Chapter 124 Wenyue and the Starship

Chen Yuan was silent.

He did not do many actual rocket test flights.

"Rocket launch is inherently a matter of probability, because no one can guarantee that the rocket will be successful every time it is launched." Ying Ludong said.

Chen Yuan said: "But just like when we drive to work every day, there is no guarantee that there will be no car accidents."

"If that's all it takes, shouldn't we be driving?"

Ying Ludong didn't want to argue with Chen Yuan here. In short, his attitude was very firm: "You can't do it. If something happens to you, no one will be responsible."

"Am I unable to take responsibility for myself?" Chen Yuan thought this was a bit ridiculous.

Li Weimin couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said to the two men: "Lao Ying is worried about your safety out of good intentions. Anyone can do this moon landing mission, as long as they are us Chinese."

"I will contact the astronauts prepared by the National Space Administration right away."

Chen Yuan didn't agree with letting other astronauts land on the moon, not because he was dissatisfied, but because Ying Ludong was worried about his own life being in danger, didn't the lives of other astronauts also matter?

But he also knew that Ying Ludong was worried that he would have an accident, which would be a huge loss to the country.

but……

"I'm really sure."

Chen Yuan suddenly clapped his hands, and soon, two astronauts wearing space uniforms walked out of a room behind him.

The two astronauts, a man and a woman, always had polite smiles on their faces. Ying Ludong looked suspicious: "I'm afraid these two are bionic people."

Li Weimin didn't even realize that these two were bionic people, so he was a little surprised.

But it's normal for Ying Ludong to think this way. If Chen Yuan had prepared astronauts in advance, he wouldn't have made any detours with him here.

"Uncle, just believe me this time. With the help of bionic people, I will definitely not have any accidents. And for this moon landing mission, I have also prepared a newly developed space suit."

At Chen Yuan's instruction, the two astronauts put on exoskeleton spacesuits and walked out of the room.

Chen Yuan looked at the space suit with satisfaction and said: "This exoskeleton is more advanced than traditional space suits. It can not only protect at critical moments, but also meet the needs of normal walking on the moon. .”

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that this exoskeleton space suit is very light!

If a person is in space without a space suit, he will faint in about 15 seconds.

Oxygen expands in a vacuum, resulting in a survival time of no more than a minute.

Therefore, space suits are necessary in space, and they are also pressurized human spacecraft.

But wearing a conventional spacesuit is very complicated.

First, you need to wear underwear similar to diapers.

Then there’s a close-fitting, soft, breathable cotton coat.

There is no difference from Qiu Yi.

Then also put on a ventilated suit that contains liquids.

These liquids can be used to heat while working outside or moving.

The upper body is a hard fiberglass vest, and the rear has a hard shell backpack containing oxygen, radio equipment, and a series of life support systems.

In the center of the chest is a dashboard with monitors and control switches. The outer clothing of the arms is connected to the hard torso, allowing for a wider range of flexible movement.

Pressurized gloves adapted to the astronaut's body, effectively ensuring flexible finger movement and integrated heaters.

As for the lower part of the body, astronaut pants need to be worn. The weight of the entire garment is approximately 100~20kg.

Because it is the first weightless environment in space, this weight is not a big burden.

However, spacesuits greatly restrict astronauts' activities, and their cumbersome wearing is also extremely inconvenient.

If you want to conduct scientific research activities in space for a long time, there are undoubtedly very big drawbacks.

The aerospace exoskeleton developed by Chen Yuan has the life support system of a space suit, but also has the convenience that a space suit does not have.

This is why Chen Yuan wants to take the initiative to complete the manned moon landing: "I want to personally test and experience this aerospace exoskeleton, and sooner or later I will go up to colonize and build the moon. Why not go up now in the morning and evening?" "

There was sincerity in Chen Yuan's eyes. Ying Ludong was dumbfounded and was sorting out his words. He didn't want to disappoint Chen Yuan either.

As if he had made a compromise, Ying Ludong sighed, nodded and said: "Well, since you have made your decision, there is no reason for me to stop you. No matter what, safety must come first. "

"Don't worry," Chen Yuan looked back at the escape tower at the top of the Wenyue. "Even if something unexpected happens during the launch of the rocket, the escape tower can still take us away in advance."

The escape tower mentioned by Chen Yuan is something like a lightning rod on the rocket.

Generally, escape towers only appear on manned rockets. When the rocket is launched to a certain distance, if something goes wrong, the escape tower will act like an ejection seat and lead the astronauts to escape in an emergency away from the rocket that explodes in their mouths.

The time has come to the last half hour of the launch of Wenyue.

Chen Yuan had already put on an aerospace exoskeleton and sat in the cab of the Xuannv aerospace fighter with two androids.

The operation console that seems complicated to ordinary people is clear to Chen Yuan.

Precisely because he is the developer of the Xuannv fighter, no one knows how to control the Xuannv fighter better than him.

Tourists watching this space mission from the sidelines are increasingly looking forward to the moment when the rocket is launched.

This is the first manned landing on the moon by a major country, which can be said to be truly unprecedented.

At this time, on the other side of the ocean, Musk is also preparing to launch a starship.

"All departments are ready, and the official launch will take place in thirty minutes." an aerospace expert reported to Musk.

Musk asked: "Have our astronauts gone up?"

"Wearing spacesuits." The expert nodded and took out a tablet, which showed three white astronauts putting on spacesuits indoors with the help of staff.

At this time, Musk turned his attention to the crowded crowd in the distance. There were also many federal tourists gathering at the launch site of the Space Exploration Technology Company.

However, compared to the rocket launch of Xingyao Space, Musk is obviously more concerned here.

Many people on the Internet are broadcasting related videos.

The launch of Xingyao Space has not attracted much attention from the outside world.

Musk also feels much more relaxed in this way: "Now the outside world is talking about our starships. It seems that people are more willing to believe that the Federation can create miracles."

At this time, reporters from the Federal News were also interviewing astronauts who were about to enter the space cabin.

She happily put the microphone to the mouth of one of the white people: "Mr. John, do you feel a lot of pressure about this moon landing mission, and do you think it is possible for Chinese astronauts to go to the moon with you? Moon?"
