Earth Era

The excitement about setting off to the solar system is getting stronger and stronger. Even though Wang Hao is used to staying in the laboratory and not going out much, he is gradually sensing this atmosphere.

When Base 7 and hundreds of other large space bases also joined the migrating fleet, the carnival atmosphere reached a climax. Everyone knows that the large space bases are the last batch to arrive. Their arrival means that the assembly operation has come to an end, which means that it can really start at any time.

Everyone is waiting for that much-anticipated moment, everyone is waiting for the order to set off to come from the mouth of the head of state. But this does not include Wang Hao. On the contrary, Wang Hao was a little anxious at this moment.

Unfortunately, some malfunctions occurred in the emergency test spacecraft. Although it was finally eliminated under remote control, the return time of the spacecraft was slightly delayed. This makes the already scarce time even more urgent.

Fortunately, if everything goes well and Wang Hao and the staff in the laboratory give up their rest time and analyze the data after the spacecraft returns, theoretically they can still draw conclusions before the departure date announced by the head of state.

Time passed quietly in this atmosphere of excitement mixed with uneasiness. Until the third day before the departure date.

The staff in charge of the remote control test spacecraft transferred a message to Wang Hao as quickly as possible. Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension of the past few days finally dissipated.

"Fortunately, these test spacecraft did not malfunction again after the last one. It is expected that the test specimens will be recovered in half a day. We still have two and a half days. If we hurry up, we can get the final results before the departure day. .”

"Hopefully our experiment was a failure. Hopefully there won't be any changes to the experimental items."

Wang Hao's expression began to become a little gloomy.

No one wants to get results from this experiment that are detrimental to humanity. But Wang Hao knows that reality will not change according to human will. This is a gamble related to the fate of human civilization. Although winning or losing has been determined for a long time, people can only know whether they have lost or won when they reveal the cards.

With the return of the experimental spacecraft, the day of unveiling the cards is approaching.

"Do your best and obey fate." Wang Hao whispered, turned and returned to the room.

The time to fight all night is coming, and Wang Hao must ensure enough rest to complete the task before the scheduled time. But just when Wang Hao had just fallen asleep and had not yet settled down, a rapid ringing woke him up again.

The call came from an unfamiliar number and the voice was an unfamiliar voice.

"Is this Biochemical Laboratory No. 105?"

Wang Hao felt a little uneasy, but he still said: "It's me."

"I am the border security spacecraft numbered 936. I regret to inform you that due to security requirements, superiors ordered that the one hundred unmanned experimental spacecraft belonging to your laboratory cannot enter the fleet. We will temporarily detain these The spaceships will not be handed over to you until the superior orders are lifted."

"What?" Wang Hao frowned deeply, and there was a little more anxiety in his voice: "Whether these experimental spacecraft can return as scheduled is related to the success or failure of a major research project in our laboratory. I request you to return these spacecraft immediately , Otherwise, our laboratory may suffer heavy losses."

The voice was still cold and slow, seeming to be telling something that had nothing to do with him: "I'm sorry, I can't let these spaceships go without permission. If you have any objections to our decision, you can apply to my superior for review. You’ll get a reply in three days.”

"Three days, this won't work, there won't be enough time." Wang Hao gradually began to sweat on his forehead, and he was so anxious that even his words trembled: "You..."

Before he finished speaking, a busy signal indicating that the communication was cut off came from the receiver.

The long-distance navigation of tens of millions of spaceships of various types is a very complicated matter. In the near future, it is normal to strengthen security and patrol forces and strictly control the spacecraft entering and leaving the fleet. Wang Hao can completely understand it. But Wang Hao didn't expect that they would block these experimental spacecraft.

They were unable to realize the importance of these spaceships, but Wang Hao was different. Wang Hao knew that he had to find a way to obtain the data before the departure day. After the fleet, everything will be too late. At that point, obtaining or not obtaining this data will be completely meaningless.

Because this fleet is too large and the spacecraft structure is too complicated. It is not a well-trained army with strict orders, but a mixed fleet mixed with a large number of civilian spacecraft. Spaceships have different models, sizes, performance, and energy reserves. It is not an easy task to coordinate and command such a fleet. It is also not easy to stop the existing fleet, and it is even more difficult. difficult. If you stop forcibly, it is likely to cause many accidents and unnecessary casualties.

Wang Hao once saw a report, and it clearly stated that in order to build this fleet, it would take at least ten days to research and prepare, formulate plans, assign different routes to different spaceships, and arrange different locations. Wait, this is under the premise that all the spaceships have gathered together and have basically completed the formation adjustment. And if you want to stop this fleet that has entered normal driving conditions, the time required will be at least ten times longer.

Once it receives the order and finally stops, it may have traveled tens of billions of kilometers. And this has completely traveled beyond the scope of the stellar circle and entered the coverage of nebulae. Coupled with the necessary adjustments required to change course and reset, plus the time it takes to leave the stardust-covered area and enter the stellar circle, the time will exceed two months anyway. And this is completely unacceptable to Wang Hao.

There was a cliff behind him, and Wang Hao had no way out.

Although he was very reluctant, Wang Hao gritted his teeth and called Minister Wu Wei.

"Some unexpected circumstances occurred and our test spacecraft was stopped outside the fleet. Without these test spacecraft, I would not be able to obtain the final conclusion."

Minister Wu Wei was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Maybe this is not important."

Wang Hao opened his eyes wide in shock: "Isn't this important?"

"Except for your laboratory, no scientific research institution has proposed a theory of stardust radiation, and no one else has discovered the existence of this radiation. In fact, experts from the Academy of Physical Sciences have theoretically denied the possibility of the existence of this radiation. Do you...really think you can challenge the entire human scientific community?"

Wang Hao shook his head: "No, I'm just a doctor. I can't challenge the entire scientific community. I can't even challenge any expert in natural sciences. But...it's not me who challenges them, but what's happening right now." reality. If it weren’t for radiation, if it wasn’t for stardust, I couldn’t explain what I encountered.”

Wu Wei said: "You should know that the military is not easy to deal with. And I don't think it is necessary for me to choose you among many scientists."

Wang Hao's expression gradually dimmed.

"You are a qualified doctor, doctor, and you should do what you should do."

Wang Hao raised his head resolutely, and his voice became firmer: "Minister, I don't want to argue with you about which is more important, or whether it's worth it for you to deal with the military. I just want you to understand a risky multiple-choice question. "

"oh?"

"If there is a major crisis that no one else is aware of, but only you are aware of it, and before the crisis comes, you desperately warn the head of state, and finally turn the tide and save the entire civilization from disaster... You should know how important this is to you What does it mean? Even if the possibility is only one in 10,000, so what? How many times do people have such an opportunity in their life? Is it necessary to deal with the military for this opportunity? Is it an unbearable huge price?"

Wu Wei was silent, but Wang Hao clearly heard that his breathing began to become heavier. Wang Hao said nothing more, but waited silently.

After a long time, Wu Wei said: "This requires your cooperation."

Wang Hao immediately said: "If my prediction really comes true, all the credit for discovering this crisis will go to you. I just did some trivial things under your leadership."

"There will be a cargo spacecraft later to transport those test spacecraft to Base 7."

The call was cut off, but the loud thumping sound of his own heartbeat was still echoing in Wang Hao's ears. After sitting in the seat for a few minutes, the tension slowly dissipated.

Wang Hao never thought that at the most urgent moment, he could say so many words and successfully persuade Wu Wei to help him.

"Fortunately, fortunately."

Wang Hao stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Just as Wu Wei said, a few hours later, a cargo spacecraft arrived as scheduled and transported the experimental spacecraft to Base No. 7. All samples were taken out as quickly as possible and then transported to the laboratory.

Data analysis will begin soon. Before entering the laboratory, Wang Hao raised his head and once again glanced at the huge display screen towering in the indoor square.

On the display screen, the head of state will conduct his final inspection, and the inspection target is the military fleet responsible for the safety of this migration. However, what caught Wang Hao's attention was not the military spacecraft with powerful firepower and powerful performance, but the string of constantly beating numbers in the upper left corner of the screen.

There are still a little more than two days left before departure.
