Of course, the ideal state belongs to the ideal state, and reality belongs to reality. In order to ensure safety, there must be stairs.

In order to double the safety, handrails are also needed to add handrails on both sides of the stairs to ensure the safety of astronauts.

After all, the moon's extra-cabin spacesuit is very thick. Even if it is done flexibly, it will limit the movement ability of the astronauts. In addition, astronauts are not familiar with the gravity environment of the moon, so they may jump up and then fall directly to the ground, or even unable to get up.

This is not nonsense. The astronauts of the Free Federation almost couldn't get up after falling down due to the design of the spacesuit. They tried several times. In addition, the moon's gravity was low, so they tried several times with the help of their arm support before jumping up.

In order to solve this situation, the Free Federation modified the flexibility of the lunar outer space suits and also discovered the way for later generations.

Specifically speaking of the internal structure of the outpost test cabin, it is not just as simple as the "Kid Eagle" lunar module.

The height of 8 meters gives it a two-story structure inside, not counting the vertical cabin top solar panels and landing home, the cabin height is 5 meters.

In this 5-meter-high space, the thickness of the protective layer is still more than 4 meters in total, and it is enough to make two layers of space. Then, the thickness of the protective layer with a diameter of 6 meters is also more than 5 meters.

The diameter is more than 5 meters, which is thicker than the core-level diameter of Long March 5. The length and width of the bedroom that is not big or small is about four or five meters.

A height of more than two meters may be lower in the bedroom, but as a valuable living space on the moon, this is already quite good.

In these two layers of space, a piece of bulges in the middle of the lower layer is the position occupied by the main engine. After all, only if the engine is raised in, the ground can be lowered, and the hatch doors entering and exiting will be as low as possible from the surface of the moon.

In addition to this thing, the first floor includes a equipment maintenance area, sample collection and snow storage area, out-of-cabin spacesuit storage and replacement area, etc., as well as important airlock compartments.

If the first floor is related to equipment and machinery, then the second floor is much warmer. There are work cultivation areas, exercise areas, dining areas, entertainment areas, control areas, storage areas, sleeping areas, etc., as well as independent bathroom systems.

The distribution of these spaces is quite exquisite, allowing four astronauts to live at the same time, and without feeling too much crowded.

The shots of these places were taken by Uncle Ning and the photographer. After layers of cleaning procedures, the two went in wearing dust-proof suits and then turned all the places around.

If this was official equipment, it would probably not be so easy for them to shoot, but the outpost test cabin is something from a practical technology company, so it is naturally a casual shot.

Since the thing has come out, we need to promote it well.

So after seeing the outpost test cabin in the video, netizens were completely shocked.

"Damn it, this is Fanxing's manned lunar module?"

"No, didn't Uncle Ning say that this is the outpost test cabin, and it can only land and not take off twice."

"Good guy, a whole two-story building landed on the surface of the moon. Did Fanxing play this big for the first time?"

"And it's the first flight of Long March 9. This test cabin looks... not cheap. Is it really okay to do this?"

"It should be no problem. Doing this can reflect Fanxing's confidence in the Long March 9 Rockets."

"I also think Fanxing has a lot of confidence in Long March 9, but I think Practical Technology has a lot of confidence in Long March 9, otherwise such an important equipment would not be placed on the starting rocket, right?"

"Yes, I think so too, the configuration of this test cabin is too luxurious!"

"Yes, do you call this thing a test cabin? With such a delicate configuration, do you call this a test cabin?"

"Yes, shouldn't the test cabin be the kind of thing that has a shell and is empty inside?"

"The previous new generation of manned spacecraft test ships were very empty. Not to mention the astronauts' seats, I guess even the bathroom is empty, with only some packages in the bulkhead grid, and the others are empty, which is obvious at first glance.

"Yes, yes, this is a complete moon base, and its name clearly states that the 'outpost' means moving forward base."

"It's almost the same. Outpost battle refers to a unit that is stationed at a certain location to conduct reconnaissance, search for intelligence or enemy situations."

"So I would like to call it the first lunar base of mankind!"

Generally speaking, if people want to understand some places, they must stay at least a few more days and observe more. This is even more true when they arrive on the moon. However, the longest time for humans to stay on the moon is only a few dozen hours at a time, which is basically impossible to observe in a few days on the earth.

To have a certain understanding of the moon in the landing area, you have to stay at least a few months.

But before, the equipment used by humans to land on the moon was just manned lunar module. In such a small place, it only supports humans' survival for dozens of hours, and it is really impossible to do it for a long time.

Moreover, the place is really too small, and it is only a place where two people "live". Astronauts can't stand it if they stay in such a place for a long time.

But it is different with the outpost test cabin. Its configuration is obviously prepared for the long-term residency of astronauts, and it even makes an entertainment area in limited space.

Of course, there are overlapping parts in the exercise area, dining area, and entertainment area. Daily use does not need to be redesigned. If there are slightly larger activities, you need to fold other parts and then expand the key parts.

It is called an entertainment area, but the most conspicuous thing is the super large screen. Astronauts can usually use it to watch video programs, such as movies and TV, or play games.

Even after disassembly and folding, this place can be used as the most "empty" place in the outpost. With the camera on the big screen, they can communicate with the ground and use it to show off on holidays.

For example, a certain astronaut can bring his beloved guitar and have a guitar solo here.

So as long as the supply can keep up, the astronauts will be able to provide some guidance to their mood. They can stay here easily for a year, and even just the supplies provided in the test cabin will be enough for two astronauts to live for a month.

The design life of this "test cabin" is 10 years!

However, everyone knows the lifespan of aerospace equipment. As long as there is no big problem, the delay is certain.

After all, it is too difficult to launch once, especially if the larger the size and the further the distance, it is even less easy. We must squeeze out the greatest value.

Just like the current International Space Station, its design life span is 10 to 15 years, and it has been many years now and is still in use.

Moreover, various situations have proved that it has aged severely, but because there is no substitute, I can only find ways to prolong my life and even want to use it for another 10 years.

Therefore, the importance of the outpost test chamber on the moon is self-evident. Not only netizens know it, but even the think tanks of the commander of the Free Federation also know it.

After the video was posted, the think tank that had been paying attention to this situation immediately contacted the chief commander's office and asked the chief commander to watch the video.

Before the commander finished reading, he was furious and convened relevant personnel to meet.

"Can anyone tell me what this is?"

Denko pointed to the big screen and said.

"It's Fanxing's outpost test cabin, sir."

A great conspiracy answered immediately.

"Of course I know!"

Speaking of this, Denko's fire immediately came up, "Of course I know what this is, or I asked someone to call you over for a meeting."

"I'm asking you how this thing comes from. Can equipment of this level suddenly appear?"

"Why didn't there be any news before?"

The conference room was silent.

Because Denko is right.

This level of equipment is actually as important as the moon rocket. Long March 9 on Fanxing has been talking about it for a long time, but there is no news about this thing and suddenly it pops up.

And it is made by practical technology, but how long has the practical technology aerospace technology company been established? Even if it is not planned so quickly, right?

But practical technology has indeed made the equipment, and it looks so awesome.

Not to mention the professionals in the aerospace department, even those laymen in other departments know about it.

"This is too big, and it is divided into two layers. The division is so clear and reasonable that our national team's lunar module cannot compare to it."

"Indeed, the national team's lunar module is too small, and it may be half the space in the outpost test cabin."

"This is not comparable. After all, ours is the lunar module, which can take off again. The outpost test cabin is large, but it can only stay on the moon."

"But the key now is that the other party can stay on the moon, and we can only stay for a while and then leave. Colonization, have you forgotten what the first step of colonization is? This is the traditional craft of our ancestors!"

"The first step... raise the gun?"

"Occupying territory, the first step is to occupy a piece of territory. If we go there, we can only stay for a while and leave, then how can we colonize!"

"Yes, how did you designate the return to the moon plan? Is it just a simple return? Why didn't you think about creating a lunar test compartment?"

"This... we actually made plans, but the moon base is planned in the later stage, and we can only return to the plan in the early stage because we have to hurry..."

"Hurry? But the other party has walked ahead of us now. Do you call this a hurry?"

"Ah? When did they come ahead of us? We completed the first flight of the moon rocket a few months ago. Their moon rocket parts have just arrived at the launch site!"

"I mean their lunar base. No matter how hard they try, it will not be faster than us in terms of landing the moon. But if they transport the lunar base to the moon first, they can take over the title of "residence"!"

That's right, this is what Denko is most afraid of now. If he can get the Federation back to the moon during his term, and it will be one step ahead of Fanxing, then his re-election will definitely be 99% stable.

The fact is true. Fanxing’s plan is characterized by steady progress, but not fast, and it cannot be faster than the Federal Republic, so his plan success rate is very, very high.

But now an outpost test cabin suddenly appeared on Fanxing, which completely disrupted his plan.

Now Fanxing has accelerated abnormally, but after analysis by the think tank, the Federation will still be faster. After all, time accumulation and technology accumulation are there, and even the same is true when it comes to facts.

The SLS rocket has been in its first flight for several months, and parts of the Long March 9 rocket have just been transported to the launch site.

But now Fanxing obviously doesn't want to take that kind of "tourism" moon landing. They want to stay on the moon for a while for the first time to land on the moon, open another road again, and create a new record.

It was just like when the old Russian failed to land in the moon and then transformed into a space station.

Now when it comes to manned moon landing, it must be its Free Federation, but when it comes to space stations, it cannot avoid Russians.

When it comes to manned moon landing, it must be its free federation. When it comes to returning to the moon, it is still a free federation. But when it comes to permanent moon research and more moon research, it is the stars.

Returning to the moon is very fast, but...so what?

Isn’t it just a reenactment of the moon landing decades ago?

What's the point?

As the commander of the draft, Denko knows the importance of "new tricks" more than anyone else.

It's always a whole life, who loves to watch it!
