Chapter 253 Gao Yang's Concerns

The countdown is over.

Solar storms with speeds reaching hundreds of kilometers per second blow through the orbit of Jupiter.

Although this solar storm is the most powerful in human history, for Jupiter, this small solar storm is obviously not enough.

In the face of Jupiter's powerful magnetic field, the raging solar storm cleverly turned an angle and bypassed Jupiter's huge body.

Jupiter under solar storm

"A large amount of X-rays produced at the poles of Jupiter were detected."

Zero's reminder sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

The next moment, in the holographic projection directly in front, the area where the X-rays were generated was marked with a special color.

That's Jupiter's aurora under a solar storm.

Unlike auroras on Earth, Jupiter's auroras exist in the form of high-energy X-rays, which contain hundreds of times more energy than Earth's aurora!

The invisible solar storm crossed the orbit of Jupiter and rushed directly towards Saturn behind it.

Like Jupiter, Saturn has its own magnetic field.

"Speaking of which, if there are still jellyfish on Titan, will this solar storm affect them?"

Gao Yang, who was sitting in the corner, quietly asked his teammates.

Zhao Zijie rolled his eyes angrily: "Say, why do you care so much about those jellyfish?"

"Don't worry about the solar storm. If it develops normally, those jellyfish will have been wiped out."

Gao Yang sneered, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes: "I don't know why, but I always feel like something is wrong."

"It's like something landed on Titan."

Zhao Zijie ignored Gao Yang.

After a moment of silence, Gao Yang smacked his lips gently and spoke again:

"Zijie, tell me, is it possible that some of the jellyfish have gained consciousness and are deliberately hiding from us?"

Zhao Zijie glanced at Gao Yang with a very strange look: "..."

"Wait a minute, I'll take you to Dr. Wen's place."

"I think you need a psychological evaluation."

Gao Yang: "..."

"Ahem! Pretend I didn't say anything!" Gao Yang waved his hands repeatedly and subconsciously shrank away from Zhao Zijie, "So, will Titan be affected by this solar storm?"

Zhao Zijie opened his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know how to solve his teammates' strange situation.

"Not really."

A gentle voice came from the side.

"Professor Lu?!" Gao Yang hurriedly stood up from his seat and saluted Lu Yongchang.

Seeing this, Zhao Zijie also hurriedly tried to stand up from the chair.

"Sit down, sit down." Lu Yongchang happily sat beside the two of them, "What? Are you still obsessed with Titan?"

Gao Yang lowered his head in embarrassment.

As a starship pilot who has received various trainings, he naturally knows that his thoughts are not normal.

But he didn't know what was going on. Ever since he left Titan, he always felt uneasy.

After thinking for a long time to no avail, he could only ask his teammates a question.

Seeing Gao Yang's expression, Lu Yongchang reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, with the protection of Saturn's magnetic field, solar storms will not threaten Titan."

The worry in Gao Yang's eyes became even stronger.

He hesitated for a long time and then asked a question.

"Professor Lu, if there are still jellyfish on Titan, will they pose a threat to us when they develop into advanced civilizations in the future?"

Lu Yongchang was suddenly startled, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Hiss...this question..."

"Professor, just think I'm talking nonsense!" Gao Yang showed a bit of regret in his eyes, reaching out and tapping his head lightly, "Zijie is right, I may have to go to Dr. Wen. "

"...It's quite interesting." Lu Yongchang said the second half of the sentence, his eyes sparkling with interest.

"Come on, come on, I just have nothing to do now that I'm hiding behind Jupiter. I'll give you a good analysis."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand in the air.

Zero immediately controlled a holographic projection generator to present a holographic image in front of him.

Gao Yang and Zhao Zijie stared blankly at the excited Lu Yongchang.

"Zero, simulate the solar system in the next few years."

In the holographic image, the fireball located in the center of the solar system emits a dazzling light after approaching the earth.

A helium flash occurred.

The Earth was instantly melted into a ball of lava, which then fell into the expanding interior of the Sun.

Subsequently, the power of the solar helium flash is transmitted to the distance.

Mars, Jupiter, Saturn...

"Zero, where is Titan now?"

When the energy released by the helium flash reached the orbit of Saturn, Lu Yongchang asked softly.

The holographic image in front of him instantly enlarged.

Titan, running quietly behind Saturn, was extremely lucky to escape this huge damage.

"Oh, you're lucky." Lu Yongchang's eyes lit up, he turned to Gao Yang and pursed his lips, "Did you see it?"

"Titan's luck is much better than that of the Earth. With Saturn as its backing, not only is it unaffected by solar storms, but it is also not damaged by helium flashes."

"If there are still jellyfish on Titan, they have been lucky enough to escape the biggest disaster in recent times."

"Of course, we are not so lucky. Now there are only four gaseous planets left among the eight planets in the solar system."

"So, we can only 'borrow' a solid planet suitable for survival next door."

As he spoke, Lv Yongchang raised his hand and gently swiped across the holographic projection: "Zero, speed up."

Time passed faster.

"Now that the sun has become a white dwarf, it can no longer release a lot of heat like before. Correspondingly, the surface temperature of Titan will be lower." Lv Yongchang shrugged and reached out to touch Titan in the projection.

"But don't worry."

"The temperature inside Titan is not low. This energy mainly comes from the high pressure inside the planet, the decay of the core radioactive material, and the friction of its core material caused by Saturn's gravity."

"Therefore, these jellyfish are likely to survive."

"But it's not certain what will happen next."

"After Jupiter absorbed a lot of matter thrown out by the sun, it first became a brown dwarf and then a red dwarf. In this process, I won't say much about how chaotic the solar system is."

"The point is that this process is very long and will last at least tens of thousands of years."

"Even if these jellyfish successfully escape this disaster, they will still have to face Jupiter becoming a red dwarf."

"Once the new orbits of Saturn and Titan are far away from the red dwarf If they get too close, these jellyfish will face another catastrophe. "

Lv Yongchang looked at Gao Yang with a smile: "Do you understand now?"

"Your concerns are probably unnecessary."

Gao Yang nodded blankly: "Thank you, thank you Professor Lu."

Lv Yongchang waved his hand, closed the holographic image in front of him, and stood up from the chair: "Okay, I should go too."

"After the solar storm is over, we have to rush to the Kuiper Belt."

(Let me explain here that the real helium flash only occurs in the core of the sun. Most of the energy of the helium flash is used to promote changes in the core, and a small part of the energy will be blocked by the hydrogen layer on the surface of the sun. Simply put, the internal reaction of the sun at that time was extremely violent, but no situation could be seen on the surface.)
