Chapter 251 Venus falls into the sun, bunker plan

Two months later.

Jupiter.

In the orbit of the huge Jupiter, dozens of [rays] silently absorb the three helium resources in Jupiter's atmosphere.

Although humans have begun their evacuation plans, they still have to stay on their posts until the last moment.

Even a tiny gram of helium three is extremely important for the human fleet that is about to sail.

...

Back of Jupiter.

A fleet of 1,251 Nebula-class starships silently adjusts its route, keeping itself on the side of Jupiter facing away from the sun.

In the fleet, there is a starship that is particularly eye-catching.

Its extremely large size and the position in the center of the fleet all show its unique position.

That is the flagship of human civilization: [Earth].

The [Earth], which inherited the previous generation flagship name, reached 2,500 meters in length, which is 1,000 meters longer than the other starships.

As the saying goes, one inch long and one inch strong. As the flagship of human civilization, [Earth] naturally has unrivalled performances in other nebula-class starships.

In addition to having independent large-capacity material storage units and independent large laboratories, [Earth] has thicker armor, stronger power system and more powerful weapon system!

In addition, the Earth also stores a large number of biological gene samples.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the human fleet is unexpected, with the [Earth], human civilization still has a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

...

【Earth】.

The huge command center is filled with an atmosphere of anxiety and anxiety.

Thousands of top scientists and starship pilots sat in their seats with nervous expressions.

Everyone's eyes stared at the huge holographic images directly in front of them.

In the holographic projection, real-time observation images of the sun and Venus are presented.

The observation image is provided by the observation satellite in Jupiter's orbit, so it has a delay of about 43 minutes from the real image.

"Zero, how long is there to get the impact?"

Lv Yongchang, who was standing on the podium, frowned and asked in a deep voice.

The huge holographic projection picture directly in front of me changed instantly.

A countdown was presented to everyone.

【00:48:36】

"Venus is expected to fall into the sun's atmosphere in 48 minutes and 36 seconds." Zero's voice did not fluctuate at all.

"Is there only 48 minutes left?"

Lu Yongchang's face changed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he spoke again: "Everyone, check the status of each starship again."

"This bunker plan, no mistakes are allowed!"

Time passes by minute by minute, and the countdown returns to zero.

"Professor, the sun falling of Venus has happened."

Zero plain voice sounded in the command center.

The next second, the countdown in the holographic screen refreshes again.

【00:42:45】

This is the countdown to the specific picture of the sun falling from humans.

...

The countdown is reset to zero again.

The holographic image has changed a little.

It is very similar to the scene where Mercury falls into the sun, but the whole scene is even more grand and spectacular.

Under the deceleration of the solar atmosphere, Venus is unable to maintain its original orbit and sets straight towards the inside of the sun.

At this time, Venus had lost all its atmosphere and, like Mercury in the past, became a huge lava ball.

The moment it fell into the inside of the sun, the sun's corona layer was "mumped" and a huge hole was suddenly "dumped"!

The brightness of the impact area instantly increased, and at the same time, endless coronal matter was ejected into space!

The power of Venus falling from the sun is obviously much greater than that of Mercury. The coronal matter that was ejected was even accelerated to the escape speed in a short period of time, flying straight away from the sun!

"The solar storm is expected to arrive at Jupiter in ten days." Zero's reminder sounded just right, "With Jupiter's magnetic field 14 times the Earth's, we can escape this solar storm safely..."

Lu Yongchang didn't care about Zero's reminder, but just stared at the ball of coronal matter that was ejected.

"Zero, don't worry about the solar storm problem for now."

A little nervousness appeared in Lu Yongchang's voice: "Calculate the trajectory of that coronal matter!"

In just a few seconds, Zero gave the answer.

"Professor, according to the simulation results, these coronal matter will deflect under Jupiter's gravity and will eventually be captured by Jupiter."

Lu Yongchang subconsciously held his breath: "How long will it take?"

Not only Lv Yongchang, but every scientific researcher here held his breath and quietly waited for Zero's answer.

"The calculation results show that the capture time is five years later."

A breath sounded in the command hall.

"I'm scared to death..." Fang Xu reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "What happened five years later has nothing to do with us."

"Yes!" Cao Liangcai's voice rang out, "I guess we were all outside the Kuiper belt at that time. How did Jupiter have nothing to do with us."

"Academician Fang, you don't know. At that moment, I felt cold sweat coming out behind me!"

Unlike the relaxed appearance of everyone around him, Lu Yongchang still had a solemn and serious look on his face.

"Zero, based on the situation where Venus falls into the sun, simulate the picture of the earth falling into the sun."

A few seconds later, a simulated picture of the Earth falling sun appeared in the holographic projection directly in front of it.

It is slightly different from Venus, when the earth falls into the sun, helium flashes burst at the same time.

But the same is that the Earth's fallen sun also "smashed" some coronal matter.

"Zero, roughly estimate how much its mass would rise if all of these coronal matter was captured by Jupiter?"

This time, zero "thinking" for a few minutes.

"Professor, if there are too many variables, the calculation results will be very different from the actual situation."

"It's okay, just tell me a range." Lu Yongchang waved his hand and said, "No precise data is needed."

"Jupiter's mass will rise to between 5.11 and 23.17 times now."

The moment the zero sound sounded, the command center of [Earth] was quiet.

"Brown dwarf?"

Fang Xu's voice broke the silence in the command center.

"Yes, Academician Fang." Zero responded in an orderly manner.

"After the mass increases, the probability of Jupiter becoming a brown dwarf reaches 27.96%.

The so-called brown dwarf is equivalent to a star with incomplete development.

Its mass does not meet the minimum threshold for becoming a star, but it is much heavier than ordinary gas giants.

Unlike stars, brown dwarfs are not mass enough to maintain nuclear fusion of normal stars, but they can undergo deuterium fusion inside them.

Therefore, the surface temperature of brown dwarfs will be much lower than that of stars, and generally will not exceed 3000k.

"27.96%, this probability is no less..." Lu Yongchang murmured to himself.
