Chapter Forty-Four: Return Now!
There was no emotional fluctuation 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 spaceship has been operating well under my command, and now, you have taken control of the spaceship away from me with a single word. What's more, you are not an expert in spacecraft, and you don't know the whole story of this exploration mission.
Zhao Huasheng could sense this emotion, but Zhao Huasheng didn't have time to pay attention to these things. For the safety of the Crimson Heart spaceship, Zhao Huasheng couldn't take care of these trivial things. Zhao Huasheng quickly responded: "I will go to Base 1 in an hour." β
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Wang Tang said. Although there was some dissatisfaction in his heart, this did not prevent Wang Tang from obeying orders and taking his work seriously. 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 yang exploration mission.
"Monjo, we're in trouble. I want you to arrange for me to take me to Launch Base 1 within an hour. Zhao Huasheng hung up the phone in a hurry, called Meng Zhuo directly, and then gave this seemingly headless order.
γβ
Even by helicopter, it would take hours to get from here to Base 1. But Zhao Huasheng believes that Meng Zhuo will definitely be able to do this according to his own requirements.
Zhao Huasheng's request was a little unreasonable, but Meng Zhuo still only nodded lightly, and there was still no expression on his face. Meng Zhuo took out the instrument similar to a mobile phone, and after giving a few brief instructions, he took Zhao Huasheng to the roof of the information decipherment department building by elevator. At the same time that Zhao Huasheng had just stepped on the roof of the building, a helicopter had already landed here with a roar. Zhao Huasheng didn't hesitate, opened the door and sat down.
The driver also did not speak. After Meng Zhuo and Zhao Huasheng both sat up, he flew directly into the sky with the helicopter.
This is undoubtedly an outstanding helicopter pilot of its kind. The helicopter he flew in was undoubtedly the culmination of the highest technology of mankind. But at this moment, Zhao Huasheng felt that his car was trembling slightly, as if it was trembling when driving the car to 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 the No. 1 launch base only fifty-two minutes later. Before the helicopter could stop, Zhao Huasheng jumped off the helicopter and rushed to the control hall.
"Wang Tang, help me connect the Crimson Heart spaceship immediately. I'm going to talk directly to the astronauts. In the meantime, I want you to get ready to control the ship's 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 endless manpower, material resources and resources, carried out several times, and it took more than half a year to finally send the spacecraft to the orbit of the sun...... You're telling us to get the ship back? β
"Do you know what that means? This means that the hard work of tens of thousands of staff members will be wasted, and it means that an important line for us to obtain Yang information will be cut off. Zhao Huasheng, are you crazy? I will definitely not take this order, absolutely not. Wang Tang said categorically.
"If the ship is not far away from the sun at this moment, it will be destroyed, then...... Do you choose to keep the spacecraft in near-solar orbit or choose to return? I also feel very sad that the hard work of tens of thousands of staff has been wasted, but don't you understand? It is a foregone conclusion that these efforts will be wasted, and in this case, we must be responsible for the lives of those five astronauts! Don't forget what the FΓΌhrer said at the General Assembly, and I believe that this is also the common sentiment of all human beings on our earth: no matter where you are in the solar system, all human beings on this little blue planet will have your back...... Now, you're telling me that even if you sacrifice these five astronauts, you won't let the spacecraft go back?! β
Zhao Huasheng has always been a very gentle person, but now, Zhao Huasheng's tone is very harsh.
Wang Tang was suddenly stunned: "What did you say?" Why was the spaceship destroyed? β
"You'll find out soon." Zhao Huasheng said, his tone became stern again: "Execute the order!" Otherwise, I have the right to arrest you now, and then reappoint a new mission commander! β
Meng Zhuo took a step forward with an expressionless face, and said indifferently, "Please execute the order immediately." β
Wang Tang seemed to have aged a lot at this moment, and even some tears flowed out of Wang Tang's cloudy eyes. This yang exploration mission exhausted Wang Tang's hard work and pinned the hopes of countless scientists, but now, ...... Do you want to return home like this?
Wang Tang waved his hand weakly and said to the people in the control hall, "Execute Watson's orders." β
The ground crew immediately began to obtain the position, orbit and speed of the Crimson Heart spacecraft at this moment, and began to calculate the return orbit and make some necessary preparations for the return home. It was also at this time that direct communication with the ship 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 have full control over this spacecraft. Now I order you to prepare for the return of the spacecraft at once, and after the ground staff have sent you the return orbit parameters and speed parameters, I ask you to immediately start the spacecraft's regular power engines and escape from the sun at maximum power. The speed with which you leave the sun will be a matter of survival for the entire ship and for yourselves. Repeat, immediately after receiving the relevant parameters, flee from the yang at maximum power. β
After saying this, Zhao Huasheng pressed 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 converted into radio signals. These radio signals have left the earth at the speed of light and are emitted into the depths of the universe through a deep space communication network composed of large antennas located on different continents arranged on the earth. But even if they were to move at the speed of light, it would take nearly eight minutes between the time they left Earth and the time they were received by the Crimson Heart. Because the Crimson Heart spacecraft is far away from Earth, this 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 and the Yang is 10 million kilometers, it cannot be calculated by simple subtraction when calculating the distance between the Earth and the Crimson Heart. Because both of these are revolving around yang, and they don't move at the same rate. So these two, as well as yang, are not in a straight line.
The signal relay takes eight minutes each way and 16 minutes for the round trip. In other words, it will take sixteen minutes at the earliest for Zhao Huasheng to receive a reply from the Crimson Heart spacecraft.
Zhao Huasheng began to wait silently.
Sixteen and a half minutes later, Earth Control received a reply from the spacecraft. In reply, it was Captain Laguel's shocked voice: "Tell us why." We've just entered the orbit of the sun, we've just started our work, and now you're telling us that you want us to prepare for the return voyage? Please tell us why. If there is not enough reason, we refuse to carry out this order. β
Zhao Huasheng took a deep breath, and then said, "Because of the Moth Impactor...... I'm almost certain that when the Moth Impactor hits Yang, a strong burst of Yang energy will occur near the site of impact. This burst of yang energy will destroy the entire ship and take your life. At the same time, dodging is useless. Because time is running out, there is no way for you to escape the area covered by the energy burst, even if you dodge at the maximum speed that can maintain the orbit. So, if you don't want the Crimson Heart spaceship destroyed, if you still want to live, listen to my orders and prepare to return at once! β
If the astronauts refused to carry out the order, Zhao Huasheng would not be able to return the spacecraft only with the control authority of the ground control base for the spacecraft. The spacecraft must cooperate with the ground control base and the astronauts before it can return home. The Crimson Heart spacecraft was designed from the outset without a ground control base and the astronauts' wishes in mind.
Sixteen minutes later, a message from the Crimson Heart spaceship arrived at the control base: "We don't want to ask you how you are sure that the energy burst of Yang will occur, we just want to ask you, is there any way to determine the energy of the Yang burst?" Approximate in what order? β
"I have no way of knowing for sure. The only thing I know for sure is that it must be powerful, powerful enough to destroy an entire ship, enough to take your life. Zhao Huasheng replied.
Zhao Huasheng responded to a long silence. Sixteen minutes passed, and Zhao Huasheng did not hear back from the Crimson Heart spacecraft. It wasn't until eighteen minutes later that Zhao Huasheng received the message.
"Please help us calculate if we have enough fuel to support us after avoiding this burst of energy away from the sun, and then turn back and re-enter the orbit around the yang?"
