This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 170 The Shock Next Door

Of course, the ideal state is the ideal state, and the reality is the reality. In order to ensure safety, there must be stairs.

And in order to double the safety, it is also necessary to add handrails on both sides of the stairs to ensure the safety of astronauts going up and down.

After all, the extravehicular spacesuit on the moon is very thick, no matter how flexible it is, it will limit the mobility of the astronauts. In addition, the astronauts are not familiar with the gravity environment of the moon, so they are likely to jump up and fall directly to the ground. Couldn't even get up.

This is not nonsense. At the beginning, the astronauts of the Freedom Federation almost couldn’t get up after falling because of the design problem of the spacesuit. They tried several times. In addition to the low gravity of the moon, they tried several times with the support of their arms before jumping. up.

In order to solve this situation, the Freedom Federation modified the flexibility of the lunar extravehicular spacesuit, and at the same time, it also proved the way for the latecomers.

When it comes to the internal structure of the outpost test module, it is not just as simple as being larger than the "Kitty Hawk" lunar module.

The height of 8 meters makes it have a two-story structure inside, not counting the erected roof solar panels and landing gear, the height of the cabin is 5 meters.

In this 5-meter-high space, the thickness of the protective layer is removed, and there are still more than 4 meters in total. It is enough to make two layers of space, and the thickness of the 6-meter diameter is more than 5 meters without the protective layer.

With a diameter of more than 5 meters, this is thicker than the core diameter of the Long March [-], and the length and width of that kind of small bedroom are about four or five meters.

The height of a little more than two meters may be lower for the bedroom, but as a precious living space on the moon, it is already quite good.

In the space of these two floors, there is a protrusion in the middle of the lower floor, which is the position occupied by the main engine. After all, only the engine protrudes in, the site can be lower, and the entrance and exit hatches will be as low as possible from the surface of the moon.

In addition to this thing, the first floor has an equipment maintenance area, a sample collection snow storage area, an extravehicular space suit storage and changing area, etc., as well as an important airlock.

If the first floor is related to equipment and machinery, then the second floor is much warmer. There are working cultivation areas, exercise areas, dining areas, entertainment areas, control areas, storage areas, sleeping areas, etc., as well as independent bathroom system.

The distribution of these spaces is quite delicate, and it can accommodate four astronauts at the same time without feeling too crowded.

The shots in these places were all taken by Uncle Ning with a photographer. The two of them went in wearing dustproof clothing after going through layers of cleaning procedures, and then turned around all the places.

If this is an official device, it might not be so easy for them to shoot it, but the outpost test cabin is a product of the practical technology company, so it is natural to shoot it casually.

Now that something has come out, it should be well publicized.

So after seeing the outpost test cabin in the video, netizens were completely shocked.

"Fuck, is this a starry manned lunar module??"

"No, didn't Uncle Ning say it, this is the outpost test cabin, it can only land and not take off again."

"Good guy, a whole two-story building has landed on the surface of the moon. Is it the first time Fanxing has played so big?"

"Besides, it's the first mission of the Long March [-]. This test cabin looks...not cheap. Is it really okay?"

"It should be no problem. Doing so can also show Fanxing's confidence in the Long March [-] rocket."

"I also think that Fanxing has a lot of confidence in the Long March [-], but I think Practicable Technology has more confidence in the Long March [-]. Otherwise, they wouldn't have put such an important device on the launch rocket, right?"

"Yes, I think so too, the configuration of this test cabin is too luxurious!"

"Yeah, you call this a test chamber? With such an exquisite configuration, you call this a test chamber?"

"Yes, shouldn't the test chamber be the kind of thing with a shell and nothing inside?"

"The previous new generation of manned spacecraft test ships are very empty, not to mention the seats for astronauts, and even the bathroom is probably empty. There are only some packages in the bulkhead grid, and the rest are empty. It looks like' Test' effect."

"Yes, yes, this is a complete lunar base, and its name clearly indicates that 'outpost' means forward base."

"Basically, the outpost refers to the vanguard, a unit stationed at a certain location for reconnaissance, intelligence search or enemy situation."

"So I would like to call it the first moon base of mankind!"

Generally speaking, if people want to know something about certain places, they should at least stay for a few more days and observe more, especially when they are on the moon. In just a few tens of hours, which is equivalent to a few days on the earth, basically nothing can be observed.

If you want to have a certain understanding of the moon in the landing area, you have to stay at least a few months.

However, the equipment used by humans to land on the moon before was only a manned lunar module. Such a small place can support the survival time of humans for dozens of hours, which is really impossible for a long time.

And the place is really too small, just a place for two people to "stay", and the astronauts can't stand this kind of place if they stay for a long time.

But it is different with the outpost test cabin. Its configuration seems to be prepared for the long-term stay of astronauts, and it even serves as an entertainment area in a limited space.

Of course, the exercise area, dining area, and entertainment area have overlapping parts, and there is no need to rearrange them for daily use. If there are slightly larger activities, you need to fold other parts and unfold the key parts.

Speaking of the entertainment area, in fact the most conspicuous thing is the huge screen, astronauts can usually use it to watch video programs, such as movies and TV, and also use it to play games.

Even after being disassembled and folded, this place can be used as the most "empty" place in the outpost. With the camera on the big screen, they can communicate with the ground, and use it to perform a show on holidays or something.

For example, a certain astronaut can bring his beloved guitar and play a guitar solo here.

Therefore, as long as the supplies can keep up, the mood of the astronauts can also be adjusted to a certain extent. They can easily stay here for a good year, and even the supplies in the test cabin are enough for two astronauts to live for a month.

And the design life of this "experimental cabin" is 10 years!
However, everyone knows the lifespan of aerospace equipment. As long as there are no major problems, the delay is certain.

After all, it is not easy to launch once, especially the larger the size and the farther the distance, it is even more difficult, and the maximum value must be squeezed out.

Just like the current International Space Station, its design life is 10 to 15 years, and it is still in use for many years now.

And various situations have proved that it is seriously aging, but because there is no substitute, so I can only find ways to prolong its life, and even want to use it for another 10 years.

Therefore, the importance of the outpost test module on the moon is self-evident. Not only netizens know it, but also the think tanks of the Free Federation Commander.

After this video was released, the think tank who had been paying attention to this aspect immediately contacted the Grand Commander's Office and let the Grand Commander watch this video.

The commander-in-chief lost his temper before he finished reading it, and called a meeting of relevant personnel.

"Who can tell me what this is?"

Deng Zi pointed to the big screen and said.

"The Starry Outpost Test Module, sir."

You Dazhi immediately replied.

"Of course I know!"

Said that Dengzi immediately became angry, "Of course I know what this is, I was the one who called you over for a meeting."

"I'm asking you how this thing came about. Can this level of equipment suddenly appear?"

"Why was there no news at all before!"

The conference room fell silent.

Because Dengzi was right.

This level of equipment is actually as important as a moon landing rocket. The Long March [-] on Fanxing's side has been talking about how long it has been, and there is no news about this thing, and it suddenly popped up.

Moreover, it is still made by Practical Technology, but how long has it been since Practical Technology's aerospace technology company was established, even if it is planned, it is not so fast, right?
But practical technology has indeed made the equipment, and it looks so awesome.

Not to mention the professionals in the aerospace department, even the laymen in other departments know it.

"It's too big, and it's divided into two layers. The divisions are so clear and reasonable. Our national team's lunar module is simply incomparable."

"Indeed, the lunar module of the national team is too small, maybe half the space of the outpost test module."

"This can't be compared. After all, our lunar module is the kind that can take off again. The outpost test module is big, but it can only stay on the moon."

"But now the key is that the other party can stay on the moon, while we can only stay for a while and leave. Colonization, have you forgotten the first step of colonization? This is the traditional craft of our ancestors!"

"The first step... raise the gun?"

"Occupying a territory, the first step is to occupy a territory. If we go there, we can only stay for a while and leave, how can we colonize!"

"That's right, how did you designate the plan to return to the moon? Is it just a simple return? Why didn't you think about building a lunar test module?"

"This... Actually, we have made plans, but the moon base is a late plan, and there is only a return plan in the early stage, because we are in a hurry..."

"Hurry for time? But the other party has already come in front of us now, do you call this rush for time?"

"Huh? When did they get ahead of us? We completed the first flight of the moon landing rocket a few months ago, and their moon landing rocket parts have just been delivered to the launch site!"

"I mean their moon base, no matter how hard they try, they're not going to get there faster than us, but if they get the moon base on the moon first, they can get the title of 'resident' Already!"

That's right, this is what Dengzi is most afraid of now. If he can return the Federation to the moon within his tenure, and he is one step ahead of Fanxing, then he will definitely be 99% sure of being re-elected.

The fact is indeed the case. The characteristics of Fanxing's plan are steady, but not fast. It is impossible to be faster than the Federation, so the success rate of his plan is very, very high.

But now an outpost test cabin suddenly appeared on Fanxing's side, which completely disrupted his plan.

Now Fanxing's side has also speeded up uncharacteristically, but after the analysis of the think tank, the Federation's side will still be faster. After all, the accumulation of time and technology is there, and even the facts are the same.

It has been several months since the first flight of the SLS rocket, and the parts of the Long March [-] rocket have just arrived at the launch site.

But now Fanxing obviously doesn't want to take that kind of "tourist" moon landing. They want to stay on the moon for a while for the first time, open another road and set a new record.

It's the same as when Lao Maozi failed to land on the moon and then transformed into a space station.

Now when it comes to manned landing on the moon, it must be the Free Federation, but when it comes to the space station, you can't avoid Lao Maozi.

From now on, when it comes to manned landing on the moon, it must still be the Free Federation, and when it comes to returning to the moon, it is still the Free Federation, but when it comes to permanent presence on the moon and more research on the moon, it is full of stars.

Returning to the moon is quick, but... so what?
Isn't it just a repeat of the moon landing decades ago?
What's the point?
As a drafted general, Deng Zi knows the importance of "new tricks" better than anyone else.

It's always the same job, who likes to watch it!

The reason why Mr. Chuan was so popular at the beginning was not because the other party could always make new tricks.

Many people even think that his election has nothing to do with him. This is completely a war between the forces that welcome President Trump and the forces that do not welcome President Trump.

and so……

"Tell me what strategy you have."

Deng Zi sat in his seat and said quietly.

"This one……"

This makes it difficult for the think tanks. After all, the plan has already been made. Just like what Dengzi said, things of this level will definitely not appear easily. Even if they want to advance the plan of the later moon base possible.

Because the process doesn't work that way.

If you don't have a master, do some research first, how can you know where the base is suitable?

What do you think about Practical Technology? Is it really good to just go directly to the outpost?
This thing landed in a completely worthless place, no mines, no water, no helium-3, isn't this a waste of such a good base?
"wrong!"

From the very beginning, everyone didn't finish watching this video. They knew that something was wrong after watching the first half, and then called people for a meeting. The countermeasures are much more perfect than they thought.

No wonder Practical Science and Technology insists that this complete lunar base module is called the "experiment module", because this lunar module carries 5 large lunar rovers and 10 small lunar rovers.

There are a total of 15 lunar rovers, what a shame!
There have never been so many cars on the moon. When these cars are running, the moon will definitely be very lively.

The usefulness of these cars is also clearly introduced in the video, just to find various resources.

Even if the place where the test module landed is not very good, when these vehicles are active on the moon, some things are not very important.

After all, things like landing on the moon still carry a strong political meaning!
