"First of all, we want to break the dormancy of the seeds, and the general initial treatment method is soaking." Mai Dong instructed, "So Tang Yue, you should take a certain amount of water first, enough to submerge all ten tomato seeds." ”

Tang Yue took 200 milliliters of water from a large beaker, and then supported it with an iron frame, and put an electric heater under the beaker and plugged it in.

Tang Yue and the old cat sat on the edge of the table, watching the heating wire burn red little by little.

"I felt like I was back in college chemistry labs." Tang Yue held a thermometer in his hand, rested his chin on the table, and stared at the water in the beaker with straight eyes, "That was really the worst class I've ever taken in my life...... I knocked over the alcohol lamp in chemistry lab class and burned the hair of my female classmates at the table. ”

"And then?" The old cat's chin was also drooping on the table, and both ears were drooping.

"Then I strictly followed the safety regulations in the lab." Tang Yue replied, "Rushed out of the classroom and picked up the sand basin on the ground, and slapped a large box of sand on the girl's head. ”

The old cat thought about the scene for a moment.

“…… I can see why it's the worst course. ”

"And then?" The old cat asked, "What have you done to remedy it?" Shouldn't you apologize to the girl at this time? Find her for a mobile phone number, QQ number, WeChat ID, invite her to dinner and watch a movie, and then take the opportunity to get closer, turn hostility into friendship, and maybe solve a major life event. ”

"Of course I amended." Tang Yue held his cheek with one hand and gently stirred the water in the beaker with a glass rod, "I'm worried that there will be no clean fire, so I immediately took off the white coat on my body and slapped her hard......"

Mai Dong snorted in the channel.

"Later, my story spread in the academy." Tang Yue said depressedly, "Everyone knows that there is a neurotic named Tang Yue, who bullied girls in chemistry class, splashed alcohol on people's hair, and beat people, and the worst thing is that I still hung up in that class...... Girl, you can laugh if you want to laugh, don't hold back, I've heard you. ”

Mai Dong laughed out loud, and he couldn't stop laughing, almost laughing.

"Hahahaha, Tang Yue, you're so interesting, hahahaha, it's so interesting......"

Mai Dong held a tablet, floating in the crystal cabin, rolling around.

Tang Yue's old face flushed, "Girl, you can laugh, but don't laugh all the time...... I also want to save face, okay? ”

"You said before that you were a lone wolf in the desert who didn't need a mate, I didn't believe it." The old cat raised his eyelids and looked in admiration, "Now I believe it, you are not only a lone wolf in the desert, you are simply undefeated in the East." ”

Tang Yue poked the thermometer into the beaker and watched the red liquid column slowly rise.

"Tang Yue, don't you have a girlfriend?" Mai Dong asked.

"Does a girlfriend who was tricked with a lollipop when I was in kindergarten count?" Tang Yue asked.

"It doesn't count."

Tang Yue was silent for a few seconds, "Does it have to be the opposite sex?" ”

"Girlfriend, of course it has to be a woman."

"It has to be...... The same species? ”

"The water temperature should be about 50 degrees Celsius, and then potassium permanganate should be added to the water, and the solution concentration should be about 0.3%."

Tang Yue and the old cat rummaged through the cabinets to find potassium permanganate, there were not many chemicals left in the Kunlun station, and finally the old cat went to the experimental cabin of the Martian stray dog to find a bottle of pure solid, Tang Yue carefully added potassium permanganate to the beaker, and the dark purple powder quickly dissolved in the clear water, like curling smoke.

"The purpose of adding potassium permanganate is to disinfect and prevent the common disease of tomatoes, which can suffer from leaf mold or early blight, although it is very unlikely to occur on Mars, but it is better to disinfect it to be on the safe side." "The next step is to soak the seeds in water, which takes 20 minutes. ”

Tang Yue turned off the electric heater and poured the prepared ten tomato seeds into the beaker.

He and the old cat used a glass rod to press down the seeds floating on the water one by one, stirring them slowly.

"Do you know what this is?" Tang Yue pointed to the tomato seeds in the beaker and asked the old cat.

"What is it?"

"It's hope." Tang Yue said, "When the heavens and the earth first opened, God Jehovah said that there should be light, so there was light in this universe, and what we are doing at the moment is the same as God?" We brought tomatoes to Mars, which may be the beginning of a great civilization, and when the mountains and fields on Mars are full of tomatoes, a whole new nation may be born - the tomato family, which is laughing when the tomatoes are in full bloom. ”

"It's possible for plants to evolve into civilizations, right?" Tang Yue said, "We are sowing life, this is a great deed like the Book of Genesis, one civilization is over, and another civilization has just begun." ”

"Sowing life on Mars?" The old cat pursed its lips, it took off its headphones, and pointed to the airlock room behind it, "You face the door ***, see if Xiao Tang Yuelai can grow in the mud in two days, if you have the ability to reproduce solitary males, then you can indeed create a nation - if every sperm can develop and live, the life you sow in this life is enough to fill ten Mars." ”

"Or maybe I'm driving a Martian stray dog, and you're standing in the compartment facing the outside." The old cat continued, "You will go wherever I go, and see if there will be a little Tang Yue along the way." ”

Tang Yue thought about himself standing bare-bottomed on a Martian stray dog.

Could it be that God created the world in the same way?

It's also too obscene.

"It's impossible for the two of us to modify the Martian environment alone, and even if the Earth is still there, this work is an extremely costly 100-year project." The old cat shook his head, "With the current atmospheric environment of Mars, no plants and animals can survive, and if humans want to live, they must establish a fully enclosed underground or semi-underground base - this must be under the premise that the artificial biosphere technology has been overcome." ”

"What do you have to do to transform the Martian environment?"

The old cat thought for a moment, "First of all, you have to burn coal, and you have to burn coal like crazy." ”

"Burning coal?"

"Burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide." "You have to artificially produce a huge amount of carbon dioxide, and you can't imagine how huge that humans have to have factories all over Mars, mining methane resources on Mars, and producing carbon dioxide day and night — after all, you want to artificially modify the climate of a planet." Enough carbon dioxide can create a greenhouse effect and raise the temperature of the Martian surface, and when the temperature here stops dropping to -80 degrees Celsius, the rest of the work can continue. ”

Tang Yue really couldn't imagine that kind of scene, the whole world of Mars was covered with red-hot coal stoves, turning Mars into a large mine, the grandeur of this kind of project was beyond the scope of a certain nation or country, and it could only be the innovation of the entire human civilization.

"It's hard to say if it's a pioneering act." The old cat shook his head, "Obviously, the consequence of this is to turn Mars into a smoky miasma, slag-covered planet - but the theory of socialist ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics tells us that the tone of pollution first and treatment later is wrong!" ”
