Chapter 289 Space Omelette
In fact, the 100-meter-diameter rotational simulation gravity compartment is not large. Not only does the generated simulated gravity have smaller, but it also has many various restrictions.
Just like the astronaut who felt a little dizzy, maybe... it's not an illusion.
After all, the gravity simulated by this rotation is not real gravity, but centrifugal force.
There is another problem with this simulated "gravity", that is, the simulated "gravity" of different radii is different.
The diameter of the simulated gravity compartment is 100 meters, so the radius is 50 meters, and the speed at the farthest distance from the center of the circle is the fastest, so the simulated gravity is also the largest, which is 0.4g.
However, this data was measured outside the bulkhead. It was separated by a few dozen centimeters of internal bulkhead, which is the "floor", and the simulated gravity was slightly worse.
As the radius is smaller, the simulated gravity becomes smaller. When it reaches the rotating central axis cabin, the "gravity" there is no difference from the original space cabin, almost zero.
The astronaut is less than 2 meters tall and the "floor" thickness composed of bulkheads, so the gravity felt by the astronaut's feet is about 49 meters, while the gravity felt by the head is about 27 meters.
The gravity of these two places is different, and it is normal for the astronauts to feel a little dizzy.
With a total radius of about 50 meters, a person's height can account for about one-twenty-seventh of the length, so how could it not affect it?
However, because the simulated gravity is 0.4g, there is not much in total, the difference between the two sides is not too big. When you get used to it... you will feel dizzy and just need to happen when nothing happens.
There is no way, this thing cannot be eliminated, unless you create a rotating simulation cabin with a huge radius, such as the radius being expanded by 10 times to reach 500 meters.
Only by building a one-kilometer-diameter rotational simulation device to press the proportion of a person's height inside to a very small part, this impact will be minimal.
And he can also obtain simulated gravity similar to that of the earth, so humans basically don’t feel anything unusual, just like going home.
Now, it's time to use it.
Some gravity is better than nothing.
So with simulated gravity, what is the first thing humans need to do?
At such a time of great historical significance, I will definitely do something big, right?
That's right, you have to do it...farm!
If you don’t have food, what should you do in the restaurant cabin?
This restaurant is not only a restaurant, it also includes a cooking stove, and the venue is quite large, and the tables, chairs and benches are placed in a unit canteen.
The live broadcast footage at the beginning was also very bad, only using the camera next to the channel, so the audience had no idea about the size here, but when practical technology cut the lens to the entire restaurant, the big scene really shocked everyone.
"Good guy, who moved the unit canteen to space?"
"It's much better than the cafeteria of our unit."
"It's not as good as our canteen, the floor of our canteen is flat [funny]."
"Is this open kitchen real? Will astronauts have to cook in the sky in the future?"
"Yes, have you never watched the previous CG demo video?"
"I wonder what humans did for the first time cooking seriously in space?"
"Looking forward, looking forward!"
Actually... I didn't do anything, I just fry an egg.
The rest are ready-made food, just heat it or add some water.
After all, they were just here, and they were all professional astronauts, and there were no super chefs.
It is not that easy to cook in 0.4g of simulated gravity, but it is still a fully confined space.
So they just started the induction cooker and fume collection system and then fry a few eggs in a pan.
Don’t think about using a stove with fire, as the induction cooker is now at its limit.
But, although it’s just fried eggs for each person, the taste of just being served... is so beautiful!
They finished their dreams, cleaned up and left, and then formal astronauts would arrive.
However, the following came not just three astronauts, but directly expanded to 20.
The astronauts resident on the Fanxing Space Station will officially exceed the number of resident astronauts on the International Space Station.
In fact, with the construction of the Fanxing Space Station, the number of three astronauts was indeed small, so some experimental tasks could only run automatically and have relatively low efficiency.
Only when changing shifts can you drive more test equipment, but you are not satisfied with it.
Later, the "Tianmen" cabin was installed again, and a lot of the experiment cabinet was added, which made it even more unsatisfactory to open.
If it is expanded to 20 people, all experimental equipment should be able to be turned on.
After all, not only the core compartment, but also the experimental compartment and Tianmen Comprehensive compartment have experimental cabinets, and the newly added rotational simulation gravity compartment are not all living compartments, but also experimental cabinets.
A gravity-free and radiation-free environment can experiment with some things, and simulating some gravity-free and radiation-free environment can verify other things.
Such a big new toy has been launched, and the Fanxing Space Administration has only made very few displays, so the audience is certainly not happy.
Not only are they unhappy, but those who only learn about the news after the live broadcast ends are unhappy.
After all, others watched the live broadcast, but they didn’t even watch the live broadcast, so they could only look for the recording broadcast online.
The hottest cooperation between Fanxing Space Administration and Practical Technology Aerospace has been to simulate gravity cabins. Many people have recorded live broadcasts and uploaded them to various platforms.
Those people were shocked after watching it. This was so awesome. The plot in the science fiction movie actually came true!
However, the audience was not satisfied with the previous display, so they asked for something more.
Some more?
no problem!
It was June, and the second mass-produced wooden kite-grade aerospace plane was launched.
This wooden kite-level space plane was ordered by the Fanxing Space Administration. After two unmanned test flights, it was delivered.
After delivery, he was immediately given a heavy task. He flew three times within a week and sent 20 astronauts into the latest version of the space station.
Fortunately, Fanxing Space Administration has expanded its astronaut team before. Otherwise, if the astronauts who were recuperating and training were removed, they would not be able to make up 20 people in a single mission!
Then soon, the Space Administration released a new video.
Now, those audiences can be satisfied.
The astronauts in the video are divided into two teams, one in the core cabin and the other in the simulated gravity cabin, which is a comparison.
They experienced running, exercise, diet, work, rest, toilet and other items under 0.4g gravity. There are four simulated gravity cabins, each cabin has different functions, rest, exercise, and work.
The new astronauts who entered space for the first time were more shocked, but the "old space" who have been to space were a little filled with tears.
Speaking of crying, they would try their best to stop themselves from crying in the Fanxing Space Station, which was completely weightless.
Because in the absence of gravity, the tears you shed do not go down. They will only gather around your eyes, and the more you gather, it will eventually turn into a water ball.
If you don't suck the tears away with the absorbent cotton in time, your eyes may be damaged.
Now you can cry, it’s a happy cry, because it’s so good to experience gravity again in space.
Of course, they are all strictly trained and will not really cry, nor will they take it lightly because of gravity here. When their eyes are wet, they immediately suck the tears away with a water-absorbing sponge and then continue to do the test.
