537 stationed
There are many people with great strength, and more than a dozen people have been busy for a short time, and the preparations for dismantling the functional cabin have been completed, and the functional cabin can be released only when the equipment is in place. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ye Han stood on the top of the spaceship, standing high and seeing far away, and after a while, he found two strange-looking lunar rovers appeared in the distance - all vehicles driving on the surface of the moon can be called lunar rovers, no matter what they look like.
When I got closer, I realized that they were two vehicles equipped with stout robotic arms, which had no outer shell, and the driver sat on the chassis to control the vehicles.
The technology for making the enclosure is not complicated, but the enclosure is produced on Earth, and the enclosure adds a lot of weight to the spacecraft, which is unnecessary for the program's space engineering.
Ye Han and the others found the top of the spacecraft, and the astronauts in the car stretched out their arms and waved vigorously when they were far away.
Ye Han also waved his hand, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Hello, I'm Gao Kai." A voice rang out over the radio.
"I'm Hu Liang." Another voice said.
"I'm No. 1 Duan Zhiyang, representing everyone for the time being...... Let's introduce it when we meet again, let's dismantle the functional cabin first. Duan Zhiyang said.
The true faces of everyone are covered under the mask of the spacesuit, and there is no difference between introducing and not introducing.
Gao Hu and the others agreed very much, and immediately drove the two cars near the spaceship, and inserted the end of the robotic arm into the locking structure outside the functional cabin.
In order to maintain the balance of the spacecraft, the two vehicles are located on both sides of the spacecraft, and the two symmetrical functional compartments are fixed respectively.
"Demolition!" Duan Zhiyang roared, Ye Han and the others on the spacecraft unlocked the locking structure together, the two functional cabins separated from the main body of the spacecraft at the same time, and the mechanical arm steadily lifted the functional cabins.
Several people jumped on the rover and followed the rover holding the functional module into the distance, and after a while, the lunar rover drove into a flat small plain and set the functional module in a predetermined position.
Several people in the car immediately jumped down, followed the procedures they had been exposed to during ground training, found the electrical equipment placed nearby, and used cables to introduce electricity into the functional cabin.
The temperature difference between day and night on the surface of the moon is very large, in order to avoid damage to the cable due to the violent temperature difference, the cable must be buried in the ground, so the progress of the project is not very fast, the first functional module has just been connected to the power, and the last two functional modules have been sent to the designated location.
However, not all the astronauts followed, four people, including Ye Han, remained on the spacecraft, and the astronauts were divided into two places to perform their respective tasks.
Ye Han and the others did not want to live in the spaceship, but to dismantle the ship's retro and gather the remaining fuel together.
The dismantled retro cannot be wasted, and after the fuel tank is emptied, the valve that has been prepared long ago is installed, which is a good gas cylinder, which can store oxygen or any gas.
This thing is of little use on Earth, but on the Moon, where there is no atmosphere, gas cylinders are an indispensable storage device.
At the beginning of the design, the principle of multi-purpose was adopted, and designs such as fuel tanks abound, even the Kong-Tian-1 itself cannot be an exception.
In addition to the retroceleration rocket, there are also four small rockets for lift-off, which can leave the moon on the Space-1 when necessary -- starting today, the Space-1 will be the last guarantee for the safety of the astronauts stationed on the moon, and the spacecraft must be frequently overhauled, kept in a launchable state at all times, and must be stocked with enough food and water at all times.
The project in the resettlement area is also continuing, after the first functional cabin is connected to the power supply, Duan Zhiyang personally opened the cassette placed outside the cabin and pressed the button to start the functional cabin.
The two sides of the functional cabin were immediately opened, and the inflatable structure inside slowly expanded, and soon became a hemispherical oversized tent, and the two hemispherical tents were connected to the functional cabin, like an oversized dumbbell half-buried in the earth.
The material used to make the tents is memory metal, and when fully expanded, the space inside each tent is hundreds of square meters, and it is divided into two layers.
The unfolding of the tent is also just the beginning, and the unmanned construction machinery that has long been sent to the lunar surface immediately began to work according to the procedure, piling up a thick layer of lunar soil on the outer layer of the tent, and burying the hemispherical tent under the lunar soil.
The thick lunar soil can effectively block radiation, resist temperature changes from the outside world, and maintain the existing indoor environment – a technology from the European Space Agency that is also the result of intensive cooperation.
China's cooperation with Europe is not so pleasant on the surface, and many technologies are exchanged, but the EU is a multinational alliance, and even if some member states are hostile to China, at least some member states are willing to cooperate with China, and the two sides are offset, and it is much easier to deal with Europeans than with Americans.
Due to the thorough preparation, it took only half an hour for the first functional module to be buried in thick lunar soil, and the interior began to be inflated and pressurized, and other functional modules will be deployed one after another.
Fourteen astronauts, including Gao Hu and others, called the six functional modules the first phase of the lunar community project.
According to everyone's understanding, it will not be long before the second phase of the project will start as scheduled.
However, the first step is to expand the functional cabin, and the next step is to place various living facilities or other equipment in the appropriate places.
For example, the seats and beds in the living module are all inflatable beds made of thin and sturdy materials, which look thin, but even in the standard gravity environment of the earth, they can withstand the weight of an adult, not to mention the gravity of the moon, so that everyone has to let out some of the gas in the inflatable furniture to make the pavement soft and comfortable.
Tables, shelves and other similar platforms are made of thin and light alloys, and all of them are designed in a standardized way to reduce weight and volume as much as possible, and these parts can be combined to obtain all the necessary furniture.
In addition, there are sanitary appliances, water supply pipelines, sewage systems, life-sustaining equipment, etc., all of which need to be assembled step by step by astronauts, and it will take at least a few days to complete the whole project.
Fortunately, only the living compartment is so complex, and the other functional compartments have a dedicated purpose, and the internal facilities are much less than the functional compartments.
For example, the only function of the soilless culture cabin here is to use soilless cultivation technology to grow vegetables and study the impact of the lunar environment on plants.
If the earth's plants can grow normally on the moon, then it is very likely that in the future, a special farm for growing food will be opened in the underground base, so that the moon base will no longer rely on the earth for food, and will achieve true self-sufficiency, and even feed the earth back like in the novel.
