Chapter 202: The First
Five days later, in the Deep Sea Dragon Palace space station, Wang Hao floated in mid-air, holding a tablet computer, and announced with a serious face:
"I announce, the first 'Dragon Palace Cup' Space Games, registration starts now!"
Opposite, astronaut Old Chen, who was drinking bagged soy milk with a straw, almost sprayed the soy milk out: "What the hell? Games?"
"Yes! Games!" Wang Hao gestured excitedly.
"We've been up here for five days, every day is either moving goods or debugging equipment, how boring!"
"Need to do some entertainment activities, and by the way... hehe, live stream for the folks on Blue Star, let them see how wonderful our space life is!"
The other astronauts in the cabin looked at each other.
They are all top talents carefully selected, engineers, scientists, pilots, just not... athletes.
"Well, Director Wang." Old Chen said cautiously.
"We are in space, how do we compete in these games?"
"Running? High jump? You can't even tell up from down here."
"That's why you need creativity!" Wang Hao swiped quickly on the tablet and pulled up the project plan he designed overnight.
"Look—"
Four projects jumped out on the screen:
1. Microgravity Precision Delivery Competition: Throw a water ball into a moving target with a diameter of thirty centimeters three meters away, see who is accurate.
2. Space Walk Racing: Wear a lightweight spacesuit, move along the designated route on the outer wall of the space station, time trial.
3. Mechanical Arm Manipulation Master Competition: Use the "Heavenly Clerk" mechanical arm to complete fine assembly tasks, compare speed and precision.
4. Cabin Orienteering: Find hidden targets in the complex cabin structure of the space station, all-terrain challenge.
After reading, Old Chen's eyes lit up: "This is interesting."
"Not just interesting!" Wang Hao pulled up another document.
"We also want to do a global live stream! The quantum communication link has been tested, the delay is only 0.5 seconds, no different from ground live streaming."
"And the audience can switch multiple perspectives, and can also see real-time data, heart rate, energy consumption, operation precision, all transparent!"
Li Yang, who had been floating in the corner debugging equipment, looked up: "When do you want to hold it?"
"This weekend!" Wang Hao grinned.
"Saturday afternoon at two o'clock, just in time for the evening prime time on Blue Star."
"I've already talked to the ground propaganda department, they are responsible for promotion, we are responsible for playing... oh no, competing!"
"What about the participants?" Old Chen asked.
"Our astronaut team 1, ground control center team 1, they remotely control robots to compete." Wang Hao paused.
"I also invited a special guest..."
He paused for three seconds as if selling a mystery: "Zhou Ming, champion of the Longteng Cup National Mech Competition!"
"I let him remotely access with a simulator on the ground, control a 'Competitor-Space Modified' robot specifically designed, and compete on the same field with us!"
The cabin was silent for two seconds, then burst into laughter.
"Director Wang, you are going to increase the intensity for the ground players!"
"I know that kid Zhou Ming, operating a mech is like playing, but how much can he exert in space?"
"Five percent? Three percent? After all, the environment is completely different."
"That's why it's exciting!" Wang Hao's eyes glowed.
"And do you know what's the most wonderful thing? All competition data will be uploaded to 'Torch Dragon' in real-time, used to optimize space operation processes."
"We are doing scientific research while playing, killing two birds with one stone!"
Li Yang thought for a while: "Feasible, but must ensure safety, especially extravehicular projects."
"I wrote the safety plan last night!" Wang Hao pulled up the document.
"Each contestant is equipped with two safety officers, mechanical arms on standby throughout, laser rangefinders monitoring spacesuit status in real-time."
"In case of any emergency, it can intervene within 0.3 seconds."
"Then do it." Li Yang nodded, "Just test our emergency response capability."
The news spread back to the ground, and the entire Longyin Research Institute was excited.
Chen Guang heard the news in the cafeteria and pushed up his glasses: "Haozi finally moved the variety show to space."
"Isn't that good!" Zhao Kaiyuan carried his tray and sat down.
"Let the whole world see, our astronauts can not only do hard work in space, but also play so high-end, this is called cultural output."
"Output what? Output Haozi's brain hole?"
"Output national self-confidence." Zhao Kaiyuan said seriously.
"Think about it, what are astronauts from other countries doing in space?"
"Doing experiments, repairing equipment, taking a few photos."
"What about us? Holding games, global live streaming, and even inviting ground champions to participate remotely."
"The technical support behind this is more convincing than any propaganda draft."
Chen Guang thought about it and nodded: "Makes sense."
On Saturday morning, the space station entered the final preparation stage.
Wang Hao was busy, oh no, he was busy in space.
He floated around checking equipment, debugging live streaming cameras, testing communication links, and even took time to design a virtual image for himself as the "event host":
A cartoon character wearing a spacesuit, sunglasses, and holding a starting gun.
"Your image..." Old Chen tried to hold back laughter, "Isn't it a bit too arrogant?"
"That's what I want, arrogance!" Wang Hao said righteously.
"The first space games I host, if I'm not arrogant, am I worthy of the audience?"
At 1:50 PM, the live stream signal was connected.
Major global video platforms pushed it simultaneously.
The title was simple and brutal: "Live look at 'Deep Sea Dragon Palace' — The first space games scene!" ===== CHAPTER 203 =====
