Earth Era

Chapter 46: What is a Hero?

"The rest depends on luck." After speaking, Wang Tang turned around and spread his hands at Zhao Huasheng.

This is indeed a very helpless thing. People have expended so much energy and resources to finally send this small spaceship into the orbit of the sun. It was originally expected that it could obtain some scientific data useful for solving the crisis, but now, whether this small spaceship can survive in the end Not even sure.

Zhao Huasheng said: "When is the exact impact time of the Moth impactor?"

"Tomorrow at half past three in the afternoon." Wang Tang replied.

"Okay." Zhao Huasheng nodded.

Both Zhao Huasheng and Mengzhuo stayed in Base No. 1, silently waiting for the verdict of fate to come.

After experiencing the riots and the head of state gave a speech, many affairs of the Sun Crisis Coordination and Processing Center have been made public in society. No matter who it is, as long as they log on to the "Voice of Humanity" website, they can obtain relevant information on the latest progress of the solar crisis. Similarly, the itinerary and exploration history of the Red Heart spacecraft will also be announced on this website.

So the incident was quickly known to the public. Through various communication channels, this news spread to all aspects of society at a speed that is almost unbelievable, and it has quickly become the biggest hot spot in society recently.

"At this time, please allow us to pray together for the five greatest astronauts. At the critical moment of life and death, they used their actions to prove their deepest feelings for human civilization. They are not afraid of death, not Afraid of being buried in this vast universe, they are only afraid that the hard work of civilization will be wasted, and they are afraid that this costly exploration mission will return in vain. If this exploration mission fails, at least within five years, our human civilization will be destroyed. None of them have the ability to carry out a second sun exploration mission of such a huge scale. So they choose to stick to their posts and use their lives to gamble on the glimmer of hope in the dark. Ragel, Keira, Wang Xiao, Zhou Mingyu, Vivica, you five are all good, please allow me to pay you my deepest respect."

"It is precisely because there are such heroes in our human civilization that our civilization will always have hope. Whether a person can become a hero does not depend on how much money he has, how much power he has, or how much power he has. How capable he is. If a person has enough sense of responsibility and responsibility to contribute to our civilization, then he is a hero, a hero without a doubt."

"In the legend, the screen characters who fly to the sky and escape from the earth, are omnipotent, and can even destroy a planet with a wave of their hands are not heroes. They can only be regarded as ordinary people with some special abilities at most. In the spaceship of the Scarlet Heart These five people look very weak. Frankly speaking, with the training I have received, if we face each other, I can kill all five of them in a minute. But... I am still an ordinary person, They are the greatest heroes. Heroes are not destroyed physically, but subdued spiritually. I can easily destroy them physically, but my spirit has been subdued by them. This makes me prefer to protect them Give your life."

"When Captain Raggle uttered the words, 'This is our mutual decision and we refuse to carry out the order,' I felt a powerful shock wave hit me completely. For a split second, I couldn't even think. I I don’t know what kind of feelings and how tough their hearts are to support them to say this sentence and make this decision. I don’t know how much courage it takes to make this decision. I only know that they are heroes. Here In an instant, the five of them have become idols that I am willing to follow for the rest of my life."

Almost instantly, messages from people from all walks of life filled the entire page of the "Voices of Humanity" website. Any information from that little spacecraft in the distant space affects the hearts of all human beings on the entire earth.

Many people spontaneously organized and braved the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero to come to squares, churches, temples and other places to carry out large-scale blessing activities. The leaders of the world's major religions also stood up at this time and personally participated in the blessing activities.

Everyone is waiting for the verdict of fate, waiting for three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, which is the time when the Moth impactor will finally hit the sun.

During this process, no one doubted Zhao Huasheng's prediction that "there will be a burst of extremely high-intensity solar energy at the impact point of the moth". Since Zhao Huasheng's prediction that the sun's temperature would stop falling was verified, Zhao Huasheng has become a real savior and has a very high reputation in the whole world. No one will question the correctness of Zhao Huasheng's words.

Unlike the heavy atmosphere on Earth, the Red Heart spacecraft still maintains a brisk atmosphere. The ground control base has just sent some countermeasures against the solar energy burst, and at this moment, these countermeasures have also been fully implemented.

In other words, all the things that can be done have been done, and then it is time to quietly wait for the final moment to come.

Like the usual work and rest habits, the astronauts gathered together, ate dinner amidst jokes, and did a routine inspection of the spacecraft. Usually at this time, the captain Raggle should announce the duty schedule, and then the work that should be done, and the rest that should go to rest. But today is a little different than before.

The astronauts gathered together again, but no one spoke.

"This may be the last night we spend," said Wang Xiao, the youngest astronaut.

Naturally, there is no night on the Red Heart spacecraft. As long as people need it, the spaceship can maintain daytime or night. However, the astronauts have always maintained the habit of working and resting on Earth. They are used to calling the time on the clock after 8 pm night.

Wang Xiao is a woman in her early thirties. Because of being busy with work, Wang Xiao has not been married until now. But she already has a fiancé, and they plan to return to Earth to hold a wedding after Wang Xiao completes this mission.

"It may also be an ordinary one among the tens of thousands of nights we will spend in the future." Captain Raggle said with a smile.

Captain Raggle's joke went unanswered. After the difficult choices of the day, the astronauts are feeling a little heavy in the quiet time.

"Captain, I'm sorry, I'm not hesitant about our decision, I'm just a little sad." Wang Xiao murmured, "If possible, I want to say something to my fiancé."

"Of course you can," said Captain Raggle.

So Wang Xiao entered the communication room alone. After turning on the video recording equipment and audio recording equipment, Wang Xiao said: "Dear Jesse, hello, this may be the last time I speak to you..."

...

"I love you. Even if I end up in space, I will love you and always will."

Wang Xiao only spoke for less than five minutes, and ended his words with the four words "I have always loved you". After pressing the send button to send this message back to Earth, Wang Xiao's eyes were filled with tears in an instant. However, because of the weightless environment here, those tears could not flow from the eyes. So Wang Xiao squeezed his eyes with his hands to squeeze out the tears. Those teardrops were suspended in the air one by one, crystal clear, like pearls.

But when Wang Xiao left the communication room and returned to the meeting room, Wang Xiao had completely returned to normal. Even Wang Xiao could still smile and say in a relaxed tone: "I've already said it, who else wants to say it?"

"I want to say something to my wife." Zhou Mingyu said in a muffled voice.

Before leaving the earth, Zhou Mingyu's wife was already two months pregnant. It was originally planned that after completing the six- to eight-month mission, they would be able to see their sons or daughters when they return to Earth—about whether Zhou Mingyu’s descendants are sons or daughters, the astronauts even There was also a bet, two people bet that it was a son, and two people bet that it was a daughter. However, Zhou Mingyu himself gave up participating in this gamble - but who would have thought that after coming to the orbit of the sun, they would encounter such a thing.

Zhou Mingyu also spoke for less than five minutes before coming out. Then the next one to go in was Vivica.

Vivica is a single mother whose five-year-old daughter has been taken care of by her grandparents. Due to her busy schedule, Vivica has never had much time to take care of her daughter, and even since her daughter was born, Vivica has not seen her daughter many times. But Lager had seen Vivica giggling countless times looking at her daughter's photo.

After Vivica came Keira. After Keira came out, Raggle was the last to enter the communication room.

Lager is a true bachelor. His wife, son, and parents were all killed in an accident, leaving him alone. He has not formed a family until now in his forties.

After entering the communication room, Ragel felt a little dazed. All teammates have someone to talk to, or their lover, or their children, parents, but who should they talk to? This may be the last audio-visual material I left in this world.

Ultimately, Lager decided to leave what could be his last words to Angelina, a female colleague who also works at the space agency.
