The Starship spacecraft is mainly divided into four parts, the top is the working module, and then connected one by one is the living module, the power module and the detachable nuclear power propulsion system.

After Yuan and Durunik left the work module, they drifted all the way to the living module in microgravity.

Along the way, the other astronauts also gathered in twos and threes to talk about something.

Yuan found that most of the members from different teams had gathered together with colleagues he was familiar with, just like himself and Trunik.

Sal, Lothar, Khadgar, Aldrich, and Bruno, who were also members of the operation team, always maintained a unified operation, while Summit and Chen Xi of the Indian Ocean base followed Commander Roland all the way.

Of course, there are also guys in the crowd who like to be alone, such as Huo Tianyu from the Academy of Space Science and Nikolaev from the Nuclear Power Research Institute.

Maybe it will take some time for the whole team to get along.

The starship spaceship wasn't that big, and even with a terrible level of space drifting like Trunick, it didn't take much time to reach the living module.

The connection between the living module and the other cabins is very ingenious, which not only ensures good air tightness, but also does not hinder the rotation of the entire artificial gravity generation device.

Entering the living module, there is a buffer area, because it is in the center of the entire annular space, and there is no centrifugal force in the absence of synchronous rotation with the artificial gravity generation device.

It is only when you go to the edge of the ring through a dedicated slide that the centrifugal force gradually increases as the radius of rotation increases, and finally reaches about 80% of the Earth's gravity level.

The reason why the gravity of the living area is not forced to reach the same level as that of the Earth is that this level of gravity will no longer have a significant impact on the astronauts' bodies, and on the other hand, it is considered that too fast rotation will increase the difficulty of the actual use of the living module, and it can also reduce the energy consumption required to maintain the operation of the system.

"God, how do you get into this slide?" Trunik tried to reach the ring edge of the living quarters for the first time, and he was very uncomfortable.

"The rotation radius of the artificial gravity generation device is quite large, this speed is not too fast, Durunik, are you afraid of heights, how did you kid pass the core personnel physical fitness assessment?" Yuan Haochen said sarcastically on the side.

The entrance to the slide is indeed very wide, and only when you reach the edge of the slope will it slowly become narrower.

"I'll demonstrate it." As he spoke, Yuan Haochen kicked his feet towards the bulkhead, and quickly floated towards the entrance of the wide upper and narrow funnel-shaped slide with the help of the reaction force.

With a "poof~" sound, Yuan Haochen's body gently hit the slideway, and then because of the friction, it began to rotate with the slideway, and the resulting centrifugal force quickly threw him to the edge of the track.

With another "poof~", Yuan Haochen slid down on the air cushion at a speed that was not too fast.

"Hey, Yankee, it's your turn!" Hara shouted on the edge of the ring in the living quarters.

However, at this time, Durunik, who was in the center of the circle, looked at Yuan Chen, who was like a satellite that had been revolving around him.

"Do you need me to crawl back and kick you over?" Yuan Haochen shouted while holding on to the ladder.

That's right, if you want to get from the edge of the living area to the center, you have to climb all the way to the center of the circle through the escalator, and when you get back to the center of the circle, the centrifugal force disappears and the astronaut returns to microgravity.

"SHI~T, no matter what. Don't lose face. Durunik finally made up his mind to kick the bump slide.

"Ah~Ah~Ah~"

With a "poof~", Durunik finally smashed on the air cushion on the ring edge of the living quarters!

“OH，MY，GOD！” Durunik raised his decibels and shouted, "The equipment of this playground is really good! ”

Yuan Haochen looked at Durunik and smiled silently.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Durunik, you are here too." A deep voice rang out behind him.

Hara Haochen followed the prestige, it was the Japanese scientist Suzuki, and Dr. Mingqi was standing by Suzuki's side.

"Suzuki-kun, hello Dr. Minki." Hara responded politely and nodded to Dr. Mingqi.

"Hello." Trunik also saw Dr. Minchi and Suzuki, who were more familiar with each other because they had worked together on the project of ancient extraterrestrial life in the Somson meteorite.

Dr. Minchi's eyes were still so sharp, even a little weird, and that gaze swept towards Hara and Durunik, which was as powerful as cosmic gamma rays.

Sure enough, Durunik was immediately uncomfortable, he must have remembered the corpse in Dr. Minchi's laboratory, high-voltage electric shocks, and other terrifying things.

"You're on a spaceship for the first time, right?" Suzuki, who was on the side, continued to ask.

"Indeed, Suzuki-kun, this is the first time I've left Earth."

"Sure enough, it was the first time that Mr. Mingqi and I had left Earth. So I was very curious to look around. ”

"Each other, each other." Yuan Haochen nodded.

"Then let's go to the living area for a visit first, and Hao Chenjun please take care of yourself." After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Suzuki and Dr. Minki took their leave.

"As long as you're not staring at space all the time, there's nothing special about it." Durunik finally got used to the swirling surroundings and looked around before continuing, "Let's go see the living quarters too." ”

"Let's go!"

The instruments and equipment in the entire living area, including the astronauts' rest compartment, are very delicately fixed to the bulkhead, and the circular space with a diameter of 30 meters is used to provide the daily living and exercise needs of the 17 astronauts, and the space conditions are still unsatisfactory.

"Come and see what's in our coolers." Trunik seems to have discovered a new continent.

"It's unfortunate that it's these special space dog food again." Durunik opened the refrigerator and looked disappointed

"Pay attention to the words, we're not dogs!" Yuan Haochen gave him a blank look.

"That's all you can eat for these two months, and you should be able to eat better on Mars. Haha~" Durunik couldn't help but laugh as he thought about it.

Yuan Haochen shook his head, thinking that it was indeed a lot more fun to have Durunik by his side.
