I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 1123 The Aftermath of the Solar Storm

The Carrington-like solar storm nearly destroyed the Asia-Pacific Joint Institute for Deep-Sea Research.

With the establishment of the China Jiangnan Coastal Barrier Act, Dr. Jiang, together with other experts transferred from Shanghai, conducted a special study on the previous solar anomaly.

Therefore, Su Wen can obtain relevant information more easily.

that's it,
He had originally planned to exploit bugs to easily level up in the game, but now he had to start a new round of calculations:

Fortunately, Jiang Menghan had given him a new graphics card before, and he could also access the computing power of Lorenz Rael.

Therefore, Su Wen's verification results this time did not result in the tragic outcome of the system crashing due to the magnitude being too large:

He had made the coffee.

Then, amidst the aroma of coffee, I selected the data simulation option in the preset program.

It was already very late in the Pacific region. Even though the demiplane might not have the same true night as the real world, the Iceberg Girl was already fast asleep, so he didn't disturb her.

Su Wen remained silent, watching the energy explosion model that had already been traced back to its source by multiple joint research institutions, including the Deep-Sea Research Institute.
It began to spread in the simulated universe.

It then descended to Earth as the Carrington Solar Storm, a powerful eruption of energy comparable to a distant supernova.

Even the velocity simulations nearby confirmed that it initially approached the speed of light (approximately 0.3c) to tear apart the interstellar medium.
At last,
It crashes into Earth's magnetosphere like a divine whip, carrying with it X-ray bursts and high-energy proton streams.

Looking at this data projection that resembled a natural disaster, the handsome scholar finally felt a sense of unease.

He remained calm, even revealing a rare hint of doubt:
So,
The extent of damage caused by the electromagnetic storm was actually far greater than the strength of the sky barrier.

Those energies were not only weakened by me, but also redirected to other areas.

【remains】

There is only one answer.

The first electromagnetic storm in Binhai City directly destroyed the entire old town, but in reality, it only affected the edges. Its true destination was 'Border: The Prison of the Divine Abomination'.

No wonder old Constance still decided to activate the [Ancient Ark] even after I had already isolated it from the energy bombardment.

Thinking of this,

Su Wen ultimately decided to share this information with Caroline.

He omitted the data specifically for the old coastal town area and instead used global data from the [Great Wall of Despair] forum as evidence to communicate the details with Ms. Hacker.

For this,

As a leading expert in electromagnetism, Caroline provided the corresponding explanation without hesitation:

"According to Maxwell's equations, when the plasma cloud from the coronal mass ejection during the Carrington Solar Crisis struck the magnetopause, it would trigger a magnetic reconnection effect."

This causes the ring current intensity to surge exponentially, resulting in an induced geomagnetic storm on the Earth's surface that will last for 72 hours.

But in many regions around the world,
The subsequent reactions to this symbiotic crisis were all eliminated.

This situation should not have occurred, given that the peak electric field strength of a solar storm is sufficient to induce geomagnetically induced currents of 10^4 amperes in transmission lines. Furthermore, when the Carrington solar storm broke out, even the cores of some North American power grid transformers were saturated with magnetization within three minutes.

As for this dangerous log...
I saw it by chance.

Although the hacker lady said it was a coincidence, Su Wen believed that this was definitely not a coincidence.

It is highly likely that she stole it from a core database of the U.S. federal government.

However, this conclusion does further demonstrate that the resurrected civilization behind the US federal government is malicious.

Then,

The purpose of the second Carrington-like solar storm impact may not have been solely to destroy the deep-sea research institute. They most likely crashed into the borderlands or ruins deeper than the present world.
After determining this set of information,
Su Wen nodded to Caroline, instantly confirming that the Deep Tokyo Ruins where they were currently located must also contain similar evidence.

If it's not within Deep Tokyo, then it must be in the real Tokyo of today!
He hoped to trace the origin of the attack from the sky by examining similar clues:

"Caroline, how much longer until you break through the Webweaver's data barrier?"

We can't stay here any longer.
Simply damaging the internal surface data structure of the ruins cannot directly affect the crisis of Tokyo's complete submersion into the ruins.

Miss Hacker raised an eyebrow:
“Rhine, it seems you understand that we've only fallen into the first layer of the data prison. Their simulated apocalyptic graveyard isn't complete, but it still perfectly protects the core layer.”
You should return to the real world.

I'll stay here to intervene in the data and buy you time. You and Chie should try to disrupt the external core ritual using her medium abilities.

But hearing her say that,
Chie Natsume, who was constantly honing her skills amidst massive data streams, said with some concern:
"Sister Caroline, if we leave here and leave you to shoulder all this alone, won't that be too much of a burden for you?"

But Caroline merely revealed a captivatingly confident expression befitting a witch:
"I'm in perfect condition right now."

I even feel like I'm almost at the edge of the fifth tier.

A Level 5 Data Master merely doing the work of a Deep Diver is like an easy game for me.

Let's go quickly.
Don't worry about me.

Hearing her seemingly flawless boasting, Su Wen simply sighed:

"Little Ka,"
You've only recently advanced to Tier 4. If you were to actually jump to Tier 5, the Inscribed Gold could drain you dry.

I probably know this better than you do.

After all, although Su Wen had reached the fifth tier through [time travel],
But that was still a true fifth rank.
It's nothing compared to her overdrawn psionic energy and the long-distance signal that's even separated by an entire Pacific Ocean.

If it weren't for the lantern glowing in the afterglow of the lamplight, she might not even be able to maintain a sliver of light for her data collection.

But thinking about this,
Su Wen, who may have come to know her somewhat by now, ultimately did not reveal this fact.

He simply ruffled Chie's hair, then gave the hacker girl his complete trust:

"She wouldn't be overexerted just from fighting a monster that's not fully mature yet."

I believe in Caroline.

But before I leave briefly, let me ease the pressure on you, my older sister. As for Chie, just enjoy watching what it's like to fight as a superhuman.

instantly,

The azure blade of the sword silently rose beside him.

A handsome scholar, his charcoal gray trench coat fluttering in the neon-lit downpour,

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, Caroline only saw the handsome scholar slice through the already somewhat broken glass with a sword.

As the vortex whipped up silvery water droplets from his clothes, he grabbed the rusty fire ladder with one hand and leaped towards the ground.

Do not,
That movement made it seem as if he were flying against the current towards a world of neon lights.

But she is not Lucyna Kushinada, and he is not David Martinez.

Therefore, Caroline has nothing to worry about regarding Rhine.

This is just a one-sided war:
Behind him, shattered red neon signs exploded into fragments of light, like falling stars paving a crimson carpet for him to walk onto the battlefield.

even,

The background noise was mixed with the static from the holographic advertising projection and the dense sound of rain hitting the tempered glass.
