Chapter 1519 (2/2)

The eyes cast on the TV screen are full of envy, suspicion and even jealousy. However, no matter what kind of feelings they may have, the new era that is about to open has nothing to do with them.

”A total of S $176 billion has been invested, including S $50 billion invested by the future people's Bank. This time, our budget for colonizing Titan is quite adequate. According to the plan, we can set up a colony of 200 people on Europa, and set up water treatment station, electrolytic water station and other living facilities. Make sure we're able to send a second colony to Titan after the Jupiter system maintains a thousand people's oxygen, fresh water, and food consumption. ”

The day after the summit, Kelvin reported the summit to Jiang Chen in the headquarters of the Ministry of space.

According to the contract signed between starring trade and other countries, the colonization plan of Ganymede will be launched immediately at the end of that month, and all investment funds will be paid in one month. If Titan's gas production can reach 500 million cubic meters per day within a year, Member States will further invest in accordance with the treaty.

The output of 500 million cubic meters a day is almost half of Russia's natural gas production. Although most countries are still skeptical about the gas production of the Titan colony, Jiang Chen is not very worried about this.

He looked at the gas reserves report from the sentinel of Ganymede. Not counting the black alkanes that seeped through the pores of the surface rocks, but taking the hundreds of natural gas lakes, large and small, as an example, the gas reserves above are conservatively estimated to be hundreds of times of the proven natural gas reserves of the earth.

As long as the two problems of transportation and large-scale exploitation are solved, not to mention the production of 500 million cubic meters of natural gas per day, even if the number is doubled, it is not without conditions.

”The colonial plan is carried out according to this plan,” Jiang Chen continued, glancing at the documents sent by Kelvin. Jiang Chen continued, ”has the problem of artificial cultivation of mw1 bacteria been solved over the special project research institute?””It's OK to grow on Titan, but it's hard to grow on earth.” Kerwin replied.

”Has the cause been found?” Jiang Chen asked.

”Mw1 has a special structure and is highly resistant to cosmic radiation and low atmospheric pressure, but it is extremely demanding on gravity conditions. When the gravity coefficient exceeds 0.1g, the metabolic level of the bacteria will begin to decline exponentially. When the gravity coefficient reaches 0.8g, the metabolism of mw1 will stop. If we want to transplant the bacteria on earth, we need to improve its genotype or build the breeding base in the form of a space station in the gravity free section of the ring city. ” Kelvin repeated to Jiang Chen the original words of the researchers at the Institute for special projects.

From a cost point of view, the idea of transplanting mw1 bacteria to the earth seems unrealistic. But in fact, it doesn't matter. After all, the gas produced by Titan is naturally converted into black alkane.

Jiang Chen then asked Kerwin about the details of the construction of a total of 20 astronaut training centers in Member States, and then asked him to go down to do his own business.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon.

Just when Jiang Chen was going to have dinner in the canteen and then go back to his room to have a rest, the indicator light of his wristwatch flickered slightly.

Click on the watch's holographic screen, and Lilith's image appears next to him.

”What can I do for you?” Looking at Lilith, Jiang Chen asked.

”Lin Ling asked me to give you a message. The research task you gave her has already yielded results.”
