Earth Era

Chapter 44: Return now!

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 Crimson Heart spacecraft has been running well under my command, and now, you have taken control of the spacecraft away from me with a single word. What's more, you are not an expert in spacecraft, and you do not know the beginning and end of this exploration mission. You are in charge of this spacecraft. What if there is an accident?

Zhao Huasheng can perceive this kind of emotion, but Zhao Huasheng has no time to pay attention to these things. For the safety of the Crimson Heart spacecraft, Zhao Huasheng no longer cares about these details. Zhao Huasheng responded quickly: "I will go to Base No. 1 in an hour."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Wang Tang said. Although there is some dissatisfaction in his heart, this will 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.

"Meng Zhuo, we are in trouble. I want you to arrange for me immediately and take me to the No. 1 launch base within an hour." Zhao Huasheng hurriedly hung up the phone, called Meng Zhuo directly, and then ordered This seems to be a bit of a headless command.

Even by helicopter, it would take three hours to reach Base No. 1 from here. But Zhao Huasheng believed that Meng Zhuo would be able to do it according to his own requirements.

Zhao Huasheng's request was a little unreasonable, but Meng Zhuo just nodded lightly, and there was still no expression on his face. Meng Zhuo took out the device similar to a mobile phone, and after giving a few brief instructions, he took Zhao Huasheng to the top of the building of the Information Deciphering Department by elevator. When Zhao Huasheng just stepped on the roof, a helicopter landed here with a roar. Without any hesitation, Zhao Huasheng opened the door and sat up.

The driver didn't speak either. After Meng Zhuo and Zhao Huasheng both sat up, he flew the helicopter directly into the sky.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely outstanding helicopter pilot. The helicopter he rides is undoubtedly the crystallization of the highest technology of mankind. But at this moment, Zhao Huasheng felt that his car was shaking slightly, as if the car was shaking at a high speed that it could not bear. So Zhao Huasheng knew that the helicopter was moving at the highest speed it could reach.

In the end, Zhao Huasheng arrived at Launch Base No. 1 after only fifty-two minutes. Before the helicopter stopped, Zhao Huasheng jumped out of the helicopter and rushed into the control hall.

"Wang Tang, immediately connect me to the Crimson Heart spacecraft. I want to talk directly to the astronauts. At the same time, I want you to prepare 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 spent countless human and material resources and resources to launch hundreds of rockets. It took more than half a year to finally send the spacecraft to the orbit of the sun. Now, all scientists and the public are looking forward to what the Crimson Heart spacecraft will find, and the Crimson Heart spacecraft has just entered the reservation. Orbit, the official observation mission has just begun... but you asked us to prepare the spacecraft to return?"

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

"If the spacecraft is not far from the sun at this moment, it will be destroyed, so ... do you choose to keep the spacecraft in low-solar orbit or choose to return? I also feel very sad that the efforts of millions of workers have been wasted, but Don't you understand? It's a foregone conclusion that these efforts were wasted. In this case, we must be responsible for the lives of the five astronauts! Don't forget what the Führer once said at the swearing-in meeting. I believe this is also the case of our earth. The common voice of all the human beings: No matter where you are in the solar system, all the human beings on this little blue planet will be your strong backing... Now, you tell me, even if these five astronauts Even if the crew is sacrificed, are you unwilling to let the spacecraft return?!"

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

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

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

Meng Zhuo took a step forward with an expressionless 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 turbid eyes. This solar exploration mission has exhausted Wang Tang's efforts and pinned the expectations of countless scientists, but now... is it going to return with nothing like this?

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

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

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

After saying these words, Zhao Huasheng put his hands on the table and closed his eyes, as if adjusting the anxious emotions in his heart.

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 launched into the vast depths of the universe. But even if they travel at the speed of light, it takes nearly eight minutes from when they leave Earth to when they are picked up by the Crimson Heart spacecraft. Because the Crimson 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 Crimson Heart spacecraft and the sun is 30 million kilometers, the distance between the earth and the Crimson Heart spacecraft cannot be calculated using simple subtraction to calculate. Because both are orbiting the sun and not at the same rate. So the two and the sun are not in a straight line.

The one-way signalling takes eight minutes, and the round-trip takes sixteen minutes. In other words, it would take sixteen minutes at the fastest for Zhao Huasheng to receive a reply from the Crimson 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, it was Captain Lager's shocked voice: "Tell us why. We have just entered the orbit of the sun, we have just officially started our work, and now you are telling us to prepare for our return? Please tell us why. If there is no sufficient reason, we refuse to carry out the order."

Zhao Huasheng took a deep breath and said, "Because of the Moth impactor... I am almost 100% sure that when the Moth impactor hits the sun, there will be an extremely strong impact near the impact site. The burst of solar energy. This burst of solar energy will take your life while destroying the entire ship ~www.novelmt.com~. Also, dodging is of no use. Because time is running out, even if it is possible to maintain orbit You have no way to escape from the energy burst coverage area. So, if you don't want the Crimson Heart spacecraft to be destroyed, if you still want to live, follow my orders and prepare to return immediately! "

If the astronauts refused to carry out the order, Zhao Huasheng would have no way to make the spacecraft return just by relying on the ground control base's control over the spacecraft. Only with the cooperation of the ground control base and the astronauts, the spacecraft can return. The Crimson Heart spacecraft was designed without considering the conflict between the ground control base and the astronauts' wishes.

Sixteen minutes later, the message from the Crimson Heart spacecraft came to the control base: "We don't want to ask you how you determined that the sun will have an energy burst, we just want to ask you, is there any way for the energy intensity of the sun burst? Are you sure? In what order?"

"I can't 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.

Zhao Huasheng responded with a long silence. Sixteen minutes passed, and Zhao Huasheng did not receive an echo from the Crimson Heart spacecraft. It took eighteen minutes before Zhao Huasheng received the message.

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