Earth Era

If there is enough fuel, the plan mentioned by Captain Lager is also a feasible solution.

This method is to say that since the sun will have an energy explosion, then we will temporarily avoid it. We will first control the Crimson Heart spacecraft to stay away from the sun, and then wait for the energy explosion to pass, then we will come back and continue to enter the circle of the sun. Orbit for exploration missions.

Wang Tang answered this question on behalf of Zhao Huasheng.

"Unfortunately, this method is not feasible. Because the energy reserve on the spacecraft is not enough. If you take emergency acceleration to escape the sun at this moment, the energy reserve 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 and the life support system, and calculated the energy consumed by all the detection tasks, 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 solution has also been rejected.

The current situation is very simple.

If you choose to escape from the sun, you will not be able to return to the orbit of the sun, which means that the mission fails. This is no different from returning to Earth directly. If you stay in orbit around the sun and stick to your job, it means death and destruction.

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

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

The message is only a short sentence.

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

The moment he heard this sentence, Zhao Huasheng's pupils suddenly shrank. 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 chose to disobey the order.

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

Now, they are 140 million kilometers away from the earth. Even if they travel at the speed of light, it will take nearly eight minutes to get there. This means that, apart from moral leadership, Zhao Huasheng has no way to control those astronauts.

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

Zhao Huasheng pressed his hands on the table, and blue veins burst out on his arms. Zhao Huasheng almost shouted out these words, he seemed to have used up all his strength, so that his body began to tremble.

This sentence also started to set off for the Crimson Heart spacecraft at the speed of light. But less than two minutes after Zhao Huasheng said this, the reply letter from the Crimson Heart spacecraft came here. So Zhao Huasheng knew that they had already sent this response before he made the response just now.

"We came here over a distance of more than 100 million kilometers, not for tourism." Lager's voice was full of calmness and determination, "Watson, thank you for your concern for our lives, but you don't know , long before we left the earth, we already had the consciousness 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 must not waste them. The whole earth is watching us, we can't do that We can't get past our own conscience."

"We must stay in our jobs, even if the price is death. Since even Watson you can't be sure of the intensity of the energy burst, let's take a gamble if we can survive it. The impact of the burst of energy, we will continue to carry out our mission, if under the impact of the burst of energy, we eventually die, we will not blame anyone. Take our sacrifices as nutrients for the growth of human civilization."

In addition to composure and perseverance, Lager's words also contained a sense of calm. Lager said 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 Crimson Heart spacecraft in these short dozens of minutes, and what kind of mental journey the five astronauts went through during this period of time. Zhao Huasheng only knew that they finally decided to ignore life and death and stay there.

The atmosphere in the control hall fell silent at this moment. From these brief words, people felt a lot of things.

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

Eighteen minutes later, a reply came: "This is our common decision."

"We jointly decided to stay on the job, so... if you want to save us, please help us find a way to resist the sun's energy explosion at a distance of 30 million kilometers."

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

"Yes, we have decided. In order to complete the task, even if we are finally greeted with death, we will not hesitate." Kayla said, "I believe that everyone, like me, has already done a good job when they left the earth. The preparation for life to stay in this vast space."

"Of course, everyone knows that this will be a arduous journey." A female astronaut laughed. "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."

"As early as when I was a child, my wish was that when I die one day, 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. My friends, thank you." Captain Lager opened his strong arms and embraced all his four companions. Together.

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

"Yes, be sure to have a good drink, and then call Zhao Huasheng, we won't get drunk together!" Captain Lager laughed. In this loud laughter, the heavy atmosphere in the spaceship was swept away.

At this moment, this information has come to 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 way, I must first confirm some things with you. Watson, do you know the type of solar energy bursts? Is it pure light and thermal radiation, or X-rays? , gamma rays, beta rays, or the solar wind?"

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

"Okay, I understand." Wang Tang said.

Wang Tang instructed the staff to conduct some calculations and simulations~www.novelmt.com~ and convened a brief meeting with material experts, medical experts, radiation experts, etc., and then walked to the position before Zhao Huasheng, facing the The intercom said: "This is the ground control center. Rugger, I want you to speed up the spacecraft by 50 meters from now on, and give up the observation plan for the impact area. At the same time, I want you to close the spacecraft above. All non-essential instruments, only the life support system and communication system, and the operation of some necessary equipment. At the same time, adjust the parasol to the following angle... You all hide at the end of the spacecraft, which is the material storage warehouse, Also, pile up a lot of items between you and the sun, whether it is instruments, furniture, or all kinds of material reserves, all piled up."

"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, at intervals of every four hours, until the next order from the medical experts. You must equip all vital signs monitoring equipment and report any discomfort you feel to the base at all times.”

"We are researching more ways to resist the outbreak of solar energy. During this period, you should keep in touch with us, and the base will send you information as soon as there is a result here."

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