Chapter 258 Space Bacteria
After all, Lu Chen's expectation for this space city is that it can satisfy the basic ecological cycle in an environment that is isolated from the outside world.

This is not an easy task.

Regardless of the 420-ton structure of the International Space Station, it can support three or even seven astronauts to survive for several years.

But that is the precursor of the earth's continuous replenishment of supplies.

Once the earth cuts off its resources, try again!
so.

The International Space Station is just a space station for scientific research. Not to mention the space city that Lu Chen wants to build, it is still far behind the space port.

now.

Tianshu, which is in geosynchronous orbit, has basically escaped the influence of the earth's gravity.

After starting the engine again, its speed soared rapidly under the environment of no gravity and no resistance.

But on a cosmic scale.

Only the four dazzling engine flames on its tail can be seen, other than that, it seems to be floating in space and motionless.

Actually.

But it is rapidly approaching the f-1704 planet.

The mission of Tianshu's trip is not to mine on the f-1704 planet, but to explore the specific information of this mineral planet.

After all, the space city construction committee now has information about this planet, all of which are speculated through satellite telescope observations.

There must be a huge difference with the situation of field investigation.

The purpose of Tianshu's trip is to verify the reliability of the information obtained by Ling's observation, so as to formulate the next step.

If you don’t care about it, next time you come to the f-1704 planet with mining equipment, you will find that there are actually only minerals on the surface, and there are other substances in the interior.

Wouldn't it be a joy in vain?
Coupled with the fact that the remaining energy of the Tianshu is quite sufficient and the performance of the spacecraft is stable, Lu Zhou simply approved this operation.

The significance of this exploration operation is very great.

This will determine their space city construction committee, which method will be used to transport the materials for the construction of the space city.

If this planet is full of the minerals they need.

Needless to say, it must be space mining and space processing to provide building materials for the space city.

If not!
Then Lu Zhou and the others will have to reconsider.

Whether it is looking for new mineral planets in space again, or they have to transport mineral materials from the earth to geosynchronous orbit, they have to study carefully.

Subsequent construction plans may be completely disrupted.

The time for the completion of the space city will also be further delayed.

Although the net weight of Tianshu is as high as 6.2 tons, it is a giant on the earth.

But in the space environment, it is as small as a speck of dust, inconspicuous.

of course.

For the crew of the Tianshu, the Tianshu is big enough,
At least fifteen of their crew members can run happily inside the Tianshu without any problem.

The combined area of ​​the cockpit of the Tianshu, including the crew quarters, is about 1500 square meters.

Every crew member can enjoy a single dormitory with an area of ​​up to [-] square meters, which can be said to be quite luxurious.

Compared with the crew's activity space, more than 99% of the space on the Tianshu is a non-human activity area used to transport materials.

These areas are all places where octopus robots work.

Unlike the crew activity area, the material transportation area is all in a non-gravity environment, and the materials inside are all bound by special structures to reduce energy consumption.

After all, creating artificial gravity anytime and anywhere, especially in such a large area, consumes a lot of energy.

This is why it is said that human beings are far less adaptable to the space environment than silicon-based life.

In the material transportation area, the octopus robot can completely walk on the ground, and its flexibility is even more exaggerated than on the earth.

blink of an eye.

A day has passed.

The crew of Tianshu who sat in the wheelhouse felt a slight vibration.

They knew that this was a normal reaction when the spacecraft slowed down as it approached its target.

really.

On the main control screen of the holographic projection, the speed of the Tianshu continued to decrease.

Apparently the destination is almost there.

"Everyone! We are almost there, get ready for landing!"

After finishing speaking, the captain of the Tianshu quickly leaned back on the seat, and tied him tightly to the seat with the seat belt.

Wait until everyone fastens their seat belts.

The continuously rotating cockpit stopped slowly, and everyone suddenly felt that they lost their body weight, and they were so light, if it wasn't for the seat belts binding them.

Now they can all float in the air in the cockpit.

Regarding the scene in front of them, the people who have undergone weightlessness training did not panic, but calmly and steadily checked the various performances of the take-off ship, making final preparations for the landing of the spaceship.

This is the first time Tianshu has landed on this mineral planet.

Calculated from the pictures observed by Ling, the asteroid they named f-1704 has a maximum diameter of 103.1 kilometers and a minimum diameter of only 7.4 kilometers.

To be honest, with such a "small" planet, with the size of Tianshu, it is really difficult to stop on it.

Tianshu has a net weight of 6.2 tons, a wingspan of 103 meters and a length of 274.5 meters.

Such a large spaceship, parked on such a "small" planet, anyway, relying on their group of non-professional spaceship crews, it is probably a bit difficult.

But it's okay.

The existence of the crew of the Tianshu is more of a group of people who maintain the spacecraft and test the performance of the spacecraft. Their original identity is the core scientific research personnel who developed this spacecraft.

Not the pilot of the spaceship.

Strictly speaking, the pilot of this spaceship is an artificial intelligence.

Although the artificial intelligence of the Tianshu can't be compared with Ling, it is also a brand new artificial intelligence born on the basis of Ling's clone and edited by the Academy of Civilization Sciences.

It can be said.

This is an artificial intelligence second only to Ling in Civilization Science City.

Of course, its power is only manifested in the control of the Tianshu.

Just like artificial intelligence in smart unmanned factories, its power is only manifested in industrial production.

In the entire Civilization Science City, there is only one AI that is omnipotent like Ling.

Lu Chen and the others didn't dare to let another Ling be born.

One Ling made them a little scared, and another one would increase the probability of problems.

Besides, Ling alone can fully meet all the research needs of the Civilization Academy of Sciences.

In the dark of space.

Tianshu slowly approached the f-1074 asteroid.

Finally, under the control of Tianshu's intelligent brain, Tianshu docked steadily on a plain of the planet.

inside the cockpit.

Seeing that the Tianshu had come to a stop, the crew breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they have full confidence in the Tianshu artificial intelligence they created, it is the first time for them to dock on the surface of an asteroid.

Plus this asteroid is a flying planet.

If Tianshu wants to dock, it must ensure that it reaches a relatively static speed with this asteroid.

This point, relying on their driving skills, is absolutely impossible to do.
