Chapter 23: Twenty-Four Hours of Crisis (6)

Zhang Xianhe is a very ordinary middle-aged man. He is a financial analyst. To be precise, he is an unknown financial analyst with not very outstanding talents. He is employed by a foreign company in Hong Kong and can be regarded as a middle-to-high-level earner.

His appearance is not outstanding either. He is a short, fat man with a rather naive smile, which is very inconsistent with his title of professional financial analyst. Moreover, he is also somewhat bald and looks at least ten years older than his actual age.

.

Therefore, Zhang Xianhe has never had a girlfriend, except for those women who are interested in his money. However, Zhang Xianhe, who is quite conservative in his thinking, is not very interested in these women, so it was not until he was middle-aged that he met his first girlfriend.

love.

He is a good man who loves animals, is tolerant of his colleagues, and is responsible for his work. However, he is clumsy and can't say many things, so few women will look at him...such a short and slightly fat man.

A tall, bald man.

Until the night when he was forty-one, he was really lonely and bored. When he was walking along the coastline, he met a young beauty ol who had just got off work, and her purse was robbed by a few gangsters...

She later became his wife, and they had a two-year-old daughter. This was his family, a home worth exchanging and protecting with his wealth, freedom, life, etc.!

Here, he and his wife are highly educated elites, proficient in multiple languages, and have a broad understanding of basic general knowledge... But that's all. There are more than 120,000 such people, and their husband and wife

It’s very common here. If you look around, there are all such people. They are neither scientists, researchers, technical workers, engineers, or soldiers, nor are they professionals such as doctors and teachers...

Therefore, it is definitely impossible for them to be the first batch of people to leave their underground temporary residence.

Zhang Xianhe sat silently next to his wife and daughter. He and his wife had already put on spacesuits, but the daughter was still too young and there was no spacesuit suitable for her, so the wife was still holding her daughter, comforting her who had been crying softly.

daughter.

Zhang Xianhe watched all this silently, just as he had always been silent, doing more and talking less...

But when he watched several short-distance life-support vehicles drive into the isolation room, he finally could no longer maintain his silence. He stood up and said to some people around him in a moderate voice: "The children should be allowed to go back first.

When they get to the Hope, they don’t have space suits. It’s too dangerous to stay here. Everyone, we should let the children and their mothers go back to the Hope first. We are men, and we can wait until they all leave safely before we return!"

Zhang Xianhe's voice was not too loud, but it was heard by at least ten people from around him. Among these people were three children, two of whom were infants, and even a pregnant woman. When Zhang Xianhe's

After the sound appeared, these families immediately started talking in response, and then their voices were heard by more people around them. Gradually, a slight noise appeared in the originally quiet square.

Soon, the situation here aroused the reaction of the soldiers. Through the communicator, Yao Yuan was informed of something happening at the first time. What he was most afraid of now was that something happened to the people. After all, those who left first

, their chance of survival is much greater. Those who stay are taking risks every minute. If someone climbs up and calls out, the more than a thousand soldiers at that time may not be able to stop tens of thousands or even more from running for their lives.

of people...

At the moment, Yao Yuan didn't care much, and immediately led a team of soldiers to the scene. However, the situation at the scene made him relieved. There was no chaos. Only the people here were talking and making noises.

It's neither small nor big, but because there are so many places where the sound comes from, it's hard to hear what they are talking about.

However, Yao Yuan did not dare to neglect. He led his team slowly into the discussion area. As he arrived, the voices of the people gradually disappeared. Every time they approached, their voices disappeared, as if

He seems to have some kind of magic power.

The more this happened, the tighter Yao Yuan's brows furrowed. Suddenly, a short, fat middle-aged man stood up in front of him. He didn't come close, he just stood there and said: "Captain, we have a request.

"

Yao Yuan's brows jumped and he immediately asked: "Please tell me, sir, we are not a monologue here. If you have any questions, you can ask me. As long as it is reasonable, we will accept it."

Zhang Xianhe mustered up the second greatest courage in his life to stand up and speak. This courage was second only to the courage he had when he proposed to his wife, and it was even greater than the courage he had when chasing those gangsters. He was very

He said calmly: "Captain, there are many children, children, babies, and pregnant women here, and there are also their mothers here. I am here to ask you that all the scientists have left now, and the rest are retreating

People, I ask you, if possible, can you let the children and their mothers accompany them to leave first? You know that the children do not have space suits..."

"As for us men, we can stay until the end and leave. We can persevere!"

Yao Yuan fell silent, Zhang Xianhe fell silent after he finished speaking, and even the people around him who looked expectantly at this place fell silent.

In fact, those currently being evacuated are doctors and various technical workers. There are a lot of these people. Including their families, there are basically about 40,000 to 50,000 people. Only about one-third of them have been evacuated so far.

, according to this progress, it is estimated that it will take about three to four hours to evacuate.

After a long time, Yao Yuan said: "Okay, the short-range life-support vehicle that has been driven up now, let the children enter first. There is no need to follow the number of people. It doesn't matter if there are three or four more. After all, this is not far from the Hope... Yes

Let’s let their mothers follow them, but again, because of the number of people... please record the males among these family members, your order may need to be adjusted back."

Zhang Xianhe felt hot blood rushing to his face and almost screamed with excitement. He also felt his eyes were sore. He immediately clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Captain, thank you, thank you..."

Yao Yuan waved his hand and left the area silently. After he had gone far away, he suddenly heard a small cheer from behind. The dozen or so soldiers who stayed had already begun to receive hundreds of people nearby.

family records.

"Give all your hope of survival to your wife and children?" Yao Yuan sighed and gradually walked away.

In that area, Zhang Xianhe's young and beautiful wife was already stunned. She waited for Yao Yuan and the soldiers to go away, then hurriedly grabbed Zhang Xianhe's clothes and asked: "Are you crazy? Wait for these people

Now that we’re gone, it’s our turn. If you say this, if you say this, what should you do? You..."

The young and beautiful wife was already a little incoherent. She had always been very strong, but at this moment she felt like she didn't know what to do. As she spoke, there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

Since Zhang Xianhe married this young and beautiful wife, he has treated many things with an inclusive attitude. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, including his wife, he is a somewhat introverted man. However, he did not expect that in

At such a moment, he actually acted so decisively.

Zhang Xianhe hugged his wife and kissed his daughter. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. You and Yu'er can return to the Hope with peace of mind. Don't you see that the captain hasn't left either? If it's true,

If there is danger, he will definitely take us with him, and he also has a spacesuit. If you put it on, you can last for several hours. Yu'er doesn't have a spacesuit."

The young wife was silent. She held her daughter in her arms and couldn't help but shed tears. She held her husband's hand, just like when she was robbed by a gangster, or when he proposed, that kind of reassuring feeling.

A sense of security...

Soon, the first batch of short-range life-support vehicles loaded with children drove out of the temporary underground residence, followed closely by the mothers of these children. They returned to the Hope under the leadership of the soldiers, and in the space shuttle

Inside the helmet, every woman's face was filled with tears...

The one they loved gave them and their children the hope of survival...

At this moment, inside the Hope, relevant scientists and researchers have calculated the first data...

The star system has undergone drastic changes. The newly born star is undergoing an unimaginable change. In the just period of time, its changes have caused violent movements of the asteroid belt and nebulae in the entire galaxy.

How can I describe it? It looks like an electromagnetic magnet. When it is not energized, it only has a slight magnetic effect. Once it is energized, it will immediately produce a strong magnetic field around it.

There are many small metal particles around the magnet, but these metal particles are far away from the magnet and will not be attracted by the magnetic field, but... they will be magnetized!

The larger the metal particle, the faster it is magnetized, and the greater the attraction after magnetization!

This is an imagination that scientists cannot explain... Unfortunately, it still cannot be explained by human technology. It can only be hypothesized through some theories. For example, now, the gravity of the asteroid they are on has reached the Earth

One-eleventh of gravity, and the gravity is still growing!

In other words, this huge asteroid fragment is attracting surrounding material to converge towards it!

This may be the mechanism for the formation of Earth-like planets!

But at this moment, this represents a catastrophe! Once a huge asteroid fragment hits, it may not be an earthquake or something, but it will be completely over!

"Based on the current growth rate of gravity and the distance of the surrounding asteroids, we will use this as a calculation... It will take about 18 to 19 hours before the asteroid fragments will be hit!"

At this moment, about four hours and fifty minutes have passed since the earthquake broke out...
