Super technology leader

"Director Tang, this is..."

Someone at the ground control center's live feed was also stunned, clearly seeing a stark difference from the spacesuits they were used to.

It wasn't just different compared to existing spacesuits; even the spacesuits astronauts used for training in the simulated space environment were vastly different from this one.

Of course, compared to the complex wrinkles and bulkiness of traditional spacesuits with their fabric coverings, the hard-shell spacesuit in the video looked more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing, but it was ultimately for astronauts, and usability was paramount.

Moreover, spacesuits aren't like ordinary clothes that you can just put on. Their use and wear require rigorous training, and the training period cannot be short.

Even if this new spacesuit is good, is it really okay to let astronauts use it on the moon without any prior training?

You don't even know if this spacesuit is good or not.

At this point, some people were already dissatisfied with Navigator.

The first lunar landing by Tianxia people should not have involved private companies. Private companies always want to innovate and stand out, which can easily derail a proper mission.

This was the view of many conservative aerospace professionals.

Navigator had played a significant role before, so they tolerated it. But now that the astronauts were already flying to the moon, this sudden development made them furious.

"It's simply nonsense!"

Tang Chao didn't care about such criticisms; he never argued with others.

He always presented facts and reasoned logically, and his facts and reasoning were usually very persuasive.

As for whether those people would be dealt with by others after he finished reasoning, he didn't care either.

They weren't in the same system and couldn't interfere with him, and since he communicated directly with the highest levels, there was even less to worry about.

The Benyue spacecraft was entirely Navigator's responsibility. The functions demonstrated in the simulated space environment were very complete, so the lunar landing committee didn't inspect everything, only doing spot checks.

The spot checks proved that the real-world functions were 100% consistent with the simulated functions, and the astronauts' training in the simulated space environment was extremely effective.

During the spot checks, the committee noticed that the spacesuits hadn't been placed inside yet, but it didn't matter. The simulated space environment had already demonstrated it clearly, and the previous spot check results gave them confidence, so they didn't pay attention to this matter.

As a result, Navigator did something on the side, not placing the spacesuits used in the simulated training, but instead putting in the hard-shell spacesuits that were now causing a stir, leading to the current scene.

In the video, Tang Chao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the spacesuits the astronauts trained with in the simulated space environment are this type of spacesuit. Their functions are the same."

"As for why the appearance is different, it's actually just a cosmetic skin in the simulated space environment. The internal workings are the same. It's like using countless skins in the simulated world, but your identity is still determined by your initial registration."

Leaving aside the reactions of others upon hearing this news, the four astronauts who were also on the live feed were relieved.

As long as the spacesuits hadn't been changed, as long as their previous training hadn't been in vain, everything else was easy to handle.

If the worst-case scenario really happened and they had to use unfamiliar spacesuits on the moon, their work efficiency would be greatly reduced, and as official astronauts, and the most orthodox astronauts, they would feel a great sense of guilt.

Tang Chao hadn't finished speaking, hinting that the spacesuits in front of them were even better and more conducive to their activities on the moon.

"This hard-shell spacesuit is our latest research achievement. The core of the spacesuits the astronauts trained with in the simulated space environment is this one. The astronauts initially felt very uncomfortable during training because it was too flexible."

"I spent some time with the astronauts in the simulated lunar training mode, and they reported problems to me, thinking it was due to data calculation errors or insufficient immersion, but it wasn't. This type of spacesuit is just that flexible."

"Compared to traditional extravehicular spacesuits, it looks very rigid, but because the joints use the latest technology, they are actually more flexible than the joints of traditional spacesuits. Squatting, bending over, kneeling on one knee, raising arms horizontally, raising arms overhead, and other movements can be completed relatively easily."

"Although it can't match the flexibility of thin intravehicular spacesuits, I'm not bragging, but in the large family of extravehicular spacesuits, its flexibility can definitely rank first."

"These are still the large-scale flexibility aspects. To carry out scientific investigation, exploration, and construction projects on the lunar surface, the flexibility of the fingers is also very important, so the entire hand of this type of spacesuit has consumed a huge amount of our effort, making its flexibility reach an unimaginable level..."

The reason why Tang Chao could speak so clearly was not only because this spacesuit came from Navigator, but also because this spacesuit was no longer a new thing.

At least from the perspective of Kerbin, it was not new at all. Tang Chao had worn it to Kerbin's space many times.

This type of spacesuit has power assist, a hard shell, and looks like powered armor, but it is slightly inferior to the powered armor used militarily, or rather, it is more accurately described as an engineering model and a civilian version of powered armor.

After all, according to the development history of powered armor in some games or films, the earliest powered armor was used in engineering, and later it was felt to be very impressive, so it was changed to a military model.

Because of its airtightness, the internal space can be pressurized, allowing it to be used in a vacuum state, making it very suitable as a new generation of human spacesuits, which can be regarded as a return to orthodoxy.

After Tang Chao finished introducing this hard-shell spacesuit called "Feiyu" (Flying Universe), everyone was speechless.

The new spacesuit was too strong, so strong that some people wanted to change its space white paint to military green paint.

Moreover, "Feiyu Feiyu", isn't this a tribute to the "Feitian" (Flying Sky) spacesuit? The universe is obviously one level higher than the sky.

The flight from Earth orbit to lunar orbit took two and a half days. During this time, the astronauts stayed in the core module. Besides the large space and comfortable stay, they also completed some simple space research projects.

They also filmed some space greetings and space scenery and sent them back to Earth. The Space Agency selected them and released them online, letting netizens revel.

When the Merui Ken landed on the moon before, they stayed in lunar orbit for more than two days. In addition to the final inspection of the landing equipment, they also needed to observe the landing site "at close range." This time, the Tianxia people don't need to.

Because there is already a Lunar Palace II survival module at the landing site.

The equipment it carries can provide landing guidance. The eight lunar rovers that were released earlier have thoroughly explored the nearby area. The small pits, small stones, and small slopes that cannot be seen clearly in orbit have been detected, and even before the lunar landing launch mission, seven mobile vehicles were recalled and worked hard at the previously designated landing site.

They filled the small pits, picked up the small stones and threw them away, and leveled the small slopes. They were only short of getting some special cement to create a hardened landing site.

Therefore, when approaching the moon, the spacecraft combination does not need to be flipped over to allow the manned spacecraft to ignite and decelerate. The four large nozzles of the Benyue spacecraft can complete the ignition and deceleration.

Anyway, there are no plans to fly back all at once. The Benyue spacecraft does not lack that bit of fuel.

After decelerating into lunar orbit, the four astronauts completed the landing inspection of the spacecraft before deceleration. Therefore, after detecting the Lunar Palace II's guided landing signal in orbit, the Benyue lunar landing spacecraft separated from the main spacecraft and landed on the lunar surface.

The Lunar Palace II on the lunar surface is like an airport control tower, providing real-time data on distance, speed, angle, and spacecraft attitude, which is much more accurate than the information obtained by the spacecraft itself.

This directly stunned the people watching the live broadcast.

"This landing is too simple, right?"

"Yeah, I watched documentaries before, and the Meruiken's landing was dangerous every time, right?"

"Ah, this is 'I have people on the ground,' and everything is easy to handle."
