Earth Era

There were no emotional fluctuations in Wang Tang's words, but Zhao Huasheng still sensed some dissatisfaction from Wang Tang's words. Zhao Huasheng can understand this emotion - after all, the spaceship Crimson Heart has been operating well under my command, and now, you have taken away the control authority of the spaceship from me with a single sentence. What's more, you are not an expert in spacecraft, and you don't know the whole story of this exploration mission. If you are in command of this spacecraft, what should you do if there is an accident?

Zhao Huasheng could sense this emotion, but Zhao Huasheng didn't have time to pay attention to these things. For the safety of the Scarlet Heart spacecraft, Zhao Huasheng no longer cared about these minutiae. Zhao Huasheng responded quickly: "I will go to base one in an hour."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Wang Tang said. Although he was a little dissatisfied, it did not hinder Wang Tang's obedience to orders and seriousness in his work. Wang Tang himself is also a very good scientist, which can be seen from the fact that he can serve as the commander-in-chief of this solar exploration mission.

"Mengzhuo, we are in trouble. I want you to help me arrange it immediately and take me to the No. 1 launch base within an hour." Zhao Huasheng hung up the phone in a hurry, called Mengzhuo directly, and then issued the order This seemingly endless instruction.

Even by helicopter, it will take three hours to reach Base No. 1 from here. But Zhao Huasheng believed that Mengzhuo would be able to accomplish this matter according to his own requirements.

Zhao Huasheng's request was unreasonable, but Meng Zhuo still nodded lightly, without any expression fluctuations on his face. Mengzhuo took out the device similar to a mobile phone, and after briefly giving a few instructions, he took Zhao Huasheng to the roof of the information deciphering department building by taking the elevator. Just as Zhao Huasheng stepped onto the roof, a helicopter landed here with a roar. Without any hesitation, Zhao Huasheng opened the door and sat on it.

The driver did not speak either. After both Mengzhuo and Zhao Huasheng sat up, he flew the helicopter directly into the sky.

This is without a doubt an exceptional helicopter pilot. The helicopter he was riding in is undoubtedly the crystallization of the highest technology of mankind. But at this moment, Zhao Huasheng felt that his car was trembling slightly, as if driving the car to a high speed that it could not bear. So Zhao Huasheng knew that the helicopter was advancing at the highest speed it could reach.

In the end, Zhao Huasheng came to the No. 1 launch base after only fifty-two minutes. Before the helicopter stopped, Zhao Huasheng jumped off the helicopter and rushed to the control hall.

"Wang Tang, help me connect to the Red Heart spacecraft immediately. I want to talk directly to the astronauts. At the same time, I want you to be ready to control the spacecraft to return immediately." Zhao Huasheng said eagerly.

"What?" Zhao Huasheng's words immediately caused an uproar in the control hall, and even Wang Tang couldn't help frowning, "We have spent endless manpower, material resources and resources, and carried out hundreds of rocket launches , It took more than half a year to finally send the spacecraft to the orbit around the sun. Now, all scientists and the public are looking forward to what the Red Heart spacecraft will discover, and the Scarlet Heart spacecraft has just entered the schedule Orbit, just started the official observation mission...but you let us prepare to return the spacecraft?"

"Do you know what this means? It means that the hard work of millions of staff will be wasted, and it means that an important line for us to obtain sun information is cut off. Zhao Huasheng, are you crazy? I absolutely I will not accept this order, absolutely not." Wang Tang said decisively.

"If the spacecraft is not far away from the sun at this moment, it will be destroyed, then...do you choose to keep the spacecraft in orbit near the sun or return? I also feel very sad about the wasted efforts of millions of workers, but Don't you understand? It's a foregone conclusion that all these hard work was wasted. In this case, we must be responsible for the lives of those five astronauts! Don't forget what the head of state once said at the swearing-in meeting. The common aspiration of all human beings on the planet: No matter where you are in the solar system, all human beings on this little blue planet will be your strong backing... Now, you tell me that even if these five astronauts Even if the crew is sacrificed, you are not willing to let the spaceship return?!"

Zhao Huasheng has always been a very gentle person, but now, Zhao Huasheng's tone is very severe.

Wang Tang was startled suddenly: "What did you say? Why was the spaceship destroyed?"

"You will know soon." Zhao Huasheng said, his tone became severe again: "Execute the order! Otherwise, I have the right to arrest you now and re-appoint a new mission commander!"

Meng Zhuo took a step forward with a blank face, and said indifferently: "Please execute the order immediately."

Wang Tang seemed to have aged a lot at this moment, and even some tears flowed from Wang Tang's cloudy eyes. This solar exploration mission exhausted Wang Tang's efforts and entrusted the expectations of countless scientists, but now...is it necessary to return with nothing like this?

Wang Tang waved his hand weakly, and said to the people in the control hall, "Follow Watson's order."

The ground staff immediately began to obtain the position, orbit and speed of the Red Heart spacecraft at the moment, and began to calculate the return trajectory, and made some necessary preparations for the return. It was at this time that a direct communication channel with the spacecraft was opened.

Standing in front of the audio and video equipment, Zhao Huasheng said in an unquestionable tone: "Astronauts on the Scarlet Heart spacecraft, hello, I am Zhao Huasheng. From now on, I will take full control of this spacecraft. Now I I order you to make preparations for the return flight of the spacecraft immediately. After the ground staff sends you the return orbit parameters and speed parameters, I ask you to immediately start the regular power engine of the spacecraft and escape from the sun with the maximum power. The speed of leaving the sun will be related to The survival of the entire spacecraft and yourselves. Repeat, after receiving the relevant parameters, immediately escape from the sun with maximum power."

After saying this, Zhao Huasheng put his hands on the table and closed his eyes, as if he was adjusting his anxious emotions.

Zhao Huasheng knew that his words had been transformed into radio signals. These radio signals have left the earth at the speed of light through the deep space communication network composed of three large antennas located on different continents arranged above the earth, and have been sent to the depths of the vast universe. But even if they travel at the speed of light, it will take nearly eight minutes from the time they leave the earth to being received by the Red Heart spacecraft. Because the Scarlet Heart spacecraft is too far away from the earth, the distance is a full 140 million kilometers.

Although the distance between the earth and the sun is 150 million kilometers, and the distance between the Red Heart spacecraft and the sun is 30 million kilometers, when calculating the distance between the earth and the red heart spacecraft, we cannot use simple to calculate the subtraction. Because both are orbiting the sun, and at different speeds. So the two and the sun are not in a straight line.

One-way signaling takes eight minutes, and round-trip takes sixteen minutes. In other words, it would take sixteen minutes at the fastest before Zhao Huasheng received a reply from the Scarlet Heart spacecraft.

Zhao Huasheng began to wait silently.

At sixteen and a half minutes, the Earth Control Base received a reply from the spacecraft. In the reply, there was Captain Raggle's shocked voice: "Tell us why. We have just entered the orbit around the sun, and we have just officially started our work, but now you tell us that we are preparing to return? Please tell us why. If there is not enough reason, we refuse to carry out this order."

Zhao Huasheng took a deep breath, and then said: "Because of the Moth impactor... I am almost 100% sure that when the Moth impactor hits the sun, there will be extremely strong explosions near the impact site. A burst of solar energy. This burst of solar energy will kill you while destroying the entire ship. At the same time, dodging is useless. Because time is running out, even if you do it at the highest speed limit that can maintain orbit Even if you dodge, you have no way to escape the area covered by the energy burst. Therefore, if you don’t want the Red Heart spacecraft to be destroyed, if you still want to live, follow my order and prepare to return immediately!”

If the astronauts refused to execute the order, Zhao Huasheng would have no way to return the spacecraft based on the control authority of the ground control base for the spacecraft. Only with the cooperation of the ground control base and astronauts can the spacecraft return home. The Scarlet Heart spacecraft was designed from the very beginning without considering the conflict between the ground control base and the wishes of the astronauts.

Sixteen minutes later, a message from the Red Heart spacecraft came to the control base: "We don't want to ask you how you are sure that the sun will explode with energy, we just want to ask you, is there any way to deal with the energy intensity of the sun's explosion?" Are you sure? Which order of magnitude is it probably in?"

"I have no way to be sure. The only thing I can be sure of is that it must be powerful enough to destroy the entire spaceship and take your lives." Zhao Huasheng replied.

There was a long silence in response to Zhao Huasheng. Sixteen minutes passed, and Zhao Huasheng did not hear back from the Scarlet Heart spacecraft. It was not until eighteen minutes later that Zhao Huasheng received the message.

"Please help us to calculate whether our fuel is enough to support us after avoiding this energy burst away from the sun, and then turn back and re-enter the orbit around the sun?"
