Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 855 - 854: Supplies

The spacesuits they wore were much more convenient than those of the past.

However, the spacesuit was still somewhat thick, and wearing it was far less convenient than ordinary clothes.

After taking off the spacesuit, Jiang Cheng began to observe the environment inside the base.

At this time, the person in charge of the base began to welcome them: "Welcome to Mars Base. You will live here in the coming days."

"Let me introduce you to this place. Mars Base is quite large, and I need to guide you to familiarize yourself with it."

Under the guidance of the person in charge, Jiang Cheng and his group entered the base.

This permanent Mars Base covers a large area, and all the buildings are constructed with sturdy metal, capable of withstanding Mars's extreme climate.

When this permanent base was constructed, Jiang Cheng invested a lot of resources on Mars.

However, the invested resources were not wasted, and this massive base is the best proof of that.

Since the base is entirely enclosed, it's comprised of interconnected structures.

Passages connect each structure, allowing direct access to any place within the base.

The base itself is a giant structure, which appears from the outside as a cluster of buildings connected by passageways.

This design makes the internal structure of the base extremely complex, and without a guide, newcomers could easily get lost.

This is why the Mars Base person in charge volunteered to be the guide, helping Jiang Cheng and his team quickly familiarize themselves with the environment.

Here is the command center for Mars City construction, where all astronauts will live.

Jiang Cheng and his team will manage the entire operation from here, issuing countless orders and requests.

Future Mars City will be constructed based on this base.

This Mars Base will be their long-term place of residence and the main hub for constructing Mars City.

If they are unfamiliar with their workplace, how can Jiang Cheng and his team proceed with their work?

Being familiar with the internal environment of Mars Base is their first task upon arriving on Mars.

The base's person in charge led Jiang Cheng and his team, passing through buildings of various sizes.

As they passed these buildings, he would introduce the function of the equipment within.

Different buildings have distinct functions, equipped with various machines.

Some buildings provide breathable air for the base, with several air circulation systems installed inside.

Other buildings are responsible for energy supply, featuring fusion reactors that constantly output electricity.

There are other buildings with different functions, all serving the base.

Of course, there's also the largest building in the base, the dome-shaped transparent structure.

This transparent dome structure is the most prominent building in Mars Base and is crucial within the base.

Known as the ecological farm area, it supplies food for the entire base.

Jiang Cheng and his team arrived at this ecological farm area, observing its operation.

Upon entering the transparent building, Jiang Cheng see the Mars landscape outside.

The transparent design utilizes Mars's sunlight to provide necessary light for plants.

However, Mars's sunlight is insufficient, requiring artificial supplementation.

The large bulbs installed on top of the ecological farm area serve this purpose.

Jiang Cheng and his team spent a long time inside the base, having just eaten in the dining area.

Due to the base's immense size, it took them significant time to explore.

With Mars' time now evening, the night sky can be seen outside.

Shi Su looked through the transparent walls of the ecological farm area, seeing the bright stars overhead.

Mars's night sky is completely different from Earth's, as its position differs, making the starry sky significantly brighter.

With a thinner atmosphere than Earth and no industrial pollution, Mars's stars appear exceptionally bright.

Under the bright starry sky, the transparent farm area was bathed in a faint silver light, appearing utterly beautiful.

Jiang Cheng viewed this stunning starlight, proceeded to the center of the farm, and inspected the crops planted in the ground.

After observing the crop growth, Jiang Cheng stood up and began inquiring about specifics.

"What is the crop yield like here? How many types of food are produced, and how many people can be provided with daily necessities?"

Food is always the top concern for humans, and Jiang Cheng inquired about the farming situation.

The base person in charge beside him, upon hearing Jiang Cheng's questioning, immediately recalled recent records.

After recalling the farm data, he quickly answered: "Initially, the crop yields were low, but after several years of development, they have become quite substantial."

"We can now provide several staple foods and over a dozen side foods, with a fairly diverse variety."

Pointing towards small pens near the farms, he continued: "Over there we also conduct livestock farming, providing some meat supply."

"Our ecological farm can provide daily nutritional needs for five hundred people, which can essentially meet the base personnel's requirements."

After listening to the introduction, Jiang Cheng nodded, acknowledging that providing the needs for five hundred people was commendable.

The food consumed by five hundred people daily is a significant amount, ensuring the base is self-sufficient is indeed a great achievement.

However, the food produced here cannot meet upcoming demand.

Because Jiang Cheng brought thousands of astronauts, far exceeding the supply limits.

While the base's ecological farm area can't meet the Mars City construction needs,

Jiang Cheng won't let astronauts go hungry, having already prepared the necessary supply materials.
