While everyone was talking and laughing unknowingly, the polymer composite soft-shell capsule of the 'Oasis No. 1 Expandable Inflatable Space Experiment Module' had been stretched and inflated.
At this moment, through the miniature camera secured on the top of the solar panel of the service module, everyone finally saw on the screen for the first time the full extent of the 'Oasis 1 Expandable Inflatable Space Experiment Module' after it was expanded and inflated.
Contrary to what everyone imagined, the "Oasis No. 1 inflatable space experimental module" stretched and inflated did not look like what everyone imagined when a balloon was blown up.
Instead, it still maintains the same cylindrical structure as the ordinary spacecraft capsule, and compared with the limited diameter of the ordinary spacecraft capsule section, this folded Oasis 1 expandable inflatable space experimental capsule
'The polymer composite soft-shell cabin has a very large diameter when it stretches and expands. The diameter of the polymer composite soft-shell cabin when it stretches and expands reaches more than five meters, and the length of the entire soft-shell cabin also reaches
It is an astonishing twelve meters tall, and the space inside its soft shell reaches nearly 250 cubic meters. Even converted into area, it reaches almost 60 to 70 square meters, which is equivalent to a small urban two-bedroom house.
It can be said that the entire internal space is very huge, which is difficult to achieve with traditional spacecraft capsules.
At this moment, the interior of the polymer composite soft-shell cabin of the 'Oasis-1 Expandable Inflatable Space Experiment Module' has basically been inflated.
The long strip of LED cold source lights arranged on the inner wall of the cabin illuminates the interior of the huge cabin. Through the cameras arranged inside, you can basically see the whole picture.
It's so big, I feel like I can play badminton in it. Tong Juan couldn't help but sigh when she saw the picture in the video.
Haha, where are we now? If it weren't for the limited capacity of our rocket, we could continue to expand the size of this 'Oasis No. 1 expandable inflatable space experimental capsule'. Yang Fan said proudly with a smile.
However, his words were immediately countered by Zhang Jun: "Why do you want it to be so big? You have money to burn. This thing is enough. As long as the space is so big, it can be fully utilized."
Hehe hehe... Everyone chuckled after hearing this, didn't they just spend some money? How could this guy catch and bite whom? It seems that everyone should be careful tonight and not touch his bad luck.
Zou Xiaodong looked at the picture on the screen and couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't it a pity that such a large internal space is used only for growing vegetables and food?"
It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it. Compared to the traditional space station capsule and what we have to do, it's not a pity. Yang Fan smiled and shook his head.
At this time, Wu Hao also smiled and said: "This is an inevitable result that must be experienced and cannot be avoided.
And in the past few times, we could only experiment with this kind of low-risk scientific research project to verify its reliability and safety.
We can't just board the first Oasis-1 inflatable inflatable space experimental capsule. This is irresponsible for life.
And even if we were like this, I'm afraid no one would dare.
Finally, don’t underestimate growing vegetables and grains in space. In fact, this is a very promising industry.
First of all, we will verify the feasibility of space oasis farms and space ecosystems with this technology. If we can conquer this technology, it means that in the future we will be able to cultivate the vegetables that our astronauts need in space.
Cereal grains, and high-quality protein brought by several insects.
This means that our astronauts in space will greatly get rid of and reduce their dependence on supplies from the earth.
On the one hand, it can reduce the number of replenishments, thereby reducing the operating costs of the space station and even spacecraft.
On the other hand, by solving the worries about food, astronauts can live longer in space.
This also makes some deep space exploration projects possible, such as lunar exploration projects, Mars exploration projects, and even further exploration projects in the asteroid belt, Enceladus and other distant planets.
And it will lay a solid foundation for astronauts to establish long-term manned scientific research stations on these planets. Not only that, this technology can even lay the most important foundation for humans to enter space on a large scale in the future, and to immigrate to the moon and Mars.
So as long as we successfully develop this technology, we won’t be afraid of not having cooperation or having no projects.”
Speaking of this, Wu Hao glanced at Zhang Jun, and then continued: "This is a direct benefit, let me talk about indirect benefits, or another big benefit.
That is the technology for cultivating new varieties of vegetables, grains, fruits and other crops in space.
The new varieties of crops such as vegetables, fruits, cereals and grains that we currently eat are made by sending the seeds of these vegetables and fruits into space, and then using the special environmental mutagenesis of space to mutate the seeds before returning to the ground.
New breeding techniques for cultivating new crop varieties.
What we want to develop is deeper space breeding technology.
In the special environment of space, hybrid technology is used to cultivate new varieties of vegetables, fruits, grains and other crops, which was beyond the reach of previous technologies and conditions.
If we can conduct research and exploration in this field and make breakthroughs, then the huge income brought by this part will be enough to cover the capital investment of the entire project, and there may even be a lot of surplus."
Hearing what Wu Hao said, Zhang Jun's eyes lit up instantly. He couldn't wait to say to Wu Hao: "Really, you didn't lie to me?"
Haha, why did I lie to you? You can ask Yang Fan to see if what I told you is true. Wu Hao said with a smile.
After hearing his words, Zhang Jun immediately looked at Yang Fan.
As for Yang Fan, he nodded immediately and said: "The boss is right, space breeding technology is really profitable.
If we can cultivate an excellent crop seed, we can definitely make a lot of money.
You know that the entire world's food seeds are now monopolized by a few companies, and these companies are making a lot of money in turn.
If we can make a breakthrough in this area and cultivate a concentration of excellent crop seeds, we will not only be able to make a lot of money.
It can also break the monopoly of these companies and safeguard national food security.
If we don't say anything else, let's just say that if we can cultivate a high-quality wheat variety, if we can increase the ear size of a single wheat plant by 20%, then so much wheat will be planted in our country.
District, just this 20% increase in production has reached a very astonishing figure."
