Earth Era

When Wang Tang uttered the first sentence, all the voices in the operation hall disappeared, leaving only Wang Tang's powerful voice echoing here.

"Each of the five of them has the toughest mental quality, the strongest body, the most outstanding ability to resist pressure and decision-making, and...the deepest love for our human civilization. They will lead us all The eyes and ears of the scientists who stayed on the earth went into space to go to the sun, leading us to find out what happened on the sun. In a way, they hold our hope." Wang Tang said.

"In fact, in a sense, our human footsteps are still too fast. So far, we humans have only landed on the moon, and have never even been to Mars. Our technological level is not developed enough, and our Our capabilities are not strong enough, our understanding of the space near the sun is not deep enough, and we cannot make too accurate predictions about possible risks, and our technical level is only barely meeting the requirements. But we have no other choice. This solar crisis is the first severe test that our human civilization has faced. We do not have the time, energy and resources to slowly prepare, and the first manned solar exploration mission was carried out in such a hurry. This solar exploration mission It's dangerous, extremely dangerous."

"This is a long round trip of nearly 400 million kilometers. These five heroes will spend six to eight months on the Red Heart spacecraft. No one can predict that after this period of time What kind of dangers and challenges will they encounter. It can be said that from the moment these five heroes set foot on the Hercules launch vehicle, they have given their lives to fate and dedicated themselves to the entire human race. Frankly speaking, I I couldn’t have done it without that courage, and I’m sure most of us in this room couldn’t have done it either. But these five heroes did it, with determination and without hesitation.”

Among the five astronauts, the tallest astronaut said: "There are always some things that need to be done by humans. If we don't do them, what will happen to human civilization? We live in the system of human civilization." In the process, every individual is receiving the protection of civilization while making contributions to civilization. Each of us has a natural obligation to make sacrifices for civilization. So we are not afraid. We only want to complete the task and obtain As long as we have enough scientific and technological information, as for our life and death, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.”

"That's right." A female astronaut said with a very relaxed smile, "I have left a suicide note at home in advance, but I hope that unless it is confirmed that we are dead, I will not open the suicide note."

Wang Tang said: "I am the commander-in-chief of the manned solar observation program. I promise that I will use all my strength to ensure your safety and the smooth execution of the mission. If an accident occurs on the Red Heart spacecraft and you If something unexpected happens, then I will take full responsibility for it, and I will use my life to atone for your sins."

Another astronaut said with a smile: "The mission will be successful. We are very optimistic about the completion of this mission. Before this mission, we have received five years of space navigation training, and we believe that we have the ability to solve the problem. Any unexpected problems we encountered during the trip."

"Very good." Wang Tang nodded. At this time, a staff member came to Wang Tang's side and said something to Wang Tang in a low voice, and Wang Tang said again: "The head of state has received our report, and he wants to speak to you personally."

Wang Tang pressed a button, and the figure of the old man appeared on the big screen in the operation hall. Zhao Huasheng looked at the screen, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking.

The last time Zhao Huasheng saw this old man was about a month ago. In just over a month, the old man seemed to have aged ten years.

The wrinkles on his face got deeper, one by one, like ravines. Although the hair has been dyed, the roots of the hair are still a little pale. His eyes were cloudy, as if he hadn't rested for more than ten days. Even through the screen, Zhao Huasheng could still feel the exhaustion from the old man.

The migration plan of billions of people, the huge construction plan unprecedented in human history, all kinds of rumors, conspiracies, turmoil, cults, food problems, energy problems, traffic problems, etc., all matters require this old man to finally solve the problem. make a decision. If Zhao Huasheng holds half of the destiny of mankind in his hands, then this old man holds everything in his hands.

Although the old man looked extremely tired, his voice was still loud and full of strength. After adjusting the video equipment a little, the old man's loud voice resounded throughout the operation hall: "Heroes, hello."

The five astronauts bowed to the screen together: "Hello, Head of State."

"I don't need to say much about the importance of this mission, you are very clear in your heart. I only have one thing to tell you, no matter where you are, even in the distant starry sky, the entire earth, the entire human civilization will be , and has always been your strong backing. No matter what kind of crisis you encounter, no matter how desperate and fearful you are, don't forget this little blue planet behind you. On this planet live seven of you One billion of the same kind, your relatives, friends, lovers, children, parents, all of them are here, watching you and blessing you.”

"Please rest assured, the head of state, we will definitely complete the task." The five astronauts said together.

The old man rubbed his forehead tiredly, fell silent for a while, finally sighed, and said, "You must come back safely, I, and all the humans on Earth will be here waiting for you."

Perhaps infected by the tragic emotions at the moment, Li Wei's eyes were filled with tears at some point. Li Wei grabbed Zhao Huasheng's hand even harder.

Zhao Huasheng also felt a little heavy in his heart. This is indeed an extremely dangerous mission. From the moment when the Hercules rocket started to launch, every step of this mission has been accompanied by crises, and any small omission may cause an irreparable disaster. For example, a rocket may explode during its launch, and the cause of the explosion may only be a failure of a certain leather gasket; A life may be harvested, not to mention the months-long journey that follows.

But Zhao Huasheng's mood was not just heavy. In addition to heaviness, Zhao Huasheng also possessed some other emotions. I don't know where this emotion comes from, and there is no reason or reason. It just makes Zhao Huasheng flustered and irritated for no reason. It seems that Zhao Huasheng has forgotten something, and this forgotten thing is very important to the manned solar observation. Planning is extremely important.

This feeling is very uncomfortable. Zhao Huasheng tried his best to calm his thoughts, trying to figure out the reason for this point, and it seemed to be coming out soon, even only a thin layer of paper was separated from appearing in Zhao Huasheng's mind. But Zhao Huasheng failed in the end. Zhao Huasheng got nothing, and he still didn't think about it.

Zhao Huasheng finally gave up thinking. Zhao Huasheng lowered his head and said to Li Wei, "I'll go up and talk to them."

Li Wei nodded and let go of Zhao Huasheng's hand. Zhao Huasheng walked up to the rostrum, nodded to Wang Tang first, and then said to the screen: "Hello, Head of State."

"Watson, you're here too." The old man smiled happily, "Why, do you have anything to tell me?"

"No, I want to say a few words to these five heroes." Zhao Huasheng said, and set his eyes on the five astronauts, and the five astronauts also looked at Zhao Huasheng. Zhao Huasheng's mouth moved, but the words finally got stuck in his throat and he didn't say it.

Zhao Huasheng suddenly didn't know what to say. There was a strange irritability in Zhao Huasheng's heart. This irritability faintly made Zhao Huasheng feel that this manned solar observation plan was very inappropriate, but he didn't know why. Since he doesn't know the reason, how can Zhao Huasheng tell it?

Reason told Zhao Huasheng that if there is no definite evidence, then the manned solar observation plan is imperative, and he has no reason to block the plan—could it be that just because of his ominous premonition, so many staff members are forced to go to the sun? Efforts in vain?

The operation hall fell into silence. The five astronauts looked at Zhao Huasheng with doubts. Even Wang Tang, many staff members, and the old man on the screen looked at Zhao Huasheng suspiciously.

There were whispers in the operation hall. Except for Wang Tang, the old man and a limited number of people, no one else knew Zhao Huasheng's special identity. Zhao Huasheng couldn't help but feel very confused when he came here suddenly and didn't speak when he arrived at the rostrum.

"I..." Zhao Huasheng's mouth moved, and he seemed a little depressed and said: "I wish you good luck. You will be able to return to Earth smoothly. When you come back, I want to invite you to drink together."

"Thank you." The tallest astronaut thanked very politely, "We will look forward to this day very much."

Zhao Huasheng fled and returned to the auditorium. Wang Tang reported a few more words to the old man, and the old man's eyes became sharper, and his voice became serious and powerful: "Now, I order that the manned observation program of the sun will officially start! Astronauts enter the rocket and prepare to launch!"
