After the Qinhuang was officially in service, in the first half of a month, there were news about it on the Internet every day, and official media and some technology-oriented media reported its development from time to time.

The relevant parties don’t care too much. Anyway, the information that these media can provide to the general public and overseas are released by themselves. Even if some media have some information channels themselves, all the information that can be posted on the Internet has been modified. Editing will not cause leaks to technology and new equipment.

Although it has been officially in service, the training of the Qinhuang and the crew on the ship is still going on as usual, and they persist every day. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days, the raising of soldiers here does not mean letting the officers and soldiers lie down all day long. Sleep well, eat and drink to nourish fat, but have to train for years and months until the day of retiring. If there is a combat mission in the process, it is time to use troops. All the previous ones. All training is to prepare for the arrival of this day.

The Internet is very lively these days, and it is the Qinhuang amphibious mothership that attracts attention. The gossip news of entertainment stars has been suppressed by the mighty and domineering Qinhuang during this period of time.

These days, the Qinhuang has appeared all over the world. Today, it is still in the port for rest, and tomorrow it will appear in the Atlantic Ocean west of Europe. The photos were taken by people and crews on fishing boats or freighters there and uploaded to the Internet. Perhaps the day after tomorrow he appeared cruising near the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, which scared many people.

The Qinhuanghao's fascinating ability made all countries frightened, and many big mouths who hadn't considered the consequences before did not dare to speak anymore.

The Qinhuang has been training and cruising in seas and airspaces all over the world, and there has been a wave of existence, and the construction of the Hanwu has officially started, the drawings are being revised, and the shipyard is making relevant preparations.

Regarding these, Tang Xiaochuan felt that he did not need to invest too much energy to pay attention to. The following persons in charge will do their job well. During the construction of the Qinhuang, he did not manage much. He fully delegated the authority to the following. Facts proved that he The original method was very famous. The completion time of the Qinhuang was more than a year earlier than expected. The construction time of the new super warship, the amphibious mothership, was not too much in terms of construction time, but seven or eight years. In fact, the project was completed in less than two years. This is the result of fully delegating power to the following. If the layman does not interfere with the insider, there will be a lot of interference and unnecessary disputes.

That day Tang Xiaochuan received a video connection request from Professor Gao of the Scientific Research Center, and he immediately connected, "Professor, hello!"

In the video, Professor Gao said hello: "Hello boss, two years ago, you took the various rock, soil and mineral samples and other samples after the successful completion of the scientific research mission of manned landing on Mars. In the past two years, we have After all the research is completed, we have a better understanding of the geology and mineral distribution of Mars. In the past two years, we have also collected more data on the climate change of Mars through the orbiting fire satellites and the probes left on Mars. We believe The second manned landing on Mars is ready for scientific research!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "What is the scientific research mission for the second manned landing on Mars?"

"Our idea is to build a permanent monitoring station on Mars and continue to carry out more in-depth research on Mars. Based on the analysis of the rock, soil and mineral samples you brought back last time, we found that there are several kinds of If there is no material on the earth, if we can conduct a more comprehensive investigation and research on Mars, I think we will have more and greater discoveries!"

"After the completion of the Mars monitoring station, after investigation, if conditions permit, I think it is possible to build a mining and smelting plant on Mars to mine some materials and rare metal minerals that are not on the earth!"

After listening, Tang Xiaochuan asked, "Are the spacecraft, personnel, materials, equipment and tools ready?"

"The spacecraft, materials, equipment and tools are all ready, and the personnel will ask you to make the final decision!" Professor Gao said.

Tang Xiaochuan thought for a while and asked, "How many people do you plan to arrange for a long-term station at the Mars monitoring station?"

Professor Gao said: "The environment on Mars is much more complicated than that on the moon. I think at least eight people should be sent to stay for a long time. Their mission is to collect the laws and data of the climate change of Mars; investigate the topography of Mars; The distribution of minerals and water resources, as well as more detailed and in-depth research below the Martian crust!"

"As for the stay time, considering that with current technology, it takes too long for the spacecraft to go to Mars, and the cost is relatively high, I think that the first batch of eight people will be sent there. After the monitoring station is completed, one year will be passed. Send eight people to replace them in the past and take one to two months to transfer work, and then the first batch of personnel will return, and every two to three years thereafter, they will be replaced by another group. When the time is right, large-scale transportation equipment will be used to build mineral mining. And the smelting plant!"

Tang Xiaochuan touched his chin and nodded, and said, "If this is the arrangement, the researchers who are sent to Mars must be strictly selected and screened. It is best not to be burdened by family burdens, and not to jump too much in character. No thorns should exist among the members of such scientific research investigation activities. Otherwise, it will be difficult to manage. When the traffic becomes more convenient and high-speed in the future, there is no need to consider this condition. There is no way to set the threshold in this area now!"

Professor Gao said: "The boss is well thought out. The second batch of members of the scientific expedition team can only choose from those who are orphans or whose parents are no longer alive, and have no lovers or children. The members must include doctors, armed guards, and geography. Experts in science, meteorology, maintenance personnel of electronic machinery and equipment, experts in agricultural animals and plants, experts in microbiology, and astrophysics!"

Tang Xiaochuan reminded: "Some jobs and positions can be performed by the same person!"

Professor Gao promised: "I understand that we will fully consider all details and issues, and strive for no omissions!"

To allow these scientific expedition team members to stay on Mars for a long time, and even stay for two to three years, it is necessary to find a way to create conditions for planting crops and raising poultry and livestock on Mars, although there are no conditions for large-scale improvement. The entire Martian environment, but at least these eight people must be able to survive. Rice is well preserved and can be stored for several years. However, it is unrealistic to eat canned food every day, taking into account the nutritional status of the scientific expedition team members. Conditions must be created so that they can grow some crops in a small area, not to mention planting rice, wheat and potatoes. As long as they can grow some fruits and vegetables, it is good enough for these eight people to eat.

However, it is not easy to create such planting conditions. It is necessary to carry a lot of materials and equipment, especially equipment for extracting synthetic water. Although it has been proved that there is water ice in the north and south poles of Mars, after all Too far, it is not easy to fetch, and if there are equipment to make synthetic water, it is completely different.

If water is available and a large enough indoor greenhouse can be built to ensure stable temperature and pressure, it is completely feasible to grow crops on Mars.
