"Lao Lin, you haven't reached this point because you don't know the difficulties in it. Brother, you don't understand my pain." Mabo finished speaking and raised his teacup, then glanced at Xu Ping An.
Xu Pingan directly raised his teacup to touch Mabo, and the two of them dried up in one go.
The elder brothers are rare to relax while talking and laughing. Here, they are completely relaxed. There is no need to take out the fake and serious set of outside, and relax without pressure.
After three days of fun together, the brothers separated and the branches returned to their respective companies.
Mars, the base of Tianqi Group.
After a year of rapid development last year, it is now completely different: mining bases, smelting bases, waste recycling system bases, and main control bases.
There is also an ecological circle base covering a large area. The rest area is completely established in the ecological circle. According to the plan, the construction of ten huge buildings has begun.
These buildings are equipped with elevators, and the entire exterior is wrapped with three layers of metal protective panels, which have strong protective power.
The room area is very small, the standard 15 square meters, each room can live one person, with bathroom and kitchen.
There are seventy rooms on the first floor, ten floors, and one building can accommodate seven hundred people.
Ten buildings are enough to accommodate 7,000 people.
Coupled with the 3,000 people in the original living area, it will not be long before the Mars base of Tianqi Group can easily accommodate 10,000 people.
On this day, the sky was still dark, the outside temperature was still more than 30 degrees below zero, and more than fifty vehicles drove out of the main base and set off in the distance.
In a short time, more than fifty cars drove out to the distance.
The directions of the two convoys were completely opposite, and they kept advancing without stopping at all. This phenomenon was immediately discovered by the outer space station.
Adjusting the observation lens and following the convoy all the time, the space stations of the United States and the Celestial World want to know what these two huge convoys are going to do.
The convoy was still driving at dawn, and did not stop to rest until 12 noon. After an hour and a half, the convoy continued to move forward.
Until six o'clock in the afternoon, the two convoys respectively stopped about 300 kilometers away from the main Mars base of Tianqi Group.
I consciously formed a circle next to a small hill, and calmed down. There was no movement, which made the heads of the two space stations confused.
Finally ordered helplessly, continue to observe, to see what the Tianqi Group is doing.
One night passed. At around 8 o'clock the next day, the astronauts got in and out of the car and started to get busy. The person in charge of the space station was immediately notified.
Observed for a full hour and a half.
"Report immediately, Tianqi Group's Mars base began to open up sub-bases and send all the pictures back to the headquarters" the person in charge ordered.
It is now certain that Tianqi Group is opening up a sub-base, and the astronauts have already controlled the excavation equipment and started work. Obviously, this is a step to establish a base.
The Tianqi Group's opening of a sub-base cannot be kept secret, and Xu Ping'an has no plan to conceal it. He can do whatever he wants, and he can think whatever he wants.
Just go on firmly according to the established plan, and don't care about other people's comments.
These two sub-bases, one is the livestock sub-base and the other is the plant sub-base.
After a year of experimentation last year, growing food has become a feasible project, but some soil needs to be transported from the earth.
The surface soil of Mars contains too much iron, and it must be integrated with the soil and plants. It only needs to be mixed together to plant the genetically modified plant ironwood.
On the earth, iron wood is distributed in Japan, North Korea, Gansu, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hebei and other places in mainland China.
It grows in areas between 1,000 meters and 2,800 meters above sea level, and generally grows in hillside forests. Currently, it has not been cultivated by artificial introduction.
The Tianqi Institute of Botany used Shaanxi ironwood for genetic modification. The original idea was to improve the drought tolerance of ironwood. Unexpectedly, after the seedlings went to space for genetic mutation cultivation.
It has the characteristics of absorbing metal elements, which is also a surprise.
After the results were reported, Chen Fansheng immediately arranged for transportation to Mars to continue the experiment. For four full years, the roots of the iron tree are now very absorbing the metal elements in the soil.
In half a year, the metal content in the soil will drop sharply. When that time comes, the ironwood can be cleaned up and other plants can be planted.
Livestock breeding has become feasible. Last year, many pigs, cattle and sheep gave birth to cubs on Mars, with a survival rate of 98%, which is fully equipped for large-scale expansion.
To gain a foothold on Mars, the food problem must be solved.
The main base is currently expanding the underground space. According to Xu Ping'an's request, it must store food for 500,000 people for a month.
This requires multiple huge cold storage warehouses. It is necessary for food warehouses to be established at the main base for safety.
Because of this grain storage plan, international meat prices on the earth have tripled, and international food prices have risen by 68%.
The plantation group developed rapidly last year, especially in Brazil, which developed rapidly. In order to obtain orders, they even forcibly moved people from many places to cities.
Setting aside places for planting or breeding is a cost for the economy.
According to Brazilian data, Brazil's grain and meat production will triple this year, and an agreement has been signed with Tianqi Group.
As long as the quality is okay and meets Tianqi Group's regulations, it will be directly acquired.
It's not just Brazil.
Australia, Canada, the United States, China, E country, various farms are expanding wildly, as long as you get the contract, the bank will give you a loan.
James, the president of Apocalypse Space Group, explained that once the Apocalypse Mars Hotel is completed, there will be a very large passenger flow at that time, and hundreds of thousands of people are expected to travel to Mars.
Therefore, Tianqi Group's Mars base must prepare food reserves for emergency needs.
You really can’t refute this excuse, because Tianqi Group’s official website has conducted a survey, and nearly tens of millions of people have left messages wanting to go to Mars on vacation.
After screening, there are as many as one million people who have the financial means to go to Mars on holiday.
With so many people, it is very scary to consume food, and it is reasonable to reserve in advance.
You know, James said that the Apocalypse Space Group will control the ticket from Earth to Mars to less than 100,000 Euros, and the specific will be announced one month before the start of operations.
This year, it is very critical for Tianqi Group. It is not an exaggeration to call it a reserve year.
According to the Mars plan, the number of newly dispatched people to Mars this year will be at most 2,000, and will not increase any more. They will reserve all kinds of materials wholeheartedly to prepare for the big development next year.
Outside, when the United States and China had not yet discussed a plan for the expansion of the Tianqi Group’s Mars base, a big news broke out on the European Union.
The EU spokesperson officially announced that the interplanetary spacecraft independently built by the EU has been completed, named Glory, and it is expected to set off from Earth to Mars in one month.
It was also announced that the European Union will build a second interstellar ship factory in Turin, Italy.
The big brothers of the two countries have now ignored the expansion of the Tianqi Group's Mars base.
because,
Mars competition, there will be a strong opponent.
With the economic strength and technological strength of the European Union, it is absolutely qualified to compete with the United States and the Chinese dynasty, and even overwhelm the two countries in many ways.
Xu Pingan also saw the news, smiled and didn't care. The internal analysis was good. Next year will be the year of the big explosion of global interstellar spacecraft.
Only the Apocalypse Group can deliver five interstellar spacecraft next year, plus those manufactured by various countries, the number of interstellar spacecraft will definitely reach more than 20.
Currently, the spacecraft that captures meteorites are not counted, but only the interstellar spacecraft with interstellar navigation energy.
Three ships of Tianqi Group,
Three celestial ships,
Two in Japan,
Two ships in the European Union.
A Russian ship,
British one,
An American ship,
There are already thirteen interstellar ships in the world.
This year, only the interstellar spacecraft used by the Apocalypse Group on Idrius Island can be completed, and next year will be different.
However, this data will have great changes next year.
According to the order order, five ships can be delivered next year. One ship needs to be delivered, one ship from Japan, and three ships from the United States.
It's just that the order of private transactions between the Celestial Kingdom and the United States has changed. Now it seems that the Americans are at a loss.
In the same year, they paid for more than a dozen space technologies. It is estimated that the Americans did not plan.
Xu Pingan has thought about this issue seriously, and the United States may have other plans that don't care about this.
Considering the three ships of next year, plus the two built locally, and the one currently in use, the United States has six interstellar ships in hand.
Starting once a month can completely form a cycle, and the speed of active construction will be faster than ever.
It doesn't matter, how many blacks there will be at that time, Mars belongs to me and no one can take it away. Xu Ping An has strong confidence in doing this.
Xu Pingan did not know that his calculations were wrong, especially for the United States.
The Americans only intend to use the interstellar spacecraft manufactured by Tianqi Group to travel to and from Mars, and the two built in China will not be completed next year.
Because the Americans built interstellar warships, not interstellar spaceships.
The interstellar battleship, which carries 300 air-to-air missiles, is equipped with ten laser weapon launchers.
There are one hundred short-distance large drones inside, each operated by one hundred people, two hundred spare drones, one is an interstellar team organization.
The food carried is enough to support the needs of fighting for six months.
The United States is confident to rely on five interstellar warships to rebuild American hegemony.
Both Xu Pingan and the United States are very clear that the two sides will definitely not be able to avoid a liquidation in the future, and they are confident of winning the final victory.
The specifics can only be verified by time.
