After Zhao Huasheng made this prediction, the three of them waited here for a while, and the information about Li Qi faxed over. Meng Zhuo picked up the stack of materials, glanced at it, glanced at Zhao Huasheng with a little surprise, and then read: "The solar twin exploration plan, the plan launched two exploration satellites to the sun a year and a half ago, among the two exploration satellites, one orbits the sun's equator, and the other orbits the sun's north and south poles...... It was not Richie who was in charge of the program, but Richie served as the general scientific adviser to the expedition; Among them, satellite A, that is, the satellite orbiting around the equator of the sun, lost contact with the earth due to technical failures before reaching the sun, according to the forward orbit calculation at that time, scientists expected that the satellite would fall directly into the sun, and satellite B successfully reached the sun, but after performing a three-month exploration mission, that is, about eight months ago, it also lost contact with the earth due to unknown failures......"

After Meng Zhuo said this information, Li Wei let out a low snort. Because Li Wei found that these things were completely consistent with what Zhao Huasheng said, and there was no deviation at all. But Zhao Huasheng seemed to have expected this a long time ago, so Zhao Huasheng did not show the slightest surprise.

Zhao Huasheng's speculation has been preliminarily confirmed. But that's not enough. Zhao Huasheng still needs evidence, a solid one that no one can refute, and there is not the slightest flawed evidence to perfect his inference.

"Very well, let's start waiting now." Zhao Huasheng said, "Let the Crimson Heart transmit the photometric change data they observed back to Earth at any time, and at the same time, you contact some linguistics and logic, and cryptography experts, and I want them to judge whether the photometric change data transmitted back by the Crimson Heart spacecraft has a logical structure." If there is a logical structure for the photometric variation of an area above the Sun, then Crimson Heart is ordered to keep observing this part and ...... I want experts in logic and linguistics and cryptography to decipher the logical meaning behind this data. ”

Meng Zhuo did not understand what kind of inference Zhao Huasheng had, but Meng Zhuo still faithfully carried out the orders given by Zhao Huasheng. Meng Zhuo left in a hurry, and Zhao Huasheng stood in front of the window again, looking at the dim sun in the distance through the glass.

"The first stage of inference is over." Zhao Huasheng muttered, "From now on, I should make the second stage of inference. ”

The first phase of the work is to find out what happened on the sun, how Litchie had to do with it, and what role he played in this incident. Now, Zhao Huasheng thinks he has found that answer. The second phase of work is how to resolve the incident.

"I didn't use the hints that Director Richie had left me in the first phase of my work. The blank sheet of paper that was specially left for me, and the words that Director Li Qi had told him before he died, were of no use to my previous work. Then I have reason to think that these hints should play a role in the second phase of work. These hints ...... It's telling me how to solve this solar crisis. ”

Zhao Huasheng once again fell into deep thought.

Wang Tang and Zhao Huasheng established a real-time connection. It was up to Wang Tang to find linguists, logicians, and cryptography experts to decipher the Crimson Heart's signals, and as soon as there was progress, Wang Tang would tell Zhao Huasheng.

It was at this time that radio signals from Earth traveled a distance of 90 million kilometers to the Crimson Heart. The Crimson Heart spaceship was quietly suspended in the boundless space of the universe, like a lonely boat floating above the sea.

Here is already close to the orbit of Mercury. Although the sun's radiation level has been reduced by more than 15 percent, the sun is still extremely powerful. At this distance, without the protection of an insulated umbrella, the Crimson Heart would have been baked away in an instant.

Raguel fastened his body to his seat with a seat belt and stared at the image of the sun in front of him. This is a live shot from the Crimson Heart spacecraft, which of course, has been greatly blackened. If the luminosity is not reduced, Rager's retina will be instantly burned by the intense light, and he will be blind forever.

During this long journey, the astronauts spent most of their time waiting. Because the destination has not yet arrived, the work is not onerous. Outside of work, quietly watching the sun and feeling its warmth and strength has become a habit of the captain of the Lagher-Crimson Heart spacecraft.

The interference from the sun was very strong, but the high-gain antenna on the spacecraft still clearly received the signal from the earth. After the electronic assistant reported the contents of the information to Captain Raguel, he unfastened his seat belt and used the auxiliary propulsion device to float through the ship and make it to the operation room.

Yes, the Crimson Heart spacecraft does not have artificial gravity equipment, so the astronauts are in weightlessness. Being weightless for a long time will cause a large loss of calcium in the bones, and the strength of the bones will be greatly reduced, even if the astronauts run on the treadmill for two hours a day with an elastic cord can only temporarily delay this process. It is foreseeable that upon returning to Earth, the astronauts will be unable to stand up at all, like hypochondriacs. But before departure, the astronauts had already made a determination to dedicate their lives to the journey, and a small loss of calcium did not seem to be a big deal.

Under the leadership of Captain Ragel, a total of five astronauts, three men and two women, began to work together. The order sent from above Earth was a bit strange, but they didn't question it.

On the side of the Crimson Heart's ship facing the sun was a thick, parasol-like thing. It is made of ceramic materials that can be highly resistant and insulated, and it is this layer of parasols that blocks the high heat and high radiation that shines on the ship's hull, allowing the spacecraft to operate normally and allowing the astronauts to continue their lives.

Under the control of the astronauts, the edge of the parasol slowly opened a hole. A specially treated optical lens peeks out of the crack. The highly heat-resistant material allows it to work normally even when it is only less than 60 million kilometers away from the sun, and the considerable aperture compared to the current distance from the sun makes it one of the most powerful solar telescopes ever made in human history.

Its resolution accuracy can even reach one square kilometer. The highest accuracy that can be achieved by the Vulcan solar telescope on Earth is nine square kilometers.

The optical telescope takes 100 images per second, and then the other instruments record the luminosity of each image and make it into a table that is presented to the astronauts as data.

Three minutes, that's 18,000 images, 18,000 pieces of data.

But this data is messy. The astronauts, including Captain Lager, did not perceive any useful information from the data. The astronauts sent the data back to Earth – after a five-minute long journey, it was picked up by a network of deep space antennas mounted on Earth and presented on the staff's desks.

The telescope adjusts to a very small angle and then aims at another place above the sun. It also took 18,000 pictures here and then moved on to a third place.

Filming lasted fifteen days. For half a month, the astronauts kept repeating this boring work. While the Crimson Heart spacecraft is highly automated, the task still requires direct human involvement. As a result, the astronauts had to work in five shifts to take on this task.

During these fifteen days, the Crimson Heart spacecraft passed the orbit of Mercury, and because the distance from the Sun was constantly approaching, the image resolution had increased from one square kilometer to 40,000 square meters, that is, an area 200 meters long and wide.

However, there was no order from Earth to terminate the mission, and no other orders came. The astronauts just kept shooting, sending signals, and so on.

Fifteen days of shooting, nothing was found. Logicians, linguists, and cryptologists have not come up with anything useful from this data. It seems to be just some gibberish, just some nonsense data on the movement of plasma on the surface of the sun.

Wang Tang found Zhao Huasheng fifteen days after the start of this mission.

"The Crisis Coordination and Management Center is going to convene a joint meeting and ask you to speak at the General Assembly to explain why and why you are doing this." Wang Tang said, "You must know that the Crimson Heart spacecraft is getting closer and closer to the sun, and it is about to enter orbit around the sun, and many of the original scheduled observation missions have been scheduled, but because the needs of the observation missions you proposed occupy the telescope, these observation missions have all been delayed. The spacecraft has less than four months to observe, and we in human society hope to get some useful data from the sun with the help of the Crimson Heart spacecraft. So...... If you can't make a strong case for it, UNGCT is ready to stop your request for observation. ”
