Chapter 4 It's okay, it's okay to eat
Historically, there have been some areas where there has been a vigorous gold rush, and this is no different on Mars today.
It's just that the gold rush of that year later formed a city where many gold diggers settled, and the gold mine itself became a secondary thing.
If you think about it, it seems that it is impossible to form such a human settlement city on Mars, after all, it lacks everything, and without the resources transported from Earth to support it, it will not be long before it will fail like the famous "Biosphere 2".
As for what the future holds, who knows, in a few years, someone may come up with the perfect plan to make Mars a second home, and if the atmosphere is regained, the environment on Mars will never be as bad as it is now.
At present, there are only sixty-six people on Mars, including the Beidou of Gasu, and there are some animals used for experiments, so it is not easy to bring them to Mars.
Even if it is just to provide these people with the necessary living materials, it has already cost the lives of many forces, take the Su family where Su Beidou is located, if the bamboo blue water is empty in the end, not to mention that it will be so destitute that it will lack food and clothing, and it is certain that most of the vitality will be hurt.
At present, they are only concerned about the whereabouts of iron-based superconducting ores, which are now sold at sky-high prices in the scientific research community!
Everyone wants to study something through it, as long as it is successfully developed and produced, it is enough to ensure that there is no need for food and clothing for ten lifetimes, and it can push human society to unprecedented new heights!
……
For Su Beidou, who lacks some memories and is still living in a daze, these are not things he needs to care about at the moment.
He is more concerned about whether he wets the bed after falling asleep every time, and whether there is more delicious food for him to eat.
After finding that I could stand up last night, I can stagger and walk today, although I will be tired, walking about ten meters is not a problem, you must know that the gravity of Mars is much smaller than that on Earth, and the burden is also small, and people often jump in front of him, and a casual jump is four or five meters.
This is in the base, out of the hatch, carrying hundreds of kilograms, and you have to walk slowly and honestly, and you can pant when you run fast.
At this moment.
Su Baichuan had nothing to do and came to the botanical garden with his son in his arms.
Plants here are not only used for food, but also absorb carbon dioxide from the air.
A few small teams go out to explore for a long time, and come back regularly to replenish resources, on this Mars, you can save a little is a little, except for the sand and stones outside the door are not valuable, everything else is valuable, there is indeed water on Mars, but unfortunately it is too far away from them, and they have to spend a long time from the earth.
"Lao Chen, the ship will come next week, and there will be more supplies at that time, this group of people will be about to leave, so get more delicious food recently." ”
As he spoke, Su Baichuan turned his attention to a few chickens raised next to him, and directly brought the fertilized eggs over to hatch, after two or three generations of cultivation, these chickens have undergone some changes in shape under the influence of strong cosmic rays, some of the legs are particularly thick, and some of the feather colors have changed, but they can still be eaten.
The surname Chen is named Chen Dafeng, who is only in his thirties, and his appearance has nothing to do with the word "old", but living on Mars is stressful, no matter how good his physical fitness is, whether he should be bald or bald.
The hairline has moved back sharply, he looks old, and his personality is stable, and the title of "Lao Chen" is buckled on his head.
Seeing him like this, Su Baichuan sighed, stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, for fear that one day he would be like a dandelion, and it would be gone after a gust of wind.
There will definitely be worries, although the base and outdoor protective clothing can resist the effects of most cosmic rays, but compared to the earth, it is still about three times stronger, and the longer you stay, the greater the impact on the body.
And these chickens were brought here for research, deliberately exposing them to more cosmic high-energy particles on Mars to study their impact on biological genes, and the mice in the glass box are also dying fast, mutating quickly, one of them is so big that it almost becomes a monster, bloated to half a meter long, and is already dying.
Seeing the direction he was looking at, Chen Dafeng immediately pondered something meaningful, and said meaningfully: "Recently, more than ten chicks have hatched, and the old chickens have successfully retired, and it is not impossible for one or two to die of accidental illness." ”
On the road, very on the road.
Chen Baichuan smiled happily, put his son on the ground, stretched his waist and continued: "I just happened to add food to Little Beidou, this kid doesn't seem to have eaten meat yet......"
In a word, the chickens in the cage suffered, and even if they came to Mars, they were treated as a meal, and they were indeed quite a pitiful species.
After the abnormality of uncontrollable genes, some chickens have atavistic phenomena, such as sharp teeth, but they are okay and can still eat.
Su Beidou didn't care about the "dirty and bloody deal" between the cheap dad and the other party, in fact, he was indeed a little greedy, and at this time he was looking at all kinds of strange melons and fruits in a daze.
For example, the large pumpkin with a diameter of more than one meter, the strange-looking tomato, and the potatoes that have just been dug up and larger than him, it can be seen that not only animals are affected, but also plants.
It's okay, although the appearance has changed, you can eat it.
Without the influence of the earth, these animals and plants are mutating at an accelerated pace in the laboratory (farm) on Mars, which is okay at present, but whether they can be eaten in the future is not certain.
Reaching out and patting the pumpkin, he staggered to the potato field, and could see an oversized earthworm on the road, longer than an ordinary snake, if it wasn't moving, it would have been thought to be a wire or a stick.
It stands to reason that they are all species that Su Beidou has seen for the first time, but he has an impression in his mind, as if he had seen it before, so he can detect the traces of being changed.
A woman with shorter hair than his mother, casually picked up the earthworm and put it into the blender, and when it came out, it was squeezed into a lump of mud, which can be used as fertilizer to achieve ecological balance, God knows what various microorganisms and bacteria will become outside, maybe it will be extremely lethal, so the feces of the members of the base will eventually become organic fertilizer here.
fermented, otherwise no one will suffer the taste.
To be honest, thinking of what this hand had grabbed, Su Beidou didn't want to have any physical contact with this woman at all, but after the other party took off his gloves, he still hugged him.
Judging from the skillful movements, it shouldn't be the first time, the little guy doesn't remember what happened in the first few months, and until now he is still confused, and he can simply think about some things, such as a small sapling that he saw in his field of vision after being picked up, which was strangely full of fruits, and the whole small farm was unusual.
The long cylindrical farm, which was compressed and folded at the beginning, was inflated and automatically opened after being transported to Mars, I don't know how it was done, considering the violent wind and sand on Mars, the material should be quite strong, and almost all the places where things can be planted are full of all kinds of plants, and there are some strange animals on the shelves.
His son Su Baichuan did not return empty-handed, he carried him and left with more fruit in his hand, and ate cucumbers that grew into a spiral as he walked.
A few days later.
Another landing capsule more than 10 meters high landed smoothly on the flat ground outside the base......
