THE ERA OF CATACALYSM

The great human civilization has been passed down and developed a splendid culture since the start. However, this universe was not created for humans, and human civilization is doomed to face one challenge after another, as well as crisis after crisis. Asteroid impacts, gamma-ray bursts, encounters with malicious alien civilizations, and changes in Earth's orbit caused by other stars' gravitational disturbances... There are numerous challenges that may be encountered, and... as long as humans exist, these things will undoubtedly be encountered. On an ordinary day, without any warning, people noticed that the sun had dimmed... Human civilization is about to face its first major challenge since the dawn of civilization.

CHAPTER-54

During each rocket launch, only a portion of the spacecraft is launched into orbit. Many launches are required to complete the assembly of the entire spacecraft. The Crimson Heart spacecraft successfully completed more than 100 rocket launches in a row before being assembled in space. The launch, return, life safety assurance, material assurance, coordination and command of all aspects of the astronauts responsible for assembling the spacecraft are all major undertakings in this process, which is a massive undertaking.

​​

There were three failures in the more than 100 rocket launch missions that were carried out. Four outstanding astronauts died as a result of these three failures, and three batches of highly valuable precision instruments were damaged as a result of these three failures.

​​

A total of more than one million outstanding scientists, engineers, workers, managers, logistics personnel, and other professionals took part in this massive undertaking. Human civilization toiled for five years, sweating and spitting its own blood, before finally releasing this massive spaceship. However, at the last minute, the mission's target was changed from Mars to the sun, which has to be considered a little dramatic.

​​

"The later retrofit missions necessitated the launch of thirty-seven rockets. Using the Crimson Heart spacecraft as a solar probe saves a significant amount of time and resources compared to building a new spacecraft from the ground up. Everything is important right now. All preparations have been completed, and the Crimson Heart is now free to travel to the sun in order to conduct field observations on the sun...." Hao Fei expressed himself as follows: We must first send these five outstanding astronauts to the spacecraft, of course, before we can do anything else. "

​​

Alex came to a complete stop and raised his eyes to the horizon, standing upright like a massive rocket pointing into the sky.

​​

The Hercules heavy launch vehicle can be seen here. It has a height of 70 meters and a total weight of up to 3,500 tons, depending on the configuration. It has the capability of launching 130 tons of payload into space on each launch. There has never been a better time in the history of human engineering than right now, and this is the largest rocket ever built by mankind.

​​

Alex is more than two thousand meters away from the Hercules rocket, which is launched by NASA. Despite the fact that we are traveling a long distance, the Hercules rocket's magnificence is still breathtaking. Those who have witnessed this rocket have been awestruck by its sheer size and power.

​​

Alex looked at it with awe and curiosity, not knowing what he was thinking at the moment.

​​

"Alex," Hao Fei said in hushed tones as she walked behind him "In addition to three men, two women, and five astronauts, the 130 tons of payloads launched this time include a material storage warehouse, which is housed in a separate building from the main building. The raw materials for production. When the Hercules rocket lifts them into space, the astronauts will operate a material storage warehouse that will dock with the Crimson Heart spacecraft and become a permanent part of the spacecraft. The astronauts will then make their way into the spacecraft. Navigate to the control cabin and direct the Crimson Heart spacecraft to break free from Earth's orbit and toward the sun."

​​

"After all, robots are incomparably inferior to humans, and there are many operations that can only be performed by humans. As a result, scientists decided that this exploration mission should be carried out by humans in space. Scientists hope to learn more about what is going on in the "reverse fusion layer" by using the instruments that have been loaded onto the Crimson Heart spacecraft as well as the Five astronauts who are currently on the mission."

​​

As Alex entered the operating room, he nodded, turned away from the Hercules heavy launch vehicle, and followed Hao Fei into the room.

​​

A total of more than 100 people are working in the operation room, which is constantly monitoring all aspects of the Hercules launch vehicle and the material storage warehouse at any given time.

​​

"I am the mission commander in charge of the Crimson Heart spacecraft's launch mission," says the narrator. Alex heard Hao Fei say something like this: "The final stage of preparation has begun. The astronauts have completed their final medical examination and are on their way to this location by car. The launch of the project Between the hours of two and four in the afternoon, the Hercules rocket will be launched at the appropriate time based on current weather conditions, according to NASA."

​​

Alex nodded, then sat down with Sophia and Virat in front of the audience to begin the presentation.

​​

Perhaps Sophia was infected by the solemn atmosphere that pervaded the operation hall. After taking a seat, Sophia took Alex's hand in hers and whispered, "Alex, I'm a little nervous." Alex smiled and nodded.

​​

"Don't be nervous," Alex said, squeezing Sophia's hand and speaking in hushed tones, "the Hercules launch vehicle is renowned for its high level of safety, and this launch will be fine."

​​

After arranging Alex and a number of other people, Hao Fei returned to the grueling work environment. There is a large amount of data that Hao Fei must analyze, as well as a large number of decisions that Hao Fei must make, so Hao Fei cannot put Alex off for an extended period of time.

​​

After about an hour of waiting in the operation hall, the door to the operation hall opened again, and five astronauts in sky blue spacesuits filed through the door and into the room.

​​

When the three men, two women, and five astronauts entered the operation hall, all of the staff members put down their work and rose to their feet, and there was a standing ovation in the room.

​​

Hao Fei took a step forward and hugged each of the five astronauts one by one before stepping back and scanning the entire operation hall with a serious expression on her face.

​​

"These are the five astronauts who will be participating in our solar exploration mission," Hao Fei explained.
