The other side.

Fang Ping held the first Mars Territory Work Conference in Utopia City, and as the Mars Domain's current infrastructure and largest utopia area, it was naturally determined by the Alliance Council as the temporary capital.

The Martian territory is currently divided into 10 areas, namely the Utopia Zone, the Soth-Helic Republic, the Northern Zone, the Meridian Zone, the Canyon Zone, the Amazon Zone, the Xinhua Zone, the Neo-Greek Zone, the Southern Zone, and the Satellite Zone.

However, there are currently complete administrative establishments and urban districts, and there are only four districts, namely the Satellite District, the Utopia District, the Helich Republic, and the Canyon District, and the other districts exist in name only.

So in the holographic conference room, there were four people, including Fang Ping and Sara.

"Everyone, tell us what you think about the development of the Martian zone!" Fang Ping said straight to the point.

"Our Canyon District's Sailor mass projector will be completed next month, and then our material exchange with outer space will be convenient." Planck, the mayor of the effect area, said.

Masashi Kishimoto, the head of the satellite area, opened a star map and said: "We must give full play to the advantages of the Mars Territory, after all, the asteroid belt is our jurisdiction, and many of the mineral resources in it are available to us." ”

"The official history is right, last year, the mineral resource extraction industry in the asteroid belt brought us a tax rebate of 160 billion, if we can make full use of the mineral resources of these asteroids, we can achieve self-sufficiency as soon as possible." Fang Ping nodded and said.

"In fact, we have a technology that can be combined into a space ring city by cultivating a silicon-based plant called the space ring tree in a targeted manner." Sara said suddenly.

"Oh! What does the Space Ring Tree look like?" Fang Ping asked with interest.

Sara hurriedly opened the holographic bracelet and retrieved the relevant information of the space ring tree from the database of the Soth civilization.

The Space Ring Tree is similar to the Light Crystal Tree, but this is a silicon-based plant that has been specially modified by the Soth people, which can directly and quickly generate a ring-shaped space silicon-based plant in space, of course, it is best to have a resource-rich asteroid to host, so that it can be very convenient to generate.

The size of this space ring tree can be customized, and the maximum radius can reach about 610 meters, and then the space ring trees can be combined to form an orbital ring around the planet.

In the case of abundant resources, the frame construction of an orbital ring can be completed in one or two months, and then it can be transformed in the orbital ring, which can be used as a factory, port, and life.

"This is the Space Ring Tree...... "Sarah explained, pointing to the hologram.

"How many resources do you need to build a Martian orbital ring?" Fang Ping looked at the information and asked.

"300~400 asteroids with a radius of 1 km can complete the frame construction, and the remaining facilities can be slowly replenished." Sara replied.

After discussing with the other two, Fang Ping decided to build a Martian orbital ring, but the Martian orbital ring not only exists in the orbital ring part, but also has an orbital pillar that connects to the planet's ground, which can be used as a space elevator support.

The main reason why the planet Helic does not have such an orbital ring is that the planet Helic has no atmosphere and does not have much gravity, in this case, there is no need to erect an orbital ring.

The council of the alliance also agreed with the development plan of the Martian Territory and approved a development fund of 600 billion yuan to the Martian Domain.

……

In the silicon-based plant concoction factory in Utopia City, many Soth researchers and Blue Star researchers were busy, and in a petri dish with a diameter of more than 10 meters, a silver-gray sphere slightly larger than a basketball was gradually splitting with the help of the instrument.

This is the seed of the Space Ring Tree, and the Sothians have kept a total of 137 original seeds of the Space Ring Tree.

There are a total of 20 petri dishes in the factory, and these petri dishes can divide and reproduce 200 seeds in a day.

"Director Li Liang, the culture medium is a little insufficient." Chief Engineer Lei Hao looked at the inventory and said.

Li Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How long can it be supported?"

"About 2 days of production."

"The production plant in the satellite area is not so fast, and it will take about 6 days for the next batch of culture medium to arrive at the earliest." Li Liang looked at the production arrangement and said.

"Let them hurry! Otherwise, it will affect the production task. Lei Hao said a little anxiously.

"I'm already urging them, one of their production equipment broke down a few days ago, and they are waiting for Bluestar's spare parts to come over." Li Liang helplessly spread his hands.

A batch of seeds that have just been divided and propagated are sent into a genetic adjustment cabin, and the staff quickly starts the instrument to adjust the genetic sequence of the space ring tree seeds, which are space ring tree seeds for use on the ground, and this model is different from the one used in space.

The other side.

Sara takes Fang Ping on an inspection tour of the southern region of the Republic of Helik, which is the equatorial region of Mars.

The two of them flew aboard a flying shark mechamon unique to the Republic of Helich, a super-large mechmon that could float in the air.

On the side are also two Flying Shark Mechmons, but these two Flying Shark Mechmons are engineering models.

Fang Ping took the telescope and looked at the situation below: "Is this the ground type ring tree?"

"Yes." Sara nodded back.

I saw that at the bottom of the Flying Shark Automatron, an activated ring tree seed was driven into the ground, and after a while, the ring tree seed grew rapidly, and even the rock formations on the ground were stretched open.

The silver-gray branches spread in all directions, and in less than an hour, the silver-gray branches densely covered an area with a radius of about 5 kilometers.

Fang Ping opened the holographic bracelet and called up the neutrino radar scan, and it could be seen that the silver-gray branches had spread deep underground.

In less than a day, a silver-gray strip with a width of 10 kilometers and a length of 240 kilometers appeared in the equatorial region of Mars, as the seeds of the ring-shaped trees were driven into the ground.

The length of the Martian equator is about 21,331 kilometers (the diameter of the equator is 6,790 kilometers), and if multiple sections are constructed at the same time, as long as the ring-shaped tree seeds are sufficient, the construction speed can reach about 1000~2000 kilometers a day.

"It seems that at this rate, the construction can be completed in about a month." Fang Ping said with a smile.

"However, the seed production of ring-shaped trees is insufficient, and two equatorial rings of Mars are needed to form a strong enough ring to support the orbital space of Mars." Sara said.

Fang Ping finally knew how the silver-gray area on the surface of the planet Helic came from, it seemed that it was built by planting ring trees, and the silicon-based plant was indeed equivalent to a cheat to a certain extent, which could quickly change the topography of a terrestrial planet.

In addition to Fang Ping, Sara and others watching the planting of the ring tree, there are also many experts and scholars through the quantum communication system, watching the planting effect on the spot, obviously this kind of ring tree, which can be called a biological miracle, has opened the eyes of many people, and at the same time, their eyes are also bright.

After seeing the planting effect of this ring tree, many scholars have consulted the database of the Soth civilization to investigate the relevant information and applications of the ring tree.

There are also many people who ask about this matter directly to the Soth scientific researchers, and it is obvious that the application of this ring tree is definitely very large, which is conducive to the alliance's comprehensive development of the solar system.

In particular, the terrestrial planets Mars and Venus, as well as many large natural rock moons, can be used to quickly build a framework using ring trees.
