Chief Carmen took the cucumber and walked to the pool, cleaned it, and broke it into several pieces. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After handing them to them, he smiled and said, "It tastes very good, I like to make salads with them."

Together with apples, bananas, and kiwifruit, I ate these every day, and I lost fifteen pounds in two months, and the doctor said that my blood lipids were a little high, and it was best to eat less meat. ”

The old man took a piece of cucumber and looked at it, and asked suspiciously, "Can you eat such a long cucumber?"

"Yes, when they were in space, their genes changed.

The rate of change is about 10,000 times that of the earth, so it produces different forms, in fact, it is still a cucumber.

The content of trace elements such as vitamin C and copper and iron is 7% to 20% higher than the original, and it does not require the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, which is natural and healthy.

These plants are specially filtered for space, high yields and high temperature tolerance, strong drought resistance and virus invasion prevention, among other advantages.

We're trying to promote these special plants, and there's more than 2,000 acres of land in Texas that are grown with lab-grown space plants, green peppers, potatoes, eggplants, all of them.

Look at the fruit on your heads, it looks like a watermelon, but it's actually a pumpkin, and I made it into a pumpkin pie once......"

Han Xuan heard his words and raised his head to look up.

The fruits hanging from the shelves, separated by green and black stripes, look like watermelons.

Holding a cucumber in his hand, it tastes crunchy, and it feels crispier and sweeter than the cucumbers on the earth, I don't know if this is a psychological effect.

He asked Director Carmen and said, "If you have any extra seeds, can you give me some, and I'll buy them from you NASA."

I also have a vegetable plantation at home, and these plants look interesting. ”

"Of course, I'll send you some seeds later.

The seeds that have been in space in the first place may not be given to you, they are too few in number, and they are not with me.

The plants you see are all cultivated by agricultural and biological experts after returning to Earth.

For example, these eggplants can be stably bred through artificial directional breeding, and it takes four to six generations to breed stably through artificial directional breeding.

Normally, it takes two years to breed three generations of varieties, so it usually takes about four years to breed a stable new variety of eggplant.

We sent hundreds of plant seeds into space, and not all of them mutated for the better, and some of them degenerated.

If it weren't for the fact that humans were in a vacuum and could only live for one minute, I would have liked to see what kind of mutations humans would have.

My previous director wanted to send certain resilient microbes and algae into space, but that plan was rejected.

Some experts worry about the emergence of certain mutations that cannot be controlled by humans, such as the emergence of a supervirus that could wipe out humanity.

Zoologists are also not allowed to send cockroaches into space because they are already perverted and can be even more perverted after mutation.

Did you know that headless cockroaches can survive for weeks and eventually die not of headlessness, but of starvation?

It was only after the zoologist told me that they could survive even in the Arctic, which was amazing.

Space is a wonderful place, and this year we have started to cooperate with Russia to jointly develop the International Space Station, and I believe that many more wonderful things can be born in the future......"

Scientists have given names to these vegetables and fruits, such as "space lettuce", "cosmic carrot", "interstellar tomato", "space black sesame seeds", "space sword beans", etc., just listening to the name is very high.

In addition to vegetables and fruits, there are also many flower seeds that have been to space in the greenhouse, such as water lilies and drunken butterfly flowers next to Han Xuan at this moment.

When it was learned that the yield of space soybeans was 30 to 40 percent higher than that of ordinary soybeans, and that the yield of rice was 20 to 30 percent higher than that of ordinary rice.

Han Xuan's heart moved, and suddenly he came up with the idea of cooperating with NASA to develop new crops.

Most of today's high-yielding crops are artificially genetically modified, which is fundamentally different from the self-variation of space seeds.

Comparatively speaking, space seeds are safer and do not cause people to worry about whether they are harmful to themselves.

This kind of R&D project has a huge investment in the early stage, but if a breakthrough can be made in some aspect to stabilize the genes of these space plants, then it means that a broad road with rolling financial resources will be placed in front of Han Xuan.

I'm here to accompany my grandfather today, so I put down my thoughts and don't mention it for the time being......

After a circle around the botanical garden, Carmen and the old man mysteriously walked to the side and talked.

Han Xuan, on the other hand, was led to the warehouse to get more than forty kinds of plant seeds in sealed glass bottles.

Leaving the Space Botanical Garden and getting into the car, it took several minutes to reach the destination.

Han Xuan asked the old man, "Where are we going now?"

I always feel like you're a little strange today, is there something you haven't told me?"

"You'll find out later......"

After the old man finished speaking, he kept silent, with a smile on his face......

===========

On the barren plains in winter, there is a lonely base.

Han Xuan was curious that there was actually an airport and a runway there, and a large white transport plane was parked there.

Look at the model should be the Il-76 transport aircraft developed by the Ilyushin Design Bureau in the seventies of the Soviet Union.

Upon approaching, it was found that "NASA" was written on the fuselage, and the same initials were written on the doorway of the building's exterior wall, followed by the words "Training Center".

Han Xuan was confused about his old man, what did he bring here for.

It's just launching satellites, and it's not manned spaceflight, so is it difficult to pick astronauts?

Holding Fat Ding, he turned his head and asked angrily, "We have arrived, now can you say it?"

The old man didn't sell it again this time, pointed to the transport plane and said, "We're going to sit on that."

If you want to experience the feeling of weightlessness on Earth as if you are in space, taking an airplane is the best way, and in the process it will cancel out the gravity of the Earth and people can float.

Probably so, I heard Mr. Neil Armstrong talk about it at the party, and I thought it was interesting, so I took you to experience it, and it cost me three million dollars. ”

"What, don't people die in a vacuum!?"

Owen, who was in the passenger seat, said in shock, and then reacted: "Armstrong?

The Apollo program has successfully sent a total of 12 astronauts to the moon, which means that the moon has been stepped on by 12 people.

Armstrong was the first, and it was he who planted the American flag on the moon more than thirty years ago and left the first footprints.

"Who else but him?"

Han Xuan glanced at Owen angrily: "Let you read more books, vacuum is vacuum, weightlessness is weightlessness, these are two different things......"

Eyes on the large transport plane.

Han Xuan has been on a plane dozens of times, but he has never known how to experience weightlessness when he flies, and he has never heard of such a thing.

Arriving at the door of the training center with questions, Director Carmen got out of the car, introduced the middle-aged man standing at the door, and said, "This is Eugene Schmidt instructor, and he will be responsible for taking you on the plane to experience ...... later" (to be continued.) )
