Blue Star Continents.

Countless cities.

There are so many book sales outlets surrounded by a large number of customers, especially at the door of the bookstore on Qinzhou's side, there is a long queue!

"I want The Martian!"

"The one where Chu Kuang won the Galaxy Award!"

"Me too!"

"I'll buy two!"

"I want to buy ten copies!"

"What are you buying so much for?"

"I'm a scalper, I think this wave can make money."

"Then you scalper is too poor. You only stock up on ten copies, which is not enough to fit between your teeth."

"Three new books "The Martian" by the old thief Chu Kuang, thank you!"

"Come to "The Martian" and help settle the bill!"

"Any more?"

"Wait a moment, the staff is loading the goods."

"hurry up!"

"We are all stocking up basket after basket. It's because everyone's purchases are so enthusiastic."

Yes.

All continents are very enthusiastic about buying, and Qin Zhou's buying enthusiasm is even more explosive. He wants to see what Chu Kuang wrote, so he won the Galaxy Award!

And this time.

Readers who have successfully purchased "The Martian" can't wait to start

The first thousand and 84 chapters learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you are not afraid to travel all over Mars

Wei Zhou.

Shen Zongzheng is holding a copy of "The Martian"

As a well-known sci-fi writer in Weizhou, Shen Zong was shortlisted for the best medium-length science fiction award of this year's Galaxy Awards.

He thought he would win.

In the end, he didn't expect to be robbed of the grand prize by a novel written by Qin Zhou.

to be frank.

Shen Zong was a little unwilling.

Shen Zong believed that the other two finalists should also be very unwilling, so after the release of "The Martian", he immediately bought a copy to take a good look at where he lost.

……

This novel meets the standard of medium and long novels.

The story originated from the series of Mars landing missions named Ares-God of War by Weizhou Space Administration.

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. Unfortunately, Mark was hit by the antenna and separated from his teammates. He tried his best to rescue his teammates and returned to the Messenger spacecraft in space with the only escape pod.

Everyone thought Mark was dead.

Weizhou Aerospace Administration received the news and held a press conference to announce the failure of the Ares-[-] mission and the sacrifice of astronaut Mark.

This is the background of the novel.

……

After reading the previous background explanation, Shen Zong raised his eyebrows slightly.

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 this background is not abrupt.

Because the level of science and technology in Bluestar Weizhou is indeed very high, almost comparable to that of Zhongzhou.

When writing books, many writers of Blue Star may not necessarily use their own continent as the background of the story for the development of the plot. After all, the scripts of each continent of Blue Star are unified, and there is no problem of acceptance by readers of this continent.

Also.

Regarding the description of aviation technology in the novel, Shen Zong did not find any loopholes.

Chu Kuang's knowledge base in this area surprised even Shen Zong, a Weizhou science fiction writer.

After all, he defeated himself.

There are indeed two brushes.

But only this level, of course, is not enough to convince Shen Zong.

With his finger dipped in some saliva, Shen Zong turned the page and continued

book.

Of course the main character Mark will not die, he is inserted into the abdomen by the antenna, and the space suit leaks a hole because of this.

"Hypoxic crisis?"

Shen Zong subconsciously thought so, but when he saw the following, his cheeks became hot.

He was beaten in the face.

Mark will not be starved of oxygen.

On the contrary, what Mark feared was that the oxygen concentration was too high.

Because one of the important functions of the space suit 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 mode of bloodletting, which is to automatically open the vent. Although this removes carbon dioxide, it also reduces the air pressure in the spacesuit. The barometric spacesuit automatically inflates the interior, and when the limited amount of nitrogen is emptied, it is repressurized with pure oxygen.

We must know that the oxygen concentration in the earth's atmosphere where we live is only 21%, and we can breathe comfortably.

Excessively high concentrations of oxygen can burn the nervous system, lungs and eyes.

Of course Shen Zong understood this kind of thing.

It's just that Shen Zong obviously doesn't understand the function of the spacesuit enough.

Difficult to return to the breath cabin that was not destroyed by the storm, Mark finally took off his helmet and took a big breath of air.

Thus begins the Martian daily life of a human botanist and mechanical engineer.

After checking all the equipment, Mark calculated and concluded:

The food he has left can only last for less than a year at most, and the ground rescue will not arrive on Mars until four years at the earliest.

He has to solve the food problem!

Seeing Shen Zong smiling here, he already guessed what the protagonist was going to do.

Wei Zhou has a science fiction novel called "Mars Base Project".

In order to make food on Mars, the protagonist in it used his own knowledge to describe the experimental description of soilless cultivation of vegetable plants.

Chu Kuang's protagonist will definitely do the same!

really.

What happened next was as Shen Zong expected.

The protagonist thought of the method of soilless cultivation to solve the food problem.

However, the next moment, Shen Zong's smile disappeared.

He was slapped 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 requires a lot of nutrient solution.

And the nutrient solution in the habitat cabin is not enough for Mark to toss.

This thing is a consumable and cannot 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 slapped in the face by Chu Kuang, but even the food solution of the "Mars Base Project" was rejected by this book!

However, Shen Zong had to admit:

Mark's idea is more feasible, and the reasons given are even more impeccable!

Without water, Mark used his chemical knowledge to produce water.

There are ready-made potatoes, vacuum-packed, this stuff is notoriously good, and the yield is not low.

stool.

urine.

The fertilizer excreted by Mark himself is the best "nutrient solution" for growing potatoes!

"Great!"

After being slapped in the face twice in a row, Shen Zong's expression turned serious. He was not angry, but just admired Chu Kuang's wealth of knowledge!

And the following plot made Shen Zong even more admirable:

Every operation of Mark’s Survival on Mars is extremely reasonable and feasible!

The knowledge involved in this is so big that Shen Zong, a science fiction writer, feels that he is ignorant!

However, this process is still ups and downs written by Chu Kuang.

For example, in the process of making water, Mark ignored the oxygen ratio imbalance caused by his own breathing, which caused the experiment to explode.

Another example……

After a long time, the potatoes were harvested, but the air pressure in the habitat warehouse unexpectedly became unbalanced, resulting in the death of all the potato seedlings!

At this time, Mark no longer had enough conditions to grow potatoes.

The food crisis reappeared.

What are you going to do now?

Shen Zong didn't realize that he was completely attracted by the plot, he was eager to see how Mark continued his way of survival!

in the continuation of the plot.

A twist happened.

The headquarters of the Blue Star Space Agency discovered that Mark was still alive.

at the same time.

Mark is also trying to find a way to contact the space agency.

He actually found the rover with communication function that Wei Zhou had sent to Mars decades ago!

The machine failed, and he fixed it himself.

This process is not a brief description, but a detailed description of Mark's specific operations.

For example, how Mark used solar energy and nuclear reaction technology to build his own travel tools and so on.

A series of coquettish operations!

What Shen Zong saw was astonishing!

And the book's imagination is more than that.

Mark didn't know that everything about him on Mars had been broadcast live around the world, and when he contacted the ground, he would swear and speak yellow accents, so that the entire ground and space agency was stunned...
