My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 19 The Great Flare Strikes

The Lantern Festival in the capital is no less lively than the New Year's Eve.

A grand firework show, a wonderful light show, a sea of ​​lanterns in the streets...

What a picture of prosperity!
After dinner, Xu Dong and his wife took their twin sisters and strolled on the street, where they would go wherever they were.

Until more than nine o'clock in the evening, the four people returned to the courtyard with no end in sight.

"Why did you come back so late? Cocoa and they have to start school tomorrow!" Xu Ma nags.

The little kid Coco didn't feel sleepy at all, he pulled Ma Xu's sleeve to show off:

"Honey, the lanterns on the street are so beautiful, there are also big fireworks, and there are many young ladies wearing summer clothes. I want to wear summer clothes too."

"Okay, okay, when you and Lele are on vacation, grandma will take you to the pedestrian street to buy them." Xu's mother spoiled.

"Grandma is so nice, I want to be a heroine."

"The heroine is not good, the princess is the best..."

After a while, the time quickly passed ten thirty, and after a simple wash, the family finally fell asleep.

Xu Dong was leaning against the bed, chatting with his wife while watching a live broadcast of a sports event overseas.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just look at the picture.

"Husband, it's getting late, hurry up to sleep." Yang Lina urged.

Xu Dongliang brightened the screen of his mobile phone, "Go to sleep first, I can watch football, tonight's game is very important."

Of course, these are all excuses.

Yang Lina must be really tired, and a slight snoring sounded soon.

……

An hour later, the solar flare arrived as promised, and this historical moment will be remembered by all:

Yanjing Time: 23:35
London time: 15:35
New York time: 12:35
San Francisco Time: 8:35
Watching the sudden interruption of the live broadcast signal on the mobile phone, Xu Dong knew that the first round of solar superflares had reached Bluestar.

According to reports from previous lives, the flare lasted for nearly an hour, and its power was equivalent to the energy generated by the simultaneous explosion of 1500 trillion giant hydrogen bombs.

It was the most violent solar flare ever observed by humans, and it even changed the course of human civilization to a great extent.

Just 48 minutes later, a terrifying prevention and control alarm suddenly sounded over Yanjing, the whole family was awakened, and the triplets even cried.

While busy getting dressed, Yang Lina asked Xu Dong loudly, "What's the matter, is there an earthquake?"

Xu Dong shook his head and handed the phone to his wife with an emergency text message on it.

Yang Lina hurriedly took the phone and looked at it. The text message was very long, and the general meaning was as follows:
An hour earlier, the sun had exploded with a large flare that battered parts of the Americas, Europe, Africa and West Asia.

In order to deal with the flare-up again, except for a few special places, all parts of the country will be powered off at [-]:[-] in the morning. Please prepare in time.

Starting today, schools will be closed, factories will be closed, and businesses will be closed. The notice requires all residents to stay at home unless necessary to avoid harm.

Signature: Daxia Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Committee
"Husband, what's the matter with this solar flare?" Yang Lina was confused.

"You didn't take high school geography class?"

At this time, Xu Dong's mentality is not bad, but he still has the heart to joke.

Yang Lina also put on a hygienic eye, and Xu Dong quickly explained: "Solar flare, you can understand that the sun suddenly erupted, and its energy will rush directly towards the blue star."

"Then Blue Star won't explode, right?" Yang Lina asked in horror.

"It shouldn't be." Xu Dong comforted, "It can only damage electrical equipment at most, and it can also affect communications. It may also affect hydrology and climate. It should be impossible to destroy Blue Star."

Yang Lina patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief for a while, but she immediately asked, "Then does it harm the body? Will there be radiation?"

"I don't know about this. Anyway, whether it affects or not, we will stay at home and not go anywhere..."

Before Xu Dong finished speaking, the two Coco sisters, wearing pajamas, rushed in in a panic with bare feet.

"Mom, Dad, I'm afraid..."

"Daughter, mom and dad are here, don't be afraid!"

Xu Dong hugged Lele, Yang Lina hugged Coco, and the couple coaxed their children in their own ways.

Soon, the twins' emotions stabilized, and the four went downstairs to Xu's father and Xu's mother's bedroom.

"Dad, Mom, are you okay!" Xu Dong greeted.

"We're fine! Dongzi, what happened outside?" Xu Ma asked anxiously.

"Didn't you read the text messages?"

"We don't have time to look at our mobile phones. Dabao and the three of them have been crying non-stop, and they just stopped."

As Xu Ma replied, she patted Xiaobao lightly.

Yang Lina hurriedly repeated the content of the emergency briefing, and Xu Dong also expressed his speculation.

After hearing this, Dad Xu said strangely: "Is this flare still divided into good people and bad people? Why is our country okay, but staring at foreign countries to destroy them?"

"how can that be?"

Xu Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained:

"Our country is now on the back side of the sun, that is, at night, and the sun can't shine on us, so of course the impact will be small.

European and American countries are now facing the sun, that is, in broad daylight, and they have been directly impacted, so the damage will be so great. "

Xu Dong pursed his lips and continued:

"Actually, not only our country, but also the neighboring countries around us should not be affected too much.

In just a few hours, it will be dawn. At that time, we will face the impact just like the European and American regions now, so the country will decisively cut off the power. "

"So that's what happened. So, our country is lucky this time!" Dad Xu gloated.

Xu Dong shook his head subconsciously, and it is estimated that Xu Dad would not be able to laugh soon.

Not only Daxia, but the whole world underestimated the power of this super flare.

The destruction of electrical equipment is at most an appetizer, and the destruction of the atmosphere is the most fatal blow.

This will be an unprecedented catastrophe.

Back in front of her eyes, Xu Ma suddenly asked a key question: "When will this yao...ban end?"

Normally, no one knows the answer to this question, but Xu Dong is a rebirth, so he is the exception.

"About a week!"

"Fortunately, it's not too long. Seeing how serious you said, I thought it would take several months!" Xu Ma smiled.

"It's not too short a week. The water and electricity are cut off. The countryside is fine, but the city is probably going to be a mess." Yang Lina said with emotion.

These words inspired Dad Xu, who suddenly slapped his thigh hard with excitement on his face.

Xu Ma was startled and glared angrily:

"Why are you crazy, you scared Dabao and the others, and I'm not finished with you."

Dad Xu quickly explained: "I tell you, this power outage, the things in our store are going to sell like crazy. I'll go and raise the price tomorrow."

"Dad, what time is it, are you still thinking about doing business?" Xu Dong was speechless.

Moreover, the goods in the store become more valuable the further back they go, and they are now on sale, which is typical of picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons.
