In the Tiangong live broadcast room.
The three astronauts were hanging in the air, as if they were sitting on an invisible stool, holding soft plastic meal bags in their hands and feasting on the delicious food.
The camera focused on the dining table and took a close-up, showing a table of meal packages on it, with various types and dishes.
There are more than a dozen that can be seen with the naked eye, such as black pepper beef tenderloin, Bazhen Baozhen rice, spicy lamb, braised pork chop, carrot chicken, Kung Pao chicken, braised pork, assorted cans, matsutake corn, Stir-fried three vegetables...
There is even a package of vacuum space rice dumplings. Although the shape is out of shape and crushed, only a few candied dates can be seen mixed in the glutinous rice. It looks like a piece of candied date cake, but the outermost small rice dumpling leaf is enough to prove This is the authentic Zongzi.
Each meal pack is small, only 80 grams. Those with a big appetite may need to eat four or five packs in one meal.
With such a full table set out, plus drinks such as black tea, green tea, juice, etc., in this space capsule at an altitude of 400 kilometers, it is as sumptuous as a Manchu banquet.
However, only such rich food can sustain a diet that is not repeated seven days a week and provide sufficient nutrition.
Seeing this space banquet, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room instantly became cheerful, and the barrage scrolled crazily.
"It's obviously in a space capsule, but I can't help but feel as comfortable as being at home, with air conditioning, WIFI and watermelon."
"That's right, this is the Chinese Space Station, the happy home of astronauts."
"To be honest, I can feel the fragrance coming from space through the screen."
"Ahhhh, a foodie like me has no resistance to mukbang, let alone space mukbang. Thinking about it is exciting!"
“Have you seen that rice dumpling? It’s a space rice dumpling with a small rice dumpling leaf retained. This last bit of stubbornness is really cute.”
"I saw it. If it weren't for the rice dumpling leaf, I would have thought it was glutinous rice chicken."
"Hahaha, we are indeed a nation of foodies. We are really obsessed with eating."
"The best mukbang, only you!"
"It turns out that there is no need for chairs in space, just sit in a sitting position."
"Sitting in the air is so cute. I love it."
"So cute, space cook."
Tang Yamei was the first to finish the meal. She quickly took out another apple and ate it in one bite.
A crisp sound sounded, and a big gap appeared on the apple.
She puffed out her cheeks, twisted her body, and floated in the air.
Maybe it was too comfortable, as she let her limbs fly while eating the apple.
Soon it turned into a position with the head down and the feet up, and after a few seconds, it turned into lying on the side in mid-air.
The whole person started spinning in circles directly on the spot.
Netizens became even more happy when they saw her free-spirited eating posture.
"It's weird and cute."
"I won't stop spinning, jumping, or even eating."
"Eating while floating, eating with her head on her feet, eating in circles, and eating while lying on her side. I would like to call her the number one mukbang person in the universe."
"I laughed so hard, talking about how astronauts can let themselves go and express their personal preferences."
"Good guy, I think this apple must be delicious. Can it make an astronaut feel so good after eating it?"
"I don't like eating apples at first, so I must buy a few to eat tomorrow so that the world and the world can synchronize."
"With so many postures, will the apple juice float?"
"There is very little apple juice. If you eat an orange, the sour and refreshing scene of juice flowing across your face is unimaginable."
"Am I the only one curious, where to throw the apple core?"
"Officially, they were put in garbage bags, vacuumed to compress the volume, placed in a cargo spacecraft, and finally re-entered the atmosphere with the spacecraft and burned."
"Apple is indeed the king of fruits. It can actually debut in the C position in space. I, Mr. Banana, have to accept it."
"This banana skin bag of yours is too long for space."
"???What? You can also drive if you eat and broadcast???"
Ten minutes later, the other two astronauts also finished eating in a hurry.
But the three of them did not disperse to do their own thing. Instead, they gathered together and curiously looked at the new smart watch in their hands.
Netizens also saw this scene and asked curious questions.
"What is this? It looks like Juwei's smart watch."
"I heard that the supplies were delivered by a cargo spacecraft, so is this an express delivery from the astronauts?"
"Unpacking packages in a space capsule, I love this life!"
After a while, Tang Yamei walked towards the camera with excitement, raised the smart watch on her wrist, and introduced it nonstop.
"This is not just a smart watch, it is also a newly developed portable universal monitor that can monitor the physiological changes of astronauts during flight work in real time 24 hours a day, recording blood pressure, electrocardiogram, heart rate, body temperature, blood oxygen, and respiratory rate. These six life parameters.”
"In fact, our space station also has portable monitoring equipment, but it is relatively large, troublesome to wear, and very inconvenient. Now this one is like a watch. It is worn on the wrist. It is as light as nothing. You can't feel its existence at all, but it can Our physical status is monitored 24 hours a day.”
"Our daily body data will be transmitted to the ground, and the medical team can keep a close eye on it at all times. If there are any problems, they can detect them in time and conduct better diagnosis and treatment."
"Last time we also used a smart watch on the space station, which also monitored body parameters 24 hours a day, but that one only had an electrocardiogram detection function and was not so comprehensive. Now this one can comprehensively monitor body data, which is really surprising."
"Is this the power of technology? It's amazing."
"If you look at this body temperature detection function, it can display my real-time body temperature. Well, it shows that my body temperature is 37.1 degrees. This is a bit high, but it is normal. My body temperature will be a little higher just after eating."
Tang Yamei took a look at her body temperature, didn't care, and explained with a smile.
"Other parameters are normal and relatively detailed. Of course, the numbers are definitely different from ordinary people, because in space, our body parameters will change to a certain extent, which is different from those on the ground..."
She explained in detail the physical changes that astronauts undergo when they come into space, and took the opportunity to give the audience a popular science lesson.
This is also the main purpose of Tiangong’s live classroom, to explain aerospace knowledge and stimulate the interest and hobbies of the masses.
Netizens did not know that the space environment would cause such great damage to astronauts' bodies. After hearing this, they were all moved and started talking about it.
"I didn't know that astronauts' bodies would suffer so many injuries after entering space."
"It turns out that a weightless environment is so dangerous. Not only will muscles and bones atrophy, but there are also such high health risks."
"No wonder the faces of these three astronauts are a little swollen. The contrast is really sharp. When Sister Tang first went up, she had an oval face, but now she has an oval face."
"Such a harsh environment really requires a device that monitors physical conditions 24 hours a day. It's really convenient to be so portable."
“It looks like it’s an upgraded version of Juwei’s smart watch. Is it undergoing internal testing?”
"Juwei employees said that they have not heard any rumors about this so far, and it should not be a project they are working on."
"Whose product is that? Is it a self-developed project of the space center?"
"You're so stupid upstairs. The medical function is so powerful. It sounds like something Sanqing can create."
"Damn it, Sanqing and the space station, this wave is really a dream connection?"
After Tang Yamei finished the introduction, he waved to the other two people, and the three of them floated to the side together.
When the camera turned, another scene appeared, which was the special training area in the space station.
"Well, life lies in exercise. Due to environmental reasons, we astronauts must insist on scientific exercise every day to stay healthy."
"We just finished eating, let's show you how astronauts do exercises in space."
"Look, this is a dedicated exercise area. There are space bicycles, space treadmills, and resistance bands. They are all specially designed equipment that can exercise your body very well."
She looked at the first device with a delighted smile on her face.
"This is my favorite, the space treadmill. It adds a gravity simulation device that can apply a certain amount of pressure to restrain people on the treadmill. This is equivalent to exercising in a normal gravity environment and exercising skeletal muscles."
"This equipment is very popular. It can adjust the pace and frequency just like an ordinary treadmill. But it should be my turn to use it tonight."
Tang Yamei pointed to two other devices next to them.
"That spinning bike, which looks similar to a gym bike, is called a space bike. It is also our favorite fitness equipment. The principle is to use electromagnetic force or other methods to increase resistance, which can be used for leg exercise."
"Resistance bands are also an important piece of equipment for space fitness. Just like on Earth, they can increase the resistance of movements and help build muscle strength."
"We exercise no less than two hours a day, mainly to exercise the muscles of the body and reduce the impact of weightlessness as much as possible."
"Of course, sometimes we also do some more interesting sports, such as table tennis, Tai Chi, and somersault competitions."
"You can consider having a somersault competition next time you broadcast live."
She pointed to the watch on her wrist and said with a smile: "But now we have to test this new gadget, collect body data during exercise, and then save it."
The three quickly divided up the exercise equipment.
Tang Yamei put on a special vest, adjusted her accustomed pace and frequency, and started running.
The other two also started sweating it out on the space bike and on the drag strip.
Netizens watched with rapt eyes.
"Wow, the resistance belt is really good. You can see the various sports postures of astronauts."
"Nah, just in this moment, 8 sports positions have been unlocked."
"Tsk tsk, they are indeed a carefully selected group of people with the highest physical fitness."
"In fact, every action they make has been carefully designed by scientists and is a design plan for the space environment. Please don't imitate it randomly."
"I'm really looking forward to the somersault competition in space."
"They are very proficient in various sports. During the last live broadcast, I even saw them playing Tai Chi. Their movements were more professional than my dad's."
"Take care of yourself and look forward to the day when you return to Earth."
Twenty minutes later, the three stopped to rest.
Tang Yamei sat in the air, gasping for air. She casually clicked on the watch on her wrist and checked her physical parameters.
"Huh, let me see the changes in the six major body indexes after intense exercise."
"The body temperature has risen, reaching 37.6 degrees, which is a bit high, but it is normal. The heart rate has increased, the blood pressure has increased, the blood oxygen content has dropped a lot, 87%, the respiratory rate has accelerated, and the electrocardiogram fluctuations are also very alarming."
"The data are very accurate and are similar to the results I usually measure after exercise."
"The functions of Sanqing's new portable monitor are still very powerful."
Tang Yamei smiled and confirmed the measurement results, then looked at the other two people.
"How are you two doing? Is the data accurate?"
The other two looked down at their watches for a while and nodded.
"The data is quite accurate."
"That's good, let's take a break and continue!"
Tang Yamei waved her hand, took out another apple from somewhere, and ate it in big gulps.
Netizens were instantly excited.
"How many apples do Sister Tang have in her pocket? Why do she eat them whenever she has time?"
"This thing looks really good. I really want one."
"She said it, she said it, it is indeed something from the Sanqing Group."
"It should be a product jointly developed by Sanqing Group and the Aerospace Institute for astronauts. It has really powerful functions. With the real-time monitoring function of these six life parameters, you no longer have to worry about any sudden illness."
"Sanqing is awesome. I just used the ECG monitoring function. It gave me a whole new job so quickly. Oh my god, I can't even keep up with its pace of releasing new products."
"When can I buy it? Can I use it next year?"
"Don't have high expectations. It may still be in the testing stage and will only be used for scientific research on the space station for the time being."
"Let's let the astronauts use it first. Space is much more dangerous than the ground. We can wait slowly and there is no rush."
"That's right. Let's protect the health of Sister Tang and others first."
The three of them rested for a while and then started to move again.
But the live broadcast stopped shortly after, probably it was time for a break.
Washing, eating, unpacking express, exercising, working...
This is the space life of astronauts, unpretentious, busy and fulfilling.
****
A few days later.
Across the ocean, NASA headquarters.
The person in charge, Nelson, sat at a large oak desk, frowning as he looked at a video in front of him.
"I need a reason, just one reason, why we have been surpassed in aerospace again. There is such a portable monitor in the Tiangong Space Station, but we don't know anything about it."
"Please tell me when we can equip the Eagle Nation astronauts on the International Space Station with such equipment."
His hair was already full of white, but his eyes were still fierce. His ice-blue eyes like a vulture stared at his subordinate, as if he was going to tear this frightened little white rabbit into pieces in the next second.
"Mr. Nelson, this is a medical device tailor-made for the space center by the Chinese pharmaceutical giant Sanqing Group. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do in this regard. After all, we are not experts in medical devices."
Nelson's face turned ugly instantly.
The subordinate quickly added: "We have contacted Philips Healthcare and GE Healthcare. They are the strongest in the world in the field of monitors. I believe they will catch up soon and provide our astronauts with the same products."
Nielsen relaxed and nodded in agreement: "With the strength of these two companies, it shouldn't be difficult to come up with the same thing."
However, within a few days he received bad news.
"Why?" Nelson said gloomily, "Why can't they get it out?"
The subordinates were so frightened that they dared not vent their anger, and hesitantly said: "They said that it is easy to monitor the six major life parameters. They can do it better than Sanqing and have more powerful functions..."
Nelson interrupted: "In that case, why do you still say no?"
The subordinate said with a grimace: "But if you want to put a monitor with such functions into a smart watch, it is absolutely impossible."
"They have obtained Sanqing's ECG monitoring module, which is very highly integrated and is only as big as a fingernail. If they want to crack and copy all the hardware technology, it is not impossible, but it will take a certain amount of time."
"That's it, the difficulty is already very high. If you put all six monitoring functions into a module as big as a fingernail, it would be too difficult. It is far beyond their current capabilities."
"If they can get a sample of Sanqing, maybe they can try to crack it, but it is absolutely impossible for them to develop it directly by themselves."
The subordinate finished speaking in one breath, then lowered his head and did not dare to speak any more.
Nelson unexpectedly did not get angry. Instead, he pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Go ahead even if it's difficult. The harder it is, the better."
"Hurry up and talk to them about cooperation. No matter what, we need to continue research and development. We need such a portable monitor. We must not fall behind China in terms of aerospace."
He looked at his subordinate and saw that he had a confused look on his face, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"The greater the difficulty, the easier it is to apply for funds from above. Don't you understand this?"
The subordinates suddenly realized and admired him deeply. He was worthy of being a leader. This operation of using competitors to scare our superiors and take advantage of the opportunity to obtain funds was simply perfect and ubiquitous.
Nelson then pulled out a document from his desk, with a proud smile on his lips.
"You see, there is a medical accident on the International Space Station, which gives me an excellent opportunity."
"Next year's funding will increase by a considerable amount."
