Interstellar Industrial Age

After inspecting the ecological construction of Mars, Qin Yi also has a bottom line in his heart. It is much better than he imagined. Basically, the oceans of Mars have already formed a complete ecological chain, and the rest is just to continue. Add more creatures that can adapt to Martian fresh water.

The land of Mars is fully covered by vegetation. The next step is to slowly put more animals on Mars. At the same time, according to the latitude, longitude, humidity, etc. on the middle-earth continent of Mars, tropical rain forests and temperate broad-leaved forests are slowly created. , the cradle of life such as the boreal coniferous forest.

This process may take a long time, especially for animals from Earth. After being introduced to Mars, it needs an adaptation process.

The first is that herbivores must adapt to the environment of Mars, and be able to slowly reproduce on Mars by themselves. For this process alone, Qin Yi estimates that it will take at least a few years.

If the number of races is to expand to a certain base, it will take longer, especially for advanced animals, which reproduce very slowly. Animals such as cattle, sheep and horses can only reproduce one child per year. Generally, there is only one fetus. Dogs and pigs reproduce faster, but they can have almost one fetus a year, and the number is relatively large. As for elephants, giraffes, etc., its reproduction cycle is even more After a long time, it will take many years to mature, and only one child can be born in a few years.

Advanced animals have a long reproduction cycle and a small number of offspring. If the population wants to expand to a certain size, it needs to cause a larger number from the earth, but more importantly, it takes time.

When herbivores have almost reproduced to a certain extent, carnivores will follow, and the reproduction of carnivores will be even slower. Even the fastest wolf, hyena, African wild dog, etc., its reproduction speed will not be too fast. , As for tigers and lions, it is even slower.

The entire ecology needs to be constructed, and Qin Yi estimates that it will take at least several decades. As for the formation of a stable ecological chain on Mars, it may take hundreds of years for this process to be hard to say.

Animals are no better than plants. Although animals are more advanced than plants, their ability to adapt is weaker and their reproduction speed is slower. It takes a long process to multiply and grow slowly.

Back to the Han Wu Dadi spacecraft in the space of Mars is full, and now this huge spacecraft has become the super base of Galaxy Technology Group stationed on Mars.

On Mars, there are more than 200,000 scientists, engineers, astronauts, ordinary employees, etc. of Galaxy Technology Group. All of them live and stay on this huge spacecraft, and work on Mars, or It's the outer space of Mars.

A huge space farm has been built in the outer space of Mars, and the output of vegetables, fruits and food is enough to meet the needs of millions of people; there are also space smelting factories,

Asteroids mined from the asteroid belt are constantly being smelted and used to build space factories.

Even Qin Yi asked Yang Hongyan to start building a new spaceship factory on Mars, preparing for a full transfer to Mars in the future.

The 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft has many layers, and each layer has different functions. Some are research centers for various disciplines, some are living and entertainment areas, and some can be used for agricultural planting. Just the 'Hanwu Emperor' The agricultural area above the spacecraft can produce a large amount of food, fruits, vegetables and so on.

This is a spaceship that can be used for interstellar colonization, all fully equipped.

On one of the floors, Liu Peiqiang, Lu Qingwei, Wang Songling, Liu Daoming, Li Jingxuan and other senior officials of Galaxy Technology Group and scientists from the Academy of Sciences gathered together, and seemed to be discussing something with each other facing the Martian Middle-earth continent.

I think this first city should be located at the outlet of the Little Yangtze River. This location is located in the temperate zone of Mars, with a pleasant climate and a very open terrain. It is also close to the sea and river, and the water resources are very rich, which is very suitable for construction. It's a huge city, I even thought about the name, do you want to listen to it?

Lu Qingwei pointed to the mouth of a river on the map of the Middle-earth continent of Mars.

No, no, you don't say we all know what name you got.

When the others heard it, they shook their heads one by one. Everyone knew the level of Lu Qingwei's name selection. One thousand articles, no matter what they were, were all called Qingwei.

This location is quite good, but in the future we don't need to consider the issue of Mars transportation. Now the earth's private anti-gravity vehicles have been popularized, so this transportation does not need to be considered.

What we need to consider is the environment, climate, water use and topography. This equatorial area is too hot, and in the future, it will be built into a huge virgin tropical rainforest, so we can exclude these areas.

As for the cold zone, it's too cold, and it's not good. It will cause a lot of inconvenience to our lives, so it's better to choose to build in the temperate zone.

The terrain of this Middle-earth continent is actually relatively simple. The middle is high, the four sides are low, and the plains are vast. What needs to be considered is the issue of water use. A huge city consumes a lot of water, so choose an area with water.

Liu Peiqiang looked at the map of Middle-earth, and pointed to the areas above to eliminate them one by one, and slowly locked the areas within a few ranges.

I think this first city was built in the middle reaches of the Xiaojiang River. It is close to the river, with abundant water resources and open terrain. More importantly, according to our early geological exploration, this area is very stable.

In the southern area, there is also a relatively tall mountain range that can block the cold current from the Antarctic region, which is very suitable for building a city.

No, no, I still think it's better to go out to the sea from the small Yangtze River. You think, many big cities on the earth now rely on the sea. There are many advantages to relying on the sea.

When Lu Qingwei heard this, he shook his head again and again, expressing his objection.

How was your discussion?

At this time, Qin Yi walked in and saw the crowd gathered together and the argument was more intense, so he quickly looked over.

We are discussing that it would be better to build the first Martian city in the place on Mars. Qingwei said that it will be built at the estuary of the Little Yangtze River. I think it will be built in the middle reaches of the Little Yangtze River. Wang Songling also thinks it will be built in the Handong Plain. Better, Liu Daoming and the others think Hanxi Plain is also good.

I see, it's better for you to decide to leave as well, boss.

Liu Peiqiang smiled and pointed to the places above Middle-earth.

You can build it anywhere. Anyway, our population will increase in the future, and more and more cities will be built. I think what we should all discuss is how to plan this city.

Qin Yi looked at the map of Middle-earth, and then looked at the dots marked on it, and said after a while.

To be honest, for Qin Yi, it is the same wherever it is built, and now it is just a happy worry. It is like having money, thinking about whether to buy a house or a car first. No matter what you buy, it must be happy.

The question that really makes Qin Yi think is how to plan the city on Mars, which is really worth thinking about.

The Martian Middle-earth continent has nearly 80 million square kilometers and belongs to the Galaxy Technology Group. It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, the population of Mars will be very sparse. This is truly a sparsely populated area.

The land is vast and the people are sparse, and this Mars is now like a blank sheet of paper. If you want to draw a beautiful picture, you must plan well from the beginning, and you can't start randomly.

As for urban planning, our opinions are relatively unified.

Liu Peiqiang and the people around looked at each other and said with a smile.

Oh?

Qin Yi was slightly surprised. There was a lot of competition for where to build the first city. Unexpectedly, an agreement has been reached on the planning of this city. This made Qin Yi very curious and said, Hurry up and listen.

In terms of urban planning and construction of our Mars in the future, we are going to refer to the urban planning of European and American countries.

Liu Peiqiang nodded, and then with a thought, the virtual watch was connected to the computer control system in this hall, the projector was automatically turned on, and a city design drawing began to play out.

In the future, for our city on Mars, we plan to keep only the functions of life, entertainment, and office. As for industrial production, all of them will be migrated out of the urban area. Either a dedicated industrial city will be built, or it will be set up in space.

In terms of urban planning, in the middle area of ​​the city, we plan to set up government office areas, banks, company office areas, etc. This area is mainly dominated by high-rise buildings.

There are huge residential areas around the city. We refer to the way of North American countries. All residential areas are unified to build villas. The back is the garden and the front is the lawn. The area is controlled at 1,000 square meters.

In the residential area, for every certain number of residential areas, we will build a primary school, a certain number of primary schools will build a middle school, and a city will build a university.

And the scale of the entire city is controlled within the range of one million people. Once the population exceeds one million, we will build new cities and move the excess population into new cities.

With Liu Peiqiang's explanation, the planning map of a city is slowly broadcasted, and the areas are continuously divided into residential areas, living areas, entertainment areas, education, medical care, offices, etc. The planning is very detailed, one can accommodate hundreds of A city with a population of 10,000 emerges before everyone's eyes.
