Chapter 685 - Moon farming
Of course, the other three astronauts are busy installing helium 3 mining equipment. This kind of thing has not yet reached the time when it can be made public, and it will definitely not appear in the live broadcast.
However, it ’s not appropriate for them not to appear in the camera for a long time. Soon they returned to the camera and started another important work. “Audience friends, we can see that the three astronauts are building a closed loop. The loop life support system, this system is the core technology for humans to achieve long-term survival in outer space. It is characterized by the fact that manned aircraft can no longer require little or no ground support after entering outer space, and oxygen, water and food pass through the system. Biotechnology enables regeneration, and astronauts can work and live in the station for a long time, making long-term manned spaceflight and planetary exploration possible. “
“We invited the designer of the system, Professor Liu of the School of Biological and Medical Engineering of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, to introduce the system to us!” For this live broadcast, Chaotingtai contacted many experts, and now the professor Liu also appeared In the studio, he is responsible for introducing this advanced system to audiences across the country.
“In fact, this is not the first time that a life support system has appeared. Constantine Tsiolkovsky, father of the Red Empire and scientist of the Red Empire, once proposed the idea of establishing an environment suitable for human existence on the space station with the help of the biological cycle at the end of the 19th century. That is, based on the principles of the ecosystem, biotechnology and engineering control technology are organically combined to build an artificial ecosystem composed of plants, animals, and microorganisms. Water and food, substances necessary for human life can be recycled within the system, and provide similar for the occupants Due to the ecological environment of the Earth ’s biosphere, humans enter this artificial ecosystem and become the consumer chain of the ecosystem, and at the same time play the role of controller to form a closed artificial ecosystem. “
“This idea was put into practice by the United States and the Red Empire, and two biological regeneration life support systems have been built in succession; and the biosphere plan we are more familiar with can be regarded as a large-scale application of this system!” Professor Liu first recounted the fate of this system. Come, and then show a few pictures, “China has become the third country in the world to establish this system in space, and has already reached the forefront of the world! We have conducted a long test in the Moon Palace Space Station!”
“You can see the panoramic view of the system in this picture. They are composed of two plant cabins and a comprehensive silo!” The building that looks extremely sci-fi is densely packed with several layers of short wheat, peanuts and other grains. There are carrots, green beans, strawberries and other vegetables and fruits. “These plant seeds are high-yielding crops that we have carefully selected in cooperation with the agricultural department to provide astronauts with various nutrients required for survival. In addition, we are still integrating Tenebrio insects are kept in the cabin, which can provide protein to astronauts. “
As soon as these photos came out, netizens were unable to vomit! How much do Chinese people love farming! In the yards of various overseas companies and in the gardens of embassies, the Chinese have opened up land to grow vegetables they like to eat. Now they have brought this spirit to the universe.
“Really there are carrots! Are they going to use them to attract Yutu? There are also strawberries. I’m curious if the strawberries grown on the moon will be sweeter than those grown on the earth!”
“Protest, why not grow rice on the moon! Not happy without rice noodles!”
“This is because rice has an anaerobic period, and methane gas will be produced at this stage, which is not conducive to system circulation!” Xueba, a botanist, explained.
On the TV screen, Professor Liu continued to introduce the situation of the system. “In the previous experiment, our experimenters survived in this system for 104 days, which is enough time for these astronauts to complete the initial mission! You can use the life support system to get the food, oxygen and water you need every day! “
“After the system is built, there is no need to prepare a lot of water and food for them in the subsequent moon launch, which can greatly save space for loading other items!” Professor Liu still has some words not They said that they also used the latest superconducting materials when powering this system, so that this system can be realized. “In addition, we are still working on a new generation of system research! We hope that one day in the future The cost of space planting has been reduced to a level that ordinary people can afford! Greatly alleviate the food crisis caused by reduced arable land and environmental pollution. “
Hey, this idea sounds very good! Think about it, since we Chinese people can farm in all parts of the world, of course we can also grow in the whole universe!
“At that time, we will spread a large area of planting sheds on the moon, and we will plant carrots in Yishui’er, which can be named as” Yutu “carrots, and they are guaranteed to sell hot! It ’s time to ask Matt Damon to advertise this kind of potato! Plant rice on Mercury … “Someone started to come to a special crop plantation of planetary scale from YY, one planet grows a crop, think about it Just feel it!
“Hey, although Mercury’s name carries a word of water! But there is no water on it! How do you grow rice? And the cultivation of a single plant is easy to cause irresistible lesions!” ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ The audiences in other countries see this scene are dumbfounded. Hua Guo really deserves to be a farming civilization with a history of five thousand years! Even if they have entered the industrial society now, they have already landed on the moon, but they still miss the old farm of farming! Living astronauts turned into peasants!
We are not just working as farmers, but our main job is actually working as a worker to mine! If the four astronauts were to hear such comments, would they probably answer that?
In the first phase of the moon landing project, they built a preliminary closed-loop life support system, completed the combination of moon soil excavation robots, and also installed preliminary helium 3 extraction equipment at the base! When they return to Earth after completing the first phase of their work, they will bring back enough helium 3 raw materials for the entire six-month power supply of China.
In the next few years, with the continuous improvement of the permanent moon base of Guanghan Palace, the production of helium 3 will continue to increase; by that time, I am afraid that for a long time no country can break the Chinese The monopoly of key energy! Because even the rice country, they may not have the energy to invest in it now? (~ ^ ~)
