Annihilation of the solar system

Zhou Cheng looked at Liu Chaowen who had fallen into a coma, shaking and calling to no avail. Song Shi also unbuckled his seat belt and floated over.

"Professor Zhou, what's wrong with Mr. Liu?"

Zhou Cheng patted Chaowen's sweat-moistened cheek with his hand and said in a panic:

"I don't know, he...he's unconscious...!"

As the chief designer of the spacecraft of the Space Control Center, although Song Shi was in space for the first time, he was very familiar with spacecraft and aerospace equipment. He was involved in the design of the shuttle they took and the spacesuits they wore.

and manufacturing.

Song Shi raised Liu Chaowen's arm, glanced at the vital signs data displayed on the computer and said:

"Professor Zhou, you don't have to worry. Chief Liu's vital signs are very stable, he may just be in a coma."

Zhou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and Song Shi said again:

"Please put on your and Commander Liu's spacesuits and seal them. After all, the shuttle is out of order now and we're afraid of an accidental loss of pressure."

Zhou Cheng buckled Liu Chaowen's space helmet visor back, and began to put on the gloves he had taken off.

"Commander Song, such atmospheric showers are not uncommon, but has this spacecraft hit an atmospheric shower before?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"Before the crisis era, we had never encountered this. At that time, the spacecraft did not consider the situation of high-energy particle beams bombarding electronic equipment when designing the spacecraft. After all, the frequency of spacecraft launches was not high at that time.

However, after the beginning of the crisis era, especially after the "Carmen Project" and "Fuyao Project" were put into use, mankind entered the space era. The launch frequency of low-Earth orbit spacecraft has increased by several orders of magnitude than before, and now there are hundreds of sorties every day.

shuttles traveling between heaven and earth.

Before, Europe, North America and our space center have had several situations where spacecrafts have collided with "atmospheric showers", but they were basically cargo spacecrafts, and there were also manned spacecrafts, but the damage was not too serious and no accidents were caused. We

We are also developing relevant protective measures, which I didn’t expect..."

"It should be that the high-energy charged particle flow burned some components of the shuttle control computer. Now the flight control system and communication system are completely useless." Lu Yuanzhou stopped what he was doing, turned around and opened the helmet visor and said.

"Where is the fault analysis system?" Song Shi floated up.

"There is no response, but it seems that the insulation, lighting and air circulation systems are still working independently." Lu Yuanzhou replied.

"Commander Lu, do you still remember our flight speed before losing control?" Song Shi asked.

"It has just reached the escape velocity of the earth." Lu Yuanzhou replied.

Zhou Cheng looked at the huge blue planet outside the window and was on pins and needles. Because he knew that reaching the escape velocity meant that the shuttle would not fly around the earth in low-Earth orbit, but would fly away along an elliptical orbit.

Flying in the direction of the earth.

"Professor Zhou, Chief Master Song. You don't have to worry. The power supply of the shuttle can still be maintained for a few days. The abnormal orbit of our shuttle and the interruption of communication should be discovered by the ground and the star port as soon as possible. They

A rescue spacecraft will be dispatched soon, we just need to wait patiently."

Perhaps the passengers on this shuttle were too important to both mankind and the Earth's defense plan, so the time they waited for rescue in the shuttle did not last as long as they imagined. Soon, two spaceships appeared outside the porthole.

Their configuration is completely different from that of shuttles. They do not have any aerodynamic design. They must be space ships sent by Starport.

"We are about to dock. Return to your seat and secure it." Lu Yuanzhou said.

After Zhou Cheng and Song Shi checked Liu Chaowen's seat belt, they also fixed themselves on the seats according to Lu Yuanzhou's instructions.

After a slight vibration, a spacecraft completed the docking through the docking port on the back of the shuttle. The astronauts responsible for the rescue transferred them into the spacecraft and returned to the star port, while the other spacecraft was responsible for rescuing the damaged shuttle.

Take it back with you.

Returning to the star port, Liu Chaowen, who was still in a coma, made the most careful assessment in the medical warehouse and was urgently arranged for a shuttle to return to the ground. Zhou Cheng and Song Shi could have also taken the same shuttle back to the ground and waited for the next time.

The mission starts again.

But after showing to the ground that they were still capable of completing the on-site survey mission for the lunar high-energy particle accelerator construction project, the command center allowed them to rest for a while at the star port. Then another spacecraft would be arranged to send them to the moon to continue the mission.

Construction of another diamond-shaped space orbital defense turret has begun in the lower dock of the star port. Although the erection of the keel has only been completed at this time, her majestic figure can already be glimpsed.

Song Shi looked out the window at the space orbital turret frame surrounded by dozens of robotic arms and hundreds of spacewalking astronauts, with a look of pride and excitement on his face:

"Professor Zhou, look at them! How beautiful they are! I also participated in part of the design and finalization work. I have seen the design parameters of their weapon system. Three giant electromagnetic rail guns can continuously fire kinetic energy projectiles weighing several tons.

It can turn a city-sized asteroid into a pile of small pieces in a few minutes. According to the predetermined plan, it can be solved in orbit..."

Song Shi was talking happily, but Zhou Cheng didn't seem to be very interested in it. He just said "hmm" out of respect.

"Commander Song, I remember it was just these days. It seems that there is a plan to detect organic organisms in the transfer orbit?" Zhou Cheng asked suddenly.

Song Shi's attention still did not leave the orbital turret under construction outside the porthole window.

"Organism On-orbit Detection Project...you mean the 'Windmill Project'?"

After finishing speaking, Song Shi suddenly withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhou Cheng in surprise:

"Professor Zhou, do you also know about this plan?"

"I heard my wife, Professor Shen Manling, talk about it." Zhou Cheng replied.

The surprise on Song Shi's face faded a little:

"Oh, yes. This plan was proposed by the Earth Defense Research Institute. It is considered a secondary plan. The goal is to use detectors as quickly as possible within a limited budget to conduct close detection of spores and ice debris in transfer orbits.

.The indicators are very high, the budget is limited, and the design is very difficult.”

"Do you know anything about this project?" Zhou Cheng asked.

Song Shi was curious. He thought Zhou Cheng just said it casually while waiting in boredom.

"I was responsible for the design of this project, and I know it very well."

"Then can you tell me the details of this plan?" Zhou Cheng asked.

Song Shi's curiosity turned into surprise and surprise:

"I never thought that a top figure in theoretical physics like you would be interested in such a secondary plan. No problem. I'll talk to you about the details of this plan in detail."
