According to the British Daily Telegraph website reported on April 13, this unprecedented outer space life cultivation plan is the most interesting part of China's lunar exploration mission later this year, which is expected to accelerate the realization of human dream of living on the moon one day.

It is reported that insects, plants, potato seeds and Arabidopsis thaliana, a small flowering plant in Cruciferae, will go to the moon by Chang 'e-4 probe from June 5438 to February this year.

Together with water, nutrient solution, miniature camera and information transmission system, they will be placed in a tank made of special aluminum alloy with a height of 18 cm.

A small tube introduces natural light into the pot to help these plants and potato seeds grow. Although the invisible back of the moon is vividly called the "dark side", the sun shines almost equally on the back and front of the moon.

In the next stage of microbial circle, plants will produce oxygen for silkworms to "consume".

Scientists in China say that silkworms produce carbon dioxide and feces needed for plant growth. Liu Hanlong, the chief commander of the experiment and vice president of Chongqing University, told Xinhua that this experiment will accumulate knowledge for human beings to establish bases on the moon and live there for a long time. Xie Gengxin, the chief designer of the experimental project, said: "We must keep the temperature in the' microbial circle' between 1 and 30 degrees Celsius, and control the humidity and nutrients. We will use a catheter to guide the natural light from the surface of the moon into the jar to make plants grow. I think this is a guess, which will come true in the near future, and it also depends on everyone's efforts.
