Chapter 29 The Oath
When Wang Tang said the first sentence, all the sounds in the operating hall disappeared, leaving only Wang Tang's powerful voice echoing here.
"Each of the five of them has the toughest psychological qualities, the strongest body, the most outstanding ability to withstand stress, the ability to make decisions, and... the deepest love for our human civilization. They will take the eyes and ears of all our scientists who stayed on the earth into space to go to the sun, leading us to find out what happened on the sun. In some ways, they have our hopes." Wang Tang said.
"In fact, in a sense, our humans are still moving too fast. So far, we humans have only landed on the moon and have never even been to Mars. Our technological level is not yet developed, our abilities are not strong enough, our understanding of the near-solar universe is not deep enough, and we cannot estimate the possible risks too accurately, and our technical level is only barely meeting the requirements. But we have no other choice. This solar crisis is the first severe test faced by our human civilization. We do not have the time, the energy and resources to prepare slowly, and the first manned solar exploration mission was carried out in such a hurry. This solar exploration mission is very dangerous and extremely dangerous."
"This is a long journey of nearly 400 million kilometers. These five heroes will spend a long six to eight months on the Red Heart spacecraft. No one can predict what kind of dangers and challenges will be encountered during this period. It can be said that from the moment these five heroes set foot on the Hercules launch vehicle, they handed over their lives to fate and dedicated them to the entire human race. To be honest, I don't have such courage, and I can't do this. I also believe that most of us here can't do this either. But these five heroes did it, and they were bold and determined, without any hesitation."
Among the five astronauts, the tallest astronaut said: "There are always some things that people need to do. If we don't do them, what should human civilization do? We live in the system of human civilization. While we contribute to civilization, each individual is also receiving the protection of civilization. Each of us has the natural obligation to sacrifice for civilization. So we are not afraid. We only want to complete tasks and obtain enough scientific and technological information. As for our life and death, it has nothing to do with the overall situation."
"That's right." A female astronaut said with a very relaxed smile. "I have left my suicide note in advance and kept it at home, but I hope that unless we are confirmed to be dead, I will not open the suicide note."
Wang Tang said: "I am the commander-in-chief of this manned solar observation program. I promise that I will use all my strength to ensure your safety and the smooth execution of your mission. If an accident occurs in the Red Heart spacecraft, you will suffer an accident, then I will take full responsibility for it and I will use my life to atone for you."
Another astronaut smiled and said, "The mission will definitely be successful. We are very optimistic about completing this mission. Before this mission, we received five years of space navigation training and we believe that we have the ability to solve any sudden problems we encounter during the journey."
"Very good." Wang Tang nodded. At this time, a staff member walked to Wang Tang and whispered to Wang Tang. Wang Tang said again: "The Head of State received our report and he wants to say a few words to you in person."
Wang Tang pressed a button, and the old man appeared on the large 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 this old man was about a month ago. In just over a month, the old man seemed to be aged in his teenage years.
The wrinkles on his face became deeper, one by one, like gullies. Although his hair had been dyed, the roots still showed a little pale. His eyes were a little cloudy, and it seemed as if he hadn't had a rest for more than ten days. Even through the screen, Zhao Huasheng could still feel the exhausted breath conveyed from the old man.
The migration plan of a population of billions, a huge construction plan that has never been seen in human history, various rumors, conspiracies, turmoil, cults, food problems, energy problems, transportation problems, etc., all matters require the old man to make a final decision. If Zhao Huasheng holds half of the fate of mankind, then the old man holds everything.
Although the old man looked extremely tired, his voice was still loud and full of power. After a little debugging of the video equipment, the old man's loud voice resounded throughout the operation hall: "Hello, heroes."
Five astronauts bowed to the screen together: "Hello, Head of State."
"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 entire earth and the entire human civilization will be, and will always be your strong backing. No matter what kind of crisis you encounter, no matter how desperate or fear you are, don't forget the small blue planet behind you. On this planet are your seven billion kinds of people living here, your relatives, friends, lovers, children, and parents, all here, watching you and blessing you."
"Please rest assured, the head of state, we will definitely complete the mission." said the five astronauts.
The old man rubbed his forehead tiredly, was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "We must come back safely. I, and all the humans on Earth, will be waiting for you here."
Perhaps because of the tragic emotions at this moment, Li Wei's eyes were filled with tears. Li Wei grabbed Zhao Huasheng's hand and tried harder.
Zhao Huasheng was also a little heavy in his heart. This was indeed an extremely dangerous mission. From the time the Hercules rocket began to launch, every step of the mission was accompanied by a crisis, and any small omission could cause an irreparable disaster. For example, the rocket might explode during launch, and the reason for the explosion may be because a certain leather washer had a fault; during air docking, a collision of space garbage as small as a grain of rice may harvest a life, let alone a journey that lasted for several months.
But Zhao Huasheng's mood was not as simple as heavy as heavy. In addition to heavy, Zhao Huasheng also had some other emotions. This emotion came from and there was no reason or reason. It just made Zhao Huasheng feel unreasonable and irritable. It seemed that something had been forgotten by Zhao Huasheng, and this forgotten thing was extremely important to this manned sun observation plan.
This feeling was very uncomfortable. Zhao Huasheng tried to calm down his thoughts and tried to think about this reason. It seemed that it was about to come out, and there was only a thin layer of paper left in Zhao Huasheng's mind. But Zhao Huasheng finally failed, and Zhao Huasheng got nothing, so he still did not think about this.
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 onto the rostrum, nodded to Wang Tang first, and then said to the screen: "Hello, Head of State."
"Warson, you're here too." The old man laughed happily, "Why, do you have anything to tell me?"
"No, I want to say a few words to these five heroes." Zhao Huasheng said, and turned his eyes to the five astronauts, and the five astronauts also looked at Zhao Huasheng. Zhao Huasheng's mouth moved, but his words finally choked in his throat and did not say it.
Zhao Huasheng suddenly didn't know what to say. Zhao Huasheng felt a strange irritability in his heart. This irritability made Zhao Huasheng feel that the manned sun observation plan was very inappropriate, but he didn't know why. Since he didn't know the reason, how did Zhao Huasheng say it out?
Reason told Zhao Huasheng that if there was no definite evidence, then the solar manned observation plan was imperative, and he had no reason to stop the plan - would he have to waste the efforts of so many staff members just because of his ominous premonition?
The operation hall fell into silence. The five astronauts looked at Zhao Huasheng and their eyes turned into questions. Even Wang Tang, many staff members, and the old man on the screen looked at Zhao Huasheng in confusion.
There were whispering sounds in the operation hall. Except for Wang Tang, the old man and a limited number of people, others did not know Zhao Huasheng's special identity. They couldn't help but feel very confused about Zhao Huasheng's sudden arrival here and the rostrum but did not speak.
"I..." Zhao Huasheng's mouth moved and said as if he was a little depressed: "I wish you good luck. You will definitely be able to return to Earth smoothly. When you come back, I want to invite you to have a drink together."
"Thank you." The tallest astronaut thanked very politely, "We will look forward to this day."
