Gurbantunggut Desert.

This is the forbidden area of life.

Many years ago, academician Lu drew a circle here. Only a six lane road and two poplar trees planted in Yanbian were laid here. With the completion of an ostrich egg shaped closed biosphere, there was gradually a little human smoke here.

The pen in his hand stopped, Liang Youcheng in his overalls took a look at the air pressure indicator in the cabin on the platform next to him, and then closed his diary.

Four hundred days have passed since the biosphere was last shut down.

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

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

“…… The environment on Mars will be worse than here. Being in a state of low gravity for a long time will not only cause load on bones and organs, but also cause pressure on the heart. Now the former can be controlled by drugs, while the latter needs your own adjustment. When you are bored, try to write a diary, just write two sentences. "

In this way, it has been more than a year since now, and he feels that his diary is thick enough to produce a book. So that such a life is about to end, he even has a little reluctant.

"In other words, today is the day of biosphere opening."

With a long breath, he rose from the front of the console.

If he remembers correctly, he is the last one. When the planting colleagues harvest the last batch of potatoes and corn, they can pack their bags and stand at the gate of the airlock waiting for the outside people to open the door.

I don't know where I heard the news. Someone said from the day before yesterday that academician Lu would come today.

No astronaut is new to the general consultant and chief designer of the moon orbit construction committee.

After hearing this news, almost everyone is talking excitedly about whether this means that the time for them to fulfill their mission is coming soon

At the same time, outside the biosphere.

Accompanied by several army soldiers, the group walked on the cement road in the research base.

Looking around, looking at the neat cement houses on both sides of the road, Lu Zhou couldn't help but say nostalgically.

"Back here again."

Walking beside him, director Li felt the same in his heart at the moment. He said with emotion.

"Yes."

This time, he has come to the desert three times. Whether it's the location of the base or the recovery of the Blitzkrieg, he's with the land boat every time.

Not only that, but every time he comes here, he can see the obvious difference from this lonely castle standing in the desert.

This time, the changes he saw were even more obvious.

Even it can be said that it's like a change. Even if the changes he saw when he came here two times before add up, I'm afraid they can't match the shock of this time.

"I didn't expect that the change here was quite big."

Hearing this, Lu Zhou smiled.

"More than big? I can hardly recognize it. "

When the kindling plan was just approved, he remembered that it was still a desert. The main campers here were the nearby militia and the researchers from various research units.

At that time, the conditions were very difficult. They slept in the mobile room which was transformed from a container, ate dry food which was convenient for preservation, and drank the water delivered by the water truck from a hundred kilometers away.

Now, several years later, the fire plan has taken root in this desert. And this research base page has changed from a fire to a burning torch. It has become a lighthouse that can not be ignored in China's extraterrestrial colonization program and the international biosphere research program!

Walking beside Lu Zhou and director Li, Professor Hu Yang looks a lot more vicissitudes than before.

The dry sandstorm took away his youth from the young and middle-aged professor of Agricultural University and left chapped wrinkles on his face.

If you don't look at your ID card, no one can tell. He's only in his early forties.

"In recent two years, two more research institutions have been moved here, as well as members of the international cooperation organization. So many people are stationed here. Eating, drinking and Lhasa have boosted the local economy. Many local people who do business in the vicinity saw that the troops built water towers in the vicinity and simply built houses along the road. Now I'm worried about whether the relocation of so many people will damage the local fragile ecological environment. "

"After all, what attracts us to stay here is the life forbidden area in the middle of Gurbantunggut Desert. Following this trend, we are afraid that the local people will develop tourism here in the future, and we will have to move away sooner or later."

Director Li nodded thoughtfully and said seriously, "I will respond to the situation here with the organization and guide the non researchers who live nearby to the appropriate place as soon as possible."Professor Hu Yang sighed, "please."

While talking, a group of people finally reached the deepest point of the research base.

This is the core part of the whole fire plan, biosphere a.

From the last experiment to now, the biosphere has been running steadily for 400 days without input of external resources. Now that its milestones have been achieved, today is the time for the gate to open.

In the rest room outside the biosphere, the landers and others met the astronauts who were going to Mars.

"Hi, academician Lu!"

As soon as we met, a young astronaut in a casual suit came forward enthusiastically and grasped the hand of the boat.

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

"Hello Hello! It's hard for you to stay in the biosphere for a year! "

His face is full of pride and ruddy, said Dr. Liang Youcheng with a hearty smile.

"Not hard! The automation technology in biosphere is very mature, and our work is relatively easy! It only takes six hours to work every day. Apart from work, there is rest. There is broadband Internet access. That is to say, the two months when the psychological stress capacity test disconnected the Internet were a little difficult. The others were OK. "

The so-called psychological stress capacity test is to simulate the extreme situation and test the astronaut's psychological endurance.

For example, in the last simulation, the researchers assumed that the solar flare damaged the communication equipment outside the biosphere and cut off the contact between the inside and outside of the biosphere for up to two months.

During that time, I couldn't talk to my family on the phone or surf the Internet.

For a person who has lived in modern society for 20 or 30 years, it's really very painful.

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

"The situation on Mars will be worse than that on earth, and it is likely that this trip will last for two or three years. Maybe when you come back from your shift, your children have already attended junior high school Have you figured it out? "

Liang Youcheng straightened his back, raised his chin slightly, and replied in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"I've been thinking about it since the day I joined the space Corps. As for my son, he will be proud of his father's name! "

Looking at the unswerving expression on the astronaut's face in front of him, the ship gave him a look of approval and nodded slightly.

"It's my pleasure to work with you."

"In a word, academician Lu, I want to ask you something for my comrades in arms. I wonder if it is convenient?"

Lu Zhou: "what's the problem?"

"Are we It's about to leave? "

Looking at these astronauts, looking forward to the expression of eager face, the boat slightly stupefied, then smiled and nodded, seriously replied.

"That's right."

"The Mars manned landing program will be launched in one month!"

He cleared his throat and went on with a serious voice, looking at the people with happy faces.

"When I came to the northwest, one purpose was to check whether the design of the colonial module was up to standard, and the other was to review the warriors who were going to take us to space..."

"That's you!"

"Your performance is excellent, even beyond the expectation of our researchers! Obviously, you have passed all the tests and moved everyone including me with the perseverance and courage shown in the experiment. I hope you can keep in mind what you have learned in the experiment and spread all those beautiful and excellent qualities to the distant stars for our civilization. "

"Although we are not the first to set foot on Mars, I believe that we will do what they want to do but fail to do."

"In the near future, because of your bravery, our flag will float in the land of Mars forever."

"Turn that wasteland into a good field, and the desert into an oasis!"
