Universe dominance

In the outer space of the earth, in the void not too far away from the city in the sky, a huge "Hercules" aerospace plane slowly opened its door. Its huge belly was filled with all kinds of things. All the materials brought up from the ground are used to build space farmland.

At this time, Gu Feng, the head of space agriculture of Fuyun Group, was wearing a thick space suit and watching the construction of space farmland inside the "Hercules" space plane.

Since the last time Li Fu inspected the Sky City, he knew that space agriculture has great potential. He is determined to let Chinese people eat the rice passed down by their ancestors on their dining tables again. He fully supports Gu Feng in developing space agriculture and appoints Gu Feng as the company's director of space agriculture. principal.

Gu Feng, who has always been very active in his work, was naturally not idle. He quickly found the company's space science team and designed a feasible space farm plan.

It is definitely not a simple matter to build a farmland in space. If it is just like the agricultural area in the Sky City, it is not difficult to build an experimental farmland. The key now is to Design and build a professional space farm.

Professional high-tech space farmland must first meet certain conditions. The first is that planting, cultivation, and harvesting must be simple and fully mechanized operations must be possible to save manpower as much as possible. Secondly, safety must be fully considered. The scale of space farmland is definitely not small, and it is easily affected by the impact of space debris; in addition, it must facilitate the transportation of materials. The development of agriculture must be inseparable from water, and the harvested crops also need to be transported back to the earth.

There are many factors that need to be considered, but this is not a problem for Fuyun Group’s team of scientists. After all, they already have experience in building a city in the sky. In addition, with the "Hercules" aerospace plane to transport supplies, many things can actually be built on the ground. After being designed and assembled, it can be transported directly to space using the "Hercules" aerospace aircraft. The operation is relatively simple.

At this time, the hatch of the "Hercules" aerospace plane has been opened, and the mechanical arm slowly stretches out to slowly carry out the contents of the stomach. Space is only affected by microgravity, so even if it has a very high mass Large objects actually do not require much force to move.

The "Hercules" aerospace plane is more than 50 meters long, more than 30 meters wide, and dozens of meters high. Its belly is very huge and it can carry a lot of materials.

I saw a mechanical arm slowly carrying out a huge space capsule-like thing. This huge space capsule-like thing was 10 meters long and 5 meters in diameter.

Similar space capsules were carried out one after another, and two or two space capsules were combined together exactly as they should. Soon, a long stick appeared in the field of vision in space.

Then soon, several more space shuttles slowly approached, the hatches were opened wide, and the robotic arms carried out the same space capsules and continued to assemble them. Slowly, a huge Tian character appeared in the space.

This word "田" is composed of four small characters "口". Each "口" character is a very standard 100 meters and consists of 10 huge space capsules. One "口" character means 40 space capsules. The word "Tian" is composed of 60 space capsules, forming a huge frame.

Each space capsule is designed and assembled on the ground. The space capsules are strictly designed. There is an engine in the middle of each space capsule. Of course, it is definitely not a plasma engine, but an ordinary jet engine. It is used to push the space farmland to move and change its orbit. It can also be used to rotate the space farmland, adjust the lighting angle, etc.

At the same time, each of these huge space cities is hollow inside. There are various instruments, equipment, hatches, robotic arms, etc. inside, and there are also aisles that can be walked together. The staff of the space farm can directly pass through these Aisles block any place to cultivate, fertilize, harvest, etc. space crops.

In space, after completing the combination of the word "tian", the aerospace plane did not take any time off. From the ground, the aerospace plane was still transporting space capsules one after another, and slowly connected with the word "tian". , and continue to expand the space farmland.

At the same time, in the area where the frame construction has been completed, an astronaut started to control the robotic arm to carry out the next step of work. I saw these astronauts controlling the robotic arm to assemble long things similar to cultivation tanks into the "mouth" Here, there are such long cultivation troughs every 1 meter.

All the cultivation tanks have been strictly designed, and they will be exactly the same after being assembled on the space capsule. There are already interfaces on the space capsule.

Slowly, the cultivation tanks divided this huge "kou" character into squares with a side length of 1 meter. A "kou" character is exactly 100 meters in side length and covers an area of ​​10,000 square meters. Now it is divided into 10,000 small squares with side length 1 meter.

After installing the cultivation tank, the astronauts began to prepare to build the cover. The same principle was used. They first built a curved skeleton, and then assembled pieces of slightly curved tempered glass one after another, slowly forming a hemisphere-like structure. The glass cover is assembled. After the tempered glass covers on both sides are assembled, an enclosed space is completed.

Gu Feng wore a spacesuit and came to a farmland that had been assembled. He walked through the space capsule and opened a hatch at the location of the space capsule. He slowly floated in, as if he was in a round sky. Generally speaking, in the world, whether it is the top of the head or the soles of the feet, it is a huge bowl that is turned upside down, but one side is transparent and the other side is dark, forming a closed world.

"Well, the design of the two sides also takes into account that plants cannot carry out photosynthesis 24 hours a day, and they also need to rest like animals. When the time comes, the direction of these cultivation tanks can be rotated, so that one side is resting and the other is working. Photosynthetic growth.”

Gu Feng looked at the completed area and nodded with satisfaction. The light in space is very sufficient. As long as it is needed, there is no problem with 24-hour light. However, plants combine light and dark reactions. The light reaction is the synthesis of carbon dioxide and water into starch through light energy synthesis, which can only be carried out under light conditions. The dark reaction is respiration, which decomposes starch to obtain energy for the growth and development of plants, and is carried out 24 hours a day.

In layman's terms, plants, like animals, cannot perform photosynthesis 24 hours a day, and they also need to rest. Therefore, although there is sufficient light in space, plants must be allowed to rest.

Gu Feng returned to the space capsule. Each space capsule is equipped with a control room, which can control the entire farmland through a computer. It has just been assembled and naturally needs to be inspected and tested.

"start testing!"

The staff around him controlled the computer to start automatic detection and testing. Gu Feng looked at the farmland through the window of the space capsule, feeling slightly uneasy. Whether this design can be put into use will affect his next step. plan.

"Turn over the breeding tank!"

Accompanied by the sound of machinery, the cultivation troughs slowly turned over without any problems. The cultivation troughs have two sides, and crops can be grown on both sides. One side receives light and the other side rests.

"Test the seal and start releasing the compressed air."

The next step is to test the sealing of the farmland. Plants cannot survive without air, so farmland must be sealed, and the air inside must not leak at all.

"No air leaks were found and the test was perfect."

At this time, the farmland is already filled with air, and the standards are naturally based on those on the earth. In other words, people can actually breathe freely in this farmland now. Normally, staff can freely enter and exit it without wearing spacesuits. .

"Testing the Nutrient Solution Delivery Equipment for the Breeding Tank."

The sound of machinery sounded again, and water began to flow in the cultivation tank in the farmland. This water was transported through the space capsule under pressure. Water is the basis for plant growth, and various plants can also be added to the water. of nutrients.

Tests are being carried out one after another, and everything is perfect. Fuyun Group's technological level is getting stronger and stronger, and it has experience in building a city in the sky. It is naturally easy to build a space farm.

"Gu Gu, all the tests are perfect and can be accepted."

"Well, let's start the planting experiment."

Gu Feng nodded with satisfaction. The design of space farmland is based on the same principles as other space construction designs in space. All units are designed and operated independently. Each piece of space farmland has its own independent system, life support system, Control systems, energy systems, etc.

Therefore, although space farmland is still under continuous construction and expansion at this time, it has no impact on this completed space farmland and can be put into production immediately.

"yes."

The staff next to them got the order and started to control the computer. Everything in the space farm was automated and mechanized, and they only needed to control the calculation.

I saw robotic arms stretching out from the space capsule. These robotic arms began to sow seeds in these cultivation tanks. The calculation was very precise. The seeds were sown one by one, and the intervals between them were also In this way, there are almost no mistakes.

The efficiency of the machinery is very fast, and the seeds are sown very evenly in a short time. This time, because it is an experiment, the vegetables planted with a very short growth cycle-baby cabbage.
