This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 222 What should I do if the cost is too high?
The live broadcast is over.

Practical Technology did not allow netizens to see what the cargo carried in the wooden kite was, so after the docking was confirmed and the astronauts greeted the netizens, they cut the live broadcast.

Practical Technology Aerospace Company stated that the live broadcast has come to an end. The Wooden Kite will dock with the space station for a few days, then wander around in orbit for a few more times, and will start the live broadcast again when it returns to Earth.

Although netizens were sorry, there was nothing they could do. Moreover, Practical Technology Aerospace Company immediately released an ultra-high-definition video of the live broadcast, and netizens hurried to watch the video to find out the details.

And the fun in the Starry Space Station has just begun.

The astronauts did not rush to get all the packages back to the space station. Instead, they followed the instructions and took the designated packages back to the space station. When they opened the package, they found a new type of cabin suit inside.

"Did you see the boots? They are magnetic boots. There are electromagnetic adsorption devices inside, and they are controlled by an intelligent module. They have also taken special protective measures so that they will not interfere with the equipment of the space station..."

"The new overalls can be connected to the boots. It has a flexible exoskeleton inside, which can provide a counter-force, slightly fix your body shape, and ensure that you will not sway..."

This set is the newest product of Practical Technology and is also specially designed for space venues.

There is no gravity in space, which has a great impact on the work and life of astronauts.

It is convenient for them to move around in the space station, just fly over wherever they want to go, but when they stop to work, troubles arise.

Since there is no gravity, they are floating all the time, even though there are plenty of metal and strap restraints in the cabin that allow them to grab or hold their feet, but they will still float.

For example, when contacting the earth, the astronauts hooked the stopper with their feet at the beginning and stood straight, but it crooked after a while.

Even one of them floated up without paying attention.

At this time, you are communicating with the ground, and you floated directly out of the camera, so why communicate?
We can only wait for the astronauts to come back before continuing the communication.

Well now, the electromagnetic boots allow the astronauts to "stand" firmly on the "floor" of the space station, without extra effort to hook the stopper.

The new work clothes can provide assistance, but this is not an "expansion" assistance like a powered exoskeleton, but an assistance to "constrain" the body.

This constraint is not strong, but it can ensure that astronauts stand upright and sit upright.

Although these two devices cannot allow astronauts to experience the feeling of returning to the earth, they can try their best to make their work and life feel like returning to the earth.

And it’s not very good to go back to the earth, because the magnetic boots can be disconnected at any time to eliminate the magnetic force, and they can still fly over when going to other places.

If there is gravity, you can only walk over honestly.

Of course, it is better to have gravity, because after gravity, most of the astronauts' illnesses will disappear, and the work and life in space will be much more convenient.

It's just that there is no artificial gravity environment now, so we can only wear magnetic boots and anti-power work clothes first.

After listening to Li Future's introduction, the astronauts quickly put on the new equipment, and after trying it, it turned out to be much better.

Although there is no distinction between upper and lower in space, there is still a distinction between "up and down" in the starry space station.

For example, all kinds of text signs are facing in one direction. It is easy to determine that the direction above the text is the "ceiling" and the direction below the text is the "floor".

At the same time, the display of each screen and the direction of the text are also the same. Training equipment such as treadmills and bicycles are also fixed on the "floor". Even the sleeping cabin has beds, walls, windows and ceilings.

All kinds of instructions can easily allow the astronauts to distinguish the direction.

Although there is no direction in space, astronauts must always be clear about it, which is very important for their health and working and living conditions.

Therefore, the Starry Space Station chose this obvious layout method in order to provide astronauts with a clear sense of direction.

As for this arrangement, its "floor" is different from the wall full of instruments and equipment. Except for the raised metal and strap stoppers, it can be said to be flat.

Under the "floor" is the storage compartment. When the floor is opened, there are all kinds of parcels inside, so you won't step on a display screen while walking.

The astronauts tried it out and found that the new equipment was really useful. It really stood up and sat down. After stopping in one place, it would no longer be swaying like before.

Whether it is standing to make a report, or sitting to control the mechanical arm outside, there is no need to be distracted and tense, but you can do the task wholeheartedly.

And wearing them can still walk properly in the space station.

It's just that compared to the ground, although there is resistance brought by the counter-force, it is still a little fluttering, but it is already very good for astronauts who are floating every day.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it is better to move the venue or float, because there are many stoppers on the ground, and you cannot walk forward normally when you walk, so you have to use that somewhat contrived posture of raising your legs to move forward.

And the cabin is not particularly spacious, there is a dining table blocking the way, and there are equipment beside it, even when someone is running on the treadmill, the corridor of the rest area will be blocked, and there can only be floated from above.

The other packages are just average, that is, some seasonal fruits, and some more advanced electronic products.

Due to the limited capacity of the rocket, although the astronauts have more menus, they can't bring too much seasonal fruit, so they are easy-to-storage apples every time, and the quantity can't be eaten openly.

Therefore, they are reluctant to eat and need to plan their meals because they have to wait until the next replenishment time.

But the fragrance of apples is really special in the space station, so the astronauts put them in the refrigerator. Sometimes when they go to get other food, the fragrance of apples always floats all over the space station.

That feeling... both refreshing and helpless.

So Li Future put a lot of fruit in this cargo, enough for the astronauts to eat every day.

By the next month, the aerospace plane will fly three times a month, and each time it will dock with the space station and transport some supplies by the way.

Since this is the first flight, just in case, the value of the loaded goods is "not high", and more good things will be delivered later.

But... the cost of this first flight is so high that the company manager's teeth hurt when he saw it.

So at the meeting after the successful first flight, the company manager talked about it.

"Mr. Li, the cost of the Wooden Yuan's first flight is too high, especially the cost of filling it with liquid metal hydrogen fuel."

"If we don't have a way to reduce fuel costs, then the Wooden Kite will not be able to open up a new situation as we imagined before."

"Although it is indeed convenient and powerful, the cost is too high, even more expensive than traditional rockets, especially compared to the opposite Eagle Nine..."
