8. Space experiments with Japanese characteristics

Fortunately, with the help of the mysterious space ability, Wang Qiu now does not actually need to make any complicated movements, nor does he need to wear a spacesuit, or even leave the ground, he can easily complete the teleportation task of various modules and components.

Specifically, as long as another space ability stationed in the "Guanghan Palace" space station, that is, Political Commissar Sonia or Professor Yang Wenli, uses his ability to "push" the wormhole out of the capsule through the porthole, he can transmit various modules to the lunar orbit on the ground in Xichang.

- The reason why the wormhole is "pushed" out is because if you teleport directly in the habitation module, the space station will be blown up.

In addition, although the wormhole looks like a black plate, it is not actually a tangible substance, but more like a phantom, so it is not a problem to guide it to perform a "wall piercing technique". At the same time, there is no need to worry about the difference in pressure between the two sides (a vacuum in the universe, and an atmosphere on the earth) that will cause gas leakage on the ground - in short, this is a completely different concept from a normal valve channel.

After the module is in place, Commissar Sonia or Professor Yang Wenli will take the wormhole back into the cabin again. The next docking, installation, commissioning and other work are the tasks of Peng Youzhi and Xiao Huaidan, two professional astronauts and the ground command center.

Anyway, according to the design, each module of the space station is a relatively independent system module, as long as it is put together like building blocks, it is basically completed. The internal pipeline equipment has already been set up haode, and the docking device is automatic. Even the posture adjustment rocket, which is used to change the altitude of the orbit, is remotely controlled by the ground command center and does not require the astronauts to operate it themselves......

- Because it is impossible for the country to launch a spacecraft to the moon in three days. The stay of each group of lunar astronauts in the "Guanghan Palace" space station is also set to be very short, so the lunar orbital space station is bound to be unmanned for a long time, and can only be operated mainly by ground remote control.

Therefore, as long as Wang Qiu gets the module next to the main body of the space station, the entire "groundbreaking" is 90% completed, and the remaining steps have already been simulated N times in the computer on the ground, and there will generally be no more mistakes...... In a word. Thanks to the wormhole as a cheat, with the full cooperation of all parties, it only took one day. The volume of the "Guanghan Palace" space station has expanded by a small half, adding two experimental modules weighing eight tons and nine tons respectively, plus a set of thin but large solar panels.

However, Wang Qiu, who is in charge of the transmission work. It seems that I still feel a little unsatisfied.

——————————————————————————

“…… Is there only a biological experiment module and a lunar remote sensing detection module? Weishenme didn't put the remaining two sections on it together. ”

Floating in the node module of the "Guanghan Palace" space station (a spherical chamber with a six-sided interface. The shape is similar to the round ball joint of the plastic combination building block, and the function is similar to the power plug-in board, and the rest of the space station's modules are "plugged in" on the top of the node module), looking at the two circular interfaces that are still idle, Wang Qiu couldn't help but muttered to his mother on the ground, Comrade Wang Meiling, with a headset microphone, "...... I've heard that the lifespan of a wormhole is generally about two months at most. If you can't hurry, you won't have this shop in this village! ”

“…… Everyone understands this. But how can you let me get something that doesn't exist? ”

Comrade Wang Meiling's slightly pitched voice echoed in the headphones with the noise, "...... There are still ready-made goods for the biological experiment module and the lunar remote sensing detection module, but the remaining two modules have not even been finalized in the design drawings, where do you let me go to conjure them? ”

According to his mother's explanation, Wang Qiucai finally realized that although the sudden appearance of the wormhole greatly reduced the cost of launching spacecraft from the ground to the lunar orbit, the China Space Administration did not expect the appearance of this wormhole, and naturally did not prepare the subsequent modules in advance.

Even the various modules that have been installed now have been hastily put together by the Xichang Satellite City.

Among them, the lunar remote sensing detection module has crashed once before - the lunar surface remote sensing detection module scheduled to be sent into orbit has long been burned to ashes at the edge of the atmosphere when the rocket crashed, and now it is a prototype test work used for testing on the ground, as for whether it can work normally, only God knows. The biological experiment module, which is the cargo scheduled for the next launch, is now being transported in advance. The solar panels are already ready for a long time due to their relative lack of jishu content – almost exactly the same as the first pair of sailing boards already installed on the space station.

As for the remaining physical experiment module and astronomical telescope observation module, they simply remain on the design drawings, and there is no prototype at all - according to the space agency's estimates, the construction of the entire "Guanghan Palace" lunar orbit space station, according to the speed of launching one module per year, is expected to last at least five or six years, so there is no need to produce the follow-up module in advance, so as not to wear aging parts or outdated equipment.

Therefore, due to the exhaustion of the "building module", although Wang Qiu, the porter who built the building blocks, still has spare strength, the second phase of the "Guanghan Palace" lunar orbit space station can only go so far, and the remaining part needs to be constructed in the future.

“…… Well, but this is not bad, at least there is an osmanthus tree in this Guanghan Palace...... I just don't know if it will bloom. ”

Looking at the transparent observation box in the biological experiment cabin, the few mini bonsai osmanthus saplings that were only the size of a palm, Wang Qiu couldn't help but think.

Looking back at the two astronauts who had just returned from the airlock cabin, their faces were full of exhaustion, and even some nausea and vomiting, Wang Qiu also felt that it was really impossible for them to continue to work outside the cabin. If they are forced to overwork and get decompression sickness, it will not be fun.

- Completely different from what is depicted in some anime and science fiction works, in today's era of space exploration, astronauts want to get out of the cabin and do spacewalks. It's not about changing into a one-piece sealed spacesuit with a helmet, jets, and radios, walking into a transitional cabin and closing the door inside. Drain the air, open the hatch to the outside, and you're free to roam the universe.

If any fool did do this, he would definitely suffer from severe decompression sickness, and he would be in pain.

- The so-called decompression sickness was originally an occupational disease of divers, commonly known as diver's disease or caisson disease. That is, inner ear injuries and systemic lesions that occur when the pressure changes rapidly in a high-pressure environment during diving.

When humans live on the surface of the earth, the human body is subjected to the pressure of the atmosphere as one atmosphere, and the human body not only lives normally under such pressure. The exchange of gases with the outside world is also normal. But after diving, if you don't ride in a sturdy submarine, but only wear a soft wetsuit, the water pressure increases by the equivalent of one atmosphere for every ten meters of dive. Because the speed of change in air pressure experienced by the body is too drastic. will change the solubility of the liquid. This dissolves nitrogen gas that far exceeds the standard in the tissue fluid, forming a time bomb.

This causes nitrogen dissolved in human tissues to overflow and form bubbles in the body. The nitrogen gas, which is not discharged in time, will be trapped in the body in the form of bubbles, causing severe pain in the diver's body. This disease caused by low pressure from high pressure to low pressure is decompression sickness. Bubbles formed by nitrogen can form in any part of the body, but are most severe on the shoulders, elbows, knees and heels. The basic symptom is severe pain all over the body. Specifically, these include tinnitus, skin rashes, prostration, arthralgia, visual disturbances, balance problems, dyspnea, fatigue, paralysis, paralysis, self-consciousness, and even death. And it is easy to cause irreparable severe trauma to the central nervous system.

Except for divers. Astronauts also face the threat of decompression sickness when they go on spacewalks or extravehicular activities: at present, the air pressure intensity used in the crew modules of most manned spacecraft in human society is one standard atmosphere. Therefore, the air pressure experienced by the astronaut in the capsule is no different from that on the ground. But once he is about to go to the extravehicular activity, the pressure in the spacesuit system he wears is much lower than the pressure in the cabin - at present, the spacesuit used in manned spaceflight is generally a low-pressure spacesuit, and a high-pressure spacesuit that can be poured into a standard atmospheric pressure has not yet been developed (the pressure in the spacesuit is too high, which is not only very difficult in engineering realization, but also makes it difficult for astronauts to move and work).

As a result, if the astronaut walks out of the capsule in a low-pressure spacesuit, the nitrogen in the human tissues will escape due to the low external pressure, causing symptoms such as itchy skin, joint and muscle pain, coughing, and chest tightness. Eventually, it leads to decompression sickness.

Therefore, in order to avoid decompression sickness, astronauts must expel excess nitrogen from their bodies and replace it with oxygen before they leave the cabin in a low-pressure spacesuit, and the method is to inhale pure oxygen. This process, also known as oxygen and nitrogen removal, often takes four to five hours.

Therefore, after deducting four or five hours of preparation time, if an ordinary astronaut can go out of the capsule for six hours in a row, he is already close to reaching the limit of physical strength. Peng Youzhi and Xiao Huaidan were able to complete the assembly of two experimental cabins and a set of solar panels at the same time in one mission, and they were already super model workers comparable to the iron man Wang Jinxi, and they really couldn't be asked to make more dedication and sacrifice.

In the next few days, AV actress Miss Lu Muyan continued to do nothing, while Peng Youzhi and Xiao Huaidan, two astronaut comrades, seized the time to rest, trying to recover the severely overdrawn physical strength and the spirit on the verge of collapse, so as not to be affected by these extra work to the next lunar landing.

The aerospace scientists of the Xichang Ground Command Center have used the newly installed experimental module to carry out a number of incredible space experiments and put forward a series of whimsical space engineering ideas.

For example, in the biological experiment cabin, Wang Qiu was embarrassed to see that a certain group of gelatinous meat balls that looked like alien aliens, like blowing up balloons, overflowed from a metal culture barrel, and constantly emitted a strong rancid smell like fresh garbage, which could almost make people faint.

- The name of this thing is the Artificial Meat Cultivation Bucket, and it is a meat producer invented to meet the food needs of space travel. The principle is that some genetically treated livestock cells are placed in a special growth tank in a bucket and cultivated with a nutrient solution. According to the designer's hope, it was wanted to be like a mushroom. It grows something like lean meat, which can then be harvested regularly and used to make stews and steaks.

However. The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. The final product in this metal barrel is not artificial meat that can be fried in a pan, but a strange gelatinous gelatinous substance that resembles the skin of a rotten jellyfish......

However, compared to another groundbreaking super-universe engineering idea. The "artificial meat cultivation bucket" is not worth mentioning at all - someone from the Chinese Space Agency has proposed to build a simple orbital elevator connecting the lunar surface and the Lagrange point!

Specifically, it is to find a way to fit the wormhole into the lunar spacecraft. The mission to the moon was abandoned, and then the "Wugang 13" spacecraft was moved to the Lagrange point L1 of the Earth-Moon system, which was stationary relative to the Earth and the Moon. Next, it is a teleportation through the wormhole. From the spaceship at point L1 of the Earth-Moon Lagrange. A roll of high-strength nylon rope tens of thousands of kilometers long was released, extending all the way to the surface of the moon.

In this way, the simplest orbital elevator is constituted, the lunar spacecraft is the counterweight, and the rope is the vertical passage of the orbital elevator. Because the moon has a low gravitational pull and no atmosphere, this engineering marvel can be done with carbon fiber or high-strength nylon.

- Earth-Moon Lagrange L1 point where the rope is released. It is exactly at the gravitational equilibrium point between the Earth and the Moon, and the angular velocity of the revolution is the same as that of the Moon. The moon is tidally locked again, always facing the Earth on one side. Even more beautifully, the Moon's autobiography is tidally locked, always with only one side facing the Earth...... In this case, with the help of gravity, you can directly put a rope to the moon, and then put the excavation robot and the cable car down the rope, and the stones dug up on the moon are transported to the spacecraft by an "orbital elevator". Every time a few hundred kilograms are transported, dozens or hundreds of tons can be transported by a long stream of water. And future astronauts who land on the moon can also descend from the orbital elevator, and they don't have to build expensive lunar modules.

Realistically speaking, although this project seems to be over-sci-fi, it is still feasible in practice.

However, this whimsical to appalling "cosmic super project" was ultimately rejected for the following reasons:

First, the preparation time was too hasty, and in just one or two months before the wormhole disappeared, it was impossible to manufacture tens of thousands of kilometers of special high-strength nylon ropes, and it was too late to develop special excavation robots and carrier cable cars, and even basic mathematical calculations were too late.

Second, the "Wu Gang" series of lunar spacecraft are not permanent space buildings, and their durability and service life are very limited, and they cannot perform the functions of a space station.

Third, the "Guanghangong" space station lacks a high-thrust power system and cannot move from the lunar orbit to the Lagrange L1 point of the Earth-Moon system.

Of course, successful experiments are not without success, for example, because of the wormhole across time and space, the freight cost of launching an artificial satellite around the moon has basically been reduced to zero. Therefore, during the next spacewalk after the installation of the experimental module, the two astronauts, Peng Youzhi and Xiao Huaidan, threw several miniature artificial satellites weighing only a few kilograms into the void in one go, like throwing a shot put, all of which Wang Qiu transmitted in plastic baskets.

Although two satellites had problems during the delivery or transmission, the space department still thought the risk was worth the risk - the price of making one satellite is actually very cheap, and the cost of launching a satellite into the sky is enough to build several of the same satellite.

However, in addition to several experimental microsatellites, the man-made objects sent into lunar orbit this time also include the urns of aerospace veterans and astronomy enthusiasts, who believe that it is a romantic thing to sleep in space. In addition, there are some cosmic drifting bottles made by unknown people - in fact, a small note is stuffed in a glass bottle, and in order to prevent the glass bottle from being broken by air pressure, there are many small holes in the cork...... This made Wang Qiu worried, wondering if he would be detained with the ugly title of "space junk maker" in the future.

However, a few days later, when the Japanese representatives, who were trying to get a piece of the pie from the incident, rushed to Xichang Satellite City to propose their research project, Wang Qiucai was stunned to find that China's space industry was really insignificant compared to its Japanese counterparts in terms of undisciplined conduct......

“…… In order to avoid wasting this opportunity, we finally decided to study human reproduction and sexuality in space and explore the feasibility of cosmic migration in the future......"

The zombie shrine maiden Sanae Rika, who served as a messenger to His Excellency Tori Yu Mayaku, explained without shyness with a down-to-earth smile, and at the same time handed a stack of documents to Commander Wang Meiling, "...... This is the first draft of the specific experimental protocol, please take a look at it. ”

And Wang Meiling stepped forward to take the document and flipped through it, and immediately felt that her expression had changed to the word "embarrassment", and her eyebrows began to twitch, "...... This topic...... It is indeed necessary to conduct research. But the question is, according to this proposal, do you really plan to study the reproductive mating skills of astronauts in weightlessness, rather than taking the opportunity to shoot a SOD-style fully nude space girl porn?
