Chapter 354 (1/2)

The manufacturing area of the base is located on the other side of the base, with chimneys rising from the ground into the air.

Future emissions from these chimneys will slowly change the temperature of Mars.

Of course, these changes are a drop in the bucket, but Tang has other ways to increase the temperature of Mars, and the emissions from this factory are just icing on the cake.

This manufacturing factory contains all the functions of mining, refining, forging and manufacturing, which can make the base self-sufficient in parts!

Of course, chips and other high-end equipment can not be manufactured here, and only low-tech parts can be produced here.

Five 10 meter high trams are the main force responsible for transporting ore. a meteorite crater not far from the base is used to provide minerals for the base.

The meteorite falling here brought a large amount of precious metals, enough for the base mining for a year!

Underground, a well being excavated is the main source of water supply for the base in the future.

Once the frozen water source or underground river is found underground, the water source problem of the forward base will be completely solved!

However, before the discovery of water sources, the forward base still had to rely on the water tanks dropped over Mars-1 to survive.

”The satellite network in Mars orbit has been launched. Communication satellites, meteorological satellites, resource exploration satellites and navigation satellites have all been put into orbit. You will soon receive all kinds of information sent back by satellites.” Tang looked at all the satellites in orbit on the display and said to the astronauts on the ground.

”Got it!”

”We hope that the resource exploration satellite can find more metal mines as soon as possible. We plan to start expanding the base after the agricultural area is stable.” The astronauts on the ground breathed a long sigh of relief.

The launch of the satellite network means that they will be able to grasp all the dynamics of Mars without worrying about the sudden arrival of sandstorms.

Some time ago, although Mars-1 issued a warning, they were still disheartened by a sudden sandstorm.

And one of them almost got lost outside the base. Thanks to the help of robots, he got rid of the danger!

”Can we communicate with Bluestar?” After leaving blue star for such a long time, the astronauts have missed their relatives and friends.

”Yes! But because there is a signal delay of more than 10 minutes, you can only contact by message. ”

”But please note that all your messages will be checked by Titan several times before they are sent to your friends and relatives!”

”Your mission is top secret! No information can be disclosed to the public! Once you break the rules, you know what the consequences will be! ” Tang's tone became serious.

”We know! Don't worry The astronauts said they knew it.

The back of the moon at this time.

After 120 days of development, the original crater mines and factories have been completely completed!

An orbital elevator pulled by the space station also stands in the center of the crater.

Due to the fact that the moon's gravity is much smaller, the engineering amount of this orbital elevator is not very large, the difficulty is not high, and the technical content is so low that the blue star federation can build it.

However, the existence of the rail elevator reduces the time consumption of the ground factory to build parts and then transport them to the shipyard by a fifth of the original time!
