Since the construction work has been completed, Jiang Cheng is ready to scatter the astronauts back.
Of course, there are still a few astronauts who can't come back this time, because there is no manpower to come to the Mars base.
Now that the number of astronauts is insufficient, those who have returned may not be resting for long and will set foot on Mars again.
The remaining twenty astronauts Jiang Cheng in his hand have other purposes, so they cannot be transferred to Mars.
Jiang Cheng plans to divide the ten astronauts on Mars into two groups, and the five-person group will take turns to station on Mars.
During this period of time, these astronauts can only work hard. They have to travel back and forth between Mars and the earth, and they will not get a good rest at all.
In such a situation, the training of the first astronauts will be completed before someone can take over for them to perform missions on Mars.
But now those astronauts have just started training, and these ten astronauts are afraid it will take a long time.
But being able to stay on Mars for a long time is too late for those astronauts to be happy, and they won't feel how hard it is at all.
"I'm going to arrange the astronauts to return home, and the remaining astronauts' missions on Mars will also be carried out at the same time.
We are also ready to do a big fight on Mars, and then it is time to officially develop Mars.
After Xiao Peng heard Jiang Cheng's order, he responded and went to work soon.
He still has a lot of things to do, as he said they are about to do a big job.
Half of the astronauts on Mars will be ready to return soon. They will return to Earth after a four-month space journey on a rocket.
After they have rested on the earth, they will continue to set foot on the rocket to Mars to replace the companions who are still on Mars.
Of course, the astronauts staying on Mars are not just idle, they have a lot of work to do.
The next step is the official development of Mars. After such a long preparation, it is finally time to start.
The construction of the Mars base is for the purpose of developing Mars, otherwise Jiang Cheng has spent so much effort on Mars.
Jiang Cheng plans to develop Mars in three steps. The first step is to conduct preliminary mining operations on Mars, and then smelt the minerals and transport them back to Earth.
Of course, all that Jiang Cheng plans to mine are expensive precious metals, or else he won't even be able to earn the cost of transporting it back to the earth.
The second step is to expand the scale of the Mars base and increase the number of willful missions on Mars.
Slowly wait until the scale of the Mars base is large enough, it is the time for the last step of reality.
Finally, Jiang Cheng hopes to build a large human settlement on Mars, larger than a city-scale settlement, and arrange a lot of human work on it.
If this step can be achieved, then it can be said that humans have begun to migrate to Mars.
Jiang Cheng has great ambitions in his heart, and developing Mars alone cannot satisfy him.
He is planning to migrate to Mars on a large scale and build Mars into a second earth.
But now that these are still too far away, what Jiang Cheng has to do is to do the first step of the development work.
The development of this first step is related to the success or failure of the next steps.
Only if you successfully start mining on Mars and successfully reach the earth, can you start the next plan.
The subsequent large-scale expansion of the Mars base cannot be done with the current level of technology.
Use rockets to slowly transport people, equipment and materials, but I don’t know when it will be transported before a city can be built on Mars.
Therefore, if you want to develop Mars on a large scale, you need a brand-new transportation tool to replace the rocket as a transportation worker between the earth and Mars. When the rocket can no longer meet Jiang Cheng's transportation needs, it is time for the spacecraft to begin to debut. .
The capacity of spacecraft is much larger than that of rockets, and the speed is many times faster.
If you have a spacecraft, the transportation volume cannot limit Jiang Cheng.
But if Jiang Cheng wants to build a spaceship, a rare metal is indispensable.
Platinum is a necessary material for the construction of spacecraft, and it needs a lot of usage. At least the output on the earth cannot meet the requirements.
So Jiang Cheng paid attention to Mars, hoping to get enough platinum from Mars.
To know the platinum reserves on Mars, the shallow ore veins alone are hundreds of times that of the earth, far more abundant than the reserves on the earth.
Only those shallow veins that are easy to mine on Mars are enough for Jiang Cheng to use, not to mention the deep veins.
It can be said that the platinum mine on Mars is something that Jiang Cheng is sure to get, and it is also the reason why Jiang Cheng has been so vigorously developing Mars.
Then Jiang Cheng put the work of developing Mars mainly on mining platinum mines.
Although there are other precious minerals on Mars, platinum is what Jiang Cheng needs most now.
Soon the five astronauts who returned to Earth embarked on a journey home, and the remaining people started their own work.
Today is the time to officially mine the platinum mine, so the unknown astronaut got up very early.
The conditions in this Mars base are perfect, and there is even hot water supply in everyone's room.
After the astronauts finished washing in the room, they went to the base restaurant.
This Mars base covers a large area. In addition to the space occupied by the necessary equipment, it also has a sufficient living area.
The conditions of the living area are very good. Not only does each astronaut have a small kit, but also a special restaurant has been built.
The astronauts in the Mars base finished eating early in the dining room, and then began their day's work.
They don’t need to take care of them after washing. Naturally there will be cleaning robots to help them complete these trivial tasks.
First of all, they have to check the equipment in the base. This is beginning to affect their lives and safety, so they cannot be careless.
After checking all the equipment, they will also have to take a look inside the ecological planting area to see how the vegetables and grain grow in it.
The ecological planting area is a huge semicircular building with several special lighting equipment on the ceiling to imitate the sunlight necessary for plants.
The ground is neatly divided into many areas, and different crops are planted separately.
Some are staple foods like rice and wheat, and some are vegetables to provide astronauts with essential vitamins.
All the crops are growing vigorously under the simulating sunlight. It will not be long before it is time to harvest.
There is also a small farm on the edge of the ecological planting area, which raises some livestock.
