Su Zhe's seven people circled around in the sky above Moon City.

Zhou Dashi explained, and Su Zhe and the six listened carefully.

"According to the plan, in another year, the eleven industrial cities on the moon will be put into use, but now with brain machines and upgraded humanoid simulant robots and engineering mechas, it will only take half a year to put them into use." Zhou Dashi said, "I just don't know when these will be fully invested?" ”

After speaking, Zhou Dashi looked at several other people.

Xu Zhengping explained: "It is estimated that after the landing on Mars is over, when the large-scale use of brain computers, artificial intelligence, and mecha has enough data to optimize, then it will be fully promoted." ”

A month later, it will land on Mars with 30,000 people, including brain-machines, upgraded humanoid humanoid robots, and engineering mechs.

According to the plan, the process of landing on Mars is a large-scale test of the use of brain-computer, which is actually a test of the entire ecology centered on brain-computer center, or brain-computer combination technology.

"Well, it will take at least two or three months for these to be fully popularized." Zhou Dashi nodded and said, "Two or three months is acceptable, with the brain computer and the upgraded humanoid robot, we will be much more convenient in the future, and many things do not need to be present in person, and the humanoid robot can be completed by remote control." ”

Zuo Dajun said: "There is no need to be so anxious about the development of the moon, just come step by step, even if the eleven industrial cities are completed in advance, if you don't have the supporting facilities behind, you can't keep up at all." ”

"That being said, it's better to finish the construction sooner." Zhou Dashi explained, "We are developing the moon at the same time, a lot of energy is put in the development of Mars planning, the development and construction of the moon is completed a day earlier, we can spare more manpower in the development of Mars, in addition to Mars and other planets in the solar system, there are many space cities, etc., we are engaged in space construction is now busy, seeing that you will land on Mars next month, followed by the full opening of Mars, if the development plan is not made at that time, That's not a delay, is it? ”

Don't look at the fact that it has not landed on Mars yet, but the probes who have landed on Mars have already explored Mars.

Based on the data collected by the rover, they plan for the development of Mars.

After landing on Mars and collecting more detailed data, the Mars development plan will be given.

This is the only way to avoid losing time.

What they want to do is not only the development of Mars, but also the other planets in the solar system, as well as space cities all over the solar system.

These take a little bit of time to plan and design.

Bao Qi nodded and said, "No one thought that this space architecture has flourished, and this development momentum far exceeds that of other disciplines. ”

"That's, who brought us to the good times." Zhou Dashi said.

Fan Xiaoming glanced at the ground and said, "The ground of Moon City has been almost seen, let's go visit the Moon City dungeon now, relative to the ground, the underground part of Moon City is the main part." ”

This is true of the eleven industrial cities built on the Moon, the bulk of which is underground.

If the height of the building above ground is not more than 100 meters, the depth of the underground is generally more than 500 meters.

"Yes! Yes! Zuo Dajun said, "I have no interest in those automated and intelligent manufacturing factories, but I am very interested in the underground planting area and breeding area, and I want to see if the planting area and breeding area below can really achieve food self-sufficiency for 10 million people." ”

Although Wolseong is positioned as an industrial city, it is designed to be self-sufficient in food and has its own planting and breeding areas.

Of course, the premise of Moontown's food self-sufficiency is a constant supply of energy.

For Moon City, its energy supply is the most important.

Once the energy supply is cut off, even relying on Mooncity's own four nuclear power plants will not be a long-term solution.

The only energy it can rely on is the energy provided by the light pillar project.

Xu Zhengping nodded and said, "En!" I'm also quite interested, but I don't know if the planting area and breeding area have been put into use at that point. ”

"It's not in use yet, but some of it is being tested." Zhou Dashi said, "Since we are all interested, then let's go down and have a look, but then again, with the current agricultural technology and breeding technology, as long as there is sufficient energy, there is no worry about having nothing to eat." ”

Su Zhe and the others flew to the ground under the leadership of Zhou Dashi and landed in front of a small building.

A group of seven people walked into the small building.

Under the guidance of Zhou Dashi, several people entered a large elevator, especially one side of the elevator was transparent.

Zhou Dashi explained: "This is a special elevator for tours, and we will take this elevator to reach a position of 500 meters underground. ”

After the elevator doors close, the elevator begins to descend.

In just a dozen seconds, the elevator stopped.

At the same moment, the bright elevator doors opened.

The group stepped out of the elevator and came to this brightly lit space.

Zhou Dashi took Su Zhe and the six people to the depths of the space, explaining at the same time.

"The space we are in now is a planting area, the clear height of the space is eight meters, the area is 100 square kilometers, there are 50 same planting areas in this area, and there are many three-dimensional planting areas like this."

"The space where we are now can only be regarded as a blank, and it will be filled with 50 centimeters of artificial soil in the later stage, and the corresponding equipment and facilities will be installed."

"The planting area is automated and intelligent, from the sowing of crop seeds to the mature harvest, all of which are unmanned, because the planting environment here is completely controlled, and the planting of crops is completely in accordance with the growth cycle of crops.

……

A group of seven people wandered around the empty space for a while.

Zuo Dajun pointed to the glowing lamp at the top of the space and asked, "Can this lamp simulate sunlight?" ”

Zhou Dashi replied with a smile: "Yes, almost all sunlight can be simulated, but in fact, these are not lamps in the traditional sense...... I'll be able to simulate it now. ”

With that, the intensity of the light in the space began to change.

In just three minutes, the lights simulate the intensity and light of the sun from morning to night.

"With our current mastery of optical materials, it's normal to simulate sunlight," Bao said. ”

Zhou Dashi nodded, "That's right." ”

A few people chatted a few more words, Xu Zhengping said: "It's not early, let's go to see the experimental area, go back to sleep after reading it, there will be a press conference tomorrow, and we can't delay everyone's rest time." ”

Seven people leave the space and return to the elevator.

In the process of the elevator descending, pass one such space after another.

Just as we were about to reach the lowest floor, there was a sudden slight change in the interior of the elevator.

Zuo Dajun felt it and said: "This elevator is starting to be pressurized, is this increasing air?" ”

Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Xu Zhengping, and Bao Qizheng also felt it.

Zhou Dashi nodded and explained: "Yes, we will soon go to the planting experimental area, it is necessary to rush into the air in the elevator, and when the Moon City is fully completed, it will not be like this, and then the entire area will be covered by air." ”

Han Li said: "The upgraded humanoid robot is different, like the humanoid robot in the past, it can only rely on the sensors it carries to detect, which is far worse than the upgraded one." ”

Judging from the performance of the principals, when the elevator environment changed, the five people felt it at the first time.

Just like the data he saw, the upgraded humanoid robot is aimed at a real person, and everything is done according to a real person, and now it seems that this is really the case.

Bauchi was smiling and nodding.

The elevator soon came to the minus 50 floor.

Unlike the other floors, it is a patch of green.

The elevator door opened, and a group of seven people floated out of the elevator.

Under the leadership of Zhou Dashi, several people began to visit this planting area.

"You see, all the greens are grown here, and in a few days, they will be ready to be picked."

"The environment here is completely set according to the growth needs of green vegetables, whether it is light or humidity, etc., if you can't simulate it, then gravity is left, compared to here, the space farm can simulate 100% of the earth's environment."

"Relatively speaking, the low gravity of the moon has a somewhat effect on the growth of crops, but it is within a manageable range."

……

"You see, this piece is planted with rice, this rice has only grown into rice seedlings, and it will take more than two months to grow rice if you want to grow rice, compared to rice, the growth cycle of green vegetables is short, and you can harvest a stubble in half a month, which is just that such green vegetables taste very poor, and we generally don't do this."

"Do you think that the crops grown here will taste bad, but this is not the case, for the growth of these crops, we not only take into account the harvest of the crops, but also take into account the taste of the crops, besides, we don't have to sacrifice the quality, that is, the taste and nutritional value, because of the yield."

"This piece is planted with wheat, and in the same way, because of the problem of time, the wheat seedlings will only emerge, and it will take a long time to wait for the harvest."

】

……

"This large area is planted with peach trees transplanted from the earth, and as you can see, these peach trees are blooming, and it won't be long before there are peaches to eat."

"There are apples, pears and so on, all transplanted from the earth, and the planting area of 100 square kilometers in this layer is divided into many small areas, the purpose is to try planting, and when the moon is fully completed, these crops will be fully rolled out."

"Compared with this large-scale automated planting, the waste is also very serious, but there is no way to do it, and we will not care about this waste."

……

A group of seven people stood aside and watched the automated device clean up the sprouts that had grown.

The whole process was clean, the grown sprouts were directly collected, and the land where the sprouts were planted was all removed, and then new soil was laid.

Sow seeds on new soil.

It took ten minutes for the bean sprouts to be planted on an acre of land.

Zuo Dajun sighed, "This speed is really fast enough, just after a while, the bean sprouts have been harvested, and new seeds have been planted, just waiting for the next harvest, with such efficiency, human beings will never worry about eating and drinking in the future." ”

Fully automated and intelligent planting, humans only need to provide technical support in the back.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there are enough resources and energy, there will be an endless supply of food.

Judging from the current science and technology and reality, as long as human beings do not die, they will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future, especially after the success of space farms, space ranches, and space fisheries.

Bao Qi is nodding, "Yes, but the energy consumed is also amazing, in terms of the process of harvesting and planting bean sprouts, plus the subsequent soil treatment, etc., it consumes a lot of energy, not to mention environmental control and automation equipment, think about this acre of land has been replaced, and the replaced land is to be processed, how much energy does this process consume, to put it bluntly, this kind of planting is heavily dependent on energy." ”

Carve out such a planting space under the moon.

Nothing at first.

Aside from the gravity provided by the Moon, this space is really not much different from a complete vacuum.

In this space, it is necessary to create an environment suitable for the growth of crops.

If the initial investment is a one-time investment of resources, then it must be maintained with a steady stream of resources and energy.

It's good to say that the resources are the core.

The entire underground cultivation system in Moon City needs a steady stream of energy to sustain it.

Fan Xiaoming nodded, "Relying on energy is for sure, in a harsh environment like the moon, it is nothing to grow these, and consume some energy." ”

"Why don't you consume energy?" Zuo Dajun said with some disdain, "Everything consumes energy, even if it is planted on a large scale on the earth, it will also consume a lot of energy, not to mention that I have never heard the word oil agriculture, planting on the moon is nothing more than consuming more energy to maintain the environment, but then again, now we really have no shortage of energy, as long as the sun does not go out, we can have a steady stream of energy." ”

On the whole, what does not consume energy.

All material activities consume energy.

For now, after the start of the light pillar project, mankind will not have to worry about energy shortages for a long time.

Compared to the planting area under the Moon City, as long as there is a steady stream of energy, it can maintain the environment required by the cultivation area for a long time, and it can also use the natural resources of the moon to provide the materials needed for the growth of these crops.

In other words, as long as there is a steady stream of energy in the underground planting area of Moon City, it can be maintained for a long time.

The same is true for space farms, space ranches, and space fisheries.

It also requires a constant supply of energy from the light pillar project.

Take the earth as an example, if there is no solar energy provided by the sun, without the energy provided by the sun, what will be left of life on the earth?
