This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 301 New Space Suit!
No one knows about the situation in the Freedom Federation, people only know that Fan Xing has amplified his move again.

After introducing the situation of the space station, Practical Science and Technology Aerospace Company pushed out the Skyrocket again.

This time, instead of launching a new module for the starry space station, it's a new component for the lunar outpost.

As for what it is, neither the Fanxing Space Agency nor the Practical Science and Technology Aerospace Company said, they only said that this time the number of astronauts stationed on the moon will be increased to 20!
Boy, this is big.

Compared with the new equipment, people are still more interested in lunar astronauts who are also human beings.

Especially these dozen or so people are quite difficult.

This time, 10 are astronauts from Practical Science and Technology Aerospace Corporation, and the rest are astronauts from Starry Space Agency.

In this way, together with the original ones, the Starry Space Agency and the Practical Science and Technology Space Company each have 10 astronauts on the moon.

This is the largest number of humans ever on the moon at the same time!

However, the Sky rocket cannot carry people, so this mission is a bit complicated.

To allow so many people to land on the moon, a moon-class Earth-Moon system ferry spacecraft is definitely needed, but there is only one on the moon now, and it will take several flights to carry these dozen people.

It's just that the number of people stationed at the outpost has to reach 20, and it's not enough to have only one spaceship as a means of transportation.

After all, in ordinary times, there is a boat that can make do with it, and the big deal is "traveling off the peak", but when it comes to critical moments, it is a lifeboat.

Although a boat can hold 20 people, the error tolerance rate is too low.

So in any case, prepare a few more spaceships.

With 20 people, it is not too much to prepare four spaceships.

In this case, there is one on the moon, and only three more can be launched.

In the first step after the mission started, the astronauts were first sent to the Starry Space Station by the wooden kite-class aerospace plane. Now the space station has a rotating simulated gravity cabin and enough dormitories to accommodate dozens of people.

The second step is to use three recovered versions of the Long March [-] to launch three Earth-Moon system ferry craft.

The three Earth-Moon system ferry spacecraft docked at the Tianmen berth of the space station, and the astronauts of the lunar outpost bid farewell to the astronauts of the space station, and took some gifts from the astronauts of the space station to fly to the moon.

At this time, launch the Sky rocket equipped with the new cabin, and its Sky cargo ship will fly directly to the moon.

"Cow! It's too awesome!"

“A dozen people landed on the moon together, that’s awesome!”

"Hahaha, if you want to see manned landing on the moon, there must be a lot of stars."

"This is another big step, the largest number of people on a single mission to the moon ever."

"Yes, another new record!"

"However, such a large-scale manned landing on the moon must have some major mission. It always feels a bit wasteful to increase the number of people just for the sake of increasing the number of people."

"Not necessarily, it may be purely for the purpose of increasing the number of people, just like the development of human manned spaceflight, one person at the first time, and then developed to two, three, or even several people now."

"Well, everything related to exploration is calculated based on the increasing number of people participating. The more people participating, especially the more permanent people, basically means more success."

"It may be the same rhythm as the Starry Space Station, which is to build bigger, accommodate more people, and then expand the functional cabin little by little, and gradually become a space transfer station."

"It makes sense. It's probably some cabins with manufacturing functions. Since Fanxing plans to build an industrial zone in Earth's orbit, it will definitely follow suit on the moon, and even mining on the moon is more convenient."

"Hey, so to speak, the astronauts have also seen it, and now I'm interested in those new cabins."

"Haha, I thought military fans were all big pigs, but I didn't expect there to be so many big pigs among aerospace enthusiasts."

"Ahem, cough, nonsense, we just keep up with the pace of the times and progress with new technology!"

"That's right, that's right, that's how it is..."

"..."

Compared with the lively earth, space is always silent.

The three Earth-Moon ferry ships used by the astronauts are not purely new ships, they have run cargo missions at least once.

And the manned first flight of this batch of new ships is much more daring than the first flight of the first spacecraft. With the blessing of technical confidence and super fuel, they flew to the moon in one day.

During the descent phase, the moon-flying spacecraft ejected hot flames to slow down, and then under the guidance of the outpost, the six landing legs of the spacecraft landed firmly on the lunar surface.

Not one spaceship with such a movement, but three successive ones all landed on the landing platform steadily.

The landing platform of the outpost has changed a lot. It is different from the original "original sandy land". Now it looks like a helicopter landing platform.

Because of the weight of the spacecraft, it is not paved with steel plates, nor does it use any cement, but a special fixative fluid, which is sprinkled on the lunar rover after it has flattened the predetermined location.

After the lunar soil there was fixed, the astronauts applied several layers of special paint to it to resist cold, heat, and radiation, and finally became the current landing platform.

After the three moon-flying spacecraft landed, the astronauts on the moon did not rush out of the cabin, but began to wear new extravehicular spacesuits after checking all the equipment.

The new space suit is called a "powered hard space suit", which is an extravehicular space suit, so it looks thicker.

However, it is different from the thickness of the extravehicular spacesuits in active service. Its appearance is armored, not textile material.

This lives up to its "rigid" designation, and it also makes it look less bulky than the textile-heavy EVAs.

After all, thick and bloated are not the same.

Because of the use of new protective materials, the hard armor of these spacesuits can easily withstand the impact of micro space junk and micro meteorites.

This also makes the structure of the new spacesuit simpler and clearer, ensures the use of space for the lining skeleton, allows it to provide additional power for the spacesuit, and allows astronauts to use the spacesuit flexibly no matter what the environment.

It has hanging points on its back, which can mount modular equipment such as space maneuvering devices, life support expansion modules, and special experiment modules, allowing astronauts to leave the spacecraft and cruise in space.

This means that it can be used not only on the moon, but also in Earth orbit, or even in any space environment.

The color of the powered hard space suit is classic space white, the common color of extravehicular space suits, and the huge transparent mask of the helmet is shining with golden colors, allowing astronauts to look directly at the sun in space.

Of course, the transparent visor is still somewhat fragile compared to the new type of armor, so when the astronauts feel that the working environment is not particularly safe, they can put down the curved armor on the helmet, and the armor can completely cover the transparent visor, allowing spaceflight Officers observe the outside world through the images provided by the camera.

This thing really looks like a... serious extravehicular spacesuit.

Well, when netizens see the way it opens and closes in the live broadcast, they can no longer look directly at its name.

"Is there a possibility that this spacesuit is actually a kind of power armor?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"That's right, it's impossible. The large-area transparent helmet visor, the extravehicular maneuvering device, and the white paint all show that it is a spacesuit!"

"Hey guy, do you bully me to watch less sci-fi movies? This thing is power armor!"

"I know a guy named 'Master Chief' who has a set of armor like this, but it's painted black and army green."

"In fact, apart from the different painting, the helmet of 'Master Chief' is also relatively small. This is a typical spacesuit helmet style in the live broadcast, but... it's just a style!"

Seeing these bullet screens flying by quickly, Li Future shrugged helplessly, as expected, he couldn't deceive anyone.

When people on earth saw this thing, the first thing they thought of was not a spacesuit, but a set of white power armor.

And on Earth, it has a more accurate name, full-coverage power armor.

Since this thing can be used in space and has its own power assist, it is more suitable to be used on the ground.

On the ground, the space maneuvering device on the back is useless, the thrust of the jet is too small, and it can blow a piece of paper on the ground.

However, Li Future designed a motorized device that is more suitable for the ground conditions, that is, the motorized wheels hidden in the shoes.

As long as the corresponding function is activated, the mechanical feet of the power armor will immediately change into the style of roller skates, and then move forward rapidly under the drive of the motor.

At the same time, there is also a corresponding back jet pack, but it cannot fly, it can only be used as a booster to accelerate or jump.

In this way, the hard armor can resist bullets, the fully enclosed mode can defend against poisonous gas, and the auxiliary power can make the user taller, faster and stronger.

There are also not many extended non-humanoid structures that allow pilots to use off-the-shelf human equipment.

After listening to this special design, the logistics staff nodded with satisfaction.

Then, because of the power system assistance, the back propulsion equipment behind the power armor can be directly replaced with ammunition boxes, allowing individual soldiers to use the vehicle-mounted 12.7mm heavy machine gun.

In the past, a light armor frame had a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, but now a frame has a machine gun and four power armors, and each power armor can also hold a heavy machine gun, making a total of five heavy machine guns.

Powered armor is more advanced than powered exoskeleton, and has stronger protection and firepower. Patients with insufficient firepower phobia are absolutely happy.

It’s just that such an easy-to-use thing will definitely be used to attack fortifications, so it will definitely be taken care of by intensive firepower. When it is repaired and reloaded afterwards, the smile of the logistics staff can instantly freeze on the face.

Regardless of whether the smiles of the logistics staff were stiff or not, Li Weiwei was very happy when he built this thing.

When the astronauts stepped out of the spaceship wearing the powered rigid space suit he designed and manufactured, and stepped on the moon, it represented the first time that a private group successfully sent commercial astronauts to the moon.

It is also the first time that humans have landed on the moon on such a large scale.

The people on the earth who watched this scene couldn't wait to cheer, and they were more excited than when the stars landed on the moon and built the lunar outpost.

Because the moon landings before this time were all state actions, even if private companies participated, the people who landed on the moon have nothing to do with ordinary people.

Utility Technologies Aerospace's behavior is different this time.

Foreign aerospace companies let people know that private individuals can also enter the sky, but it costs a lot of money.

However, Practical Science and Technology Aerospace Corporation has let people see the dawn of "affordable space travel". Is your trip to the moon not far away?

Netizens are thinking about this, and the dozen or so astronauts who have just landed on the moon have received warm greetings.

The previous "veteran employees" greeted them directly outside the cabin.

Of course, it was also because the original cabin of the outpost was too small and filled with various equipment, it simply couldn't accommodate 20 people.

They are now waiting for the arrival of the "Sky Cargo Ship", and the big guys in it will have a special large survival cabin.

And the scenery is so good...just like coming home.

After a while, the "Sky Cargo Ship" entered the lunar orbit.

Netizens saw the new cabin for the first time when it opened the huge hatch and the camera cut to a surveillance camera on the hatch.

One can see that the diameter of the cabin is estimated to be about 18 meters, which is similar to the diameter of the "Future Playground".

The height is probably less than 10 meters.

This makes the two cylindrical chambers look a bit like chess pieces, that is, flattened cylinders.

The shape of the other is amazing, it looks like a metal dome.

However, the length of the cargo hold of the "Sky Cargo Ship" is only 30 meters in total, and the aerodynamic arc cover that is shrunk at the top is also required. The two cylindrical cabins occupy a height of almost 20 meters. A cabin can only be made like this.

After they all fell one by one, and the metal dome was still in the middle, a full 20 lunar astronauts walked towards it.

The metal dome also has a link of "entering the door and dusting the dirt".

Dust the dirt before entering the door on Earth to be clean, but on the Moon it is to survive.

Moon dust is mainly produced by the moon being repeatedly impacted by meteorite bodies, including crystalline particles, igneous rock fragments, glass fragments and trace metal particles, etc., and because there is no erosion over the years on the earth, the edges and corners of these moon dust are very sharp.

The moon dust will be attached to the space suit and brought back to the living quarters, and the astronauts in the living quarters are basically the same as the costumes on the earth. The low gravity environment on the moon will only help the dust to be transported more easily. deep into body tissue.

So once it enters the eyes or is inhaled into the lungs, these ultra-fine, sharp-edged moon dust will cause a series of negative effects, causing eye pain, respiratory system and cardiovascular system problems are trivial.

This moon dust has been subjected to cosmic radiation for millions of years, and many of them are radioactive, which may react with certain tissues of the human body after entering the human body.

If you have successfully evolved during this process, then congratulations, you have finally been rewarded for being a good person for ten lifetimes.

If it doesn't, and you just hang up, that's okay, that's normal operation.

If you didn’t die directly, but some changes happened that made you miserable and tortured, then it must be that you did too many bad things in your previous lives.

In addition to people, moon dust is also very corrosive and abrasive to some equipment with poor protection, so it has to be prevented.

However, although the airlock with cleaning function in the dome cabin is large, it can't hold 20 people, so they have to enter in batches.

Because they didn't work outside for a long time, they just stood there and talked after meeting, so the extravehicular spacesuit didn't carry much moon dust.

When passing through the charge channel at the entrance, part of the charged moon dust was first sucked away, and then they entered the airlock and were blown violently by the compressed air. The moondust is removed.

This time the shot cut to the head-mounted lens of the last astronaut, and netizens followed his perspective to see what is called a large lunar surface survival module!
