processing and build, as all materials, those too rise concerns, mainly relating to low mechanic rigidity. This paper serves as a study of modifications aiming at the reinforcement of the reliability of a fungal/bacterial composite as a structural material. On-site-produced polymers made from bacteria-produced hydrocarbons and their derivatives are likely to increase cohesion, while compression endurance could be achieved by the incorporation of native regolith as a scaffold for microbiological growth - included minerals allow microbial synthesis of complex compounds, serving further functions such as enabling biomineralisation or decreasing fracture vulnerability in combination with the organic fraction. The use of the recombinant expression in fungi and bacteria of elongated and branched morphology may lead to higher elasticity, as titin, CLPs (collagen-like proteins) and other fibrous proteins could be produced. Other complex biominerals could in turn provide greater stiffness and an additional increase in cohesion. Furthermore, bacterial cellulose production and biofilm-forming qualities of used bacteria such as the presence of pili and flagella could yield better mechanic rigidity. Additional reinforcement might be provided by fungal hyphae aerogel made from elastic and cohesive species, and genetic modification of the fungus.
Raw materials produced and able to be exported include, but are not limited in possibilities to, structural building materials, steel, glass, and plastics. In addition, structures have been fabricated using innovative 3D printing techniques and other advanced fabrication technologies. Only a minimum amount of key components are required to be imported from Earth to create the city state, and it will provide many useful exports back to Earth such as science results and intellectual property, which can be physically produced and sold on Earth to help continue funding the efforts.
Finally, multimedia entertainment content will be produced and sent back to Earth to bolster public support of the city state, as well as landmasses of Mars will be approved and considered for interplanetary tourism purposes.
