Chapter 165, promising space agriculture

In the Sky City outside the Earth, Li Fu and Chen Bin sat on a moving chair and followed Luo Xiaoyao to visit the entire Sky City.

Because it is only affected by microgravity, there is no difference between up and down in the entire Sky City, front and back. From time to time, other staff members are driving moving chairs on everyone's heads, and they can see each other when they look up.

"At present, our area is the space port area, which has been fully built and put into use. It has 8 space port terminals, each terminal is more than 2,000 meters long, and can park hundreds of "Hercules" aerospace planes at the same time. If it is a small aerospace plane, the number of which can be parked will be even larger."

Luo Xiaoyao led the way and gave a detailed explanation to Li Fu and Chen Bin.

Li Fu naturally knew the detailed data of the space port very well, and could even recite it. However, when he really came to visit the space, he still felt very novel. He watched outer space from time to time through thick tempered glass, and asked this and that from time to time, which seemed very curious.

"We can see our Tiangong Space Station in China from this location, but if you want to see it clearly, you still need to use a telescope."

Luo Xiaoyao handed a pair of telescopes to Li Fu and pointed at a window and said.

Li Fu looked in the direction with his glasses. A huge space building complex appeared in his field of view. The scale of the "Tiangong" space station was already very large. One after another, the space capsules built a very large group. The overall size was far beyond Li Fu's sky city.

"The Tiangong Space Station has tens of thousands of space capsules, of which the large space capsules launched later account for more than 90%. One space capsule has a length of more than 50 meters and a diameter of 5 meters. All of them are used to use large space planes to transport the entire cabin into space. Only China has such a huge work."

Luo Xiaoyao said proudly that although he is working for Li Fu now, he is a military person after all, and his patriotic feelings are still flowing out.

"It's really amazing. Tsk tsk, I saw dozens of this space plane just here at the Tiangong Space Station. Basically, every once in a while, there are space planes flying over the ground, and then a space planes flying to the moon or the earth. It's very busy!"

Li Fu nodded and handed the telescope to Chen Bin. "Tiangong" is now the largest artificial building complex in the entire space. Li Fu's Sky City is no less than that.

"The huge is very huge, but its construction method is still limited to the old-fashioned space capsule mode, and the use of space is still very poor. Although our Sky City as a whole is far inferior to it, its future development should be better."

After reading it, Chen Bin nodded, pondered for a while and expressed his opinion.

"Lao Luo, take us to other areas for a walk."

Li Fu smiled and shook his head, and began to continue inspecting again.

"This is our living area, which is mainly used to rest and exercise in space."

Soon, everyone came to the living area of ​​Sky City. In each room, some people were sleeping in the sleeping cabin, some were constantly doing some mechanical stretching exercises, and the number was quite large.

"Because there is no gravity in space or it is only affected by microgravity, the human bones will appear a little redundant in this case. If you stay in space for a long time, the human bones will be in a relaxed state for a long time, and once you return to the ground, you will be completely paralyzed."

"So in space, astronauts must exercise for at least 2 hours a day. The exercise method is to use mechanical stretching, which can greatly slow down the loss of bone calcium, and will not become lifelong disabled when returning to the ground."

Luo Xiaoyao faced a group of astronauts who were sweating. Scientists explained the importance of physical exercise in space. Human bones evolved because of the gravity of the earth, and bones needed to support their bodies.

"Lao Luo, the supervision work in this regard must be done well. We must persist in training until the prescribed time every day. In addition, the time people in our company spend in space should be set to set a reasonable range. It is best not to be too long. If you stay for a few days, you should change people back to the ground."

After hearing this, Li Fu nodded, then thought carefully and reminded Luo Xiaoyao to come.

"I see."

Luo Xiaoyao nodded, and was also moved by the boss's concern for the health of his employees so much.

Soon, everyone came to the agricultural area again. As soon as they entered the agricultural area, the green eyes suddenly came into view. In rows of racks, various crops grew very well, many of which had blossomed and fruitful.

"This rice is so incredible. It can actually produce several rice ears. Should this be the genetic technology?"

Chen Bin, who was born in the countryside, saw a piece of golden rice in the agricultural area, quickly went over and looked carefully, and then immediately exclaimed.

He has seen rice a lot since he was a child, and he followed his parents to work in the farmlands a lot when he was a child. There is only one rice ear for rice. This has been happening since ancient times. However, the rice I see in space now is like corn. One rice ear blooms out of one festival, and one rice plant has several rice ears, which is really unbelievable.

"No, all the crops here are purely original, definitely not genetically modified crops. This is the same as rice. It is also very ordinary seeds, and they are not even hybrid rice."

Hearing Chen Bin's words, a man next to him who was carefully studying the crops and wearing a white coat came over and replied with a smile.

"You are Gu Feng, are you?"

When Li Fu saw him, he recalled carefully in his mind and immediately knew his detailed information. A top student who graduated from Biomedical Sciences of the Imperial Capital University and a scientist at the Institute of Biological Sciences of Fuyun Science and Technology. Now the most important thing is to study biological gene technology.

"Brother Fu."

Gu Feng was slightly moved, but he didn't expect Li Fu to know him.

"Gu Feng, since it is an original crop, why does this rice undergo such a huge change after it reaches space? Every section of it can actually produce a rice ear, which is absolutely impossible on the earth."

Chen Bin pulled out a rice plant, observed it carefully, and carefully counted the amount of rice on each ear of rice, took the millet into his hand and rubbed it to try the fullness of the millet.

He was surprised to find that the number of millets on these rice rice ears actually reached more than 150, and generally there are at least three rice ears on one rice plant. In this way, this rice plant actually has 450 millets, which is more than twice the yield of hybrid rice with the highest yield on the earth.

In addition to the significant increase in yield, Chen Bin also found that these rice and rice millets were very full, almost very even, and they were undoubtedly the best rice.

"We have not yet fully understood this phenomenon. In fact, the yields of rice, such as wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. in space are very high. Generally, it is several times more than ground planting. Some are like some vine crops, and the yield is even more terrifyingly high."

"Please look at this bean. Its output has reached more than ten times that of the earth; this is watermelon, which is more than ten times higher than that of the earth. There are also pumpkins, winter melons, cucumbers, etc. The output has generally increased by more than ten times. It has very good quality, good taste, and extremely high nutritional value. It is definitely the top agricultural product."

Gu Feng nodded and began to explain in detail to everyone. Everyone followed his explanation and saw that there were many branches of green beans, and each branch was full of green beans. The vines of the watermelon spread in large areas, and huge watermelons were floating quietly. Even people who did not understand agriculture at all knew that the yield was very high.

"It should be related to the lack of gravity in space, right?"

Li Fu touched his chin, and Li Fu was used to these crops and so on since childhood. When he was a child, he helped his parents with farm work. Of course, he knew that the yield of these crops on the earth was absolutely not so terrifying.

"Well, at present, it can only be attributed to changes in space that are not affected by gravity or microgravity. Of course, there is another very important reason that we are precisely cultivating according to the needs of various crops, how much water, how many nutrients, the composition of nutrients, etc.."

"Of course there is another reason that this is space, and the sunlight is very sufficient, even when it is 24 hours a day, it can be achieved; there are also no pests and diseases in space, and there is no need to inject pesticides, etc.."

"The yield of crops will be so high with many factors combined, and the quality is very good. The produced crops taste very good and have high nutritional value."

Gu Feng nodded and pointed out the advantages of high yield, high quality and pollution-free crops in space.

"In this way, space agriculture really has great potential. Even if the cost of transporting water resources is not cheap, once this yield is increased, it is a high-quality crop, and there is still a lot of profit margins."

Luo Xiaoyao, who had not spoken aside, couldn't help but nodded at this time, and carefully calculated with his fingers.

"Of course there is great potential. The space in space is infinite and the sun is infinite. As long as you make good use of the space and arrange your time and location, the output value of crops will be very high."

Gu Feng nodded and said in a natural tone, obviously he is very optimistic about space agriculture.
