Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 743 - 699: One Day in the Heavens, One Month on Earth
Only felt that the originally light-as-swallow body suddenly felt as if tied with a thousand-pound burden.
Almost strained Lin Yi's old waist.
The steps moving forward even vaguely felt unable to lift.
In a moment, Lin Yi thoroughly understood why he discovered while watching TV that astronauts in the space stations had to sit in wheelchairs when returning to Earth.
Having only tried this for a bit of time, such a great contrast and discomfort had already appeared.
It's imaginable what kind of contrast those astronauts who lived in space for months would feel upon returning to Earth.
Not to mention the exterior of the body, even the interior can't adapt in a moment.
It's like the heart that could originally beat easily suddenly being tightly grasped by someone, making its beating much more difficult.
Fortunately, this space station can adjust gravity at any time, otherwise, the immigration plan might not really be able to be implemented.
After all, there is a world of difference between the gravity here and on Earth; can humans who have lived on Earth for a long time adapt to such an environment, or even adapt for a long time?
The answer is affirmative, if not planning to return, living here continuously is not an issue with mankind's ability to adapt to environments.
Just humans will also change.
Human bodies will adjust to a state more suitable for living here, but returning to Earth wouldn't be easy to bear.
Though the body became incredibly heavy at the moment, Lin Yi did not lower the gravity again.
Because he still needs to adapt to life on Earth for long periods, can't just lower the gravity again to lighten the current weight on his body.
How long can I live on the moon?
My main living place is still Earth.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi shook his head helplessly, but at the same time dismissed a thought.
A thought he just wanted to try.
That is to increase the gravity a bit more; a gravity higher than Earth's—what kind of feeling would it be?
At this moment, he has no such thought at all.
Just kidding, barely enduring Earth's gravity just now; if it's a bit higher, then probably just won't walk, just directly lie down flat.
After adapting for quite a long time, he finally barely adapted to such an environment.
It is entirely because Lin Yi's physical fitness is relatively strong; if replaced by an average person, it would be impossible to recover such familiarity with the environment in so short a time.
After some toiling, a look at the wristwatch revealed it was already three in the morning.
Only Lin Yi's time on the moon coincided with lunar daytime.
Therefore, even though it is already three in the morning, it is still bright outside.
Speaking of which, one can't help but explain that the lunar day and night are entirely different from Earth's.
There is also a distinction between day and night on the moon; the moon's rotation period is 27.32 days, but a lunar day and night is 29.53 days, roughly a month in the lunar calendar.
The moon orbits Earth, locked by Earth's tides, making its orbit period equal to its rotation period, and for Earth's reference frame, it takes the moon 27.32 days to complete one orbit.
This might be complex, so let's sum up directly: a lunar day is equivalent to 29.53 Earth days.
Though not as mythical as one day in the sky equating to a year on Earth, still a day above, a month on Earth has passed.
Not only that, the lunar environment is extremely harsh.
Currently, Lin Yi is inside the base, not experiencing all of it.
If he were outside the base, he'd find the lunar surface temperature at this moment is even as high as 120 degrees Celsius.
This is entirely because the moon lacks atmosphere; the sunlight directly hits the lunar surface, causing a temperature surge.
Compared to Earth's temperature, lunar surface average daytime temperature definitely exceeds 100 degrees.
This is the daytime; at night, it is exposed to the -270℃ cosmic environment, dropping to minus 170 degrees Celsius.
No, this is not nonsense; all above data are measured by robots within the base, and the current outdoor temperature is marked as 123 degrees Celsius.
In such a temperature, if Lin Yi really went outside without a protective suit, he would definitely be roasted instantly.
This kind of environment is actually not fit for human habitation, which is why no life forms have been found on the moon.
Climbing the ladder to his three-meter-high bed again, through the fully transparent roof, Lin Yi could clearly see the sights in space.
And at this moment, space wasn't as star-studded as Lin Yi imagined before leaving.
Instead, it was a vast stretch of blackness.
Not to mention stars, even a tiny bit of light couldn't be seen.
Of course, the only visible sphere is Earth.
And such results appear because the moon lacks atmosphere; sunlight directly hits the lunar surface, and the reflected sunlight from the moon is much brighter than light from other stars, hence it's hard to see stars with the naked eye on the moon.
If the Earth weren't so close to the moon, then presumably, Earth's existence wouldn't even be visible from the moon.
However, there is another point. Because there is no air, it is extremely clean compared to Earth.
Therefore, using professional space observation instruments to observe stars on the moon is very clear.
Just like now, Lin Yi picked up a remote control as tall as a person beside the bed, pressed a button on it, and instantly, the originally transparent ceiling set under a slightly light blue color.
As this color lit up, the originally pitch-black night sky suddenly became starry.
Not only stars appeared, but their brightness wasn't what could be seen on Earth.
Not exaggerated to say, even Saturn's rings were clearly visible to Lin Yi.
If an astronomer were here at this moment, they would certainly exclaim, even jump up excitedly; such an environment is perfect for astronomical observation, so much better than Earth.
