Origin of Mars

Chapter 13 Sprouting
Picking up the fire plan, this plan unanimously approved by the multi-party meeting has entered the track of implementation at the fastest speed in history.

The preliminary plan is to use a manned rocket to send two astronauts to Mars, plus the necessary equipment required, the difficulty increases geometrically.

For example, why is the moon landing plan easy to achieve?
Because the average distance from the earth to the moon is about 38 kilometers, but the shortest distance from the earth to Mars is 5500 million kilometers, and the longest distance is more than 4 million kilometers!
What is this concept?
Because of the distance, many problems emerged.The first is the thrust of the spacecraft. To reach Mars, the fuel of the spacecraft must be greatly increased. However, with the increase in its own weight, technicians need to improve the stability and firmness of the spacecraft by more than one level. This is not two times a day. God can solve it.

Moreover, the manned spacecraft is different from the probe. As long as the probe flies into space and can operate normally, the astronauts in the manned spacecraft need to eat, breathe and other normal life needs, even if they start from the closest point to Mars. , Astronauts also need to stay in space for several months and years.

They are not like the space station, which will have supplies from the earth every once in a while. For such a long time, can the fresh water filtration system, food supply system and breathing system operate normally?If any of these links go wrong, the manned spacecraft will become a living grave.

But now, for some reason, these questions have become mandatory options.

This is an absolute order, pressing on AIM and a group of aerospace factories.

Two months later, it is the time when Mars will be closest to the earth.

By then, Yu Han must complete this task.

Regardless of public or private, Yu Han has made up his mind that even if he puts his life on the console, he will send the manned rocket decorated with the Chinese flag into space!

"Old Lin, this is our biggest master camera."

Yu Han pointed to the big screen at the top and introduced Harlem.

In the picture, it is a brand new day on Mars. The lander has not received the control of Fang Liang, and is slowly advancing according to the originally set route. Not far away is the origin base covered with dust. It looks like It's like a huge hill.

"what is that?"

Harlem was keenly aware of the hill and asked.

"The base of the alien civilization."

Lin Lu replied, "I don't know what material it is made of, and we dare not spy on the internal structure."

Harlem shook his head in disbelief, suddenly speechless.

"Photos are not as shocking as real-time pictures."

Yu Han asked the engineer to choose a new forward route, and actually began to circle around the base for surveillance.

"Where did those robots go?"

Harry asked suddenly.

"It should be to investigate or develop other areas of Mars."

Yu Han took a sip of tea, "The researchers who watched all night said that the alien life form left the base before dawn, and it is unclear where it went."

"Are you so sure that it is an alien life form, not something else? For example, a high-precision simulation robot?"

Harlem was puzzled.

"You'll know when you see it."

Yu Han showed a meaningful expression, and did not respond directly to Harlem.

And at this moment, several figures suddenly appeared on the left side of the big screen.

Fang Liang landed slowly, and threw all the ores he was carrying to the gate of the base. The robots behind him also imitated his work one by one, putting the ores away one by one.

The energy in the exoskeleton armor is only half, and such a heavy load also consumes a lot.

The energy in the exoskeleton armor is endowed by the origin base, and a storage compartment of equal length is the charging compartment of the armor.

Fang Liang still doesn't know where the source base's operating energy comes from.

It seems to be a growing plant, rooted in the land of Mars, absorbing nutrients in a strange way.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Liang brought the ore into the origin base one by one, and the mechanical door opened, revealing a silver-white corridor for you to enter.

"How's the seed?"

Entering the base, Fang Liang also saw Zero coming towards him from the laboratory, and asked.

"Four of the eleven edible crop seeds have been awakened, and the remaining seven have not yet awakened, but after testing, they should still be active."

Zero took the ore held on Fang Liang's robotic arm and replied.

"Use these ores first to manufacture a batch of industrial robots, responsible for surveying and digging. Ordnance robots are not in a hurry. After all, there is no danger on Mars at present. The resources in that crater are amazing!"

"understand!"

Zero's pupils flickered, and he had given instructions to the workbench remotely, and now he only needed to deliver the ore.

The initially planned scale of robots was fifty industrial robots and twenty ordnance robots.

But in Fang Liang's view, the number of these robots is far from enough.

Coupled with the workload of building transportation facilities, the number of industrial robots must be too much or too little, but the maintenance work behind this is also a problem, which requires zero careful planning to achieve the most perfect ratio .

When manufacturing industrial robots, Fang Liang could just go and see the awakened seeds.

Coming to the laboratory excitedly, Fang Liang saw semi-cylindrical culture tubes filled with unknown mist, which were sealed into eleven groups. There was no medium, and some seeds were just floating in the mist, crystal clear, Very magical.

The seeds of the third group even had a little green glow, and Fang Liang could only see clearly when he got closer. It turned out that a small leaf had broken through the seed coat, and it seemed to be still shaking slowly, absorbing the mist.

This...has sprouted? ? !
Excited, Fang Liang quickly checked the information of the cultivation tube, and the information of this type of seed immediately appeared on the mask:

[Category III edible crops: bento melon, with a very fast growth cycle, seeds will be produced after maturity, rich in sugar, and require less light]

Attached are 3D cross-sectional pictures of a series of fruits, which look like cantaloupe, but the skin is covered with black spots, which looks a little ugly.

However, its introduction really moved Fang Liang's heart.

The extremely fast growth cycle, as well as the perfect characteristics of high sugar content and low light, perfectly meet Fang Liang's requirements.

You must know that if it is like an ordinary crop on the blue star, the demand for light and temperature is very harsh.

Light directly affects the productivity and quality of crops.

Fang Liang can control the approximate temperature, but the condition of light is not easy to simulate.

This potted melon has become the first plant in Fang Liang's mind to be planted on a large scale.

Generally speaking, things that are ugly are delicious, and hopefully this maxim is borne out on these miracle seeds as well.
