I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 1132: Reclaiming wasteland, farming, and large-scale steel making

After the arrival of the new colonists, the construction of the Martian colony also entered the second stage.
The positioning of the Mars colony by the Star Ring Trade has been built here as a solar system industrial base from the beginning, so the development direction of the second phase of the colony has been quite clear.
Steel is the foundation of industry. If you want to explode capacity on Mars, steel production must keep up.
It ’s not difficult to achieve this on Mars. It ’s just a matter of how much you can smell rust when you bend down and grab a handful of sand. In addition, the development of heavy industry has another advantage, that is, artificially causing the greenhouse effect, indirectly changing the thickness of the Martian atmosphere. After a few centuries, the thickness of Mars ’atmosphere returned to the level of 3 billion years ago under human intervention, and became the second paradise of human beings ...
Of course, these are just words.
In addition to boosting explosive capacity, the population cannot fall.
The labor force is always one of the important factors restricting the development of industry, whether it is the general labor force or the labor force with higher education. Even if automated production can drastically reduce the demand for low-education labor in industrial facilities, it is unlikely to kick humans completely.
Not possible for at least two centuries.
Jiang Chen clearly stipulated two goals in the six-month plan for the Mars colony. The first is that the monthly output of steel must exceed one million tons, and the second is to expand the colony to a thousand people.
It is for this reason that the new colonists who have come to Mars have not had time to savor the exotic atmosphere on Mars. The next day, they carried their brains fainted by drunkenness and took their tools to set foot on themselves. Jobs.
This time the Seagull class transport ship not only brought colonists, but also brought a lot of production tools, such as excavators, cranes, mining equipment, etc. specially designed for the Martian environment by Future People Heavy Industry. The original colonial cabin with a square can only provide 200 living units, and the colonists who arrived later can only live in the rooms they built.
After all, the kind of colony module that can be deployed by airdrop is quite expensive, and it is impossible for the Star Ring Trade to waste all of the colony ’s budget on buying houses for the colonists.
The engineers of the entire colony became busy at once, commanding the construction workers to drive the engineering vehicles to race around the enclosure, and the entire colony became a huge construction site, submerged in the flying dust.
The first expansion started was the soilless cultivation farm, then the spherical water pump, and then the steel mill ...
As the construction machinery was working on the sand dunes, an armored car specially modified for the Martian environment was driven out of the colonial garage and went to the distant horizon ...

Star Circle City, Space Command Center, Mars Colonization Project Department.
After learning that the transport ship arrived on Mars, Jiang Chen came here in a space elevator for the first time, found Kerwin who was inspecting in the command center, and asked him about the status of the Mars colony.
"All our colonists have landed safely?"
"Landing yesterday," Kerwin nodded. "The Seagull-class transport ship has been freed from Mars gravity after circling in synchronous orbit for a week, and is now returning to the Earth-Moon system."
It seems that the colony is developing well.
Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction, and then asked about another matter he cared about.
"What about mine 071? Is there a situation?"
"How can it be so fast," Kerwin shook his head. "Our Marines just started from the colony, and they haven't reached mine 071. Even if they arrive, they can't immediately get the intelligence of the five kilometers deep underground. .According to the plan provided by Hong Zewei, we will first drill a five-kilometer well in the 071 mine site, and then let the drone go down to see the situation. "
Jiang Chen asked, "What do you think there will be?"
Kerwin shook his head helplessly, "I don't know, maybe it's an alien city? Maybe I want it to be an alien grave, or a fossil. If it's a living Martian, It will definitely be a disaster for our colony. "
The traces or relics of "aliens" were found on Mars. Jiang Chen did not know whether this was a disaster or a blessing. On the one hand, he is looking forward to what the colonists on Mars can discover, and on the other hand, he is worried about whether this will bring disaster to the Mars colonization plan of the star ring trade.
Just when Jiang Chen was puzzled, he suddenly remembered that someone might give him an answer.
With a stomach full of doubts, he took the space elevator to the ground the next day.
......
Coro University.
Unlike Sanliu University, which was not much stronger than community colleges, Koro University has now developed into a world-class institution. Both in the academic world and in the enterprise, they have a good influence. Of course, these influences are mainly reflected in the majors of aerospace, new energy, materials science, as for other majors ...
Not to mention.
Remember that when the university was just established, Jiang Chen had opened a public elective course called Cosmology at the invitation of President Rafael Leif, which was considered an addiction to university professors. But since he pulled Hawking's old man away from the wheelchair, his three-minute heat had almost disappeared, so he gave the public elective course to Mr. Hawking, who taught physics.
On the leafy tree-lined trails, there were past faces that were slightly green, and students of different skin colors spoke his familiar language, chatting with clubs, girls, Talk to the professor, talk about where to relax ...
Because it is Saturday, the campus is quieter than ever. At this time, the students will choose to go to the downtown area of Koror city, or buy a boat ticket, go to Penglai city for a couple of days and come back.
Stay in the teaching building. If it ’s not a tyrant, there will be freshmen who have to deal with public elective courses.
When Jiang Chen came, he was very low-key and drove into the campus quietly, without causing too many people's ideas. After making a phone call with Raphael Leif, and learning that Hawking was in class, he drove the car directly to the teaching building.
Waiting for the class at the door, Jiang Chen found Hawking who had just stepped out of the classroom.
It seems very unexpected that he would meet Jiang Chen here, and Hawking walked out with his briefcase slightly stunned.
"... It's a rare guest."
Jiang Chen made a helpless expression, just preparing to speak, Hawking spoke first.
"I guess you have something to ask me?"
This time, Jiang Chen froze for a while, but I did not expect that Mr. Huo actually had the ability to read mind?
"It's true, there is a small work problem ... I don't know if it is inconvenient for you?"
"What's the inconvenience? If I'm inconvenient, I don't know how many scholars have to break the head for this opportunity to answer the question to the executive officer." Hawking said humorously, reaching for the sleeve of Xia Jiangchen, He drew aside, "It's time to eat, let's talk while walking. The cafeteria next to the East Teaching Building is good, and the pine cone pancakes there are quite good. I recommend you to order too."
It ’s time for class. Many students have noticed the two at the door. After recognizing Jiang Chen, some people even took out their phones excitedly and stayed here for fear that they would be treated as giant pandas.
Jiang Chen didn't have the enthusiasm to teach foreign female college students, so he quickly followed Hawking's footsteps and walked outside the building.
