Judging by the current situation.

When the starship crossed the Van Allen radiation belt, it must have encountered a stream of high-energy charged particles!

High-energy particle radiation can be said to be the natural enemy of electronic devices!

Especially the communication equipment on the starship.

Under the interference of such high-energy charged particles, it is almost directly paralyzed!

In this case, SPX's live broadcast must not continue!

He immediately stood up and said anxiously to his assistant: "Tell the team in charge of the live broadcast to stop the live broadcast immediately!" ”

"But boss, there are hundreds of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room now! If this is stopped, it is estimated that it will have a very serious impact! The assistant was stunned for a moment.

Mark glanced at his assistant coldly: "If you don't stop at this time, the consequences may be even more serious!" ”

"Tell the live broadcast team and let them tell the audience that now the starship is passing through the high-radiation belt, and when it crosses the radiation belt, it can broadcast normally!"

The assistant nodded and immediately urged the matter to go.

Meanwhile.

The deputy commander's phone rang into Mark's office.

The rapid ringing of the phone, like a spell urging him, made Mark unable to keep his composure anymore and became irritable.

However, the deputy commander's phone call could not be missed.

"The deputy leader leads the ......"

Before Mark could finish answering the phone, he immediately heard the roar of the deputy commander!

"Damn it! Mark! ”

"What the hell is wrong with the starship!! How did the connection with the ground be broken!! ”

"If something happens to those 35 astronauts on the starship, you just wait to go to jail!!"

"And."

"In the live broadcast room, many people are asking if the starship is there!"

"Without a plausible explanation, the saliva of these internet users alone is enough to drown you!!"

The deputy commander grabbed Mark and hung up the phone with a snap.

Only Mark, whose face was gloomy, was left.

Bang——!

Mark slammed the phone in his hand on the table.

"Fack!"

"Fake!!"

"Falk !!"

After Mark's vent, he gradually calmed down.

The problem with the starship is likely to be a communication problem at present.

The only thing that can be done now.

Just wait until you have passed through the high-energy particle belt before trying to contact the starship.

But Mark was already a little hopeless.

The average person may think that as long as they pass through the radiation belt, they should be fine.

But what they don't know is.

The damage to electronic equipment caused by high-energy charged particles is almost irreversible!

In the Van Allen radiation belt, the energetic particles are not uniformly distributed.

If your spacecraft happens to be unlucky and encounters a strong stream of high-energy charged particles.

That would be a disaster!

These particles are so small that they are the size of atomic nuclei and can only be observed under a high-powered electron microscope.

It is mainly derived from galactic cosmic rays, solar cosmic rays, and radiation belts.

When high-energy charged particles interact with material materials, they transfer and deposit their own momentum and energy inside the matter, thus affecting and destroying the structure and properties of the material.

Its harm is mainly manifested in two aspects.

The first is the radiation damage effect.

If the object being radiated is a spacecraft.

Then it can cause the accelerated degradation of various material functions on the spacecraft, and the performance of electronic devices decay!

For example, the output power of solar cells decreases, and the performance indicators of various semiconductor devices decline or even damage!

If the irradiated object is an astronaut.

Then it can cause damage to the structure and function of human organs, tissues, and functions, which will make astronauts feel uncomfortable, lead to various diseases, and even lead to death!

The radiation damage effect is cumulative.

The degree of damage is related to the amount of radiation dose, that is, the intensity of radiation and the accumulation time.

The second is the single-event effect.

This refers to when a single high-energy particle enters a microelectronic device.

An event that causes the logic function of a microelectronic device to be reversed or the device to be damaged, resulting in an abnormality or malfunction of the spacecraft.

If it was a manned spacecraft that received such damage.

Then there is a risk that this spacecraft will become a free-flying body that has lost its control!

You can imagine what will happen to the astronauts in the spaceship!!

That's why Mark reacted so violently.

If the starship is only damaged, it will lose some money at best.

To put it seriously, it may be that Amelica was temporarily surpassed by Daxia in the aerospace field and lost a lot of face.

But if it is the astronauts themselves who are harmed by the production of high-energy particles.

Then it is very likely that he will indeed face various charges and go to jail!

…

In the SPX live broadcast room.

It's a mess at the moment!

The sudden interruption of the live broadcast gave netizens in the live broadcast room a bad premonition!

Although Mark paused the live stream very quickly.

But netizens still knew from the intermittent communication before the live broadcast was interrupted that Starship was probably in big trouble!

The reason given by SPX for this is that the starship is passing through the radiation belt.

So the communication with the ground is not very stable.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on! Why is our starship spaceship running so well, why is it suddenly lost!! ”

"Didn't the SPX official say it? It's the starship that is passing through the radiation belt, so it will cause interference, just wait until it passes through the radiation belt! ”

"Is the starship's radiation protection so bad!? If you want to say that it passed through the radiation belt, Apollo did not pass through the radiation belt in the last century!? Why didn't Apollo have this kind of problem!? ”

"Could it be that the radiation of the radiation belt has increased in recent years?!"

Do you believe that? I don't believe it anyway!! ”

"I think it must be the ghost of Daxia!! They are afraid that our moon landing program will succeed, so they will sabotage it!! ”

"Despicable Great Xia people!"

"Laugh to death! We launched first, you launched later, why did we sabotage!? ”

"There's a Great Xia man here! Let's scold him together!! ”

"Are you all brainless? What has happened to Starship now, I think SPX and NAS know best! But why didn't they publish it and tell everyone!? ”

"Who the hell is brainless!? Didn't the SPX official say it all!? Now the starship is passing through a radiation belt, which is why the communication is unstable! Do you know the black barrier? Don't speak without a little common sense!! ”

"It's also a black barrier! Laughing to death!! Do you know the concept of black barriers, right here, black barriers!! Now the radiation belt that the starship passes through is called the Van Allen radiation belt!! Also called the high-energy particle radiation belt!! ”

"I'm going to give you a science popularization! What is the Van Allen Radiation Belt! The Van Allen Radiation Belt is ...... If it is ...... by a stream of high-energy particles Spacecraft Damage ...... Astronaut ......"

"What!? It's so harmful! Isn't the starship paralyzed in that case!? The astronauts on the starship ......"

Seeing that someone explained what might happen to the starship, the netizens in the live broadcast room were suddenly decided!

Starships carry more than just the hope of SPX and the hope of NAS.

At the same time, it also carries the hopes of hundreds of millions of Amelica netizens.

But now they are all a little desperate.

If something happens to the starship, then Amelica will not only lose the starship itself!

And dozens of astronauts of inestimable value!

When the Amelica space shuttle accident occurred that year, the whole Amelie was immersed in grief.

The number of astronauts on the starship is now several times more than that of the space shuttle back then!

Such a big accident, no matter which country it is, is an incalculable loss!!

…

Outer space.

The starship had now broken out of the Van Allen radiation belt.

However, contact with the ground has not yet been restored.

Inside the spaceship.

The faces of the 35 astronauts all carried a sense of despair.

"Commander, many of the electronic devices inside the starship are now filled with high-energy charged particles!"

"At present, 70% of electronic equipment has been damaged to varying degrees!"

"Judging from the amount of spare parts stored on the starship, about 40% of the electronic equipment can be repaired!"

"About 30% of electronic devices are dysfunctional and cannot be used normally due to limited remedial conditions!"

An engineer in charge of the starship's electronics said in frustration.

An engineer who is mainly responsible for the power system is even more frustrated at this time.

"After passing through the radiation belt, more than half of the Raptor engine has stopped working!"

After he finished speaking.

The astronauts of the entire starship, almost instantly, went from curse to despair.

Now there are more than 300,000 kilometers to go to the moon.

Take the starship in its current condition.

If you want to cross this distance of more than 300,000 kilometers, the difficulty is not ordinary!

"What to do!?"

"Now we can't get in touch with the ground, how can we notify the ground to rescue us!?"

An astronaut said in despair.

After everyone had their opinions, the commander made a decision.

"It is recommended that everyone divide their labor and overhaul the equipment everywhere!"

"If you can replace the spare parts, hurry up and replace them!"

"It's useless to rely on anyone at this time! We can only save ourselves!! ”

"Luckily, we don't have a shortage of fuel, and that's the only good news at the moment!"

After saying that, everyone on the starship began to get busy.

Now the starship has fallen into a half-lying state, and less than half of the Raptor engines are still working.

Although under the control of the core computer, it is still heading towards the moon.

But because of the damage to the equipment, the speed has dropped to a miserable level.

And there is a major hidden danger.

Now there are already more than half of the astronauts on the starship, and they feel that their bodies have been injured to varying degrees!

Some have already had adverse reactions!

The level of medical care on the starship is limited, and only some simple bandaging and some minor surgeries can be performed.

The astronauts suffered varying degrees of impairment in their physical functions.

If you don't get treated, it's likely to cause irreversible damage!

…

On the other side, the live broadcast room of Daxia Aerospace.

The live stream continues.

The moon-to-month launch vehicle was originally launched from space less than 200,000 kilometers from the moon.

Calculated by its speed exceeding the second cosmic speed.

In no more than five hours, the moon-by-month launch vehicle will come to lunar orbit.

On the big screen in the live broadcast room.

Clear and massive images of the moon can already be seen through cameras on moon-to-month launch vehicles.

"Audience friends, what you see now is the picture of the moon captured by our lunar spacecraft!"

"We can clearly see the craters and the moon sea on the moon!"

"I don't know if you have such questions, the moon is barren, what will our space moon eat and drink after coming to the moon?"

"In addition, our astronauts are on the moon, what kind of machinery will be used to mine lunar resources?"

"Now let's ask Academician Yang to solve our doubts......"

After asking Su Che to answer some questions, the host seemed to want Su Che to take a break, and instead began to ask Chief Master Yang.

The questions she is looking for are generally popular and representative on the Internet.

In the past, the concept of the moon landing was still stuck in the clock, and people were not so interested in this topic.

There's nothing to be curious about what you eat and drink.

Isn't it just to carry enough daily necessities, anyway, only two or three astronauts at a time.

They can't consume much of their supplies even if they are full.

But this time the moon landing in Bactria was different.

From the very beginning, Great Xia showed that a solid moon base was established, and there were astronauts for a long-term stay!

The most important thing is that the number of astronauts who landed on the moon this time in Daxia is too much!

There is a limit to what a spacecraft can carry at one time.

And it is difficult to replenish materials on the moon quickly in a short period of time, and for every one consumed, one is less.

The number of people who have stayed on the moon for a long time and consume the amount of materials consumed every day is a terrible number.

So now many netizens are curious about how the astronauts of Daxia live on the moon.

"Do you need to ask about this kind of thing? It must have been all materials brought from the Blue Star! Otherwise, you still expect to be able to grow vegetables on the moon!? ”

"What? Do you look down on our vegetable growing group in Daxia!? You can grow vegetables in the space station, why can't you grow them in the moon base!? ”

"Stop! Growing vegetables on the moon!? Where to get the organic matter!? Do you plant it in a vacuum!? ”

"Haven't you ever seen a vegetable greenhouse? Do you have to plant it directly on the moon!? Cerebral palsy!! ”

"Anyway, I don't believe that Great Xia can stay on the moon for a long time! It's not just food, it's also the consumption of other supplies, and there's no way to replenish it on the moon! If you want to stay on the moon and build a base to mine the moon's resources, you need to have a large mining machine, right!? How to drop? Have you solved controlled nuclear fusion? No chemical fuel is consumed!? ”

"I have to say, what I said upstairs still makes sense!"

"Listen to your keyboard warriors pointing out the country here, it's better to listen to what Chief Master Yang has to say!"

Regarding the controversy in the live broadcast room, Chief Yang didn't know, and in the face of the host's question, he said with a smile:

"Our moon base has been built, and the astronauts' food and water can be well solved!"

"As for the machinery and equipment used to exploit the lunar resources, we also have the means to continuously refuel without relying on the Blue Star ......."
