Lugaret's illness crucified Mr. Hawking to death forever in a wheelchair that was only inches away, but his brain never stopped wandering in the universe, tapping the keyboard his wrist, admonishing mankind: If there is really extraterrestrial life transmitting a message to the earth, then don't answer!
His starting point is simple, but based on the laws of the dark forest, human beings have mastered the technology of information transmission, but in just one century, if extraterrestrial beings really have the ability to cross hundreds of millions of light-years to deliver news to us, then it can only prove that their technology and civilization are far superior to us. Although the universe is infinite, but the living resources are limited, any higher intelligent life has a tendency to expand outward, so once restored, human beings will be destroyed.
Based on this consideration, Mr. Liu Cixin wrote "The Three-Body Problem", expressing the concern that extraterrestrial life will eventually erode human living resources after countless years. Perhaps our best way out is to stick to the position of the earth and not answer any information about extraterrestrial life.
However, Shenzhou 13 was successfully launched on October 16, 2021, with an arrow flying into the sky and taking off with the moon. The manned spacecraft will send Three astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, to the space station, who will also live in space for six months and complete many experimental tasks.
The process of human exploration of the universe is accelerating, there are about 250 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy alone, the unknown represents danger, why is it that in the universe full of so much fear and danger, human beings are still putting their hands deeper and longer?
Perhaps Liu Yaping, an astronaut who rushed into the sky this time, can answer the answer to this question.
First, only love can make people more frustrated and courageous
Let's first understand Wang Yaping, there are many names hanging on her, China's first-class astronaut, vice chairman of the All-China Youth Federation, the most beautiful astronaut, China's first female astronaut out of the cabin, and she is also a mother. These can indeed be used to define her, but retrospectively, she is just a little girl born in Yantai City, Shandong Province.
Wang Yaping's parents were farmers who raised Him by planting cherry trees. When Wang Yaping was a child, she ran among the cherry trees full of mountains, and what came into her sight through the leafy branches was like a wash of blue sky. At that time, she never imagined that her parents would face the land all their lives, and she was destined to spend her life flying in the blue sky.
She has been strong since she was a child, and she wants to do her best at everything, especially in sports, and she has shown super talent. Long-distance running is her favorite sport, which exercises her body and exercises her endurance. At that time, her dream was to enter sports school and become an athlete.
But even though she was outstanding in all her athletics, the sports school did not want her, on the grounds that she was too young and not tall enough. Originally, she wanted to dedicate herself to the sports world, but the door of the sports school was closed to her. But if you really want to repay the country, you will have no way. So she turned around and participated in the physical examination of the female pilot, and with her super high physical fitness, she passed the pass and received an admission letter from Changchun Flight Academy. It has achieved a good story that there is no grandfather here, and there is a grandfather.
1998 was the first time she flew an airplane into the sky, she watched the house on the ground getting smaller and smaller, like a building block, and watched the building blocks become bigger and bigger when she swooped down, and her heart was inexplicably moved for the first time, and many years later she understood that it was a sense of responsibility for the small family and the big country. Those were not just building blocks, but her lighthouse, her watchful place.
For the next dozen years, she continued to travel the sky, flying safely for up to 1567 hours. Moreover, the greater the ability and the greater the responsibility, she joined the Air Force Transport Aviation Unit, and she can be seen in the major tasks of Wenchuan earthquake relief, the Beijing Olympic Games, and even combat readiness exercises.
After the successful launch of the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft in 2003, she saw this scene on TV, and a big dream took root in her heart. More than 500 astronauts in the world have entered outer space, but astronauts have extremely high physical requirements, so there are very few female astronauts on the space station, except for the 46 female astronauts in the United States, the proportion of female astronauts in other countries is very low.
But Wang Yaping dared to make this big dream, but also to make this dream bigger and stronger, her parents are very opposed to her applying for the astronaut examination, the earth is already so dangerous, but the daughter still has to go to space, how can this work. But when they saw the longing in Wang Yaping's eyes, they could only reluctantly agree.
Farmers have such qualities, they have all seen how strong the survival instinct of the ants is, and this desire for life often makes them desperate. The love in Wang Yaping's eyes seems to tell her parents that flying into space is her innate mission.
Second, after personal love, it is a great love for human beings
Wang Yaping suffered a lot in order to become a qualified astronaut. The effort required to withstand this high-threshold profession is far greater than anyone can imagine.
Every training that humans want to go to the space station is beyond human physical fitness, among which it has to be mentioned that it is simulated weightless tank training, Wang Yaping needs to train underwater for 4 to 6 hours each time, this underwater training for human energy consumption, equivalent to running a 42 km full horse. When I came out of the water, I couldn't even hold the chopsticks steadily.
Every time she trained underwater, Wang Yaping would think of the time when she was a child running long-distance runner, when she always told herself to practice again and hold on for a while. The dream is to soar to the blue sky, not to ascend to the sky in one step, anxious, anxious, anxious! It was this tenacity that allowed her to survive underwater training again and again.
In addition, there is a centrifuge project that makes all astronauts feel afraid, the tolerance of the human body is only 2 G, but the centrifuge training negative pressure on the astronaut's weight, up to 8 G. Chest compression will make Wang Yaping difficult to even breathe, tears and snot can not help but flow out, and when the body is intolerant, it will even cause vomiting.
In order to protect the astronaut's body, the centrifuge training set up a pause button, once the astronaut feels that he has reached the limit of the body, he can pause at any time. But more than two decades later, not a single astronaut has pressed that button. Wang Yaping is no exception, in the future on the outer space, there are many unknowable dangers, if today even the human limit can not be surpassed, how to face the vast space crisis in the future.
From the launch of Shenzhou 5 in 2003 to Wang Yaping's shenzhou 10 into space in 2013, Wang Yaping's dream journey has been a full decade. On the occasion of her voyage into space, Barbara Morgan, the first astronaut of NASA's "Space Teaching Program" to successfully enter space, sent a special letter reminding her: Remember to look at the earth.
Human beings living on the earth have devoted all their limited resources to the construction of space stations in the universe in order to find a better perspective on the earth and seek the meaning of human beings' own existence. And when Wang Yaping looked at the earth for the first time in space, the original suspension and ethereal meanings all became concrete.
The small earth is unique, infinitely transformative, and mysterious in the large universe. The distance between the blue planet and the space station is as high as 400 kilometers, and this distance directly produces a great love that lies between Wang Yaping's heart. The temptations that human nature could not resist became small in an instant, and the great love for family, for the motherland, and for mankind continued to grow larger and larger, full of Wang Yaping's small heart.
Shenzhou 10 has a new mission, that is, to teach primary and secondary school students on the ground in space, and this teacher is Wang Yaping. For 60 million students, she teaches some simple space knowledge and deepens students' understanding of Newton's laws, which is of great significance to Wang Yaping.
She is the second batch of astronauts in the country, and she has been able to get to this point today, and she has also received the guidance of many predecessors. Today, the second group of astronauts has taken over the baton from the hands of the first astronauts and is active in the space station. It is a good confirmation of the truth that the veteran will not die, and will pass on the torch.
Astronauts are more of an explorer, and exploration of space may take hundreds or even thousands of years, and this group of primary and secondary school students is the next generation of explorers. Only if they love space, the future of mankind, will there be hope.
Third, look up at the stars and be down-to-earth
Rushing into the universe is addictive, and with the first time, you will think about the second time. When Shenzhou XII went to heaven, Wang Yaping was a backup astronaut, and when it came to Shenzhou XIII, Wang Yaping once again entered the starting echelon, and this time, she will become the first female astronaut in the history of Chinese aviation to go out of the cabin.
Katie Coleman, a long-retired NASA astronaut, sent a special blessing and reminded Wang yaping that billions of women were looking out the window through Wang Yaping's eyes. Not everyone can succeed in their dreams like Wang Yaping, which is also the mission that Wang Yaping has to undertake as a space hero.
It is worth mentioning that the last time Wang Yaping went to space, she was still alone, but this time the situation was a little different, she had a five-year-old daughter. The little girl has a wish, hoping that her mother can pick a star for her to come back, and Wang Yaping also has a wish, she hopes to pick a star for her daughter to come back. This is the responsibility that Wang Yaping has to bear as a mother.
Whether small human beings can grasp the big stars, we see the answer from Wang Yaping. If you have a dream, chase it. Down-to-earth, step by step, in the end, fate returned to her, is the brilliant starry sky.
And the eternal proposition of the universe and mankind cannot be clarified in three or two sentences. But what is currently very certain is that human beings face the unknown universe, the hand is stretched out longer and longer, not afraid of wasting resources, not afraid of any risk, the essence of which is because of love.
We are afraid that the next generation will be harmed, that humanity may not have a future, and we want to protect this blue planet. And science can determine what we don't know, and only when the unknown becomes known will humanity feel safe, and when we are ancient as cosmic dust, we will be assured to hand over the next generation we love to Mother Earth.
Love is an innate force, it is not science, nor is it something that has been invented. We rely on love to go to this day, and we will also rely on love to move towards the faint future and the unknown universe. And for those of us who are ordinary people like ants, we can't pick up the stars, and the only thing we can do is to be down-to-earth and look up at the stars.
But fortunately, we have heroes who pick stars for us.
