Ma Ma and Jiang Hai were the trainee astronauts of this session, and they monitored the docking of the Star Inn and the gravity simulation module on the spot.

The motor is the policeman at the beginning, who had contact with Tang Chao when he was catching spies at the Coastal Launch Center, and later resigned to participate in the Navigator's commercial astronaut audition, and became a trainee astronaut of the Navigator Space Company after being selected for a period of time, and then came to the Star Inn for field training.

Just in time for this launch mission.

Jiang Hai's situation is similar to his, except that Jiang Hai is a computer engineer, and when the navigator recruited astronauts, he was also very interested, so he came to sign up.

He often participates in physical exercise, and after passing the physical fitness selection and testing his professional knowledge, he was successfully selected.

When the motor and Jiang Hai felt that the Starry Sky Inn flickered slightly, and then the green character of [docking successful] was displayed on the screen of the control computer, they began to report the situation to the ground command center.

The completion of the docking does not mean that their task is completed, in fact, this step is the beginning of the task.

After confirming that the docking was successful, the gravity simulation chamber began to slowly unfold the centrifugal force sensing module, that is, the four non-formal cuboid chambers.

With the support of the channel structure, they slowly unfold and gradually move away from the central rotating module.

When they were stretched to their limits, the same curved fixed brackets extended from the bottom of each curved chamber.

The mounting brackets for each chamber extend to the rear of the other chamber and are automatically locked, and the complete ring is finally formed.

This is not the end, after this step is done, it will be the turn of the astronauts to play.

They donned hard extravehicular spacesuits with space maneuvering devices and left the Star Inn to fly out on a simple fixed mission.

Attach another fixed bracket attached to the rotating shaft to the inner ring corner of the centrifugal force sensing chamber.

When all 16 fixed brackets are connected and a number of triangles are formed between the centrifugal force sensing chamber and the rotating module, the gravity simulation module is deployed.

After they returned to the Star Inn and detected that the gravity simulation module was normal, the ground turned on the rotation mode of the gravity simulation cabin.

The reaction nozzle in the outer ring of the centrifugal force sensing chamber emits a high-velocity gas to help the initial rotation of the simulation chamber, and when it accelerates to a safe speed, the reaction nozzle ends the injection.

The two astronauts checked again, and after confirming that there was no problem, they entered the axis of rotation through the gate, selected Cabin 1, and floated down the ladder with their legs down.

The motor was in front, and the closer they got to the cabin below, the faster they felt the fall, and they hurriedly stepped on the stairs and walked down step by step.

Eventually, they were firmly on the floor!

It didn't bounce off as if it touched the floor before, and this time it fell to the "ground" and it fell to the "ground".

The moment he landed, he rose and fell slightly, and he took two steps forward, feeling a bit like being in a thigh-deep pool, but finally stood firm.

Jiang Hai followed, standing on the floor and looking at the motor with a surprised expression, and the motor looked at him with the same expression.

"Haha, we're standing firmly on the ground in space."

"It's amazing, I actually felt the 'gravity' in space, and I instantly felt like I lost a lot of weight."

Losing weight instantaneously is, of course, psychological, but not just psychological.

In fact, if you look closely, the astronauts in space are all "fat", regardless of whether they are fat or thin when they are on Earth, so what causes this change?

The reason is simple – weightlessness.

When we usually look at someone on the earth, we generally stand or sit in a posture, when the person's head is on it, and under the influence of the earth's gravity, the person's body fluids, blood, etc. are all going down.

When the blood flows out of the heart, it is of course easier to carry blood to the legs than to the king's head, so you look a little thinner when you are standing.

When you lie in bed, your face looks a little fatter.

And when a person enters the weightless conditions of space, the body loses the influence of gravity, the body fluids have to be redistributed, the blood gushes up, and the pressure on the blood supply to the heart is the same everywhere in the body, which of course makes the face look fatter, even fatter than when lying in bed.

Because at this time, there is no gravitational difference between the parts of the human body.

This phenomenon is called "space edema", which is a "normal" phenomenon that a person will appear in space, because when a person is in a state of weightlessness, the first thing that changes is the disappearance of the hydrostatic pressure in the person's blood vessels.

At this time, the person will have facial puffiness accompanied by a feeling of swelling of the head.

This is not the kind of thing that deceives people into buying abduction in the sketch, and then says some nonsense, making people feel that their faces are getting bigger and bigger, this time is really big.

The face is very light, and sometimes there is even frequent urination, because the human body perceives the bodily fluid filling of the chest and head, giving the receptors a false signal of excess bodily fluid.

At that time, the endocrine system automatically regulates the body and excretes some body fluids in the form of urine, so people will have polyuria.

Now that the motor and Jiang Hai feel the "gravity", the body fluids in the body begin to distribute again, and the downward force of gravity makes the facial congestion naturally feel better.

In fact, the gravity of the simulated gravity capsule is not large, only 0.2G, which is about one-fifth of the Earth's gravity, which is larger than the moon's gravity, and is also suitable for the current situation of astronauts.

Astronauts have been in space for a period of time, and there will definitely be some discomfort when they suddenly feel the earth's gravity of about 1G, and now 0.2G is about the same, and astronauts can adapt quickly, but it can produce a certain gravity effect to reduce the adverse effects of weightless environment on the body.

It is now far from reaching the 0.5G simulated gravity in the design, because the combined spacecraft has a mass of about 170 tons, and the 85-ton simulated gravity capsule accounts for half of the mass.

This is still because after the Starry Sky Inn was commercialized, the navigator successively moved something inside, adding 5 tons of mass, so that the two reached a balance in quality, otherwise the mass of the simulated gravity cabin was larger than that of the Starry Sky Inn.

In order to prevent accidents, the speed of the simulated gravity module is relatively slow, and when a larger space station is found to dock, its speed can be slightly increased.

If the rotational speed is slightly increased, its simulated gravity can be increased a little.

There are only four space stations in the earth's orbit, one is the Navigator Star Inn, and then the Tiangong space station, the International Space Station and the inflatable space station.

Why?

Because that's what the previous plan was.

So it soon became clear that Tianxia's Tiangong space station had changed orbit.

The location of the aerospace equipment on the surface is public, as long as you want to check, you can find it at any time, so as soon as the location of the Tiangong space station changes, some people will know.

As soon as these people sent the news out, a large number of people soon knew.

Then they found that the locations of the Heavenly Palace and the Starry Sky Inn were getting closer!

"They're going to dock?!"

"Damn, the Tiangong Space Station and the Starry Sky Inn are definitely going to dock, they are going to merge!"

"Good guy, I love to watch the space combination or something, the bigger the space station, the better!"

Sure enough, under the witness of the audience, the Tiangong space station and the Star Inn completed the docking, and successfully merged into a space station weighing about 280 tons.

In this way, the "counterweight" of the simulated gravity rotating chamber has reached nearly 190 tons, and compared to the previous mass ratio of almost 1:1, it has now reached 2.2:1, which feels okay.

After the docking was completed and the inspection was not a problem, the speed of the simulated gravity rotation capsule increased, and the "gravity" also reached 0.3G, nearly one-third of the Earth's gravity, and the astronauts could move better in it.

The astronauts mentioned here certainly include Tianxia's three astronauts.

"Haha, it's a good feeling to feel the 'ground' again."

The astronauts said happily.

"We humans have finally established ourselves in space."
