On September 6, the Guanghan Palace lunar base successfully received the second batch of permanent staff 380,000 kilometers from Earth, as well as hundreds of tons of equipment.
This group of staff landed on the Guanghan Palace lunar base with a new mission.
Among them are agricultural experts who plan to bring advanced planting technology from Earth to the moon.
The equipment contains special soil conditioners and various plant seeds.
On the first day after arrival, everyone was busy.
Agricultural experts couldn't wait to find a suitable area, carefully sowed the seeds, and then evenly sprinkled soil conditioners and poured specially formulated nutrient solution.
With everyone's careful care, tender green buds broke through the soil in a few days.
This scene excited everyone. It means that large-scale planting projects can be carried out on the moon, and in the future, it may be possible to achieve food self-sufficiency and reduce the cost of transporting materials from Earth.
Moreover, these green plants also add a touch of vitality to the monotonous lunar base. Looking at the new seedlings, the staff are filled with hope and more motivated, ready to start more projects on lunar development.
At the same time, the returning personnel and the returning spacecraft carrying hundreds of tons of lunar "local specialties" and special lunar materials were launched from the lunar base catapult base on schedule.
Xiao Zhen had already arranged his next work before going home to rest for a while.
Usually, the eldest son Zhennan studies at the National Space Center, and learns step by step according to the arrangements made by Xiao before his vacation.
Because Zhennan was watching over him, Xiao Zhen felt at ease to go to the Middle East to visit his third son Osa and his mother Sarah.
Three days after Xiao Zhen arrived at the Beijing Aerospace Center, his eldest daughter-in-law Guo Huiru brought Sheng Yi to their home at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang in Beijing.
After get off work, Xiao Zhen and Feng Yi found that their eldest grandson Sheng Yi was beating Miao Pu with a small stick.
When he looked up and saw Grandpa Xiao Zhen coming back, he rushed to his grandfather like a cannonball and said, "Grandpa!"
"Oh, Sheng Yi is here. Where's Sheng Wei? Why are you alone?"
"Dad Sheng Yi caught a cold the day before he left, so he stayed at grandma's house in Taipingshan to recuperate!
"Grandpa is very tired after a day's work," said the eldest daughter-in-law Guo Huiru...
Xiao Zhen's fingers drew a light blue arc on the quantum tablet, and Zhennan's eyebrows and eyes in the holographic projection were coated with silver edges by the data stream.
Through the 380,000-kilometer communication delay, he could see the flashing iris authentication indicator light in the main control room of the space center behind his son - that was the biometric system he designed himself.
"The pH of the improved lunar soil has stabilized at 6.8, but crystallization has occurred in the hydroponic chamber." Zhennan superimposed the spectral analysis of the planting area on the projection. An ice crystal was refracting diamond-shaped light at the root of a white radish. "The Agriculture Team recommends activating Contingency Plan No. 2."
Xiao Zhen was about to speak when the hot wind from the Qatari desert suddenly blew aside the tent flap. Two-year-old Sheng Yi rushed in clutching half a date cake, her hair still stained with grains of sand like stardust.
He subconsciously said "run slower" and was shocked to realize that he actually used the same tone of voice he used when teaching Old Zhang to recite "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" to his grandson.
"Father, do you want to access the live footage?" Zhennan's voice caused ripples on the projection.
Xiao Zhen looked at the crescent moon rising at the end of the sand dunes, and suddenly remembered the rainy night twenty years ago - when he had just been awarded the title of academician.
It was under such moonlight that I took Zhennan to the Farmer Group's breeding base to harvest the rice seedlings destroyed by the typhoon.
"Activate the nano-scale filtration membrane to reduce the silicate concentration in the irrigation water to 0.3ppm." Xiao Zhen said as he pulled over a piece of straw paper and drew the molecular sieve structure with a pen.
The moment the pen tip pierced the paper, Osa walked in with the sandstorm report of the photovoltaic power station. The reflections of the father and son overlapped into strange light spots in the quantum projection.
As the lunar dawn dyed the craters red, agricultural team leader Lin Man was artificially pollinating the sixth crop of space wheat.
The protective clothing and gloves could not hinder the fingertip skills she had honed for twenty years. The modified ears of wheat glowed pearly white under the xenon lamp.
When the first wheat husk suddenly cracked, the alarms in the entire planting chamber sounded at the same time - not a dangerous situation, but a special reminder set on everyone's wristband.
"The ears of grain have emerged!" The deputy team leader's scream made the communication channel buzz.
Thousands of golden rays were reflected in Lin Man's pupils. These wheat grains, which were fused with lunar silicon elements, were expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She suddenly remembered the Jiangnan wheat seeds that she always liked to scatter in front of her husband's tomb when she visited his grave on Earth.
At the same time, the return capsule "Guanghan No. 7" is experiencing a thrilling ejection window.
Driver Chen Yan's temples were throbbing, and the sound of his heavy breathing could be heard through his helmet.
The blue dot representing the earth on the navigation screen was turned into a blurred ball of light by the solar storm, and he had to use the most primitive sextant to calibrate the route - this trick was learned from the operating manual left by Xiao Zhen during the space rescue emergency.
"Pay attention to the third fuel tank!" Zhennan's distorted voice came from the communicator.
Chen Yan looked down and saw that the pressure gauge needle was trembling and climbing towards the red area. The helium-3 crystals, a specialty of the moon, emitted a cold blue light in the cargo hold.
The moment he bit open the emergency oxygen valve, he suddenly remembered what Xiao Zhen had said before he left, patting him on the shoulder: "Remember, the most useless thing in a space capsule is a perfect plan."
When the return capsule with scorch marks finally crashed into the designated waters of the Pacific Ocean, Xiao Zhen was holding Sheng Yi and identifying the Orion star map.
The child's soft fingers poked the quantum tablet and hit the docking space station.
Feng Yi walked in with Arabic coffee and saw Xiao Zhen secretly putting some nanomaterial formula into the encrypted email to Zhennan - this was very similar to when Old Zhang secretly put a handwritten copy of "Construction Methods" into his schoolbag twenty years ago.
