Super technology leader

Sporeship.

Tang Chao and the others had no idea about the Enterprise's situation, unaware that someone within was plotting against him.

Even if they knew, it probably wouldn't matter much.

If even the Enterprise had weapons, would the people of Tianxia, suffering from a severe case of "fear of insufficient firepower," not prepare weapons?

That's a joke.

Moreover, Tang Chao was someone with enough influence to access some higher (black) tech and more powerful weapons.

Outsiders only saw them holding fitness competitions, with Captain Tang Chao as the referee, supposedly vying for the order of landing on Mars, and thought they were taking the Mars landing too lightly.

In reality, they weren't taking it lightly at all; on the contrary, they were prepared exceptionally well, so well that... the four astronauts from the national team were a bit dumbfounded.

The ship was Tang Chao's, and the crew were Tang Chao's subordinates, so the four national team astronauts were called "teammates for landing on Mars," but their authority was slightly less than that of the Pathfinder crew.

However, they knew what they were there to do, so they didn't cause trouble and listened to Tang Chao in everything.

They did whatever Tang Chao told them to do, and avoided areas they weren't allowed to go.

They were very well-behaved.

It was determined before departure that the journey to Mars would take 20 days. Initially, it was routine, similar to some of the projects they had trained for before.

During the assembly phase of the Sporeship, Pathfinder had opened up the Sporeship's virtual reality simulator to them, allowing them to familiarize themselves with the Sporeship in the virtual space, so they weren't unfamiliar after boarding, although the real space had different real sensations.

Especially when conducting experiments, the data obtained was the most accurate data, not the exercise and training data fed back to them by the computer.

And with a month's worth of Enterprise videos for comparison, they felt that the Sporeship was indeed a groundbreaking spacecraft, and only such a spacecraft could carry astronauts safely to Mars and complete the landing mission.

The technology it contained also proved that humanity was technologically ready to enter the space age, and flying out of the Earth-Moon system wasn't that difficult.

But when they passed the midpoint of the journey, the ship began to decelerate, and they started practicing, preparing, and adapting for landing, they were dumbfounded.

It started normally, simulating various situations for the astronauts to practice, especially slowing down the rotation speed of the simulated gravity ring cabin, reducing the simulated gravity to about 0.38G, allowing the astronauts to adapt to the simulated Martian gravity.

This operation was simply amazing.

It was like flying from the south to the north on a plane in winter.

On the Enterprise, they boarded wearing only light clothing, the cabin temperature was constant, and the down jacket was in the suitcase, but when they got off the plane in the north, they were freezing, and had to quickly find the down jacket to put on, and might even catch a cold if they were a little slow.

On the Sporeship, they also boarded wearing only light clothing, but the cabin temperature changed in real-time during the flight, constantly decreasing, and when it decreased to a certain level, the flight attendants would remind passengers to add clothing.

Until they landed at the airport in the north, the passengers had basically adapted to the temperature, and had put on their down jackets and hats, and could get off the plane and leave very comfortably.

It had to be said that having a rotating gravity simulation cabin was simply too convenient. Not only could it allow astronauts to live comfortably during the flight, but it could also allow astronauts to conduct adaptive training when approaching the target.

No two planets in the solar system have the same gravity. It would be too wasteful to train on-site after arriving, given the limited time available.

After they adapted to Martian gravity in their cabin suits for a day, they began working and training the next day.

In science fiction films, only thin spacesuits are needed on Mars. Not to mention comparing them to the bulky spacesuits for extravehicular activities, they may even be thinner than cabin suits.

There's no way around it. After all, science fiction films are not documentaries, and the actors are not real astronauts, so the spacesuits have to be cool, lightweight, easy to move in, and also allow the audience to see the actors' faces.

Take the science fiction film "The Martian" as an example.

After all, the Sporeship's destination was Mars, and the place where the astronauts were to land was also there.

Theoretically, walking on Mars would be easier than on Earth, because the gravity on the surface of Mars is only about one-third of that on Earth. After going to Mars, our muscle strength will not decrease, and the burden required will be reduced by two-thirds, so it is certainly easier.

But in fact, things are not like this. The actual situation may be more burdensome than on Earth!

"The Martian" gives the impression that, apart from the "astronaut" wearing a Martian surface work suit, there is not much other burden. Removing the big helmet, the rest is like a more fashionable Earth exploration suit, and can even outline the actor's figure.

If they had to be called spacesuits, then what they were wearing was at most the burden of a cabin work spacesuit, which could only cope with general decompression and insulation. It would be impossible to work on the surface of Mars for a long time.

In addition to the atmospheric pressure on the surface of Mars being only about 1% of that on the surface of the Earth, its temperature is also routinely tens of degrees below zero. Therefore, in order to work on Mars, the spacesuits worn by astronauts will not be very different from the spacesuits used for lunar surface work.

They all need that kind of very thick spacesuit.

America has previously announced Martian extravehicular work spacesuits, which are said to have upgraded various systems and used the most advanced technology, but from the outside, it is no different from the spacesuits used for lunar surface work.

The only difference is that the conditions are slightly lower. After all, Mars does have a bit of atmosphere, and the temperature is slightly "milder", so the limit conditions for some equipment are relaxed a bit, and its weight is also reduced.

The mass has been reduced from 140 kilograms in the Apollo lunar landing era to... 90 kilograms.

Ahem, after all, no matter how light, various life support systems are still needed, such as cooling circulation, air circulation, pressure maintenance, power supply, and other equipment, so the basic mass will not be too light.

However, due to the gravity of Mars, it will be as light as thirty kilograms.

Of course, it is tiring to work wearing clothes that weigh more than thirty kilograms.

And another important factor that causes fatigue is the various "clumsiness".

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

Thickness is the enemy of all flexibility.

In winter in northern Tianxia, it is inconvenient to move around wearing down jackets, cotton pants, and cotton shoes, let alone thick spacesuits. Its joints also have mechanical structures, which increases the sense of clumsiness.

Therefore, it is certain that working on the surface of Mars will not be easy, only more laborious and easier to fatigue. This is a problem that must be considered when going out to work on Mars!

When the four national team astronauts saw the extravehicular spacesuits prepared by Pathfinder, they knew that Pathfinder had solved it, because they saw... Master Chief.

Uh, not Master Chief, just a spacesuit that looks very much like the MJOLNIR powered armor worn by Master Chief.

Yes, Pathfinder calls this thing a spacesuit.

Black internal frame, green external armor, without the fabric wrinkles of a spacesuit, it looks very mechanical.

According to Pathfinder, Mars is red, and green spacesuits are more conspicuous, which is responsible for the safety of astronauts' lives.

As for "hard surface", this is not surprising. Pathfinder's lunar extravehicular spacesuits are hard surface, which Pathfinder calls hard spacesuits.

It's just that the lunar spacesuit is white, which is the classic color of spacesuits, and as national team astronauts, the Aerospace Agency has also cooperated with Pathfinder, so they also know that it has power assist, which is almost like powered armor.

The country has always wanted to buy it, and it is said that procurement matters are being discussed.

The specific details are not known, after all, they are only astronauts, not senior managers.

It's just that seeing the undisguised military green paint suddenly made them not react for a moment.

I can only think in my heart: "Good guy, I'm a good guy!"

Then, the other item that appeared next confirmed that this thing was powered armor!

Maybe it's the MJOLNIR powered armor worn by the Spartan warriors.

Open a cabinet, inside are rows of large guns.

"Electromagnetic rifle!"

Tang Chao introduced to them, "We are going to meet aliens, and given that those aliens have a history of dismantling things, which can be regarded as a feud with our Pathfinder Company, we have to take precautions for everyone's safety."

Saying that, he patted the powered armor... military green painted spacesuit, "If they want to talk, then we will talk to them properly! If they want to fight, hehe, we must let them know whose territory the solar system is!"

Headache...
