Earth Era

If the fuel is sufficient, the plan mentioned by Captain Raggle is also a feasible method.

This method is to say that since the sun will explode with energy, then we should avoid it for the time being. We first steer the Red Heart spacecraft away from the sun, and then wait for the energy explosion to pass, then we will return and continue to enter the orbit around the sun. Orbit for detection missions.

Wang Tang answered this question instead of Zhao Huasheng.

"Unfortunately, this method is not feasible. Because the energy storage on the spacecraft is not enough. If you take an emergency acceleration to escape from the sun at this moment, the energy storage of the spacecraft is not even enough to support you to return to orbit around the sun. When the spacecraft is launched , we have prepared all the energy required for the round-trip round trip and the life-support system, and calculated the energy consumed by all the detection missions, and then stored an additional 20% of the fuel on top of this total. , Originally, the fuel reserve is very loose, but things like emergency acceleration or emergency deceleration are not in our plan."

This means that this compromise plan was also rejected.

The current situation is very simple.

If you choose to escape from the sun, you will no longer be able to return to the sun's orbit, which means that the mission has failed. This is no different from returning directly to Earth. To stay in orbit around the sun, to stick to one's job, means death and destruction.

"Execute the order and prepare to return to Earth." Zhao Huasheng said weakly, "Don't make sacrifices in vain."

Zhao Huasheng's words were sent together with Wang Tang's answer. Sixteen and a half minutes later, the ground control base once again received a reply from the Scarlet Heart spacecraft.

The message is only a short sentence.

"No, we still refuse to carry out the order."

The moment he heard these words, Zhao Huasheng's pupils suddenly constricted. Zhao Huasheng did not expect this situation. He did not expect that after the ground control base issued an order, the astronauts in the spacecraft would choose to disobey the order.

At the same time, Zhao Huasheng did not have any way to force them to obey orders. If Wang Tang refused to obey the order, Zhao Huasheng could ask Meng Zhuo to arrest Wang Tang and re-appoint a new mission commander, but... what if the astronauts of the Red Heart spacecraft disobeyed the order?

Now, they are 140 million kilometers away from the earth, and even if they travel at the speed of light, it will take nearly eight minutes to get there. This means that Zhao Huasheng has no way to control those astronauts except for the leadership power above morality.

"No, you can't do this, you must obey my order, return to the voyage immediately, hurry up, it will be too late... You don't know what happened, but I know, you are very dangerous, you may be killed at any time ...Instead of staying there and sacrificing in vain, it is better to return now. This solar exploration mission is doomed to fail, so why do you choose to take your own lives in vain!"

Zhao Huasheng pressed his hands on the table, and the veins on his arms bulged. Zhao Huasheng almost yelled these words. He seemed to have exhausted all his strength, so that his body began to tremble a little.

This passage also begins the departure to the Red Heart spacecraft at the speed of light. But less than two minutes after Zhao Huasheng finished speaking, the letter from the Scarlet Heart spacecraft came here. So Zhao Huasheng knew that before he made the response just now, they had already sent this response.

"We have traveled more than 100 million kilometers to come here, not for tourism." Raggle's voice was full of calmness and determination, "Watson, thank you for worrying about our lives, but you don't know , Long before we left the earth, we already had the awareness to dedicate our lives to this mission. We would rather die in the arms of the sun than return without success. For this mission, we accepted Five years of training, millions of scientists, engineers and workers have dedicated their lives to this. We can't let it go to waste. The whole planet is watching us, we can't do that This kind of thing, we can't pass the barrier of our own conscience."

"We must stay in our jobs, even if the price we pay is death. Since even you, Watson, cannot determine the intensity of the energy burst, let us take a gamble, if we can survive The impact of the energy explosion, we will continue to carry out our mission, if we die under the impact of the energy explosion, we will not blame anyone. Just regard our sacrifice as the nutrient for the growth of human civilization."

In addition to calmness and perseverance, there is also a calmness in Raggle's words. Ragel stated his final decision calmly in this way. There is no fear of death in these words.

Zhao Huasheng didn't know what happened on the Red Heart spacecraft in this short period of tens of minutes, and what kind of mental journey the five astronauts experienced during this period of time. Zhao Huasheng only knew what kind of battle between heaven and man had been experienced between the two choices of sticking to the mission and sticking to the mission. Zhao Huasheng only knew that they finally decided to ignore life and death and stay there.

The atmosphere in the control hall fell into silence at this moment. From these short words, people felt many things.

Zhao Huasheng was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "Tell me, is this your own decision, or the joint decision of the five astronauts? Is there any disagreement?"

Eighteen minutes later, the reply came: "This is our mutual decision."

"We have jointly decided to continue to stick to our posts, so...if you want to save us, please help us find a way to resist the burst of solar energy at a distance of 30 million kilometers."

Captain Raggle sent this message back to Earth, then turned around, looked at his four crew members who were suspended in the air due to weightlessness with a smile, and said with a smile: "So it's decided like this?"

"Yes, we have decided. In order to complete the mission, we will not hesitate to meet us in the end even if it is death." Keira said, "I believe that everyone, like me, has already made preparations when we left the earth." Prepare for life to remain in the vastness of space."

"Of course, everyone knows that this will be a difficult and dangerous journey." A female astronaut said with a smile, "If you want to be a hero who saves the world, how can you not pay a price. Even if I die in the end, my little My daughter can also proudly tell others that my mother sacrificed her life for our human civilization."

"Earlier when I was a child, my wish was that one day when I die, my ashes can be buried in space, accompanied by thousands of stars. Now it seems that my wish is likely to come true soon Ah." Another astronaut said with a relaxed face.

"It is the luckiest thing in my life to be able to fight side by side with you. Thank you, my partners." Captain Raggle opened his strong arms and embraced all four of his companions. Together.

"Captain, being able to work with you is the luckiest thing in my life. If we can escape this catastrophe and return to Earth one day in the future, we must have a good drink together." Kayla said.

"Yes, you must have a good drink, and then call Zhao Huasheng, and we will never get drunk together!" Captain Raggle laughed. Amidst the loud laughter, the heavy atmosphere in the spaceship was swept away.

At this moment, this message has reached the ground control base. Zhao Huasheng turned around and said to Wang Tang: "Then that's the only way. Now... help the astronauts find a way to resist the burst of solar energy at close range."

Wang Tang nodded: "This is what we should do. Before looking for a solution, I need to confirm some things with you. Watson, do you know the type of burst of solar energy? Is it pure light and heat radiation, or X-rays? , gamma rays, beta rays, or the solar wind?"

Zhao Huasheng said: "I can't be sure of this. But judging by my personal speculation, I think it is more likely to be gamma rays and solar wind."

"Okay, I understand." Wang Tang said.

Wang Tang directed the staff to carry out some calculations and simulations, and called material experts, medical experts, radiation experts, etc. for a brief meeting, and then walked to the position in front of Zhao Huasheng, and said into the intercom: "Here It is the ground control center. Lager, I want you to increase the speed of the spacecraft by 50 meters from now on, and give up the observation plan of the impact area. At the same time, I want you to turn off all non-essential instruments on the spacecraft, and only Keep the life support system and communication system, as well as the operation of some necessary equipment. At the same time, adjust the parasol to the following angle... You all hide at the very end of the spaceship, which is the material storage warehouse, and, between you and There are a lot of things piled up between the sun, whether it is equipment, furniture, or various material reserves, all piled up in the past."

"According to the advice of medical experts, from now on, you should take the anti-radiation drugs stored on the spacecraft at the following doses, and the time interval is to take it every four hours until the next instruction is issued by the medical experts. You must equip all vital signs monitoring equipment, and report any discomfort you feel to the base at any time."

"We are researching more ways to resist solar energy bursts. During this period of time, you must keep in touch with us, and the base will send you information as soon as there are results."

"Finally... good luck to you, and good luck to our human civilization."
