Chapter 7 Planting Chamber

Chen Ming only took a look at the equipment in the planting cabin when he first boarded the ship.

Because Chen Ming was looking for food at the time, he didn't pay much attention to it after he found the planting cabin empty.

So Chen Ming didn't know what the equipment in the planting cabin was used for and how it worked.

So Chen Ming's thoughts returned to the previous question, how to use the planting cabin.

In this way, when he landed on the planet later, he could have a faster and more correct plan.

Chen Ming clicked on the [Planting Cabin] column on the cabin on the panel.

The three-dimensional image of the entire planting cabin suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chen Ming looked at the extremely fine image in amazement, and then looked at the panel that appeared with the three-dimensional image.

[Planting Chamber]

[Space: 5*5*5]

[Fixed equipment: hydroponic chamber (stopped), nutrient solution extractor (stopped),]

[Detachable equipment: solar lamp (stopped), advanced plant analyzer (stopped), agricultural machinery components (stopped)]

[Object: 500ml crop nutrient solution*2]

Chen Ming thought about it and got up and went to the planting chamber.

Some things are hard to understand just by looking at the panel, and it is better to see them with your own eyes.

This time, Chen Ming entered the planting chamber and took a special look at the overall layout, which was exactly the same as the three-dimensional imaging presented on the panel.

That is, after Chen Ming entered the chamber, his appearance was not displayed on it.

But this is not an important matter.

Chen Ming looked around the entire chamber and looked at the device that occupied the largest area in the entire chamber, almost half of the space.

At the same time, he clicked the name of the device displayed on the panel, [Hydroponic Chamber].

[Hydroponics Warehouse]

[Already planted: None]

[Remaining planting space: 100%]

[Nutrient solution reserve: 0ml]

[Current maintenance environment: None]

The appearance of the hydroponic warehouse looks very simple. It is a device used to isolate the surrounding environment of the crop planting environment.

According to the panel and the introduction of all the functions of the spacecraft in the "Spacecraft Operation Manual" found by Chen Ming from the spacecraft computer, it can be seen that the hydroponic warehouse has the function of maintaining the most basic environment required for crop growth.

It is large in size, but the function is simple.

However, it also has a special feature, that is, it can use nutrient solution to cultivate crops without soil.

The efficiency of planting and the utilization rate of unit planting area, as well as the utilization rate of spacecraft space are very high

And this function needs to be matched with the matching equipment [Nutrient Solution Extractor] to perform.

The nutrient solution extractor is right next to the hydroponic warehouse, and the whole looks like a juicer.

The upper layer is an opening, which can be filled with various items.

The middle layer is a transparent tank with various sophisticated and complex devices inside.

The lower level is a small storage space, which contains the two 500ml nutrient solution bottles displayed on the panel.

Chen Ming opened its panel.

[Nutrient Solution Extractor]

[Raw Materials: Empty]

[Finished Product: None]

[Internal Storage: 500ml Crop Nutrient Solution * 2]

Three items correspond to the three parts.

Chen Ming also understood the meaning of the [Object] on the cabin panel at this time, which should refer to all items in the entire room that are not equipment.

As long as they are placed in this cabin, they will be detected by the panel.

These two bottles of nutrient solution should be 30 years old, and I don’t know if they have expired.

Chen Ming estimated that they should not have expired, otherwise its name might not be nutrient solution, but water or some other suspension.

Then there is the raw material of this nutrient solution extractor, which Chen Ming also saw in the spacecraft operation manual.

Anything with nutrients for crop production can serve as raw materials.

For example, the body of the insect and insect eggs in the cold storage.

However, when Chen Ming saw the range of raw materials available, the first thing he thought of was soil.

Although he didn't have it on hand for the time being, it was obvious that soil was definitely the most indispensable thing on the planet below.

Chen Ming would choose crops to plant from this planet, so it would be perfect to use the soil on the planet to extract nutrient solution.

Chen Ming had a general understanding of the two fixed devices.

As for the other three detachable devices.

The solar lamp can be used to provide sunlight for crops planted in the hydroponic tank.

The agricultural machinery component is an auxiliary device installed on the hydroponic tank. According to its internal program settings, it takes care of the crops inside, which is very worry-free.

As for the advanced plant analyzer.

Its data chip records most of the plants that humans have discovered, which can help Chen Ming distinguish whether the various plants found on the planet later are edible.

Even if new plants other than those recorded in the database are found, the analyzer can still analyze the samples to determine whether they are toxic and whether they are edible for humans.

The function of this thing determines whether it is the key to whether Chen Ming can survive in the future.

Chen Ming understands the planting process of the planting cabin, so the subsequent planning is very simple,

Land on the planet, find food, analyze, take off after getting enough seeds and food, leave here, and return to the human world.

It looks simple, but in fact, even the first step has not started yet, and it is just planning now.

Before officially starting the first step, landing on the planet, Chen Ming needs to repair the damaged landing module of the spacecraft.

Then a very realistic problem was placed in front of Chen Ming again.

The materials on the spacecraft are not enough.

So Chen Ming chose to continue to enter the work cabin.

This spacecraft named Iron Ore is a mining spacecraft.

The location of the spacecraft is an asteroid ring with extremely rich mineral materials.

How can I be suffocated by the problem of materials.

After entering the work cabin, Chen Ming also opened the panel of the work cabin.

[Working cabin]

[Space: 5*5*5]

[Fixed equipment: Asteroid scanning detector (out of service), ship smelting furnace (out of service)]

[Detachable equipment: Type II mining laser transmitter (out of service), asteroid traction equipment (out of service)]

[Object: None]

The functions of these devices on the panel are all written on the names, so Chen Ming does not need to study them too much.

Just start using the entire set of equipment according to the usage process stored in the database of the spacecraft computer.

The entire process of scanning, traction, mining, and smelting can be controlled by the computer.

But when Chen Ming tried to start the asteroid scanning detector, he found a problem.

There are very few asteroids near the mining space station.

Either they were cleaned up when the space station was built many years ago, or they were mined when the space station was opened.

If Chen Ming wants to find an asteroid containing a large amount of materials needed to repair the landing module, then he must leave the space station and go farther.

But Chen Ming does not want to lose the coordinates of the space station.

So he had to wait for the planet below to rotate in orbit for a day, confirm the planet's rotation and revolution trajectory, and lock the relative position of the space station close to him before leaving.

Chen Ming remembered that the rotation period of the planet below seemed to be similar to that of the earth.

He could wait for a day.

And it didn't mean that the spacecraft could do nothing near the mining space station during this period.

It's not that there are no asteroids near the space station, but the number is relatively small and the distribution is relatively scattered.

He has no experience in using mining equipment, so he can take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the equipment.

Try to collect some minerals from asteroids nearby that are not so valuable.
