I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 1093: Mars Raiders

The boxy colony is like a building lying upside down. As the center of the entire colony, this is the main place for the colonists to live, work, socialize and entertain, with all the facilities.

Around this colony cabin, there are four spherical structures made of graphene materials, connected by a single thick and thin pipeline to the colony cabin. Don't underestimate the four spherical buildings, this is the lifeline of the entire colony.

As we all know, Mars is a planet covered by desert and volcanic ash. The intuitive impression is that this is an extremely arid planet.

However, the opposite is true. As early as several years ago, NASA concluded from the data returned by the Mars Rover Curiosity that Mars not only lacks water but also has abundant water resources! It's just that most of this water is brine, and most of it is buried in the ground or infiltrated in the sand layer, so you can't drink it directly.

But this is not a problem for Xinghuan Trading. As long as there is water, there must be a way to turn it into drinkable water. The four spherical buildings are nothing else, their meaning is equivalent to the colonial pumps, or the kind with its own filtering capacity.

The site of the colony was originally on the lake bed where the paleo sedimentary facies can be observed, and there must be no shortage of water under the feet. These four spherical water pumps first pump the underground brine into the spherical water storage tank, then filter it, and then continuously feed the colony tank through the pipeline.

Water is the source of life. Whether drinking water is self-sufficient is the key to achieving self-sufficiency in the Martian colony.

After the water, it is oxygen.

The oxygen content of Mars is astonishingly low, and billions of years of oxygen has either ran away, or it has gone to the ground with the elemental iron. Fortunately, there is an atmosphere here. There is no oxygen but carbon dioxide. Solving the oxygen problem is much easier than the moon. You do n’t have to use electrolyzed water to waste electricity. After all, there is no helium 3 on Mars, and the energy is still expensive.

The problem of oxygen can be solved with food.

The main component of the Martian atmosphere is carbon dioxide, then nitrogen, oxygen and water vapor are almost negligible. For animals, this is hell, but for plants, this is heaven!

Of course, this is not to say that plants can be planted directly on Mars, and not to mention how cold the surface of Mars is. Being in a pure carbon dioxide environment for a long time will also cause plants to "light adapt", which will hinder crop growth.

But as long as the nitrogen dioxide is used to control the carbon dioxide concentration of the plantation, it is easy to maintain the crops in the plantation under the optimal carbon dioxide concentration. With the appropriate amount of water supply and ultraviolet light, the growth rate of the crop is simply not necessary. Too fast!

The only shortcoming is that the pre-investment is a little higher. For the ration of these 20 people, the cost of the entire set of equipment has reached hundreds of millions. If it is placed on the earth, S $ 100 million is enough to open up a good field of hundreds of thousands of acres.

In the future Mars colony, Jiang Chen still intends to position itself as an industrial base, waiting for the shipbuilding process of future heavy industry, Xinghuan Trading will get a few more "Seagulls" to expand the capacity, and food will be shipped directly from the earth. Without such a large grain silo, it would be uncomfortable to go to the desert to farm.

Not to mention, Guanghan City has at least the advantage of low electricity cost, and it is understandable to plant some food to ease the pressure of supply. There is neither helium 3 nor pure water on Mars, and you will lose as much as you produce.

Of course, Jiang Chen had not thought about transforming Mars into a terrestrial planet before. Or it ’s not just him. Someone had proposed a plan to transform Mars long ago.

One of the most famous is Elon Musk, the CEO of Spacex who has always missed Mars. I have to say that this product is a genius. He proposed a terrifying method of constantly throwing nuclear bombs at the poles of Mars. Nuclear explosion melts dry ice, thickens the atmosphere, causes the greenhouse effect, melts more dry ice, and continues to thicken the atmosphere ... The central idea of ​​the whole method is to use the nuclear bomb to pry the lever of the greenhouse effect, although listening to some evil demons feeling, But in theory it makes sense, and it is simple and crude.

Jiang Chen just thought about it, and then gave up the idea.

There is no other reason. It is too slow to play like this. It is easy to pry this "lever", but do n’t think about it for thousands of years. The most important thing is that the uncertainty of this plan is too large, and Mars is the most important part of the plan of the Star Ring Trade to form an "invincible fleet". If it is not fun, there will be no place to cry. go with.

Of course, although the plan to change the Martian landscape in the short term has been abandoned, this does not mean that Jiang Chen completely abandoned the plan to transform Mars into a terrestrial planet.

The north of the colony cabin is conveniently a plantation. It is the largest building in the entire colony except the colony cabin. It is connected to the storage tank and the colony cabin by pipelines.

In this plantation of about two acres, there is also a small biological laboratory. Two of the twenty colonists who accompanied him were two biologists, and the research task Jiang Chen gave them included a difficult and great task.

That is to develop a bacterium that can survive in the Martian environment.

This bacterium must be anaerobic, must adapt to a low-gravity environment, can withstand the low temperature of Baidu Baidu, it is best to keep heating, and it must withstand continuous ultraviolet radiation ... This super bacteria looks like a fantasy However, Jiang Chen, who has witnessed the "familial history" of a harmonious civilization, is quite optimistic about the prospects of biotechnology.

It's just that he was mostly invisible on the day when Mars was overgrown with grasslands. No matter how optimistic this is, it is also a millennium project. At most, he is a good start, and the specific implementation can only be handed over to his descendants.

Before reappearing the blue 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 kill the next millennium.

......

After leaving the command center, Jiang Chen received a call from the presidential palace. Just half an hour ago, the White House of the United States called the new country ’s presidential palace 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 about the destiny of the earth, it should not be discussed by several countries, but put on the table for everyone to participate in the discussion, and all countries should discuss and formulate strategies against extraterrestrial civilizations.

In short, what kind of outer space security summit we have also been convened, and the issue is directly discussed at the United Nations.

The phone call from the White House was just finished, and then the United Kingdom and France also called, expressing the same meaning and attaching a sentence, which is the premise for the next round of negotiations to start. The implication is that if this matter is not discussed at the United Nations, then we will not talk about it!

After hearing this news, Jiang Chen's lips sneered.

He knows exactly what these people are doing.

If you want to talk about the influence of the United Nations, I am afraid that no country in the world can match the US imperialism.

Otherwise, Britain in Wuchang wears a pair of trousers with the United States. Although France and the United States work against the United States from time to time, the two sides have reached consensus on key issues, otherwise Europe has long been an independent portal for defense. Where else is NATO.

It seems fair to discuss at the United Nations, but it is actually a big pit.

You do n’t have to think about it. Once this issue is discussed at the United Nations, it is absolutely impossible to talk about any results. First of all, the new country simply does not have the right to speak with power, and then Xinghuan Trading is an enterprise, and it is not even qualified to appear in the seats of the United Nations.

The main leader is not here, holding a large group of small nations who do n’t even understand what aerospace is, and can you discuss the outcome? Does the United States think that what resolution the United Nations will make, Jiang Chen will squeeze his nose and recognize it?

The United Nations really has such a hang, North Korea has given up its nuclear weapons very soon!

Why the space elevator was made by me, and the moon colony was also made by me? The aerospace industry of the Star Ring City ’s hundreds of billions of production value is all brought by me. Even the asteroid mining is still brought by me. Now I have to go to your house to discuss how to use my own things? Let you be the boss?

Are you really your NASA or the NASA of the Nixon era?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen hardly hesitated and made a decision immediately. (To be continued.)
