My Black Tech Shelter

In the Mars planting base, in addition to the 500 acres of planting land on the first floor, a second layer of soilless cultivation equipment can also be built.

However, this kind of device can only be used by professionals. At the same time, this kind of device requires additional payment. Therefore, many farmers do not understand soilless cultivation and simply do not need these devices.

There are no official requirements for these. After all, in the current interstellar era, strictly speaking, land is the least valuable thing.

Especially after using the space factory to smelt asteroids, although the sifted muck cannot be directly used as farmland, it is still no problem as a road foundation.

Therefore, the current Blue Star road construction uses these asteroid dregs as the underlying soil foundation.

The excavated native land of Blue Star was transported to some areas with barren land and used as fertile soil for farmland.

However, among this group of immigrants, not all those who chose planting bases have given up on soilless cultivation devices.

There are also some agricultural students who choose to come to Mars to do experiments in order to do research.

Although biotechnology has become very advanced now because of Zhou Peng, for crops, natural selection is better.

Therefore, in terms of food, genetically modified crops are still not welcomed by the people of Longguo, but in other aspects, such as landscape plants, more and more exotic plants have been produced by these students studying biology.

Especially this time, the Martian immigration city uses an atmospheric restraint position, but the internal oxygen will be consumed.

Therefore, in response to this situation, Zhou Peng asked his students to research a plant with a high oxygen conversion rate.

It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone in the current Dragon Kingdom is like a dragon. With the help of this new group of human beings, the technological development of the Dragon Kingdom is advancing at a very high speed.

Under the independent research and development of this group of students, some plant gene fragments were successfully implanted into landscape trees.

Therefore, in the Martian immigration city, you can see many plants with wide and thick leaves on both sides of the road. The amount of oxygen released by these plants is 50 times that of ordinary plants, which can provide sufficient oxygen for the interior of the city.

Moreover, when the oxygen content reaches 21%, these plants will stop releasing oxygen, and when the oxygen content is lower than 20%, they will continue to release oxygen.

So when Zhou Peng saw this work, he was very happy. These students can already take charge of themselves, and young people can think wildly and unfettered, and can better develop Longguo's technology.

After these landscape trees were put into production, Zhou Peng also asked these students to take charge of a laboratory to conduct project research.

However, in order to avoid wasting resources, relevant project applications still need Zhou Peng’s approval.

On Mars, due to the sparse personnel, these agricultural students can do their own research to their heart's content. There will no longer be the situation on Blue Star where apples that have been cultivated for five years are accidentally picked and eaten.

And as students of the College of Agriculture, although they do not own the ownership of these planting bases, such a good experimental environment attracts these students of the College of Agriculture.

At the same time, the dean of the Agricultural College saw this situation and had the idea to move the entire Agricultural College to Mars. He also applied to the higher authorities at the same time.

The planting base used by students in these agricultural colleges is a base with complete functional facilities, such as a central computer, temperature control system, light adjustment system, rainfall system, sterilization system, etc.

At the Mars immigration site, after all personnel have been arranged and the city has entered normal operation,

Also in the Lu Chen Mars Base not far away, good news came from the team studying the ion engine.

Since all laboratories were moved to Mars, researchers have been stationed on Mars permanently.

The original lunar base was sold to the Nanotechnology Group.

At this time, the lunar base, except for Lu Chen's boss's residence, other areas have become the lunar branch of the Nano Group.

After two years of exploration,

Good news finally came from the Mars Ion Engine Research Institute,

In two years, under the leadership of Fang Qing, the research on the fifth-generation ion engine was finally completed.

The reason why it took such a long development time is that Lu Chen put forward higher requirements for him when the fourth-generation ion engine was already used enough.

This fifth-generation ion engine has maximized the performance of the ion engine.

If we want to add more load and speed in the future, it will no longer be possible to make breakthroughs in the ion engine.

Just like Moore's Law for silicon-based chips,

Therefore, this ion engine is being studied as a final model.

At the same time, Lu Chen also plans to give classes to his researchers later on about grand unified theory.

Just at this time, Lu Chen also arrived on Mars,

So after receiving the news, I stayed for a day or two to watch the test run!

Arriving at the test site, Lu Chen saw the fifth-generation ion engine that had been prepared.

The length of this engine has reached 50 meters and the diameter has reached 30 meters.

It is specially designed for the manufacture and use of large spaceships.

Here, Fang Qing also introduced the design theoretical data of the current ion engine to Lu Chen.

"Teacher, for this ion engine, we have adopted a brand new working medium, which greatly improves the performance of the engine.

Compared with the performance of the fourth-generation engine, the performance of the fifth-generation engine has been greatly improved. Here are some data from our previous tests. Teacher, you can take a look! "

During this period, the previous 15 people were also officially accepted by Lu Chen and became his students.

So now these people call Lu Chen teacher,

Lu Chen looked at the terminal handed over by Fang Qing and looked at the design data of this engine.

"Proven fifth-generation ion engine!"

"Maximum thrust of standard gravity is 100,000 tons"

"Maximum acceleration 1000km/s"

Looking at some basic data above, Lu Chen also admired Fang Qing for being able to develop such a powerful ion engine.

With a thrust of 100,000 tons, if balance is not considered, previous aircraft carriers can already be lifted into space.

Therefore, such an ion engine can already meet the power requirements of the cruiser.

"Well done. Now the performance of the ion engine has almost been developed to its limit.

Even if we can still find new working media and other structural methods, the gains outweigh the losses.

It just so happens that I have done some research on the Grand Unified Theory recently, and I will give you a class soon! "

"Really? Thank you teacher!"

"Well, let's finish the experiment in front of us first! I will set off back to Blue Star tomorrow!"

"Yes! Teacher!"

After receiving Lu Chen's order, Fang Qing began to take action.

"Groups prepare and the final test takes one minute to prepare,"

"Energy supply is normal!"

"The working medium has been injected!"

"The internal structure is normal and the detection device is normal!"

"..."

"Report to Team Leader Fang Qing that the data of the fifth-generation ion engine prototype is normal and the test can begin!"

"Very good, now I announce that the 56th experiment of the fifth-generation ion engine prototype is about to begin.

Supply energy and start the ion engine! "

"Yes, the energy supply is normal, start the ion engine! 3.2.1... The ion engine started successfully, the current power is 1%! The engine runs smoothly!"

"Very good, increase the power to 10%!"

"Received, increase the power, 3%...8%...10%, turn off the power increase, the engine is running smoothly, and all parts are running well!"

"Very good, let's do something big this time. Increase the power to 50%!"

"Yes! Continue to increase the power! 20%...30%...50%, the power increase is completed, and the engine is still running smoothly!"

"It seems there isn't much of a problem! Increase the power to 90%. After it runs smoothly, increase it to 100%!"

"Yes, continue to increase the power, 80%...90%,"

"..."

"The operating status is stable, the power has reached 100%, and the operating status is still stable!"

"Very good, start testing the service life of the engine. Do not interrupt the energy supply and keep it running.

Observation team, what is the thrust of the engine now? "

"Reporting to the team leader, the current thrust of the engine has reached 105,000 tons, exceeding the expected value by 3,000 tons!"

"It's okay, a little error is normal! Keep observing!"

"yes!"

By this time, basically the ion engine testing is almost 80% complete.

The rest is to make some fine-tuning, determine the production process, and then go online for mass production, and then offline for batch testing, and finally form a mature product and put it into the market!

"Fang Qing, you did a great job, let's go for a walk!"

"Good teacher!"

Let other experimenters cheer inside, and the two came outside the laboratory.

"Fang Qing, I know your talent in power systems. Now that the latest ion engine has been developed, what are your plans next?"

"Teacher, I want to continue research on power systems! Now there is no need to develop ion engines, so I am planning to turn to nuclear power engines.

Provide sufficient power for future nuclear fusion spacecraft! "

"Since you are still so interested in the power system, I have a task here. I don't know if Ni Gan is interested!"

"Teacher, please tell me!"

"Do you know about the warp engine?"

"Is it true? Teacher, please let me join this project, even if it's just a part-time job!"

"My mind works very fast, but it's a bit humiliating to ask you to do odd jobs here. Go back and finish the finishing touches on the fifth-generation ion engine, and then contact Zero to report to me!

This time you will be my assistant and jointly develop the curvature engine.

But you have to be prepared to endure hardship, and before the project starts, I still need to teach you a lesson! "

"Yes! Please don't worry, teacher, I can endure hardship the most! I will definitely complete the task!"

"Okay, go ahead and do your work, I'll go back first!"

"Yes, goodbye teacher!"

Watching Lu Chen leave, Fang Qing was very excited. She suppressed her excitement and returned to the laboratory to start doing some finishing work!
