Chapter 819: Mid-Autumn Festival, special blessings(1/2)
Yuehuatai.
Two lunar rovers slowly drove to the front of the silver-white base. After verification, the gate of the base was the first to open.
When two lunar rovers entered the base one after another, the first thing they saw was not an internal scene, but a simple silver-white space.
Xi Hongwen observed it with interest and soon understood.
As a physicist, he knows very well what this space is for.
Simply put, this is an airtight door that protects the internal environment of the base.
The surface of the moon is close to a vacuum and has basically no atmosphere. For those who are moving on the base of the moon, it is impossible to wear space suits at all times.
Whether it is in the cabin or outside the cabin, it is very inconvenient to work and scientific research experiments as long as it is worn.
Therefore, in addition to gravity, the environment inside the base will inevitably find ways to maintain it until it is the same as the earth.
And this simple silver-white space, when the lunar rover comes in, the atmosphere inside will be leaked.
But there are not many leaks, after all, the space is only so large.
When the first door is closed, the inside of the base will replenish the atmosphere again, thus forming an environment like the inside.
At this time, the second airtight door will be opened again, and the lunar rover and astronauts can enter.
At that time, the second airtight door will be closed and the airtight space will form an independent system, and it will be re-activated.
This will ensure the stability of the internal environment and enable entry and exit at the lowest cost.
......
Just as Xi Hongwen speculated.
In the simple air-tight space, after waiting for a while, he suddenly heard some sounds from the outside world.
It was not in the space suit, but directly from outside, very subtle, like the "click" sound of the door opening.
Not far away, the second airtight door also opened.
The rover restarted and headed towards the inside of the base.
When he stayed again, a bright incandescent light had fallen above everyone's heads.
Next to him, a staff member in casual clothes who had been waiting for the base there came up and used professional equipment to clean up the moon dust outside the car and help them open the car door.
Unbuttoned the helmet of the spacesuit, opened the lock and took off the helmet, took a deep breath of fresh air in the base, Bu Qi walked out of the car with a smile.
Looking at Xi Hongwen who looked around at the internal situation of the base, with novelty and a hint of at a loss in his eyes, he smiled and said:
"At this time, this is our moon base, Yuehuatai."
He took off the helmet of the space suit clumsyly, Xi Hongwen took a deep breath of air, looked around strangely, and moved his body.
The light body seemed to be able to touch the ceiling by just jumping around, which was amazing.
Looking at Xi Hongwen who was experiencing the environment of the moon base, Bu Qi smiled and said, "Adit for it, there are still a lot of tasks waiting for you next."
After pausing, he continued, "Let's go, leave it to others here. I'll take you to handle relevant entry procedures and other things first."
"Here, it's hard to move forward without permission. Not to mention doing experiments, you can't even eat."
After smiling, Bu Qi then took the lead in walking towards the base, and at the same time briefly introduced the internal situation of the base.
On the side, Xi Hongwen quickly followed.
While walking, he looked at the situation inside the base core curiously and listened to Bu Qi's introduction.
If the buildings and landscapes outside the base shocked him, then the situation inside the base would be a bit mediocre.
Everything here is not much different from what it seems to be on earth.
Overall, it is a combination of hotel research institutes.
The core of the base is thirty-six.7 meters high, the underground part is 28.4 meters, and the above-ground part is 8.3 meters, and there are a total of ten floors.
The heights are also different between different floors. The floors of residential areas are lower, only 2.6 meters, which is lower than the standard height of ordinary residential communities on earth.
However, this is on the moon, and this height is enough to meet the daily life of astronauts and working scientific researchers.
The floor height of the work area and the experimental area is much higher, generally more than three meters or even higher.
After all, some experimental equipment may be more than three meters high.
In addition, in order to ensure the physical and mental health of astronauts and staff and scientific researchers, the base is also equipped with various facilities such as small libraries, gyms, and entertainment rooms.
Overall, the base has taken into account the various situations that residents may encounter.
If you want to say something has any disadvantages, it is probably the room you live in, which is not large.
The rooms here are basically the same, each room has an area of less than twenty square meters.
There is nothing else in the room except for simple facilities such as beds, wardrobes, and work desks.
There is nothing in the living room, kitchen, and bathroom.
For those living in this base, eating either takes care of the various dispensed bags of liquid or solid food, or goes to the cafeteria.
Daily washing and toilet use are also carried out in concentrated areas.
Although the environment is a bit simpler, Xi Hongwen has nothing to complain about.
Not to mention the rest, just the construction cost, this place may surpass any place on the earth.
If you put it in places like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, you may not be able to change one square meter here.
According to Bu Qi's disclosure, China has invested more than 100 billion yuan in just building this Yuehuatai scientific research outpost base.
Of course, I don’t know the specific number. Although this number is not a secret, it is not something that people like them can understand.
However, I guess this is more than 100 billion, and it is probably not enough to be over 100 billion. It is hard to say that the number ahead will change.
This is also the reason why Xu Chuan thought of developing a second-generation aircraft to take off and land vertically on the moon and Mars, and build a lunar base through splicing.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Because the actual construction of a lunar base is too much money.
The assembly cost of space shuttles can be compressed to about one billion after the industrial assembly line production is realized.
Even if it is spliced into a lunar base through ten second-generation aircraft, the cost is only 10 billion.
So to be honest, it is already a luxury to be able to provide them with a living room of nearly 20 square meters.
In fact, if you just provide a sleeping environment, ten square meters, no, five square meters are enough.
......
He took Xi Hongwen to the front of a dormitory with a number. Bu Qi took out a card from his pocket, handed it over, and said with a smile:
"This is the dormitory assigned to you. There are all daily necessities in it. If you have any other needs, you can contact me or the managers in the base."
“We will provide you if reasonable.”
"This card is your pass in the base, it is also the access card for the dormitory and your identity card."
"The relevant right of way and information have been sent to your email address. Please be sure to understand clearly. It is strictly forbidden to go to areas without permission to pass."
“Of course, if you need it, you can apply.”
"In addition, please be sure to keep this permission card in mind. If it is lost, please report it as soon as possible."
"This is not only for you to use it all by eating, bathing and sleeping, but also represents your personal situation. If it is lost, it will be very troublesome and it cannot be done simply by re-issue."
After reaching out to take the card, Xi Hongwen and Zheng nodded heavily and said, "I understand, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Bu Qi smiled and continued, "I won't disturb you anymore, have a good rest. I wish you can adapt to the environment on the moon as soon as possible."
After explaining the relevant matters clearly, Bu Qi turned around and left here. He had a lot of other tasks to be busy with.
At the same time, Xi Hongwen also closed the door of the dormitory, put the luggage he brought to the corner, and sat down on the soft bed.
After breathing a long sigh, he touched the mattress under him. The soft touch came from his hands. He fell down and lay on the soft bed.
This is a completely different feeling than sleeping on the Star Sea space shuttle.
In space, because he was floating in the air, he always wanted to catch something when sleeping in a weightless environment.
And here, although there is also a gentle sense of floating, there is still some gravity on the moon.
Although not many, it is enough to make a person stick completely to the bed. The comfort level is definitely better on the moon.
Looking at the silver-white ceiling and feeling this wonder, Xi Hongwen couldn't help but smile.
Although there is some research in the field of physics, he is not very top among the many scientific researchers who have applied to go to the moon.
And if it is included in the entire physics community, he can only be regarded as an ordinary scientific research dog.
However, the reason why he was able to stand out from the competition among hundreds of people was simply because he came from Xinghai Research Institute.
There is no doubt that this is the most glorious time in his life.
Starting tomorrow, he will shoulder the burden and carry the mission of civilization.
