Chapter 1094: Sun Problem

"The spirit of the sun will expand more and more. From this point on, it will rush from the light of life to the sea of ​​death, and finally become a white dwarf star in the scientific definition, which is the name of the hot and dense core of a dead star."

Gu Qing told the story of the recent solar flare in a mythical way at the meeting of the Titan Star Department.

Although some of the geniuses here know that this day is still far away, there are still many science men who are not aware of this matter.

People like Zhang Tianhao, Chu Ci and others were looking seriously at this video about the sun released by the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory of the British Space Agency at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

Blue Star has not been fully explored by humans, and all the manifestations of other planets in the universe are so magical and unknown to humans who cannot truly escape from the earth.

“The sun is the central star in the solar system where our blue star is located, and its activities have always had a profound impact on the blue star.

The solar flare that happened today actually happened on April 1st, and it also caused some riots at that time.

Although it seems far away to us, the energy of solar flares far exceeds the combined energy produced by all the nuclear power plants currently on the ground of our blue star.

In addition to throwing away energy, these flares will also release intense rays and charged particles while ejecting billions of tons of high-energy matter from the surface of the sun within a few hours, and these materials will also quickly spread to the entire solar system. Our blue star's magnetic field will also interact with it, triggering a series of physical and electromagnetic phenomena.

The solar flare on April 1st had a great impact on our Blue Star's communication system, satellite navigation and power grid in parts of Europe. It not only caused widespread power outages and communication interruptions, but also triggered a series of dangerous accidents.

In Britain, communications and power outages led to deaths and injuries at a construction project. Some traffic lights also failed, causing dozens of cars to be rear-ended in areas where the signals failed, not to mention other economic losses.

If we push forward, twelve years ago, the intense radiation and charged particles produced by a solar flare caused damage to electronic equipment and satellite circuits in the atmosphere of the blue star, causing a banking system in the United States to fail after the electronic equipment failed. It was immediately hacked, causing millions of dollars in damage. "

But so what?

Let us find a way to solve the problem of secondary disasters caused by solar flares?

Some young researchers in the Titan Star Department are thinking this way.

But Gu Qing didn't seem to notice how off-topic his talk was.

He displayed the climate change and dynamic data of the sun in recent years on Blue Star on the home screen, then pointed to the data in the first column and asked: "In the past hundred years, has the sun's activity been a bit too high? "

Looking at the tiny differences in the numbers after the decimal points, some people didn't care, but some people suddenly became energetic.

Li Lun, an old academician of Xia Ke Academy of Sciences who works in aerospace engineering, adjusted the frame of his glasses and squinted his eyes skillfully.

In aerospace projects, not to mention data with one decimal place, even data changes with ten decimal places are extremely meaningful.

He remembered that he had seen early warning reports from the Climate Center at some meetings before. Whether it was the Nor Nino phenomenon or ordinary high temperature and high pressure, they were extremely important environmental data for aerospace projects, so the reports he saw were more There are many more ordinary people, and they have a deeper understanding of this aspect than people outside the industry.

"There is indeed a big problem. According to common sense, after the large flare on April 1st, the sun stopped for a short period of time. There will be no X-level large flares at all. At most, there will only be small flares. Appear.

Only two months have passed, and a flare phenomenon that is even more terrifying than the last time has erupted. This is unusual and requires in-depth research and exploration. "

There is no suspicion. When old educated youths who have lived in the mountains and fields encounter such an incredible problem, they will only think about how to understand and solve it.

Gu Qing continued: "When the last solar flare broke out in April, one of our small teams applied to use part of the computing power of three supercomputers. After training our AI on algorithms in astrophysics and other disciplines, Instilled with the accurate and well-founded data that we have access to so far, we have used our AI to conduct predictions and deductions that last for a thousand hours.

The prediction results show that our sun is in the 25th cycle of activity, and is expected to reach a peak value around 1025 in the summer lunar ephemeris.

Yes, that's right. Next year will be the core node of the peak value, but this does not mean that this year and the year after will be safe.

X-level flares will not even occur once every two months. Under special circumstances, it is possible to occur once a month. At that time, we may face frequent electromagnetic storms, multiple failures of satellite communications, and the possibility of electronic equipment Sexual errors will affect scientific research and production. "

When saying this, Gu Qing suddenly pursed his lips and shook his head.

Then he immediately returned to his serious expression and said: "When faced with this kind of emergency, Britain and Uncle Sam have already given us bad homework to develop Guo Jia.

Last time in Britain, public transportation and infrastructure failed to withstand inspections, so a series of problems arose. As a special concern area for secondary disasters caused by solar flares, Uncle Sam may not perform better than Britain.

The series of problems caused by this will even cause the sensitive and greedy Uncle Sam to make some strange but useful actions. As an important member of today's Daxia technology companies, our company has embarrassed British technology companies during this period. , may be attacked by Uncle Sam at the same time. Although you are engaged in scientific research and do not need to worry about this in the short term, you can still inform your classmates, teachers and other relatives and friends working abroad to pay attention to personal safety and be prepared. "

When Gu Qing said this, most people in the conference room nodded in agreement. At the same time, they seemed to know why their big boss called everyone together to talk about this seemingly unrelated matter.

The big boss was afraid that he had received some advice from some top figures while he was in Yanjing, so he revealed some information to prepare himself and others.

However, the scientists and engineers who can enter the Titanium department, even the ordinary undergraduates who work in the Titanium park as park services, can withstand the test.

Therefore, in their circle of friends, there really are no people with whom they have extremely close relationships and who are extremely reluctant to return to China.
