As a result of the explosion in production capacity, the twelve large frames of the Mars orbit platform have been produced and are waiting for the Luna series cargo spacecraft to be towed to the Mars orbit for assembly.

The reason why they are produced so quickly is entirely due to the construction of these frames, which are mainly made of steel and aluminum alloys.

After many improvements and upgrades, the iron alloy not only does not suffer from cold brittleness at low temperatures, but its strength far exceeds that of titanium alloy.

It also has a certain affinity for spiritual energy, making it easier to become a spiritual material. This is why Yang Qing chose it as the main frame of the Mars platform.

Because the Mars platform has been operating in space for at least a thousand years.

If we were on a blue star, after thousands of years, the steel would have corroded and become rotten. In space, although there are no poisons like oxygen, there are still many harmful effects from solar wind and cosmic rays. These are all man-made. Buildings are easily damaged.

This kind of damage is not visible on the surface, but over time, you will find that the good materials have become riddled with holes and cannot be used.

Of course, Mars must have been transformed by then, and there is no reason to give up in just a thousand years.

Although the universe is huge and there are countless stars, there are really not many planets suitable for transformation into habitable planets.

Venus counts as one, but because it is too close to the sun, it is extremely susceptible to the influence of the sun. It is easy to heat the surface of a planet, but cooling it and lowering the atmospheric pressure is the most difficult thing.

The universe is a near-vacuum environment. Things inside can only emit energy through radiation. Even if all energy from the outside is completely shielded, according to this cooling method, the time span can be as long as millions of years. above.

In addition, there are several satellites of Jupiter. Although they are considered satellites, each one is not much smaller than Mars. The Jupiter system can be regarded as a specific and tiny small solar system.

They have no shortage of water and are not far from the sun, but they are only suitable for small-scale transformation.

Because above them, there are several problems, mainly they are covered with a thick layer of ocean.

That is, after it is heated to a certain level, the sea surface liquefies. The huge tides caused by Jupiter at that time are not comparable to the ocean tides on the Blue Star. If the gravity of satellites like Europa and Ganymede is equivalent to that of the Blue Star, then The huge waves caused by the tide every day will definitely exceed several hundred meters.

In this environment, no ship can survive on it, let alone be modified.

Therefore, Mars is qualified to become another home planet for mankind, and there is absolutely no reason to give up.

However, a thousand years later, humankind's technological progress will be unimaginable to people today.

You must know that it has only been more than 200 years since the Industrial Revolution. Even the best science fiction writers would be hard-pressed to describe all the changes that have occurred over the past 200 years.

So a thousand years later, especially with the blessing of the rune system from the ancient times, no one knows what kind of leaps in technology will take place.

At that time, perhaps the way to increase gravity was to add a set of devices that could enhance gravity in the center of Mars. Even the planet itself would have the ability to attract photons, just like what Yang Qing did at the Blue Star base. But at that time, the area of ​​influence was only a few dozen square kilometers, but now it can cover the entire planet.

This is the reason why Yang Qing only requires that these platforms can last for a thousand years, instead of counting in tens of thousands of years like the life seed repository.

In fact, this mining shelf can exist for far longer than a thousand years.

The frame will carry a certain magnetic field, which can deflect most of the incoming cosmic rays and solar wind, ensuring the lifespan of the solar panels and reflectors, at least allowing them to have a service life of about a hundred years.

The performance of aluminum alloys in the vacuum environment of the universe is no worse than that of titanium alloys. The only disadvantage is that they are not suitable for entering planets with dense atmospheres, because the chemical properties of aluminum alloys are relatively active and are easily corroded and burned.

Although titanium alloy reserves are not scarce, titanium is extremely difficult to smelt and process because of its poor heat conductivity. If you want to produce industrial products in large quantities and cheaply, iron is naturally more suitable.

Yang Qing didn't care about this in the past, but when he compared the production difficulties of titanium and iron and aluminum, he obediently chose steel, which is a relatively earthy but most widely used material.

Not only the platform on Mars, but also the spacecraft preparing to go to the asteroid belt and capture asteroids are all made of steel.

In the past three years, the manufacturing industry of spacecraft has never stopped. More than 200 spacecrafts have flown towards the asteroid belt carrying ropes made of carbon nanotubes.

At the same time, a large space station built at the Lagrange point of the Martian sun is also being assembled.

This space station is different from China's Tiangong and the International Space Station led by OMI. It is expected to be a space station, rather than a space factory.

It is expected to be completed in two years and will undertake the tasks of spacecraft transfer and spacecraft maintenance.

Even if the spacecraft has a protective cover and various emergency nanomachines for daily maintenance, there will definitely be all kinds of inexplicable malfunctions during a space journey that is measured in years.

Not to mention flying in the universe, after returning, necessary maintenance and upkeep must be carried out.

In the future, from Mars to Blue Star, it is impossible for a ship to come directly. It must go through several steps.

For example, take off from Blue Star, then dock on the moon, transfer to an interstellar spacecraft, go to the Mars station, continue to change ships, and then enter Mars.

Because Mars does not have large satellites like the moon, it cannot serve as a temporary docking station for spacecraft, so this Mars station is also a necessary part.

All these tasks are being carried out in an orderly manner, and Yang Qing has never been idle.

After all, there are many talisman formations that only he can draw. There are thousands of core talisman formations. Even with his cultivation level, he often ends up with a score of 996 and occasionally 007.

This is because with the increase in personnel in the base, more than 500 students in the Qi refining stage were suddenly added to the base.

Although they could not draw various talisman formations, Xiao Ai could control the laser engraving machine to carve some unimportant talisman formations first and then activate them.

Among them, Xiao Ai also had to take over part of the work.

Although as a weapon spirit, she can also activate the talisman array, but the activation of the talisman array must be done in a place with strong spiritual energy. This is an ability that she only has as her computing power has increased recently and she has entered the realm of forming pills.

In the base, although there is spiritual energy, the creatures and people have adapted to this spiritual energy environment and can further increase the concentration.

However, with the arrival of a new batch of students, the concentration of spiritual energy had to continue to be maintained at the original level. Only in the training areas of those students in the Qi refining period, the concentration increased a little.

Although spiritual energy is necessary for cultivation, the concentration of this thing is not better.

It is like a double-edged sword. If the aura is too concentrated, over time, it will assimilate the creatures inside and turn it into something crystallized.

The key point is that there is no warning for this transformation. Once the transformation begins, the soul will be transformed first. Once the soul is transformed, it will inevitably die.

The same goes for people, and the same goes for objects. The material used to depict the rune array is actually not very demanding, but a high-concentration aura environment will affect the material that holds the rune array. If the material changes, the basis for the existence of the runes will also change. thereby failing.

These things may seem inconspicuous, but they are indeed the experience gained by Yang Qing and Xiao Ai after several years of use.
