Fang Ping held the first working meeting of the Mars Territory in Utopia City. As the Utopia District with the largest infrastructure and scale in the Mars Territory currently, it was naturally designated as the temporary capital by the Alliance Council.

The Mars Territory is currently divided into 10 districts, namely Utopia District, Soth-Helic Republic, Northern District, Meridian District, Canyon District, Amazon District, Xinhua District, New Greece District, Southern District, and Satellite District.

However, there are currently only four districts with complete administrative establishment and city districts, namely Satellite District, Utopia District, Helic Republic, and Canyon District. The other districts exist in name only.

So in the holographic conference room, there were only four people, including Fang Ping and Sara.

"Everyone, tell me your opinions on the development of the Mars area!" Fang Ping said straight to the point.

"The Mariner mass projector in our canyon area will be completed next month. By then, it will be easier for us to exchange materials with outer space." Plank, the director of the effect area, said.

Masashi Kishimoto, the mayor of the satellite area, opened a star map and said: "We must take advantage of the Mars Territory. After all, the asteroid belt is our jurisdiction, and we can use many mineral resources in it."

"Official history is right. Last year, the mineral resource extraction industry in the asteroid belt brought us a tax rebate of 160 billion. If we can make full use of the mineral resources of these asteroids, we can achieve self-sufficiency as soon as possible. "Fang Ping nodded and said.

"Actually, we have a technology that can be used to directionally cultivate a silicon-based plant called a space ring tree, which can be combined into a space ring city." Sarah said suddenly.

"Oh! What does the space ring tree look like?" Fang Ping asked with interest.

Sarah quickly opened the holographic bracelet and retrieved the relevant information about the space ring tree from the database of Soth civilization.

The space ring tree is similar to the light crystal tree, but it is a silicon-based plant specially modified by the Soth people. It can directly and quickly generate a ring-shaped space silicon-based plant in space. Of course, it is best to have An asteroid rich in resources can host it, so it can be generated very conveniently.

The size of this kind of space ring tree can be customized, with a maximum radius of about 610 meters. Then, by combining the space ring trees one by one, an orbital ring can be formed around the planet.

With sufficient resources, the frame construction of an orbital ring can be completed in one or two months, and then the orbital ring can be transformed inside and used as a factory, port, and daily life.

"This is the Space Ring Tree..." Sarah explained, pointing to the holographic projection.

"How many resources are needed to build a Mars orbital ring?" Fang Ping asked after looking at the information.

"300 to 400 asteroids with a radius of 1 kilometer can complete the framework construction, and the remaining facilities can be slowly added." Sara replied.

After discussing with the other two people, Fang Ping decided to build a Mars orbital ring. However, the Mars orbital ring not only has the orbital ring part, but also has orbital pillars connected to the planet's ground. This thing can be used as a space elevator bracket.

The reason why the planet Heliconia does not have such an orbital ring is mainly because the planet Heliconia has no atmosphere and low gravity. In this case, there is no need to set up an orbital ring.

The Alliance Council also agreed with the development plan of Mars Territory and approved a development fund of 600 billion for Mars Territory.

…

In the silicon-based plant preparation factory in Utopia City, many Soos researchers and Blue Star researchers are busy. In a petri dish with a diameter of more than 10 meters, a silver-gray sphere slightly larger than a basketball is being used with the help of instruments. , gradually splitting.

This is the seed of the space ring tree. Previously, the Soth people had a total of 137 original seeds of the space ring tree.

There are a total of 20 petri dishes in the factory, and these petri dishes can divide and reproduce 200 original seeds a day.

"Director Li Liang, the culture medium is somewhat insufficient." Chief Engineer Lei Hao looked at the inventory and said.

Li Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How long can we support it?"

"Production takes about 2 days."

"The production factory in the satellite area is not that fast. It will take about 6 days for the next batch of culture solution to arrive at the earliest." Li Liang looked at the production arrangement and said.

"Let them hurry up! Otherwise it will affect the production task." Lei Hao said anxiously.

"I'm already urging them. One of their production equipment broke down a few days ago, and they are waiting for spare parts from Blue Star." Li Liang spread his hands helplessly.

A batch of seeds that had just been split and propagated were sent into a genetic adjustment cabin. The staff quickly started the instrument and adjusted the genetic sequence of the space ring tree seeds. This is a space ring tree seed for ground use. This model is the same as that in The ones used in space are different.

the other side.

Sarah took Fang Ping to inspect the southern region of the Helic Republic, which is the equatorial region of Mars.

The two of them were riding in a flying shark mechanical beast unique to the Helic Republic. This is a super large mechanical beast. This flying shark mechanical beast can float and fly in the air.

There are also two flying shark mechanical beasts on the side, but these two flying shark mechanical beasts are engineering models.

Fang Ping looked at the situation below with a telescope: "Is this the ground-type ring-shaped tree?"

"Yes." Sarah nodded and replied.

I saw the bottom of the flying shark mechanical beast driving an activated ring-shaped tree seed into the ground. After a while, the ring-shaped tree seed grew rapidly, and even the rock formations on the ground were stretched open.

Silver-gray branches and vines spread in all directions. In less than an hour, the silver-gray branches and vines densely covered an area with a radius of about 5 kilometers.

Fang Ping turned on the holographic bracelet and called up the neutrino radar scan. It could be seen that the silver-gray branches had spread deep underground.

As ring-shaped tree seeds were driven into the ground one by one, in less than a day, a silver-gray zone 10 kilometers wide and 240 kilometers long appeared in the equatorial region of Mars.

The length of the equator of Mars is about 21,331 kilometers (the diameter of the equator is 6,790 kilometers). If multiple sections are constructed at the same time, as long as there are enough ring-shaped tree seeds, the construction speed can reach about 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers a day.

"It seems that at this rate, the construction can be completed in about a month." Fang Ping said with a smile.

"However, the production of ring tree seeds is insufficient. Two equatorial rings of Mars are needed to form enough strength to support the empty ring of Mars orbit." Sarah spread her hands and said.

Fang Ping finally knew how the silver-gray area on the surface of the planet Helic came from. It seemed that it was built by planting ring-shaped trees. To a certain extent, silicon-based plants are indeed equivalent to cheating devices, which can quickly change a planet. Landforms of terrestrial planets.

In addition to Fang Ping, Sara and others who were watching the planting of ring trees, there were also many experts and scholars watching the planting effects on site through the quantum communication system. Obviously, this ring tree, which can be called a biological miracle, has made many people excited. His vision also brightened up at the same time.

After seeing the effect of ring-shaped tree planting, many scholars consulted the database of Soth civilization to investigate the relevant information and applications of ring-shaped trees.

There are also many people who directly asked the Soos researchers about this matter. Obviously, the application of this ring tree is definitely very large, which is conducive to the alliance's comprehensive development of the solar system.

Especially the terrestrial planets Mars and Venus, as well as many large natural rock satellites, can use ring trees to quickly build frameworks.
