That green place!
Bai Ge and Wang Qingsong naturally knew about the photo that went viral on the Internet some time ago, and they both knew it was true.
Regarding this matter, everyone within China Aerospace Administration also knew about it and had asked Wang Leshan. Wang Leshan did not say much other than admitting the matter and remained mysterious.
Growing plants in the primitive environment of the moon is something no one can imagine.
The original environment of the moon has no water, no air, no soil suitable for planting, no atmospheric pressure, no magnetic field, and there is radiation, high-intensity radiation!
Planting plants in such an environment is just a dream.
The last time there was a rumor about plants on the moon, it was probably the legendary laurel tree outside the Guanghan Palace on the moon that Wu Gang kept cutting down.
Within a few minutes, Wang Leshan, Bai Ge, and Wang Qingsong arrived at the place where the sun grass was planted. They saw a vast expanse of green from a distance. This was undoubtedly a surprise to the three people who were used to seeing the wild wilderness on the moon in the previous few hours. Kindness is pleasing to the eye, and the closer they get, the more wonderful the expressions on the faces of the three people, including Wang Leshan, become.
Wang Leshan had only seen these sungrass remotely before, but now that he was right in front of him, he was still a little shocked, a shock of visual impact, but also a shock to the soul.
After this period of growth, the sun grass has spread to an area of ten hectares, faster than Wang Leshan imagined. Sungrass is not very tall, with an average height of about thirty centimeters. It has no flowers or fruits. It will divide directly after it grows to a certain extent. The time from one branch to the next is not long, almost ten days, and reproduction in this way will obviously spread faster towards the end.
Sungrass can carry out photosynthesis and only needs sunlight to release air, which is tailor-made for the transformation of the lunar surface atmosphere.
When approaching the Sun Grass, Wang Leshan and others could see through the speeding car that there was a layer of light gas surrounding the Sun Grass, and there was also a layer of gas above the Sun Grass!
"Leshan, what's going on?"
Bai Ge and Wang Qingsong were both a little confused, and then asked Wang Leshan in shock.
Wang Leshan smiled, but this time he didn’t make any excuses anymore, and said: "This plant is called sun grass. It can be grown as long as there is sunlight. This is a plant recently developed by the research laboratory based on some materials and information from underground people. Moreover, this kind of plant can be grown as long as there is sunlight." Plants only need sunlight to perform photosynthesis and then release air. I want to use this plant to change the environment on the moon so that the moon has air. For now, this experiment is very successful. In the near future, the moon It will become a planet inhabited by living things, including humans!”
"Damn it, this is too awesome!"
Bai Ge and Wang Qingsong cursed almost at the same time, looking at Wang Leshan in disbelief and at the sun grass in disbelief.
"So, the plan you mentioned before about the transformation of the lunar environment does not mean to build a closed base module, but to truly change the original environment of the moon?"
"Isn't this plan too ambitious?"
"If this plan is successful, then if we can land on Mars, can Mars also be transformed into an environment suitable for human habitation?"
"A cross-planetary race! It turns out that the cross-planetary race you are talking about is not as simple as crossing the earth and the moon!"
"The outside world's interpretation of your plans has reached the point of flattery. Now that I think about it, their understanding is still a bit low!"
“…”
Wang Leshan drove the speed car to the central area of the Sun Grass, and then put the speed car away again, leaving only a radiation-proof instrument, which fell into the Sun Grass. The imbalance of air pressure still exists, but it is much less severe than before. The reason is very simple. A lot of gas released by sun grass has accumulated here, forming a certain air pressure. Moreover, it can provide breathing space.
It took Wang Leshan seven or eight minutes before he returned to the flying car. Then he put on a simple spacesuit, bent down and dug up a piece of soil, rubbed it in his hands, and looked at it with instruments. There are already certain water molecules in the soil, which is naturally related to the gas formed.
At the same time, Wang Leshan also discovered that there were many earthworms among the sun grass, and there were quite a few of them. Dadizi's ability to survive is much stronger than that of humans, but now there is air and moisture in the sun grass. Although it is not much, it is enough for Dadizi.
Wang Leshan activated Dadizi's driving technique and found that the number of Dadizi nearby had reached nearly one hundred thousand.
Sungrass has the ability to strengthen the soil, and with the addition of earth seeds, the effect will be better and the speed will be faster.
Moreover, Wang Leshan discovered one thing, that is, the radiation nearby is not that strong. After contacting Robot No. 2 for inquiries, I found out that Sungrass and Dadizi also purified the radiation in the process of strengthening the soil. And this undoubtedly has a way to solve the problem of cosmic radiation on the moon, which is a great thing.
In addition, Wang Leshan also saw the existence of spiritual rice among the sun grass. There were not many, just a few plants, and they were irrigated by spiritual water. Relatively speaking, the survivability of spiritual rice is pretty good, but even with all kinds of help, its growth is still very poor. But it’s very bad, but at least the planting was successful, which is a big improvement.
As the sun grass grows more and more, as the atmospheric environment gets better and better, and as the soil gets better and better, there is no doubt that the normal growth of spiritual rice on the moon is not a dream, but a near future.
Next, Wang Leshan has decided to let the robots plant enlightenment bamboo. First, the survivability of enlightenment bamboo is also very strong. Second, because enlightenment bamboo also has the ability to purify the air, which can improve the quality of the air and allow the sun grass to release Air is more suitable for humans and other living things.
After staying in the Sun Grass for a while, Wang Leshan and the others headed to the back of the moon.
Because the moon orbits the earth obliquely, one side will never face the moon. There have been many legends about the back of the moon. It is even said that after the United States landed on the moon in the 1970s, The moon landing was stopped because a base of alien technological civilization was discovered on the far side of the moon. But now it seems that it is completely nonsense. First, the United States has always had moon landing activities, but they are no longer public. The second is the situation on the back of the moon. Robots have already checked it out and found out that there is no alien civilization technology at all, not even a temporary base in the United States.
By the way, for now, the United States has built three bases on the moon, and these bases are all very small in scale. To Wang Leshan and others, they are no different from temporary strongholds. As for the research and direction of the United States on the moon over the years, Wang Leshan did not know, but he could guess that the research was not going well.
