In front of Chen Mo was an instrument the size of a washbasin.
The instrument has a strange shape. The middle ring is hollow and filled with a red transparent liquid. It is surrounded by thumb-sized tubes. In the center of the instrument is a fan. Below the fan is a large tube. The inside of the tube leads to the inside of the ring tube.
This instrument is an oxygen generator.
Chen Mo's machine is used to accelerate the conversion of Martian carbon dioxide into oxygen and accelerate the transformation of the Martian atmosphere.
The liquid in the tube is a catalyst. The catalyst can capture carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the air, making the molecular structure more active, and then electrolytically decomposes the carbon dioxide into elemental carbon and oxygen.
"Try running it."
"good."
Mo Nu pressed the remote control and saw the fan in the center of the oxygen generator starting to rotate.
Chen Mo deliberately placed dry ice near the fan. He could clearly see that the adsorption force of the fan was absorbing the surrounding air into the annular tube, and the liquid catalyst inside was also bubbling crazily.
If you look carefully, you can see that the bubbles gradually become smaller as they rise, and inside the liquid catalyst, you can also see little bubbles, like the small bubbles in Coke, attached to the inner wall of the tube.
Those small bubbles are the decomposed oxygen.
After a long time, Chen Mo could already see little black solids precipitating in the liquid, which were the diluted toner particles.
"This small oxygen generator works continuously. It can produce one kilogram of oxygen per hour. At the same time, it only needs to separate the solids inside, and the catalyst can be reused. The solids are mainly carbon and sulfur. After separation, cleaning and processing, the carbon Elemental substances can be used as materials for making diamonds, graphene and carbon nanotubes," said Mo Nu.
"Start manufacturing large oxygen generators and some mobile oxygen generators on Mars," Chen Mo said.
"How many units are needed?" Mo Nu asked.
"The sooner the oxygen on Mars reaches the standard for biological survival, the better. There is no specific number." Chen Mo said.
The transformation of the Martian atmosphere is now a problem he faces.
It would take a long time for the atmosphere of Mars to reach the standard for human habitation and to be close to the plants on Mars, so Chen Mo had to use technological means to directly transform the atmosphere.
The most important thing in making an oxygen generator is the catalyst. Once the catalyst is prepared, the machine manufacturing is very simple.
Under Chen Mo's order, the chemical factory in Yinghuo City on Mars began to prepare the required catalysts.
…
Wu Shuang held a lollipop in her mouth, held Chen Mo's hand, and entered the hotel elevator. Next to her were Xiao Yu and Mo Nu.
"Dad, my grandparents came here with bad intentions this time."
"What do you know?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"Of course I know, it's not the first time that my grandparents have come here." Wushuang said to himself, "If you and mom don't give me more brothers and sisters, my grandparents will be anxious."
"Hey, little girl, eat your lollipop."
Every once in a while, Xiaoyu takes Wushuang back to have dinner with her grandparents, or her parents will come to Binhai City from their hometown to look for them.
Every time they met, they would use various hints to let him and Xiao Yusheng have a second child. Every time, Chen Mo would pretend not to understand and then fool him.
Entering the box, Chen's father and mother were already sitting at the table. Aunt Zhen and uncle were also there. Zhang Xinxin was also present. When Chen Mo and Xiaoyu came over, they smiled and said nothing. It was obvious that they had just heard something they shouldn't have heard.
"Grandpa, grandma." Wushuang saw the two old people and ran over.
"Hey, Wushuang, come and sit here."
Shao Xuemei and Chen Shanhe immediately smiled brightly when they saw Wushuang, pulled out the chair in the middle and let Wushuang sit on it.
"Mom, Dad, Aunt Zhen, Uncle."
Chen Mo and Xiaoyu asked briefly and found a seat to sit down.
The whole family is here.
"Mom, have you ordered?" Xiaoyu asked.
"It's done. Come over here and the food will be served." Wushuang and Chen Shanhe were chatting. Shao Xuemei asked the waiter to start serving the food: "Xiao Yu, I have ordered some dishes that are good for your health. You can eat more today. , taking good care of your body is the most important thing.”
Xiaoyu took the menu and said with a smile: "I know, thank you, Mom."
"Hey, there's no need to be polite to Mom." Seeing the waiter serving the dishes, Chen's mother hurriedly introduced: "Xiao Yu, come and try the black phoenix grass soup and white fungus and lotus seed soup. It's very good for your health. Eat whichever one you like."
"What is black motherwort soup?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
"Black-bone chicken, motherwort." Zhang Xinxin reminded Chen Mo in a low voice.
“…”
"There is also this snack of lotus seed and osmanthus cake. I won't eat it for now. I will eat it after finishing the meal. There is also this dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness, two dragons playing with pearls, magpie climbing plum blossoms, and five sons ascending the imperial examination..."
"Pfft!" Zhang Xinxin couldn't help laughing while drinking the soup, but she immediately stopped her smile and pretended to pick up some food.
"Mom, you ordered so much, have you finished eating?" Chen Mo didn't dare to laugh even though he wanted to.
"If you can't finish it, pack it away. It's rare to go out for a meal. Usually at home, Xiao Yu cooks for you. Wouldn't it be nice to let Xiao Yu eat more now? Also, there are so many people in the family, so these days Where are the extra dishes?" Chen Shanhe asked seriously.
"Well, not much, it's pretty good, pretty good." Chen Mo looked at the innocent-looking Xiao Yu and gave her a helpless look.
"One last dish, Baizi Ruyi, this name is the most auspicious."
“…”
This time, even Aunt Zhen and Uncle Zhen had smiles on their faces.
"Why are you so stunned? Why are you picking up food for Xiaoyu? Why do you want to be your husband? Let Xiaoyu eat more and starve your wife?"
"OK."
Chen Mo held back his laughter as he picked up the dishes for Xiao Yu. The delicate presentation was destroyed by Chen Mo's chopsticks.
"Xiaoyu, is it delicious?" Mother Chen asked softly.
"It's delicious, thank you, Mom." Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Then eat more, your body is the most important thing."
Mother Chen smiled happily and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Xiao Mo, Wushuang is already so old. Sometimes Wushuang tells me that she has no playmates and wants a younger sibling? Isn't that right, Wushuang."
"Yes, I want younger siblings."
"Uh!!" Chen Mo was slightly shocked.
In the past, it was all about hints and expressions, but this time it was direct.
"There's no rush."
"Aren't you in a hurry? How long will it take? Wushuang is already so old."
When Chen Mo said there was no rush, Chen's mother suddenly became unhappy.
"Your father and I have never urged you before. It's just that your parents are getting old and want to have two more grandchildren to accompany you and be happy. Xiaoyu, can you satisfy your parents' wishes? If you don't want to take care of the children, my mother will take care of them for you. also."
At the end of the story, Mother Chen looked disappointed.
"Mom, don't worry, Brother Mo and I are getting ready." Xiaoyu hurriedly comforted her.
"That's good, just make preparations. Mom is not in a hurry. Mom also knows whether to be in a hurry or not. It doesn't happen overnight." Mother Chen suddenly became happy and picked up a big abalone for Xiao Yu.
Zhang Xinxin next to her was just immersed in eating, with a smile on her face.
Chen Mo and Xiao Yu suddenly felt like they had been deceived.
After dinner, Chen Mo pulled Xiao Yu and Mo Nu to accompany her and Aunt Zhen to go shopping. Chen Mo was immediately disliked. Watching them leave, Chen Mo was a little depressed, but seeing his mother happy, he also smiled.
…
It was night, Chen Mo was sitting on the holographic platform in the study, paying attention to the progress of the Mars Chemical Plant.
The issue of Mars' atmosphere modification is the top priority of his current work. There is no other major technology that he particularly wants to study, so Chen Mo is now fully committed to the Mars project.
Xiao Yu and Mo Nu entered the study. Xiao Yu, wearing a translucent sexy nightgown, walked to Chen Mo and sat on his lap.
"Did you have fun with Mom today?"
"Well, Mom gave me and Mo Nu a pair of jade bracelets." Xiao Yu raised his hand and placed the jade bracelet on his wrist in front of Chen Mo.
"It's quite beautiful." Chen Mo said.
"This jade bracelet carries a mission, a heavy mission. Mo girls can't have children, so I can only complete it." Xiaoyu touched his belly, "I didn't do anything, why can't I get pregnant?"
Over the years, she also wanted to have a second child, but there was no movement in her belly and she didn't take any measures.
"Maybe I evolved too fast and had reproductive isolation." Chen Mo joked.
"Then may I ask, officer, what species are you now?"
"A very powerful new human being."
"New new human race? Does the official want to create a race? The little girl is willing to contribute a little." Xiaoyu said jokingly in Chen Mo's ear, and blew the fragrance playfully.
"Pfft... cough cough..."
Chen Mo choked on his own saliva and his face turned red.
Xiaoyu was already trembling with laughter, and Mo Nu laughed and gently stroked Chen Mo's back.
"Stop teasing you, concentrate on your work, and go back to your room to rest." Xiaoyu lay in Chen Mo's arms, unwilling to come down, and quietly accompanied Chen Mo to look at the things he was studying: "This instrument is what you said Oxygen machine?”
Chen Mo nodded.
"Oxygen generator technology is not difficult. It is now being manufactured on Mars. Once it is manufactured, the speed of the transformation of the Martian atmosphere will be greatly increased. I am just checking the progress, but there are more important things to do next. Do you want to check the progress? It doesn’t matter.”
"What's more important?"
"What do you think?"
