Because Chen Ming was looking for food at the time, he didn't pay much attention to the planting cabin after he found it was empty.

Therefore, Chen Ming had no idea what the equipment in these planting chambers did and how they worked.

So Chen Ming's thoughts returned to the previous question: how to use the planting cabin.

In this way, when we land on the planet later, we will be able to make faster and more accurate plans.

Chen Ming clicked on the [Planting Cabin] in the cabin column on the panel.

The three-dimensional image of the entire implant chamber suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chen Ming looked at the extremely finely detailed image in amazement, and then looked at the panel that appeared along with the three-dimensional image.

【Growing Chamber】

[Space: 5*5*5]

[Fixed equipment: hydroponic culture tank (stopped operation), nutrient solution precipitator (stopped operation),]

[Disassembled equipment: solar lamp (out of service), advanced plant analyzer (out of service), agricultural machinery components (out of service)]

[Item: 500ml crop nutrient solution*2]

Chen Ming thought about it, then got up and went directly to the planting cabin.

Some things are hard to understand just by looking at the panel, and you can understand them better if you see them with your own eyes.

This time when Chen Ming entered the planting cabin, he took a special look at the overall layout, which was exactly the same as the three-dimensional image presented on the panel.

After Chen Ming entered the cabin, his appearance was not shown on it.

But it's not a big deal.

Chen Ming looked around the entire cabin and looked at the device that occupied the largest area in the cabin, almost half of the space.

At the same time, he clicked on the name of the equipment displayed on the panel, [Hydroponics Chamber].

【Hydroponics Chamber】

[Already planted: None]

[Remaining planting space: 100%]

[Nutrient solution reserve: 0ml]

[Current maintenance environment: None]

The hydroponic chamber looks simple in appearance. It is a device used to isolate the crop planting environment from the surrounding environment.

According to the panel and the introduction to all the functions of the spacecraft in the "Spacecraft Operation Manual" that Chen Ming found in the spacecraft computer, it can be seen that the hydroponic chamber has the function of maintaining the most basic environment required for crop growth.

It's big in size, but its functions are simple.

However, it also has a special feature, which is that crops can be cultivated without soil through nutrient solution.

The efficiency of planting, the utilization rate of unit planting area, and the utilization rate of spacecraft space are all very high.

This function needs to be carried out in conjunction with the matching equipment [Nutrient Solution Extractor].

The nutrient solution extractor is right next to the hydroponic tank, and the whole device looks like a juicer.

The upper layer is an opening that can be filled with various items.

The middle layer is a transparent tank with various sophisticated and complex devices inside.

The lower level is a small storage space, which contains the two 500ml bottles of nutrient solution displayed on the panel.

Chen Ming clicked on its panel.

【Nutrient solution precipitation instrument】

[Raw materials: empty]

[Finished product: None]

[Internal storage: 500ml crop nutrient solution*2]

The three pieces of content correspond exactly to the three parts.

At this time, Chen Ming also understood the meaning of the "object" on the cabin panel, which should refer to all items in the entire room that were not equipment.

As long as it is placed in this cabin, it will be detected by the panel.

These two bottles of nutrient solution are probably about thirty years old, and I don’t know if they have expired.

Chen Ming estimated that it should not be yet, otherwise its name might not be nutrient solution, but water or some other suspension.

Then came the raw materials for the nutrient solution extractor, which Chen Ming also saw in the spacecraft operating manual.

Anything that has nutrients for crop production can serve as raw material.

However, when Chen Ming saw the range of raw material options, the first thing he thought of was soil.

Although he didn't have it on hand at the moment, it was obvious that soil was the most abundant thing on the planet below.

The crops Chen Ming chooses to plant will be selected from this planet, so it would be perfect to extract nutrient solution from the soil on the planet.

Chen Ming had a general understanding of the two fixed equipment.

The other three are disassembled devices.

Solar lamps can be used to provide sunlight for crops grown in hydroponic chambers.

The agricultural machinery component is an auxiliary equipment installed on the hydroponic tank. It takes care of the crops inside according to its own internal program settings, which is very worry-free.

As for the Advanced Plant Analyzer.

Its data chip records most of the plants that have been discovered by humans, and can help Chen Ming determine whether the various plants found on the planet later are edible.

Even if a new plant is discovered that is not recorded in the database, the analyzer can still analyze the sample to determine whether it is toxic and whether it is edible for humans.

The function of this thing determines whether it is the key to whether Chen Ming can survive in the future.

Chen Ming understood the planting process of the planting cabin, so the subsequent planning was very simple.

Land on the planet, find food, analyze it, and take off after getting enough seeds and food, leaving here and returning to the human world.

It looks simple, but actually we haven’t even started the first step yet. Now it’s just planning.

Before officially starting the first step, landing on the planet, Chen Ming needs to repair the damaged landing module of the spacecraft first.

Then a very realistic problem was put before Chen Ming again.

There is not enough material on the spacecraft.

So Chen Ming chose to continue entering the work cabin.

This spaceship named Iron Ore is a mining spaceship.

The spacecraft is located in an asteroid ring that is extremely rich in mineral resources.

How could I be suffocated by the problem of materials?

After entering the working cabin, Chen Ming also opened the panel of the working cabin.

【Working cabin】

[Space: 5*5*5]

[Fixed equipment: asteroid scanning detector (out of service), marine smelting furnace (out of service)]

[Disassembled equipment: Type II mining laser transmitter (out of service), asteroid traction equipment (out of service)]

[Object: None]

The functions of these devices on the panel were all written on their names, so Chen Ming didn't need to study them too much.

You just need to start using this set of equipment according to the usage procedures stored in the database of the spacecraft computer.

The entire process of scanning, traction, mining and smelting can be controlled by computers.

However, when Chen Ming tried to start the asteroid scanning detector, he discovered a problem.

There are very few asteroids near mining stations.

Either it was cleaned out many years ago when the space station was built, or it was dug up when the space station was opened.

If Chen Ming wants to find an asteroid containing a large amount of materials needed to repair the landing module, he must leave the space station and go farther away.

But Chen Ming didn't want to lose the coordinates of the space station.

Therefore, he had to wait on the spacecraft for the planet below to rotate in orbit for a day, confirm the rotation and revolution trajectory of the planet, and lock the relative position of the space station close to himself before leaving.

Chen Ming remembered that the rotation period of the planet below seemed to be similar to that of the Earth.

He could wait for a day.

And it doesn't mean that the spacecraft can't do anything near the mining space station during this period.

It’s not that there are no asteroids near the space station, it’s just that there are fewer of them and they are scattered around.

Since I have no experience in using mining equipment, I can take this opportunity to familiarize myself with the equipment.

Try to collect some less valuable minerals from nearby asteroids.
