his mind.
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from the side without any warning.
[Are you MOSS? You are pretty good-looking.]
