Homo sapiens.

Chapter 406 Life on the Space Station
Homo sapiens space station.

After a day of assembly, the construction work was finally completed.

10 spaceships have become 10 space capsules, among which the node cabin and two power cabins are the core, forming the central axis.

The other 7 compartments are connected at two connection points of the node compartment.

At this time, Meng Haiyang and the maintenance officer Sakoshi Isao were floating inside the cabin, checking various areas.

Among them, the nuclear power cabin is the target of key inspection.

The nuclear reactor in this nuclear power cabin, due to technological innovation, is said to be a nuclear reactor, but it is actually 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, which squeezes the heat energy emitted by the nuclear reactor to the extreme, achieving an extreme 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 cabins.

"everything is normal!"

Therefore, such a set of liquid cooling system is set up. This set of liquid cooling system will concentrate the solar heat accumulated in the shell of the space station to the nuclear power cabin for supplementary power generation while taking into account cooling.

Doesn’t it mean that the cost of protection has increased, and the range of the spacecraft has increased by 1200 kilometers. It doesn’t matter, Homo sapiens can afford this increase in cost.

Even new human beings will feel fear and anxiety when facing this vast and boundless starry sky, which is an inevitable emotion for the unknown.

Soon the solar wind reached the space station.

"no problem."

The Homo sapiens space department is already planning to occupy the inner area of ​​the entire Van Allen radiation belt in the future to suppress the entire low-Earth orbit.

After all, the dangers brought by the natural environment can be overcome.

The Van Allen radiation belts instead serve as a protective layer for the Homo sapiens space station.

After everyone entered the living cabin, the cabin door was quickly and automatically locked. This is a requirement in the space work regulations, which is to ensure that each cabin is an independent airtight cabin during daily operations.

Zhang Gongyu is not only a psychological counselor, but also a material scientist. He worked in the 2331 laboratory of the Institute of Biomaterials before.

Everyone seemed to be swimming in the living cabin.

The reason why the Van Allen radiation belt was chosen as the orbit of the space station was for safety.

Although this aerospace armor is specially designed for outer space, it doesn't mean everything will be fine.

……

"David, report the situation."

The two power cabins are also the main power system of the entire space station, with 160 tons of methane and liquid oxygen stored on them.

Through this liquid-cooled power generation hybrid system, it not only avoids the heat accumulation caused by solar radiation, but also provides an additional 0.3 megawatts of power generation power for the space station.

Since it was only used once yesterday, the inspection is relatively simple, mainly to check whether the data of each sensor is normal or not.

Meng Haiyang turned his head and asked with a smile, "Dr. Zhang, when do you plan to start the experiment?"

Only time can dilute everything.

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.

If it is in a 400-kilometer orbit, with a large number of Starlink satellites and various other micro-satellites, the difficulty of monitoring has increased by an order of magnitude.

The magnetic cage defense system of the space station blocks most of the charged proton flow, while cosmic rays are blocked by the radiation protection layer of the outer shell, and the heat energy is brought to the nuclear power cabin by the liquid cooling cycle and converted into electrical energy.

After the two flew back to the node cabin, they saw Zhang Gongyu, the vice-captain who had come out of the experiment cabin, looking innovative and a psychological counselor.

The other living room—2 cabins is used for washing, catering and entertainment.

In fact, the node cabin can also hang a few sleeping bags, which can be used as a temporary rest cabin.

According to the needs of the garrison, Meng Haiyang began to divide into groups: "Chuangxin, Dr. Zhang, and David, you are in a group, and I am in a group with Sayue."

The functions of the two living cabins are actually not the same. For example, the living cabin 1 they entered at this time, this cabin is mainly used for sleeping, medical treatment, and driving.

It looks like you're wearing a space suit, but it's actually bio-based armor.

There is no need to risk yourself for a scientific research facility like the space station.

Meng Haiyang asked, "Is there any problem with the experimental equipment?"

When the satellite lowers its flight altitude, it is pushing the boat along the current, while flying to the Van Allen radiation belt is sailing against the current.

In addition, there are basically not many satellites in the orbit around the Van Allen radiation belt, and the magnetic field radar of the space station is very easy to find approaching targets.

"Three days later! Let's get used to the environment first. After all, it's our first time in space, and we don't have as much experience as the space agencies of the great powers."

Zhang Gongyu shook his head: "I haven't found it yet, and I need to observe it for a while."

After Meng Haiyang and Sa Yuegong checked the nuclear power cabin, they confirmed that there was no problem, and then continued to the two power cabins.

The Homo sapiens space department is very clear that for some time to come, low-Earth orbit will become a space battlefield for all forces.

Although the internal nuclear power waste heat has been suppressed to a minimum, the heat energy brought by solar radiation cannot be ignored.

After all, Homo sapiens has not engaged in manned spaceflight before, and even if the Ministry of Field Service "learned" the aerospace databases of major forces, it is still not 100% sure.

This is mainly to avoid a problem in one of the compartments and spread to other compartments.

At the same time, when flying in an orbit at an altitude of 1600 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.

As for this part of the extra power generation, the way the space station handles it is to put this part of the power into the artificial magnetic field.

In fact, these astronauts are all elite new humans, specially selected for scientific experiments on the space station, and all of them are all-rounders.

For the spacecraft of other forces, the Van Allen radiation belt is a forbidden area, but for Homo sapiens, it is a clean land.

In order to go to space, they also implanted some special bio-based armor.

Meng Haiyang hurriedly said, "Go back to the living cabin."

This is why Zhang Gongyu proposed to observe for three days before considering the experiment.

"Is there any abnormality in Jijia?"

After passing through this solar wind safely, everyone had a trace of confidence on their faces.

Through the height advantage of the middle orbit, with a condescending attitude, it will occupy the height advantage in the future space confrontation.

Because during the period of direct sunlight, the high-energy particles and cosmic rays in the Van Allen radiation belt will increase, and this part of the electricity can just be used to enhance the shielding strength of the artificial magnetic field.

But the darkness of the human heart is an unpredictable thing.

Although the bio-based armor on the five astronauts has passed a lot of simulation experiments, the simulation experiments are not the real environment after all.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, blocking the test of the solar wind gave them a lot of peace of mind.

If, like the International Space Station, the orbit is arranged in a 400-kilometer orbit, then it is not too simple for the Starlink satellites to come and touch porcelain.

"Alert! Solar wind detected..."

This is mainly because biotechnology is the core of Homo sapiens' technology tree, 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 Homo sapiens to explore a little bit.

Seventeen minutes later, this time the solar wind passed.

"no problem."

It is very necessary to take turns to be on duty, and there is no other way.

But even if you are on duty, you are not always busy for 12 hours. The company stipulates a 6-hour working system, which must be implemented. The rest of the time can be used for entertainment, or making phone calls with family members.
