Chapter 373: Heavenly Palace Upgrade Plan

"The gravity chamber is so beautiful to spin, it's the most sci-fi scene I've seen this year."

"Hey, I remember your ID, didn't you say the other day that the moon base is the most sci-fi scene you've ever seen this year? How has it changed? ”

"Mom, there are acquaintances, so I'll change it to the scene of simulating the rotation of the gravity cabin is the most sci-fi scene I've seen this month."

"It's so important to have a little gravity, and I've noticed that the astronauts have more smiles on their faces, and they think they don't have to float anymore."

"The gap in the control test is really big, it is not safe to eat in a weightless state, floating back and forth, and it is much better in the simulated gravity cabin, not only can you sit and eat safely, but you can also drink soup with a bowl."

"Yes, it feels so sad to watch the astronauts in the simulated gravity cabin sleeping comfortably on the bed covered with quilts, and then watching the astronauts of the weightless space station get into their sleeping bags and tie themselves up, and sleep in a posture that I don't know whether to lie down, stand, or stand upside down."

"Actually, I'm thinking about another thing, now that the Star Inn and the Tiangong Space Station have merged, can those space tourists still go to the Star Inn to play?"

"It should be possible, after all, the Navigator Space Company's Star Inn tickets have been sold a lot, and there is no news that the tickets will be refunded, if they can't go to the Star Inn again, then they should refund the tickets."

"What's more, the Navigator Space Company is still selling tickets today, the tickets for the space tour will not be affected, and the tickets for the Star Inn have not been suspended, so you should still be able to go up."

"Your news is behind, hurry up and refresh the official website of Navigator Space, they have started selling tickets for the simulated gravity module."

"Really? Let me see...... Good guys, it's really on sale, 700, I'm going to buy one later! ”

Unlike netizens who were shocked, excited, and watched the excitement, some people really started to do just lemon.

It's still Merrican's side.

Since the last time Tianxia and Navigator jointly rescued the astronauts who failed to land on the moon, the relationship between the two countries' space agencies has indeed improved a lot.

Even when the three astronauts returned to Earth, they specially contacted the Tianxia Space Agency, and then used the rescue incident as an introduction, and Merriken sent a visiting group to take the two rescued astronauts on a visit to the aerospace field.

After the two came over, they expressed their gratitude, and contacted the astronauts of the Tianxia Moon Base in a conference room, and the two sides chatted happily.

Tianxia's astronauts also showed a photograph of a large moon rock, near the lunar base, on which they carved the words "Joseph and Emily visited here" in Chinese characters.

Lettering in the scenic spot is definitely not possible, that belongs to scribble, but the moon is not the same now, and the impact of the rescue event on future generations will definitely be a lot, now the relevant words are engraved on the stone, and it will become a scenic spot in the future.

One is to destroy the scenic area, and the other is to turn it into a scenic area, can this be the same?

Anyway, both sides of the exchange visit felt very good, and it is said that there is still contact between the high-level officials of the two space agencies in the back, but that is not something that the astronauts can know.

Now watching the docking of the Tiangong space station and the Star Inn, with a simulated gravity cabin, it is false to say that they are not envious.

On the International Space Station, after eating, several astronauts floated together on their laptops to watch the video released by the Navigator.

As astronauts, they know and think more than the average person.

"A little gravity would be much better, if the ISS had gravity, we wouldn't have to float around looking at the computer like this, it's so inconvenient, it's you, Bob, don't always be behind me."

"I don't want to, Dave, but I'm not very steady, I'm going to have to move down and up again, which wouldn't have happened if we had simulated gravity."

"In fact, have you found it, this simulated gravity cabin is still small, with a radius of only 15 meters, and a person's height can occupy about one-ninth of the radius length, which leads to the inconsistency of the gravity felt by the feet and the head, which will cause discomfort for a long time."

"In fact, not only that, but also the problem of the speed of the simulation cabin, the radius of the simulated gravity cabin is small, and if you want to get a relatively large simulation gravity, you have to turn faster, but the speed is fast, it will also cause discomfort, and humans are very sensitive to the speed."

Although there are shortcomings of one kind or another, it must not be admitted, and it is better than nothing.

In the early days of manned spaceflight, astronauts could only move in a small manned capsule, and they could not even be called active, and at that time, their bodies were firmly tied to their seats, and they only moved their fingers and squeezed toothpaste-like food into their mouths.

Later, the manned module was larger and could move a little, and then there was a single-cabin space station, and the space for activity was even greater.

After that, it was added and combined little by little, and there was a multi-cabin structure.

Although the space facilities at that time were not as fully functional as the current ISS, and there were various designs that seem to be full of dangers and hidden dangers now, it is precisely because of generations of research, those technical verifications, and those defects, that the International Space Station in which they are located was created.

In terms of advancement and comfort, the International Space Station is no longer comparable to the Tiangong Space Station, the Star Inn and the inflatable space station, after all, these space stations were launched decades later than the International Space Station, and a few decades are enough for some more advanced technological development.

And all these things are starting from scratch, from the very beginning, "something is better than nothing".

The same is true for the current simulated gravity cabin, a "small module" with a diameter of 30 meters, which must also verify the function more than the use function, verify the rotation, sealing, balance and other technologies, and prove that it can indeed produce "gravity-like".

They believe that in the next step, the Navigator will definitely develop a larger and more complete simulated gravity capsule, and there will also be a larger space equipment with it.

Besides, the current simulated gravity capsule is not bad, and the like can be adapted by exercise and dizziness, and human beings did not adapt to the space environment at first, but after continuous exercise, they have the current impact.

Humans can adapt to even a weightless environment, so is it difficult to adapt to the gravity to which they are already adapted?

Although this gravity is a little strange.

Several astronauts are carefully analyzing the video footage, after all, now that the space relations between the two countries are improving, maybe they will have a chance to go around, and they don't know what is happening on the ground.

Tianxia, more and more netizens want to know more relevant news, so Tianxia Space Agency and Navigator Space Company held a joint press conference.

Tang Chao personally participated in this press conference, at the meeting, he first talked about the Star Inn and the small simulated gravity cabin, someone has discovered the little secret on the official ticket website, Tang Chao said it in more detail here.

Originally, the price of a 24-hour trip to the Star Inn was $5 million, but now there is another ticket, which is $7 million, and the price increase is not much.

The $7 million is a 24-hour ticket to the Star Inn and a small gravity simulator, and you can go wherever you want, and the $5 million ticket can still only be walked around in the Star Inn.

And the flight of the space station is still every other day, in addition to tidying up and cleaning the previous free day, it is for the astronauts of the navigator to do practice, and now that it is docked with the Tiangong space station, there are naturally three more astronauts in the free day.

During the day, the three astronauts of Tiangong can rest and exercise in a small simulated gravity capsule.

Then there is the question of why the Tiangong space station and the Star Inn should dock.

That's a good question, of course, for Tianxia's new space program.

"In order to better study the space environment, in order to expand and improve the working and living environment of astronauts, we have decided to upgrade the Tiangong space station, and docking with the Star Inn of Navigator Space Company is only the first step, and then we will carry out a larger-scale space facility construction project."

"The name of the upgraded new facility in the Heavenly Palace also comes from an allusion to the ancient mythology of Tianxia, that is-Heavenly Court!"
