Chapter 513 Development of Mars ([-])
the other side.

Fang Ping held the first working meeting of the Mars Territory in Utopia City. As the current infrastructure and largest Utopia area of ​​the Mars Territory, it was of course determined by the Alliance Council as the temporary capital.

Mars Territory is currently divided into 10 districts, which are Utopia District, Soss-Herik Republic, Northern District, Meridian District, Canyon District, Amazon District, Xinhua District, New Greece District, Southern District, and Satellite District.

However, there are currently complete administrative establishments and city districts. There are only four districts, namely Satellite District, Utopia District, Herik Republic, and Canyon District. The other districts are all in name only.

So in the holographic meeting room, there are only four people including Fang Ping and Sara.

"Everyone, let's talk about the development of the Mars area!" Fang Ping said straight to the point.

"The sailor mass projector in our canyon area will be completed next month, and it will be convenient for us to exchange matter with outer space." Plank, the head of the effect area, said.

Masashi Kishimoto, the head of the satellite area, opened a star map and said: "We need to take advantage of the Martian Territory. After all, the asteroid belt is our jurisdiction, and we can use many mineral resources in it."

"The official history is right. Last year, the mineral resources mining industry in the asteroid belt brought us a tax rebate of 1600 billion. If we can make full use of the mineral resources of these asteroids, we can achieve self-sufficiency as soon as possible. "Fang Ping nodded and said.

"In fact, we have a technology that can be combined into a space ring city by directional cultivation of a silicon-based plant called a space ring tree." Sara said suddenly.

"Oh! What's the space ring tree like?" Fang Ping asked with interest.

Sarah quickly opened the holographic bracelet, and called up the relevant information of the space ring tree from the database of the Soss civilization.

The space ring tree is somewhat similar to the light crystal tree, but it is a silicon-based plant specially modified by the Soss. It can directly and quickly generate a ring-shaped space silicon-based plant in space. Of course, it is best to have A resource-rich asteroid can host it, making it very easy to generate.

The size of this kind of space ring tree can be customized, with a maximum radius of about 610 meters, and then combining each space ring tree can form an orbital ring around the planet.

In the case of abundant resources, the frame construction of an orbital ring can be completed in one or two months, and then it can be transformed inside the orbital ring, which can be used as a factory, port, and life.

"This is the space ring tree..." Sara pointed to the holographic projection and explained.

"How many resources are needed to build a Mars orbital ring?" Fang Ping asked after looking at the information.

"300 to 400 asteroids with a radius of 1 km can complete the framework construction, and the remaining facilities can be replenished slowly." Sara replied.

After discussing with the other two, Fang Ping and the other two decided to build a Mars orbital ring, but the Mars orbital ring not only has the orbital ring part, but also the orbital pillar connecting the planet's ground, which can be used as a space elevator support.

The reason why the Herik planet does not have such an orbital ring is mainly because the Herik planet has no atmosphere and low gravity. In this case, there is no need to erect an orbital ring.

The Alliance Council also agreed with the development plan of the Martian Territory, and approved a development fund of 6000 billion for the Martian Territory.

……

In the silicon-based plant preparation factory in Utopia City, many South researchers and Blue Star researchers are busy. Inside a petri dish with a diameter of more than 10 meters, a silver-gray sphere slightly larger than a basketball is being helped by the instrument. , gradually split.

This is the seed of the space ring tree. Before that, the Soss people kept a total of 137 original species of the space ring tree.

There are a total of 20 petri dishes in the factory, and these petri dishes can divide and reproduce 200 original species a day.

"Director Li Liang, the culture medium is not enough." Chief Engineer Lei Hao said, looking at the inventory.

Li Liang couldn't help but wryly smiled: "How long can we support?"

"About 2 days of production."

"The production factories in the satellite area are not so fast, and the next batch of culture fluid will take about 6 days at the earliest." Li Liang looked at the production arrangement and said.

"Let them hurry up! Otherwise, the production task will be affected." Lei Hao said anxiously.

"I'm already urging them. One of their production equipment broke down a few days ago, and they are waiting for spare parts from Blue Star." Li Liang spread his hands helplessly.

A batch of seeds that have just been split and reproduced are sent into a genetic adjustment cabin, and the staff quickly activates the instrument to adjust the gene sequence of the space ring tree seed. This is a space ring tree seed for ground use. Space is used differently.

the other side.

Sara took Fang Ping to inspect the southern region of Herik Republic, which is the equatorial region of Mars.

The two of them took a flying shark mechanical beast unique to the Republic of Herik, which is a super-large mechanical beast that can float and fly in the air.

On the side are also two flying shark mechanical beasts, but these two flying shark mechanical beasts are engineering models.

Fang Ping looked at the situation below with a telescope: "Is this the ground model ring tree?"

"Yes." Sarah nodded.

At the bottom of the flying shark mechanical beast, an activated ring-shaped tree seed was driven into the ground. After a while, the ring-shaped tree seed grew rapidly, and even the rock formations on the ground were stretched.

The silver-gray branches spread in all directions, and within an hour, the silver-gray branches densely covered an area with a radius of about 5 kilometers.

Fang Ping opened the holographic bracelet and called up the neutrino radar scanning status. It can be seen that the silver-gray branches have spread deep underground.

As the ring-shaped tree seeds were driven into the ground one by one, a silver-gray zone with a width of 10 kilometers and a length of 240 kilometers appeared in the equatorial region of Mars in less than a day.

The length of the Martian equator is about 21331 kilometers (the diameter of the equator is 6790 kilometers). If multiple sections are constructed at the same time, as long as there are enough ring-shaped tree seeds, the construction speed can reach about 1000 to 2000 kilometers a day.

"It seems that at this speed, the construction can be completed in about a month." Fang Ping said with a smile.

"However, the production of ring-shaped tree seeds is insufficient. The equatorial ring of Mars needs two to form enough strength to support the empty ring of Mars' orbit." Sara said spreading her hands.

Fang Ping finally knew how the silver-gray area on the surface of Herik came from. It seems that it was built by planting ring-shaped trees. Silicon-based plants are indeed equivalent to cheating devices to a certain extent. Landforms of terrestrial planets.

In addition to Fang Ping, Sara and others watching the planting of the ring-shaped tree, many experts and scholars watched the planting effect on the spot through the quantum communication system. Obviously, this ring-shaped tree, which can be called a biological miracle, made many people open their eyes. His vision, and at the same time, his eyes lit up.

After seeing the planting effect of this ring-shaped tree, many scholars have consulted the database of the Soss civilization to investigate the relevant information and applications of the ring-shaped tree.

There are also many people who directly asked the scientific researchers of South about this matter. Obviously, the application of this ring tree is definitely very large, which is conducive to the alliance's comprehensive development of the solar system.

Especially the terrestrial planets Mars and Venus, as well as many large natural rocky satellites, can use ring trees to quickly build frameworks.
