Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 13 Elegy
After three strikes, five divided by two, Xiao Sheng put Han Dongxu's hands behind his back. He couldn't let the team leader feel that he was doing something bad.

This kind of small gap in mobilization and relocation occasionally occurs, but it does not cause too much trouble. Basically, the soldiers of the Security Department can handle it.

The Callisto base has very strict management of firearms. Except for the security department, it is impossible for ordinary people to carry firearms, so small fights like this are easily put down.

Although there were some minor riots, no one was stupid enough to directly gather people and raise flags to rebel. However, the occurrence of such things eventually planted some seeds of doubt in the people's psychology.

In fact, Yue Yuan knew about this situation, but he did not deliberately explain it. Time will tell everything, not to mention that this time is not long.

Callisto will soon move to the other side of Jupiter, and the intense supernova explosion period will last for a month. By then, the Callisto base will be greatly affected. This is what Yue Yuan is worried about. Because many scholars and experts dare not say anything definite.

If you can't stop it then, it will be all over.

Although after the live broadcast mobilization ended, Gan De and Mao, an expert in particle physics, calculated for a long time and came to the conclusion that there was a high probability that it could be blocked, but Yue Yuan was still worried.

As if they knew he was worried, not long after, Gander and experts in high-energy particle physics told him the good news, that is, even if it orbits out of Jupiter's obstruction, Callisto will not fall apart.

The reason is that the orbit of Jupiter is far enough away, coupled with the protection of Jupiter's magnetic field, and most of the Callisto base itself is underground, which provides good protection for the base, but the uppermost layer of the base exposed on the surface may be destroy.

Solar supernova explosions are different from normal supernovae. There was no data for reference before, so these experts did not dare to make a guarantee.

To this end, Yue Yuan personally led the team and worked hard to move the heavy machinery in the base, such as excavators, bulldozers, and various engineering robots and equipment, as hard as they could.

With these things, if the upper level of the base really collapses, it can be dug out, right?

Although I don’t know if there is any hope of living in the future, if I don’t work hard to prepare, if I do survive, I will end up dead.

The seven days passed quickly during the big move. Perhaps because Yue Yuan's prestige on Callisto was pretty good, the big move was generally smooth.

The price is just over 8, which makes the living conditions a bit crowded. Fortunately, there is a damaged spaceship, otherwise the bottom two floors alone would not be able to accommodate so many people.

The Callisto base has a total of five floors. There are no people on the upper three floors now. They have all been moved to the lower two floors and the damaged spacecraft buried deep underground. The personnel can move freely, because it is no longer a secret that the damaged spacecraft is there.

According to estimates, Callisto will pass behind Jupiter at this time and be exposed to the afterglow of the supernova.

People are anxiously waiting for the doomsday judgment.

Yue Yuan, together with the scientists and the leadership of the Security Department, quietly waited for the verdict of fate in the temporary command post at the bottom of the base.

Everything that needs to be done has been done, and all that is left is to pray.

Waiting to die is excruciating, and anticipating a miracle is very exciting.

During this contradictory time, people are suppressing their emotions.The busy relocation made them temporarily forget the pain of losing their loved ones. After they calmed down, all kinds of joys and sorrows couldn't help but flood their hearts.

Everyone is missing their deceased relatives and friends, missing Mother Earth, and missing the past glory of mankind.

Everything is gone, everything that mankind is proud of has been ruthlessly destroyed. All they can do now is to cry silently and pray silently.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva bless you!"

"The Jade Emperor, Lord Tathagata, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky bless us and keep us safe!"

"I beg Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun and keep the base safe and sound. This disciple has no fragrance at the moment. After this difficulty is overcome, the disciple will definitely make up for it for you."

"God Xihe, please be gentle." People began to look for sustenance, muttering words to those gods and Buddhas that they had never worshiped in the past, hoping that they would hear their prayers.

There are also relatively loyal believers who are calling for the only Lord in their hearts.

"Lord, I am your faithful servant. Please help your servant to survive the disaster!"

"There is only Allah above"

“O God, please do not abandon your servants.”

"Jehovah, Amen."

Many people are looking for spiritual sustenance, either temporary refuge or true believers.

But Yue Yuan didn't. He just hoped that the structure of the base would be strong enough, that the current human material technology would be advanced enough, that the design of the original base builder would be good enough, and that the earthquake resistance would be strong enough.

Time passed slowly, until at a certain time and space, a vibration like an earthquake was heard. Immediately afterwards, the rumbling sound of heavy objects collapsing one after another was mixed with the sound of steel collision, spreading from top to bottom to the entire base, spreading into People's tense hearts.

The vibration was not too strong, and the base withstood it.

Feeling the shock, Yue Yuan quickly raised his head and looked at the computer screens in front of him.

After the relocation, the screens in the original control room were moved to this temporary command post. These screens were connected to cameras throughout the base, but now the reality is only scenes on the third floor.

Everyone in the command post followed Yue Yuan's gaze and landed on the screens reflecting the uppermost scenes.

Looking at the screen, everyone first saw that the transition cabin used to enter and exit the base first appeared strange. The horizontal and vertical structures began to deform, and at the same time, a clicking sound was heard.Then, the airtight hatch deformed, the load-bearing beam became more and more twisted, and then it stepped down with a bang.

A hole appeared, and then a dark red torrent broke through the hole and rolled in, making the entire surveillance screen red.

It's magma. The hot magma continues to expand the hole as it pours in, and then the surrounding parts are heated to the melting point. More holes appear and more magma pours in.In a short period of time, the crazy influx of hot magma burned out the circuit and melted the camera.

Everyone looked away and found that more than one screen had turned black.

"Airlock No. 4 was destroyed!"

"Airlock No. 8 was destroyed!"

"Isolation cabin No. 7 deformed and the fireproof coating of isolation cabin No. 7 melted, and isolation cabin No. 7 was engulfed by lava."

"The magma seeped into the upper ceiling, the grille caught fire, coolant was released, and the load-bearing columns deformed."

"The first floor of the civil defense area is broken, and lava is pouring into the civil air defense cabin. The signal is interrupted, and screens 4-8 are switched to connect to the camera of route 667."

Amidst the reports from the operation monitoring staff, the screens went out one after another and lit up one after another.

"The main load-bearing beam No. 7-E on the first floor melted, the main load-bearing beam 16-H melted, the lobby collapsed, and the signal was interrupted and the connection was switched."

Yue Yuan listened to the announcements and stared at the disasters unfolding on the screens. He clenched his fists nervously and held his breath, feeling increasingly heavy.
