Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

"The spacecraft construction will take at least six months. Use this time to prepare. We will place hibernation pods on the spacecraft, and you'll arrive in no time after a good night's sleep!"

Considering that it takes a full year, it's far too long.

Therefore, the designers specifically installed a hibernation pod on the Jupiter Gravity rover.

At that time, Fang Jing will only need to take a nap.

We've reached the vicinity of Jupiter!

"By the time you come back, more than a year will have passed. By then, people here are probably already going into space on a large scale!"

At the current pace.

In just one year, the changes have been earth-shattering!

"I am looking forward."

Fang Jing smiled slightly.

My heart was filled with excitement.

After all, he was about to become one of the first people in history to enter Jupiter's orbit.

"However, before that, we have another good show to watch."

Old Zhu grinned, pointed to the sky, and said:

"After completing its experimental tests, the Kunming warship will travel to Mars to complete its landing there!"

"The scientific research personnel on board will bring a set of equipment with them."

"equipment?"

Fang Jing was startled.

This device, which was specifically mentioned by Mr. Zhu, must be very useful!

"It is a kit for an artificial photosynthesis factory."

Old Zhu chuckled and explained:

"The main component of Mars' atmosphere is carbon dioxide."

"We plan to establish a development base on and around Mars, which happens to be located between Mars and Jupiter in the asteroid belt."

"!"

Upon hearing Elder Zhu's explanation, Fang Jing instantly understood!

Good guy.

While they were building the Earth-Moon economic zone, the people there had already started planning for Mars!

This is going to turn Mars into a mineral distribution center for the asteroid belt!

"The asteroid belt, or even the whole of Mars, must have a lot of mineral resources."

Old Zhu murmured to himself, then suddenly laughed:

"When we discover a kilometer-scale meteorite made entirely of gold, perhaps we'll have to find a different way to link our currency to our assets!"

A meteorite with a kilometer-scale diameter.

It is made entirely of gold.

Damn it!

Fang Jing simply couldn't imagine it.

If this kind of meteorite is indeed found in the asteroid belt.

How amazing that would be!

Standing in a square made of gold, that's probably what it feels like!

……

What Mr. Zhu said is true.

He had just finished speaking in the morning, and the news was released in the afternoon.

The Kunming warship will carry scientific research personnel to land on Mars!

And this great Eastern power will become the first country to land on Mars!

Why am I so unmoved by the title "the first country to land on Mars"?

"The uncrowned king already has a space escort ship. Whether or not he boards the warship is just a matter of a word?"

"I'm looking forward to it, but it doesn't seem like I'm that excited."

"Hey, you three calm guys, did you even read the report carefully? The focus isn't on landing on Mars, it's on the experimental project!"

"That's right, there are experimental projects, such as using Martian carbon dioxide to artificially synthesize starch and fat, and the equipment used is industrial!"

"Upstairs, what's the point of explaining?"

"Idiot, what are the products of photosynthesis? Starch and oxygen!"

"Damn it, I gave it all back to the teacher! Oxygen and starch!!!"

"Artificial photosynthesis relies on sunlight, which can be simulated with electricity. Mars is entirely composed of carbon dioxide and also contains water. If the experiment is successful, Mars will become our bridgehead. Through it, our fleet and mining teams can radiate outwards to half of the solar system!"

The industrialization of artificial photosynthesis.

It can be said to be a great invention second only to controlled nuclear fusion.

It made Mars a true bridgehead for the great Eastern power to reach the universe!

Earth's location is uniquely advantageous.

It wasn't just on there that life and civilization arose.

More importantly, it has a helium-3-rich satellite, and the moon could serve as a fuel hub for the space age.

Helium-3 is generally preferred for long-distance travel because the combustion efficiency of re-fusion is very low.

Mars, this planet, can become a bridgehead for human expansion due to the industrialization of artificial photosynthesis technology!

Outwards lies the asteroid belt.

Further out, there's Jupiter, the giant, a massive energy reservoir!

A vast energy treasure trove where liquid hydrogen makes up 70%, including its satellites—it's all a treasure trove!

Think about it this way.

Wow.

Human members,

Whoever gains control of Mars will gain control of the solar system!

After understanding the significance of this experiment, many netizens were speechless with shock in the comments section.

Then they realized what was going on.

"Wow! I hereby unilaterally declare victory for the great Eastern power!"

"The age of human space exploration is about to become the age of Chinese space exploration."

"Next target, Mars!!!"

"We are going to turn Mars into our outpost!"

"Found some Martian family members, found some solar system family members, nobody wants them, hey, nobody's going to steal them either!"

"Hey upstairs, who can beat you guys?!" (doge emoji)

"..."

It's just about landing on Mars.

People who know about the existence of space frigates don't think it's anything particularly amazing.

You might feel proud, but not overly excited.

But when you see the experimental projects on Mars...

Wow.

This time, the whole world is on edge.

Foreign space enthusiasts, in particular, were dumbfounded.

Damn it, are we even a civilization anymore?

The neighbors next door are already planning a Mars base.

They haven't even figured out controlled nuclear fusion yet!

The great Eastern power has already begun to claim territory in the solar system!

They don't even have the ability to claim land.

They could only watch helplessly.

Holding a cornbread in my hand, my heart ached with bitterness.
