The incident has reached its most critical moment. Before this, all the efforts made by Zhao Huasheng and the ground staff, the five years of hard work of millions of scientific research, engineering, logistics and other personnel, as well as the lives of astronauts who were sacrificed by accident in assembling the Red Heart spacecraft, and whether all of them will be wasted, the puzzle of all these answers will be answered within this period of time.

The call process of the ground control base to the Red Heart spacecraft was recorded on the screen. The media seats in the wide control hall were filled with reporters from major TV stations. They carried cameras to record all the pictures in the control hall at this moment, and did not dare to miss a single one. So, Zhao Huasheng's voice was transmitted to all the places on the earth through these cameras: "This is the ground control base, the Red Heart, please answer if you hear it, please answer if you hear it..."

At least seven or eight hundred people had gathered in the control hall. However, the hall was very quiet, and only Zhao Huasheng's slightly anxious voice kept echoing here. So far, Zhao Huasheng had called three times, and twenty minutes had passed since the first call. This time was enough for the radio signal to go back and forth between the earth and the spacecraft. However, the ground control base had never received any reply from space.

At this moment, I don’t know how many people gathered in front of the TV and watched this scene in front of the computer. Amid Zhao Huasheng’s repeated calls over and over again, I don’t know how many people’s hearts were lifted up.

The relatives and friends of the five astronauts were also invited here, and they will witness the entire process of calling the spacecraft at the ground base.

Angelina is a woman in her forties, full of intellectual and mature charm. She is Captain Raggle's colleague while working in the SA. Because Captain Raggle's last message was sent to her, she was also invited here.

Next to Angelina, there was a boy about twelve or thirteen years old. At this moment, the boy asked Angelina, "Mom, has Uncle Raggle lost contact with the earth?"

"No, Uncle Jamie Raggle has not lost contact with the earth. He is just busy, so he can't reply to the call here for the time being." Angelina gently touched the little boy's head and whispered, "Jamie, if Uncle Raggle can return to Earth safely, would you like to make him your father?"

"Uncle Raggle is a very powerful person, and my classmates admire him very much. Will he really become my dad? That's great, I want him to teach me to play rugby." Jamie said excitedly.

"Okay, when he returns to Earth from space, he will become your father." Angelina gently hugged Jamie in her arms, but the worries and anxiety in her eyes could not be erased.

Zhou Mingyu's wife Yang Fei also came here. She is a young woman who looks full of cool and capable demeanor. However, because she is erecting a big belly at the moment, she has a more maternal aura in addition to being cool and capable. The sound of Zhao Huasheng calling the Red Heart spaceship kept coming to her ears, but she always lowered her head and looked at her belly, as if communicating with the unborn little life in her belly.

The deep space communication network consisting of three huge antennas arranged on three different continents is aiming at the location of the Red Heart spacecraft in the calculation. Any signal transmitted there will be captured by them and then restored to sound information and transmitted to the control base. However, except for some background interference, they have never received any useful information. It is reflected in the control base, which is the continuous and uninterrupted thrilling sound, just like the sound when the TV does not have a signal.

Only when there are some different fluctuations in this sting and whirring sound, Yang Fei will raise his head and look at the receiver with expectation. But every time he greets Yang Fei, he is disappointed. Every so-called different fluctuations are actually just fluctuations in the background signal, and they are still meaningless messy signals.

An elderly woman held one of Yang Fei's hands tightly, and the hand was still trembling gently, revealing the tension and panic in her heart. The elderly woman is Yang Fei's mother, and she accompanied Yang Fei to come here.

In addition, Wang Xiao's fiancé, Wang Xiao's parents, relatives, Kaira's relatives, Vivika's daughter, parents and others all came here. Together with Zhao Huasheng, they were anxiously waiting for news about the Red Heart spaceship.

It had been five hours since the solar wind had passed, and Zhao Huasheng stood here for five hours. During these five hours, Zhao Huasheng had no idea how many times he had called again, and even now Zhao Huasheng's voice became a little hoarse, but the ground control base never received a signal from space.

Everyone's hearts were slowly sinking. This was very obvious. The longer the delay, the lower the chance of surviving the Red Heart spacecraft. A low sob sounded in the control hall, but people were desperately suppressing their voices, as if they were afraid that their voice would cover up the reply from the Red Heart spacecraft.

It took a full five hours, no one left, and everyone was still sticking to this place.

The TV station is still broadcasting the live broadcast program here. The host said in a deep tone: "Five hours have passed, but we still have not received any news from the spacecraft. We have interviewed relevant experts. The experts said that a strong solar storm will cause extremely serious damage to the spacecraft. It will damage the electronic components of the spacecraft, causing circuit short circuits, failures and other consequences, and may even completely damage the instrument. If it is serious, the solar storm may also affect the astronauts' bodies, and even kill the astronauts directly with thick protection. According to scientists' assessment of the Red Heart spacecraft and the intensity of this solar storm, and five hours have passed, we still have not received any response... The probability of the Red Heart spacecraft surviving has been lowered to eight percent."

"If the Red Heart spacecraft is destroyed, it will be the most serious disaster in the history of our human exploration of space. The huge spacecraft is destroyed, and the efforts of millions of people are in vain. The most important thing is that the five most outstanding astronauts will also die with the spacecraft. Our human civilization no longer has the ability to launch such a huge solar exploration activity again in a short period of time... So now we can only pray, pray for the five astronauts, pray for the Red Heart spacecraft, and pray for the fate of our human civilization..."

Another two hours passed. Zhao Huasheng's throat was hoarse enough to the point where he would hurt when he spoke. So Zhao Huasheng stepped down and Wang Tang took over Zhao Huasheng's position. The call continued and never stopped.

"Mom, what if Uncle Raggle can't come back?" Jamie asked Angelina.

"Uncle Raggle will definitely come back. Have you forgotten what Uncle Raggle said to you before leaving? He said he would definitely come back before your graduation ceremony and cheer for your show with his mother. You know, Uncle Raggle has always been a keeping his word, so he will definitely not break his promise." Angelina said.

"I believe Uncle Raggle can definitely come back." Jamie nodded very seriously, "Uncle Raggle has never lied to me."

Every time the time passes, the chances of surviving the Red Heart spacecraft are reduced a little. At this slim future and the result is unknown, countless people once again walked out of their homes and came to temples, churches or squares. They tried to pray to any god who knew their name, hoping that some god in the dark could hear their wishes and save the five astronauts who were trapped in a life-and-death crisis.

Two more hours passed. So far, a total of nine hours have passed. The sun has moved from the east to the west, and the light is getting dimmer. The night is coming.

Wang Tang's words also began to become hoarse, but Wang Tang was still repeating the frequency of calls every twenty minutes. People who were stuck in the control hall would leave here briefly only if they had no choice but to solve their physical problems. After rushing to solve their physical problems, they quickly returned here, for fear of missing any information.

People were almost desperate, but the belief in fighting fate that emerged from the bottom of their hearts still supported them standing here.

This is not just a question of whether a spacecraft crashes or not. It is a question of whether the power of human civilization will win or fail in the process of fighting against natural forces.

Wang Tang once again said the words that I don’t know how many times I have repeated: “This is the ground control base, the Red Heart, please answer if you hear it, please answer if you hear it…”

At this moment, a short signal entered the huge antenna of the deep space communication network, and then it was quickly converted into a sound signal and transmitted to the control base, and then played out through the audio equipment, spreading throughout the control hall in an instant, and passed to every corner of the earth through the countless recording equipment, entering the minds of every person who was anxiously waiting.

"Control base, this is the Red Heart spacecraft, please give instructions."
