Me who fears women travels with beautiful girls

Chapter 321 23, space protein
The three people on the extraordinary journey were somewhat flattered by Pauli's rare concern.Considering that this task really needs the guidance and help of a professional team, the three of them naturally did not refuse the invitation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Dang even took a plane and flew directly to the capital.

As soon as they left Daxing Airport, they saw several black cars waiting for them at the airport gate.

The leader of the team was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He shook hands with the director, Song Wenbin and others as soon as he met. After exchanging pleasantries, Song Wenbin learned that his surname was Mu, and he was in charge of the reception work of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. director.

After the film crew and Song Wenbin got into the car, Director Mu immediately drove them all the way to the city.

Song Wenbin traveled to many countries for the filming of the show, but it was the first time in his life that he came from the capital of his hometown. On the way, he looked at both sides of the street curiously. The streets of BJ looked similar to the streets of his hometown, but the air was much drier. Drink water with Huo Yu non-stop.

Su Tina is from Yining, where she grew up in a relatively dry place, but she feels very comfortable here, and has been chatting and curiously asking Director Mu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences various questions.Asked all the way from the quantum collider to the Mars landing plan, Director Mu was very tactful, and the content of her answers was similar to what was said on TV.

Since the profession was completely wrong, Song Wenbin kept silent until the convoy drove to the gate of Beihang University, where Su Tina finally stopped asking questions and looked out the window curiously.

The vehicle passed through Beihang University all the way, and stopped at an experimental base deep in the campus.

After getting out of the car, Song Wenbin looked around. The tree-lined campus was unusually quiet. Occasionally, a crew-cut student wearing glasses hurried past with a book between them, without squinting.Even the air here is filled with the fragrance of knowledge, which is a kingdom beyond his comprehension.

Hearing the sound of a car approaching, a leader in his fifties, accompanied by his secretary, walked out of the building and shook hands with the director who got off the car.

"This is Professor Guo from Beihang University and the director of the Space Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences." Director Bao Li held the man's hand and introduced to Song Wenbin's trio: "He is a very famous expert on space issues in China."

"Where."

Director Guo said modestly: "We have known each other since Director Bao was in Beijing Film Academy. I was still a young researcher at that time."

The three quickly took turns to shake hands.When it was Song Wenbin's turn, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Teacher Yan, I heard colleagues from the Institute of Archeology mention you, and they spoke highly of you."

"Don't dare." Song Wenbin clasped his hands together as a sign of prayer, and said very humbly, "May I ask if you have come to us this time, do you have any requirements or orders?"

"Let's talk first." Director Guo said, pointing to the research institute behind him.

A group of people followed the director into the research institute. After entering the research institute, the quiet atmosphere in the university was slightly broken. Some well-informed young researchers heard the news that the extraordinary journey was coming, and they all read from their own They got out of the research room and watched secretly around the door, and some bold ones even came up and asked for a group photo.

Due to the nature of Beihang University of Science and Technology, most of the researchers here are men, and those who come to take pictures are looking for Su Tina and Huo Yu to take pictures, not many take pictures for Song Wenbin, but everyone who sees him wants to be with him Shake hands and tell him that he hates the teacher.

After the photo was taken, the researchers did not leave, and followed the Extraordinary Journey trio all the way to the research institute, some took pictures while walking, and there were more and more people.

"To be honest, I was shocked when I heard Pauli talk about your challenge. At first I thought it was some Internet lunatic's nonsense. But then I heard that Musk has written back to you, right?" Director Guo said Ask while walking.

Song Wenbin was ashamed, he admitted that it was indeed a lunatic's nonsense.

Su Tina is generous: "Yes, Musk wrote back to us. As long as we can complete this challenge, he will come to China to see us!"

The researchers who followed Director Guo were all in awe when they heard this, and started whispering.

"Oh I see."

Director Guo nodded and waved to the researchers behind him watching the excitement.

The researchers who gathered around Song Wenbin to take pictures held up their mobile phones and reluctantly left.

"Musk said he wanted to see you complete the challenge. Did he say that he would provide you with a spacecraft?" After the researcher left, Director Guo asked again.

"This...not really."

Song Wenbin said: "He only said that he will come to see us after we complete the challenge. If we don't complete it, this matter will probably be forgotten."

"That's good." Director Guo nodded, "Then what do you think about this plan?"

"Yes!" Su Tina said happily and couldn't wait: "We plan to find a plane that flies very high, and then have a free fall at high altitude, from which to simulate the feeling of weightlessness, and then finish eating hot pot in that environment challenge!!"

"Um…"

Director Guo pondered for a moment, then said, "It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, but have you thought about what plane to use?"

"I'm planning to find out if there is a Concorde plane, that kind of plane can take us to an altitude of 8000 meters." Su Tina said: "It should leave us more time to complete the challenge."

Su Tina talked eloquently, while Song Wenbin and Huo Yu could only listen from the sidelines. The current topic was beyond their knowledge, so they could only give the stage to Su Tina to perform.

Concorde...

Director Guo glanced at the secretary next to him and asked, "Has the Concorde been grounded?"

The secretary at the side quickly replied: "It's grounded, Director. It has been grounded since 03."

"It stopped flying more than 20 years ago."

Director Guo looked at Su Tina regretfully and said.

"It's like this. I asked my company's colleagues to contact us. They said that there are still several Concorde planes used for flight demonstrations in the aerospace exhibition hall in the UK. I wonder if it is possible to borrow them for use. Challenge." Su Tina said uncertainly.

Listening to Su Tina's words, Song Wenbin suddenly trembled for some reason. This guy was so excited, Barabara, why didn't he notice that the leader's expression was always serious.

Sure enough, after Su Tina finished speaking, Director Guo seemed to be lost in thought.

Su Tina still wanted to ask the director's opinion, but Song Wenbin quietly held her back, stuck to her side and whispered in her ear: "There are quite a lot of people watching our program abroad now... we still need to pay attention to some of the influence. If we Using foreign aircraft to complete the challenge, I'm afraid the impact will not be very good, especially after Musk's reply, this is no longer a simple program challenge..."

After Song Wenbin finished speaking, Su Tina's face turned pale, her lips parted slightly, and she didn't know what to say.

Song Wenbin coughed softly twice, sat up straight and said: "Director, just now my colleague is just thinking, and it is far from being implemented. To be honest, Musk's reply is also beyond our expectations. This kind of thing We haven't dealt with it either, Director, do you see...?"

Hearing what Song Wenbin said, a smile appeared on the director's face, and said: "I don't think this Concorde is a very good way. First of all, our country's high-altitude aircraft is also very advanced. There is no need to use the kind that was developed 20 years ago. Eliminated stuff, right."

"That's right." Song Wenbin quickly replied.

"Secondly, I think it's too conservative to use an airplane. If you want to fly at high altitudes, you can just take a rocket." The director said indifferently: "Flying [-] meters, it's a joke to take pictures, and you have to fly close to the ground Orbit, that’s the real space.”

low earth orbit...

Song Wenbin asked Su Tina in a low voice, "How tall is that..."

"Two... two hundred kilometers to two thousand kilometers..." Su Tina replied in a low voice.

Song Wenbin: ...

What are you doing, boss, is it that easy to go to space? Why do you want us to go up there! !
he yelled inwardly.

"Rocket? Isn't it... too..." Su Tina hesitated to speak.This is too serious, and there seems to be no precedent for commercial flights in China before.

"The cost is too high."

Huo Yu said: "It's too expensive to fly once. We're just doing an entertainment challenge, and we're just a commercial company. We need to consider costs and benefits. If we invest too much, we will inevitably lose money in the end. "

Director Guo waved his hand and said: "To be honest, before you, our space laboratory has made a lot of attempts in the field of new space food in recent years, and has made some breakthroughs, but we have not done real high-altitude experiments at all. Since you raised this challenge this time, we hope to cooperate with you to carry out a space food test, and if you are willing, we can arrange a low-Earth orbit flight for you.”

"Really???"

Su Tina exclaimed.

"It's true." Director Guo said seriously: "Since more than ten years ago, we have been preparing for the space observatory and the moon base. Now the space station has been completed, but the moon base has not yet been established. The National Space Administration The strategy planned by Bian is to build an unmanned exploration station in 2027, realize manned landing on the moon by 2030, and even establish a lunar scientific research station. But no matter what you say, the farther you go, the more important logistical support is. Our laboratory has Specialized personnel are responsible for the research and development of space food, but many of our foods have not been professionally tested, if there are professional volunteers who are willing to come and help us, I think the country will be very happy to support you to complete this test."

Seeing Director Guo's serious look, Song Wenbin was a little caught off guard. To be honest, he thought Su Tina's method was good, but now... is this fucking serious?
Obviously the director was serious, he pushed open a door in front of him and said, "Please follow us."

The film crew of Extraordinary Journey followed Director Guo and walked towards the interior of the laboratory together. After passing through many disinfection corridors and sterile workshops with many strange devices, they came to an inconspicuous laboratory .

White equipment is everywhere in the laboratory, and some plants and fungi grow in some transparent glass cabinets.Several staff members in pure white protective clothing were sitting in the laboratory doing experiments. When they saw the film crew approaching, they put down their work and stood up.

Song Wenbin looked around curiously. To be honest, he had never seen such a sci-fi place. The instruments and the plants enclosed in glass seemed to come out of a sci-fi movie.

Standing beside him, Su Tina kept patting his Huo Yu, reminding them to look around, their bodies trembling with excitement, if it wasn't for the occasion, she might not be able to resist jumping up and touching him at any time.

"This group specializes in the cultivation of space species." After that, Director Guo introduced to everyone in the laboratory, "These three are the hosts of the extraordinary journey. How many people."

Several researchers in the laboratory stood up and shook hands with the three of them, but when Song Wenbin shook hands with one of the handsome female researchers, the young female researcher suddenly asked: "Do you like to eat bugs?" ?"

What?Song Wenbin didn't react for a while.

The girl picked up a petri dish from the shelf next to it and put her finger in it. Soon, when she took it out again, a yellow-brown worm crawled on her finger wearing a thin plastic glove.

"Bugs, do you like to eat?"

The girl asked again.

Song Wenbin looked at the researcher's fair and delicate face, then at the worms crawling on her fingers, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Su Tina and Huo Yu also came over, their eyes widened curiously.

"What kind of bug is this?" Su Tina asked curiously.

"Breadworm, it's delicious." The female researcher said with a smile.

"I heard that you and Musk agreed to go to space to eat hot pot, right?" Director Guo asked.

"Yes, it is…"

Song Wenbin stammered back.

"To eat hot pot, you must boil meat, but beef and mutton may not be able to appear in space in a fresh form for a long time. But I think you can boil bugs."

Director Guo said solemnly: "In the future lunar science base, this will be our source of protein for a long time."

Song Wenbin: ...

Sutina: ...

Huo Yu: ...

"Astronaut, do you eat bugs?"

Song Wenbin asked cautiously: "I haven't heard of it, who are those in the sky now?"

"Oh, are you talking about the people on Tiangong now? They don't eat anything, they eat the supplies brought up from the ground. But after all, they are still in the near space, and supplies are convenient. If you want to go to the depths of the moon If it is empty and needs to survive for a long time, we must consider the issue of sustainable circular development, Xiaowen." The director shouted.

The female researcher used tweezers to pinch the wriggling mealworm back into the bottle, stood up, and said with a smile, "Please follow me."

The female researcher led Song Wenbin to a fully enclosed white capsule next to her, and she pressed the combination lock to open the cabin door.After the faint white smoke dissipated, the female researcher led the three of them into the strange white capsule.

Song Wenbin is taller, so he had to bend down a little when entering the door. After entering, he felt like he had come to a space version of a hobbit's house.

There are white or purple shimmers around the walls. Under the shimmer, there are various plants growing in the high-tech glass cabinets. Some of them are familiar to Song Wenbin, green vegetables, lettuce, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, and so on. He doesn't know it at all, but it looks like it should be a variety of fungi.The capsule is divided into several rooms, each of which is full of greenery. After walking to one of them, the female researcher stopped. In this transparent compartment, there is a transparent glass cabinet, which is densely covered with brown Mealworms, they are eating a pumpkin and vegetable leaves, making people's scalp numb.

"This is our Eco-[-] simulation system."

The female researcher introduced to the three people: "It can simulate a real environment 90.00%, including microorganisms, animals and plants, and a simple ecological chain. Here, future astronauts can carry out simple plant planting and mealworm cultivation. Without any interference from external factors, this ecology can support an astronaut's self-sufficiency for half a year without any problem."

Director Guo on the side added to the trio: "This is something that no other country in the world can do. They also have an ecological simulation system, but basically they all failed."

Undoubtedly, this is the most cutting-edge technology that Song Wenbin has ever seen. He has never seen such a good fusion of technology and nature. Sigh, it is natural and amazing.

Apparently, the other two colleagues also had similar feelings. They toured around the capsule, exclaiming in amazement from time to time, but Su Tina couldn't help asking in confusion after watching it.

"I... have a question, Director."

"Excuse me."

"Why not raise chickens?" Sutina asked: "Since we can breed worms, if we can solve the radiation problem, and have vegetables and grains, why not raise chickens? I mean, chickens can eat worms, and people can eat them." Eating chickens, chickens can lay eggs, isn't that...better?"

When Su Tina said this, Song Wenbin also became curious. There are all kinds of plants in this capsule, but the only moving animals are bugs. Things, even if you go to the moon, there is nothing wrong with raising some chickens.

"We did think about it very early on."

The female researcher next to Su Tina answered, "This is technically no problem, not to mention raising chickens, raising rabbits is fine. But after many ground tests, we found that in a long-term confined space Inside, it is easy for astronauts to feel lonely, especially when they are on a deserted alien planet hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, even the most professionally trained astronauts will inevitably feel lonely. Animals have emotions. If they are asked to kill the animals around them for food, it will cause unnecessary harm and burden to the astronauts’ spirits. Therefore, after careful consideration, in the early days of our lunar base, at least before there are many people, We're all going to use bugs as one source of protein."
