A big country of aerospace with black technology

Shenzhou-1, as a pre-manned experimental spacecraft, did not have real astronauts on board.

However, in the cockpit of the Shenzhou-1 spacecraft, a 1.7-meter-tall male simulator wearing a space suit was placed.

There are a lot of sensors integrated on this simulator, which are mainly used to detect various test data such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen generated during the operation of the spacecraft.

In addition, the spacecraft also carried a lot of crop seeds and Chinese medicinal seeds.

"Old Chen, you are not in good health, it is better not to walk around here often."

Zhang Xingyang carefully supported Chen Zhongyan, while persuading him to pay attention to his body:

"Didn't the higher-ups arrange an exclusive ward for you?"

"You don't stay here, you run to our place all day long. If something happens to you, how can I explain to your family?"

Chen Zhongyan didn't care so much about his body, even the various medicines he needs to take every day can almost fill a bottle.

But he still tried his best to watch and run more while he was still able to move.

"What I'm most worried about now is the manned spaceship."

"It's a pity that I can't see the time when he goes to heaven."

"But you boy, you have to do a good job in all aspects of the launch vehicle, if there is any problem during the launch."

"I live a restless life underground!"

Chen Zhongyan has experienced too many things in his life, and death is not a big deal in his eyes.

However, he regards the manned spacecraft that has not yet taken to the sky at this time, more important than his own life.

"Have the seeds from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Chinese herbal medicines from the Institute of Chinese Medicine been sent over?"

Chen Zhongyan looked at the people in front of him who were still busy with manned spaceship transformation, and said in a very relaxed tone.

But Zhang Xingyang could clearly see that Chen Lao's forehead was constantly sweating.

Obviously, even Chen Zhongyan, who is very energetic after taking painkillers, cannot fully bear the pain in the advanced stage of bone cancer.

But Zhang Xingyang didn't say anything more, he chose to respect the old man's thoughts, since the old man didn't cry out for pain, then let him go.

"The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has sent over their various seeds. There are seven or eight kinds in total, including green peppers, melons, tomatoes, watermelons, cowpeas, radishes, etc."

Zhang Xingyang answered the old man's question.

"They haven't delivered the Chinese medicinal materials yet, but they have contacted us before and said they will be able to deliver them next week."

In space, the exposure of various space rays, including the influence of microgravity in space, will have a considerable impact on the development of seeds.

The changes here may be benign or malignant.

Different from the directional cultivation we usually carry out in the ground laboratory, what kind of changes this method can produce depends entirely on luck.

But this can also accumulate certain experience for us to farm in space in the future.

After all, after the permanent space station is built, a certain amount of vegetables can be grown in the space station, which is good for scientific research and exploration, as well as improving the astronauts' food.

Although the seeds sent by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences seem to be quite a lot in variety, they don't actually weigh much.

The total weight is only 50g, but the vegetable seeds are very light, so there are quite a lot of them in terms of quantity.

"This is the seed they sent over?"

Chen Zhongyan looked at the small box in front of him, and asked in surprise.

What contained the first batch of heavenly crop seeds in China was a black box that looked unremarkable.

Because the seeds need to be exposed to various space rays, there is no special surface treatment to isolate the radiation.

"Yes, it has been sealed and sterilized, and there is a special mounting point inside the spaceship. You can just hang the box on it when the time comes."

Zhang Xingyang looked at the small black box and answered Chen Zhongyan's question.

"It would be great if we could get a few seeds that performed well this time."

Chen Zhongyan looked at the seeds in front of him, and said with some emotion as if recalling the years of hunger and famine.

In fact, both Zhang Xingyang and Chen Zhongyan know that it is actually impossible to cultivate seeds in this way of going around in space.

After all, whether it is Maoxiong or Yingjiang, in the past space experiments, it has been shown that it is difficult to change the seeds simply by wandering around in space.

Because in the space environment, the greatest impact on the seed development process is actually its microgravity environment.

"There should be a few that perform well, especially like green pepper tomatoes, which are very likely to have some seeds that perform well."

Zhang Xingyang still took care of the old man's mood, and tried to say some good things.

Chen Zhongyan turned his head, looked at Zhang Xingyang and smiled.

He also knew that Zhang Xingyang was trying to make himself happy, but he didn't expose Zhang Xingyang either.

"Xing Yang, when do you think we will be able to grow vegetables in space?"

Chen Zhongyan's brain circuit was difficult to figure out at this time, and he quickly jumped to space agriculture.

"If you just do experimental planting in space, it will probably be realized in a few years."

"Even our experimental space station can actually do space farming."

What Zhang Xingyang said at this time is still relatively objective.

"It will take a lot of time to achieve the kind of large-scale agriculture that we have on the ground."

"After all, in space, although light is not such a big problem, there are many problems whether it is water or fertilizer."

"Of course, I believe that with everyone's efforts, farming in space will soon be possible."

At this moment, Chen Zhongyan looked at Zhang Xingyang and didn't say anything more.

After all, no matter how space farming is realized in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

"In the future, if you really realize farming in space, don't forget to bring some to my grave."

"Then I can rest in peace when I am underground."

I don't know why, although Chen Zhongyan talked about his own affairs, but Zhang Xingyang always gave Zhang Xingyang a particularly free and easy feeling.

Chen Zhongyan didn't chat with Zhang Xingyang any more, turned around and walked along the road, leaving the manned spaceship's modified workshop.

Zhang Xingyang wanted to send him off, but was pushed away by Chen Zhongyan.

"You should be busy with your work, don't send me off!"

Watching Chen Lao's back getting further and further away under the setting sun.

After a while, a sentence came from afar.

"The setting sun is infinitely good, but it's almost dusk!"
