<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > How does Wang Yaping solve physiological problems in space? Yang Liwei said a word, and the truth made people tear up</h1>
If there is one thing in this world that is boundless, it must be the universe, the universe is boundless, the earth we are on is as small as an ant even for the Milky Way, and for thousands of years, what human beings have hoped for most is eternal life and the starry sky. The former is about human nature and the latter is about reason.
For thousands of years, human beings have longed for the starry sky, starting from the ten thousand households flying in the sky and igniting Soviet rockets. Mankind's journey towards the stars has never stopped. In 1961, Gagarin became the first human being to enter space, and officially announced the entry of human beings into the cosmic era. Sixty years have passed since now, human beings have not only landed on the moon, the probe has also gone to the sun, and recently led by Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping, Ye Guangfu three astronauts led the shenzhou thirteen to rekindle the enthusiasm of netizens, but the astronauts' six-month-long cosmic "business trip" can't help but make netizens cry out in pain, and they are concerned about food, food, and living.
In fact, this is a bit of a worry, because unlike the solid food that can only be eaten in spaceflight before, today's technological leaps and bounds have long allowed astronauts to eat delicious meals. The recipes of Chinese astronauts alone are: steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails, roasted ducks, roasted chickens, roasted goose, braised salted duck, sauced chicken, bacon, pine flowers, small belly, dried meat, sausages, assorted Su pan is not right, this is the recipe of the cross-talk actor. Even if it is, it is pretty much the same. Because Chinese astronauts can eat shredded fish, braised eggplant, shredded snow vegetables, black pepper beef fillet, braised chicken and so on. As many as 127 kinds of space food will even appear in the old dry mother. What the? And the old mom? Yes, you heard it right, because after people go on the day, weightlessness will make the human body taste decline, and the feeling of sourness and spiciness will be much duller than on the ground, so the heavier the taste of the seasoning, the more it is loved by astronauts.
After saying that eating, I have to say that I have to live, and unlike the diversity of food, the daily life of astronauts in space is a lot more difficult, Yang Liwei has revealed many times, and Wang Yaping also frankly said that he did not want to have a daughter. Why? And listen to me. Sixty years of astronauts to the universe more and more, although the new era of women can support half of the sky, but in terms of spaceflight, female astronauts can be described as very few. The reasons are complex, one of which is naturally that men are inherently physically superior to women, allowing male astronauts to adapt more quickly to the discomfort caused by weightlessness. The second is more private and is a physiological problem
The first is to take a bath, if it is a short-term flight is fine, astronauts can wipe their bodies with a towel instead of taking a bath, if long-term flight is a troublesome thing. Before taking a bath, astronauts need to wear respirators, earplugs, goggles, etc., in order to drill into the hood equipped with the space station to take a bath. Due to the weightlessness, the water cannot flow out of the sprinkler and needs to be constantly pressurized. And because space is very dry, the moisture on the body will evaporate rapidly after bathing, which will make the body tremble uncontrollably for more than a minute. Therefore, astronauts in space often take a bath after many days apart, which is undoubtedly devastating for women who are relatively clean.
Then there is the problem of toilet access, also because of weightlessness, astronauts need to use a special toilet, in a special toilet to enter the toilet. There are different containers for defecation and urination, unscrew the switch, the container will suck the excrement in, and the astronaut also needs to ensure the correct direction of force, otherwise it will be scattered everywhere.
Then there's a word we rarely hear: cosmic phobia. Also known as astrophobia, it is a mental illness that causes people to hallucinate and have mental disorders, and the initial symptoms of the disease will be very mild, occasionally talking to themselves, and unwilling to contact others. Over time, it can even cause people to have all kinds of negative fantasies. Compared with men who are born with stronger psychological qualities, female astronauts obviously have to bear more pressure in this regard.
However, compared with what I will say next, there are some small witches above.
I want to say is the most difficult physiological problem, Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China's manned space project, once revealed that when he performed the space mission, he was wearing diapers, and the urine was turned into a flocculent solid by absorbing water and thus discharged, and female astronauts could naturally use this method when menstruating, of course, it would be very uncomfortable.
Then there are special cases, women in space menstruation may appear retrograde, causing blood to enter the abdomen along the fallopian tubes, causing heterogeneous menstruation, and the plot is serious and even threatens the physiological health of astronauts.
In order to avoid this situation as much as possible, female astronauts often delay or suspend the arrival of the menstrual period by taking contraceptives, which has the advantage of estrogen to slow down the loss of calcium in female astronauts during long-term weightlessness and prevent bone fluff. But the disadvantages are even more obvious, long-term use of contraceptives combined with space radiation is likely to make astronauts infertile after returning to Earth, you can imagine how great this sacrifice is.
In fact, our expedition of Wang Yaping astronauts for the space industry to pay far more than so much, in 2009, twenty-nine-year-old Wang Yaping originally according to her and her husband's plan, in this year, wang Yaping participated in china's second batch of astronaut selection, which also means that the two will be in the future for a long time, and may even be unable to have a child belonging to them for a long time. For this reason, the couple quarreled for the first time in many years, but in the end Zhao Peng still respected his wife's choice, and through layers of tests, Wang Yaping rode with Nie Haisheng and Zhang Xiaoguang to the heavens on June 11, 2013, and it was also this time that Wang Yaping gave a unique lecture to more than 60 million primary and secondary school students on the ground, and his name as a space teacher began to penetrate the hearts of the people. It was finally returned on June 26
Fortunately, the heavens took care of it, and this flying sky did not affect Wang Yaping in terms of fertility, and finally gave birth to a daughter in 16 years, fulfilling the couple's dream of wanting children for many years.
Now Wang Yaping's daughter is five years old, and she has been shouting at her mother to cheer up when she went out on the expedition. For a child who is only five years old, she may not realize what it means that her mother will leave for half a year, but she realized the responsibility of her mother early on, and the sense of honor she brings, she said: Mom, you are an astronaut, but I know that you are still a teacher, a space teacher" This can't help but make us sigh, this is the flower of the motherland, this is the next generation of hope in the motherland.
And Wang Yaping also promised his daughter that she would come back early and pick a lot of stars for her when she returned to give them to her classmates. There's probably no more romantic commitment than that. Now let's bless it together and hope that the hero will return soon.
