Tens of millions of kilometers away on Earth.
Chen Yushan, who was sitting on the sofa in her living room, was staring intently at the TV screen.
When she saw the landing capsule fall smoothly from the air and land on the surface of Mars, her heart finally relaxed along with the collapsed alloy door.
The news continued to play, and the host's voice came from the TV.
"According to the latest news from the Mars landing office, the second batch of Mars landing personnel has successfully arrived at the scientific research base on the surface of Mars.
"According to the plan, they will rest for a while at the Mars base. After 24 hours, they will set off for the ruins under the Gates of Hell mountain range to make a second contact with the extraterrestrial civilization …"
Han Mengqi, who was also sitting on the sofa and leaning on Chen Yushan's shoulder, also breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her face to look at her sister and spoke with a smile.
"Sister, I told you. Master will definitely be fine."
"I hope so too, but … I still feel a little worried." Chen Yushan smiled embarrassedly and continued, "Speaking of which, is your movie finished?"
Speaking of the movie, Chen Yushan had been looking forward to it.
Although according to the director, there wouldn't be much description of Lu Zhou's love life, seeing a character based on herself appear on the screen still filled her heart with anticipation.
Especially since the character was played by her cousin.
This made her look forward to it even more.
Han Mengqi scratched the back of her head and spoke vaguely.
"It's finished. Anyway, it has already been submitted for review. If the progress is fast, it should be ready before the end of the year. Anyway, the crew said it will be released during the Spring Festival, but it may be earlier or later … I'm not sure. "
"It's all finished?" Chen Yushan looked at her cousin with surprise. She continued to ask curiously, "How does it feel to be filming? Are you interested in being a celebrity? "
"No." Han Mengqi sighed and said, "I can't talk to the people in the crew at all. It's like we're not on the same channel … Sure enough, the laboratory and the library are more suitable for me."
Perhaps because of her master, she always felt that the people in the crew, from the lead to the minor characters, were intentionally or unintentionally trying to please her. It was also because of this that she, who wasn't good at socializing, felt even more uncomfortable.
Every time she finished filming her scenes, she didn't want to stay in the crew for even a minute longer. She didn't even attend the celebration party after the completion of filming. Although she knew that it wasn't good for her to be so unsociable, she couldn't help it.
Looking at her smiling sister, Han Mengqi asked in an embarrassed voice.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just feel like this sentence is quite familiar."
Hearing this, Han Mengqi was slightly stunned. Then, she felt her cheeks heat up.
Chen Yushan didn't notice this change. She held her cousin's hand and said with a smile.
"Can you be my bridesmaid at the end of the year?"
Finally coming back to her senses, Han Mengqi's expression was still a little stiff, but she still forced a smile and said.
"Bridesmaid? Good, good … "
…
When the news of the success of China's second manned Mars landing plan was transmitted back to Earth from Mars, the three functional colonial capsules deployed next to the Mars scientific research base had been connected through silver-white titanium alloy pipes under the operation of the scientific research station staff.
At this point, the scale of China's colonial outpost on Mars had quadrupled compared to before, and the maximum capacity had increased from 10 people to 25.
With the continued advancement of the manned Mars landing plan, this number would further expand until the scale of the Mars colony became the same as today's Guanghan City. The entire Mars colonization plan would enter the next stage.
In the end, China would build a sustainable ecological base on Mars that could achieve a complete cycle. This was also the ultimate goal of the Mars landing road map drawn by Lu Zhou.
When passing by an alloy door with a transparent window, Dr. Romanov, who was following Dr. Ming Wenzhe to visit the interior of the base, suddenly stopped and glanced inside the door.
Behind the glass window was an extremely spacious shed.
Inside the shed, bottles and water tanks filled with liquid were neatly arranged. Through the translucent shell, he could vaguely see the outline of plant roots soaked in the liquid.
Out of curiosity, he asked.
"What is this?"
Ming Wenzhe explained.
"Inside is a planting area, mainly growing some vegetables, potatoes, and corn."
Lomonov's face showed a surprised expression. He looked at him in disbelief.
"Can these crops survive?"
"Of course, why else would we spend so much effort to grow them?" Ming Wenzhe smiled and said, "These seeds are not ordinary seeds, but space crops cultivated by special breeding technology at the lunar scientific research base. With organic fertilizers, not only are they living well, but they are also growing quite well. Although there is still a long way to go before we are completely self-sufficient, at least we can solve the supply of fresh vegetables by ourselves. "
Lomonov stared at the bottles and cans in the shed. He was silent for a while before he spoke in an emotional tone.
"It's incredible … Achieving self-sufficiency on Mars, I always thought this was a concept that only existed in science fiction blockbusters."
"This is nothing, this is just the beginning. If you have seen the Mars colonization plan road map published by the Mars landing office, it is not difficult to see that self-sufficiency is only the beginning. Our ultimate goal is not just self-sufficiency, but also to export food products. Academician Lu even mentioned in the work meeting that one day in the future, he would build this place into the second granary of Earth. "
Granary of Earth?
Lomonov was taken aback for a moment. He then spoke with a smile.
"How is this possible!"
"Abundant freshwater resources, sufficient light, and air … There is nothing here, but it is full of dangerous cosmic rays!"
"You plan to reclaim this place into tens of thousands of acres of fertile land? Stop kidding, this sounds more ridiculous than turning the Sahara Desert into an oasis. "
Ming Wenzhe looked at the disbelieving expression on the Russian aerospace engineer's face. He just smiled faintly and continued nonchalantly.
"It is not ridiculous to transform the Sahara Desert into an oasis. It is still technically possible. In fact, since the breakthrough of controllable fusion technology, we have been trying to transform the desert in the central and western regions into a habitable zone. With the establishment of the Houyi reactor in the central region, this process has also entered the fast lane. It is expected to see results in the middle of the 20th century. "
Seeing Dr. Lomonov's expression gradually wavering, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and continued.
"As for Mars, of course, it is also possible. We do not intend to solve all problems in the 21st century, but if we look at a century or even two centuries later … Who knows? "
Lomonov was shocked by Dr. Ming Wenzhe's statement. It took a while for him to recover from the shock. He spoke slowly.
He spoke slowly, "If you can really do it, it will be a miracle in the history of human civilization."
Ming Wenzhe spoke with a smile.
"Of course we can do it. In fact, we are already doing it."
While the two were talking, the wrist-mounted computer on Lomonov's right arm suddenly flashed with a signal light.
Dr. Ming Wenzhe noticed this and cast a questioning look at him.
"What happened?"
"Academician Lu called us for a meeting, probably to discuss tomorrow's action plan … Where is the meeting room?"
Dr. Ming Wenzhe looked at Dr. Lomonov and nodded with a smile.
"It's just on the way, I'll take you there."
