Chapter 826 Supplies
The space suits they were wearing were countless times lighter than those in previous space missions.
But after all, the spacesuit is a little thicker, and it is far more inconvenient to wear than ordinary clothes.
After talking about the space suit, Jiang Cheng began to take a closer look at the environment inside the base.
At this time, the person in charge of the base also began to entertain them: Welcome to the Mars base, everyone will live here in the next time.
Let me introduce this place to you. The Mars base is quite big, so I need to show you around it. "
Under the leadership of the person in charge of the Mars base, Jiang Cheng and his party walked into the base.
This permanent Mars base covers a large area, and all buildings are made of pot iron, so that they can withstand the extreme climate on Mars.
In order to build this permanent base, Jiang Cheng invested a lot of resources on Mars.
However, these invested resources have not been wasted, and the current huge base is the best proof.
Since the base is a fully enclosed structure, the entire base is connected by buildings one after another.
Each building is connected by passages, which can lead directly to any place in the base.
The entire base is actually a huge building, but from the outside it looks like a group of buildings connected by passages.
This design makes the internal structure of the base extremely complex. If there is no one to lead the way, it will be really easy for first timers to see them off.
That's why the person in charge of the Mars base volunteered to be a tour guide, just to help Jiang Cheng and the others understand the environment here as quickly as possible.
Next here is the command center for the construction of the Mars city, where all astronauts will live.
Jiang Cheng and the others also have to direct the entire project here and issue countless orders and requirements here.
It can be said that the future Mars city will be built based on the entire base.
This Mars base is where they will stay for a long time in the future, and it is also the main site for the Mars city construction project.
If they don't even know where they will work in the future, how will Jiang Cheng and the others carry out their work?
Therefore, the internal environment of Zhang Zhang's Mars base was Jiang Cheng's first mission after arriving on Mars.
The person in charge of the base led Jiang Cheng and the others through buildings of different sizes one after another.
When passing these buildings, the person in charge of the base would introduce the situation here to Jiang Cheng and the others and tell them what the equipment here does.
Different buildings have their own functions, and there are also equipment and machines that are not provided in them.
Some buildings are responsible for providing breathing air inside the base, and several air circulation and evolution equipment are installed inside.
Some buildings are responsible for the energy supply inside the base. In the middle of the building is a fusion reactor, which outputs electrical energy all the time.
There are also other buildings, each with different functions. The deer of these buildings are different, but they all serve this base.
Of course, the largest building in the base is also indispensable, the huge hemispherically illuminated building.
This bright hemispherical building can be said to be the most conspicuous building in the entire Mars base, and it is also the most important building in the base.
Because this building is called the ecological planting area, it is responsible for supplying food sources within the entire base.
Now Jiang Cheng and the others came to this ecological plantation park to see its operation.
As soon as Jiang Cheng walked into this transparent building, he saw the scenery on Mars outside.
The transparent design is intended to take advantage of Martian sunlight to provide plants with the necessary vision.
Of course, the sunshine on Mars is still not enough, and some artificial supplementation is needed.
The huge light bulbs installed on the top of the ecological planting area exist for this purpose.
Jiang Cheng and the others have been in the base for a long time, and they just ate in the hall.
meal.
Because this base is so big, Meng Xie wasted a lot of their time here.
It is now night on Mars, and the starry sky on Mars can already be seen outside.
Shisu saw the bright stars in the sky through the transparent walls of the ecological plantation area.
The starry sky on Mars looks completely different from that on Earth. Since Mars is in a different location than the Earth, of course the starry sky is completely different.
In addition to the obvious changes in the positions of the painted stars, the starry sky on Mars looks significantly brighter than that on Earth.
Because the atmosphere of Mars is countless times thinner than that of Earth, and there is no industrial pollution on Mars, the stars on Mars look particularly bright.
Under the bright starry sky outside, the entire ecological planting area was dyed a layer of silvery white, which looked extremely beautiful.
Jiang Chengxian walked to the center of the plantation under the beautiful starlight and went down to take a look at the crops grown in the ground.
After observing the growth of crops here, Jiang Cheng stood up and began to ask about the specific conditions here.
What is the crop yield here? How many types of food are produced, and how many people can be provided with daily needs?"
Jiang Cheng asked about the cultivation of crops here. Food is always people's biggest concern.
The person in charge of the base standing next to Jiang Cheng, when he heard that his boss Jiang Cheng was asking questions, hurriedly recalled the recent records here.
When he recalled the data of the plantation, he quickly replied: "The crop yield here was not very high at the beginning, but after a few years of development, the current output is very considerable.
"Now it can provide several staple foods and more than a dozen side dishes, and the variety is relatively rich.
After saying this, he stretched out his hand and valued a few guys next to the plantation, and then continued to say to Jiang Cheng: "We also carry out livestock breeding over there, which can provide a certain amount of meat supply.
"Now our ecological plantation can provide daily food needs for 500 people, which can basically meet the needs of the people inside the base.
After listening to the introduction of the person in charge of the base, Jiang Cheng nodded to indicate that he already understood that it could provide food supply for the survival of 500 people, and the achievements made here were quite good.
The food consumed by 500 people every day is a huge number, and it is the best thing that the base can be self-sufficient.
Of course, the food produced here cannot meet the subsequent consumption.
Because he brought thousands of astronauts with him this time, which far exceeded the supply limit here.
Although the ecological planting area in the base could not meet their needs for building a city on Mars.
But Jiang Cheng did not want to let the astronauts go hungry, and he had already prepared relevant supplies.
