Chapter 270 Solar Flash
Mr. Zhong and Liu Chengdong smiled at each other and took the shuttle bus to the monitoring hall.
Chen Jue, who was countless kilometers away, was looking at the sun wheel that was emitting a faint light.
"What is the use of this thing?"
"It seems to be absorbing radiation energy from the outside world... It didn't respond much in the second home before. Could it be that the energy it is charging is not right?" Chen Yude was curious.
Observing the solar disk with his celestial sense, he found that the microwaves emitted by this bronze artifact were different from spiritual energy and true qi energy. Instead, they were like electromagnetic waves that transmitted signals.
The central area of the solar disk is constantly accumulating this special electromagnetic wave.
After studying it for a while and stimulating it with his internal energy, Chen Jue saw that the Sun Disc did not respond, so he had to put it aside temporarily.
He planned to study this thing again with the help of the high-tech equipment at the base after returning to Earth. After all, Chen Jue's celestial perception was not omnipotent.
…
"Ding... Ding... Comrade Chen Jue! Did you hear that? It's me! Lao Liu!" At this time, the communication channel of the return capsule rang again.
"Director Liu, we haven't contacted each other for a long time." Chen Jue replied with a smile when he heard the familiar man's voice.
"Haha! Comrade Chen Jue, you are finally coming back."
"It's been almost half a year, and the Earth has changed a lot. It will probably take you some time to adapt when you come back."
"But thank you still for your contribution to the Home Project! Everyone in the base is waiting for you." Liu Chengdong was a little excited and chatted with Chen Jue about the latest situation of the second batch of landing members.
At this time, Zhong Lao's voice interrupted: "Comrade Chen Jue, how does it feel to be home?"
"It's Mr. Zhong! Of course I'm looking forward to going home, and I'm also a little excited." Chen Jue said with a smile.
"Your secret moon landing has gone down in history, and the exploration data you sent back is extremely important. When you return, the base plans to give you a lifetime award."
"Oh! By the way! Congratulations on becoming a billionaire!" Mr. Zhong said in a cheerful tone.
"Billionaire?" Chen Jue was stunned.
"Yes! Have you forgotten that we earned one cent from the copyright of each copy of the Body Building Exercises book?" Mr. Zhong explained cheerfully.
"So that's how billionaires are made... one cent a copy. Xiao Mu said that it seemed that more than 10 billion copies had been sold before they were launched..." Chen Jue suddenly realized. He didn't expect that he would become a billionaire as soon as he returned home after just going on a long trip.
This speed of making money is thousands of times faster than when I was an office worker.
However, his mind is not on money now. In the face of cultivation and evolution, money is nothing but a passing cloud to Chen Jue.
"Comrade Chen Jue, is there anything that needs to be prepared in advance at the base?"
"The return capsule is expected to arrive on Earth in 70 hours, which is much faster than before."
"Please feel free to raise any requests or opinions you have. You are our great contributor, and an old man like me will do my best to satisfy them for you." Old Zhong's voice sounded again.
Chen Jue pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhong, please prepare some equipment for monitoring radiation doses and MRI medical equipment for me. The more advanced, the better. Please also contact the country's top nuclear physics experts. It would be best if you could find a few experts in cells, genes, and biological evolution. I have some doubts that need help from experts with these professional knowledge."
"Oh! By the way! We also need a few experts in studying hieroglyphics, bronze ware, and Sanxingdui ruins!" Chen Jue added.
When Mr. Zhong heard this, he couldn't hold it in any longer: "Young man, you really gave an old man like me a difficult problem... Experts in medicine, nuclear physics, biology, ancient culture, and archaeology, the categories involved are a bit broad..."
"But don't worry! Even if I have to sacrifice my reputation, I will put together a professional think tank team for you."
"Our base is fairly well equipped. The medical equipment base you mentioned can be found in all of them. I'll contact our sister units, and I'll arrange for experts in this field to meet with you as soon as you land." Mr. Zhong was silent for a moment and did not ask Chen Jue why he made these requests.
Because Mr. Zhong knew that Chen Jue was a special candidate and the first human to go deep into the second home. His uniqueness was not something that an ordinary person like him could understand.
Moreover, Chen Jue has always been pragmatic and studious when he was at the base, and he would not make requests without reason.
"Then thank you, Mr. Zhong!" Chen Jue responded gratefully.
They then exchanged a few brief words on the communication channel, and then disconnected to prevent the return capsule from consuming excessive power and affecting the landing.
The reason why Chen Jue proposed to meet with these experts was that he wanted to resolve the negative condition of [Radiation Distortion] in his body as soon as possible.
Otherwise, after practicing for a while, you will end up transforming into a half-energy, half-material form like Suzaku , which will cause the physical body to collapse.
…
It took Chen Jue more than 20 days to set off from the Earth and land on the Moon, but the return trip only took 3 days, which involved a change of orbit.
In addition, the level of the Flower-Growing Country's rocket engines cannot be compared with that of the old Eagle Country, so it takes more time to launch and land on the moon, and it needs to rely on the slingshot of the earth's gravity for delivery.
However, the return journey only requires overcoming the relatively weak gravitational field of the moon and flying straight along the preset orbit. There is no need to take a detour, which greatly shortens the time.
Of course, Chen Jue was not idle on the way back, but was practicing the [Red Dust Golden Body Technique] and [Five Senses and Six Perceptions Technique] the whole time.
As for the Pure Yang Gong, Chen Jue didn't dare to touch it for the time being. He planned to wait until he perfected the transition theory between manifestation and emptiness before returning to his second home to try to practice it.
After all, the practice of Pure Yang Gong requires the intake of a large amount of true Qi and spiritual energy.
This return trip was rather hasty. Chen Jue only brought a large piece of life ore with him. Lacking the mind crystal, he could only put the Pure Yang Gong aside temporarily.
…
68 hours later, returning to the cabin, the faint tremor emanating from Chen Jue's body was slowly intensifying, his skin began to gradually turn a dark gold color, the strength of his muscles and fascia began to increase significantly, and even the bones under [internal vision] were stained with a layer of light golden halo.
It is the texture of the bones that is changing, and as a result, the bone density has also undergone a qualitative change!
You should know that the normal bone density T value of ordinary people is approximately between -1 and +1, and a T value ≤ -2.5 can be diagnosed as osteoporosis.
However, Chen Jue's bone T value completely broke the numerical range of normal medical monitoring. If his bones could be dissected open, it would definitely make all orthopedic doctors around the world drop their jaws!
Because the internal condition of this thing's bones can no longer be described with low-end words like "copper skin and iron bones". The stability of those bones with light gold color is comparable to the top-level single crystal alloy!
What is a Single Crystal Alloy?
It is a miracle in materials science, and a super material that any researcher working on metal materials dreams of! It has unparalleled hardness, hard enough to be compared to diamonds in nature, and the atoms inside are perfectly arranged without any flaws. For example, the single crystal blades on fighter aircraft engines are made of this type of material!
One can imagine how terrifying Chen Jue’s current bone strength is!
The life ore with dark gold lines placed next to him was also slowly absorbed, and the dark gold color on it began to gradually dim.
This is because the practice has reached the breakthrough stage, causing a siphon effect.
It has been five months since he was promoted to level 8 during the moon landing. Chen Jue has finally mastered the [Red Dust Golden Body Skill] which is a combination of several hard skills.
At the same time, a new bonus state is awakened:
[Indestructible Golden Body]: At this point, one attains an indestructible body, with golden tendons and jade bones that are difficult to destroy.
Status level: Level 9
Status Effect: Greatly improves the character's physical defense, resistance to impact, recovery ability, etc.
"What a pity, this horizontal training technique has reached its limit and cannot be improved any further." Chen Jue took a look at the word "perfection" displayed on the skill bar and sighed inwardly.
Subconsciously glanced at the property panel:
Name: Chen Jue
Lifespan: 351 (radiation distortion)
Strength: 11.01
Agility: 7.99
Physical fitness: 12.35
Intelligence (brain): 3.67
Free attribute points: 1.22
…
After exiting the cultivation state and adapting to the sudden increase in physical strength, Chen Jue began to communicate with the ground monitoring hall.
Because there are less than 2 hours left until landing, the return capsule has already begun to enter low-Earth orbit and will soon be ready to enter the atmosphere.
Compared with the vacuum environment on the moon, the first thing a spacecraft faces when entering the atmosphere is the air friction caused by high speed.
If the return capsule malfunctions or a gas leak is detected, the astronauts inside may very likely die.
Therefore, the staff in the monitoring hall were on high alert, constantly monitoring the data transmitted from the satellite.
"The return capsule is flying at normal speed!"
"The orbit is normal. We are adjusting the orbit angle. We expect to begin entering the atmosphere in an hour."
"The expected landing site is somewhere in Long Province... Ground rescue forces have assembled and are on standby..." The voices of staff kept coming from the communication channel, and Chen Jue let go of the control panel and put the return capsule into automatic driving mode.
What no one expected was that just as the return capsule carrying Chen Jue entered low-Earth orbit, the solar disc that Chen Jue brought back from his second home suddenly burst into a dazzling light without any warning.
Chen Jue sensed that this strange bronze artifact seemed to have accumulated energy over the past three days. A very special signal wave was radiating outward from the roulette wheel until it penetrated the thin outer shell of the return capsule and headed straight towards the sun.
This burst of energy came without warning, and it went away just as quickly as it came, like a camera flash, disappearing in an instant.
But an extremely ominous omen suddenly rose from Chen's determination!
Because just as this signal fluctuation was stimulated outward for about 500 seconds, the sun at the center of the solar system suddenly burst out with an extremely special light!
This is an astronomical anomaly called a solar flare. Although not as scary as a solar helium flash, compared to a normal sun, the sun at this moment is like a light bulb hanging in the void. After someone presses the switch several times at different frequencies, it begins to flicker several times.
This was followed by a powerful stream of electromagnetic waves and particles spreading from this unusual solar radiation.
Leaping over Mercury and Venus, arriving outside the Earth's atmosphere in 500 seconds!
At this moment, all spacecraft, whether in low-Earth orbit or high-Earth orbit, were disturbed by this abnormal electromagnetic wave.
The satellite lost contact, the space station went offline, and even Chen Jue, who was sitting in the return capsule, felt his whole body tighten and his pores closed, as if he was swept by some invisible attack!
The control panel in front of him with the signal light on suddenly lost power and lost communication with the ground base!
