The aircraft carrier has been launched into the water, and you still call it a toy?

Chapter 102 The Crouching Starship and Daxia Moon Base!

Judging from the current situation.

When the starship passed through the Van Allen radiation belt, it must have encountered a stream of high-energy charged particles!
High-energy particle radiation can be said to be the natural enemy of electronic equipment!
Especially the communication equipment on the starship.

Under the interference of such high-energy charged particles, it was almost directly paralyzed!
In this case, the live broadcast of spx must not continue!

He immediately stood up and anxiously said to his assistant: "Tell the team in charge of the live broadcast to suspend the live broadcast immediately!!"

"But boss, there are hundreds of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room now! If this broadcast is stopped, it will probably have a serious impact!" The assistant was stunned.

Mark glanced at the assistant coldly: "If you don't stop at this time, the consequences may be more serious!"

"Tell the live broadcast team, let them tell the audience that the starship is now passing through the high-radiation belt, and the live broadcast can be performed normally after passing the radiation belt!"

The assistant nodded and immediately urged the matter to go.

at the same time.

The deputy commander called Mark's office.

The rapid ringing of the phone, like a spell to urge him to death, made Mark unable to keep calm any longer and became irritable.

But the deputy commander had to answer the phone call.

"Mr. Vice President..."

Before Mark answered the phone, he heard the roar of the deputy commander immediately!

"Damn it! Mark!"

"What's wrong with the starship!! Why is the connection with the ground broken!!"

"If something happens to the 35 astronauts on the starship, you can go to jail!!"

"and also."

"Many people in the live broadcast room are asking where the starship is!"

"If there is no reasonable explanation, just the saliva of these Internet users is enough to drown you!!"

The vice-commander caught Mark and gave a pause, then hung up the phone with a snap.

Only Mark with a gloomy face was left.

boom--!
Mark slammed the phone in his hand on the table.

"Fake!"

"Fake!!"

"Fake!!!"

After venting his anger, Mark gradually calmed down.

The problem with the starship, at present, is most likely to be a communication problem.

The only thing that can be done now.

Just wait until after passing through the high-energy particle belt, and then try to contact the starship.

But Mark has lost hope.

Most people may think that as long as they pass through the radiation belt, there should be nothing wrong.

But what they don't know is.

The damage of high-energy charged particles to electronic equipment is almost irreversible!

In the Van Allen radiation belts, high-energy particles are not evenly distributed.

If your spacecraft happens to be unlucky and encounters a strong stream of energetic charged particles.

That would be a disaster!
These particles are so tiny that they are only the size of atomic nuclei, and can only be observed under a high-power electron microscope.

It mainly comes from galactic cosmic rays, solar cosmic rays and radiation belts.

When high-energy charged particles interact with a material, they transfer and deposit their own momentum and energy inside the material, thereby affecting and destroying the structure and properties of the material.

Its harm is mainly manifested in two aspects.

The first is radiation damage effects.

If the irradiated object is a spacecraft.

Then it can cause accelerated degradation of the functions of various materials on the spacecraft, and the performance of electronic devices will be attenuated!

For example, the output power of solar cells is reduced, and the performance indicators of various semiconductor devices are reduced or even damaged!

If the irradiated object is an astronaut.

Then it can cause damage to the structure and function of human organs, make astronauts feel uncomfortable, lead to various diseases, and even cause death in serious cases!

The radiation damage effect is a cumulative effect.

The degree of damage is related to the amount of radiation dose, that is, the radiation intensity and accumulation time.

The second is the single event event effect.

This refers to when a single high-energy particle enters a microelectronic device.

Events that lead to the flipping of logic functions of microelectronic devices or damage to devices, resulting in abnormalities or malfunctions of spacecraft.

If a manned spaceship suffers such damage.

Then this spacecraft may become a free-flying object that loses control!

One can imagine what will happen to the astronauts in the spaceship! !
This is why Mark reacted so violently.

If the starship is only damaged by the body, then at most it will lose some funds.

To put it seriously, it may be that América was temporarily surpassed by Daxia in the field of aerospace, and she lost a lot of face.

But if the astronauts themselves are harmed by high-energy particles.

Then he is likely to face all kinds of charges and go to jail!
...

In the spx live broadcast room.

At this moment, it has become a mess!

The sudden interruption of the live broadcast gave the netizens in the live broadcast room a bad feeling!

Although Mark paused the live broadcast very quickly.

However, netizens still knew from the intermittent communication before the live broadcast was interrupted that Starship might be in big trouble!
The reason given by spx is that the starship is passing through the radiation belt.

So the communication with the ground is not very stable.

"Who can tell me what's going on! Why is our starship running well, why did it suddenly lose contact!!"

"Didn't the spx official say it? It's the starship that is passing through the radiation belt, which will cause interference. It will be fine when it passes through the radiation belt!"

"Are the radiation protection measures of the starship so poor!? If you want to say that it passed through the radiation belt, it didn't mean that the Apollo of the last century did not pass through the radiation belt!? Why didn't Apollo encounter this kind of problem!?"

"Could it be that the radiation in the radiation belt has increased in recent years?!"

"Do you believe this? Anyway, I don't believe it!!"

"I think it must be the fault of Daxia!! They are afraid that our moon landing plan will succeed, so they sabotage it!!"

"Despicable Daxia people!"

"Laugh! We launched first, and you launched later. Why did we destroy it!?"

"There is a Daxia man here! Let's scold him together!!"

"Are you all out of your mind? I think spx and nas know what happened to the starship now! But why didn't they announce it and tell everyone!?"

"Who has no brains!? Didn't the spx official say it!? Now the starship is passing through a radiation belt, which is why the communication is unstable! Do you understand the black barrier? Don't speak if you have no common sense!!"

"It's the black barrier! You're dying of laughter!! Do you know the concept of the black barrier? It's the black barrier right here!! The radiation belt that the starship passes through is called the Van Allen radiation belt!! It's also called the high-energy particle radiation belt!!"

"Let me give you some popular science! What is the Van Allen radiation belt! The Van Allen radiation belt is...if it is damaged by high-energy particle flow...spacecraft...astronauts..."

"What!? It's so dangerous! If you say that, isn't the starship already paralyzed!? The astronauts on the starship..."

Seeing that someone explained what might happen to the starship, the netizens in the live broadcast room were immediately undecided!
The starship carries not only the hope of spx and the hope of nas.

At the same time, it also carries the hope of hundreds of millions of America's netizens.

But now they are all a little desperate.

If something happens to the starship, then América will not only lose the starship itself!

There are also dozens of astronauts of inestimable value!
When the América space shuttle had an accident, the whole Amelie was immersed in grief.

The number of astronauts on the starship now is several times higher than that of the space shuttle back then!
Such a big accident, no matter which country it is in, is an incalculable loss! !

...

outer space.

The starship has now left the Van Allen radiation belts.

However, contact with the ground has not yet been restored.

Inside the spaceship.

On the faces of the 35 astronauts, there was a sense of despair.

"Commander, many of the electronic devices inside the starship are now filled with high-energy charged particles!"

"At present, 70% of the electronic equipment has been damaged to varying degrees!"

"According to the spare parts storage on the starship, about 40% of the electronic equipment can be repaired!"

"There are still about 30% of electronic equipment that have fallen into functional obstacles due to limited remedial conditions and cannot be used normally!"

An engineer in charge of the electronic equipment on the starship said in frustration.

And an engineer who is mainly responsible for the power system is even more frustrated at this time.

"After passing through the radiation belt, more than half of the Raptor engines have stopped working!"

After he finished speaking.

The astronauts of the entire starship changed from mourning to despair almost instantly.

There are still more than [-] kilometers away from the moon.

Based on the current status of the starship.

It is not so difficult to cross the distance of more than [-] kilometers!
"How to do!?"

"Now we can't get in touch with the ground, how can we notify the ground to rescue us!?"

Said an astronaut in despair.

After everyone expressed their opinions, the commander made a decision.

"It is recommended that everyone divide the work and overhaul the equipment everywhere!"

"If you can replace spare parts, do so quickly!"

"It's useless to rely on anyone at this time! We can only save ourselves!!"

"Fortunately, we are not short of fuel. This is the only good news right now!"

After finishing speaking, everyone on the starship started to get busy.

Now the starship has fallen into a semi-lying state, and only less than half of the Raptor engines are still working.

Although under the control of the core computer, it is still moving towards the moon.

However, due to equipment damage, the speed has dropped to a horrible level.

And there is a major hidden danger.

Now there are more than half of the astronauts on the starship, and they feel that their bodies have been hurt to varying degrees!

Some have had adverse reactions!
The level of medical treatment on the starship is limited, and only some simple bandages and some minor operations can be performed.

The physical functions of these astronauts have been damaged to varying degrees.

If you don't pay close attention to the treatment, it is likely to cause irreversible huge damage!

...

On the other side, the live broadcast room of Daxia Aerospace.

The live broadcast continues.

The moon-by-month launch vehicle was originally launched in space less than 20 kilometers from the moon.

Calculate by its speed exceeding the second cosmic speed.

It will take no more than five hours at most, and the monthly launch vehicle will come to the lunar orbit.

On the big screen in the live broadcast room.

It is already possible to see clear and huge images of the moon through the camera on the moon-by-month launch vehicle.

"Friends in the audience, what you see now is the picture of the moon captured by our lunar landing spacecraft!"

"We can clearly see the craters and maria on the moon!"

"I don't know if you have any questions like this. The moon is deserted. What will we eat and drink after our space moon comes to the moon?"

"In addition, when our astronauts are on the moon, what kind of machinery will they use to mine lunar resources?"

"Let's invite Academician Yang to solve our doubts..."

After asking Su Che to answer some questions, the host seemed to want to let Su Che take a break, and started to ask Mr. Yang instead.

The questions she finds are generally popular and representative on the Internet.

In the past, the concept of going to the moon was still in check-in, and people were not so interested in this topic.

There is nothing to be curious about what to eat or drink.

Isn't it just to carry enough living supplies, anyway, only two or three astronauts go up at a time.

They can't consume too much supplies even if they are full.

But the moon landing in Daxia is different this time.

From the very beginning, Daxia stated that it is to establish a stable lunar base, and there are astronauts staying there for a long time!

The most important thing is that the number of astronauts who landed on the moon in Daxia this time is really too many!
The supplies that a spacecraft can carry at one time are limited.

Moreover, it is difficult to quickly replenish supplies on the moon in a short period of time, and every one consumed will be one less.

Dozens of people stay on the moon for a long time, and the amount of supplies consumed every day is a terrible figure.

So now many netizens are curious about how the astronauts of Daxia lived on the moon.

"Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing? It must be the supplies brought from the blue star! Otherwise, you still expect to be able to grow vegetables on the moon!?"

"What? You look down on our big summer vegetable growing group!? Vegetables can be grown in the space station, why can't we grow them in the moon base!?"

"Stop talking! Grow vegetables on the moon!? Where can I get organic matter!? Grow them in a vacuum!?"

"Have you never seen a vegetable greenhouse? You have to plant directly on the moon!? Cerebral palsy!!"

"Anyway, I don't believe that Daxia can stay on the moon for a long time! Not only because of food, but also because of the consumption of other materials. There is no way to replenish on the moon! You have to stay on the moon to build a base and mine lunar resources. Then there must be a large-scale mining machine!? How? You have solved the controllable nuclear fusion in Daxia? Do not consume chemical energy fuel!? "

"I have to say, what the upstairs said still makes sense!"

"Listening to your keyboard warriors pointing out the country here, it's better to listen to what Master Yang has to say!"

Chief Master Yang didn't know about the debate in the live broadcast room. Facing the host's question, he said with a smile:
"Our moon base has been built, and the astronauts' food and water can be solved very well!"

"As for the mechanical equipment used to mine lunar resources, we also have the means to continuously replenish fuel, without having to rely on Blue Star..."
