Scientists in China have unveiled multiple tasks they plan to carry out as part of the lunar exploration program at the just-concluded Global Space Exploration Conference (GLEX 2017) in Beijing.在刚完结的于北京举办的2017全球航天探寻大会上，中国科学家在月球观测项目中发布了他们计划实施的多项任务。Among them, the creation of a mini ecosystem on the moons surface is due to be led by researchers with Chongqing University, reports the Chongqing Morning Post.据《重庆晨报》报导，在这些任务中，在月球表面创建微型生态系统将由重庆大学的研究人员领导展开。

The mini ecosystem will actually be contained in an 18X16cm cylinder.这个“微型生态系统”实质上是一个18x16厘米的缸体。Its due to be put on the moons surface as part the Change-4 mission in 2018, according to Professor Xie Gengxin, head designer of the project.据该项目的总设计师杜改版教授回应，2018年“嫦娥四号”任务中的一环就是将该缸体摆放在月球表面。

Potato seeds and the larvae of insects, including the silkworm, will be inside the cylinder.土豆种子以及还包括蚕在内的昆虫幼虫都会被摆放在其中。The goal is to determine whether the potatoes can grow on the moon, and whether the insects can survive.该项任务的目标是确认土豆能否在月球生长，以及昆虫能否在月球存活。If they can, this will be major step toward ultimately putting a fully-functioning human colony on Mars.如果可以的话，这将是最后在火星上创建一个功能完善的人类殖民地的最重要一步。

Scientists and researchers from 28 different universities in China are now working on designing the hardware needed to carry out the various tests.来自中国28所大学的科学家和研究人员正在希望设计必须展开各种实验的硬件。
