The helium flash first occurred 9,263 years ago.
(The Issa Era of Civilization is 10326 years, 400 days per year, four seasons, 40 weeks, 100 days per season, 10 days per week. For example, 1-10 weeks in spring, 11-20 weeks in summer...)
It is also the 5th week and 7th day of spring, techno 107.
It was a fine day for rest, with a pleasant breeze and a clear sky, and at noon the Suliennes family went to the park for a picnic. It was already noon.
Haley, his wife on the green grass, found a few stones to hold down the wind-blown dinner cloth, and then placed the carefully prepared food in the box on the dinner cloth. The shadow of the tree was dancing and projected on the blue and white dinner cloth. Everything was comfortable.
Suliennes and his 5-year-old son Su Wen chase a ball around the grass.
There are couples holding hands in the park, old people walking, children chasing, leaves rustling in the wind, boats floating in the distant bay
...
Suddenly the sky filled with a strange green and purple light, and everyone was immediately attracted by this strange scene.
"Is it the aurora?"
"It's beautiful."
"How can there be an aurora here?"
Suliennes looked at the spectacular scenery, but his heart was uneasy, only Su Wen was still chasing the ball, laughing and running.
...
"Look what that is!
'My goodness!
The exclamation of several people also attracted Suliennes again, and he looked in the direction of several people.
"Look at the sky"...
"Was it a shooting star?"
I saw a flame in the sky moving rapidly from the southwest, trailing a long line of smoke.
"Whoo!" A few seconds later came a loud roar
Then the flame broke into dozens of pieces at its brightest point and continued to Pierce the sky.
"Touch ~" explosion came one after another
The debris gradually fell and finally disappeared from view.
It all happened in ten seconds.
The roar of the explosion shocked Su Wen, who was still chasing the ball, and looked at his father and mother in horror. I saw my father and mother look up at the sky, and gradually turn their eyes to the sky, and only a white smoke was left in the sky.
"What is that?" Curiosity and thirst for knowledge make children sound childish and look at their parents.
"It was a shooting star, a star falling from the sky," the mother explained to her young son
"But it's daytime, there are no stars in the sky..." The son asked.
"Suliennes, Su Wen, come to dinner."
His mother didn't know how to explain everything, so she called for them to eat. Suliennes's face was serious, as if something was on his mind, but the two of them still trotted to the table cloth on the floor, Haley shouted at him to slow down and not bring dirt on the food.
A family of three begins to enjoy a cozy lunch. In the distance, couples still hold hands and make wishes, some people use cameras to take pictures of the sky, and children resume playing and laughing. People will also look up at the sky from time to time, as if they have not finished.
A few minutes later, the people around started Shouting "Look, look, it's coming again".
Suliennes put down his food and looked up at the sky, pointing in the direction of the sky and motioning to his wife and son.
"Meteor shower?" "It's three."
Three points of light have appeared in the western sky, the distance between the three points of light is very large, gradually yellow and bright, a few seconds after dragging out the white tail smoke, when the tail smoke drew a long white line to see, the three "meteors" flew to different directions, and finally broke down into countless pieces, disappeared in the sky, accompanied by the explosion, and finally left only a few white smoke scattered in the sky.
"It's a meteor shower," shouted someone around
Suliennes sensed something was wrong, vaguely familiar but unable to say it, and then he got up and took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to get closer and see more clearly.
"I've never seen anything like it. It's spectacular," said an elderly man with glasses and a camera in his hand.
Suliennes seemed to realize something: "No, it's not a meteor shower."
As soon as this was said, the crowd looked to Suliennes
"Meteor showers are pieces of meteorite falling into the atmosphere, most of them coming in the same direction, so the tracks are basically parallel lines, and they obviously come from different directions. Moreover, the mass of these "meteors" is too large, most meteors only a few kilograms to tens of kilograms, burning will not produce such a large tail smoke, these several masses are estimated to be hundreds of kilograms, or even several tons."
"You know so much," the middle-aged uncle and the people around him cast admiring eyes.
"I work for Spaz Space..."
It occurred to Suliennes: If there was such a big meteor falling, the space tracking and control center could not miss it, and surely I would have given advance notice, at least I would have received the information a few weeks in advance...
Saying Suliennes took the phone from his pocket, "Oops... No signal."
"My cell phone has no signal."
"Mine too. I can't dial."
"I don't have Internet either"...
Then the people around them realized that all of their cell phones had lost reception.
Suliennes continued to look through the historical letters to see if he had overlooked the information... He could not find the information.
"Honey, pack up and let's go back," Suliennes shouted in the direction of his wife and children.
There were already people in the park Shouting to go home,
Only the old man still calmly looked at the sky from time to time to pick up the camera to take photos.
A few minutes later, another "meteor" appeared in the sky again, the crowd began to panic, Shouting more and more loud, Suliennes and his wife quickly packed things, ready to move to the car, the child holding a piece of dessert at the side of the sky obsessed with watching the trajectory of the meteor.
Many people want to make phone calls to check on the situation, waving their mobile phones without reception, and trying to check news materials on the Internet can not be connected to the Internet.
Soon Haley and Suliennes have gathered their belongings, and just then, screams are heard around them again.
At the same time, a roaring sound was heard in the sky again.
'Oh my God, it's a plane!
To the south of the park where Suliennes is located is a bay deep into the interior, and to the south is the Blue Sea City Airport, where a passenger plane from west to east has passed the airport, and has flown lower and lower, and in a twinkling of an eye, it has crashed into the east sea.
The park erupted, panicked, screamed, and ran.
Suliennes was the first to come to his mind, called his wife, picked up his son and got into the car. The car started and began to drive out of the park. Everything was OK on the way from the suburban park to the city.
The wife kept her cell phone looking for a signal.
In half an hour.
The car into the city began to block up, several intersection lights also appeared confused, the car horn is also one after another, stirring the panic.
Suliennes hit the brakes and looked out of the window but couldn't seem to see the end of the traffic, so he had to lean back in his seat and wait.
"Broadcast," Suliennes exclaimed, as if aware
'What? The wife asked.
Instead of responding to his wife, Suliennes reached over and tweaked the car radio, rustling and electric, and occasionally hearing a few words.
As the traffic moved slowly forward and the whistle sounded, Suliennes started the car and said to his wife, "You adjust the channel."
Haley reached for the knob slowly turn, finally there is a continuous can hear the voice of the channel, the two smile at each other, as if they have found the answer. But no matter how Haley spun around, she couldn't hear what was being said and grew disappointed.
The traffic stops again. "shit, damn," an anxious Suliennes slaps the radio. Haley pulls back, but the voice seems to be clearer now.
Suliennes began to slowly adjust the knob, the voice gradually clear... .
"Daytime meteors, meteorites falling from the sky, we destroy nature, pollute the environment, this is a warning from God..."
...
"The end of the world is coming, the curse prophecy will be fulfilled, the fire meteor will destroy the world..."
A few channels in a row, but Suliennes, who has a career in science, could have believed the rumors. None of this was what he wanted to hear, so he kept twisting and turning...
"Hello, everyone, this is Blue Ocean City Voice Radio station, received the government notice, now through the radio to the general public to interrupt the emergency announcement:
At present, the country is affected by strong radio wave interference, communication and network interruption, traffic, power and other systems have been greatly affected.
At the same time, multinational air passenger transport and satellites in orbit have received the most serious impact, many out-of-control fall phenomenon, the operations department will defend against the out-of-control satellite that may fall to the city to protect the city, this is not a war, please do not panic, try to stay at home or indoors do not go out, please cooperate with the military police to maintain order, dudu...dudu...dudu (alarm) ~
... Hello, listeners, this is Blue Ocean City Radio, receiving a notice from the government... .."
The radio is playing repeatedly, the car is also moving with the traffic, and the nervous heart of the two people is slightly relaxed after repeated listening to several times.
Suliennes then realized that the "meteor fall" was familiar with the scene of a failed rocket launch many years ago.
Haley looks back at her son Su Wen, still playing with the toy.
As we enter the city center, the sound of the radio is getting clearer, and the government channels are getting tired of hearing the same voice over and over. Suliennes switched channels while driving.
"We are under attack from aliens, they have launched electromagnetic weapons to destroy our satellites and networks, aliens are coming to Issa..." The young man's voice shouted over the radio.
"It was Akaishi that started the war again, this time in space... ." Old man's voice of vicissitudes, must have been in the war. (Akaishi Kingdom - the land of iron and stone, warlike expansion, was the trigger for many wars in Issa)
"It's time to stock up on food and water... .." A woman's voice.
"We should also stock up on food and water, so let's go to the supermarket right away and look over there," Haley reminded, pointing out the window of a supermarket where outsiders had huddled in the distance.
"Go straight to the mall on Maple Road. It's the nearest mall," Haley reminded her husband.
As the car approached the intersection, an oncoming car failed to brake and pushed the opposite car into front of Suliennes, but the speed was slow and not serious. Suliennes slammed on the brakes to stop the car, but the car behind Suliennes did not brake and slightly gave chase.
Four cars were blocked in the middle of the intersection, and there were no traffic police to keep order.
The drivers of the first two cars got out and started arguing.
"Bad luck, it's going to have to wait for the police," Suliennes joked as he leaned his head out of the window as car sirens blared around him.
"wooo~~~~~~~~~ wooo~~~~~~~~" Suddenly the city siren sounded, a long warning of disaster or air raid. Almost instantly it drowned out the siren. Then the siren stopped, and so did the two quarrelling drivers, who looked around as if to find the source of the siren.
"Look over there." Then someone shouted.
Many drivers poked their heads out of their Windows and began to follow the sound of people's voices.
"West, west," Suliennes and the other drivers looked west together.
By this time a column of white smoke had risen from the ground to the sky.
"It's a rocket." "Someone shouted.
Others shouted, "No, missiles."
A few seconds later, the white smoke rushed to the southwest, and all eyes were fixed on the direction of the white smoke.
"It's a shooting star," someone exclaimed.
Others shouted "Coming towards us".
Only a few people who listened to the radio knew that it was not a meteor. That's a satellite.
Seconds later, the missile collided with the satellite, causing a violent explosion. Two strands of solid smoke collide in flames, and then countless fragments disperse and eventually fall down. But there are still a few pieces flying out of the blast smoke at extremely high speed.
There was silence.
"Go, go!" Someone shouted.
Then the screams followed. Only then did the crowd come to their senses. The car horn blared again.
The two drivers, who had been arguing, did not seem to mind anything, returned to their respective cars, started their cars and drove back to their respective roads.
Haley urged, and Suliennes, not caring about being rear-ended, started the car and drove on.
Traffic at the intersection finally returned to normal.
