Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 722 - 721 Route

Soon, a whole day had passed, and the first batch of candidates had completed their tests.

The first day's situation was satisfactory to Jiang Cheng; in the end, thirty people met all the requirements and entered the final selection list.

This ratio was acceptable to Jiang Cheng. If things continued like today, they would definitely be able to fill the quota of five hundred people.

Initially, Jiang Cheng's biggest worry was that out of 300,000 people, they might not be able to find even 500 qualified individuals.

Fortunately, these candidates exceeded his expectations; personnel issues no longer seemed to be a concern now.

The subsequent tests continued in an orderly manner. Some people successfully passed all the tests and could finally start astronaut training.

It could be said that these people already had one foot in space, and as long as they trained diligently, there shouldn't be any significant problems.

Those who passed were all very excited, just waiting to officially begin training after the tests were completed.

Where there are people happy, there will undoubtedly be people who are sad. Those who were eliminated could only leave reluctantly, saying goodbye to the astronaut profession.

Judging by the elimination rate of this test, the majority might be disheartened. Perhaps after failing, these people would come to terms with reality and stop dreaming further.

But life must go on regardless, and not being able to become an astronaut isn't such a big deal.

After more than ten days of intense and exciting tests, the list of those who had been selected was finally confirmed.

In the end, five hundred lucky individuals found themselves on this list, ready to soon begin their training.

However, passing the test doesn't mean smooth sailing; they still face incredibly rigorous training.

Just looking at the list of subjects to be learned could make one dizzy, and physical training is something that can't be skipped even for a day.

Those who can't keep up with the training pace will ultimately still face elimination.

With the end of the selection test, astronaut training officially commenced immediately. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This large-scale astronaut training base finally welcomed its first batch of students.

In the future, new students will continue to join, eventually making it a significant astronaut training center.

Perhaps the astronauts who leave this place will fly to various parts of the universe to carry out their respective missions.

In Jiang Cheng's eyes, this place is the cradle of spacemen; the future spacemen of humanity will rely on this place.

Once the first batch of astronauts began training, Jiang Cheng left the training base.

Although spaceships require many hands, development in other areas cannot be neglected.

Otherwise, when enough personnel for spaceships is ready but the ships themselves haven't been built, it would be quite an embarrassing situation.

Jiang Cheng left because of the future spaceship manufacturing plan, as the Mars Base has now been completed.

The materials needed for the spaceship can be obtained from Mars, and only Mars can provide a sufficient source of materials.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng cannot neglect the affairs on Mars either, as it relates to whether the spaceship can be built.

After leaving the astronaut training base, Jiang Cheng went directly to the Space Mission Center.

This place is monitoring the construction progress of the Mars Base, and it was from here that he received the news of its completion.

The Mars Base has been completely finished? All the planned projects have been completed?

Upon returning, Jiang Cheng immediately found Xiao Peng and began questioning him directly.

During this time, Xiao Peng had always been here, so asking him about the Mars Base was definitely right.

That's right, the Mars Base is completely finished. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare let you come back now.

All construction projects have been fully completed; living areas, experimental areas, and equipment areas have all been officially put into operation.

The life support system is functioning well, capable of providing basic survival requirements for the personnel inside the base.

Xiao Peng was well-informed about the situation of the Mars Base, so he could answer Jiang Cheng's questions without needing to check any data.

The Ecological Planting Area has also started working; it won't be long before it can start providing various foods to meet the needs of personnel on Mars.

By then, we won't need to continue sending food and other supplies to Mars, freeing up a lot of cargo space for transporting equipment needed on Mars."

People cannot live without food; going a day without eating would leave them powerless, unable to accomplish much.

Therefore, astronauts on Mars consume a large amount of food daily.

Previously, all this food was transported from Earth to sustain the needs of those astronauts.

Initially, Jiang Cheng launched thirty rockets, carrying astronauts along with equipment and materials, flying to Mars.

These thirty rockets were only for the construction needs of the Mars Base; supplies and consumables were not counted within them.

Subsequently, Jiang Cheng launched another twenty rockets towards Mars, fully loaded with food and other supplies needed by astronauts, as well as some replacement parts and equipment.

Therefore, the ability for the Mars Base to provide its own food was very important and worth specifically mentioning by Xiao Peng.

If Mars can produce its own food, it would save Jiang Cheng a great deal of effort.

Now Jiang Cheng has freed up many rockets, which can be used to transport other essential equipment to Mars.

The Mars Base isn't something that can just be built and left alone; there are many expansion plans in the future, continuously requiring equipment and machinery to be transported from Earth.

Perhaps once the Mars Base becomes sufficiently developed, the need for such frequent transportation will decrease.

If Mars can manufacture all mechanical equipment, it could completely develop independently from Earth.

This would save Jiang Cheng from the massive labor of sending supplies across vast space distances.

However, this might take a very long time, and for now, Jiang Cheng still needs to maintain the Earth to Mars supply route.

Jiang Cheng essentially launches at least ten rockets per month, carrying necessary items to Mars.

Now, this cosmic route seems exceptionally busy; rockets can be frequently seen flying between Mars and Earth.

These rockets have added some vitality to the silent solar system, signaling that humanity can finally operate within the solar system.

Although for now, there is only this one route from Earth to Mars, it will definitely increase slowly in the future.

Once Jiang Cheng starts developing other planets, rockets will be all over the solar system, making the entire system lively.

However, it's not yet time to develop other planets; the recently developed Mars has just begun, and other more distant planets will have to wait their turn.

Now that the Mars Base is completed, some of the astronauts on Mars can return."
