Chapter 43 This spaceship belongs to you

The name of the Moth striker is taken from the idiom "Moth to Fire". The sun is a big fireball, and the Moth striker is the moth that rushes to the fire. It had already separated from the Red Heart spacecraft and accelerated alone more than half a month ago, and then hit the sun. Scientists tried to create a small artificial sunshade on the surface of the sun, and then used this sunshade to observe the operation mechanism of certain physical phenomena under the solar sphere. If this impact could allow scientists to capture some things about the "reverse fusion layer", it would be ideal.

Sun earthquakes correspond to earthquakes. Earthquakes are the vibration of the earth, while sun earthquakes are the vibration of the sun. Under certain physical mechanisms, the surface matter on the sun will have a vibration amplitude of nearly ten kilometers. During the sun earthquake, a large number of internal details of the sun will be exposed. However, it is not easy to find an ideal sun earthquake location, because it is not controlled by humans. Therefore, this time the Moth impactor hits the sun and creates artificial sun earthquakes.

The shell of the Moth striker is made of the highest intensity heat-resistant and radiation-resistant material that humans can make. The shell is also equipped with the best heat dissipation structure, and the most reliable observation instruments are installed inside. These instruments will observe the sun's corona when passing through the sun's corona layer and are expected to be burned when reaching the color sphere, but its remains can still pass through the color sphere and photosphere layer, reach the real surface of the sun, and launch an impact.

In order to improve the quality of the Moth Impact and increase the impact strength, in addition to the originally prepared silo objects, the astronauts generated various unrecyclable garbage during this period were also loaded into the Moth Impact. But even so, the mass of the Moth Impact is still only about ten tons. However, thanks to the extremely high speed, the impact of the Moth Impact will still achieve a solar shock effect that is sufficient to be observed by the Red Heart spacecraft.

"Keira, you can measure the location of the Moth striker and calculate the location of the Moth striker again. We will use this as the basis for the expansion speed and orbit adjustment, and make sure that the spacecraft is located just above the impact site when the impact occurs." Ragel ordered, so the astronaut named Kaira immediately performed his mission as ordered.

"At the same time, after entering the orbit around the sun, the distance between us and the sun will reach the closest point, and the resolution accuracy of the optical telescope will also be improved to the highest level. I hope that with this highest accuracy, our telescope can discover something." Ragel said.

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

Since Zhao Huasheng released the Red Heart spacecraft to measure the luminosity changes in a random area of ​​the sun and to require a large number of experts to interpret these signals, all the insiders' eyes have focused on the most advanced spacecraft created by humans.

Although people do not know what Zhao Huasheng wants to get from here, people know very clearly that this must be very important, even so important that even Zhao Huasheng personally came to the information deciphering department and directly participated in the information deciphering work obtained from the Red Heart spacecraft. Although Zhao Huasheng is not a linguist, a cryptographer, or a logician, Zhao Huasheng cannot promote their work here, but Zhao Huasheng still comes here. Perhaps this may not be helpful to Zhao Huasheng's subsequent work.

Wang Tang's phone call came to Zhao Huasheng's phone the next day after Zhao Huasheng came here. Zhao Huasheng pressed the answer button, and Wang Tang's familiar voice came over: "Waterson, there is one thing I want to tell you that between 3:00 and 6:00 tomorrow afternoon, the telescope on the Red Heart spacecraft will no longer be able to measure the surface area of ​​the sun."

"Oh? Why is this? Did any accident happen?" Zhao Huasheng asked with a frown.

"No, no surprises." Wang Tang said, "There is another very important observation task that requires the telescope. This observation task will take up three hours of time. It will only take three hours to measure the solar surface again after three hours. In order to prevent shocks on your plan, I need to explain it to you in advance. If you need us to make time adjustments, please let me know that we can advance or delay the observation time by up to one hour. If you ask us to cancel this observation task, please explain the reason."

"No, there is no need to cancel the observation task. Being occupied for three hours does not have any obstacles to my plan." Zhao Huasheng replied, "I am just curious. What kind of observation task is it?"

"Oh, it's an observation project about sun earthquakes. Scientists hope to create an artificial sun earthquake on the surface of the sun to obtain some data inside the sun. The Moth impactor will be responsible for the task of impacting the sun and creating sun earthquakes. This task is very important, so we will draw that telescope for observation." Wang Tang replied.

An ominous premonition arose in Zhao Huasheng's mind, which led to the tone of Zhao Huasheng's subsequent speech becoming serious: "Why don't I know that such a task is going to be executed?"

There was some helplessness in Wang Tang's words: "First, you have not asked about the detailed list of our detection missions on the Red Heart spacecraft. Then, we think there is no relationship between this observation mission and the mission you are performing, and we don't think it is necessary to report this to you."

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

"I said that if you think it is necessary for us to give up this mission, please tell us your reason, and then the scientific research department will evaluate it. If your reason is indeed sufficient, we can give up this observation mission. Or you can report to the head of state and the head of state will directly issue an order." Wang Tang said.

"No, you misunderstood what I mean." Zhao Huasheng said, "I don't mean to occupy the telescope on the spacecraft. I mean... Can you let the Moth striker not hit the sun? Note, I'm just asking you if there are any technical means to stop the impact? Yes, or not?"

Perhaps Zhao Huasheng's serious words infected Wang Tang. After hearing Zhao Huasheng ask this question, Wang Tang hesitated for a moment and then said: "Wait a moment, I need to calculate it before I can tell you the answer."

Through the phone, Zhao Huasheng heard Wang Tang whispering several instructions to others, and then he disappeared. Obviously, Wang Tang was also waiting for the calculation results to come out.

After a minute or two, Wang Tang's words came to Zhao Huasheng's ear again: "Watson, sorry, the Moth striker is only more than one day away from the sun at this moment. Its speed is too fast. During the previous acceleration process, it also consumed all its fuel - even if its fuel was not consumed, with the distance between it and the sun at this moment, it would not have enough power to break free from the sun's gravitational field. Therefore, we have no way to stop the impact from happening at this moment."

Zhao Huasheng was stunned as if he was struck by lightning. After a long time, Zhao Huasheng murmured: "Is there no way? Is there really no way?"

"Yes. Sorry, Watson, we have no way to stop the impact." Wang Tang said, "Can you tell me what happened? Why can't we hit the sun?"

"I can't tell you the reason at this moment." Zhao Huasheng said quickly as if he had finally come back from his shock: "Wang Tang, I want to obtain all the command authority of the Red Heart spacecraft. I ask that from now on, I will take over the control of the Red Heart spacecraft."

Wang Tang was silent for a moment, and then replied: "I need the order of the scientific research department or the head of state to hand over the authority to you."

"Okay, I'll ask the head of state for instructions now." Zhao Huasheng said as he quickly hung up the phone, then walked to a secluded and deserted place, and called the head of the head of state's office.

In the short few seconds of waiting for the phone to answer, Zhao Huasheng remembered many things. Zhao Huasheng remembered the scene when the five astronauts held a oath-taking ceremony at Base 1 before entering space. Zhao Huasheng remembered the words of the tall astronaut named Ragel: "If we don't do it, what should we do if our human civilization?"

"We only want to complete the tasks and obtain enough scientific and technological information. As for our life and death, it has nothing to do with the overall situation."

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

These five astronauts are undoubtedly heroes. Without hesitation, they embarked on this journey that could lose their lives at any time without hesitation. Their purpose is just to contribute a little to human civilization. Because they are all heroes, Zhao Huasheng must not let them die in vain, so Zhao Huasheng is so anxious.

The phone finally answered. Zhao Huasheng quickly reported something to the head of state. So, just three minutes later, Wang Tang received a direct order from the head of state: "My order, from now on, Zhao Huasheng will take over the control of the Red Heart spacecraft."
