After a day of combination, the construction work was finally completed.
The 10 spaceships turned into 10 space capsules, of which the node module and the two power modules are the core and form the central axis.
The other seven cabins are connected at the two connection points of the node cabin.
At this time, Meng Haiyang and maintenance technician Sha Yuegong were floating inside the cabin, inspecting various areas.
Among them, the nuclear power cabin is a key target for inspection.
The nuclear reactor in this nuclear power cabin, due to technological innovation, is said to be a nuclear reactor, but in fact it is more like a nuclear battery.
In order to reduce the accumulation of internal waste heat, the entire power generation system has prepared four layers of temperature difference power generation to squeeze the heat energy emitted by the nuclear reactor to the extreme, achieving an ultimate conversion efficiency of 99.99%.
In addition, the power generation system of this nuclear power cabin is also equipped with a liquid cooling system.
However, the liquid cooling system is connected to the liquid cooling water pipes in other compartments.
After all, Homo sapiens has never engaged in manned spaceflight before. Even if the Field Service Department "learned" from the aerospace databases of major forces, it was still not 100% sure.
…
If, like the International Space Station, the orbit is arranged at a 400-kilometer orbit, it would not be too easy for the Starlink satellites to come over and make trouble.
The two power cabins are also the main power systems of the entire space station, with 160 tons of methane and liquid oxygen stored on them.
Although this aerospace-type base armor is specially designed for outer space, it does not mean that everything will be fine.
"In three days! Let's get used to the environment first. After all, this is our first time in space, and we don't have as much experience as the space agencies of the great powers."
This is mainly to prevent problems in one cabin from spreading to other cabins.
In order to go into space, they also implanted some special biological armor.
Through the height advantage of the mid-level orbit, with a condescending attitude, it will occupy a high altitude advantage in future space confrontations.
The Homo Sapiens Space Ministry is very clear that in the future, low-Earth orbit will become a space battlefield for all forces.
At the same time, when flying in an orbit at an altitude of 1,600 kilometers, there is basically no need to consider atmospheric resistance. The height of the space station can remain stable for a long time, and there is no need to regularly increase the orbital height like the International Space Station.
After Meng Haiyang and Sha Yuekong inspected the nuclear power cabin and confirmed that there were no problems, they continued to the two power cabins.
Zhang Gongyu is not only a psychological counselor, but also a materials scientist. He previously worked in Laboratory 2331 of the Institute of Biomaterials.
Since it was only used once yesterday, the inspection is relatively simple, mainly to check whether the data of each sensor is normal.
Isn't it just that the cost of protection has increased and the range of the spacecraft has increased by 1,200 kilometers? It doesn't matter. Homo sapiens can afford this increase in costs.
Everyone seemed to be swimming fish one by one as they entered the living cabin.
Although the bio-based armor currently worn by the five astronauts has passed a large number of simulation experiments, the simulation experiments are not the real environment after all.
As for this additional power generation, the space station handles this part of the electrical energy by putting it into the artificial magnetic field.
In fact, this group of astronauts are elite new humans, specially selected to conduct scientific experiments on the space station, and all of them are all-rounders.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, having blocked the test of the solar wind, which gave them a lot of peace of mind.
"Alert! Solar wind detected..."
Meng Haiyang said quickly: "Return to the living cabin."
Therefore, a liquid cooling system has been set up. This liquid cooling system will concentrate the solar heat accumulated on the outer shell of the space station into the nuclear power cabin for supplementary power generation and cooling at the same time.
The Van Allen radiation belts were originally chosen as the orbit of the space station for safety reasons.
In fact, the node cabin can also hang a few sleeping bags and use it as a temporary rest cabin.
"everything is normal!"
After safely surviving this solar wind, everyone had a little more confidence on their faces.
When a satellite lowers its flight altitude, it is pushing the boat with the current, but flying to the Van Allen radiation belts is pushing the boat against the current.
"no problem."
The darkness in the human heart is something difficult to predict.
Although the internal waste heat of nuclear power has been suppressed to a minimum, the heat energy brought by solar radiation cannot be ignored.
After the two flew back to the node cabin, they saw deputy captain Mao Chuangxin and psychological counselor Zhang Gongyu coming out of the experimental cabin.
Zhang Gongyu shook his head: "We haven't found anything yet. We still need to observe it for a while."
For spacecraft of other forces, the Van Allen radiation belt is a restricted area, but for Homo sapiens, it is a pure land.
Because during direct sunlight, high-energy particles and cosmic rays in the Van Allen radiation belts will increase, and this part of the electricity can be used to enhance the shielding strength of the artificial magnetic field.
According to the needs of the garrison, Meng Haiyang began to divide into groups: "Chuangxin, Dr. Zhang, and David, you will be in a group, Sha Yue and I will be in a group."
This liquid-cooled power generation hybrid system not only avoids heat accumulation caused by solar radiation, but also provides an additional power generation power of about 0.3 megawatts to the space station.
Meng Haiyang asked: "Is there any problem with the experimental equipment?"
If it is in an orbit of 400 kilometers, there will be a lot of Starlink satellites and various other micro-satellites, and the difficulty of monitoring will increase by an order of magnitude.
"Are there any abnormalities in the base of the nail?"
Meng Haiyang turned around and asked with a smile: "Dr. Zhang, when do you plan to start the experiment?"
Soon the solar wind reaches the space station.
Even new humans will feel fear and uneasiness when facing this vast starry sky. This is an inevitable emotion towards the unknown.
For scientific research facilities like the space station, there is no need to put yourself at risk.
The other living room - cabin 2, is used for washing, dining and entertainment.
Only time can dilute everything.
After all, the dangers posed by the natural environment can be overcome.
It looks like he's wearing a space suit, but it's actually bio-based armor.
Of course, this power generation refers to when the space station is directly illuminated by the sun. If it is located in the shadow area of the earth, then this power generation will be lost.
The Homo Sapiens Space Department is already planning to occupy the entire inner region of the Van Allen Radiation Belts in the future to achieve suppression of the entire low-Earth orbit.
The Van Allen radiation belts have instead become a protective layer for the Homo sapiens space station.
This is mainly because in the technology tree of Homo sapiens, biotechnology is the core, and other forces do not have such things as bio-based armor. There is no place to learn from in this regard, and Homo sapiens can only rely on themselves to explore a little bit.
After everyone enters the living cabin, the cabin door quickly and automatically locks. This is a requirement in space work regulations, which is to ensure that each cabin is an independent airtight cabin in daily operation.
"David, please report the situation."
The magnetic cage defense system of the space station blocks most of the charged proton flow, while the cosmic rays are blocked by the radiation protection layer of the outer shell. The heat energy is brought to the nuclear power cabin by the liquid cooling cycle and converted into electrical energy.
The functions of the two living cabins are actually different. For example, the living cabin they entered at this time - 1, this cabin is mainly used for sleeping, medical treatment, and driving.
In addition, there are few satellites in orbit around the Van Allen Radiation Belts, so it is very easy for the space station's magnetic field radar to detect approaching targets.
17 minutes later, this time the solar wind passed.
This is why Zhang Gongyu suggested observing for three days before considering conducting experiments.
"no problem."
Taking turns on duty is very necessary, but there is no other way around it.
However, even if you are on duty, you are not always busy for 12 hours. The company's 6-hour work system per day must be implemented. The remaining time can be used for entertainment, or making phone calls with family members.
