The square colonial cabin is like a building with an upside down. As the center of the entire colony, it is the main place for colonists to live, work, socialize and entertain, and all kinds of facilities are available.
Around this colonial cabin, there are four spherical buildings of graphene material, connected to the colonial cabin by a pipeline of thickness, thickness.
Don't underestimate these four spherical buildings, this is the lifeline of the entire colony.
As we all know, Mars is a planet covered with deserts and volcanic ash, giving people the intuitive impression that it is an extremely arid planet.
However, the fact is just the opposite. As early as a few years ago, NASA concluded based on the data returned by the Curiosity Mars rover that Mars not only does not lack water, but also has a lot of water resources!
However, most of these waters are brine, and most of them are buried underground or seeped into the sandy and soil layer, so they cannot be drunk directly.
However, this is not a problem for Star Ring Trade. As long as there is water, there will definitely be a way to turn it into drinkable water.
The four spherical buildings are nothing else, and their meaning is equivalent to the colonial pump, or the kind with its own filtering capacity.
The colony site was originally located on a lake bed where ancient sedimentary facies could be observed, and there was definitely no shortage of water under the feet.
These four spherical water pumps first pump the underground brine into the spherical water storage compartment, then filter it, and finally transport it to the colonial compartment through the pipeline.
Water is the source of life. Whether drinking water can achieve self-sufficiency is the key to achieving self-sufficiency in Mars colonies.
After water, oxygen is the one.
The oxygen content on Mars is so low that it has either run away or become a base with the iron elements all over the ground.
Fortunately, there is an atmosphere here, which has no oxygen but carbon dioxide. It is much easier to solve the oxygen problem than the moon. There is no need to waste electricity by electrolyzing water. After all, there is no helium 3 on Mars to mine, so energy is quite expensive.
The oxygen problem can be solved with food.
The main components of the Martian atmosphere are carbon dioxide, followed by nitrogen, oxygen and water vapor are almost negligible.
For animals, this place is hell, but for plants, this place is paradise!
Of course, this does not mean that plants can be planted directly on Mars. Not to mention how cold the surface of Mars is, being in a pure carbon dioxide environment for a long time will also lead to light adaptation in plants, thereby hindering crop growth.
However, as long as nitrogen is used to control the carbon dioxide concentration of the plantation, it is easy to maintain the crops in the plantation at the optimal carbon dioxide concentration. With appropriate amount of water supply and ultraviolet light, the growth rate of the crops should not be too fast!
The only disadvantage is that the initial investment was a little higher. Just for the food rations of these 20 people, the cost of the entire set of equipment would be hundreds of millions.
If placed on the earth, 100 million Singapore dollars would be enough to reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land.
In the future, Jiang Chen planned to position it as an industrial base in the Mars colony. When the shipbuilding process of the future Renhe Heavy Industry will be used to expand its capacity, Star Ring Trade will only transport grain from the earth directly.
It’s so uncomfortable to have such a large granary not developed, and it’s simply uneasy to have to farm in the desert.
Not to mention anything else, Guanghan City has the advantage of low electricity costs, so it is understandable to plant some food to alleviate the pressure of replenishing the supply pressure.
There is no helium 3 and no pure water on Mars, so you will lose as much as you produce.
Of course, Jiang Chen had never thought about transforming Mars into an Earth-like planet before.Or it's not just him, someone has proposed a plan to transform Mars a long time ago.
The most famous of them is Elon Musk, CEO of Spacex, who has always been obsessed with Mars.
I have to say that this guy is a genius, and he proposed the shocking method of constantly throwing nuclear bombs into the poles of Mars.
The nuclear explosion melts dry ice, thickens the atmosphere, leading to a greenhouse effect, melting more dry ice, and continuing to thicken the atmosphere... The central idea of the whole set of methods is to use nuclear bombs to leverage the lever of the greenhouse effect. Although it sounds like a bit evil and heretic, it makes sense in theory and is simple and crude.
However, Jiang Chen thought about it and then gave up on this idea.
There is no reason. It is too slow to continue playing like this. It is easy to leverage this leverage, but you don’t even think about it without thousands of years.
The most important thing is that the uncertainty factor of this plan is too great, and Mars is the most important part of the plan to form the Invincible Fleet in the future. If a person is not fun and takes off, he will have no place to cry.
Of course, although he gave up the plan to change the Martian landform in the short term, this does not mean that Jiang Chen completely gave up the plan to transform Mars into a terrestrial planet.
The north of the colonial cabin is a plantation, which is the largest building in the entire colony except the colonial cabin, and is connected by pipelines to the water storage cabin and the colonial cabin respectively.
There is also a small biological laboratory located in this plantation covering an area of about two acres.
Among the twenty colonists who accompanied them were biologists, and the research topics assigned to them by Jiang Chen included a arduous and great task.
That is to develop a bacteria that can survive in the Martian environment.
This bacteria must be anaerobic, adapt to a low gravity environment, can withstand low temperatures of minus 100 degrees Celsius, and it is best to keep heating up, and tolerate continuous ultraviolet rays... This super bacteria seems like a fantasy, but Jiang Chen, who has witnessed the history of making a fortune in harmony and civilization, is quite optimistic about the prospects of biotechnology.
However, he probably couldn't see the day when the grassland was covered with grassland. No matter how optimistic it was, it was a thousand-year project.
At most, he has a good start. If he implements it in detail, he can only leave it to his descendants to complete it.
Before reappearing the clear water and blue sky of Mars 4.3 billion years ago, he had to cover the desert with factories and use steel and blood to break out for thousands of years to come.
……
After leaving the command center, Jiang Chen received a call from the Presidential Office. Just half an hour ago, the White House called the Presidential Office of the New Nations and expressed his willingness to start the second round of negotiations.
But they put forward a seemingly reasonable additional condition.
Since it is a negotiation that concerns the fate of the earth, several countries should not discuss it behind closed doors, but should be placed on the table for everyone to participate in the discussion, and all countries should jointly discuss and formulate strategies to fight against extraterrestrial civilizations.
In short, we have also been held as an outer space security summit, and we have directly put the issue on the United Nations to discuss it.
The White House phone number was just completed, and then the UK and France also called to express the same meaning, and attached a sentence, which is the premise for the next round of negotiations to start.
What this means is that if this matter is not discussed at the United Nations, then we won’t discuss it!
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen sneered a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
He knew very well what these people were planning.
If we talk about the influence of the United Nations, I am afraid that no country in the world can compare to the United States.
Not to mention anything else, the United Kingdom in the Five Constant People wears a pair of pants with the United States. Although France faces the United States from time to time, the two sides have reached a consensus on key issues. Otherwise, Europe would have established its own defense, so there is no matter what NATO is going on.
Discussions at the United Nations seem fair, but in fact they are a big pit.
No need to think about it. Once this issue is discussed at the United Nations, it is absolutely impossible to reach any result.
First of all, the new country has no right to speak with its strength at all. Then Star Ring Trade is an enterprise and is not even qualified to appear in the seat of the United Nations.
The main owners are not here, and they are holding a large group of small countries that don’t even understand what aerospace is. What results can you discuss?
Does the United States think that Jiang Chen will pinch his nose and accept it if the United Nations makes any resolution?
The United Nations is really so arrogant that North Korea has long given up its nuclear weapons!
Why is the space elevator made by me, I also built the moon colony, I also brought the aerospace industry with a output value of 100 billion yuan in Star Ring City, and I even took you on the road with asteroid mining. Now I have to go to your house to discuss how to use my own things?
Let you be this boss?
Do you really think your NASA or the NASA of the Nixon era?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen had almost no hesitation and immediately made a decision.
