The four astronauts in the space station were waiting for barrage(弹幕: bullet screen) feedback, but who would have thought that after eating the Zhajiang noodles(炸酱面: noodles with savory soybean paste), the barrage surprisingly went empty.

Even the foreign language barrages were the same, not knowing if they understood what was being said.

For a moment, the four astronauts didn't know what was going on, so they could only continue eating the noodles and making comments as "passengers". Li Yuling signaled Du Kangsheng to send a text message to ask the ground command center.

After confirming that it was not a network lag or a direct network disconnection, they continued the demonstration.

Soon the noodles were finished, but one bowl of noodles was definitely not enough, because space food generally has small portions, and several things need to be eaten in one meal to ensure a certain period of "satiety" and nutritional balance.

So the "passengers" took out shrimp fried eggs, stir-fried green vegetables, multigrain biscuits, pickled radish, seaweed egg drop soup, and small snacks like crab roe broad beans and crispy heart chocolate, as well as an apple from the fruit bag.

These things are actually similar to what Tianxia(天夏: fictional name of a country) astronauts have been eating in recent years, except that they basically don't use the compression, dehydration, freeze-drying and other preservation methods commonly used in space food, and they look almost like the things sold in ground supermarkets.

At most, the ingredients are exquisite, after all, they are to be sent to the space station.

After showing one package, the other three also took out one package each to eat, after all, they were also hungry.

And these three packages of food have different types inside, but they all look more restored, fluffy, and appetizing.

At this time, the barrage also came back.

"Awesome, besides this word, I don't know what to say, Pathfinder(领航者: leading company) is awesome!"

"I have to say, having an orbital shuttle means you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to consider the size of the space for sending supplies, and the restaurant in the commercial space station is luxurious, with all kinds of high-tech gadgets."

"I don't feel that the restaurant is very luxurious, it's just that we are used to seeing the 'cluttered' design of the scientific research space station. At first glance, this commercial design is not very used to it. In fact, the restaurant of the Starry Sky Inn is just a modern and simple style decoration, which looks clean and bright."

"Actually, I think these new space meals are very good, especially that bowl of Zhajiang noodles(炸酱面: noodles with savory soybean paste). The Zhajiang noodles(炸酱面: noodles with savory soybean paste) in my hand are not fragrant anymore. You can imagine that when astronauts who work in space for a long time get this bowl of Zhajiang noodles(炸酱面: noodles with savory soybean paste) instead of the 'pancake' in a plastic bag, they should be very moved."

"There is one thing to say, indeed, the working environment of astronauts is too harsh. The weightless environment affects their sense of taste, digestion and absorption capacity, tortures their spirit and body, and they have to work and live in a small space every day. Delicious and diverse foods are helpful for their mood regulation, but the bagged food, the cake compressed into a pancake, the biscuits that never shed crumbs, and the water bag with buckles are constantly reminding them of the environment they are in, which is a very contradictory thing."

"You are right, if they can also eat this bowl of noodles, fluffy cakes like freshly baked ones, and drink tea with a cup, even if it is also with a buckle straw, this state of tableware and food similar to that on Earth should be important for maintaining their physical and mental health."

"I suggest that the other two space stations also use this kind of tableware, or even directly purchase services from Pathfinder(领航者: leading company) company."

"I suggest that the three space stations directly merge and assemble, human beings should be united, and it is a bit too wasteful for the three space stations to operate independently."

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Ping, the stationmaster of Tiangong(天宫: name of space station) Space Station. We have cooperated with Pathfinder(领航者: leading company) many times. We are also using this kind of packaging now. I will take a video next time to share with you~".

"My God, there is certification, it's a real person, the front row expresses respect, we are waiting to watch the video, hehe!"

"Really? Let me see, wow... I'm shocked, it's really Stationmaster Wang Ping, Stationmaster Wang Ping is my goddess!!"

That sentence was indeed said by Wang Ping. Now high-speed internet is also standard for space stations, and watching a live broadcast is of course a piece of cake.

And it is still watching the on-orbit live broadcast of another space station, which is naturally very important for other space stations.

Not only the people in Tiangong(天宫: name of space station) Space Station are watching the live broadcast, but also the people in the International Space Station are watching.

It's just that unlike the astronauts in Tiangong(天宫: name of space station) Space Station who have already used the same tableware and eaten the same food, the astronauts in the International Space Station are sour.

And can't say it.

Do you think I would say envy.jpg

All objects in space lose their weight and become free to fly around, like fine dust in the air.

In this way, astronauts cannot take food at any time and chew easily like on Earth, otherwise it will be life-threatening because the food cannot be swallowed and gets stuck in the middle of the esophagus.

This is what scientists knew before astronauts entered space.

Therefore, while developing spacecraft, scientists also studied and manufactured space food.

After many space practices, scientists have found that space food requires rich nutrition, hygiene, and convenient eating.

And these "practices" all started from "toothpaste".

The first generation of space food is certainly not real toothpaste, although toothpaste is something that enters the mouth, and people have no problem eating a little when brushing their teeth, but that thing is really not suitable for eating.

The "toothpaste" mentioned here is just because the state of the food is too similar to toothpaste.

The initial space food was only to solve the "food and clothing problem" of astronauts because human understanding of space was limited and technology was also limited.

At that time, the food was mashed into a paste, such as beef paste, apple paste, vegetable puree and meat and vegetable mixed puree, etc. They were pressed into aluminum toothpaste shells, and when eating, they were squeezed into the mouth like squeezing toothpaste.

They have the characteristics of the earliest space food, that is, small size, easy to carry and transport, and easy to eat.

Even chewing is not necessary, and the paste made by the machine is much more detailed than what they chew themselves.

With the passage of time and the advancement of technology, toothpaste products have been upgraded, and they have been made into bite-sized compressed foods.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ books ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

This is the second generation of space food.

The ultimate obstacle to eating in space is the lack of gravity, so food cannot have debris. Once debris is eaten, it will float in the air.

If an astronaut accidentally inhales debris into the lungs, it is no joke. With the process and bumps of returning to the ground from space, death is not far away.

Therefore, it is very necessary to make small food pieces that can be swallowed in one bite by the astronauts and ensure that no debris is generated due to tooth bites.

At this time, there is one thing to say, teeth chewing things will produce a sense of happiness, at least better than squeezing into the mouth, and then licking it with the tongue and swallowing it with the "toothpaste".

In the third generation of space food, dehydration and rehydration technology is used.

They are mainly some freeze-dried foods, such as rice, noodles and other staple foods and various dishes, fruits and vegetables, which can be eaten by adding water.

Since there is no gravity in space, in order to prevent water from scattering, water must be directly added to the food packaging bag for squeezing. After the water and food are fully absorbed, it will become a sticky mass, and then you can eat it.

However, this paste is just to prevent food from floating into a piece, which is different from the initial paste.

This kind of food is closer to ordinary meals on the ground. The paste has a grainy texture of food, like normal food with more sauce, which can satisfy the taste and taste of astronauts.

In the fourth generation of space food, which is the mainstream of space food before Pathfinder(领航者: leading company) got involved in space food, they are already very good.

Because the technology is advanced enough, space stations can use refrigerators and heating devices, so heat-stable food and frozen and refrigerated food have appeared.

The former is soft-packed and hard-packed canned food that has been heated and sterilized and can be stored for a long time and can be eaten directly.

The latter is frozen on the ground and brought into space, and can be eaten after melting.

Therefore, in addition to staple foods, astronauts can also eat fresh vegetables, fruits, and heated fresh soups.

Also, because astronauts from different countries have their own eating habits, there are many types of fourth-generation space food.

Of course, now that Pathfinder(领航者: leading company) is involved in the space video field, they are already considered a generation of products.

That is, raw material-level foods such as fruits and vegetables do not count as a generation difference, after all, they are the same transportation method.

There is no shrinking machine in this world. Apples cannot be compressed. If they are forcibly compressed, they are probably not fresh food, and they will not be expected by astronauts.

Saying that these new space foods are a new generation is not because the orbital shuttle can do whatever it wants, at least not all thanks to the orbital shuttle, the food does use new technologies.
