On the occasion of commemorating the 300th anniversary of the landing on the moon, the 200th anniversary of the landing on fire, and the 100th anniversary of the landing of gold, mankind decided to launch the water plan.

The implementation of the water boarding plan has alarmed the whole world and attracted the attention of many countries, and many large enterprises have prepared a large amount of funds for investment.

The first item of the boarding plan, the construction of spacecraft.

Flying from Earth to Mercury requires a continuous flight of up to five years, and it is manned, plus some valuable equipment, and requires huge rockets. In order to reduce the burden on the rocket, scientists decided to assemble the spacecraft on the International Space Station.

The International Space Station, here is the cargo spacecraft 03, ready to dock.

Cargo spacecraft 03, this is the International Space Station, docking is ready, please continue.

Roger, ISS.

A huge cargo spacecraft carrying a high-powered engine is slowly approaching the International Space Station. Under the careful operation of the astronauts responsible for controlling the spacecraft, the cargo spacecraft accurately docked with the space station's interface.

Whew, finally in.

Captain Colander took off his helmet and straightened his hair.

Hi! Mankind! Yes! Finally see the living!

At this moment, an astronaut floated from the other side and shouted.

Hi there, I'm Captain Collander.

Captain Colander floated over and held out his hand.

Hello hello tsk, it's not easy to see other people. I'm a space station recorder, all in one.

Hello, what, this time we brought a lot of food and water and some oxygen, and we'll move in later, and by the way I'll take some garbage that can't be disposed of.

Okay, no problem, how long are you going to stay?

Well, a couple of hours.

Captain Colander thought for a moment and said.

Okay, come with me.

The concerted recorder led Captain Colland and them to a rest pod, where there were several fixed beds where they could take a temporary break.

Two hours later, after handing over fresh food and water to the concerted hands of the recorders, Captain Colland left the ISS with two others.

According to the regulations of the Space Administration's environmental protection department, no one is allowed to throw garbage away in space, and all garbage must be brought back to the ground.

After the parts of the spacecraft are manufactured on the ground, they will be transported to space by rockets, and the spacecraft will be assembled in space, for which the International Space Station has built a special port for the assembly, repair and replenishment of the spacecraft in preparation for future long-distance flights.

The second item of the water boarding program, astronaut training.

Since it is to land on Mercury, it must be for people to land on Mercury, and this is an astronaut.

Astronaut training takes place on the ground and requires a large area and equipment, as well as the cooperation of many professionals.

However, an astronaut who has to fly non-stop in space for five years, which means that he or she has been away from his family for ten years, even if he or she sleeps most of those ten years, is still daunting for many people.

Only eight people signed up for the training, and in the end five astronauts were needed, one captain, two pilots and two operators. The responsibilities of these five people are not single, some are responsible for communication, some are responsible for maintenance, some are responsible for operating equipment, some need to be psychologists, and so on.

After a series of rigorous training and layers of screening, five astronauts were finally selected.

When the five astronauts fly into space, they will have a day to reunite with their families, because after they go up, they will come down again in ten years.

Driver Liu Yanyue did not return home during the three-month training period, and the family did not know that he had participated in the astronaut screening, and he did not plan to tell his father and mother the good news until he knew that he had finally been selected.

However, his parents had seen their son on the news, his father was smoking a cigarette and saying nothing, while his mother was crying.

The moment Liu Yanyue returned home, his excitement had not calmed down until he saw his helpless father and red-eyed mother.

Later, he learned that his father had always opposed him becoming an astronaut, but his mother fully supported her son's choice, and just made his choice without saying a word, which made his mother a little unacceptable.

Ten years, how many people will have several decades, especially Liu Yanyue's parents. The thought of not seeing her son for ten years made his mother weep again.

Liu Yanyue suddenly felt very sorry for his parents who raised him, but becoming an astronaut was his dream since he was a child, and now, such a dream has come true, but his parents are unhappy.

After a not-so-delicious dinner, Liu Yanyue sat in front of the phone, and her heart was already shaking, whether she wanted to be an astronaut or not, whether she wanted to call the National Space Administration and say that she didn't want to be an astronaut.

If Liu Yanyue wants to give up, he is unwilling, on the one hand, the training fee of hundreds of thousands will be wasted, and on the other hand, the dream of realization will turn into nothingness in an instant, so what will he do in the future? But if you continue to be an astronaut, you may never see your parents again.

Liu Yanyue thought about it for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to make that call and give up becoming an astronaut.

At the moment when Liu Yanyue picked up the phone, his father walked in and sat beside him.

After a night of conversation, Liu Yanyue left home with shame and gratitude.

The third item of the boarding plan is the formulation of the route.

To get to Mercury in the shortest possible time, you need to find a good launch window that will allow the spacecraft to meet Mercury when it flies into Mercury's orbital orbit. There are many things to consider along the way, at the beginning is the gravitational interference of the earth, followed by the gravitational pull of Venus, and finally there is a big sun, the huge gravitational disturbance requires the spacecraft to constantly adjust the flight direction and flight speed during the flight, and a small deviation will be magnified in five years.

Before you know it, this day has come.

The five astronauts walked into the spacecraft under the inspection of technicians, and the people in the harbor were constantly checking the data of the spacecraft and all the instruments and equipment to ensure that there was no mistake.

The ship started.

Boom, the ship spewed a huge tail flame backwards, the bow pointed to the sun, and at this moment, no one would break the silence.

The spacecraft accelerates under tremendous propulsion, and until it reaches its maximum speed, the five astronauts will observe the ship's operation to make sure that there are no problems before entering the sleeping capsule.

After all five people are asleep, the rest can be handed over to the ship's control system, and after five years, the five people will naturally be woken up.

However, the sky was unpredictable, and the spacecraft was flying steadily for two years when it suddenly encountered a sunspot explosion.

A huge amount of energy radiation swept through the ship, directly destroying the ship's control system and propulsion system, and then almost all of the systems were damaged.

Alert! Alert! The spaceship discovers the fire! Please extinguish it in time!

The sirens kept sounding, and the five of them sat up from their sleeping pods in unison.

After a while of checking, everyone was in despair.

First, the communication system was damaged, secondly, the power system was damaged, then the air circulation system was damaged, then the power system was stopped, then the temperature control system collapsed, and the worst thing was that the spacecraft control system had an error and had been shut down.

In the black cockpit, five people, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't speak.

Since the temperature control system had been stopped, the temperature in the spacecraft dropped below zero in a short time, and it continued to fall, and the five people had to put on spacesuits.

However, after a while, an even more desperate thing was discovered, and people saw from the window of the spaceship that there was a yellowish liquid drawn into a line.

It seems that the ship's extracorporeal fuel tank is broken, and it is estimated that all the fuel has been leaked.

Driver Liu Yanyue smiled bitterly.

Now we need to divide the work, everyone is responsible for one system, and we have to fix the ship in the shortest possible time.

Captain Coland looked at the other four people.

I'm in charge of the communication system, I know better.

Then I'll be in charge of the power system.

Then leave the power system to me.

Captain, which system are you going to fix?

Control the system bar.

Okay, then I'll take care of fixing the air circulation system.

Okay, now that you've assigned yourself a task, let's get started.

Basically, all systems need power from the power system, so everyone else is preparing tools, and Liu Yanyue, who is in charge of the power system, has a heavy burden on his body.

The power system is divided into two parts, one is powered by external energy sources, and the other is its own internal backup power supply. Nowadays, both parts are not working, but the spare part inside is the easiest to fix.

After reconnecting a few wires, replacing a few circuit boards, and checking that the structure of the battery was not damaged, Liu Yanyue patted her chest and sighed one after another: Fortunately, fortunately.

The ship's backup power supply can only power basic systems, such as lighting, and low-power motors that are powered by electricity.

With electricity, it is much easier for the captain to repair the control system.

There is a small trouble with the communication system, that is, the communication radar outside the spacecraft is broken, and someone needs to go out and fix it manually, that is, someone has to carry out a spacewalk operation.

Hey, comrades! Good news for you! One of the fuel tanks outside our spaceship is broken, and the other three are intact!

Is it? That's great!

This is the second piece of good news after the restoration of the power system.

This made everyone happy and full of hope for the future journey.

After a while, the air circulation system was also running, and the temperature in the spacecraft slowly began to rise, and everyone no longer had to wear clumsy spacesuits.

However, this was not enough, as the ship's control system could never be repaired. If it can't be repaired, then the spacecraft will fly around, and it is estimated that it has now deviated from the original designated orbit.

After that, the ship's power system returned to normal, and the spacecraft was truly electrified.

After the communication system was also repaired, the captain rushed to contact Earth.

However, after waiting for several minutes, no one responded.

Is it not repaired?

The captain looked back at the astronaut who was in charge of repairing the communication system.

It can't be, all the equipment is normal, the ship's signal tower is also intact, there shouldn't be a problem.

That's weird, how can there be no signal? By the way, you can see if there is any shelter between our ship and the earth.

Okay, I'll take a look.

The astronaut hurried to check the communication.

Today, the spacecraft is positioned between Venus and the Sun, with Mercury on the other side.

Just then, the microphone suddenly went off and someone responded.

It turned out that the signal sent by the spacecraft was intercepted by Venus, and then the relay station on Venus transmitted the signal back to the Earth, and then the Earth transmitted the reply signal to the relay station of Venus, which transmitted the Earth's recovery signal to the spacecraft, and it took a lot of time to transmit back and forth.

After contacting Earth, the captain quickly relayed the current situation to Earth, and Earth's reply was just a few words: Good luck to you.

It can basically be said that the Earth has no intention of sending a rescue team to save them.

All of a sudden, all five of them became discouraged.

Why don't we go back?

At this time, Liu Yanyue came up with an idea.

Return? How do you explain it to them when you go back?

Captain Colander looked at Liu Yanyue.

Yes, they spent a huge amount of money, time, and manpower, and we just went back without doing anything?

Said another driver.

If you want me to say, we really need to go back, and we are not enough to complete the task of climbing the water at the moment.

One person said one by one, some opposed, some agreed, and it was up to Captain Colland to make an idea.

Everyone looked at Captain Colander.

Tell me about the damage to the ship, and I'll decide if I want to continue the mission.

Eventually, Captain Colland decided to continue the mission.

Although the control system was down, Captain Coland still manually returned the spacecraft to its intended orbit and continued to fly towards its destination.

Three years later, they met the planet Mercury that worried them, and they successfully completed the water plan, retrieved a sample of Mercury's land, and left the footprints of humans to set foot on Mercury for the first time.

However, just as the spacecraft accelerated out of Mercury's gravitational range, one of the spacecraft's fuel bays exploded.

It turned out that the fuel tank was consumed with the consumption of fuel inside, coupled with the sudden drop in temperature, which caused a slight deformation of the structure, causing a scratch on the surface to tear apart that was invisible to the naked eye.

The spacecraft fell into countless pieces and landed on Mercury, and the five astronauts remained on Mercury forever.

At this point, the water boarding program has come to an end.

The explosion was captured by a telescope in Earth's orbit by coincidence.

The ground-based space agency urgently held an impromptu press conference to inform the world of the results.

Today is an extraordinary day, on this day, there are five ordinary people who explore the infinite universe with the hope of mankind, and the huge price paid makes people more aware of their own shortcomings.

On this day, the whole world mourns.

A nameplate was made in the spaceship harbor with a photograph printed on it, and five smiles of hope for the future of humanity were permanently preserved.

Soon after, the Denki project was put on the agenda.

Finish.
