Universe dominance

In the Sky City in outer space, Li Fu and Chen Bin sat on movable chairs and followed Luo Xiaoyao to visit the entire Sky City.

Because it is only affected by microgravity, there is no difference in all directions such as up and down, front and back, etc. in the entire Sky City. From time to time, other staff are driving moving chairs above everyone's heads, and they can interact with each other by raising their heads. see.

"The area we are currently in is the space port area. It has been fully completed and put into use. It has 8 space port terminals. Each terminal is more than 2,000 meters long and can park hundreds of "Hercules" aerospace aircraft at the same time. If It is a small aerospace aircraft, and the number that can be parked is even larger.”

Luo Xiaoyao led the way while explaining in detail to Li Fu and Chen Bin.

Li Fu naturally knew the detailed data of the space port very clearly, and could even recite it by heart. However, when he actually came to visit the space, he still felt very novel. From time to time, he looked through the thick tempered glass. Space, from time to time, would ask questions about this and that, appearing very curious.

"We can see China's Tiangong Space Station from this position, but if you want to see it clearly, you still need to use a telescope."

Luo Xiaoyao handed a pair of binoculars to Li Fu and pointed at a window.

Li Fu used his binoculars to look in the direction. A huge space building complex appeared in his field of vision. The scale of the "Tiangong" space station was already very large. One space capsule after another formed a very large group. The overall size is far beyond Li Fu's Sky City.

"The Tiangong Space Station has tens of thousands of space capsules, of which the large space capsules launched later account for more than 90%. The length of a space capsule is more than 50 meters and the diameter reaches 5 meters. All of them are built using large aerospace aircraft. Transporting it into space, only we in China have such a huge effort. "

Luo Xiaoyao said very proudly that although he was working for Li Fu now, he was from the army after all, and his patriotic feelings still overflowed.

"It's really amazing. Tsk tsk. I've seen dozens of this aerospace plane at the Tiangong Space Station alone. Basically, every once in a while, there are aerospace planes flying over from the ground, and there are also aerospace planes flying to the moon or other places. It’s the earth, it’s very busy!”

Li Fu nodded and handed the telescope to Chen Bin. "Tiangong" is now the largest man-made building complex in the entire space. Li Fu's Sky City is not even a bit different from it.

"Huge is very huge, but its construction method is still limited to the old-fashioned space capsule model, and the use of space is still very poor. Although our Sky City is far inferior to it as a whole, its future development should be better. Some."

After reading it, Chen Bin nodded, pondered for a moment and then expressed his opinion.

"Lao Luo, take us to other areas."

Li Fu smiled and shook his head, and began to inspect again.

"This is our living area. The living area is mainly used for resting and exercising in space."

Soon, everyone came to the living area of ​​Sky City. In each room, some people were sleeping in sleeping cabins, and some were constantly doing some mechanical stretching exercises, and there were still quite a few people.

"Because there is no gravity in space or is only affected by microgravity, the human bones will appear a bit redundant in this case. If you stay in space for a long time, the human bones will be in a relaxed state for a long time, and the bones inside the bones will be in a state of relaxation. The calcium will be lost, and once it returns to the ground, it will be completely paralyzed. "

"So in space, astronauts must exercise for at least 2 hours every day. The exercise method is to use mechanical stretching. This can greatly slow down the loss of bone calcium, so that it will not be lost when they return to the ground. As a result, he became disabled for life.”

Luo Xiaoyao explained to a group of sweating astronauts and scientists the importance of physical exercise in space. Human bones evolved because of the earth's gravity, and bones are needed to support the body.

"Lao Luo, you must do a good job in supervising this aspect. You must insist on exercising to the prescribed time every day. In addition, our company's people must set a reasonable range for the time they spend in space. It is best not to overdo it. It will take a few days before someone needs to be replaced and returned to the ground.”

After listening, Li Fu nodded, and then thought carefully about it and told Luo Xiaoyao.

"I see."

Luo Xiaoyao nodded, and was very touched that his boss cared so much about the health of his employees.

Soon, everyone came to the agricultural area again. As soon as they entered the agricultural area, they were suddenly filled with green. There were rows of shelves here, and various crops were growing very well. Many of them had already blossomed and bore fruit. .

"This rice is incredible. It can actually produce several ears of rice. This must be genetic technology?"

As soon as Chen Bin, who was born in the countryside, saw a patch of golden rice in the agricultural area, he quickly walked over and looked at it carefully, and then he immediately exclaimed.

He has seen a lot of rice since he was a child, and he worked in the farmland with his parents a lot when he was a child. Rice has only one ear. This has been a thing since ancient times, but now the rice seen in space is like corn, with one ear. One ear of rice bloomed at the end of the festival, and it was unbelievable that one rice plant actually had several ears of rice.

"No, all the crops here are purely original and definitely not genetically modified. This is true for rice, which is also a very ordinary seed. It is not even a hybrid rice."

After hearing what Chen Bin said, a man in a white coat who was studying the crops carefully came over and answered with a smile.

"Are you Gu Feng?"

When Li Fu saw him, he carefully recalled his details in his mind and immediately knew his details. He was a top student who graduated from Teito University in biomedicine and was also a scientist at the Institute of Biological Sciences of Fuyun Institute of Science and Technology. The most important thing now was research. Biogenetic technology.

"Brother Fu."

Gu Feng was slightly moved in his heart. He didn't expect that Li Fu would know about him.

"Gu Feng, since it is an original ecological crop, why does this rice undergo such huge changes after entering space? Each node of it can actually produce an ear of rice. This is absolutely impossible on earth. "

Chen Bin pulled out a rice plant, observed it carefully, and carefully counted the number of rice grains on each ear. He took the millet in his hands and rubbed it to test the fullness of the grain.

He was surprised to find that the number of millet on these rice ears reached more than 150. Generally, there are at least three rice ears on a rice plant. In total, this rice plant actually has 450 millet grains, which is more than the number of millet grains on the earth. The yield of hybrid rice with the highest yield is more than 2 times higher.

In addition to the greatly increased yield, Chen Bin also found that these rice grains were very full and almost uniform. There was no doubt that they were the best rice.

"We haven't fully understood this phenomenon yet. In fact, not only rice, but also wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., have very high yields in space. Generally, they are several times higher than those grown on the ground. , some are like some vine crops, and their yields are even more terrifying.”

"Everyone, please look at this beans. Its production is more than ten times that on the earth. This is watermelon, its production is more than ten times more than that on the earth. There are also pumpkins, winter melons, cucumbers, etc., The output has generally increased by more than ten times, and the quality is very good, the taste is good, and the nutritional value is extremely high. It is definitely the top agricultural product.”

Gu Feng nodded and began to explain in detail to everyone. Everyone followed his explanation and saw that a string bean plant had many branches. Each branch was covered with string beans, and the watermelon vines spread. A large area of ​​huge watermelons is floating quietly. Even people who don't know anything about agriculture can tell at a glance that the yield is very high.

"It should be related to the lack of gravity in space, right?"

Li Fu touched his chin. Li Fu had been accustomed to seeing these crops since he was a child. He often helped his parents with farm work when he was a child. Of course, he knew that the yield of these crops on the earth was definitely not so terrible.

"Well, for now, it can only be attributed to the changes that occur in an environment that is not affected by gravity or in microgravity in space. Of course, there is also a very important reason that we all conduct precise measurements based on the needs of various crops. Cultivation, how much water, how much nutrients, nutrient composition, etc. are needed.”

"Of course, another reason is that this is space, and the sunlight is very abundant, even 24 hours a day. There are no pests or diseases in space, and there is no need to use pesticides. wait."

"The combination of many factors makes the yield of crops so high, and the quality is very good. The crops produced have a very good taste and high nutritional value."

Gu Feng nodded and pointed out the advantages of high yield, high quality, and pollution-free crops in space.

"In this way, space agriculture really has great potential. Even if the cost of transporting water resources is not cheap, once the output is increased, and it is a high-quality crop, there is still a lot of profit margin. ”

Luo Xiaoyao, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but nod his head and calculated carefully with his fingers.

"Of course there is a lot to do. There is unlimited space and unlimited sunlight in space. As long as we make good use of the space and arrange the time and location, the output value of crops will be very high."

Gu Feng nodded and said in a matter-of-fact tone, obviously very optimistic about space agriculture.
