In the year 2050 AD, the sun is affected by an unknown influence, and a helium flash is imminent!
Is Earth in danger?
It doesn't matter, I'll make a move!
The Trisolaran s...
Time is passing by faster than ever.
“Now that the sun has become a white dwarf, it can no longer release as much heat as before. Consequently, Titan’s surface temperature will be even lower.” Lü Yongchang shrugged and pointed at Titan in the projection.
"However, there's no need to worry."
"The temperature inside Titan is quite high. This energy mainly comes from the high pressure inside the planet, the decay of radioactive material in the core, and the friction of the core material caused by Saturn's gravity."
Therefore, these jellyfish will most likely survive.
"But things might not be so sure about the future."
"After Jupiter absorbed a large amount of material ejected by the Sun, it first became a brown dwarf, and then a red dwarf. I won't go into how chaotic the solar system was during this process."
"The key point is that this process is very long, and will last at least tens of thousands of years."
"Even if these jellyfish manage to escape this disaster, they will still have to face Jupiter, which will become a red dwarf star."
"Once Saturn and Titan's new orbits get too close to the red dwarf, these jellyfish will face another catastrophe."
Lu Yongchang looked at Gao Yang with a smile: "Do you understand now?"
"Your concerns are most likely unnecessary."
Gao Yang nodded blankly: "Thank you, Professor Lü."
Lu Yongchang waved his hand, turned off the holographic image in front of him, and stood up from his chair: "Alright, I should go too."
"Once the solar storm passes, we'll have to head towards the Kuiper Belt."
(To clarify, a real helium flash only occurs in the Sun's core. Most of the energy from a helium flash is used to drive changes in the core, while a small portion is blocked by the hydrogen layer on the Sun's surface. Simply put, the internal reactions of the Sun are extremely violent, but nothing is visible on the surface.)
