Du Xianyu said with a smile: Vegetables irrigated with dung water are now called organic vegetables, and the prices are high.

If we go to the moon, we will eat organic food every day. What's so disgusting about this.

Besides, before industrialization, the only fertilizer for food grown was manure.

It doesn't matter what water is used, the key is the safety and taste of the food.

As long as people don't know the specific situation, they will eat very sweet.

I just said it casually, it's completely unnecessary to think too much.

Even hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is listed as a harmful food by the World Health Organization, is very popular.

Food safety is the most important thing now, and we should know safe food on the moon.

What kinds of food are there on the moon? Li Hao asked Director Du Xianyu.

Mr. Li, all of our planting plants have already been transported to the moon base as a whole. Don't you know more about his situation?

It is after they are assembled that the microbial system is formed. It maintains the simple material circulation of the lunar base. Du Xianyu asked in astonishment.

I really don't have a deep understanding of this, I only know that there is a plantation factory.

Could it be that its seeds have already been planted. I remember using just a few plants in the past, and the shipping list had no seeds. Li Hao asked curiously.

While he was speaking, he let the glasses turn on the virtual light curtain and began to check the planting factories on the moon base.

Li Hao saw that the whole planting factory was divided into two parts, one was the food growing area and the other was the non-food growing area.

He first set his sights on the food growing area, where there are two kinds of plants.

Instead of being planted in soil, they are grown directly using hydroponics.

Li Hao was still very puzzled, how could there be so many plants in the planting factory?

He remembered that when transporting supplies a few days ago, only a few plants came to the moon base.

At that time, he was too busy to understand it carefully. He thought it was a simple experiment.

It wasn't until he saw the seedling workshop that Li Hao realized that these plants didn't grow from seeds.

It uses plant stem cells to start growing plant seedlings in special petri dishes.

Afterwards, the seedlings are transplanted to the hydroponic workshop, and the entire process is fully automated.

Plant stem cells, which are cells obtained from mature plant leaves. Obtained after induced degradation.

This technology is already very mature on the earth, and large-scale industrialized plant production companies all use this technology to cultivate seedlings.

It couldn't attract Li Hao's attention. What shocked Li Hao was the two plant forms.

These are the plants that Li Hao saw for the first time, and they should have just been cultivated in the biology laboratory.

One plant is a low shrub bearing off-white fruit the size of a walnut.

The number of this kind of fruit is very large, covering almost the entire crown of the tree.

There is also a plant like bamboo, which is lower than bamboo and has thicker stems.

Du Xianyu saw the plant that Li Hao was staring at, and explained to him: This is carefully selected by our biological laboratory, and it is very suitable for the space environment on the moon.

They are ash rice tree and round stem vegetable respectively.

Li Hao nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and continued to observe the details of the plantation factory.

In addition to water and fertilizer, plant growth also needs to provide the right amount of light and the right temperature.

There are also vital phytohormones that regulate the process of plant growth.

There is no dense atmosphere on the moon, and its rotation speed is almost the same as the revolution speed.

The period of light is very short, and the hot sun shines on the plants. High-intensity sunlight directly kills plants.

These plants use artificial light sources, and they are planted in the sealed workshop of the factory, and the various environmental factors they need are directly controlled by the machine.

After Li Hao finished watching the plant factory, he turned to Du Xianyu and asked, What is the growth cycle of the plants produced in the plant factory? How many people can share them?

Du Xianyu almost didn't think about it, and immediately replied: Mr. Li, the total area of ​​gray rice tree planting is 12,000 square meters, and the planting plant is divided into multi-layer planting.

The ash rice tree is ripe once a month, and its monthly output is enough to feed 1,000 people for a month.

Its nutrients are very balanced, including a certain amount of starch, dietary fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, and trace elements.

People will not experience any malnutrition if they only eat gray rice.

Round stem vegetables are cooked every half a month, with a total planting area of ​​28,000 square meters. It is also a monthly output that can meet the meals of 1000 people.

Its taste on different stem nodes is completely different, the taste is very varied and nutritious, and can be matched with any ingredients.

The leaves are fresh, delicious, plump and juicy. It is a very good vegetable.

When Li Hao heard Director Du Xianyu introduce these vegetables, he almost drooled, looking forward to the taste of these foods.

I saw that the branches of the gray rice tree and the bulbous vegetable are very thick, and the gravity of the moon is very small. Why are they designed in this way? Li Hao asked suspiciously after observing the two plants carefully. .

These plants are all selected by biological laboratories, and all the details are made by scientists who write genetic codes and then express them through genes.

Artificial plants have simpler genes.

Every detail should have its function, and useless genes will never be written into its chromosomes.

When Du Xianyu heard Li Hao's question, he immediately explained: President Li, you know that there is a high-energy directional magnetic field on the moon to defend against high-energy particles in the universe.

But it cannot completely prevent the entry of high-energy particles.

Some of these high-energy particles are absorbed by plants. stored in its cells.

These eroded cells all have a certain degree of radiation.

Due to the enrichment effect of food, if such cells are eaten. High-energy particles will exist in the human body in large quantities, and eventually cause human cell disease.

Our solution is to eliminate these cells.

The plant's immune cells are specifically reprogrammed. After they find these high-energy cells, they will directly phagocytize these cells.

The immune cells then go to specialized sacs and start killing the irradiated cells. Does not affect the food we eat.

The plantation plants are separated by walls, and few high-energy particles pass through. This method has little effect on the plant as a whole and is very effective.

I can guarantee that the plants produced by our company's moon base do not contain radiation. It is a veritable radiation-proof plant.

Hearing what Director Du said, Li Hao secretly felt relieved.

At any time, food safety is the most important thing.

Especially on the moon, the medical conditions are not comparable to those on the earth.

It is to reduce the possible incidence rate to reduce the death rate of lunar residents.

This radiation-resistant plant is not just useful on the moon.

When the real development of the space age comes, human beings will take spacecraft for long-distance voyages.

It is entirely possible to grow this plant in a spacecraft. It can greatly improve the confidence of the astronauts on the spacecraft.
