Survival on Mars Live

Chapter 55 Planning

Chen Mulin showed the renderings, and then said: "Brothers, these are the two renderings of the livestock farm I made. Which one do you think is better?"

Same as before, in fact, Chen Mulin already had the answer in his heart, for the effect.

As the saying goes, you can choose as long as you choose, and I will lose if I listen to you.

Of course, if you choose the one in your mind, it will only be really delicious.

The two renderings are two directions of discovery, one of which is towards automation, while the other is towards naturalization.

The so-called automation refers to mechanization and intelligent breeding.

It can be seen from the renderings that the automated livestock farm is a multi-storey building with a small footprint and mainly composed of duplex structures. Each floor can raise one or two types of livestock. In addition, there is also a pool for aquaculture, which is fully automated. manage.

As for naturalization, this is what Chen Mulin wants to create, and his original intention is to develop into a small ecological circle.

The effect picture is similar to the existing farm. It is divided into three floors. Each floor has a climate and breeds species in different climates.

There is also an artificial river, which completely imitates the wild environment.

These two solutions have their own advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, the first solution is the best, fully automated farming, which is also the current popular farming model.

The only disadvantage of the first plan is that for those who pursue the taste of the ingredients, it is simply unpalatable, and it belongs to low-quality meat.

The second solution is different, simulating the ecological environment to let it grow naturally, just like free-range chickens, it is free-range, so the meat taste will be very good.

So, here comes the important point, this is not the earth, and you can't just enclose a place and stock it.

Although 3D printers are very efficient, they also take time, and transporting materials also takes time.

According to Chen Mulin's plan, he first built a small livestock farm, raised it himself for a period of time, and gradually expanded it. After the expansion area reached a certain level, he began to build a small ecological circle.

Undoubtedly, this is very time-consuming.

But after the two develop, they are not at the same level at all. The former tends to be stable, while the latter has great development potential.

"Brothers, tell me, which plan to choose?"

After saying what he was thinking, Chen Mulin drank his saliva and waited for the barrage.

Maybe my own idea is good, but after all, what a person can think of is limited, so it is good to read what others say.

[Danmaku: The first solution, automated management can save a lot of work, and the key growth rate is also fast, so it doesn't take too long to be slaughtered and eaten. 】

[Barrage: To be honest, as a countryman, although I support automated farming, I prefer stocking. 】

[Barrage: Automate it! 】

【Barrage: Automation*1】

……

Seeing that it was about time to reveal the answer, Chen Mulin said: "Thank you for your suggestions, but I already have a choice, I personally prefer ecological circle breeding, after all, there is only one anchor now, and automated mass production is not of much benefit to me. "

“The only problem now is how to survive the blank period before the ecosystem is formed.”

[Bullet screen: What's so tangled about this, there are trade-offs, just one word "do". 】

[Barrage: Why choose? 】

[Barrage: That is, children only make choices, but as an adult, I want them all! 】

[Barrage: Automatic transition in the early stage, playing games is so simple! 】

Chen Mulin slapped his thigh and said happily: "Yes, why didn't I find it?"

It's hard to use your brain. It seems that you have used your brain too much these days, and you have ignored such a simple problem.

It seems that people just don't want to concentrate too much, concentrate on thinking about some major issues, and it is too easy to ignore some simple issues.

Chen Mulin made a decision immediately, just do it!

Build an automated livestock farm first, raise it first, and after the ecological livestock farm is formed, you can also convert the automatic livestock farm into other buildings, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

In the following time, Chen Mulin discussed the remaining buildings with the water friends.

Now the authority has been upgraded to level three, and five buildings can be built in addition to the base.

In other words, apart from one farm, there are two livestock farms, and two buildings can be built.

Now is the development period of the base, so these two buildings must be functional.

Now that we have a 3D printer, we don’t need to build a factory, but it saves a lot of trouble.

After some discussion, Chen Mulin finally decided to build a large power plant and a water resource factory.

Undoubtedly, if you want to develop in a better direction, these two are essential.

Why build a power plant, or this accident sounded the alarm for him.

On Mars, the energy reserve is equivalent to the life reserve. Everything is inseparable from electricity. Heating needs electricity, oxygen supply also needs electricity, and all equipment needs electricity.

The Mars base is a bare base. In the beginning, electricity was used to maintain balance. Now that there are more buildings and equipment, the electricity is obviously not enough to support such a huge consumption.

Although each building can be supplied individually, this is obviously not efficient. A pile of photovoltaic panels still takes up space and is very inconvenient to manage. When there are more buildings, the shadow of the building will affect the sunshine duration of the panels, and the power generation efficiency will plummet. drop.

This is when it becomes necessary to have a power plant.

The power plant can be located in a place with relatively high terrain. The concentration of photovoltaic panels can improve the efficiency of power generation, and it is also convenient for maintenance and inspection.

As for water, it is the source of life.

We need to drink water on weekdays, and we need water for cooking after harvesting rice, and we need water in many places of life. Of course, these consumptions are not big.

The focus is on development. Water is needed in many places, such as crop irrigation, animal husbandry, and fish farming.

Although the base's water resource recycling system is advanced, it can not only recycle the existing water resources, but also collect the thin water vapor from the Martian atmosphere.

Before that, the water was enough for a group of people. After Chen Mulin finished watering the rice fields, the water obviously bottomed out, and it couldn't circulate at all, let alone plant a large number of plants, and maybe even trees in the future.

With this level of consumption, the small water circulation system is simply not enough.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a large-scale water recycling plant in order to meet the large water demand.

In addition, Chen Mulin also plans to build a long-distance water tank transport vehicle to transport water to the poles of Mars.

According to the analysis of photos taken by satellites, the poles of Mars are covered with ice, which can be fully utilized.

The reason why Chen Mulin made such a decision was all because of a design drawing.

Before that, when he first got an entry-level printer, Chen Mulin discovered that there was a very high-end device among the printing options of the mainframe.

Unfortunately, printing that device requires very high permissions.

Doing this now is entirely for the purpose of having that device in the future.
