Earth time, June 2012.

The Kunlun base has long been reserved for China, and after nine months of hard work, the Nuwa spacecraft has been completed.

This is a variation of the Kunlun that Huang Ji designed.

The design concept and technology have been learned by Chinese scientists, and they even made improvements based on actual conditions.

Of course, the changes were even worse, all parameters were lowered across the board, and the various weapons originally designed were directly abandoned and replaced with more sophisticated detection instruments and communication devices.

The whole has also become larger, but the materials are cheaper.

This change is actually more in line with China's industrial base. The production time is short, the materials used are cheap, and the overall cost has more than doubled.

But in any case, this is the first nuclear-powered spacecraft produced by China itself.

It can carry six people and accelerates up to 20,000 kilometers per second, which is more than enough to cross the solar system.

Today, traveling in space is no longer an unattainable luxury.

However, compared to freely exploring the solar system and colonizing on other planets, humans have a heavier task to do... to reverse the abnormal activity of the sun!

Gamma-ray bursts are still more than thirty years away, but the 2012 solar coronal mass eruption is already in sight.

Although this is not enough to exterminate mankind, it will destroy mankind's existing society. Most electronic instruments and communication satellites will collapse, and no radio communication will be possible for at least one year.

Scientists predict that this wave of explosion will also increase the overall temperature of the earth by six degrees! Entering the era of extreme heat, the polar glaciers will melt in large areas, releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide.

If the global temperature rises by three degrees, human beings can no longer stop the global warming trend, let alone six degrees?

By then, the sea will flood the continent and at least 70% of terrestrial life will be extinct. As a result, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continues to increase, the acidity of sea water is greatly increased, marine dinoflagellate organisms become extinct, young fish cannot eat, and 90% of marine organisms become extinct within one month, most of which die from lack of oxygen and acidic water.

This disaster will be no less than any biological extinction in history.

Although with the current human technology, relying on nuclear fusion can continue and will not be extinct, it will obviously make people unable to withstand future gamma-ray bursts. Even without gamma-ray bursts, human beings cannot accept a devastated world.

Of course, there is a candle dragon, and there is a guarantee measure. With the candle dragon, they are not eligible to join the Star Alliance.

Therefore, it is inevitable to prevent this great eruption of the sun.

In any case, mankind does not want to face a sharp decline in population and social collapse, and can only survive the dilemma.

At this moment, the big countries all over the world pin their hopes on China, and China pin their hopes on this Nuwa ship. This is an action to patch the sky!

"The deceleration is complete and it has entered the Mercury synchronous orbit."

"No, the solar wind intensity is severely exceeded! This is 30% higher than our estimate!"

"How can it be so much higher! Increase the power of the magnetic shield!"

The six astronauts on the Nuwa were facing a severe test as soon as they slowed down the spacecraft.

The orbit of Mercury is too close to the sun. It faces the impact of high-energy particles released by the sun anytime and anywhere, and the concentration is much higher than that of the earth.

Technically, there is actually a material that can withstand this solar wind. If it is used as the outer armor of the spacecraft, it is not only okay to be bombarded, but it can also be charged.

However, this kind of material cannot be produced with the existing technology in China.

Now that time is tight and the task is heavy, scientists have to retreat and choose cheaper materials, with the magnetic shield module installed on the spacecraft, so that the Nuwa can get close to the sun.

Although it can get close to the sun, the source may become a problem again.

The magnetic shield is a kind of magnetic field shield, and energy is needed to maintain it at all times.

The stronger the solar wind, the more energy they need to consume. Although the 30% fault tolerance rate was left at the beginning of the design, unexpectedly, the solar wind intensity was higher than the estimated one. Thirty, directly approaching the limit.

"This is just the orbit of Mercury! When we put the colorful stones to the estimated coordinates, it must be close to the chromosphere layer, where the intensity will only be higher."

"The plan can't keep up with the changes, Captain Liu, we are close to the sun now, and the mission is very likely to fail."

Many crew members were paying attention to the parameters while reporting quickly, cold sweat permeating their foreheads.

This mission can only succeed, not fail.

It is very difficult for the earth to build a second spacecraft in a short time. Even if it is built, it will only be more difficult than them, because the abnormal activity of the sun is closer to the outbreak period, the more difficult it is to stop!

This is their first long voyage mission. They did not expect to go to the moon or Mars, but to the sun directly...

Lack of experience, lack of data, and when it comes up, it is the burden of saving mankind. Even if they are the elite of thousands of choices, they can't help but be nervous.

At this time, the middle-aged man known as Captain Liu said calmly: "Prepare to land on the back of Mercury!"

"The solar wind intensity on the dark side of Mercury will be slightly lower, and Mercury has been bombarded all year round, and the surface itself is rich in helium-3."

"We can try to replenish, and...Lao Zhang, pass the situation here to Kunlun Base."

He arranged it methodically, decided on the occasion, changed his plan, and first landed on the back of Mercury.

This Captain Liu, full name Liu Tengkong, and the rank of colonel, is actually more than fifty this year, but he was twenty years younger after being injected with a genetic medicine.

Not only him, but also other people, which makes a group of them look very young.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. Kunlun Base has also considered this situation. We have plan B. We will land first." As the captain, he is the Dinghai Shenzhen on the Nuwa and must be calm and calm.

"Yes!" Everyone did not hesitate to execute his orders, and they saw the Nuwa flying around Mercury and starting to land.

It can be seen that the 3,000-meter cliff terrain on the surface of Mercury can be seen everywhere, where there are a huge number of craters and radial stripes of volcanic lava.

Finding a relatively flat area, the Nuwa landed steadily.

The performance of this spacecraft is much stronger than that of the space shuttle in the past, such as the use of arms, and it is extremely strong, and it does not matter if it bumps occasionally.

At this moment, five crew members put on their spacesuits and walked out of the cabin.

Their spacesuits are divided into inner and outer layers. The outer layer is the same as before, but with better materials and lighter weight. As for the inner layer, it is an advanced light golden nano film.

If the outer spacesuit is damaged and only the inner nanomembrane is worn, it can survive in a vacuum.

"Old Zhang, you stay and communicate with the earth."

"Others follow me to collect helium-3."

Liu Tengkong directly drove out a tracked vehicle, which had its own drill bit and collector, and had a load of over two tons.

Putting such a big car in the spacecraft was unimaginable before, but now it is easily achieved.

They drove the car, galloping on the surface of Mercury, looking at the skylight curtain of the distant horizon, their hearts beating.

This is the first time they have landed on an extraterrestrial planet. Although they have simulated many times on the earth, the simulation is a model. When done on the ground, the depression and shock brought by this environment are unimaginable.

Mercury is very small, and the sun is very big, the distance between the two is close!

Even though the place where you are at this moment is a dark side where the sun can't reach it, which is equivalent to night, the horizon in all directions is still full of sunlight!

The whole world is like a dark island, in the center of the beam of light!

Mercury has no atmosphere, so this scene is completely different from the sunrise on Earth.

No matter which direction you look at, there is a clear wall of light, as if the whole land is surrounded by ten thousand zhang radiance.

"call……"

"Captain...I...I'm dizzy...I can't breathe..." a crew member breathed quickly.

Liu Tengkong said warmly: "Close your eyes, don't look, don't think too much, take a deep breath, just as this is the training ground, find a suitable collection site as soon as possible."

Everyone is in good health, and everyone who can be selected to participate in this mission has actually been genetically optimized to reach S2!

However, even so, the mental pressure brought about by the task and the environment made them almost mad, unable to calm their hearts for a long time, and couldn't help thinking wildly.

Panic and nervousness made them stretch their heartstrings to the extreme, which almost overwhelmed them and even triggered a physiological reaction.

This is a defect in human genes. They cannot adapt to space, even with the protection of a spacesuit.

Genes have been uploaded on the earth for countless generations. When they suddenly came to Mercury, it felt like a thought in the environment.

It constantly promotes the brain to secrete hormones, tunes and stimulates the human mind, hoping that they will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

However, the human mind ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is shaped by culture and thought. How can we succumb to instinct at this moment? In any case, we must complete the task.

"Here! A rock and soil layer rich in helium-3 was detected with an abundance of 57%."

"Enough! Collect now!"

Although everyone panicked, they collected nearly two tons of helium-3 minerals in an orderly manner and returned with a full load.

When returning to the Nuwa, Lao Zhang had already contacted the earth for three rounds.

Microwave communication travels at the speed of light, and it takes fifteen minutes to reach the earth and return.

Therefore, the exchanges between the two sides are concise and concise. Here we will explain the situation, and the other side will give proposals. Here we will express the difficulties based on the suggestions, and the other side will give better suggestions.

After full communication between the two parties, a new plan was quickly finalized.

"The gravity generator was dismantled and transformed into an energy shield module to enhance our resistance to the impact of high-energy particles from the sun."

"Excavate as much helium-3 as possible on Mercury, and finally abandon the mining vehicle and free up the warehouse for fuel storage."

"The solar activity is much stronger than what is estimated on the earth, and it is still getting stronger and stronger. According to the latest data, we estimate that we will open the energy shield by then and hold on for at most 30 minutes."

"We must put all the colorful stones into the designated position within 30 minutes."

Liu Tengkong described the plan seriously, and everyone felt the task was difficult.

The original plan was one hour, but now it has been drastically reduced by half.

The sun is fickle, and everything was considered fine, but when I visited it on the spot, everything was wrong, and I didn't make sense at all.

Thirty minutes, it’s choking to find the X coordinate...

And once the time is not completed, humans do not know how many people will die.

The pressure was unprecedented, making them unable to breathe.
