The name of the Moth Impactor is taken from the idiom "moths to the fire". Yang is a big fireball, and the Moth Impactor is the moth that fights the fire. It had broken away from the spacecraft more than half a month ago and accelerated on its own, and then crashed towards the sun. The scientists tried to create a small artificial solar earthquake on the surface of the sun, and then use this solar earthquake to observe the operation mechanism of certain physical phenomena under the solar sphere. It would be ideal if this impact allowed the scientists to capture something about the "layer".

A sunquake corresponds to an earthquake, an earthquake is the shaking of the earth, and a sunquake is the shaking of the sun. Under certain physical mechanisms, the surface material of the sun will oscillate with an amplitude of nearly 10 kilometers. During a sunquake, a large number of details of the interior of the yang will be exposed. But finding the ideal site for a solar earthquake is not easy because it is not controlled by humans. That's why this time the Moth impactor hit the sun and created an artificial solar quake.

The shell of the Moth Impactor is made of the strongest heat- and radiation-resistant material that humans can make, and the most reliable observation instruments are installed inside the housing. These instruments will observe the solar corona as it passes through the solar corona and are expected to be burned up when it reaches the chromosphere, but its remains can still pass through the chromosphere and photosphere to reach the true surface of the solar sphere and make an impact.

In order to improve the quality and impact force of the Moth Impactor, in addition to the ballast that was originally prepared, all kinds of non-recyclable garbage generated by the astronauts during this time were also loaded into the Moth Impactor. But even so, the mass of the Moth impactor was only about ten tons. However, thanks to its high speed, the impact of the Moth Impactor was expected to have a solar quake effect that would be observable by the Crimson Heart.

"Kayla, you go and determine the position of the Moth Impactor, and calculate the location of the Moth's impact on the sun again, and we will use this as a basis for the speed and orbit adjustment, making sure that the ship is right above the impact site at the time of the impact." Raguel gave the order, and the astronaut, named Kayla, immediately followed his command.

"At the same time, after entering the orbit of the sun, the distance between us and the sun will reach the closest point, and the resolution of the telescope will also be raised to the maximum. Hopefully, under this supreme essence, our telescopes can find something. Rager said.

"We humans will definitely survive this crisis. Even if our telescopes end up finding nothing, I still believe that. Another astronaut said, "I have confidence in us humans, and at the same time, I have confidence in Zhao Huasheng." ”

Ever since Zhao Huasheng released the Crimson Heart spacecraft to measure the light changes in a random area of Yang, and asked a large number of experts to interpret these signals, the eyes of all those in the know have focused on this most advanced spaceship made by humans.

Although people don't know exactly what Zhao Huasheng wants from here, they know very clearly that this must be very important, even so important that even Zhao Huasheng personally came to the information decipherment department and directly participated in the information decipherment work obtained from the Crimson Heart spacecraft. Although Zhao Huasheng is not a linguist, nor a cryptographer, nor is he a logician, Zhao Huasheng has no way to promote their work here, but Zhao Huasheng still came here. Perhaps this will help Zhao Huasheng's follow-up work, but it may not be necessarily.

Wang Tang's call reached Zhao Huasheng's mobile phone the day after Zhao Huasheng came here. Zhao Huasheng pressed the answer button, and Wang Tang's familiar voice came: "Watson, I have something to tell you, between tomorrow afternoon and six o'clock, the telescope on the Crimson Heart spacecraft will no longer be able to measure the light of the sunny surface area. ”

"Oh? Why is that? Did anything unexpected happen? Zhao Huasheng frowned and asked.

"No, there are no surprises." Wang Tang said, "There is another very important thing that needs to use that telescope. This observation mission will take up hours of its time. After hours, it will be photometriced on the positive surface. In order to prevent an impact on your plans, I need to explain this to you in advance. If you need us to make a time adjustment, please let me know and we can push the observation forward or late by up to an hour. If you ask us to cancel this mission, please explain why. ”

"No, there is no need to cancel the observation mission. Being occupied for hours didn't get in the way of my plans. Zhao Huasheng replied, "I'm just curious, what kind of observation mission is that?" ”

"Oh, it's an observation project about a solar earthquake. The scientists wanted to create an artificial solar earthquake on the surface of the sun to obtain some data from the inside of the sun. The Moth Impactor will be tasked with striking the sun and causing a sunquake. This mission is very important, so we sent that telescope to make observations. Wang Tang replied.

An ominous premonition arose in Zhao Huasheng's mind, which caused Zhao Huasheng to speak in a serious tone: "Why didn't I know that there was going to be such a task to be carried out?" ”

There was some helplessness in Wang Tang's words: "First of all, you didn't ask about the detailed list of our Crimson Heart spacecraft's exploration missions, and then, we don't think there is anything to do with this observation mission and the mission you are performing, and we don't think it's necessary to report this matter to you. ”

"Tell me, can you stop this mission?" Zhao Huasheng asked solemnly.

"As I said, if you think we need to abandon this mission, please tell us your reason, and then the Ministry of Science will evaluate it, and if your reason is really good enough, we can abandon this mission. Or you can report to the Führer, who will give orders directly. Wang Tang said.

"No, you misunderstood me." "I don't mean to occupy the telescope on the spacecraft, I mean...... Can you get the Moth Impactor not to hit the sun? Attention, I'm just asking you, is there any technical means to stop the impact? Yes, or no? ”

Perhaps it was Zhao Huasheng's serious words that infected Wang Tang, and after hearing Zhao Huasheng ask this question, Wang Tang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You wait a minute, I need to calculate it before I can tell you the answer." ”

On the phone, Zhao Huasheng heard Wang Tang give a few instructions in a low voice to others, and then there was no sound. Obviously, Wang Tang is also waiting for the results of the calculations to come out.

After a minute or two, Wang Tang's words came to Zhao Huasheng's ears again: "Watson, I'm sorry, the Moth Impactor is only a little more than a day's journey away from Yang at this moment. Its speed was so fast that it had also used up its own fuel during the previous acceleration process - even if it hadn't run out of fuel, it wouldn't have had enough strength to break free from the Yang's gravitational field at the distance. So, there is nothing we can do to stop the impact from happening at the moment. ”

Zhao Huasheng seemed to have been struck by lightning, and was stunned. After a long time, Zhao Huasheng muttered, "Is there no way?" Is there really no way? ”

"Yes. I'm sorry, Watson, but there's nothing we can do to prevent the impact. Wang Tang said, "Can you tell me what happened?" Why can't we hit the sun? ”

"I can't tell you why at this moment." Zhao Huasheng said quickly as if he had finally recovered from his shock: "Wang Tang, I want to obtain all the command permissions of the Crimson Heart spaceship. I demand that from now on, I will take over control of the Crimson Heart. ”

Wang Tang was silent for a moment, and then replied, "I need an order from the Ministry of Scientific Research, or the Führer, to transfer authority to you." ”

"Okay, I'll ask the Führer for instructions." Zhao Huasheng said and quickly hung up the phone, then walked to a secluded place and dialed the phone of the Führer's office.

In the few seconds he waited for the phone to be answered, Zhao Huasheng remembered many things. Zhao Huasheng remembered the scene when the five astronauts were held at Base 1 before they entered the air. Zhao Huasheng remembered the words of the tall astronaut named Lagel: "If we don't do it, then what will we humans do?" ”

"We only want to complete the task, we only want to get enough scientific and technological information, and as for our life and death, it has nothing to do with the overall situation."

"I have left a suicide note in advance and put it at home." ……

There is no doubt that all five astronauts are heroes. Without any hesitation, they embarked on this journey that could lose their lives at any time. Its purpose is just to contribute a little bit to mankind. It is precisely because they are all heroes that Zhao Huasheng must not let them die in vain, which is why Zhao Huasheng is so anxious.

The call finally came through. Zhao Huasheng quickly reported something to the Führer. So, just a few minutes later, Wang Tang received a direct order from the Führer: "I order, from this moment on, Zhao Huasheng will take over the control of the Crimson Heart spacecraft. ”

"All right, Führer." Wang Tang agreed, and then dialed Zhao Huasheng's phone again: "Watson, from now on,." ”
