Earth Era

After Zhao Huasheng made this prediction, the three waited here for a while, and the information about Li Qi was faxed over. Meng Zhuo picked up the stack of documents, glanced at it, glanced at Zhao Huasheng with a little surprise, and then read: "The Sun Gemini Exploration Plan, this plan launched two detection satellites to the sun a year and a half ago, these two detection satellites. Among the satellites, one revolves around the sun's equator, and the other revolves around the north and south poles of the sun... It was not Li Qi who presided over the plan, but Li Qi served as the chief scientific advisor in this exploration plan; among them, A satellite , that is, the satellite orbiting the equator of the sun lost contact with the earth due to a technical failure before reaching the sun. According to the calculation of the forward orbit at that time, scientists expected that the satellite would fall directly into the sun, and satellite B successfully reached the sun, but After performing the three-month exploration mission, that is, about eight months ago, the contact with the earth was also lost due to an unknown malfunction..."

After Meng Zhuo said the information, Li Wei let out a low cry. Because Li Wei found that these things are exactly the same as what Zhao Huasheng said, and there is no deviation at all. But Zhao Huasheng seemed to have expected this for a long time, so Zhao Huasheng was not surprised at all.

Zhao Huasheng's guess was initially confirmed. But these words alone are not enough. Zhao Huasheng still needs evidence, one that is so solid that no one can refute it, and there is no flaw in it to perfect his inference.

"Very good, then let's wait now." Zhao Huasheng said, "Let the Crimson Heart transmit the luminosity change data they observe back to Earth at any time. At the same time, you can contact some linguistics, logic, and cryptography experts. , I want them to judge whether the luminosity change data sent back by the Crimson Heart spacecraft has a logical structure. If there is a logical structure in the luminosity change data of a certain area above the sun, then order the Crimson Heart to continue to observe this. Parts, and... I want logic experts and linguistics, cryptography experts to decipher the logical meaning behind the data."

Meng Zhuo didn't understand what kind of inference Zhao Huasheng had, but Meng Zhuo still faithfully implemented the orders given by Zhao Huasheng. Meng Zhuo left in a hurry, while Zhao Huasheng stood in front of the window again, looking at the dim sun in the distance through the glass.

"The inference of the first stage is over." Zhao Huasheng murmured, "From now on, I should carry out the inference of the second stage."

The first stage of work is to explore what happened above the sun, what is Li Qi's relationship with this incident, and what role did he play in this incident. Now, Zhao Huasheng thinks he has found the answer. The second stage of work is how to solve this incident.

"I didn't use the hints that Director Li Qi left me in the first stage of work. The blank paper that was specially left for me, and the words that Director Li Qi told me before he died. None of them have been useful in my previous work. So I have reason to think that these hints should be useful in the second phase of work. These hints... are telling me how to solve this solar crisis. "

Zhao Huasheng once again fell into contemplation.

Wang Tang and Zhao Huasheng established a real-time connection. It is up to Wang Tang to find linguists, logicians and cryptography experts to interpret the signal of the Crimson Heart. As long as there is progress, Wang Tang will tell Zhao Huasheng.

At this time, the radio signal from the earth crossed a distance of 90 million kilometers and came to the Crimson Heart spacecraft. The Crimson Heart spacecraft was quietly suspended in the boundless cosmic space, like a lonely boat floating on the sea.

This is close to the orbit of Mercury. Although the radiation level of the sun has dropped by more than 15%, the sun is still very powerful. Above this distance, without the protection of the heat shield, the Crimson Heart spacecraft will be instantly roasted.

Raguel fixed his body on the seat with the seat belt and stared at the picture of the sun in front of him. This is a real-time picture taken by the Crimson Heart spacecraft, of course, it has been greatly extinguished. If the luminosity is not lowered, Rugger's retina will be instantly burned and damaged by the intense light, and he will be permanently blind.

During this long journey, the astronauts spent most of their time waiting. Because the destination has not been reached, the work is not heavy. In his spare time, watching the sun quietly and feeling the warmth and power of the sun has become a living habit of the captain of the Rugger-Crimson Heart spacecraft.

The interference from the sun is very strong, but the high-gain antenna on the spacecraft still clearly receives the signal from the earth. After the electronic assistant reported the information to Captain Ruggle, he unfastened his seatbelt, floated in the spaceship using auxiliary propulsion equipment, and came to the operating room.

Yes, the Crimson Heart spacecraft does not have artificial gravity equipment, so the astronauts are in a state of weightlessness. Being in a state of weightlessness for a long time will cause a large loss of bone calcium, and the strength of the bones will be greatly reduced. Even if the astronauts run on the treadmill for two hours with elastic ropes every day, they can only temporarily delay this process. It is foreseeable that after returning to Earth, the astronauts will be unable to stand up at all like rickets. But before departure, the astronauts had already made up their minds to dedicate their lives to the journey, and a little calcium loss didn't seem like a big deal.

Under the leadership of Captain Lager, a total of five astronauts, three men and two women, started to work together. There was something odd about the order sent from above Earth, but they didn't question it.

The side of the Crimson Heart spacecraft facing the sun is a thick layer of something similar to a parasol. It is made of ceramic materials with high heat resistance and heat insulation. It is this layer of sunshade that blocks the high heat and high radiation to the hull of the spacecraft, so that the instruments in the spacecraft can operate normally, and also allow Astronauts can extend their lives.

Under the control of the astronauts, the edge of the parasol slowly opened a slit. A specially treated optical lens protrudes from the gap. The highly heat-resistant material allows it to work normally even if it is only less than 60 million kilometers away from the sun. In comparison, the caliber is very impressive, and the distance from the sun at this moment makes it a place above human history. The most powerful solar telescope ever built.

Its resolution accuracy can even reach one square kilometer. The highest accuracy that the Vulcan solar telescope can achieve on Earth is nine square kilometers.

This optical telescope will take a hundred images per second, and then other related instruments will record the luminosity above each image, and make a table and present it to the astronauts in the form of data.

Three minutes is 18,000 pictures and 18,000 pieces of data.

But the data is messy. The astronauts, including Captain Lager, did not perceive any useful information from the data. The astronauts sent the data back to Earth—after the five-minute long-distance flight, it was picked up by a network of deep space antennas installed on Earth and presented on the crew’s desks.

The telescope was adjusted by a tiny angle, and then aimed at another place above the sun. It also took 18,000 pictures here, before moving to a third place.

The filming continued for fifteen days. During this half-month period, the astronauts have been repeating this boring work. UU reading www. uukanshu.com Although a high degree of automation has been achieved in the Crimson Heart spacecraft, this task still requires direct human participation. So the astronauts had to be divided into five shifts on this mission.

During these fifteen days, the Crimson Heart spacecraft crossed the orbit of Mercury. Because the distance to the sun has been approaching, the image resolution has been increased from one square kilometer to 40,000 square meters, which is a two hundred meters long. a wide area.

However, there has never been an order to terminate the mission from Earth, and no other orders have come. The astronauts just kept shooting, sending signals, and so on.

Fifteen days of filming, nothing. Logicians, linguists, and cryptographers have not parsed out anything useful from this data. That seems to be just some gibberish, just some nonsense data on the motion of plasma on the surface of the sun.

Wang Tang found Zhao Huasheng fifteen days after the mission started.

"The Crisis Coordination and Handling Center is going to hold a joint meeting and wants you to speak at the meeting and explain your reasons and reasons for doing so." Wang Tang said, "You must know that the Crimson Heart spacecraft is getting closer and closer to the sun, and it will soon be Entering the orbit around the sun, many observation missions originally scheduled have been scheduled, but because the demand for the observation mission you proposed occupies that telescope, these observation missions are all delayed. The spacecraft has only less than four months of observations In time, our human society also hopes to obtain some useful data from the sun with the help of the Crimson Heart spacecraft. So... If you can't make a strong persuasive reason, the Crisis Coordination and Processing Center is ready to stop your observation request."
