Chapter 1400: The Granary of the Future

Tens of millions of kilometers away from the Earth.

Chen Yushan, who was sitting on the sofa in her living room, was staring intently at the TV screen.

When she saw the landing capsule smoothly falling 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 presenter was heard from the television.

“…… According to the latest news from the Manned Landing Office, the second group of firefighters 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 Martian base and set off in 24 hours to the ruins below the Hell's Gate Mountains to make a second contact with extraterrestrial civilizations......

Han Mengqi, who was also sitting on the sofa and leaning on Chen Yushan's shoulder, also breathed a sigh of relief, turned her face sideways to look at her sister, and said with a smile.

"Sister, I'll just say, Master, he's definitely going to be fine."

"I hope too, just ...... I always feel a little worried," Chen Yushan smiled a little embarrassedly and continued, "Speaking of which, is your movie finished?" ”

Speaking of the movie, Chen Yushan has been looking forward to it very much.

Although according to the director, there will not be too many descriptions of Lu Zhou's love life in it, being able to see the character based on herself appear on the screen still fills her heart with anticipation.

In particular, it is his cousin who plays this role.

This made her look forward to it even more.

Scratching the back of her head, Han Mengqi said vaguely.

"The filming is over, anyway, it has been completed and submitted for review, and if the progress is fast, it should be able to be lined up before the end of the year. Anyway, the crew said that it would be released during the Spring Festival, but it may be advanced or postponed...... I don't know very well. ”

"It's all done?" Looking at her cousin with a surprised face, Chen Yushan continued to ask curiously, "How does it feel about filming?" Are you interested in being a star? ”

"No," Han Mengqi sighed, "I can't talk to the people in the crew at all, it's like I'm not on the same channel...... Sure enough, the lab and library were more suitable for me. ”

may be because of the master's relationship, she always feels that the people in the crew, from the starring role to the trick, are trying to please her intentionally or unintentionally. And it is precisely this that makes her, who is not good at communicating, feel even more uncomfortable.

Every time she finished filming her own shots, 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 finale. Although she also knew that it was not good for her to be unsociable, it was also something that could not be helped.

Looking at her smiling sister, Han Mengqi asked in a whispered with some embarrassment.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just think this sentence is familiar."

Hearing this, Han Mengqi was slightly stunned, and then felt that her cheeks were a little hot.

Not noticing this change, Chen Yushan took her cousin's hand and said with a smile.

"When the end of the year comes, will you come and be my bridesmaid?"

Finally came back to her senses, the expression on Han Mengqi's face was still a little stiff, but she still said with a reluctant smile.

"Bridesmaids? Okay, okay......"

……

Just when the news of the success of Huaguo's second manned landing plan was transmitted back to Earth from Mars, the three functional colonial modules deployed next to the Martian scientific research base had been connected together through silver-white titanium alloy pipes under the operation of the staff of the scientific research station.

So far, the size of the Chinese colonization outpost on Mars has been quadrupled compared to before, and the maximum capacity has also increased from 10 to 25 people.

As the manned landing program continues to advance, this number will be further expanded, until the size of the Martian colony becomes the same as that of today's Guanghan City, and the entire Martian colonization program will enter the next stage.

Eventually, China will build a sustainable ecological base on Mars that can achieve full circulation, which is the ultimate goal of the manned landing roadmap drawn by Lu Zhou.

As he passed by an alloy door with transparent windows, Dr. Romanov, who had followed Dr. Ming Wenzhe around the inside of the base, suddenly stopped and looked inside the door.

Behind the glass window, I saw an extremely spacious greenhouse.

Inside the shed, he could see bottles and jars of liquid and water tanks neatly displayed inside, and through the translucent shell, he could vaguely see the outline of the roots of the plants soaked in the liquid.

Out of curiosity, he asked.

“…… This is? ”

Ming Wenzhe explained.

"Inside is the growing area, which mainly grows some vegetables, potatoes and corn."

Lomonov asked with a surprised look on his face, looking at him in disbelief.

"Will these crops survive?"

"Of course, why would we go to such lengths to grow them?" Ming Wenzhe smiled and said, "These seeds are not ordinary seeds, but space crops that have been cultivated through special breeding technology at the lunar scientific research base. With organic fertilizers, they are not only living well, but also quite gratifying. Although we are still some way from being completely self-sufficient, at least we can already solve the problem of fresh vegetable supply on our own. ”

Staring at the bottles and cans in the greenhouse, Lomonov was silent for a while before he said in an emotional tone.

"It's unbelievable...... Achieving self-sufficiency on Mars was a concept that I always thought was a possible concept in a sci-fi blockbuster. ”

"It's nothing, it's just the beginning, and if you've seen the roadmap of the Mars colonization program published by the Manned Landing Office, it's not hard to see that self-sufficiency is just the beginning. Our ultimate goal is not just to be self-sufficient, but to export food products. Academician Lu even mentioned at the working meeting that one day in the future, this place will be built into the second granary of the earth. ”

The breadbasket of the earth?

Lomonov was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile.

"How is this possible!"

"Abundant fresh water, plenty of light, and air...... There is nothing to ask for here, but it is full of dangerous cosmic rays! ”

"You plan to reclaim this place into 10,000 acres of fertile land? No kidding, that sounds even more incredible than turning the Sahara Desert into an oasis. ”

Looking at the Russian aerospace engineer's expression of disbelief, Ming Wenzhe just smiled faintly and continued without care.

"It's not inconceivable to turn the Sahara into an oasis, it's technically possible. In fact, since before the breakthrough of controlled fusion technology, we have been trying to transform the deserts in the Midwest into artificial habitable belts. With the establishment of the Houyi dui in the central part of the country, this process has also entered the fast lane, and it is expected that the results will be seen in the middle of the twentieth century. ”

Looking at Dr. Lomonov's gradually wavering expression, he paused for a moment and continued.

"As for Mars, of course it's possible. We have not intended to solve everything in the 21st century, but if we look a century or even two centuries from now...... Who's to say? ”

Shocked by Dr. Ming Wenzhe's statement, it took Lomonov a while to recover from the shock and speak slowly.

“…… If you can 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, in fact we're already doing it."

While the two were talking, the signal light of the computer on his wrist, which was worn on Lomonov's right arm, suddenly flashed.

Noticing this, Dr. Ming Wenzhe cast him an inquiring look.

"What's going on?"

"Academician Lu asked us for a meeting, probably to discuss tomorrow's plan of action...... Where is the meeting room? ”

Looking at Dr. Lomonov, Dr. Ming Wenzhe smiled and nodded.

"Just passing by, I'll take you there."
