Chapter 29: The Oath

When Wang Tang said the first words, all the voices in the operation hall disappeared, and only Wang Tang's powerful voice echoed here.

"Each of the five of them has the most mental toughness, the strongest body, and the most outstanding ability to withstand pressure and decision-making, and ...... The deepest love for our human civilization. They will take the eyes and ears of all the scientists who remain on Earth and go into space to the Sun and lead us to find out what is going on on above the Sun. In a way, they hold our hope. Wang Tang said.

"In fact, in a sense, we humans are still moving too fast. So far, we humans have only landed on the moon, not even Mars. Our scientific and technological level is not developed enough, our capabilities are not strong enough, our understanding of the near-solar space is not deep enough, our estimation of possible risks cannot be too accurate, and our technical level is only barely up to the requirements. But we had no other choice. This solar crisis is the first severe test facing our human civilization. We didn't have the time, energy or resources to prepare slowly, and the first manned solar mission was carried out in such a hurry. This solar exploration mission is dangerous, extremely dangerous. ”

"It's a two-way journey of nearly 400 million kilometers back and forth, and the five heroes will spend six to eight months aboard the Crimson Heart spacecraft. No one can predict what dangers and challenges will be encountered during this time. It can be said that from the moment these five heroes stepped on the Hercules launch vehicle, they surrendered their lives to fate and dedicated themselves to the entire human race. Frankly, I don't have the courage to do that, I can't do this. I also believe that most of us here will not be able to do that. But these five heroes did it, and they were resolute and resolute, without the slightest hesitation. ”

Among the five astronauts, the tallest astronaut said: "There are always things that need to be done, and if we don't do them, what will human civilization do?" We live in the system of human civilization, and every individual is under the protection of civilization while contributing to it. Each of us has a natural obligation to make sacrifices for the sake of civilization. So we are not afraid. We only want to complete the task, we only want to obtain enough scientific and technological information, and as for our life and death, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

"That's right." A female astronaut smiled very lightly and said, "I have left a suicide note in advance and put it at home, but I hope that unless we are confirmed to be dead, the suicide note will not be opened." ”

Wang Tang said: "I am the commander-in-chief of this manned solar observation program, and I promise that I will use all my strength to ensure your safety and the smooth implementation of the mission." If something happens to you in the Crimson Heart spacecraft, then I will take full responsibility for it, and I will atone for your sins with my life. ”

Another astronaut smiled and said, "The mission will definitely be successful." We are very optimistic about the completion of this task. Prior to this mission, we had been trained in space for five years, and we felt we were capable of solving any unexpected problems we encountered during our journey. ”

"Good." Wang Tang nodded. At this time, a staff member walked up to Wang Tang and whispered something to Wang Tang, and Wang Tang said: "The Führer has received our report, and he wants to say a few words to you personally. ”

Wang Tang pressed a button, and the figure of the old man appeared on the big screen in the operation hall. Zhao Huasheng looked at the screen, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

The last time Zhao Huasheng saw the old man was about a month ago. In just over a month, the old man seemed to be a decade old.

The wrinkles on his face deepened, one by one, like ravines. Although the hair has been dyed, the roots of the hair are still a little pale. His eyes were a little cloudy, and he looked as if he hadn't rested for more than ten days. Even through the screen, Zhao Huasheng could still feel the tired breath transmitted from the old man.

The migration plan of billions of people, the huge construction plan that has never been seen before in human history, all kinds of rumors, conspiracies, turmoil, cults, food problems, energy problems, transportation problems, etc., all matters need to be decided by this old man. If Zhao Huasheng holds half of the fate of mankind in his hands, then this old man has all of it in his hands.

Although the old man looked extremely tired, his voice was still loud and full of strength. After debugging the video equipment a little, the old man's loud voice resounded throughout the operation hall: "Hello heroes. ”

The five astronauts bowed to the screen together: "Hello, Führer. ”

"I don't need to say much about the importance of this mission, you all know it very well. I have only one thing to tell you, no matter where you are, even in the distant starry sky, the whole earth, the entire human civilization will be, and will always be your strong support. No matter what kind of crisis you encounter, no matter how desperate and frightened you are, don't forget this little blue planet behind you. On this planet live seven billion of your kind, your relatives, friends, lovers, children, parents, all here, watching you and blessing you. ”

"Rest assured, we will complete the task." The five astronauts said together.

The old man rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, was silent for a while, and finally sighed and said, "You must come back safely, I, and all the human beings on the earth will be waiting for you here." ”

Perhaps infected by the tragic emotions at this moment, Li Wei's eyes no longer knew when they were full of tears. Li Wei grabbed Zhao Huasheng's hand more and more hard.

Zhao Huasheng's heart was also a little heavy. This is indeed an extremely dangerous mission, and from the moment the Hercules rocket began to be launched, every step of the mission was accompanied by a crisis, and any small omission could cause irreparable disaster. For example, a rocket may explode during launch, and the cause of the explosion may simply be due to a malfunction of one of the leather gaskets. The impact of a piece of space junk the size of a grain of rice could kill a life during an air docking, let alone a months-long journey.

But Zhao Huasheng's mood is not just as simple as being heavy. In addition to heaviness, Zhao Huasheng also has some other emotions. I don't know where this emotion comes from, and there is no reason or reason, it just makes Zhao Huasheng unwarranted panic and irritability, it seems that something has been forgotten by Zhao Huasheng, and this forgotten thing is extremely important to this manned solar observation program.

It's a very uncomfortable feeling. Zhao Huasheng tried his best to calm his mind and tried to think about the reason for this, but it seemed to be about to come out, and even a thin layer of paper appeared in Zhao Huasheng's mind. But Zhao Huasheng failed in the end, Zhao Huasheng got nothing, and still didn't think about it.

Zhao Huasheng finally gave up thinking. Zhao Huasheng lowered his head and said to Li Wei, "I'll go up and say a few words to them." ”

Li Wei nodded and let go of Zhao Huasheng's hand. Zhao Huasheng walked up to the rostrum, nodded to Wang Tang first, and then said to the screen: "Hello, Führer." ”

"Watson, you're here too." The old man laughed very happily, "What, do you have something to tell me?" ”

"No, I'd like to say a few words to these five heroes." Zhao Huasheng said, looking at the five astronauts, and the five astronauts also looked at Zhao Huasheng together. Zhao Huasheng's mouth moved, but the words finally choked in his throat and did not come out.

Zhao Huasheng suddenly didn't know what to say. Zhao Huasheng had a strange irritability in his heart, which faintly made Zhao Huasheng feel that this manned solar observation program was very inappropriate, but he didn't know why. Since I don't know the reason, how can Zhao Huasheng say it?

Reason told Zhao Huasheng that if there was no definite evidence, then the solar manned observation program was imperative, and he had no reason to block the plan at all -- was it just because of his foreboding that so many staff members' hard work would be wasted?

There was silence in the operation hall. The five astronauts looked at Zhao Huasheng, and their eyes also became questions. Even, Wang Tang, many staff members, and the old man on the screen also looked at Zhao Huasheng with puzzled eyes.

Whispers rang out in the operation hall. Except for Wang Tang and the old man and a limited number of people, the others did not know Zhao Huasheng's special identity. I couldn't help but feel very confused about the fact that Zhao Huasheng suddenly came here and didn't speak when he arrived at the rostrum.

"I ......" Zhao Huasheng's mouth moved, and he seemed to be a little depressed and said, "Good luck to you." You'll be able to return to Earth without any problems, and when you do, I'd like to invite you to drink with you. ”

"Thank you." The tallest astronaut politely thanked him, "We're looking forward to this day." ”

Zhao Huasheng fled and returned to the viewing seat. Wang Tang reported a few more words to the old man, and the old man's eyes sharpened, and his voice began to become serious and powerful: "Now, I order, the solar manned observation program officially begins!" The astronauts get into the rocket and get ready for launch! ”
