Chapter 1 When a meteorite strikes, are you ready?

A day that was originally Christmas, after experiencing many disasters, people urgently hope that this year will pass earlier and that the disaster will subside.

After all, this year has been a painful year for all mankind.

Plague, famine, war, death, and the four Apocalypse horsemen recorded in the Bible have almost ravaged the world. Human beings are obviously so vulnerable in the face of disasters brought by nature.

However, people have not given up hope. Even in the face of disasters, we are still struggling to fight against these disasters, showing the most precious golden spirit of mankind - full of hope and never bow to disasters.

However, it was like God was playing a huge joke with humans. On this day, a huge meteorite with a diameter of more than ten kilometers was discovered by astronomers. After calculations, astronomers confirmed that the orbit of the huge meteorite would intersect with the orbit of the blue star and would hit the blue star within a few months.

After learning about this news, governments of various countries blocked the news as soon as possible. In order to avoid causing social panic, almost all astronomers were banned.

But this kind of news cannot be blocked.

After all, meteorites hang in the sky. As meteorites get closer and closer to the Blue Star, astronomical enthusiasts around the world can see the brighter and bigger comets in the night sky just by setting up a telescope.

Moreover, the space operations and various response measures launched by governments are difficult to avoid being caught in this era of such a developed Internet.

These clues naturally spread online, causing enthusiastic discussions, and some prescient people began to hoard supplies after they smelled the clues.

There have been too many disasters this year, and many people have already gained experience.

Food, medicine, protective equipment, communication equipment... These emergency supplies were sold out by everyone as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there are many disasters this year. The companies that produce these emergency supplies have increased their production of these disaster-related necessities, especially emergency food that can be placed for 20 or even 40 years, which has become the most in short supply at this time.

Although this year, emergency food has been one of the popular disaster-responsive materials second only to protective equipment.

But compared to buying these supplies, in Chen Xin's opinion, it is more important to dig a shelter for himself.

Chen Xin is an online writer. He usually makes a living by typing on various novels and novel websites. As a writer, the most important thing is naturally the brain and logical thinking ability. After all, the so-called novel is essentially a logical and smooth mind that can attract people.

This undoubtedly leads to the fact that Chen Xin is thinking more complicated than others when facing this possible disaster.

When a meteorite hits the blue star, how should humans avoid disasters?

This problem immediately emerged in Chen Xin's mind.

Fortunately, as an internet writer, Chen Xin usually has a lot of ideas. He also has the habit of recording these ideas and trying to think and improve them. The situation of meteorite hitting blue star happens to be within the scope of the ideas Chen Xin has thought about.

While hoarding supplies and searching for information that might be found on the Internet, Chen Xin did not forget to dig out the thoughts he had thought about from the folder where he recorded his imagination.

The giant meteorite hit the Blue Star, the first thing that brought about was a violent impact.

Judging from the current size of this meteorite, even if countries have space interception plans, the possibility of success is not high. The biggest possibility is that the meteorite will break into several smaller pieces due to human interception operations, or brush past the blue star, or hit the blue star.

However, this does not mean that the degree of disaster will be reduced, and don’t think that small meteorites are not that dangerous, because this small one is relative to the meteorite body with a diameter of more than ten kilometers.

Even if it is broken into pieces of meteorites several kilometers in size, hitting the Blue Star can still cause a devastating disaster.

Meteorites with a diameter of more than five kilometers hit the blue star, and people and animals will remain within a radius of at least one thousand kilometers.

The impact of the meteorite will directly lift the material near the impact site into space. The heat energy generated by the friction with the atmosphere and the energy released by the impact will form a hot fire wall at least ten kilometers high and temperatures exceeding thousands of degrees Celsius, sweeping everything within at least 1,500 kilometers.

Within this range, even if you can hide in the underground bunker, there is a high probability that you will be cooked in the bunker like a kiln chicken in Meizhou, Guangdong. Even if the bunker you dug is deep enough, the subsequent earthquake of at least magnitude 11 or above will be enough to bury you alive.

If you are lucky, maybe if humans survive tens of millions of years, you can dig out your fossils.

If you are interested in leaving some traces for human beings, you can give your middle finger. Human beings in future generations will definitely be moved by your optimistic spirit.

The shock wave brought by the meteorite impact will spread back and forth around the world several times the speed of sound, so no matter where you are in any corner of the Blue Star, you can hear the violent sounds produced by the meteorite impact.

If you are in a hemisphere opposite to the impact location when a meteorite impacts, there is no danger yet, and the sound of the shock wave is enough to remind you to hide in the bunker.

But all this is just the beginning, and the disaster has just begun.

In the next few days, a fire storm of haze and gravel will cover the entire Blue Star, allowing global temperatures to rise from two levels to the equator to 70-200 degrees, turning the entire Blue Star surface into a huge oven.

The entire surface will become inconvenient for human survival, and all plants will be scorched by this high temperature until burned. The toxic and harmful gases produced by global fires will spread throughout the atmosphere, killing most creatures on the surface.

And all of this is still just a prelude and overture to the disaster, and everything can only be said to be the appetizer before the meal.

Because of the increase in atmospheric temperature, sea level will also rise rapidly. Coupled with the kinetic energy impact released by meteorite impacts, it will produce a tsunami that is thousands of meters high to impact almost all coastal cities.

The dust clouds caused by the impact and the toxic gases generated by global fires will block the sunlight, covering the Blue Star for dozens or even hundreds of years, causing Blue Star to fall into a long dark night.

The matter that was knocked into space by the impact of meteorites and the smaller meteorite fragments wrapped by the meteorite itself will continue to impact the Blue Star.

In the hemisphere where the meteorite impacts, all this is like a carpet bombing. The continuous meteorite impact will make few people survive in the entire hemisphere.

Even if you can hide in underground bunkers, it is impossible to survive such meteorite bombings ranging from several meters to hundreds of meters per day.

As for the hemispheres with the opposite impact location, you will be lucky, but there will be a chance of falling meteorites. It can almost be said that you will have a certain chance of seeing meteorites smashing several tall buildings when you go out.

But that's not the end, because the world is covered by haze formed by thick clouds of dust and toxic gases, and the temperature will cool down rapidly in the next few months.

If high-latitude cities are not destroyed in the impact, the temperature will drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius, while the equatorial area will be slightly better, about minus 20 degrees Celsius.
