[Chapter 1780 Life in Space]
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the god-level farm!
The people sent by several sects to explore the moon this time are all elites of their respective sects. These people’s psychological quality is no worse than those of the astronauts, so although they are in the deep space, everyone does not feel too nervous. .
In the state of weightlessness, there is no distinction between upper and lower. Chen Xuan was at the door of the cockpit at this time. The angle between his body and Xia Ruofei Ling Qingxue was just vertical. He looked at Xia Ruofei from the door of the cabin. He said with a smile: “Everyone can’t wait, let’s go quickly!”
“Okay!” Xia Ruofei laughed and said, “Everyone sit down!”
While speaking, Xia Ruofei’s mental power has been probed out, Remotely control the Obsidian flying boat, leave the 400-kilometer orbit, and continue to fly towards a higher orbit.
The obsidian flying boat started, and the five traction ropes connecting the dragon spacecraft assembly were also slowly stretched.
Xia Ruofei and others in the spaceship felt that the spaceship shook slightly, and then the spaceship began to shift to a higher orbit under the traction of the Obsidian flying boat.
Under the intentional control of Xia Ruofei, the acceleration process of Obsidian Flying Boat is relatively gentle, so the force of the traction rope is not large.
In the process of human exploration of the moon in the history of mankind, whether it is manned landing on the moon or unmanned exploration, the process of going to the moon is basically the same. The higher it comes, the larger the circle will naturally be, and eventually it will enter the Earth-Moon transfer orbit.
Then it will slow down and enter the lunar orbit.
The process of the Obsidian flying boat going to the moon is similar, but because the earth’s gravity has no effect on the obsidian flying boat, the process of raising the orbit height is faster, and the curve is naturally steeper.
Of course, in terms of time, it took the Obsidian flying boat to go to the moon longer than any lunar exploration in human history.
The reason is also very simple, just two words – speed.
Using rockets to send probes or astronauts to the moon is a process of continuous acceleration. In order to enter the low-Earth orbit of the Apollo 11 manned lunar landing mission, the rocket has already accelerated to 7.67 kilometers per second, and entered the earth. When the moon transferred its orbit, the speed reached 10.5 kilometers per second.
So it took Apollo 11 three or four days to send astronauts to Earth.
Although the flying speed of the Obsidian Flying Boat is much faster than that of ordinary civil aviation aircraft, it is still a lot worse than the high-thrust rocket.
Its advantage is that the array method has already offset the influence of gravity, so it does not need extremely fast speed to get rid of the earth’s gravity, and it can even fly directly to the moon at a constant speed.
But in any case,
the straight-line distance of about 300,000 kilometers still has to be flown through, so the time will naturally be longer.
After the obsidian flying boat was launched, all the expedition members in the dragon spacecraft had to do was to wait patiently.
Everyone has nothing to do in the cabin. Many people choose to fix themselves on the bulkhead, and then take out the spirit crystal to practice.
Although Xia Ruofei needs to control the Obsidian Flying Boat, most of the time, he only needs to separate a trace of mental power to monitor the flight status, because the Obsidian Flying Boat only needs to keep flying away from the earth at a constant speed.
In fact, starting from the 400-kilometer orbit, the Obsidian flying boat needs to fly for more than ten days at the current speed to reach the traditional earth-moon transfer orbit, which is about 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers away from the moon.
In traditional spaceflight, the farther away you are from the earth, the smaller the effect of the earth’s gravitational force. When it is about 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers away from the moon, the moon’s gravitational force dominates, and the spacecraft will be captured by the moon’s gravity, thus becoming a circle. The moon flies, and then continuously adjusts, and finally stably orbits the moon in preparation for the next lunar landing.
The formation of the Obsidian flying boat ensures that the flying boat will not be affected by gravity, so the process of going to the moon is not that complicated, but the route is basically the same.
That is to say, in the past ten days, the Obsidian Flying Boat will be pulling the Dragon spacecraft assembly to fly more than 200,000 kilometers.
This process is of course very tedious.
Moreover, there is nothing in space, and there is no need to choose a flight route, so it is very simple to control.
Xia Ruofei only needs to let the flying boat keep flying at this speed after the Obsidian flying boat accelerates to the limit speed. It is a bit similar to the “cruising speed” of a car, and it is even simpler, because even the steering wheel does not need to be controlled.
Of course, for safety reasons, it is still necessary to monitor the flight status throughout the process.
In fact, although the Dragon spacecraft has been reduced a lot, the technology is still very advanced.
After the study and practice some time ago, everyone is very familiar with the basic control of the spacecraft, so everyone has arranged the duty schedule in advance. When the time comes, the two will be on duty in the cockpit and monitor the flight status throughout the whole process.
And Xia Ruofei also needs to take into account the situation of the obsidian flying boat, and he must always separate a small ray of spiritual power.
Of course, for the current Xia Ruofei, this will not be very tiring, and he can even be distracted to do other things.
In the initial stage of the flight, considering that the distance to the earth is relatively close, and there are various satellites, space stations, and experimental cabins from various countries in orbit, the situation is relatively more complicated than the latter, so Xia Ruofei decided to be on duty on the first day and partnered with him. Of course it was Ling Qingxue.
The spaceship was very quiet. Everyone in the cabin behind them was practicing. In the cockpit, there was only the dim light of the display screen and the dull sound from the cooling fan.
Xia Ruofei said to Ling Qingxue: “Qingxue, you can sleep for a while! Or just practice for a while, it’s too boring to stay like this!”
Ling Qingxue has been leaning sideways in front of the oval porthole of the spaceship, and when she heard Xia Ruofei’s words, she didn’t He got up and said without looking back: “I don’t want to sleep yet! The scenery outside is so beautiful!”
Xia Ruofei turned his head and looked out of the porthole. From this angle, they could see the huge outline of the earth.
The blue earth is like a gem. Although the whole picture of the earth cannot be seen yet, it gives people a stronger sense of shock.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: “Take a break first! You will see similar scenery in the next ten days, and no matter how beautiful it is, it will soon cause aesthetic fatigue!”
“I know!” Ling Qingxue said, “But I I just can’t help wanting to see it!”
Then, Ling Qingxue said with emotion: “I never even dreamed that I would one day enter space and look back at the homeland that nurtured human beings… Ruo Fei, after meeting you , my life is really wonderful…”
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, “The most wonderful thing is always in the future! Where is this going!”
After speaking, Xia Ruofei stretched and said: “Qing Xue, I’ll be squinting for a while, you can call me if you need anything!”
“Yeah! Go to sleep!” Ling Qingxue said.
Xia Ruofei put his hands in his pockets and closed his eyes.
In this weightless environment, sleeping position doesn’t matter, even upside down.
Of course, in a weightless environment, there is no distinction between upper and lower, so there is no so-called handstand, it is all relative.
On the contrary, it is best to fix the hands on the body, which is also mentioned in the spacecraft operation manual.
The reason is very simple, because people are in a state of unconsciousness after falling asleep, and in a weightless environment, the hands will naturally float.
Presumably when a person wakes up and sees his hands floating in front of him like a zombie, he will definitely be shocked.
In fact, in a weightless environment, people lose the sense of orientation up and down, and the body fluids in the body will be redistributed – this is also the reason why many astronauts have swollen faces in space – so it is actually better than on the ground. The difference is quite big, especially for those who enter space for the first time, they will feel uncomfortable and not easy to fall asleep.
However, for the practitioners like Xia Ruofei, this little discomfort is nothing, and it is easy to overcome.
So Xia Ruofei soon fell asleep.
He opened his eyes after a few hours of sleep, and subconsciously turned his head and glanced.
Xia Ruofei found that Ling Qingxue by his side was still not sleepy. He couldn’t help rubbing his eyes and said, “Qingxue, are you really not tired?”
“Not sleepy at all!” Ling Qingxue turned her head and smiled sweetly, “You wake up. Hey? How did
you sleep?”
“Very good!” Xia Ruofei said, “I don’t think it’s different from the ground, I fell asleep when I lay down…”
After speaking, Xia Ruofei raised his hand to look at his watch and said: ” It’s five o’clock in the morning, China time! Qingxue, are you hungry? Have something to eat?”
Ling Qingxue thought about it and said, “Okay! It’s time for breakfast!”
Xia Ruofei unlocked the security Take me and said, “Wait for me for a while! I’ll take a shower, and then let’s eat together!”
The simplest thing on the ground, brushing your teeth and washing your face, will become difficult in space, mainly because in a weightless environment, liquids are It is floating in the form of a sphere, and if it splashes around, it is easy to cause dangers such as short circuits.
The same is true for eating. Early space food was made into a paste and packed in a container similar to toothpaste. The process of eating was to squeeze the “toothpaste” into the mouth.
Although it has improved later, it is also a very troublesome thing in general.
But for practitioners, it is relatively simple.
As long as the liquid is bound with mental power, they will be obedient and will not run around.
Xia Ruofei came to a special cabin. This small cabin is equivalent to a “men’s bathroom”. Washing and going to the toilet are all done in this cabin.
There are two such small cabins, one at each end of the spacecraft assembly, and the other is naturally the “women’s bathroom”.
He directly took out a small bucket of Lingtan water from the spiritual map space. After the bucket of water was taken out, it immediately turned into a trembling water mass and floated.
However, under the shackles of Xia Ruofei’s mental power, this large water group did not get out of control, and just stayed in the air obediently.
Xia Ruofei opened his mouth and sucked, and a mouthful of water was sucked into his mouth. Then he gurgled his mouth, and then spit out the water directly. The water that had been rinsed was also bound by spiritual force and floated aside.
Then, Xia Ruofei used an ordinary toothbrush, squeezed a little toothpaste, and started brushing his teeth directly.
In the process of brushing his teeth, some foam will inevitably splash out, but all of them are bound by his mental power, and not a trace escapes everywhere.
The process of brushing his teeth is basically the same as on the ground.
The only difference is that after brushing your teeth, there is an extra cloud of waste water.
Xia Ruofei returned the unused Lingtan water into the space, and then took out a sealed bag, put the waste water in it, locked it, and threw it into the Lingtu space.
Their practitioners use spaceships, and they have a big advantage compared to ordinary people, that is, almost no garbage is produced inside the spaceship – the generated garbage can be directly sealed and put into the storage magic weapon.
No garbage will be generated, so naturally there is no need for a device to deal with garbage and waste, and there is no need to calculate the load of these garbage, which reduces a lot of burden on the spacecraft.
After brushing his teeth, Xia Ruofei started to wash his face.
Washing his face was even easier. He directly controlled it with mental power, dipped water in the spiritual map space, twisted the towel, then took out the towel and washed his face directly.
In the same way, a small amount of water droplets that escaped can be directly bound with mental power and put back into the spiritual map space.
Xia Ruofei finished washing up, then pulled some handrail devices inside the spaceship, and fluttered back to the cockpit.
He is now more and more proficient at this kind of weightless movement.
“Go wash your face too!” Xia Ruofei said with a smile, “I’ll just watch it here!”
Ling Qingxue nodded, got up and stretched, then left the cockpit and went to the “women’s bathroom” at the back. “Go wash up.
When Ling Qingxue came back, Xia Ruofei took out the food from the spiritual map space.
After all, this is in space, so naturally it can’t be the same as the ground. It’s relatively simple to fry, fry, and fry.
For breakfast today, Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue chose simple sandwiches and milk.
Although a lot of equipment was reduced in the spacecraft, the microwave oven was still retained. Xia Ruofei used the microwave to heat up the sandwiches, and then had breakfast with Ling Qingxue.
The milk is also ordinary boxed pure milk. Under the condition of weightlessness, it is naturally impossible to directly suck it. Because there is no atmospheric pressure outside, no matter how you suck it, you can’t suck it up. However, the two of them still use a straw, but they use mental power to suck it up. The milk is pressed into the straw.
Eating sandwiches naturally can’t avoid the production of some food residues, but with Xia Ruofei there, Ling Qingxue doesn’t need to worry so much at all, just enjoy it, and the food residues will naturally be collected by Xia Ruofei’s mental power and put into a sealed bag.
After the two finished breakfast, they brushed their teeth again “luxuriously”.
Then they were on duty in the cockpit for more than two hours, and Yang Liu brought Yu Xiner to the cockpit—the two of them should be on duty in the cockpit for the next day.
