It was not a hassle, just went there a day in advance.
Ruan Ning rolled her eyes and thought that it was feasible.
When the flood came, it would be dangerous to go out, so she must make a plan.
Just as she was about to continue checking out what else she wanted to stock up on, a news message suddenly appeared on her mobile phone’s browser.
The title was a massive X6.3 solar flare.
Ruan Ning quickly clicked in to take a look.
The news was very simple. It meant that the sun had just erupted with an X-level flare, causing some radio interruptions. This was the 23rd X-level flare that had erupted in this solar cycle, and the number was higher than before.
Given that this was the most active period of the sun, experts said there was no need to worry.
There was also popular science attached. Generally speaking, solar flares were divided into A, B, C, M, and X levels.
The Carrington event occurred on September 1, 1859, which caused the failure of the telegraph system in Europe and North America, produced bad weather, and also allowed people near the equator to witness the aurora.
The solar eruption also caused massive power outages and satellite failures and even scrapped more than 40 satellites at once.
However, experts continued to popularize science. They said that everyone did not need to worry. This solar flare would not cause much harm to human society. If there were aurora enthusiasts, there would be an aurora feast next, so don’t miss it.
Ruan Ning thought to herself that the feast would be even greater in a few days. Humans would see red light covering the sky, and under the dreamlike light, Blue Star would usher in a new round of species elimination.
It was also grand.
After closing the web page, Ruan Ning knew what to buy.
Tinfoil.
Simple, rustic, and probably useful.
When the solar flare erupted, Ruan Ning only had 200 cubic meters of space, so there would definitely be electronic products that could not be put in. On the one hand, it would be necessary to cut off the power to preserve it. She could also wrap it slightly with tin foil.
Just treat the dead horse as a living horse1*死馬當活馬醫, sǐmǎ dàng huómǎ yī: lit. treat a dying horse as a live horse.
Meaning: to keep trying everything in a desperate situation; to resort to desperate measures in desperate times., which was more or less effective.
Especially for electronic products like mobile phones. Even if she put the battery to 0%, who could guarantee that it would be 100% successful?
It was still more reliable to wrap it up.
After all, she planned to store some TV series, movies, novels, and maps. All of which required electronic products.
The house renovation project was not completed until ten o’clock in the evening.
In addition to installing new anti-theft windows, Ruan Ning also installed three anti-theft doors and laid a layer of sound insulation mat inside the house.
Although this looked rough, when running the generator, it could serve as a good cover when the time came.
As for the insulation layer, it was too late. But now all new residential buildings came with their own insulation layer, which would help more or less.
Starting tomorrow, Ruan Ning planned to go shopping in a physical store, mainly to replenish medicines and energy. She could also buy more if she saw what she needed.
Before going to bed, Ruan Ning took out the original novel and started to catch up on the plot.
After all, this was one of her golden fingers.
This novel was a million words long, with various classic events emerging one after another, and the characters were like crucian carps crossing the river2The Chinese idiom ‘crucian carps crossing the river’ (guò jiāng zhī jì) means numerous and confusing.
Origin: After the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, northern nobles came to the south of the Yangtze River one after another, and it was said at that time that ‘there were more famous people crossing the river than crucian carp’. .
Ruan Ning struggled to read about 100,000 words yesterday. Today her activities ended early, so she could read a little more.
In fact, she wanted to sleep more, but time was too precious now, so she could only reduce her rest time.
Reading ten lines at a glance, Ruan Ning could roughly understand what disaster would happen next, what specific evil forces there were, and what connections these characters had. Ruan Ning finished about 400,000 words.
Of course, she was flipping through it quickly and didn’t read it very carefully.
She could also skip the scene where the male protagonist ‘got along’ with the female protagonists.
After reading it, she sighed and finalized her new shopping list.
Iodine tablets and other medicines.
Integrated radiation protection clothes.

Solar Flare (Part-3)
Classification
Scientists classify solar flares according to their peak brightness in X-ray wavelengths. There are five categories, listed here in order from most intense to least intense:
X-class flares are the biggest; they are major events that can trigger radio blackouts around the whole world and long-lasting radiation storms in the upper atmosphere.
M-class flares are medium-sized; they generally cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth’s polar regions. Minor radiation storms sometimes follow an M-class flare.
C-class flares are small with few noticeable consequences here on Earth. At its peak, a C-class flare is ten times less powerful than an M-class flare.
B-class flares are ten times smaller or weaker than C-class flares.
A-class flares are at least ten times less intense than B-class flares, with no noticeable consequences on Earth.
To indicate the strength of a flare, the class letter is often followed by a number. The higher the number, the stronger the flare!
