Turning Despair into Hope

"Gan Boshi."

Perhaps the matter was too sudden, Yue Yuan felt his throat was a little dry, but he still tried to mentally command himself to remain calm, so that his voice would not tremble.

"Gan Boshi, perhaps you don't know yet, the matter is far more serious than the Centaurus Trinary Star System disaster, not only the Trinary Star, but the Sun has also experienced the same thing."

Yue Yuan suppressed his voice, but when Gan De heard his words, he suddenly widened his eyes, as if he thought he had misheard, and trembled, "You, what did you say? The Sun also..."

Yue Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Gan De's arm. He clearly felt Gan De's body tremble at the moment he grabbed it.

"Yes, before you came." Yue Yuan looked him in the eye and answered affirmatively.

There was no mistake.

The characteristics shown by the Sun, combined with the last messages from Yinghuo Base and Earth, were exactly the same as the Centaurus Trinary Star System.

Since Gan De had already drawn this conclusion for the Centaurus Trinary Star System, then the Sun must be the same.

Logically speaking, none of these four Stars, including the Sun, had reached the end of their evolution, and it was impossible for them to experience a Supernova Explosion at this Time. Especially Proxima Centauri, as a Red Dwarf Star, its lifespan could reach hundreds of billions of years, but it still exploded.

In the face of Iron-like data, no matter how absurd it was, Yue Yuan could only believe it.

The abnormal explosion of four Stars could only mean that this was not a natural occurrence.

"It's over, it's all over, Earth is all over." Someone muttered to themselves.

"The Sun's Supernova Explosion must have been attacked by Aliens..."

"Supernova Explosion, not only Earth, the entire Solar System is going to be finished, Humanity is finished!"

Yes, how fierce is a Supernova Explosion? At such a close distance, Humanity in the Solar System had no way to resist. Not to mention Earth, even on Mars, they would be reduced to ashes.

Hiding deep underground was useless, the entire Earth would be blown away, there was nowhere to hide, nowhere to avoid, because one Astronomical Unit was too close for a Supernova Explosion.

For a Time, everyone felt utterly hopeless.

Yes, it was over.

Even Yue Yuan was in a low mood in this atmosphere. He was even about to wave his hand and let everyone leave, to find a place where he felt more comfortable to stay and wait for the Descent of death.

But at this moment, Gan De took a stride forward and came to a computer in the office, and then operated it with a crackling sound.

When he was done, he looked up at everyone, his eyes with a little crystal tears, "Maybe, we still have Hope."

Hearing this, Yue Yuan was the first to lean over and look at the computer screen, and everyone followed suit.

The computer showed an orbital picture of Jupiter and its Satellites. Everyone noticed that in the picture, the two poles of the huge Jupiter in the middle were animated with hazy lines, which surrounded the entire Jupiter system.

These are Jupiter Magnetic Field fictitious lines.

"Are you saying that the Jupiter Magnetic Field can help us resist the ultra-strong Gamma Ray Burst damage from the Supernova Explosion?" Yue Yuan asked.

As he asked, Gan De was still pressing on the keyboard with a crackling sound. As he pressed, a series of numbers kept flashing on the computer screen, and the fictitious lines representing the Magnetic Field range of the Jupiter Magnetic Field also changed color constantly.

Soon, Gan De finally pressed the Enter key, and then stared at the screen, and said, "Yes, no, no, it can resist the Gamma Ray Burst from the Centaurus Trinary Star System, but not from the Sun. But, Jupiter itself can, because it is big enough, if we are lucky enough."

"Explain it clearly." Yue Yuan was very anxious.

Gan De was also anxious, so he did not explain, but asked, "What Time did the Yinghuo Base information break off?"

"Seven minutes ago," Yue Yuan replied immediately.

Upon hearing Yue Yuan's words, Gan De immediately danced his hands across the keyboard again, the computer screen changing from the Jupiter system to the entire Solar System.

Soon, streams of data were input into the model.

As soon as the results came out, Gan De said directly, "God bless us, we still have hope, we still have hope! The interruption of the Yinghuo Base signal should be a sign of the Sun's eruption. Based on the current distances between Jupiter, Mars, and the Sun, the most intense Gamma Ray Burst will reach Jupiter in 28 minutes."

"And now..." Gan De pointed to the relative positions of Jupiter and Callisto, then continued, "The Jupiter Magnetic Field is defending us from the Gamma Ray Burst from the Centaurus Trinary Star System. In addition, due to Jupiter's Tidal Lock on Callisto, our Base is constantly facing Jupiter."

"You see, thanks to the Jupiter Magnetic Field and Callisto's own protection, the damage we receive from the Gamma Ray Burst from the Centaurus Trinary Star System is greatly reduced. Theoretically, we won't be fatally affected under their protection. That's why we're still alive and talking."

Understood, Jupiter is a magic shield, and Callisto is a physical shield.

Gan De didn't look at the expressions of the others. He continued pointing at the screen, saying, "The key is the Sun. Theoretically, even with Tidal Lock, Callisto can't completely withstand this Gamma Ray Burst. Even though Jupiter's Tidal Lock on Callisto prevents us from being killed by the Gamma Ray Burst as the Planet rotates."

"Firstly, because the Sun is too close to us, and secondly, because Callisto has no Magnetic Field. Fortunately, we're lucky. When the Sun's Gamma Ray Burst arrived, Callisto was just behind Jupiter, and Jupiter blocked the most fatal blow for us."

"But the Supernova Explosion is not just Gamma Ray Bursts, there's also the subsequent Mass Ejection. Callisto's Planet Orbit period is 16.7 days. When the Sun's subsequent Mass Ejection arrives, we should be in this position."

Gan De added, "I don't know if our Base will be able to withstand it then, because after the Sun undergoes a Supernova Explosion, the Planet Orbits of the more distant Planets in the Solar System are very likely to be blown askew by the powerful energy, and may even become Rogue Planets as a result. In such a chaotic system, we can't predict, and it's even possible that Jupiter's Tidal Lock on Callisto will be broken up."

Because he knew Time was of the essence, Gan De spoke very quickly.

Yue Yuan also understood that since there was still Hope, they couldn't just sit and wait for death.

He knew that things had happened too suddenly, and it was possible that the ordinary people in Callisto Base hadn't even realized what was happening.

But now was not the Time to worry about that. Having stabilized himself slightly, Yue Yuan immediately said to Zhu Pete next to him, "Pi Te, immediately take people to notify all departments and have them move the most important equipment to the bottom of the Base as quickly as possible. No, move the most important equipment into the Spaceship, especially the technical data. Pack it all up and tell them to hurry."
