The situation suddenly became critical; Shen Guang and Qiu Qinghong both scrambled, but in the end, they couldn't escape their doomed fate.
As the comet rapidly approached the sun, temperatures continuously rose, and soon enough, these silicon-based people displayed obvious discomfort.
Their movements slowed down, and there even occurred instances of mass deaths.
Although Shen Guang had also been trying hard to build various shelters to cool down the environment and kept digging underground, hoping to find refuge from the external heat deeper in the earth, everything was already too late since they started the transformation too late.
To transform these silicon-based life forms into heat-resistant shapes, there simply wasn't enough time.
Thus, the very first batch of comet life forms that had been meaningfully created since the "Star Plan" began met their end.
The mass deaths of the silicon-based people brought all production activities on the planet to a complete halt.
