Wei Zhou.
Shen Zongzheng is reading a book called Mars rescue.
As a famous science fiction writer in Weizhou, Shen Zong was shortlisted for the best medium and long Science Fiction Award of the Xinghe award.
He thought he would win the prize.
As a result, I didn't expect to be robbed of the grand prize by a novel written by Qin Zhou.
tell the truth.
Shen Zong was unwilling.
Shen Zong believed that the other two finalists should also be very unwilling, so after the release of Mars rescue, he bought a book for the first time, and planned to have a good look at where he lost.
……
The novel fits the standard of medium length.
The story originated from a series of Mars landing missions called ares ares ares of Weizhou space agency.
The protagonist mark is one of the six pilots on the third landing mission.
On the sixth day of landing, they encountered a huge sandstorm. Mark was unfortunately hit by the antenna and separated from his teammates. He could not rescue his teammates by his best efforts. He took the only MESSENGER spacecraft to escape from the warehouse and return to space.
Everyone thought mark was dead.
Weizhou space agency received the news and held a press conference to announce the failure of Ares III mission and the sacrifice of astronaut mark.
This is the background of the novel.
……
After reading the background in front, Shen Zong slightly raised his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, the story background of Chu Kuang's book happened in Weizhou.
It seems that Chu Kuang's wave is really aimed at Weizhou readers.
But the background is not abrupt.
Because in the blue star, Weizhou's scientific and technological level is indeed very top, almost comparable to Zhongzhou.
When many blue star writers write books, they do not necessarily use their own continent as the story background for the development of the plot. After all, the characters of blue star are unified, and the readers of each continent do not have the problem of acceptance.
In addition.
Shen Zong did not find any loopholes in the description of aviation technology in the novel.
Chu Kuang's knowledge reserve in this regard is even a little surprised by Shen Zong, a Weizhou science fiction writer.
After all, I beat myself.
There are indeed two brushes.
However, this level alone is certainly not enough for Shen Zongxin to take orally.
Dip your finger in saliva and Shen Zong turns the page to continue reading.
In the book.
Of course, the protagonist mark won't die. He was inserted into his stomach by an antenna, and a hole in his spacesuit leaked.
"Hypoxia crisis?"
Shen Zong subconsciously thought so, but when he saw the following, his cheeks were hot.
He was beaten in the face.
Mark doesn't lack oxygen.
On the contrary, mark is afraid of high oxygen concentration.
Because one of the important functions of space suits is to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide produced by breathing.
It will first use a simple chemical device to absorb carbon dioxide. When the absorber is exhausted, it will adopt the bleeding mode, that is, automatically open the vent. Although this eliminates carbon dioxide, it also reduces the air pressure in the spacesuit. In order to maintain the air pressure, the spacesuit will automatically inflate the interior. When the limited nitrogen is drained, It will use pure oxygen for pressure supplement.
To know the blue star of human life, the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere is only 21%, and human beings can breathe comfortably.
High concentrations of oxygen can burn people's nervous system, lungs and eyes.
Of course Shen Zong understands such things.
It's just that Shen Zong obviously doesn't understand this function of the spacesuit.
Hard to return to the breath cabin not destroyed by the storm, mark finally took off his helmet and breathed the air.
An anthropologist and mechanical engineer's daily life on Mars begins here.
After checking all the equipment, mark calculated and concluded that:
The food he has left can last less than a year at most, and ground rescue will not reach Mars until four years at the fastest.
He has to solve the food problem!
Seeing Shen Zong smiling here, he had guessed what the protagonist was going to do.
Weizhou has a science fiction novel called the Mars base project.
In order to make food on Mars, the protagonist used his knowledge to describe the experiment of soilless cultivation of vegetable plants.
Chu Kuang's protagonist will certainly do the same!
Sure enough.
The next plot is as Shen Zong expected.
The protagonist thought of soilless cultivation to solve the food problem.
But the next moment, Shen Zong's smile disappeared.
He was beaten in the face by the idea of this book again!
Mark in the book quickly rejected the idea of soilless cultivation on the grounds that it needed a lot of nutrient solution.
The nutrient solution in the habitat is not enough.
This thing is a consumable and can't fundamentally solve the problem.
To solve the food problem on Mars, the correct solution is:
Grow potatoes!
Shen Zong's eyes widened!
Because not only was he beaten in the face by Chu, but even the food solution of the Mars base program was rejected by this book!
But Shen Zong had to admit:
Mark's idea is more feasible and the reason given is impeccable!
Without water, mark used his chemical knowledge to produce water.
Potatoes are ready-made and vacuum packed. This thing is a famous seed, and the output is not low.
faeces.
Urine.
The fertilizer excreted by Mark himself is the best "nutrient solution" for planting potatoes!
"Awesome!"
He was beaten twice in a row. Shen Zong's expression became serious. He was not angry, but praised Chu Kuang's rich knowledge!
Shen Zong was even more impressed by the following plot:
Mark's Mars survival, every operation is very reasonable and feasible!
The knowledge involved is so big that Shen Zong, a science fiction writer, feels ignorant!
But this process was also written by Chu Kuang.
For example, in the process of making water, mark ignored the imbalance of oxygen proportion caused by his breathing, resulting in an explosion in the experiment.
Another example is
After a long time, when the potatoes had a harvest, there was an accidental air pressure imbalance in the habitat, resulting in the death of all potato seedlings!
Mark had not enough conditions to grow potatoes at this time.
The food crisis reappeared.
What's going on now?
Shen Zong didn't realize that he had been completely attracted by the plot. He was eager to see how Mark continued his way of survival!
Continue the plot.
The twists and turns happened.
Bluestar space agency headquarters found out that mark was still alive.
meanwhile.
Mark is also trying to contact NASA.
He found the rover with communication function that Wei Zhou sent to Mars decades ago!
When the machine failed, he repaired it himself.
This process is not a pass, but a detailed description of Mark's specific operation.
For example, how mark uses solar energy and nuclear reaction technology to build his own travel tools and so on.
A series of operations!
What Shen Zong saw was amazing!
And the imagination of this book is more than that.
Mark didn't know that everything he had on Mars had been broadcast live all over the world. When he contacted the ground, he would also burst into foul language and open a yellow cavity, so that the whole terrestrial space agency was confused
Science fiction.
Dramatic elements.
Both are full!
Even the character of the protagonist mark is vividly portrayed on paper. Shen Zong, as a reader, really likes this hero who responds to all kinds of difficulties on Mars with an optimistic and positive attitude!
let alone.
There are also scenes that make people smile.
For example, mark found his teammate's music player. As a result, there were only songs of envy fish in his teammate's player.
So the songs that accompany mark through his loneliness are those that envy fish.
Shen Zong has also heard some of these songs. After all, Xianyu became famous in the world at the blue music fair, and many people found his works to enjoy.
As for the end of the story
This is what moved Shen Zong most.
Mark's teammates resolutely flew the spacecraft back to Mars after paying a certain price and maybe someone had to bear the risk of going to the military court!
They want to save mark!
The novel does not end in tragedy.
Mark successfully boarded his teammate's rescue ship after thousands of hardships.
And that's it.
Mark has lived alone on Mars for 549 sun days!
"Cow!"
This man's knowledge can be described as profound!
Shen Zong could not help but doubt that Chu Kuang would not have worked in the space agency?
Those professional Aerospace Machinery Materials in the book can't be found by online search alone!
However, surrounded by countless knowledge, this novel does not seem boring at all. The protagonist's use of knowledge is flexible enough to make people worship. All kinds of coquettish operations emerge one after another, and stubbornly live himself as the "king of Mars"!
People can't help feeling:
Learn mathematics and chemistry well and go all over the universe!
The whole process of the novel is wonderful!
It's cool!
Laugh!
And tears!
After reading the whole novel all morning, Shen Zong was shocked beyond measure!
Star River award.
Shen Zongshu is convinced!
————————PS: unexpectedly, there is another chapter. After all, it was said yesterday. However, the novel is too long. We can only briefly talk about it to let everyone understand what the book is about. If you are interested, you can see the film. The adaptation is not big, but the drama conflict has become bigger, so it looks very interesting.
