He is a little hungry now.

Fill your stomach first and then think about how to survive?

Roddy stood up as soon as he said it. The pain in his leg and the blood loss made Roddy’s eyes go dark. It took him a long time to drag his sick leg to the restaurant.

“General Tso’s chicken… damn, mapo tofu… damn, sea cucumber with scallions, this is just okay.”

After Roddy finished complaining about the scallion-fried sea cucumber, which wasn’t bad but was far from delicious, he made himself a cup of coffee to wake himself up.

Only then did he sit down again and start thinking about how to survive.

“Maybe I can try to see if I can evolve to the point where I can survive without oxygen or low oxygen?”

“I am your immortal, NASA!”

Chapter 284 Newcomers! The beginning of the era of Mars colonization

General Tso’s chicken was not good at all.

What? Wasn’t Roddy eating scallion-fried sea cucumber?

That’s the problem.

Roddy’s strong body recovery ability does not mean that there is no damage. He needs a lot of nutritional supplements to maintain rapid healing of his wounds.

After eating a portion of scallion-fried sea cucumber, Roddy was still hungry enough to eat a cow.

I ordered myself another serving of General Tso’s Chicken since there was plenty of food anyway.

Even though he was left alone on Mars, it was not without benefits.

NASA originally planned to send seven people to stay at this base for thirty days. Since a day on Mars is almost the same as a day on Earth, with only less than forty minutes longer, it was counted as thirty-one days.

A double food ration was prepared, which was enough for sixty-two days.

After eating and drinking, Roddy dragged his sick leg to check and found out.

Considering that the mission has been going on for a week, after deducting the food loss, there are still 55 days of food rations left. Moreover, NASA’s food rations are nutritionally balanced and the portions are not small. One portion is enough to supplement the daily nutritional needs of an adult man.

It should be noted that he is now alone and enjoying the rations for seven people.

So it can still last for another 385 days.

By the way, when they evacuated today, they had not had dinner yet. If they had eaten two meals a day, they could have survived for three and a half more days.

That is three hundred and eighty-eight days.

If he only eats two meals a day from now on, he can last 577 and a half days. With these three and a half days, it is 581 days, nearly two years. If he is more demanding and eats one and a half meals a day or alternates between one and two meals, he can last even longer.

After all, the portion is large enough. Although the feeling of fullness may not be strong, it is completely enough to sustain life.

So, the good news is that he won’t starve to death for the time being.

…

But the bad news kept coming.

Without satellite communications, Roddy could not contact the Hermes.

If he still couldn’t contact the Hermes after three years, he would starve to death.

And this isn’t the only bad news.

Water resource circulation, service life of the habitat, service life of the space suit, service life of the carbon dioxide converter, that is, the oxygen synthesis machine, etc.

One problem after another came.

Can the oxygen synthesis machine last more than ten or even dozens of times longer than the originally planned mission time?

Will there be any problem with water recycling, and will people die of thirst?

The most important thing is the carbon dioxide absorber on the space suit. This is a consumable item and will be scrapped after use. Although Roddy still has enough on hand, he has to use it sparingly.

In short, if something goes wrong in one place, Roddy will die.

When you think about it this way, food isn’t really a problem.

If the storm gets stronger tonight, a piece of sharp rock might be blown in and break the habitat.

It’s like a needle puncturing a balloon.

“Peng!”

He just hung up, that’s really interesting.

…

“This is really… a great start, brother.”

Sitting in the chair, Roddy kept scratching his head.

The more you calculate, the more desperate you become.

Coupled with the pain in his thigh, and the waves of hunger relief from his stomach and intestines digesting food quickly and replenishing nutrition, Rody’s teeth started to click.

Roddy picked up the draft book in front of him and looked at it from left to right and vertically, and only saw the big word “death” on it.

But just give up like that?

No, Roddy refused to give in.

He finally traveled through time and space and had a bright future, a stunningly handsome face, and a noble job.

He was unwilling to die like this.

So we have to try our best.

rustle..

Thinking of this, Roddy picked up the pen that he had thrown on the ground and scribbled on the paper in front of him.

He needs to find out two key points at this stage.

After a long time.

In the newly opened notebook, Roddy wrote down two elements: “stay alive and communicate.”

The meaning of living is not to give yourself firm beliefs.

But the three elements of survival: air, water and food.

Roddy couldn’t change the air and water sources, so he could only try to check them every day and maintain them carefully to ensure that no problems occurred.

Roddy picked up his pen and divided the word “alive” into three columns, writing down the plan: daily maintenance.

As for food…

Roddy scratched his head with the end of his pen.

He dropped his pen and turned to look through the current supplies.

He wants to take out all the edible things that can supplement nutrition, protein, vitamins, minerals and other reserves.

Walk out of the living area and go straight to the resource area.

As the base that carries mankind’s hope for exploring the universe and the foundation for astronauts to settle down, the habitat where he is located carries thousands of years of mankind’s wisdom and highest technology.

The structure is stable and lightweight, integrating many requirements such as thermal insulation, firmness, and sealing.

It is divided into living area, resource area and mechanical equipment area.

The total area is about 400 square meters.

Roddy was very familiar with this place because he and his companions had built the habitat bit by bit.

After searching through all the boxes and cabinets.

Roddy was surprised to find that NASA had also prepared something good for them, morphine.

Although this thing can effectively relieve pain and provide anesthesia, it is highly addictive and dependent like drugs.

Of course Roddy didn’t want to be a drug addict. If the dose of this stuff was large, it would be fatal, just like those drug addicts who took ecstasy and died instantly.

But it was painless and I moaned in excitement.

If Roddy is really at his wit’s end, he can use this thing to commit suicide, at least without pain.

And now.

Roddy first gave himself an injection in the thigh. He almost died of pain. Even though he was a ruthless person, it didn’t mean that he didn’t feel pain.

After the pain in his thigh eased, Roddy breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look through the books.

There are ten bottles of multivitamins, probably provided by the United States, so they have inherited the American model of being obsessed with taking medicine. One bottle contains 500 pills, and there is even a large bottle of painkillers.

Many people eat this stuff as a meal, and they cough it up whenever they have nothing to do.

Although Roddy suspected that NASA was using taxpayers’ money to send so much, it is good news that there is no problem with vitamin supplementation.

There was also a can of glucose powder, a large five-liter bottle, and a large amount of crop seeds that Mark Watney had previously used for planting experiments.

Roddy rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought while facing a pile of seeds.

Could he farm on Mars?

Maybe it’s a gene ingrained in our genes.

As the saying goes, store up food and slowly become king. Roddy is somewhat obsessed with farming.

There is even an item on my bucket list in this life: to buy a piece of land and become a leisurely farmer.

But the problem is, he has never touched a hoe.

Roddy is not an agriculturist like Watney, he is a handicraft master.

As for farming…Rody has never farmed in his previous life or in this life.

Therefore, even if the thought of relying on farming to supplement food flashed through my mind, I might have thought about it.

But a good cook cannot cook without rice, and Roddy felt that he still needed to plan carefully.

He just happened to remember that other teammates had brought a lot of personal products, and it would be great if he could find some kind of farming encyclopedia.

After determining the reserves, they are then classified one by one.

Roddy stood in the deserted hall for a while, then decided to go back to sleep.
