On a day that was originally Christmas, after experiencing many disasters this year, people are eager to hope that this year will pass early and the disasters will subside.
After all, this year has been a year full of pain for all mankind.
Plague, famine, war, and death, the four horsemen of the apocalypse recorded in the Bible have almost ravaged the world. Human beings are obviously so vulnerable to the disasters caused by nature.
However, people have not given up hope. Even in the face of disasters, we are still working hard to fight against these disasters and demonstrate the most precious golden spirit of mankind - to be full of hope and never give in to disasters.
However, it was as if God had played a huge joke on mankind. On this day, a huge meteorite with a diameter of more than ten kilometers was discovered by astronomers. After calculations, the astronomers confirmed that the orbit of this huge meteorite would be consistent with that of the blue sky. The orbits of the stars intersect and within months they will impact the blue star.
After the governments of various countries learned of the news, they immediately blocked the news. In order to avoid causing social panic, almost all astronomers were issued a gag order.
But this kind of news cannot be blocked.
After all, meteorites are hanging in the sky. As meteorites get closer and closer to the Blue Star, astronomy enthusiasts around the world can see comets getting brighter and bigger in the night sky just by setting up telescopes.
Moreover, in the aerospace operations and various countermeasures launched by various governments, in this era when the Internet is so developed, it is difficult not to catch clues.
These clues naturally spread on the Internet, causing heated discussions. At the same time, some people with foresight started to hoard supplies after smelling the clues.
There have been too many disasters this year, and many people have already experienced them.
Food, medicine, protective gear, communication equipment... these emergency supplies were snapped up by everyone immediately.
Fortunately, there have been many disasters this year. Companies that produce these emergency supplies have increased their production of these disaster necessities. Especially emergency food that can be stored for 20 or even 40 years has become the most important thing at this time. Supplies in short supply.
Although this year, emergency food has been one of the most popular disaster supplies after protective equipment.
But compared to rushing to buy these supplies, in Chen Xin's opinion, it is more important to dig a shelter for himself.
Chen Xin is an online writer who makes a living by coding on various major novel websites. As a writer, the most important thing is naturally his imagination and logical thinking ability. After all, the essence of the so-called novel is a logic that can attract people. Smooth thinking.
And this undoubtedly makes Chen Xin think more complicated than others when facing such a possible disaster.
Meteor hits Blue Star, how can humans avoid disaster
This question immediately came to Chen Xin's mind.
Fortunately, as an Internet writer, Chen Xin usually has a lot of ideas. He also has the habit of recording these ideas and trying to think about and improve them. The situation of the meteorite hitting the blue star happened to be in the brain that Chen Xin had thought about. within the scope of the hole.
While hoarding supplies and searching for possible information on the Internet, Chen Xin did not forget to dig out the ideas he was thinking about from the folder where he recorded his ideas.
When a giant meteorite hits the Blue Star, the first thing it brings is a violent impact.
Judging from the current size of the meteorite, even if various countries have space interception plans, the possibility of success is not high. The most likely possibility is that the meteorite will be broken into several smaller pieces due to human interception operations, or it will rub against the blue sky. star, or hit a blue star.
However, this does not mean that the degree of disaster will be reduced, and do not think that small meteorites are less dangerous, because this small size is compared to the meteorite itself which is more than ten kilometers in diameter.
Even if it is broken into meteorite fragments several kilometers in size, impacting the Blue Star can still bring devastating disasters.
If a meteorite with a diameter of more than five kilometers hits the Blue Star, there will be no human and animal life within a radius of at least one thousand kilometers from the impact point.
The impacting meteorite will lift materials near the impact site directly into space, and the heat energy generated by the friction between the meteorite and the atmosphere and the energy released by the impact will form a wall at least ten kilometers high and with a temperature exceeding thousands of degrees Celsius. The blazing wall of fire swept away everything within a radius of at least 1,500 kilometers.
Within this range, even if you can hide in an underground bunker, there is a high probability that the high temperature will suffocate it in the bunker like a stewed kiln chicken in Meizhou, Guangdong. Even if you dig a bunker deep enough, the consequences that will follow are at least An earthquake of magnitude 11 or above is enough to bury you alive.
If you're lucky, maybe if humans survive tens of millions of years later, your fossils can still be dug up.
If you are interested in leaving some traces for mankind, you can raise your middle finger, and future generations of mankind will definitely be moved by your optimism.
The shock wave caused by the meteorite impact will spread back and forth several times around the world at several times the speed of sound, so no matter where you are in the blue star, you will be able to hear the violent sound caused by the meteorite impact.
If you are in the opposite hemisphere from the impact site when the meteorite strikes, there is no danger for the time being, and the sound caused by the shock wave is enough to remind you to hide in a bunker.
But all this is just the beginning, and the disaster has just begun.
In the next few days, a firestorm composed of haze and debris will cover the entire Blue Star, causing global temperatures to rise from two levels to the equator to 70-200 degrees, turning the entire Blue Star surface into a giant oven. .
The entire earth's surface will become uninhabitable for human survival, and all plants will be scorched by this high temperature until they burn. The toxic and harmful gases produced by global fires will spread throughout the atmosphere, killing most living things on the surface. .
And all of this is still just a prelude and overture to the disaster. Everything can only be said to be an appetizer before the big meal.
Because of the increase in atmospheric temperature, sea levels will also rise rapidly. Coupled with the kinetic energy impact released by meteorite impacts, tsunamis thousands of meters high will occur and impact almost all coastal cities.
The dust clouds kicked up by the impact and the haze formed by the toxic gases produced by global fires will block the sunlight and cover the Blue Star for decades or even hundreds of years, plunging the Blue Star into a long night.
The material thrown into space by the meteorite impact and the smaller meteorite fragments carried by the meteorite itself will continue to hit the blue star.
In the hemisphere where the meteorite impact site is located, all this is like carpet bombing. The continuous meteorite impact will leave few people in the entire hemisphere surviving.
Even if you can hide in an underground bunker, it is impossible to survive in this situation where meteorites ranging from a few meters to hundreds of meters are bombarded almost every day.
As for the hemisphere opposite the impact location, the luck will be slightly better, but meteorites will also fall randomly. It can almost be said that there is a certain chance of seeing meteorites knocking down a few tall buildings when you go out.
But that's not all, because the world is covered in haze formed by thick dust clouds and toxic gases, and temperatures will cool rapidly in the next few months.
If cities at high latitudes are not destroyed in the impact, the temperature will drop to minus 70 degrees, while the equatorial region will be slightly better, probably still 20 to 30 degrees below zero.
Because this long dark night will last for tens or even hundreds of years, and the extremely cold weather will last for an entire century. During this long extremely cold night, the setting of the Ice Steam Age will become a reality. (End of chapter)
