Chapter 290: Disaster struck, but luckily it didn’t happen to my house
In fact, although Liu Xiu has issued the order, some losses are inevitable because the cost of modifying it may be higher than buying it from scratch.

Just like the mobile phones in ordinary people's hands.

Of course, there is actually a more effective method, which can directly protect you from the damage caused by the 2026 solar storm without spending a penny on modification.

Yes, this method is to pray that when the strong electromagnetic particles of the solar storm reach the Blue Star, it happens to be night on Liu Xiu's side, which is the side facing away from the sun.

But this will naturally cause pain to the people on the other side of Blue Star.

When Liu Peiqiang was one year old, Fu Jianming, the first person to discover the solar crisis, passed away in the hospital in 2024. There were only two years left before the super solar storm!
In this way, amid intense preparation and waiting, it finally arrived in June of the year 2022. At this time, Liu Xiu, who had been observing the sun with pictures of enemies and friends, naturally witnessed the solar storm begin to erupt with his own eyes.

Solar wind, an astronomical term, refers to the flow of supersonic plasma charged particles emitted from the upper atmosphere of the sun. Outside the Sun, this flow of charged particles is often called a "stellar wind." The solar wind is a continuous stream of high-speed charged particles coming from the sun and moving at a speed of 2 to kilometers per second.

Although this material is different from the air on the blue star, it is not composed of gas molecules, but is composed of simpler basic particles that are one level smaller than atoms - protons and electrons, etc., but the effects they produce when they flow It is very similar to air flow, so it is called solar wind.

The density of the solar wind is very thin and insignificant compared to the density of the blue star's upper wind. Typically, in interplanetary space near Earth, there are a few to dozens of particles per cubic centimeter, while the density upwind of a blue star is hundreds of billions of molecules per cubic centimeter.

Of course, although the solar wind is very thin, the force it blows is far stronger than the wind on the Blue Star. On Blue Star, the wind speed of Category 12 typhoons is more than 32 meters per second, while the wind speed of solar wind is often maintained at 300 to 400 kilometers per second near the earth, which is tens of thousands of times the wind speed of Blue Star. When violent, it can reach more than 800 kilometers per second.

But this time it is not a solar wind, but a super storm that is more violent than the solar wind. Both the speed and the density of charged particles are far greater than the previous solar wind.

However, after the solar storm broke out, Liu Xiu saw the speed of the solar storm and finally calculated that the speed of this solar storm had reached 1,500 kilometers per second, far exceeding the speed of any previous solar storm.

Based on the calculation that the distance from Blue Star to the Sun is 1.5 billion kilometers, the time it takes for the solar storm to reach Blue Star is 100,000 seconds, which is 27.7 hours.

After calculating the time, Liu Xiu immediately looked at the current time. It was already dark at eight o'clock in the evening, which meant that the back of their crops was facing the sun.

Therefore, seven hours after twenty-seven o'clock, naturally around twelve o'clock in the evening, this super strong solar storm will come to Blue Star.

However, twelve o'clock in the evening is just right, because Liu Xiu's side is at the farthest point at this time. Unless the solar storm will deflect, Liu Xiu and the others will naturally be safe and sound.

Of course, Liu Xiu's side is having a good time, but the other side of Blue Star is not feeling well. After all, they are the ones who have borne everything.

The twelve-hour time difference from Liu Xiu's side is directly connected head-on. Such crops naturally include rice crops, and as long as they are under the sunlight during the day, they will face a solar storm. of blow.

Just when Liu Xiu mentally calculated the time for the solar storm to land on the Blue Star, and then breathed a sigh of relief, the deputy leader of the helium flash response team and the people from the observatory hurried to Liu Xiu and approached Liu Xiu. reported the news. And the reason why they know this is naturally because the observation satellites near the sun have suffered. There is no way that solar storms decrease with distance, so the observation satellites closest to the sun are not protected even if they have undergone high-intensity protection. There is no way to escape the fate of destruction.

Fortunately, because some satellites are at different distances, the destruction time is also different. Therefore, the speed of the solar storm is naturally calculated, and there is no difference between the speed Liu Xiu observed using the map of friends and foes.

············
An hour later, in the emergency conference room, which was already filled with the heads of important departments, the deputy leader of the helium flash team described the extent of the damage caused by the solar storm and the route to Blue Star. time.

After he finished speaking, Liu Xiu said:

"This solar storm is far more powerful than before, so satellites in orbit will definitely suffer, so we must immediately prepare to launch supplementary satellites after the solar storm passes. Of course, fortunately, our geostationary space station does not have to worry, but We also need to prepare them just in case, and the Mars base has also informed us that it is best to protect important electronic equipment in the underground base before the solar storm arrives, so all outside operations are stopped!”

Yes, with years of development on Mars, in addition to those on the ground, large-scale underground bases have also been established underground.

At this point Liu Xiu paused and continued:

"In addition, inform all the crops on the entire Blue Star about the observed situation and remind them to be prepared!"

However, what Liu Xiu didn't expect was that after Liu Xiu told the other side about the disaster forecast, he was ridiculed, especially by Mi Tuo, because Mi Tuo said that they had actually observed it, but there was no need to worry, because The solar storm will be blocked by the blue star's magnetic field and atmosphere, and the intensity of the solar storm will rapidly decay as the distance increases.

Therefore, there is no need to take any defensive measures such as a complete shutdown of production and power. After all, for a major factory, the loss of a day of power outage is not small!

And not only that, Mi Tuo also publicly stated that Liu Xiu's approach was redundant and bluffing, and there was no need to worry about it. So when he saw Mi Tuo like this, he thought about the power of past solar storms.

Therefore, those who were planning to take refuge in accordance with Liu Xiu's request also canceled the evacuation method of power outage and production shutdown.

When Liu Xiu saw that their kind reminder was actually ridiculed, he could only lament that it was hard to persuade the damned person with a kind word!
After all, if the evacuation method required by Liu Xiu is followed, the losses can be greatly reduced.

For example, take light and valuable electronic equipment into the underground shelter, and then cut off the network and power and pull out the sockets connected to the household appliances. This will naturally prevent the high-voltage waves formed by the charged particles of the solar storm on the outdoor wires from entering the household appliances. , thus damaging the electronic equipment inside.

You must know that all household appliances have a certain voltage, and it is difficult for charged particles to pass through concrete, so as long as the power cord is cut off by physical means, nothing will happen.
