I! Pretending to Be Reborn, Director of Doomsday Hoax

In the past, central heating needed to start heating hot water, repair equipment, etc. about half a month before winter.

But this time, the sudden blizzard caught everyone by surprise!

In one day, there is no way to achieve heating coverage for all relief stations, which means that many homeless people may not be able to live to see the sun rise tomorrow.

"Why does the sun rise...the blizzard is not going to stop at all, there will be no sun tomorrow." Someone said pessimistically.

"Secretary! Ask the Prime Minister for instructions, we must start distributing heating equipment to the whole country!"

"I even doubt it's winter now!"

The old man touched his red nose and said, "Get ready for the car, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Office."

An hour later, the Meteorological Secretary came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, only to find that the reception room was already full of people.

These are high-level people from all walks of life, and there are even many scientists from the Eagle Kingdom Royal Academy, as well as some Nobel Prize winners.

It's half past twelve in Dragon Kingdom time.

In the Royal Conference Hall of the Eagle Kingdom, a topic on "how to deal with overlord-level blizzards" began under the presence of the prime minister.

The red-nosed old man stood up. The chief of meteorology looked haggard at the moment, and said: "This blizzard has four characteristics: a wide range of influence, severe cooling, low temperature, and continuous strong wind."

"From the southern islands of Eagle Country, to the northern archipelago, most areas have been severely affected, and some places have even achieved a drop in temperature of 26 degrees to more than [-] degrees!"

"This blizzard has reached the highest level of snow warning signal!"

The head of the Natural Gas Guarantee Department said: "Natural gas is an important energy source for heating, and the blizzard has had a great impact on the supply of natural gas. Almost the entire empire is facing huge pressure on natural gas supply n

The head of the Ministry of Power Generation and Electricity stood up and said, "This sudden blizzard has suddenly increased the power consumption pressure across the country by more than 100 times!! Our power supply system has not prepared for this sudden increase at all!" The bad news that came made the prime minister's face even more gloomy.

"Prime Minister, allocate funds!"

"Issuing a national announcement to keep out the cold together!"

"Open warehouses everywhere and sell heating equipment to the public!"

The prime minister's hands were trembling slightly.

Why did I encounter such a strange thing that would not happen once in millions of years as soon as I took office?

And...after this, it seems...the sun goes out?

The prime minister stood up and asked the crowd: "You said, will the incredible thing like the sun go out really happen?"

The royal meeting room was dead silent, and everyone lowered their heads without saying a word.

The cold penetrated through the wall, and everyone wrapped up their down jackets tightly.

The Prime Minister also shuddered.

At this moment, he thought of Xu Qiu's words again.

Eleven months later... the sun goes out and the blue star freezes!

Just one night of heavy snow caused the entire heating system to collapse,

If the blue star really loses the radiation of the sun, and the surface temperature drops to more than 200 degrees below zero, human beings... still have a way to survive?

"I remember that our Aeronautics and Space Administration has a Space Solar Observation Committee." The Prime Minister said with a sigh of relief.

This department, established by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, relies on the space station to place the observation system on the spacecraft to observe the sun.

The method of space solar observation can avoid the influence of the earth's atmosphere on solar observation, thereby expanding the observation band, improving the accuracy of observation, knowing the sun more clearly, and better realizing the monitoring of solar activities.

Measurement.

A middle-aged woman stood up, as if mourning her concubine, and said: "Master Prime Minister, I am the chairman of the Space Solar Observation Committee..."

"Tell me, will the sun go out?"

The middle-aged woman had despair on her face, "If it's my personal thoughts... I believe Xu Qiu's prophecy is possible..."

"I don't want you to express your personal opinion, give me data, give me evidence!!" said the Prime Minister impatiently.

A middle-aged woman took a document out of a suitcase.

This document was originally the purpose of her coming to the prime minister this time.

The things recorded on it are too shocking, involving the entire country and the entire human race, so it must be left to the Prime Minister to decide.

"This is..…"

Seeing that the middle-aged woman really took out the documents, everyone including the prime minister was out of breath.

What they want to hear is middle-aged women denying this prophecy, not confirming it!

The sun goes out!

That was a world-ending disaster! !

The middle-aged woman opened the file and showed everyone a few pictures, which were images of the sun taken from the space observatory.

"Anyone who knows astronomy should know that the sun is a large photosphere, and sometimes there are some dark areas on its surface. These are the places where the sun's magnetic field gathers. We name them sunspots."

"Sunspots have periodic regular activities, which is the sunspot cycle. At the beginning of the sunspot cycle, the sunspots have a certain distance from the equator, and then gradually develop to low latitudes as time goes by."

"Until the end of the sunspot week, new sunspots will appear in high latitudes. The cycle repeats."

"And the activities of sunspots will affect various aspects such as the earth's magnetic field, communication, etc., and even... related to the heat radiation of the sun and the average temperature of the blue star!!"

Hearing the last sentence, the prime minister and others immediately took a breath.

Many people began to shiver. The low temperature brought by the blizzard had already made them feel the despair Xu Qiu described, and even seriously affected their ability to judge!

The middle-aged woman continued: "We know that the activity cycle of sunspots is [-] years. The active period of sunspots will have an impact on the earth's magnetic field, and even cause damage to various electronic products and communication systems in severe cases." .”

"It can even change the direction of atmospheric circulation, lead to extreme severe weather, and cause global climate cooling!!"

The meteorological chief was startled suddenly.

He thought of the global cloud cover changes shown on the satellite cloud map...

In various countries, especially the country of cherry blossoms, the changes in atmospheric circulation are particularly obvious!

Could it be... that this blizzard really has something to do with the sun? !

He suddenly felt fear, if everything was caused by the sun, then the extinction of the sun in Xu Qiu's mouth might also become a reality!

He stood up and said, "So, now is the active period of sunspots?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head, "Our space observatory discovered something even more terrifying."

"By comparing the observation data with historical records, the observatory discovered a cycle with a span greater than the sunspot activity cycle, and the time of this cycle is 400 years."

"And this cycle is related to the belt-shaped directional jet below the surface of the sun..."

"It affects the size of the sun itself. The beginning and end of the cycle are the solar minimum period and the solar maximum period..."

"Know what this means? Every 400 years, the sun will enter what astronomy calls the solar minimum period, and during this period, the energy released by the sun will be significantly reduced!!"

"The good news is that the operation of various communication satellites and astronauts' space walks will usher in the safest period, and basically there will be no accidents caused by the sun's magnetic field, sun rotation and activities." "However, The bad news is far more dire..."

"Due to the weakening of the sun's activity, the energy released by the sun is significantly reduced, and the ozone layer in the blue star's stratosphere will become thinner, which will affect the insulation effect of the atmosphere, thereby changing the global climate and causing the global temperature to drop!" He found two documents in the bag, and said: "How much will it drop? We have joined forces with Jiazhou University in the Berry Country, and the Royal Academy and the Sword Sheath University in the Eagle Country. After hundreds of predictions, we finally came to the conclusion that it may It will drop by three to five degrees Celsius...”

"That may not sound like much, but in reality, even a one-degree drop in average global temperature could be catastrophic."

"You know, in the past 100 years, even though global warming has been severe, the ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctic have shrunk, and a large number of glaciers have melted. In fact, the global temperature has only increased by [-] degrees..."

"According to the deduction of our model, the next solar minimum should occur in the middle of this century, about 30 years away, but... no one knows whether it will be earlier, or even more terrible disasters will occur I "

.

Having said that, the middle-aged woman showed a hint of despair on her face.

Human technology is too insignificant in front of the vast universe.

Are their observations really correct?

If, this time, the directional jet stream under the surface of the sun changes dramatically, maybe... it will really cause the sun to go out?

She has no answer.

In other words, the entire human race has no answer.

The Great Eagle Museum curator, a history buff, stood up.

"The dynasties of the Dragon Kingdom have a cycle of 500 to 400 years. In our Great Eagle Empire, as well as the Orthopedic Kingdom, the Bear Kingdom, etc., many of the scepters change hands around [-] years... Could it be that this is all related to Solar minimum?!"

He muttered to himself, "The climate is getting colder, crop production is decreasing, and social conflicts are magnified and intensified. Damn it, is the change of dynasty in the Dragon Kingdom really related to this?!"

The Prime Minister looked around the entire venue, "Everyone, is there anyone familiar with the history of the Dragon Kingdom? Let's see if there really is a 400-year cycle of dynastic change!!"

Minister Wenhua of Yingguo stood up, his face pale, and said:

"I have researched the history of all countries in the world. What the curator of the Great Eagle Museum described is called the 'Little Ice Age' by our historians!"

"If we calculate according to the cycle of the solar minimum period... the first Little Ice Age from the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties to the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the second Little Ice Age in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, and the Western Jin Dynasty..."

"The end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty were the third Little Ice Age, and the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty were the fourth Little Ice Age."

"At that time, the temperature dropped sharply, causing drought in the north, and a large reduction in food production, resulting in decades of violent social turmoil and wars. The long-term famine was the root cause of the unrestricted expansion of wars."

"The population of Longguo dropped sharply by more than four-fifths in the first three 'Little Ice Ages', and the last sharp drop in population in the late Ming Dynasty was due to the drought-resistant and high-yield crops of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes passed down from the Americas! 〃 At this moment, the royal family Everyone in the meeting room was covered with a cloud.

"Prime Minister, start to keep out the cold, no one knows when this blizzard will stop!"

The prime minister gritted his teeth, nodded, and ordered: "From now on, power supply companies around the world will conduct centralized maintenance, rebuild broken lines, increase transformer capacity, etc. The power supply bureau will build a new [-]-volt insulated line, and add new transformers to relieve the pressure on electricity consumption." !"

"The supply of natural gas has skyrocketed, the supply of resources has been increased, and the role of gas storage for peak regulation..."

After a series of instructions, the entire Eagle Country is preparing for this blizzard that seems to never stop.

At this moment, the haze of blizzard, cold, and extinguished sun shrouded the people of Eagle Country.

Countries all over the world have begun to lay out cold-proof facilities in advance.

Countries around the world have opened gas storage tanks and storage tanks at coastal receiving stations, and the gas fields of upstream gas supply companies are producing at full capacity.

In terms of electricity consumption, some countries have added new power supply lines to ease the pressure on electricity consumption. At the same time, they have cooperated with the power restriction policy to temporarily stabilize the situation.

Many countries have begun to call for emergency coal resources!

But at this moment, in the Dragon Kingdom, the people stayed at home one after another, waiting for the blizzard to pass.

Power supply bureaus around the country have issued notices.

[State Grid]: Affected by the blizzard, the demand for electricity across the country has increased, and the crisis situation has been warned in advance. Our country is ready to deal with the extreme weather of heavy snowfall!Our country will ensure that residents and public services use electricity for people's livelihood. When necessary, all localities will implement an orderly electricity consumption plan to ensure that it does not involve people's livelihood areas or residents.
