Chapter 683 Supply
It can be said that even if all the astronauts in the world were given to Jiang Cheng, it would not be able to meet Jiang Cheng's huge demand.

However, this matter is not something that Jiang Cheng needs to consider, and it can be solved slowly in the future.

What Jiang Cheng is concerned about now is the construction of the Mars base. Only when Gu Li completes the construction of the base can he think about the problem of insufficient astronauts.

Although the construction of the Mars base is mainly the work of automated equipment, astronauts also play an auxiliary role.

But Jiang Cheng can't just ignore it, there is still a lot of work to be done on the ground.How to build the base requires command on the ground, and coordinating every step of the work also requires ground assistance.

There are so many astronauts who can't control the equipment for building Mars, and the input of some data requires the help of the earth.

The Space Mission Center is busy with these things now, and Jiang Cheng is also staying here to care about the progress of the construction.

Jiang Cheng stood in the command hall, observing the progress of the base construction through the display screen.

The construction on Mars was photographed and sent back to the distant earth.

The display screen in the hall is divided into several pieces, each displaying different real-time images.

These pictures are all scenes on Mars, representing the working conditions in different places.

In one frame, several devices are digging the surface of Mars, which looks like they are laying the foundation for the base.

In another picture, an astronaut is assembling some parts. The large pile of parts looks very responsible, and there are all kinds of things in different shapes.

What he assembled should be the life-support equipment needed by the base, and the people in the base will rely on this to survive in the future.

There are several welding robots on one screen, welding different metal components, and an astronaut standing next to him is assisting and does not know what he is welding.

There is another picture that shows not the site where the base was built, but another empty place.

Dozens of machines are busy on this land, it seems that this robot should be digging something.

This is the iron ore factory next to the Mars base, and those mining robots are busy digging for iron ore.

There is also a smelting center right next to the iron ore factory. There are several integrated smelting and forging equipment here, which are continuously producing various steel products.

Those manufactured steel products were quickly transported back to the construction site of the base not far away by the automatic transport vehicle, and became the main materials for the construction of the base.

The Mars base needs a lot of steel, and it seems that this is the place to provide the steel.

The outer wall of the Mars base is composed of thick steel plates, and the amount of steel required is very large.

So the task here is very heavy, and it needs to supply the material needs of the entire base.

The reason why Jiang Cheng used steel as the main construction material of the base was also considering the issue of sturdiness.

Building a building on Mars is not strong enough
Even if the walls of an ordinary house are broken, it’s nothing at all, but on Mars, it’s a disaster.

In order to ensure the safety of the personnel in the Mars base, Jiang Cheng finally decided to use very thick steel plates to build the base.

It can be said that this base is made of steel, and it is completely a large lump of iron.

Only this kind of building composed entirely of thick steel plates can resist the harsh environment on Mars.

Jiang Cheng was afraid that if there was any damage to the buildings of the base, it would affect the personnel stationed inside.

So in the end, just build the Mars base with steel, so that you will never encounter those problems.

It's not that Jiang Cheng can't come up with better materials. Originally, Jiang Cheng planned to use gold and titanium as building materials, so that it would not be damaged for at least hundreds of years.

But a Mars base would require too many building materials to be transported from Earth.

And it is not possible to make gold, titanium and gold on Mars, and this super metal cannot be made at all.

It's not that there are no raw materials for making gold and titanium on Mars, it's just that the current Mars doesn't have the conditions to smelt "[-]" metals.

The manufacturing process of gold, titanium and gold is very complicated, and it is not easy to manufacture it on the earth, let alone there is nothing on Mars now, it is impossible to manufacture such advanced things.

That's why Jiang Cheng chose steel as a material in the end, because smelting and processing steel is relatively simple. At least now, materials can be obtained locally on Mars and mined and smelted on a large scale.Maybe wait until the Mars base is gradually perfected in the future, and the relevant conditions are sufficient.

The technology of gold-titanium gold can also be manufactured on Mars, and then buildings can be built with this material.

But this may be a long time later, I don't know if it will be possible to wait until the Mars base has been expanded several times.

Now astronauts on Mars still need to use those thick steel plates to slowly build buildings.

All things need to be done slowly. Only when the Mars base is initially established can we talk about expanding and developing in the future.

"How is the construction progress of the Mars base now? Did you encounter any problems during the construction process? Jiang Cheng asked for details while watching the situation on the Ruo display screen.

There are many things that cannot be seen with his eyes alone, and many detailed things need to be understood in depth.

The construction of the Mars base has started for some time now, and the astronauts on Mars will report to the earth at any time about the situation on the site.

The content of each report will be recorded in detail as the basis for the adjustment plan of the Space Mission Center.

The construction plan of the Mars base is not static. Jiang Cheng will adjust the specific construction plan at any time according to the situation and progress of the site.

Jiang Cheng just came to the space mission center today, and he has not learned about the situation on site, so he sent such an inquiry.

After hearing Jiang Cheng asked about the situation on Mars, Xiao Peng beside him immediately stood up and said: "The construction progress is in line with our expected plan. As long as there are no accidents, it should be completed within the construction period."

Mars has not encountered any major problems so far, a few minor troubles have been resolved, and have not affected the construction of the base

Reporting such things to Jiang Cheng is generally done by Xiao Peng, and Xiao, the nobleman of the technical team, has been staying at the Space Mission Center to stare at Ruo during this time.

Peng knew the invitations from Mars like the back of his hand, and it was most appropriate for him to introduce him to Jiang Cheng.

Soon Xiao Jieruo said to Jiang Cheng: "The overall construction situation is pretty good now, and basically nothing unexpected has happened.

The mining robots at the iron ore factory are very efficient, and the materials needed to build the base can be supplied.
