Chapter 762
Bai Wenyan has been paying attention to things on the moon that have nothing to do with work recently, and obviously, Guan Qin's performance at work made her feel a certain threat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
casually added at the moment, "The level of our construction workers, there is no difficulty in building the lunar zenith, but there are some difficulties in building the Martian zenith." ”
The difficulties are obvious, mainly at the time of construction, the possibility of encountering a hurricane. Of course, on Mars, there are not always hurricanes, but in any case, on such a planet, the probability of hurricanes is always greater than on Earth.
If there is water on Mars, with the current air conditions, although the climate and environment are harsh, Li Xi can also slowly transform it by planting giant labyrinth trees. But on Mars, there is no water.
Of course, some scientific studies have shown that there is some solid water on the surface of Mars, mainly at the poles, not to mention whether this study is true or false, the solid water at the poles does not solve any problems for Li Xi's zenith construction.
Whether it is Mars or Earth, the environment at the poles is always the most sinister.
Of course, he can modify Mars by transporting water from the surface of the earth or other planets such as Titan, but for Mars, a planet with less gravity and unable to attract gas to the surface of the star for a long time, this kind of transportation of water from the past is not very significant.
Not to mention that even if it is absorbed by trees, it quickly dissipates into the air through evaporation, and once it is dissipated in the air, the subsequent precipitation on Mars becomes a problem.
However, when discussing this topic, Zoe obviously stood aside and heard it, and couldn't help but make a suggestion at this time, and said to Li Xi: "Mr. Li, I think, perhaps, if you want to transform Mars and plant on Mars, you can adopt a method similar to a plastic greenhouse, and cover the planted plants with plastic sheets to prevent the dissipation of moisture." ”
"Oh!" Li Xi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this proposal, and then thought about the feasibility of this approach.
Covering it with plastic sheeting to prevent water from evaporating is also a good option. Of course, this does not mean that you have to build a plastic greenhouse, according to Zoe's proposal and Li Xi's personal vision, in fact, you can do this, that is, plant the maze tree at the same time, water it, and then put plastic sheeting on top of the maze tree.
The branches of the labyrinth tree hold up the plastic sheeting to create a certain space in which the air is preserved, and the moisture absorbed by the tree from below is not emitted into the air due to the presence of the plastic sheeting.
In addition, the maze tree's huge, deeply rooted root system further caused the tree to be difficult to blow even if a hurricane appeared when planted on the surface of Mars.
Yes, the giant labyrinth tree has the advantage of being effective in preventing hurricanes, so that storms cannot uproot the maze tree like ordinary trees. When blowing on the tree, there is a good chance that it will not even be able to cause any damage to the tree.
Of course, there is another problem here, that is, in the extremely arid Saturn environment, once you water in the soil, then the water poured into the soil will eventually penetrate into the soil and penetrate all the way down, after all, the extremely arid Saturn environment, once it encounters water, it will definitely penetrate very quickly.
In this way, it is obvious that there will be a negative impact on the labyrinth tree planted on Mars. After all, for Li Xi, how much water can be watered by watering the labyrinth tree? Most of this water will not be absorbed by the labyrinth tree, but will inevitably penetrate into the soil and eventually disappear on the surface of the huge planet.
However, in the face of such a problem, it is not completely impossible to solve it, Li Xi after pondering for a while, he realized that he could plant the maze tree in the same pit dug as the moon, and in the pit, all kinds of waterproof and anti-corrosion plastic materials were laid in advance.
Some non-degradable plastic materials, on the surface of the earth, are a kind of pollution, but they seem indispensable when it comes to building a zenith that is completely isolated from the world.
This idea made Li Xi breathe a sigh of relief.
He said, "You can give it a try, but in the early days, there would be no need to send so many people, just transport all kinds of machines." Try planting a maze tree first and see what happens. ”
Nowadays, the giant labyrinth tree has obviously played a huge role for Moon City. Although the significance of this tree itself is not very large, its huge size and the ability to form one labyrinth-like room after another have indeed brought unimaginable benefits to Moon City.
It can even be said that if there were no such trees, Li Xi's construction of Moon City would inevitably be more difficult during the entire construction.
But with this kind of tree, it becomes a lot easier to build Moon City, especially when it comes to renovating Moon City.
At this time, it is time to further transform Mars. Of course, it was only an early attempt at retrofitting.
Li Xi's proposal, naturally no one objected, in fact, Professor Xu had already begun to calculate the precise transmission of Mars at this time.
Guan Qin was busy dispatching supplies and preparing to go to Mars.
The early construction of Mars is obviously more difficult. Especially when the Moon City is still under construction, after all, at present, most of the manpower is focused on the construction of Moon City. And these manpower are unlikely to be freed up.
Li Xi decided to come by himself, didn't he just use all kinds of excavators to excavate? Anyway, during this time, he didn't have much to do. Don't stop building on the moon, and the construction on Mars should be regarded as an experiment.
At the moment of convening manpower, with such a convocation of manpower, there are really many people who are willing to go with Li Xi. And most of them are high-priced managers and core figures in Moon City.
Not because of anything else, but to go to Mars, as the first people to land on Mars and build Mars, this honor itself is worth enough pay.
Even Zoey, who had just arrived, volunteered to go to Mars with Li Xi.
It's a new request, this time, to be planted on Mars. According to the previous colonization law, as long as you cultivate land in a certain place, it means that you have already owned the land.
Reclamation on Mars means that Li Xi and they are colonizing Mars.
A few days later, thanks to the full work of the crew, precise calculations for Martian teleportation were calculated.
At the moment, directly set up a teleportation array and send it to the surface of Mars. Li analyzed them, wearing spacesuits and driving various construction vehicles, to Mars.
A moment later, through the teleportation array, it reached the surface of Mars.
This time, the others really arrived on Mars for the first time, and the terrain that Li Xi had chosen in advance, the surrounding terrain, at least on Mars, was a plain.
Although I have seen the scene here on the video, when I actually arrived at this place, people couldn't help but be amazed.
The real Mars is much more sinister than imagined, so to speak, when it comes to this strange place, people feel the danger every step of the way, and they are worried about the caution of encountering danger before they take a step.
However, this caution apparently did not last long, and Li Xi ordered the start of construction.
Guan Qin preemptively said, "I'll drive the excavator." ”
Bai Wenyu chose a gravitational locomotive and cooperated with Guan Qin. Others either drive excavators or gravitational locomotives, in short, the whole job is very simple, that is, through the excavator, the soil is dug out of the ground, and then the gravitational locomotive is used to transport it to other places.
The excavation depth is still 50 meters, and the length and width are 500 meters.
This is a huge project, of course, just relatively speaking, if compared with the moon, this project is simply not worth mentioning.
The reason why the excavation is so huge is, of course, to better plant the labyrinth tree. After all, after the huge labyrinth tree is planted, the spread of the root system alone is not enough for a radius of 500 meters.
At this time, everyone dug such a huge pit just for experiments, and they didn't plan to let the maze tree grow wildly.
At present, it is just to plant a labyrinth tree on Mars for the time being and build a base for yourself.
You know, once the labyrinth tree is planted, it is bound to be beneficial to isolate the outside world with plastic sheeting, and the first benefit is that in the labyrinth tree, due to the exchange of air, carbon dioxide can be converted into oxygen.
In this way, for those who stay in the labyrinth tree, there is no need to worry about breathing. Of course, breathing is solved, and the temperature on Mars is really unsatisfactory, and I am afraid that air conditioning will be installed at that time.
But in any case, as long as the air problem is solved first, this area of the labyrinth tree isolated by plastic sheeting is enough for everyone to easily survive in it.
Therefore, this project, to a certain extent, is the construction of the first base. It's a completely different base from the moon.
When they first went to the moon, after arriving on the moon, in order to let the staff station, Li Xi and the others first built on the moon were all kinds of simple tents isolated from the outside world.
At this time, when you are on Mars, you don't want to build this kind of tent isolated from the outside world, because it can't stop the hurricane attack at all. It's better to say when there is no hurricane, but once the hurricane comes, it can be easily blown away.
The labyrinth tree is planted to form this space, which is much better. On Mars, of course, there are disadvantages, but there are also advantages, and it is definitely not blindly only disadvantages.
At the moment, it is precisely because there is a certain amount of carbon dioxide on the surface of Mars, even more dense than the surface of the earth, that it is really a good choice to plant it.
Of course, after the labyrinth tree is planted, Li Xi and they can also plant certain plants under the labyrinth tree, mainly plants such as various foods, such as potatoes, on Mars, planting potatoes, its sufficient carbon dioxide, is very suitable, and potatoes will inevitably grow more vigorously.
However, it is obviously not an easy task to cultivate on Mars, especially for those of them who rarely do heavy physical labor. Of course, driving an excavator or a gravitational locomotive is, to a certain extent, not heavy physical labor.
It's just that it also depends on who it is, for those of them who come to open up the wasteland, who rarely or rarely do similar work, it is still not an easy job, after only a few hours of work, Guan Qin Chu Xiaolian and even Zoyi, who volunteered to come, couldn't help but shout tired.
Back pain, this job, after contacting it, I realized that it was really hard.
Li Xi smiled helplessly and told them to rest, a group of men were obviously much better, and they were all able to persevere.
But after a few hours, I still had to choose to rest. Their efficiency, to be honest, is much worse than that of real construction workers.
In desperation, Li Xi took out the moon water and gave it to everyone, and after taking the moon water, everyone became refreshed and energetic in a moment.
So he continued to work, but in the end, a large amount of moon water was put into such work. Although it was not a difficult thing for Li Xi to get moon water from the elf world, such a method of taking it also made him feel distressed.
After this lasted for three or four days, he couldn't hold on, and in desperation, he had to mobilize people from Moon City and recruit some construction workers to build Mars.
However, when they arrived on Mars, these construction workers obviously didn't know what this place was, of course, they had lived on the moon for a long time, and when they saw the long wind and sand blowing outside from time to time, they also knew that this was definitely not the moon.
Some people couldn't help but whisper what kind of place this was, but in the end it was also fruitless, for these construction workers, obviously there was very little knowledge of the universe, and few people could guess that this was the legendary Mars.
The construction continued, and Li Xi and the others were dismissed, but they still came to help from time to time when they were idle.
After a few days, the work here was stabilized, and the excavation of the pit proceeded slowly.
However, beyond everyone's expectations, when everyone had been working for less than a month, they encountered a powerful hurricane, so the work had to be suspended and returned to the moon to take refuge.
But when I came back, I found that the pit had been dug for a long time had been filled with nearly half of the sand in a few days. (To be continued.) )
