Chapter 45: No, I refuse
If the fuel is sufficient, the plan that Captain Laguel is talking about is also a viable option.
This method means that since the Yang will have an energy explosion, then we will temporarily dodge, we will first steer the spacecraft away from the Yang, and then wait for the energy explosion to pass, and then we will return and continue to enter the Yang orbit for the exploration mission.
Wang Tang answered this question instead of Zhao Huasheng.
"Unfortunately, this is not an option. Because there is not enough energy reserves on the ship. If you take an emergency acceleration to escape from the sun at this moment, the ship's energy reserves will not even be enough to support you to return to orbit around the sun. At the time of the launch of the spacecraft, we prepared all the energy required for the round-trip round trip and the life support system, and calculated the energy required for all the exploration missions, and then stored an additional 20/20 of the fuel on top of this total. ”
This means that this compromise plan was also rejected.
Now it's very simple.
If you choose to escape from Yang, then you will not be able to return to Yang's orbit, which means that the mission has failed. It's ↖ no different from going straight back to Earth. If you stay in the orbit of the sun and stick to your job, it means death and destruction.
"Carry out the order, and prepare to return to Earth." Zhao Huasheng said a little weakly, "Don't make sacrifices in vain." ”
Zhao Huasheng's words were sent out along with Wang Tang's answer. Sixteen and a half minutes later, the ground control base received another reply from the Crimson Heart.
The message is only a short sentence.
"No, we still refuse to carry out orders."
The moment he heard this, Zhao Huasheng's pupils suddenly constricted. Zhao Huasheng did not expect this situation, and did not expect that after the order was issued by the ground control base, the astronauts in the spacecraft would choose 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 reappoint a new mission commander, but ...... What if the astronauts of the Crimson Heart spacecraft disobey orders?
Now, they are 140 million kilometers away from Earth, and it would take them nearly eight minutes to get there at the speed of light. This means that apart from the leadership power above morality, Zhao Huasheng has no way to restrain those astronauts.
"No, you can't do that, you must obey my orders, hurry, it's too late...... None of you know what's going on, but I know that you're dangerous and you could be killed at any moment...... Rather than stay there and die in vain, it is better to return to the ship right now. This yang detection mission is already doomed to failure, in that case, why do you choose to take your lives in vain! ”
Zhao Huasheng pressed his hands on the table, and the green tendons on his arms burst out. Zhao Huasheng almost roared out this sentence, he seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body, so that his body began to tremble a little.
This passage also begins at the speed of light on its departure for the Crimson Heart. But less than two minutes after Zhao Huasheng said this, the reply from the Crimson Heart spacecraft came here. So Zhao Huasheng knew that before he made that response, they had already sent this response at this moment.
"We've traveled more than 100 million kilometers to get here, not to travel." Raguel's voice was full of composure and determination, "Watson, thank you for your concern for our lives, but you don't know that long before we left Earth, we had the consciousness to dedicate our lives to this mission. We would rather die in the arms of the sun than return in vain. We have been trained for five years for this mission, and tens of thousands of scientists, engineers and workers have dedicated their efforts to this mission, and we cannot afford to waste them. Our compatriots all over the world are watching us, we can't do that kind of thing, and we can't pass our own conscience. ”
"We must stay in our jobs, even if it comes at the cost of death. Since even Watson you can't be sure of the strength of the energy burst, then let's take a gamble, if we can withstand the impact of the energy burst, we will continue to carry out our mission, and if we die under the impact of the energy burst, we will not blame anyone. Let's think of our sacrifice as the nourishment that watered the growth of mankind. ”
In addition to composure and perseverance, there was also a sense of calm in Raguel's words. Ragher calmly stated his final decision. There is no fear of death in this discourse.
Zhao Huasheng didn't know what happened on the Crimson Heart spacecraft in this short period of dozens of minutes, what kind of mental journey the five astronauts experienced during this time, and what kind of battle between heaven and man between death and sticking to the mission post, Zhao Huasheng only knew that they finally decided to ignore life and death and stay there.
The atmosphere in the control hall fell silent for a moment. From these short words, people felt a lot of things.
Zhao Huasheng was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "Tell me, is this your own decision, or the decision of the five astronauts together?" Are there any different opinions? ”
Eighteen minutes later, the reply arrived: "This is our mutual decision. ”
"Together, we decided to stay on top of our posts, so ...... If you want to save us, help us find a way to resist the burst of Yang energy at a distance of thousands of kilometers. ”
Captain Lager sent this message back to Earth, then turned around, looked at his four crew members suspended in the air due to weightlessness with a smile, and smiled: "So it's decided?" ”
"Yes, we decided. In order to complete the mission, we will not hesitate to meet us even if the final thing that greets us is death. Kayla said, "I'm sure you're all like me, ready to leave your life in the void when you leave Earth." ”
"Of course, everyone knows it's going to be a difficult journey." A female astronaut laughed, "If you want to be a big hero who saves the world, how can you not pay a price." Even if I die eventually, my youngest daughter can proudly tell others that my mother sacrificed her life for us human beings. ”
"Back when I was a child, my wish was that one day when I died, my ashes could be buried in the void with thousands of stars. Now it seems that my wish will probably come true soon. Another astronaut said with a relaxed face.
"To be able to work side by side with you is the luckiest thing in my life. Thank you, my fellows. Captain Lagher opened his strong arms and embraced all four of his companions.
"Captain, being able to work with you is the luckiest thing in my life. If we can survive this catastrophe and be lucky enough to return to Earth one day in the future, we must have a drink together. Kayla said.
"Yes, you must have a good drink, and then call Zhao Huasheng, we won't get drunk together!" Captain Lagle laughed. In the midst of this laughter, the heavy atmosphere in the ship was swept away.
At this moment, this message has reached the ground control base. Zhao Huasheng turned around and said to Wang Tang: "Then it can only be like this." Right now...... Help the astronauts find a way to resist the burst of yang energy at close range. ”
Wang Tang nodded: "This is what we should do." Before I look for a solution, I first want to make sure of a few things from you. Watson, do you know the type of burst of yang energy? Is it pure light and heat radiation, or is it X-rays, gamma rays, beta rays, or yang winds? ”
Zhao Huasheng said: "I can't be sure of this. But judging by my personal speculation, I think it is more likely to be gamma rays and yang winds. ”
"Okay, I see." Wang Tang said.
Wang Tang commanded the staff to carry out some calculations and simulations, and convened material experts, medical experts, radiation experts, and others for a short meeting, and then walked to Zhao Huasheng's previous position and said into the intercom: "This is the ground control center. Raguel, I want you to increase the speed of the spacecraft by fifty meters from this point on, and abandon the observation plan for the impact area, and at the same time, I want you to turn off all non-essential equipment on the ship, and only keep the life-sustaining and communication systems, as well as some necessary equipment. At the same time, adjust the parasol to the following corner...... You all hid at the end of the spaceship, that is, the material storage warehouse, and there were a lot of accumulations between you and Yang, whether it was instruments, furniture, or various material reserves, all piled up. ”
"According to the medical experts' advice, from now on, you are to take the following doses of anti-radiation drugs stored on the ship, at intervals of every four hours, until the next order is given by the medical experts. You are to be equipped with all vital signs monitoring equipment, and to report any discomfort you may have to the base at all times. ”
"We're working on more ways to defend against the burst of yang energy, and during this time, you need to keep in touch with us, and the base will send you information as soon as the results are available."
"Finally...... Good luck to you guys, and good luck to us humans. ”
