After putting a ship of high-density ore into the refining array and allowing it to operate according to the set process, Chen Yu drove the mining barge back to the construction platform...the residential cabin next to it.

This is something he has made in the past two days. A building that is about 120 meters long and 80 meters wide, similar to an iron box. After the anchoring is completed, it can be connected to the control tower and borrowed energy from the control tower to maintain operation.

It is not a high-energy-consuming building itself, it is just an ordinary space residence cabin.

The reason for building such a living cabin is naturally because Chen Yu feels that the construction platform is not that comfortable and wants to change to a more comfortable environment.

Not to mention anything else, even if he bought a lot of furniture in that blank room, it is still not a room suitable for long-term living.

So Chen Yu moved a little from the mineral used to build the ring belt components and built a living room for himself that he had been interested in before.

This living cabin is large in size, comparable to a small villa on earth, and can be parked in spacecraft, and the living space inside is comfortable. After Chen Xin moved some furniture that was originally placed on the construction platform, this place naturally became Chen Yu's new home.

Of course, after the outer ring of the ring belt was repaired, Chen Yu still had to move to the outer ring to live. This was just his temporary residence during the construction of the ring belt.

After walking into the living compartment, taking off his space suit and shoes from the entrance to the door, and changing into a more relaxed home suit, Chen Yu walked into the room.

The entire living room is very spacious, and there are multiple rooms inside to distinguish different functional areas, not just a large room.

Such a large living space is probably red from the eyes of jealousy for the aerospace departments on Earth. After all, Americans have been trying hard to survive and spend a lot of money to build a space station smaller than this residential cabin.

Not to mention the crowding inside, there is no way to compare with Chen Yu's comfortable living space.

However, although the space is large, Chen Yu has only one person, and he is only temporarily living, so he did not divide too many rooms, but just set up a bedroom, study, and other spaces for himself as kitchen, bathroom, storage and living room.

Among them, Chen Yu's quality of life is of course the bathroom.

Although you can also take a bath on a construction platform, the conditions for taking a bath in space are limited. In addition, the construction platform itself is not designed for long-term living, so it is even harder to say how comfortable it is.

So this is one of the reasons why Chen Yu built a living cabin. At least he had to take a shower happily.

This time he did not treat himself badly. He was so big that he could swim with the surf bathtub and the wide bathroom, as well as the projection screen with the entire wall like floor-to-ceiling windows, which can be said to be the top enjoyment.

In fact, taking a bath in space is a very luxurious thing.

Chen Yu has water resources directly mined from the asteroid belt here, but there is no need to consider the cost. In addition, the circulation system of the residential cabin will not cause water to be wasted.

But for the earth, bathing in space is very expensive and very troublesome.

In the Sky Laboratory, the first space station built by the Americans, the Americans prepared a bathtub for their astronauts, where they could clean their bodies with hot water blown out of nitrogen.

However, this equipment is not easy to use, because there are only 2.7 liters of water in total, and in the closed bathtub, after the water is blown out, it will stick to the body or fly everywhere because there is no gravity, making the astronaut's bath a torment.

In addition, the water temperature will keep getting colder. After taking a shower, you must use a special water absorber to collect the water from your body and in the bathtub.

Imagine not using a towel to wipe it off after taking a shower, but using a vacuum cleaner to suck the water on your body... There is no comfort in this kind of bathing at all.

When the Soviets built the Sailing Space Station, they also used equipment similar to that of the Americans. However, the Soviets were a little better. They equipped astronauts with respirators and goggles, and their bathing equipment not only allowed to take a bath, but also allowed to take a sauna.

However, following the consistent maneuver of the Russians, this equipment was very complex and took five hours to assemble, which resulted in about a month that the astronauts on the Salute could enjoy the equipment once.

When it came to the Mir space station, the Russians still had the same set of equipment, but the slightly better thing was that they finally improved the technology. However, it took 40 minutes to heat the equipment, and 25 minutes to dry the body and equipment after taking a shower, and then it took 2 hours to disinfect the equipment. The time it took astronauts to really use it for bathing is only 5 minutes.

So after trying various methods but ultimately unable to effectively solve the problem of bathing, space agencies and astronauts from various countries finally gave up the idea of ​​taking a bath with water in space.

On the International Space Station and China's Tiangong, the astronauts chose to wipe it with a wet towel after giving up taking a bath with precious fresh water.

Clean your body and hair with shower gel and shampoo without water, then wipe dry with a wet towel with water, and finally wipe off the water from your body with a dry towel, so that you can take a shower in space.

However, considering the saving of resources and the clean space environment, astronauts will take a shower like this only every three days.

As for Chen Yu, who is full of water in a bathtub and lying inside to swim, it is a luxury that he dared not even imagine.

The contract signed by Nasa and Space-X stipulates that the Dragon spacecraft needs to transport 20 tons of cargo to the International Space Station, and the cost is US$1.6 billion, with an average of US$80,000 per kilogram of supplies.

If you take a normal bath on Earth, even if it is a relatively water-saving shower, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be consumed after a ten-minute bath, not to mention wanting to take a bath or something. It is a luxury of millions of dollars in a bath.

But for Chen Yu, these things do not need to be considered, and this is the difference brought about by the difference in technology generation.

Just as Chen Yushu was taking a bath comfortably and watching the latest science and education films with the large projection screen on the wall, a yellow warning suddenly popped up on the projection screen. The radar of the control tower detected a rocket launched from the earth and predicted that its orbit would approach the moon.
