Chapter 425, the power of technology

Mars 1 Base.

"Haha, I've finally waited for you!"

Wang Wei looked at Sun Zilong and Zhou Yu who had just arrived, and happily opened his arms.

"Go, go~"

"Did you take a shower on Mars?"

Sun Zilong simply pushed Wang Wei away and said with a look of disgust.

"Haha, that's right, that's right."

Zhou Yu immediately started laughing happily.

"Just kidding, if we can't solve a small problem like taking a bath, why are we still thinking about the stars and the sea?"

When Wang Wei heard this, he was speechless and said, "Let's go, I will take you to visit our Mars 1 base, which is also the most complete base now."

"Living here is actually not much different from living on earth."

With that said, Wang Wei took Zhou Yu and Sun Zilong to visit the Mars 1 base.

From now on, the three of them will be in charge of Mars, and will be responsible for all matters on Mars. Zhou Yu is responsible for the construction of the warp engine, Sun Tzu Long is responsible for the construction and operation of the spaceship factory and the smelting factory, and Wang Wei is responsible for everything.

He is responsible for the construction of a controllable nuclear fusion reactor to provide powerful power for warp spacecraft.

So Wang Wei wanted to take these two people on a tour, and at the same time there were a lot of things that needed to be explained.

"All of our water resources on Mars are mined from the North and South Pole of Mars. Fortunately, there is a large amount of water resources on Mars, so we can quickly build such a huge base on Mars.

, come out of Space City.”

"If there is no water on Mars and it needs to be transported from the Earth, this water resource alone will be an extremely headache. Water and electricity are indispensable for industry."

Wang Wei took the two of them to the control center of Mars 1 Base. This is the core hub of Mars 1 Base and can control all areas in the entire base.

The virtual machine was connected to the central computer of Base No. 1, and as Wang Wei's thoughts moved, a picture was immediately played on the huge monitor.

This is a huge shallow reservoir buried underground.

"This is the reservoir of our Base No. 1, which can also be said to be the tap water factory. It is dug directly on the flat land of this mountain."

"Every day we have a special water-carrying spacecraft that goes to the South Pole of Mars to extract water from under the dry ice layer in the South Pole of Mars, and then transports it here."

"The water on Mars cannot be used directly because it contains a large number of Martian microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, etc., so the first thing we need to do is to use the sun's ultraviolet rays for a long time to eliminate most of them

Microorganisms, bacteria, viruses and the like.”

"Then we enter the distillation and filtration environment, and obtain clean pure water through distillation and filtration. After our testing, we eliminate some of the gas contained in it, and then repeat the distillation several times. After filtration, we can get

I am completely assured of pure water.”

Wang Wei introduced the whole process in detail, and then said very proudly: "The water resources in our Base No. 1 are absolutely sufficient. In addition to exploiting the water resources in the Arctic and Antarctic, we also have the most advanced water circulation system.

This greatly saves water resources.”

"We also have a swimming pool here. You can try swimming on Mars. It's pretty good."

"And a swimming pool?"

"When I came here, I was prepared to work hard. I was prepared not to take a shower for ten days and a half, but I didn't expect that I would have such a luxury of having a swimming pool."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately laughed happily.

When we were at the moon base, it was not a pleasant life. We almost always hid in the dark underground base. After a long time, we could no longer distinguish between day and night.

What's more critical is that the water resources on the lunar base are very scarce. Because the moon has no water, all water resources need to be transported from the earth, which greatly consumes the transportation capacity of spacecraft between the earth and the moon.

Even Xinghai Technology, which has always been luxurious, has to use water resources carefully at the lunar base. As for the lunar mining bases of some other companies, water is even more economical.

Try to save what you can. It is often common for people working in these bases not to take a shower for ten and a half months, so that there is a special smell permeating these bases, and they have to use a lot of perfume.

.

There is no way, water resources are really scarce and very expensive. To transport water from the earth to the moon, a bottle of mineral water costs dozens of yuan.

Other companies will not be as luxurious as Xinghai Technology. They take care of their employees and save as much expenses as possible.

"If there was no water on Mars, I estimate it would really take us ten days and a half to take a bath."

Wang Wei laughed. He had also been to the Mars base. It was very depressing after staying in that kind of place for a long time.

"This is the agricultural area and open-air area inside our base."

"We erected this huge dome directly between a grand canyon. Thanks to the existence of anti-gravity aircraft, we were able to complete this work easily."

Wang Wei's thoughts moved, and the picture on the monitor in front of him changed again, and a picture of a long and huge canyon appeared.

This grand canyon is several kilometers long and hundreds of meters wide, but it is not deep, with an average depth of only more than thirty meters.

I saw that the top of this canyon was entirely covered with special tempered glass, isolating the canyon from the time outside. Outside was the extremely desolate Mars.

Inside the canyon is a lively and lively scene.

A large number of crops are planted inside, and you can even see various fruit trees and various green plants, forming a vibrant world.

You can also see a large number of employees walking, relaxing, and exercising leisurely inside. Obviously, this is everyone's favorite area.

"How about these fruits and vegetables grown on Mars?"

Sun Zilong looked at the fruits and vegetables in the picture, thought about it and asked.

"It's not much different from the earth. You can taste it slowly in the future."

Wang Wei smiled and said.

"This is the industrial area of ​​Base 1. Currently, steel can be smelted and processed, but the output is still unsatisfactory. The main reason is that it is not convenient to mine iron ore on Mars. There are often very large iron ore mines on Mars.

Hurricanes pose a huge threat."

"So next, the first thing we have to do is to go to asteroids to mine asteroids. Many projects now lack steel. If we expect to transport it from the earth, the cost is too high. Moreover, the company's spacecraft is very

Tight."

The screen switched again, to the industrial area of ​​Base 1. The industrial area was set up in an area outside the mountains. Spaceships were constantly transporting iron ore mined on Mars to smelt steel.

Steel is the main building material here on Mars.

Whether it is a space city in space, a space factory or a base on Mars, a large amount of steel is used to build it. This is mainly because steel is the easiest material to smelt and build, and various processing technologies are also very advanced.

Mature.

On Mars, iron ore for smelting steel can also be easily found.

However, relying on traditional steel smelting technology, the output is very limited and cannot meet the demand on Mars. A large amount of it still needs to be transported from the Earth.

"It's really unbelievable. In such a short period of time, we have built such a huge base on Mars, as well as space cities, space factories, etc. in space."

Zhou Yu looked at it carefully and couldn't help but sigh; "Thinking about a few years ago when I was still in school, I couldn't even dream that one day I could come to Mars and have such a wonderful life on Mars.

Huge base.”

"This is the power of technology!"

"From the time we mastered anti-gravity technology, we already had the foundation and capabilities to enter the interstellar space age."

"Efficient, safe, and anti-gravity transportation of food can allow us to travel to and from every area in the solar system, and can directly transport large amounts of materials."

"Whether it is our base or the space city in space, in fact, it has basically been designed and built here on the earth, and then all the parts and components are transported over by spacecraft, and are directly on Mars.

Just assemble it as you go.”

"So this is why we were able to quickly build a large base and space city on Mars. The main reason is because we have powerful spaceships that can transport massive amounts of materials.

, a lot of things can be transported to Mars and assembled directly.”

"If we really had to start everything from scratch and slowly produce and develop it ourselves, it would be a long time before the Mars base could be built."

Wang Wei smiled and nodded. Humanity has truly entered the interstellar space age, but now everyone is still habitually dependent on the earth.
Chapter completed!
