Earth Era

Chapter 105 The cold returns

Although he had expected this result, Zhao Huasheng still felt relieved when he heard the plasma lifeform tell him this information personally. Zhao Huasheng is not worried that the plasma life form is deceiving himself, because that makes no sense. If the false comet deterrence plan has been leaked, or if the information that it still maintains contact with human civilization has been leaked, the plasma life form will probably kill itself directly instead of deceiving itself.

The information that the plasma lifeform tells itself is quite credible. Now that it said this, Zhao Huasheng knew that the last obstacle facing the moon base plan had been eliminated.

"Later, within a few days to a month, solar civilization will send a signal to human civilization in a language that human civilization can understand, telling human civilization that solar civilization has accepted this transaction and requires human civilization to transfer Apa The special asteroid is adjusted to an orbit that will not hit the sun." The plasma life form continued, "After the Apat asteroid loses its threat to the solar civilization, the revenge from the solar civilization will reach the earth."

"Whatever, the moon base plan has been completed by that time. No matter what kind of disaster human civilization encounters, it has nothing to do with me." Zhao Huasheng said lightly.

"It really has nothing to do with you." The plasma life form said, "But I am still curious about one thing, that is... since human civilization clearly knows that even if the solar civilization finally accepts the deterrence of human civilization, the deterrence of the Apat asteroid The time limit can only last three to four years. After this period of time passes, nothing will change, and human civilization will also face the crisis of extinction. So...why does human civilization do this?"

"It's just a desperate struggle." Zhao Huasheng said, "It is better to die later than to die early. Human civilization is stalling for time. Human civilization hopes to find a way to fight against solar civilization and continue itself during this period of time."

"Perhaps so. But I am not optimistic about the prospects of human civilization."

Zhao Huasheng shook his head. There was no response to this sentence.

At this moment, the comet impact plan is far away. That is, more than a year has passed since the sun returned to normal brightness. For more than a year, human civilization has enjoyed a rare period of warm, even hot, time. No one knows when the sun will dim again, and no one knows when it will become warm again after the sun dims again.

The Ministry of Agriculture is taking advantage of this period of time when the frozen soil thaws and the earth returns to spring. A large number of manpower was organized and countless agricultural machinery was deployed to plant food in all places on the earth that were accessible to humans and suitable for planting. So far, two rounds of harvesting have been carried out. As a result, human civilization has gained several more years of food reserves. The industrial sector, scientific research sector, material recycling sector, etc. also took advantage of this period to do a lot of work.

Only a few people have time to worry about the future. Most people are still busy as before, just to survive.

Zhao Huasheng can probably be regarded as the most leisurely person in human civilization. After the false comet deterrence plan was successfully implemented, Zhao Huasheng had nothing to worry about. So Zhao Huasheng completely fell into waiting, killing time watching the stars, sleeping, and thinking. Waiting for the lunar base to be built, waiting for the day to go to the lunar base.

During this time, at least hundreds of space launch missions were carried out. Thousands of tons of materials used to build the lunar base were transported to the Sky Laboratory for transit, and then flew to the moon aboard the lunar landing spacecraft. Through pictures sent back from the moon. Zhao Huasheng saw that the prototype of a lunar base had already appeared on the plain on the back of the moon. It covers an area of ​​approximately hundreds of square meters, and the entire building is divided into several parts such as living area, entertainment area, scientific research area, and planting area. It is completely built according to the model of a permanent living base. After it is fully completed, its internal facilities can fully support a person's stable and comfortable life for decades.

The scientific research and space observation equipment requested by Zhao Huasheng are also being manufactured intensively, and are ready to set off to the moon at any time. The lunar base plan is proceeding smoothly and orderly.

At this moment, there are still two years before the expected successful construction of the lunar base. There are still two years and five months until the Apat asteroid loses its deterrence capability.

This is an extremely ordinary day in Equator City. People are as busy as ever with various things and running for their own survival. The difference is that today's Equator City is much emptyer than before. The reason for this phenomenon is that a large number of people have been deployed to participate in agricultural production in places around the world that are suitable for growing food.

Agricultural machinery that existed before the solar crisis had been damaged by low temperatures. The industrial sector today also does not have the capacity to manufacture much agricultural machinery. There is no need to manufacture so many agricultural machinery - because everyone knows very clearly that those agricultural machinery will not last too long. Once the cold envelopes the earth again. They are no longer useful. Therefore, it became inevitable to rely on a large number of people to grow crops.

The plains of the tropics and temperate zones are filled with boundless oceans of crops. The endless corn jungle, the endless waves of wheat swaying in the wind, the invisible borders of peanuts, soybeans, potatoes, rice, vegetables...

In this warm climate, crops have been harvested for three rounds, and now the fourth harvest season is about to begin. But... people probably don't have the chance to wait until these crops mature.

A farmer who was working hard in the field ended his work and came to the field to take a rest, drink a sip of water, and eat something. Just when he raised his head to drink water, his eyes happened to see the sun that was about to set and had become no longer dazzling. So his movements froze there. Water gushes from the corner of his mouth and wets his clothes without him noticing.

Because he clearly saw that there was a black spot clearly visible to the naked eye on the sun that was about to set. Oh, maybe that's not a black spot, it just looks darker because the temperature is lower... But it's not a sunspot. The sunspots are not that big or conspicuous. Then it can only be one thing.

The reverse fusion layer... once brought endless suffering to human civilization. It was ended by Comet Arthur two years ago, but it was not completely extinct in the end. Now it is resurrected. The reverse fusion layer was born at the hands of solar civilization...

The reverse fusion layer once again appeared on the sun. And every human being on earth knows very well that once the reverse fusion layer appears, it will develop rapidly. It will probably completely cover the entire sun within a few days, reducing the surface temperature of the sun from 6,000 degrees Kelvin to 4,500 degrees Kelvin. At the same time, it will also cause freezing temperatures to fall again. Above the earth...

The crops in front of him will take at least more than a month to mature. The drop in temperature will cause plants to become sick and even die. Even if they do not die, the lack of photosynthesis will cause a significant reduction in crop yields, making them basically worthless for harvesting, which means... This farmer spent a few months before All the hard work was wasted. The sweat he had sown on this land, the patience he put into taking care of it, watering, fertilizing, weeding... all of it was in vain.

He threw away the kettle in his hand, knelt weakly on the ground, then lay down on his upper body, sniffing the still fragrant and moist soil, and large tears began to well up in his eyes.

Just one more month, just one more month, these crops will mature, and they can be turned into white and soft steamed buns, delicious noodles, delicious bread and other foods, supporting countless humans for at least one year. Time is needed for survival, but now...everything is ruined.

Accompanied by a crackling sound, the voice of the commander of the area came from the communication instrument hanging on his waist: "All agricultural personnel please return to the base immediately after hearing this message. Please return to the base immediately, and then follow Arrange to return to Equator City in batches... The reverse fusion layer has reappeared, and the temperature here will drop rapidly. We must return to Equator City for refuge as soon as possible... Please return to the base immediately..."

He got up from the ground, wiped his tears with his big rough hands, and then left here without looking back, never wanting to look at the crops that he had carefully taken care of for several months and that he regarded as treasures.

Zhao Huasheng, who was far away in the small courtyard next to the City of Life, also noticed this change at the same moment. The difference is that it is afternoon time where Zhao Huasheng is, and there is still some time before the sun sets.

As if a certain string in the universe had been touched, Zhao Huasheng gently closed the book in his hand and cast his gaze on the sun in the sky. Then Zhao Huasheng also saw what appeared above the sun. Very conspicuous black spots.

"Has this day finally come? Okay." Zhao Huasheng sighed softly, then lowered his head, opened the book again and started reading, refusing to devote his energy to the sun.

At this time, a group of soldiers wearing military uniforms walked in at the entrance of the small courtyard. A soldier saluted Zhao Huasheng and said: "By order of superiors, we are here to tell you a piece of news. There are still two years until the construction of the lunar base is completed. In order to allow you to adapt to the environment above the base, scientific research The ministry has decided to start a two-year astronaut training for you.” (To be continued~^~)
