Chapter 319 Lunar Soil Transformation

Inside the office.

In addition to the holographic projections of Lu Chen and Lu Zhou, there is also the holographic projection of Zhang Mingbo.

Obviously, the three of them are holding a top-level meeting about Guanghan City.

"2806 people?"

Lu Chen tapped on the table lightly, and his thoughts surged for a while.

After a while, he turned to look at Zhang Mingbo and asked, "So far, how many applicants are willing to immigrate to Guanghan City?"

Hear this question.

Zhang Mingbo, who was in charge of the immigration registration in Guanghan City, had a strange expression on his face.

He replied: "Boss, as of now, the total number of applicants is 540, 510.

Almost every virtual network user in Huaguo has signed up. "

"so much?"

Not to mention Zhang Mingbo, Lu Chen was also shocked by this terrifying statistic.

Sure enough, no one in this world is a fool.

Although Guanghan City's childbearing model is unacceptable to some people for a short time, its welfare policy is simply too attractive to the majority of Huaguo virtual network users.

Coupled with the crisis that people are faintly aware of now, people can't help but make an almost unanimous decision.

Not to mention that this immigration policy has the full support of the Chinese government behind it.

That's why there are now such exaggerated data. Almost everyone who has experienced the charm of Guanghan City in the virtual world wants to immigrate to this city.

After all, according to the official statement, although Guanghan City is good, its immigration threshold is almost the lowest among all cities in the world.

It is different from the typical elite immigrant city like Civilized Science City.

If you want to settle down in Guanghan City, it depends more on luck!
That is, a lottery is drawn among many applicants.

If you are lucky, even if you are just an ordinary person in all aspects, you can still become a member of Guanghan City. If you are not lucky, even if you are considered excellent among ordinary people, you may not be selected.

Of course, those truly outstanding scientific researchers are not among the ranks of luck.

For example, top scientific research talents like Lu Zhou and Shen Li, even if the earth explodes, Lu Chen must ensure that they are the last group of people to die.

On the side, when Lu Zhou heard that so many people were willing to sign up to settle in Guanghan City, he also felt a little inconceivable.

After all, only the first urban area of ​​Guanghan City has been completed for the time being, with a maximum population of 25.

With so few people living on the moon, it's pretty lonely just thinking about it.

Moreover, according to the regulations of the Guanghan City Immigration Bureau, all residents who go to settle in Guanghan City, unless there are special circumstances, are not allowed to return to Earth within five years.

In addition, alien immigration is the first time for the entire human civilization.

Who knows if there will be an accident?

Can anyone guarantee that the fragile ecological cycle system of Guanghan City will not collapse, and that the lives of residents who immigrate to Guanghan City will not be in danger?
No one can guarantee it!

Even Lu Zhou, the chief engineer in charge of the Guanghan City project, could not make this guarantee.

Just when Lu Chen and the others were discussing the immigration plan of Guanghan City.

A major study is underway within the Institute of Life Sciences at the Academy of Civilization Sciences.

Institute of Life Sciences.

Lu Lin, who is the director, is staring intently at the large experimental field in front of her.

Beside him, a group of assistants were recording various experimental data.

Waited for about half an hour.

It seemed that all the preparations for the experiment had been completed. A researcher in a white coat approached Lu Lin and respectfully said, "Lu Institute, everything is ready."

Lu Lin nodded and said in a deep voice, "Let's get started!"

"Yes!"

Following the speech of the top person in charge of the Life Science Research Institute.

A drone group composed of drones, in a matrix formation, spread out over the desert experimental field.

next second.

A large amount of unknown green liquid was sprayed from the belly of the drone, showing a small artificial rainfall in front of the scientific researchers.

It's just that the rain in this artificial rainfall is not ordinary rain, but "green rain" composed of unknown green liquid.

Seeing the spectacular scene in front of them, all the researchers in the Institute of Life Sciences couldn't help feeling excited.

Only they know what this research will mean to mankind once it is successful!
10 minute later.

The artificial rainfall stopped, and the green liquid was sprayed on the gravel, covering the desert experimental field with a layer of green.

"Lu Suo, all the silicon-phagers have been released."

"Ok!"

Lu Lin continued to stare at the experimental field without saying a word.

The assistant next to him couldn't hold back, and asked, "Lu Suo, can silicon-phagers really convert gravel into soil?"

Although she was an in-depth participant in this experiment, she still had doubts about the results of the experiment at the moment when the results of the experiment were finally announced.

"Definitely!"

Lu Lin thought for a while and said, "There is no clear boundary between gravel and soil. Under certain circumstances, the soil loses organic matter such as humus. It will slowly turn into sand, and the sand will slowly become sand after absorbing organic matter. earth."

"But... we are using lunar soil here."

As we all know, although the surface of the lunar soil is gravel-like, it is no different from the sand in the desert on the earth, but in fact the difference between the two is huge.

In addition to the ingredients in the earth's sand, the lunar soil also contains many mineral ingredients.

Such as iron, gold, silver, lead and other mineral particles.

This characteristic, coupled with the unique geographical environment on the moon, makes it impossible to grow plants.

The current major ecological zones in Guanghan City seem to have many green plants like virgin forests, but this is the result of the great efforts of the Civilization and Science City to transport a large amount of soil and decaying organic matter from the earth.

Since the first urban area of ​​Guanghan City is not large, with a total area of ​​only more than 50 square kilometers, it is still possible to use the colonial spaceship to transport the earth's soil.

But with the large-scale expansion of Guanghan City in the future, it is obviously impossible to use this method.

The Guanghan City Engineering Committee must adapt to local conditions and directly transform the lunar soil so that it can meet the conditions for planting plants on the earth.

This is easier said than done.

From the plant's point of view, in order for plants to grow to survive, they need to meet the five basic conditions of sunlight, temperature, water, air, and nutrients.

But now Guanghan City has actually solved the four basic conditions.

The artificial atmosphere transformed from the canopy system has met the requirements of air, sunlight, and temperature, and the water can be transported from the earth.

Only nutrients, that is, soil problems, are the biggest obstacles to growing plants on the moon.

The solution adopted by the Guanghan City Engineering Committee before is the same as the solution to moisture, which is to transport it from the earth.

It can be said.

In the first city project of Guanghan City, at least 60% of the transportation resources of the colony spacecraft were allocated to soil and water.

Among them, soil occupies more transportation resources than water, accounting for at least 40% of the total transportation resources.

In this way, in order to create an artificial ecological cycle system, the cost is too high.

If the problem of lunar soil planting can be solved, at least the construction cost can be reduced by two-thirds.

Lu Lin's team couldn't be more clear about the significance of this!

As long as this problem can be overcome, it means that the colony spacecraft will no longer use 40% of the transportation resources to transport the earth's soil, but directly transform the lunar soil to grow plants.

The significance of this is not only to liberate transportation resources, but also to mean that mankind will take a historic step in transforming the lunar environment.

From a certain point of view, once this research is successful, it means that humans will have the ability to initially transform the planet!

ten hours later.

It's late at night.

Civilized Science City seaside villa area.

Lu Chen was awakened by the sudden news.

in the bedroom.

When the light came on, Qin Ruolan sat up and stared at Lu Chen who was getting dressed.

"what happened?"

"An important research by the Institute of Life Sciences has succeeded, which is about the technology of lunar soil modification."

Hearing this, Qin Ruolan suddenly lost sleepiness.

Guanghan City is a city of civilization and science, no, to be precise, it is the largest project in human history.

This project was built by gathering the strength of almost all human countries.

Although the City of Civilization and Science contributed the most to this project, other countries, especially major countries, contributed a lot of resources.

Especially Huaguo.

For this project, Huaguo cut off almost all economic and technological development goals and fully supported this project.

Of course, the country that benefited the most from this project was also Hua Guo.

Because it was built by Lu Chen for the Hua people, more than 99% of the residents in Guanghan City will be Hua people in the future.

If the fate of f-1704 hitting the earth cannot be changed, then Huaguo may be the only remaining fire of human civilization.

As for those high-level elites from other countries who abandoned their own people to go to Guanghan City, even if they successfully settled in Guanghan City, they would be reduced to the bottom of Guanghan City and survive.

Moreover, due to the reproductive system in Guanghan City, their future genocide is a certainty.

The only benefit is that this group of people can live until they die naturally.

Qin Ruolan is one of the top leaders of the Civilized Science City. She knows too well what transforming the lunar soil means to the Guanghan City project.

without any exaggeration.

Once this technology is successful, Guanghan City expects to accommodate the small target of tens of millions of people in more than three years, and at least double it.

The colony spacecraft will completely liberate its own transportation capabilities, transform the lunar environment in the future, and no longer need to rely on the soil resources on the earth.

The importance of this technology is almost comparable to that of Guanghan City's artificial atmosphere technology, and it is one of the basic technologies for transforming life-bearing planets.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Qin Ruolan lifted the quilt, revealing her beautiful figure.

Soon, the two of them got dressed and rushed to the Academy of Civilization and Science by private plane in the dark.

Lu Zhou, who rushed to the Academy of Civilization and Science with Lu Chen, was also the general manager of the Guanghan City Project.

Compared to Lu Chen, Lu Zhou seemed to be more excited after hearing the news.

Because compared to Lu Chen, Lu Zhou is more aware of how difficult it is for these researchers to build the ecological cycle system of Guanghan City, and how much they have paid.

Now that he heard that Lu Lin had solved the lunar soil planting problem, how could Lu Zhou hold back.

Among Lu Zhou's group, Shen Li, the vice president and deputy chief engineer of Guanghan City Engineering Committee, came with him.

After all, in addition to this identity, Shen Li also has another identity, which is to represent the Hua Guo government.

The transformation of the lunar soil is such a big event.

It is impossible and should not be hidden from him.

Therefore, after receiving Lu Chen's approval, the underground city of the Academy of Civilization and Science welcomed the first "outsider" from the non-civilized science city system.

along the way.

Compared with the lunar soil transformation technology, Shen Li was even more shocked by the scene before him.

He couldn't imagine how crazy people would be to build such a huge city at a depth of 700 meters.

Compared with the past, the current Academy of Sciences has undergone tremendous changes.

First of all.

The biggest change is its area.

After learning that the f-1704 asteroid was about to hit the earth, the Academy of Civilization Sciences accelerated the expansion plan of the underground city.

Originally, although the Academy of Civilization and Science was an underground city, its actual area was not comparable to the City of Civilization and Science.

And now.

Its actual area is almost the same as the Civilized Science City.

The only thing that can't compare to the City of Civilization and Science is the population of this underground city.

The current Academy of Civilization Sciences still has less than [-] scientific researchers. Other than that, they are intelligent robots serving this scientific research group.

Such as medical robots, scientific research assistant robots, cleaning robots, security robots and so on.

The population of intelligent robots is huge.

Much more than the R-type clones of the Academy of Civilization Sciences.

In particular, there are more than 100 million construction robots expanding the underground city.

This is also the main reason why the Civilization Academy of Sciences has expanded to be comparable to the City of Civilization Sciences in just a few months.

have to say.

With artificial intelligence technology, human productivity has once again exploded.

In the past.

It takes several years or even ten years to build a city, but now, as long as there are sufficient resources, an entire city can be built from scratch in just a few months.

in low orbit.

Lu Chen and the others were on the same low-altitude aircraft.

Seeing Shen Li's shocked expression, Lu Chen explained with a smile: "This city is another preparation for f-1704 hitting the earth."

Hearing this, Shen Li nodded clearly.

The more he learned about the perverted industrial power of the Civilized Science City, the more he was afraid of this power in his heart.

Fortunately, the City of Civilization and Science is led by Lu Chen, a native of China.

If it is dominated by people of other races, I am afraid that the top leaders of Huaguo will not be able to sleep collectively.

As for Lu Chen's explanation that this city was in response to the f-1704's impact on the earth, Shen Xin didn't doubt it.

Because in addition to participating in the Guanghan City plan, Huaguo also has a similar underground base city plan.

In fact, not only China, but all countries have underground refuge projects.

It's just that the asteroid f-1704 is too big. If it is allowed to hit the earth directly, the earth is likely to be directly smashed by it.

Therefore, this underground refuge project is more like a kind of self-comfort.

Unless the f-1704 asteroid can be destroyed and it will turn into a meteorite rain and land on the earth, this kind of underground shelter still has a certain meaning.

Otherwise, Guanghan City is more likely to survive.
