Chapter 91 Living Cabin
The Starship Spacecraft is mainly divided into four parts, the top is the work compartment, and then one by one is the living compartment, the power compartment and the detachable nuclear-powered propulsion system.
After leaving the work cabin, Naochen and Durunik drifted all the way to the living cabin under a microgravity environment.
Along the way, other astronauts gathered together in groups of three or three to talk about something.
Yuan Shichen found that most of the members who originally came from different teams gathered together with their familiar colleagues, just like himself and Durunik.
Sar, Lothar, Kadega, Aldridge, and Bruno, who were also members of the operation team, always maintained a unified action, while Summit and Chen Xi from the Indian Ocean Base followed all the way to Commander Roland.
Of course, there are also guys in the crowd who like to be alone, such as Huo Tianyu from the Institute of Space Science and Nikolayev from the Institute of Nuclear Dynamics.
Perhaps it will take some time for the entire team to become more harmonious.
The Starship Spaceship is not too big. Even a bad space drifting level like Durunik did not take much time to reach the living podium.
The connection between the living compartment and other compartments is very clever, which not only ensures good airtightness, but also does not hinder the rotation of the entire artificial gravity generation device.
When entering the living compartment, there is a buffer area. Because it is located in the center of the entire annular space, there is no centrifugal force when it does not rotate synchronously with the artificial gravity generation device.
Only when you go to the edge of the annular area through a special slide, as the rotation radius increases, the centrifugal force gradually increases, and finally reaches about 80% of the earth's gravity level.
The reason why the gravity in the living area is not forced to reach the same level as the earth is, on the one hand, because this level of gravity will no longer have a significant impact on the astronauts' bodies. On the other hand, considering that the speed is too fast, it will increase the difficulty in the actual use of the living compartment, and it can also reduce the energy consumption required to maintain the system operation.
"God, how do you get in this slide?" Durunik seemed very uncomfortable when he wanted to reach the ring edge of the living area for the first time.
"The rotation radius of the artificial gravity generation device is quite large, and the rotation speed is not fast. Durunik, are you afraid of heights? How did you pass the physical fitness assessment of the core personnel?" Yuan Shichen said sarcastically.
The entrance to the slide is indeed very spacious, and it will only gradually become narrower when it reaches the edge of the end.
"Let me demonstrate." As he said that, Yuan Shichen kicked his feet towards the bulkhead, and with the help of reaction force, he quickly floated towards the entrance of the upper, wide upper, narrow lower funnel-shaped slide.
With a "puff~", Yuan Shichen's body gently hit the slide, and then because the friction began to rotate with the slide, the resulting centrifugal force quickly threw him towards the edge of the track.
With another "puff~", Yuan Shichen slid on the air cushion at a speed not too fast.
"Hey, American, it's your turn!" Harashi Chen shouted on the ring edge of the living area.
However, at this time, Durunik, who was in the center of the circle, looked at Yuan Shichen very strangely. Yuan Shichen was spinning around him like a satellite.
"Do you need me to climb back and kick you over?" Yuan Shichen shouted while holding the ladder.
That's right, if you want to return to the central area from the edge of the living area, you must climb all the way to the center of the circle through the escalator. After returning to the center of the circle, the centrifugal force will disappear and the astronauts will return to the microgravity environment.
"SHI~T, don't worry. You can't lose face." Durunik finally made up his mind to kick the buffer slide.
"Ah~ah~ah~ah~"
With a "puff~", Durunik finally hit the air cushion on the ring-shaped edge of the living area!
"OH, MY, GOD!" Durunik shouted, "The equipment in this amusement park is really good!"
Yuan Shichen looked at Durunik and smiled without saying a word.
"Mr. Durunik, you are here too." A low voice rang behind him.
In the eyes of Harashiki, it was the Japanese scientist Suzuki, and Dr. Akichi was standing beside Suzuki.
"Hello, Dr. Mingqi, Mr. Haraki." Haraki also responded politely and nodded to Dr. Mingqi.
"Hello." Durunik also saw Dr. Mingqi and Suzuki. They were still familiar with each other because they had worked together to study the ancient alien life project of the Shichen Meteorite.
Dr. Mingqi's eyes were still so sharp, even a little weird. The eyes swept past Yuan Shichen and Durunik, as powerful as cosmic gamma rays.
Sure enough, Durunik was immediately uneasy when he was seen. He must have remembered terrifying things about the corpse in Dr. Minchi's laboratory, high-voltage electric shocks and other terrifying things.
"It's the first time you're riding a spaceship, right?" Suzuki continued to ask.
"Indeed, Suzuki-kun, this is my first time leaving the earth."
"As expected, it was the first time that Teacher Mingqi and I left the earth. So we looked around curiously."
"Each one another." Yuan Shichen nodded.
"Then let's go to the living area first, please visit it. Please give me your own wish." After a greeting, Suzuki and Dr. Mingqi said goodbye and left.
"As long as you don't keep staring at space, you don't feel anything special." Durunik finally adapted to the rotating environment here, looked around and continued, "Let's go and see the living area too."
"Get up!"
............
The instruments and equipment in the entire living area, including the astronaut's rest chamber, are exquisitely fixed on the bulkhead. The 30-meter-diameter circular space is used to provide the daily living and exercise needs of 17 astronauts, and the space conditions are still unsatisfactory.
"Come and see what delicious food is in our refrigerator." Durunik seemed to discover the New World.
"It's so unlucky, it's these special space dog food." Durunik opened the refrigerator and looked disappointed.
"Be careful of your words, we are not dogs!" Yuan Shichen gave him a blank look.
"I can only eat these in the past two months. I should eat better on Mars. Haha~" Durunik couldn't help laughing as he thought.
Yuan Shichen shook his head, thinking that it was indeed a lot of fun to have Durunik by his side.
