    Chapter 11 The magnetic storm is coming ()

    After finally getting rid of the annoyed Wen Jingxin, Yi Lexiang breathed a sigh of relief.  This person was also too unyielding. Several questions were answered in reverse, and several times he almost let it slip if he wasn't clever enough.

    Sitting on the edge of the bed, Yi Lexiang felt a little happy when he thought that he would be a second lieutenant and platoon leader in the future.  I slowly stretched my somewhat stiff body. Being locked up in the isolation room these past few days was really suffocating.  It's time to go out and say hello to the sun that I haven't seen for a long time. It must be time for Hua Chengwu and the others to lift their isolation. By the way, I also want to say hello together. After all, they can be regarded as brothers who have lived life and death together.  Yi Lexiang stood up and walked out, when he suddenly heard a familiar shout coming from the corridor.

    "Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang!" It was the unique loud voice of "Bear Bear".

    "Didn't you say that Axiang will be released from prison today? Where are the people? Hasn't this guy been released yet?" Yi Lexiang walked out of the room and saw "Bad Bear" and several comrades from the first regiment standing at the other end of the corridor.  "Bear" was lowering his head and yelling at several other people.

    "Here he is!" Yi Lexiang felt warm in his heart. After months of sharing life and death, these passionate men have already regarded him as a brother. It feels so good.

    A few people were laughing and joking as they walked towards the door. Outside the door, Hua Chengwu and the others were leaning against the imitation metal wall of the isolation room in twos and threes. They had long been impatient to wait.

    "What? Axiang still can't bear to leave?" Hua Chengwu joked as soon as they met. Before Yi Lexiang could answer, he heard someone shouting next to him:

    "Mascot, why are you dawdling behind so slowly? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

    "Captain?" Not only the regiment leader, but also the regiment leader and chief of staff came to welcome the team to end their isolation.  Prepare a small celebration and congratulate Yi Lexiang on his promotion.

    After the rescue activity, many veterans were transferred to the Fourth Regiment as grassroots officers.  However, Yi Lexiang was the only one who was promoted to military rank, mainly because Yi Lexiang's original military rank was too low.  The others are all veterans with seven or eight years of military service. They were captain-level officers before being transferred to the task force, and most of them served in the special forces. Their military ranks were originally high, so this time they were only promoted to positions but not to promotions.  Military rank.  Yi Lexiang was the only one in the entire task force to be promoted to both position and military rank.  I believe that if Yi Lexiang had not joined the task force and carried out such a top-secret operation, it would have been impossible for him to jump seven levels in a row from private to second lieutenant.  Of course, even so, his military rank is still somewhat low among the entire task force.

    In the past ten years, there has been no promotion of such a large span in the army for a long time. In a sense, Yi Lexiang will also be recorded in the history of the army as a special case in this regard.  Everyone couldn't help but sigh at this boy's good luck, and lamented that they, soldiers who were born in peaceful times, were both lucky and unlucky.  At this time, they did not realize that the human civilization outside was already undercurrent, and the fragile peace was on the verge of collapse.  By the time they left Anokhi and returned to human civilization after experiencing all kinds of hardships, the world outside was already raging with war, and things and people had changed.

    Back to the station of the first regiment, the regiment leader asked the canteen to prepare some delicious food. In order to welcome the brothers who were sent to serve in the fourth regiment, and for Yi Lexiang's unprecedented rapid promotion, everyone had a good meal.  There was no wine in the base, so the regiment leader gave a toast with water instead of wine: "For the dead brothers, for the living people to live better, for the glory of the first regiment, and for our mascot, everyone cheers!"

    "Cheers!" "Victory!" "Glory!" The excited soldiers raised the cups filled with water in their hands and shouted loudly, with tears flowing down their cheeks inadvertently.  Yi Lexiang couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of the fallen veterans and the familiar faces that had laughed and cursed, but he always followed the crowd's shouting and roaring with a smile on his face.  The clear water in this cup is like strong wine, like hot blood, like the battlefield filled with smoke and blood, making people immersed in it!

    While Yi Lexiang and the others were feasting, the fleet in space discovered a new situation.

    Space Fleet Academy of Sciences research ship "Giant"

    "Dean Tang, please take a look at this observation report." An academician of the Academy of Sciences handed a report to Vice President Tang Kangyi of the Academy of Sciences.

    "This is the latest observation report of the Anokhi Sun by the No. 2 probe ship. They found that huge sunspots are forming, and the scale is very large. I am afraid that the intensity of the solar storm that will follow will far exceed the limit that the fleet can withstand.  "The scientific team is calculating the possible damage and timing of the solar flare."

    "Move the No. 3 research ship there and closely monitor all conditions of the sun. This is a star field unknown to mankind, and there may be many cosmic disasters that we don't know about. We must take warning from what happened to the exploration fleet and cannot take it lightly.  You continue to follow the relevant reports, and now the entire task forceIt is too dangerous for them to stay in Anokhi's outer space orbit.  I must explain the situation to Lieutenant General Bu Yun. As soon as your calculation results come out, send them to me immediately.  "

    "OK"

    Task force flagship ¡®Dawn¡¯.

    "Lieutenant General Bu Yun, the whole situation is like this. We must make a decision early, and they will send the calculation results soon." The silver-haired Dean Tang Kangyi was a little excited.  Lieutenant General Bu Yun gently stroked his forehead. Alas, I really have a headache.

    "Academy of Science, do you think the situation on Anokhi is safe?" Lieutenant General Bu Yun asked after pondering for a while.  When Tang Kangyi heard Bu Yun ask this, he understood what he meant.

    "No problems have been found so far. The members of the First Division and the exploration team have not found any abnormal behavior." Dean Tang Kangyi thought for a moment and said, "In principle, I think there are no deadly viruses or other microorganisms on Anokhi planet. However,  ¡­¡±

    "Huh? What's the problem?"

    "The attack power of the native organisms on the planet Annoki is probably much higher than we originally expected. Currently, there are as many as 70 or 80 species of native organisms that can threaten human safety. Once a full-scale landing is carried out, there will be casualties"

    "If we are stranded in space, can the fleet withstand this electromagnetic storm?" Chief of Staff Bo Jiangang, who had been silent, heard this and asked Dean Tang Kangyi.

    "I'm still waiting for the calculation results. I can only answer your question after seeing the results."

    "Then let's wait and see." After finishing speaking, Lieutenant General Bu Yun sat on the chair with his eyes closed and stopped talking.  Dean Tang Kangyi and Chief of Staff Bo Jiangang looked at each other and fell silent.

    This time the task force had a bad start, the exploration fleet fell, and the rescue operation also suffered a lot of casualties.  Lieutenant General Bu Yun was under great pressure. Although everything was still under control, he hoped to bring the task force back safely so that more soldiers could return alive.  It's a pity that misfortunes never come singly, both of them sighed silently in their hearts.

    Seeing that the three people were silent, the staff officers in the command room also softened their footsteps, and the originally noisy command room became quiet.

    The Anokhi planet is located in the life zone of the star system, and human research has shown that the existence of liquid water can be guaranteed within the range.  When the planet's orbit is within the life zone, the planet maintains a moderate distance from the star, and the heat emitted by the star is neither too cold nor too hot, ensuring that water on the planet can exist in liquid form.  Water is the source of life. The existence of liquid water shapes the same Earth-like ecological environment. Of course, Earth-like creatures may also evolve. Anokhi planet is such an ecological planet.  In the star system, the distance between the living area and the star will not be too far, because the temperature is too low for water to appear in liquid form.  Within this range, stellar magnetic storms will have a certain impact on planetary life but are not fatal, but will cause devastating disasters for high-tech electronic equipment.

    The reasons for the formation of magnetic storms are very complex, and they generally originate from the sunspot activity of stars.  Starspots are actually cyclones of particles that form on the surface of a star due to the distortion of its magnetic field.  Because its temperature is lower than the surrounding temperature, the ancient earth's backward observation methods saw black spots appearing on the surface of the sun, which were called sunspots.  Sunspots create a twisted magnetic field that sinks into the star, eventually causing solar flares.  It was after observing the sunspot activity of the Anokhi Sun that the Academy of Sciences predicted that high-intensity electromagnetic storms may erupt in the future.  When a sunspot appears, the inwardly concave magnetic field forms a magnetic hurricane, which continues to strengthen and form a vortex. The arc-shaped and plume-shaped plasma will cover thousands to tens of thousands of kilometers of the sun's surface, and then remain stationary for days to weeks.  Expect.  This time in the cosmic age is also called the escape period.  Precisely because of the quiescent period, when humans observe an electromagnetic storm that they cannot withstand, they can take evacuation actions calmly.  Of course, if a large ecological planet like the Earth's mother planet or the capitals of various interstellar empires encounters such a disaster, time will never be enough.  The transport fleet that is also sailing will often be hit by electromagnetic storms that suddenly erupt from the surrounding stars.  The time of the stationary period cannot be accurately estimated. In short, within a few days to a few weeks, some kind of trigger unknown to humans will occur inside the sun. A huge coronal mass ejection will begin, and part of the arc-shaped plasma covering the surface of the star will rise.  Entering space, huge explosions of charged plasma hit the planet. The current formed by charged particles (protons, neutrons) will impact the planet's magnetic field. The energy contained in the electromagnetic storm may sometimes exceed the explosion of billions of nuclear bombs.

    The task force is currently in outer space orbit, and without the protection of the planet's atmosphere, it will directly bear the impact of the magnetic storm.  From the beginning of the design of the star battleship, the problem of resisting electromagnetic storms was taken into consideration, and a star ship magnetic field was artificially created around the star battleship.  when electromagnetic stormWhen the charged particles in the ship encounter a magnetic field, they will move along the direction of the magnetic field. The positive and negative particles will move toward the poles of the magnetic field respectively. The warship in the center of the magnetic field will be safe.  This method can effectively resist the attacks of most magnetic storm charged particle beams in the universe.  However, the strength of man-made magnetic fields is limited after all. Once the intensity of a magnetic storm exceeds the limit that the magnetic field can withstand, it will break down the magnetic field. The charged particles of the magnetic storm will destroy the electronic equipment of the battleship, turning the battleship into a pile of scrap metal.

    The exploration fleet was destroyed in this way, and finally had to make an emergency landing on Anokhi.
