Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Gulbantungut Desert.

This is a restricted area of life.

Many years ago, Lu Academicians drew a circle here, and a six-lane highway and two long-edged Huyang trees were laid here. With the completion of a closed biosphere shaped like an ostrich egg, there was gradually a little human smoke here.

The pen in his hand stopped, and the beam in his work suit took a glance at the chamber air pressure indicator on the workbench next to him and closed the diary in his hand.

It's been 400 days since the biosphere was last closed.

Every day Liang has two things he must do, one is video with his wife and children, the other is to write a diary and record the little bits of life in the biosphere.

This is what the psychologist advised him when he was still in training.

“… Mars' environment can be worse than here, in a state of low gravity for longer periods of time, which can not only burden bones and organs, but also put a lot of stress on the mind. Now the former can be controlled by drugs, and the latter needs to be adjusted by yourselves. Try writing a diary when you're bored, just write two sentences. ”

As such, more than a year had passed by now, and he felt that his diary was thick enough to produce a book. To the point that such a life was almost over, he had a slight reticence.

“Today, by the way, is the day the biosphere opens. ”

He took a long breath and stood up from the console.

If he remembers correctly, he is the last shift. When the last batches of potatoes and corn are harvested by colleagues in the planting department, they can pack their bags and stand in front of the airlock and wait for the people outside to open the door.

I don't know where it came from, but people have been saying since the day before yesterday that the academicians are coming today.

No astronaut would be unfamiliar to the general consultant and chief designer of the Moon Orbit Construction Committee.

After hearing this news, almost everyone was excited to talk about whether this meant that the time was coming for them to fulfil their mission…

At the same time, outside the biosphere.

Accompanied by several troops, a pedestrian walked on the cement road inside the research base.

Looking around, looking at the tidy cement house on both sides of the road, the ark said with some nostalgia.

“Back here again. ”

Walking beside him, Director Li felt the same in his heart at this moment, saying with a rather emotional tone.

“Yeah.”

This time, he came to the desert three times in total, both for site selection and for the recycling of the lightning pod, each time with an ark.

Not only that, but every time he comes here, he sees a distinct difference from this desert fortress.

And this time, the changes he saw were even more pronounced.

It's almost like, even if the changes he saw when he came here the first two times, I'm afraid they're no better than the shock of this one.

“I didn't expect much change here. ”

When he heard that, the Ark laughed.

“More than big? I can hardly recognize it. ”

When the spark project was just under way, he remembered that it was still a desert and that the main militias stationed there were nearby, as well as researchers from various research units.

The conditions were very difficult and they slept in a converted living room in containers, ate easy to preserve dry food and drank water from 100 kilometres away from the water truck.

Now, a few years later, the Spark Project has taken root in the desert. And this research base page has been transformed from a spark into a burning torch, into a beacon that cannot be ignored in China's overseas colonization program, as well as the International Biosphere Research Program!

Walking next to Ark Boat and Director Li, Professor Hu Yang looked a lot worse than he did back then.

Dry wind sand took his youth from the farmer's middle-aged professor, while leaving a cracked crease on his face.

If you don't look at your ID card, nobody can see it. He's only in his early 40s.

“In the last two years, two more research institutes have been relocated and members of the International Cooperation Organization have been stationed here, eating and drinking Lhasala has moved the local economy, and many locals who do business in the vicinity have seen the troops build water towers in the vicinity and have simply built houses along the roads. I am now somewhat worried that the relocation of so many people will destroy the fragile local ecological environment. ”

“After all, what attracts us here is the no-life zone in the middle of the Gulbantungut Desert, which continues on this trend, only to fear that the locals will have to develop tourism here, and sooner or later we will have to move. ”

If Director Lee nodded thoughtfully, he said seriously: "I will react with the organization to bring non-researchers settled nearby to the right place as soon as possible. ”

Professor Hu Yang sighed: “Then please. ”

In the middle of the conversation, a group of people finally reached the deepest part of the research base.

Here lies the biosphere a, the most central component of the entire spark program.

Since the last experiment, the biosphere has been running steadily for 400 days without external resource input. Now its milestones have been met, and today is the time for that gate to open.

In the lounge outside the biosphere, the Ark and others met astronauts on their way to Far Mars.

“Hello, Master Lu! ”

As soon as he met, a young astronaut in civilian clothes approached him enthusiastically and grabbed the hand of the ark.

In response to the enthusiasm of the young astronaut, the ark shook back and shook his right hand with a good smile.

“Hello. Hello! I've been in the biosphere for a year, and it's been hard on you! ”

His face was brimming with proud redness, and Dr. Leung Yucheng smiled softly.

“Not hard! Automation technology in the biosphere is very mature and our job is still easy! It takes only six hours to work every day, outside of work is rest, and there is broadband to access the internet, which is that the two months when psychological stress capacity is detected to be off the internet are a bit difficult, the others are fine. ”

The so-called psychosuppressive capacity test is to test the mental capacity of astronauts in simulated extreme cases.

In the last simulation, for example, researchers assumed that solar flares damaged communication equipment outside the biosphere, and artificially disconnected the biosphere from the outside for up to two months.

You can't talk to your family on the phone or brush a voice on the internet during that time.

For a man who has lived in modern society for twenty or thirty years, this is indeed quite painful.

Looking at the young astronaut in front of him, the ark said in a serious tone.

“Things are going to be worse on Mars than on Earth, and most likely this is two or three years away, maybe when you get back from work, your kids are already in junior high... Do you have any idea? ”

Liang Zheng straightened his waistplate and raised his chin slightly, answering with a strong voice.

“I've been thinking about it since the day I joined the Space Brigade. As for my son, he would be proud of his father's name! ”

Watching the astronaut's steadfast expression in front of him, the Ark cast a praiseworthy look at him and nodded softly.

“It's an honor to work with you. ”

“Speaking of which, Master Lu, I'd like to ask you something for my comrades. Is it convenient? ”

Ark: “What's the problem? ”

“Are we... leaving soon? ”

Looking at the astronauts in front of them, their faces looked eagerly awaited, and the ark slightly stunned, smiling and answering seriously.

“Exactly. ”

“The Mars Manned Landing Program starts in a month! ”

Looking at the crowd with joy on his face, he cleared his voice and continued with a serious tone.

“I came to the Great Northwest this time to check whether the design of the colonial compartment meets the standards, and also to examine the warriors who are about to travel to space for us…”

“That's you! ”

“You did a great job and even exceeded our researchers' expectations! Obviously, you have passed all the tests and, with the perseverance and courage shown in the experiment, you have touched everyone, including me. I hope that you will remember what was learned in the experiment and that you will sow all the wonderful and excellent qualities for our civilization to the distant stars. ”

“Although we are not the first to put our footprints on Mars, I am confident that we will do what they want to do but cannot. ”

“In the near future, because of your courage, our flag will forever float on Mars' earth. ”

“Reclaim the wilderness and turn the desert into an oasis! ”
