HLnovel Chapter 181 Blue Change
Chapter 181 Blue Change
A Rolls-Royce Cullinan stopped at the school gate.
The driver was Chu Zizhao, the second son of the Chu family and a new technological upstart in City S.
Under his sunglasses, Chu Zizhao frowned: "Yanyan, do you really want Chu Nuannuan's admission quota?"
back seat.
It's so quiet that you can't help but hold your breath.
Outside the car window, high school students who had just finished school were playing and making noise in groups of two or three.
Chu Yan's deskmate Shen Lingling was on the side of the road, eating fried skewers while complaining loudly to her bestie: "My grandma bought me health supplements to replenish my brain again, and she also said that if I spend more than 10,000 yuan, I will get tickets to a charity auction!"
On the playground, several high school boys were playing ball.
The school hunk with a broken face looked at this place from afar and whispered to his little brother next to him: "A luxury car worth 700 million, damn... her family is really rich... Get her phone number and see how your brother Yao will deal with it..."
Rolls Royce back seat.
System sound trembling:
[Host, what's going on here! Where's that Cthulhu weirdo mother plant?! Why is Chu Nuannuan still here? Are we going back in time?]
Chu Yan looked up.
Looking at the dazzling bright sky through the car window.
【No backtracking.】
The system fell silent.
In the azure sky, besides the warm rising sun, there is also a slightly blue, even somewhat evil star——
"The Second Sun"!
The sun's light was dim, and it would flicker suddenly from time to time.
This makes it look not like a star that nourishes the growth of all things, but like the eye of an evil god.
Hanging in mid-air, staring at the tiny creatures with malicious intent.
Chu Yan stared at the blue sun.
It seems as if its beauty is magnificent.
Heartbeat slightly increased.
The system is shocked: [Host, what is that? ]
Chu Yan:
【sun.】
[It’s just that——it’s old. ]
Every star ages.
When it was young, it may have peacefully nurtured the surrounding stars, gently giving them light and warmth.
But when its fuel runs out—
The high-temperature nuclear fusion reaction in the inner layer will quickly consume its life, releasing a large amount of energy, turning into blazing temperature and dazzling light. The pain of aging will cause its whole body to spasm, and the unstable stellar wind will frequently throw its mass out. In the raging storm, it will sometimes be haggard and dim, and sometimes burst into violent light explosions.
In the radiation of its light.
The largest proportion of visible light is blue light and ultraviolet light.
So this star has changed its blue color.
The system was dumbfounded: [The sun will also age? Then will it die. ]
Chu Yan nodded:
【meeting. 】
[The life process of each sun is different. 】
[However, since it has turned blue, it has only one ending - a supernova explosion. In the last second of its life, it explodes violently, and the light penetrates the entire galaxy. For a star, this is the most splendid death.]
The system is at a loss.
Chu Yan ordered:
[Look a little more, even the Kepler telescope can't see as clearly as we can now. 】
【Oh, since you are a system, take some photos and record a video. 】
The system tried to open its eyes wide.
Half a minute later.
Chu Yan closed the window, put on sunglasses, and adjusted the smart watch on his wrist.
System: [We don’t want to watch it anymore? ]
Chu Yan: [I've finished reading it. The radiation here is too high, not good for sensitive skin.]
system:【……】
The system suddenly remembered: [Where are we now? ]
Chu Yan thought: [Maybe, in the strange memory.]
system:【?!】
Chu Yan: [Memory is just a carrier of information. Since it can be text or images, why can't it be a pure experience extracted from one's own experience? Even if the aliens are not high-dimensional creatures, at least their technology should be more advanced than humans. You have read so many Tomato novels, including holographic online games and memory playback. Now you can immerse yourself in other people's memories. It's not too much, right?]
The system's mosquito-repellent eyes are spinning in circles.
System: [What's going on with this Chu Zizhao? ! ]
Inside a luxury car.
Chu Zizhao looked at the silent Chu Yan with worry, and said carefully: "You are my sister, I will find you whatever you want. But I don't want you to study such a dangerous major."
Chu Yan: "How are the encryption algorithms of Bitcoin and blockchain implemented?"
Chu Zizhao: “…”
Chu Yan nodded, confirming his guess:
【See, it doesn’t know, because I don’t know either. 】
【But the real Chu Zizhao knows. 】
[It is just an NPC that we automatically generated in this holographic experience to complete the story. ]
Chu Zizhao said cautiously: "Yanyan, why are you asking this..."
Chu Yan said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense and drive your car. I have banned your lines. You are delaying my plot."
system:【……】
NPC Chu Zizhao stepped on the accelerator until smoke came out and sent Chu Yan home.
There are many differences between here and the real S City.
Whether it is the car body or the exterior surface of the building, it is wrapped with various forms of radiation shielding materials, such as aluminum alloy and polyethylene. And "Chu Zizhao", "Chu Yan", and "classmates" in the high school campus all wear black protective sunglasses and smart watches to detect vital signs when they are outdoors.
It seems that the blue variable star not far from here and the strong radiation it brings have changed the behavior pattern of the entire society.
When getting off the car.
Chu Yan suddenly ordered: "Take off your sunglasses."
NPC "Chu Zizhao" did as he was told.
Those eyes, which should have been pitch black, were actually bright red!
Chu Yan was silent for a while, took off his sunglasses and looked at the rearview mirror in front of him.
In her familiar pale eyes.
It was also inlaid with a pair of crystal clear, blood-red pupils.
She was immersed in strange memories.
So, at this moment, there was also that strange pair of eyes.
System praise: [It’s quite good-looking. Our Su Su’s face is really not picky! ]
Chu Yan: [Talk less and take more photos. Send them to the National Space Administration after you come out. Can you make even a little contribution to human development? ]
System: [Woo.]
Return to Chu's house.
The Chu family is full of joy.
Chu Zhennan is honest and loyal, Chu Nuannuan is gentle and quiet, Chu Zizhao is not very smart, and Zheng Ling is full of love for his family and even cooks dinner for his children himself.
Zheng Ling: "Today is the day when our family reunites..."
Chu Yan: "Where is that loser Chu Xuan?"
The whole family: "..."
A group of people made way one by one.
On the wall behind the dining table, there was a black and white photo of Henry Chu hanging.
Chu Yan: “…”
The corners of Chu Yan's lips curled up, and he was in a good mood!
Just as he was about to start enjoying the photo, the "whole family" hurriedly stopped him:
"Yanyan, we know you can't accept it, but Xiaoxuan has chosen this path. He will not regret dying for our future! Now that Jingri is decaying so rapidly, it may cause a devastating disaster at any time. Warriors are being sent to various galaxies to find new homes, and sacrifices are inevitable..."
"Nuannuan has been recommended to the Martial Arts Department, but you are different. You are our precious jewel, and I don't want you to take such a dangerous path—"
Chu Yan: “Ugh.”
NPCs talk at once to complete the world background.
The star this planet orbits is called Helios, which is similar to the well-known Sun.
The star that is extremely dangerous because of the blue shift is called Jingri. Although Jingri is several small galaxies away, when a supernova explodes, it will also be destroyed.
Chu Zhennan was worried: "Yanyan, why do you look like you have a poor appetite..."
Chu Yan: "Stop talking nonsense, your lines are also banned, fast forward to the next plot."
While talking.
An extremely strong beam of light suddenly flashed outside the window.
At first, it seemed that a passing vehicle had simply accidentally turned on its high beams.
However, soon, everyone's expression was filled with horror.
A snowflake appeared on the curved floating screen in the hall, and it began to hum chaotically. White smoke suddenly billowed out of the electronic components. The smart central control of the Chu residence frequently splashed red sparks. Someone screamed in shock: "The light exploded, the light exploded again! Quick, open the protective cover——"
Originally, everyone thought it was just an ordinary light explosion.
Yet its power is stronger than ever.
It was so strong that it seemed that the core of Jingri would collapse in the next moment, releasing energy that destroyed all life. The expensive protective shield of the Chu residence cracked, and the house was crumbling in front of everyone's pale faces. Skyscrapers in the distance collapsed one after another, and hovercrafts fell to the ground one after another. The radiation from the blue variable star cut the steel bars and iron pipes, and also cut the DNA chains of the creatures on the ground. Pedestrians on the streets and campuses who were already exposed to the light fled in panic! However, after running a few steps, they fell to the ground groaning because of the severe pain.
The entire planet was in mourning. In fact, not only this habitat, but also the circumstellar residential zone established by the glorious civilization for tens of thousands of years was almost completely destroyed in this disaster!
Because the intensity of this light explosion is extremely high.
The rescue work was only started three days later.
On the old-fashioned radio, the news anchor's voice was hoarse and full of despair:
"According to the calculations of the Supernova Defense Agency, our home will melt in the explosion 50 years from now. Our warriors have spent 600 years exploring the outside world, but so far, the area we can reach is still within the range of the supernova explosion..."
The city center of S city is in ruins.
Chu Yan finally found the signal and projected a virtual screen using his smart watch.
In this world where natural disasters are rampant.
Whenever a person's vital signs disappear from the watch.
His or her profile picture will turn gray in the contact list.
The main brain automatically reads their interpersonal relationships and chat records during their lifetime, and distributes their inheritance fairly according to their will or the closeness of their relationship.
In Chu Yan’s contact list.
"Shen Lingling"'s profile picture is gray, and the kind physics teacher's profile picture is also dim.
The radio antenna trembles in the cold wind:
"The nearest supernova safe haven is 444 light years away. Our civilization is too young to accelerate living matter to even 1/10 the speed of light. On the day our civilization perishes, only microscopic particles and a very small amount of macroscopic particles will be transmitted..."
Downtown S City.
The warriors here, no matter they are grandmasters or masters, are all covered in dust and blood, trying their best to search and rescue ordinary people with weak bodies in the ruins.
The Xushi Real Estate headquarters building in Lujiazui collapsed completely, and staff put up a black cordon, indicating that no signs of life could be detected here.
Chu Yan sat next to the black cordon.
A few moments.
The radios on everyone's waists all made a heavy sound.
After thirteen bells.
An old man's hoarse voice sounded.
"Everyone, after a unanimous vote by the Supernova Defense Agency, we will activate the last plan for the survival of civilization—"
"Consciousness Upload."
System: [Host, what is consciousness uploading? ! ]
Chu Yan raised his eyes.
It swept across a scene of wailing, suffering, and people's final struggles before death.
She paused.
【No one can escape from here alive. 】
[The flesh is weak and bitter... the machine ascends. 】
On the radio.
"Please keep the electronic keys you have been assigned and select the memory fragments you need to save within the next year. We will officially launch the consciousness uploading plan in five years."
"Your identity, cultural imprints, and your most cherished memories will be sent in the form of electromagnetic waves to a refuge zone 444 light years away, where they will be officially restarted."
"At that time, we will collect the existing DNA sequences in the shelter and reassemble our own lives..."
Chu Yan frowned.
444 light years.
444 light-years away from Earth is the Pleiades star cluster.
Then, this place in the strange memory is——
She quickly opened the virtual screen.
At this point, the front page of any portal was replaced by a detailed description of the “Consciousness Upload” program.
And there, it is clearly written.
Pleiades Supernova Defense Plan Fourth Emergency Plan
Plan name: Consciousness Upload.
Destination: Milky Way, Orion Arm, Solar System, Third Order of Planets.
Chu Yan:
【--Earth.】
