Chapter 13 Eco Cabin
The Dawn of the Ming Dynasty is a powerful comprehensive supply starship. The power is a combination of light pressure and celestial magnetism, and the fuel is the crystallization of energy. The maximum speed is 0.1 times the speed of light. It has a cruising range of up to 100 light-years at maximum speed. Yongle Tianshi left the earth in 1433 A.D. to start the heavenly voyage, at that time in the Ming Dynasty, how to have such advanced interstellar navigation technology and not be recorded in the history books, for Xia is still a mystery, but it will not be long before he will be solved. And why Dawn 2 broke away from the large army and was a light year behind, it will not be long before Summer will know.
The spacecraft has a very good recycling system, and the feces and garbage generated by the internal members will be used reasonably for recycling, and the most important part of this system is the ecological cabin. There is a chicken farm and a farm in the eco-cabin, of course, both of which are compact, otherwise the spacecraft, no matter how large it is, will not have much space for large-scale agricultural production.
When I visited the eco-cabin in the summer, I was also amazed by its magnificence, and when you think about it, the scale of providing the living needs of 60 to 100 people must not be too small. The chickens in the chicken farm are all cage-raised, needless to say, the key is the rational use of space for crops.
The rice fields are stacked layer by layer, and the rice occupies a special cabin, which the Heavenly Master calls the rice mill, which means the workshop for producing rice. In the whole rice mill, there are all field frames that have been built, row by row, layer by layer, each layer has circulating water and artificial sunshine, and the fertilizer comes from the organic fertilizer produced by the fertilizer mill. The rice mill is divided into several different areas, with different temperatures and humidity to accommodate rice production in each season.
There are only two kinds of melons and fruits cultivated in the melon and fruit workshop, that is, oranges and watermelons, and like the rice factory, there are also areas with different temperatures, growing crops at different stages, so as to adapt to the seasonal melons and fruits that can be eaten at any time period. This is also used in vegetable shops.
All fruits, grains, oils and vegetables are stacked layer by layer on the field rack, with circulating water, artificial sunshine and organic fertilizer. Although I don't know much about agricultural production in summer, I also know that crops need fertilizers and pest control. Regarding fertilizer, Spring Peach has already made an introduction, that is, the manure from the crew and the excess of withered and rotten crops. As for insect infestation, all ships were inspected by the time the Celestial Master set sail to ensure that there were no insect infestations inside each ship.
"There are no pests, no pesticides, and the fertilizer is also organic fertilizer, so all the vegetables, fruits and grains eaten on the spaceship are green?" Looking at the spectacular vegetable rack, Summer said with emotion.
"Green? They're green. ”
"By green, I mean pollution-free."
"Chun Tao understands what you mean, my lord, what do you mean by green? In this way, the Celestial Master must ensure the health of every crew member. ”
"But I don't quite understand," asked Summer, "except for hibernation, there is currently only one living person in the whole ship, and you grow so much that I can't eat it, and I can't store it for long." Why is that? ”
"In order to ensure that the ecological cycle does not come to a standstill, the eco-pods have been planted at full capacity for 500 years. Too many chickens and crops are harvested, and the abacus will automatically deal with them, allowing them to rot and turn them into fertilizer for the next crop. ”
Summer was extremely surprised and said, "Huh? That's a waste, isn't it? So much chicken, eggs, rice, oranges, potatoes ......"
"Yes, all the decay is recycled, and there is no waste in the interests of the whole world."
"Okay, maybe you have your point, so many crops, how to operate?"
"All are operated by micro-inch robots, and the abacus programs have been edited, fully automated, and no manual intervention is required."
"It's great, it's amazing. I won't have to worry about food for 60 years after the summer. ”
Visiting the eco-cabin, accompanied by Chun Tao's voice, he continued to visit other parts, and for a whole afternoon (Earth time, there is no difference between morning and afternoon on the spaceship), he also only learned about a small part of the entire spaceship.
Near dinner, Summer came to the starboard side of the ship. It is a long corridor with a row of large floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the right that gives you a clear view of the starry sky outside. Standing in front of the porthole, holding on to the handrail, Summer sighed, what kind of mood should it be to leave the earth and come to this distant starship, the fear and anxiety at the beginning have disappeared, and now his heart is filled with more longing and heroism. He will begin his great life as the captain of the ship.
How big Dawn 2 is, Summer can't imagine it, he only knows that it's big now. After a day of excitement, he now has to accept this harsh reality again, that is, how to face his parents, who are estimated to know about his disappearance at this moment. He was afraid to face it, but he had to face it.
After dinner, Summer sat in his captain's chair in the command module and turned on quantum communication. At this moment, it is half past six o'clock in earth time, the sky is still bright, and the picture is still in the place where it was offline last time, the classroom of the third (26th) class of high school.
Summer pushes the picture out of school and along the path he went to school towards home. He takes the bus to and from school, so he doesn't walk in a straight line, he only "walks" home along the bus line, and several times the picture deviates from the road.
"What's wrong, sir?" Chun Tao asked, and even she could see that Summer was absent-minded.
"It's fine, it's just a little nervous. I don't know how to talk to my parents in a while. ”
Finally, the picture came to the place where his house was, an alley, and his house was in this alley. His house is a bungalow with a small yard in front of the house. As soon as he arrived outside the yard, he heard the cry of his mother in the house, and then saw two policemen walk out of the yard of his house, shake their heads and get out of the police car parked outside.
Summer's heart sank, hesitated for a while, and pushed the picture in. In the living room, the mother cried out in grief: "How can this be, how can this be! Husband, what should I do, what should I do? ”
Father Xia also had tears on his face, choked up and said, "Wife, this day has finally come, but it came too fast, too fast." ”
Hearing my father say this, the originally very uncomfortable summer couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in my heart, what did my father mean by this? couldn't bear to see his parents so sad, Xintian couldn't help but turn on the microphone and said, "Dad, Mom, it's me." ”
"Ahh Summer, it's you, where are you? Mother Xia looked around in a panic.
"Shhhh Don't worry about me. ”
"Summer, summer, baby son, where the hell are you?"
Seeing her mother's face full of tears, Summer couldn't help but blur her eyes with tears, and asked Chun Tao, "Can they see me?" ”
"Of course, please wait."
After a while, I saw a light on the screen, and it was estimated that Chun Tao opened the picture at the end of the quantum communication, and saw Xia's mother open the boss's eyes, and shouted in surprise and joy: "Summer, where are you?" This, this, what's going on? ”
