Chapter 1 Gamma Ray Burst

Leaving aside the purely theoretical conjecture event of the birth of the universe, the Big Bang, the most terrifying super-high energy level Big Bang that has been observed in the universe so far is undoubtedly a gamma-ray burst.

This is the most violent big bang in the universe. It really existed and occurred intensively in the vast cosmic space, constantly threatening the existence of life.

Just because the gamma rays emitted are enough to kill all life along the way, the huge energy released in a short period of time is comparable to the sum of the energy released by hundreds of suns in a lifetime.

Even a single photon emitted by it is often hundreds of thousands of times more energetic than sunlight.

This kind of energy, which is born in the short-term release of the collapse and explosion of a huge star when its fuel is exhausted, is the enemy of life and the strongest killer of the universe.

Gamma-ray bursts occur almost every day in the universe, and the direction is random. If a planet with life is unfortunately on the release path of the gamma-ray burst, then the life on this celestial body will encounter catastrophe.Because it happens so frequently that about one ten-millionth of the celestial bodies are swept by gamma-ray bursts.

The earth was once a member of the "Gamma Ray Burst Victims List" and suffered mass extinction, but it survived tenaciously and gave birth to life and civilization again in the long period of barrenness.

On April 2017, 4, the lovely earth will usher in the second visit of 'Reaper'.

A massive neutron star from billions of light-years away collided with another neutron star, and a terrifying gamma-ray burst was released unprecedentedly.

The explosion only took 42 seconds to radiate, but this energy evaporated many stars along the path of its radiation, rushed out of the galaxy all the way, and spread in the dark interstellar space for billions of years.

Like a randomly fired 'reaper bullet', no one wants to be 'shot'.

Of course, life hopes that this unprecedented gamma-ray burst will continue to exhaust its last energy in the interstellar space, and never enter the next galaxy.

However, contrary to expectations, a spiral galaxy happened to be on the ballistic trajectory of the 'stray bullet', and super energy went into this river system with a diameter of 10,000+ light years.

It is the unlucky Milky Way. After the baptism of [-] million years ago, it ushered in the second lottery.

Of course, compared with the vastness of the universe, the propagation path of gamma-ray bursts is not very wide. If possible, gamma-ray bursts can completely sweep away some galaxies, and finally enter the galactic black hole to be swallowed. This is the best result. Also a common result.After all, on the scale of the Milky Way, this level of energy is nothing, and the black hole in the center of the galaxy can absorb it all and swallow it all.

The only thing that really takes this as a catastrophe is life.

It's a pity that a galaxy that gave birth to a planet of life happened to be running on the transmission path, and the civilization on it became the 'first prize' winner.

And because the gamma ray burst strikes at the speed of light, the civilization on this life planet will not realize that it has won the lottery until it is destroyed.

This 'lucky guy' is the earth.

A super gamma-ray burst cut in from a unique angle and hit the earth before it could vaporize the sun.

This one is no better than the one [-] million years ago, and its energy level is unprecedentedly strong. Although it consumes too much energy during the transmission process, it is still enough to make the earth unable to breed life anymore, and it will be in an extreme environment until the end of its lifespan.

The lore, the life on earth will not respond in any way, and the moment it experiences all this, it will end instantly.

However, nature made a big joke at this second. The universe itself is an infinite coincidence, and there are always countless unknowns and miracles.

The moment the terrifying gamma ray burst reached the surface of the earth and rushed into the atmosphere, it disappeared strangely.

Not to mention life on the surface, even the atmosphere itself has not suffered much damage. The energy so big that the sun can only tremble is gone, as if there is an invisible space that swallows everything at this moment .

……

The first to discover this gamma-ray burst was the Spitzer Space Observatory.

It is in the deep space orbit of the second Lagrangian point. It was on the other side of the earth when the gamma burst came, but it was not attacked. It was not until an hour later that it detected the abnormal visible light and radiation remaining in space. background.

A large amount of observation data was transmitted to the ground, which directly aroused the panic of NASA.

"Gamma-ray burst? Visible light was found in the orbit of the Earth planet? So close?"

"Not only that, but the energy level is very high! Judging from the residue, the propagation time has surpassed that of the observation in 1999 by about ten times!"

"What! God, are we still alive?"

In 1999, a distant super gamma-ray burst was observed on the earth, and the energy value was equivalent to the sum of the energy released by the entire Milky Way in 2000 years.

That was already the largest gamma-ray burst observed in human history, and now, they have observed a larger one, breaking the record.

The energy index is comparable to the sum of the energy released by the entire Milky Way in 2 years!

Terrifying astronomical figures, of course, this is the peak of the location of the radiation point. After billions of years of propagation and attenuation, it is not enough to destroy the molecular structure of the earth when it reaches the earth, but the radiation alone is also enough to destroy the ecological environment of the earth. It turned into hell.

At this moment, the society on Earth, as if nothing happened, is still running peacefully.Even during this period of time, there were no space station docking missions, and there were no casualties in each space station laboratory.Otherwise, when a gamma-ray burst strikes, as long as there are people in space stations such as Tiangong-[-] located in low-Earth orbit, they must bear the brunt of it, and no one will be spared.

This bizarre phenomenon confuses the staff of various space agencies.

The staff of various national astronomical observatories who observed the remnants of the 'afterglow' were all frightened, their faces pale, and they muttered to themselves in fear.

"Why aren't we dead yet?"

Some of the Chinese and European aerospace engineers couldn't stand still, and leaned against the nearest place, their lips trembling.

This is so lucky, so lucky that it is unscientific and unreasonable!
It can only be explained by coincidence, an unknown coincidence, perhaps extremely complicated, and the earth was spared.

Just the strange survival of the earth is enough for the next decades or even hundreds of years, experts in the field of spaceflight of all mankind will study it all their lives.

Within a few hours after the incident, a joint research team was established in the global aerospace field, and experts and engineers from China, Europe and the United States shared data with each other to research and verify the "doubts about the fact that the earth was spared".

The first step in their research is whether to deny the fact that gamma-ray bursts have visited the earth. Once there is scientific evidence to deny this, and the afterglow in space is considered to be nothing more than an astronomical illusion, it is reasonable for the earth to survive.

However, iron-like data show that all of this cannot be any optical illusion, because too much material in outer space has suffered severe gamma-ray impacts, and many space observation satellites that have been impacted have been directly scrapped.

"Is the Earth really on the propagation path? Is it just passing by?"

"No... no, just hit the earth directly... the direction of the source is biased towards the North Pole, and the path does not pass the sun, nor does it pass Jupiter. Look! This is the visible light spectrum of the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst. It is too obvious. Obliquely enter The ecliptic is the one that hit the earth! It has touched the atmosphere!"

"It's incredible that a gamma-ray burst passed through the earth, and we are still unscathed?"

"No, no, no...not through! Look! The propagation path stops abruptly until the earth, and there is no radiation left on the other side, which means that the gamma-ray burst...disappeared when it reached the earth!"

"Disappeared... what do you mean? Absorbed by the earth? Or refracted by the atmosphere?"

"How is it possible! Do you know how much energy is needed to destroy the earth? Expressed in equivalent terms, only seventy gigatons of TNT are needed!"

Gai is 10 Beijing, [-] to the twentieth power, which is a huge quantitative unit.

But the equivalent of so many tons of TNT explosives is nothing compared to the total energy value of the gamma ray burst.

The physicist said: "The energy released by the sun in a day is equivalent to [-] gigatons of TNT, which is enough to blow up the earth once! If on this basis, it is increased by ten times, the energy is enough to blow the earth to nothing but dust. Debris flew out of the solar system."

"You can imagine the sum of the energy of the sun for 100 billion years."

Another physicist said: "I calculated this, it is about 1.8 times ten 48 joules. It is enough to destroy the earth ... ten to the 25th power ... back."

"Yes! And this is just the energy released by a gamma ray burst for 0.0002 seconds. Now, do you still think that the earth is qualified to absorb this energy? And refraction... Even if there is a coincidence that we cannot understand in our atmosphere, miraculously That energy was refracted, so where did it go?"

"We only observed the afterglow of the coming gamma ray burst... but there is no trace of its departure... Could it be that all of this is..."

"God's protection?"

After speaking, everyone fell into silence.

With their knowledge, they are helpless about this mystery, and feel that they are very ignorant.

Although they rejoiced that they were alive, as scientists, they discovered with great sadness that there is no reasonable explanation for the luck of human beings.

The result of the first meeting of the joint research team was only to name this gamma-ray burst 'Gentle Death'.

This day is April 4st, in the city, it may be April Fool's Day.However, in the aerospace field of various countries, high-end scholars will not regard it as April Fool's Day, but a lucky day for mankind.

So far, countries have not planned to make this incident public, but it will not be long before many non-government organizations in the society will observe the afterglow of 'Reaper' one after another.

Experts and scholars who have countless doubts about this have no idea at the moment when the "gentle death" descends and disappears.

In a small fourth-tier inland city in China, a young man fell directly to the ground, unconscious.

He was just a passerby on the street, he was still walking vigorously on his front feet, and he felt as if he was knocked unconscious by something in the next second.

Although it seemed that there was no trauma, there were still kind-hearted people who came forward to check.

After finding out that he really fainted, he hurriedly called 120 and sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment.

The whole process is just a trivial matter in the city, not even news.

No one would have thought that this would have any far-reaching consequences.
