Chapter 1401 Future Granary
Earth tens of millions of kilometers away.
Chen Yushan, who was sitting on the sofa in her living room, was staring at the TV screen intently.
When she saw the landing capsule falling smoothly from the sky and landing on the surface of Mars, her heart hanging in mid-air finally relaxed along with the collapsed alloy door.
The news continued to be shown, and the voice of the host's commentary came from the TV.
"...According to the latest news from the Manned Fire Boarding Office, the second batch of fire boarding personnel has successfully arrived at the scientific research base on the surface of Mars."
"According to the plan, they will take a short rest at the Mars base, and then set off for the ruins below the Hell's Gate Mountains in 24 hours, to make second contact with extraterrestrial civilizations..."
Han Mengqi, who was also sitting on the sofa and leaning on Chen Yushan's shoulder, also heaved a sigh of relief, turned her face to her sister, and said with a beaming smile.
"Sister, let me just say, Master, he will definitely be fine."
"I hope too, but... I still feel a little worried," Chen Yushan smiled a little embarrassedly, and continued, "Speaking of which, have you finished shooting that movie?"
Speaking of the movie, Chen Yushan has been looking forward to it.
Although according to the director, there won't be too many descriptions about Lu Zhou's emotional life, but being able to see a character based on herself on the screen still fills her with anticipation.
In particular, it was my cousin who performed this role.
This made her look forward to it even more.
Scratching the back of her head, Han Mengqi said vaguely.
"The filming is finished. Anyway, it has already been finalized and submitted for review. If the progress is fast, it should be scheduled before the end of the year. Anyway, the crew said that it will be released during the Spring Festival, but it may be earlier or delayed... I am not very clear about it."
"It's all finished?" Looking at her cousin in surprise, Chen Yushan continued to ask curiously: "How does it feel to be filming? Are you interested in becoming a star?"
"No," Han Mengqi sighed, "I can't chat with the crew at all, as if I'm not on the same channel... Sure enough, the laboratory and library are more suitable for me."
Maybe it's because of her master, she always feels that the people in the crew, from the leading role to the secondary, are trying to curry favor with her intentionally or unintentionally. And it was precisely this that made her, who was not good at communication, feel even more uncomfortable.
Every time she finished shooting her own scenes, she didn't want to stay in the crew for even a minute, and she didn't even go to the celebration banquet after the filming. Although she also knew that it was not good for her to be out of group like this, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Looking at her smiling sister, Han Mengqi asked in a low voice with some embarrassment.
"why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing, I just think this sentence is quite familiar."
Hearing these words, Han Mengqi was slightly taken aback, and then felt her cheeks burning hot.
Not noticing this change, Chen Yushan took her cousin's hand and said with a smile.
"Will you be my bridesmaid at the end of the year?"
Finally regaining consciousness, Han Mengqi still had a stiff expression on her face, but she still smiled reluctantly.
"Bridesmaid? Okay, okay..."
...
Just when the news of the success of Huaguo's second manned mission to fire was transmitted from Mars to Earth, the three functional colony capsules deployed next to the Mars scientific research base had passed the The silver-white titanium alloy pipes are connected together.
So far, the scale of Huaguo's colonial outpost on Mars has fully expanded by four times compared to before, and the maximum number of people it can accommodate has also increased from 10 to 25 people.
As the manned fire landing plan continues to advance, this number will further expand until the size of the Mars colony becomes the same as that of Guanghan City today, and the entire Mars colonization plan will enter the next stage.
In the end, Huaguo will build a sustainable ecological base on Mars that can realize a complete cycle, and this is also the ultimate goal of Lu Zhou's manned fire road map.
When passing by an alloy door with a transparent window, Dr. Romanov, who followed Dr. Ming Wenzhe to visit the interior of the base, suddenly stopped and took a look inside the door.
I saw behind that glass window an extremely spacious shed.
In the shed, he could see that bottles, jars and water tanks filled with liquid were neatly displayed inside. Through the translucent shell, he could vaguely see plant roots soaked in the liquid. Outline.
Out of curiosity, he asked.
"……This is?"
Ming Wenzhe explained.
"The inside is the planting area, mainly growing some vegetables, potatoes and corn."
A surprised expression appeared on Lomonov's face, and he looked at him in disbelief and asked.
"Will the crops survive?"
"Of course, why do we have to spend so much effort to plant them?" Ming Wenzhe said with a smile, "These seeds are not ordinary seeds, but have undergone special breeding techniques at the lunar scientific research base. The space crops that come out. With organic fertilizers, they not only live well, but also have a very gratifying growth rate. Although there is still a long way to go from being completely self-sufficient, at least we can already solve the supply of fresh vegetables by ourselves.”
Staring at the bottles and cans in the shed, Lomonov was silent for a while, and then spoke with emotion.
"It's so unbelievable ... self-sufficiency on Mars, I always thought it was a concept that could exist in a science fiction blockbuster."
"It's nothing, it's just the beginning. If you have read the road map of the Mars colonization plan announced by the Manned Fire Office, it is not difficult to find that self-sufficiency is just the beginning. Our ultimate goal is not just self-sufficiency, but outward Export food products. Academician Lu even mentioned at the working meeting that one day in the future, this place will be turned into the second granary of the earth."
The breadbasket of the earth?
Lomonov froze for a moment, then said with a smile.
"How can this be!"
"Abundant fresh water resources, sufficient light, and air... There is nothing here, but it is full of dangerous cosmic rays!"
"You plan to reclaim ten thousand acres of fertile land here? Don't be kidding, this sounds even more incredible than turning the Sahara Desert into an oasis."
Seeing the disbelieving expression on the Russian aerospace engineer's face, Ming Wenzhe just smiled lightly and continued talking indifferently.
"It is not unbelievable to transform the Sahara into an oasis, and it is still technically possible. In fact, since the breakthrough of controllable fusion technology, we have been trying to transform the desert in the Midwest into a man-made habitable zone. .And with the establishment of Houyidui in the central part, this process has also entered the fast track, and it is expected to see results in the middle of the 21st century."
Seeing Dr. Lomonov's gradually shaken expression, he paused for a moment and continued.
"As for Mars, of course it is also possible. We have not planned to solve all the problems in the 21st century, but if we look forward to a century or even two centuries later... who can say?"
Shocked by what Dr. Ming Wenzhe said, it took Lomonov a while to recover from the shock, and he spoke slowly.
"...If you can really do it, it will be a miracle in the history of human civilization."
Ming Wenzhe said with a smile.
"Of course we can do it, and in fact we're already doing it."
While the two were talking, the signal light on the wrist-mounted computer on Lomonov's right arm suddenly flickered.
Noticing this, Dr. Ming Wenzhe cast him a questioning look.
"What happened?"
"Academician Lu asked us to have a meeting, probably to discuss tomorrow's action plan... May I ask where the meeting room is?"
Looking at Dr. Lomonov, Dr. Ming Wenzhe nodded with a smile.
"It's just passing by, I'll take you there."
