Chapter 1349 The Biosphere Unsealed!

Gurbantunggut Desert.

Here is the forbidden zone of life.

Academician Lu drew a circle here many years ago. A six-lane road and two poplar trees planted along the Yanbian were paved here. With the completion of a closed biosphere in the shape of an ostrich egg, there is gradually a little bit of life here. Inhabited.

The pen in his hand stopped, and Liang Youcheng, who was wearing work clothes, glanced at the cabin air pressure indicator on the workbench next to him, and then closed the diary in his hand.

A full four hundred days have passed since the biosphere was last shut down.

There are two things that Liang Youcheng must do every day. One is to make videos with his wife and children, and the other is to write a diary to record every detail of his life in the biosphere.

This is what the psychiatrist suggested to him when he was still in training.

"...The environment on Mars will be even harsher than here. Being in a low-gravity state for a long time will not only put a load on the bones and organs, but also put a lot of pressure on the heart. Now the former can be controlled by drugs, and the latter Or you need to adjust yourself, try to write a diary when you are bored, just write a few sentences."

In this way, more than a year has passed, and he feels that his diary is thick enough to write a book. So much so that this kind of life was about to end, and he actually felt a little bit reluctant.

"Speaking of which, today is the day when the biosphere opens."

With a sigh of relief, he stood up from the console.

If he remembered correctly, he was the last post. When the colleagues in the planting department harvested the last batch of potatoes and corn, they could pack their bags and stand at the door of the airlock waiting for the people outside to open the door.

I don't know where I heard the news from, but people have been talking about it since the day before yesterday, and it is said that Academician Lu will come today.

Any astronaut will be familiar with the chief consultant and chief designer of the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee.

After hearing the news, almost everyone was discussing excitedly, does this mean that the time for them to fulfill their mission is coming soon...

Meanwhile, outside the biosphere.

Accompanied by several army soldiers, a group of people walked on the concrete road in the research base.

Looking around, looking at the neat concrete houses on both sides of the road, Lu Zhou couldn't help but said with nostalgia.

"Here it is again."

Walking beside him, Director Li felt the same in his heart at the moment, and said in a rather emotional tone.

"yes."

Counting this time, he came to this desert three times in total, whether it was the site selection of the base or the recovery of the Lightning airborne capsule, he was with Lu Zhou every time.

Not only that, every time he comes here, he can see the obvious difference from this lonely castle standing in the desert.

But this time, the changes he saw in his eyes were even more obvious.

It can even be said that it seems to have changed. Even if the changes he saw when he came here the previous two times combined, I'm afraid it can't compare to the shock of this time.

"I didn't expect that the changes here are quite big."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled.

"It's not just big? I almost can't recognize it."

When the Tinder Project was first established, he remembered that this place was still a barren desert, and the people stationed here were mainly the nearby militia regiment, as well as scientific researchers transferred from various research units.

The conditions at that time were very difficult. They slept in a mobile home converted from a container, ate dry food that was easy to store, and drank water delivered by a water truck hundreds of kilometers away.

Now a few years later, the Tinder project has taken root in this desert. And this research base page has changed from a fire to a burning torch, and has become a beacon that cannot be ignored in the Huaguo extraterrestrial colonization plan and the international biosphere research plan!

Walking beside Lu Zhou and Director Li, Professor Hu Yang looked a lot more vicissitudes than before.

The dry wind and sand took away his youth from the young and middle-aged professor of Agricultural University, and at the same time left chapped wrinkles on his face.

Without looking at his ID card, no one would be able to tell that he was only in his early forties.

"In the past two years, two research institutes have been moved here, and members of international cooperation organizations have settled in. So many people are stationed here, eating and drinking have stimulated the local economy. Many local people who do business in the vicinity see The troops built water towers nearby, and even built houses along the road. Now I am a little worried that the relocation of so many people here will destroy the fragile local ecological environment.”

"After all, what attracts us to stay here is the restricted area of ​​life in the middle of the Gurbantunggut Desert. If this trend continues, I'm afraid that the local people will develop tourism here in the future, and we will have to move out sooner or later. "

Director Li nodded thoughtfully, and said seriously: "I will report the situation here with the organization, and guide the non-researchers who live nearby to a suitable place as soon as possible."

Professor Hu Yang sighed: "Then please."

While talking, the group finally reached the deepest part of the research base.

Here lies the most core component of the entire Tinder project—Biosphere A.

From the last experiment to the present, the biosphere has been operating stably for 400 days without external resource input. Now its staged goal has been completed, and today is the time for that gate to open.

In the lounge outside the biosphere, Lu Zhou and others met the astronauts who were about to go to distant Mars.

"Hello, Academician Lu!"

As soon as they met, a young astronaut in casual clothes stepped forward enthusiastically and held Lu Zhou's hand.

Responding to the enthusiasm of the young astronaut, Lu Zhou shook his right hand vigorously and said with a good smile.

"Hello, hello! I've been in the biosphere for a year, it's really hard for you!"

With a proud rosy face, Dr. Liang Youcheng said with a hearty smile.

"It's not hard! The automation technology in the biosphere is very mature, and our work is relatively easy! We only have to work six hours a day, rest outside of work, and have broadband access to the Internet. Two months was a bit difficult, but the rest was fine."

The so-called psychological stress test is to test the psychological endurance of astronauts under simulated extreme situations.

For example, in the previous simulation, the researchers assumed that solar flares damaged communication equipment outside the biosphere, artificially cutting off the connection between the biosphere and the outside world for up to two months.

During that time, I couldn’t talk to my family on the phone, and I couldn’t surf the Internet for a certain tone.

For a person who has lived in modern society for twenty or thirty years, this is indeed quite tortured.

Looking at the young astronaut in front of him, Lu Zhou said in a serious tone.

"The situation on Mars will be worse than that on Earth, and it is very likely that you will be there for two or three years. Maybe when you come back after changing shifts, your children will already be in junior high school... Have you thought it through?"

Liang Youcheng straightened his back, raised his chin slightly, and replied in a sonorous voice.

"I've thought about it since the day I joined the space team. As for my son, he will be proud of his father's name!"

Seeing the unshakable expression on the astronaut's face, Lu Zhou gave him a look of approval and nodded slightly.

"It has been an honor to work with you."

"Speaking of which, Academician Lu, I want to ask you something for my comrades in arms. Is it convenient?"

Lu Zhou: "What's the problem?"

"Are we... going to leave soon?"

Looking at the expressions of eager anticipation on the faces of the astronauts in front of him, Lu Zhou froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and replied seriously.

"That's right."

"The Mars manned landing plan will start within a month!"

Looking at the joyful faces of the crowd, he cleared his throat and continued in a serious tone.

"One purpose of my visit to the Northwest this time is to check whether the design of the colony module is up to standard, and the other purpose is to inspect the warriors who are about to go to space for us..."

"That's you!"

"Your performance was outstanding, even exceeding our researchers' expectations! It is clear that you have passed all the tests and have impressed everyone, including me, with the perseverance and courage you have shown in your experiments. Hope you can Keep in mind what you have learned in the experiment, and spread all the beautiful and excellent qualities to the distant starry sky for our civilization."

"Although we are not the first to set foot on the land of Mars, I believe that we will do what they wanted to do but failed to accomplish."

"In the not-too-distant future, because of your bravery, our flag will float forever on the land of Mars."

"Turn the wasteland there into fertile fields, and turn the desert into an oasis!"
