In the outer space of Mars, the Kuafu spacecraft is flying slowly around Mars. Scientists are very busy, using various scientific instruments to begin a comprehensive investigation of Mars.
The northern hemisphere of Mars is very flat, an endless plain with a very large area.
An anti-gravity spacecraft swooped down from the sky. As it got closer and closer to the surface of Mars, its speed became slower and slower.
Soon, the spacecraft landed on the surface of Mars very smoothly. With the sound of machinery, the hatch at the rear of the spacecraft slowly opened, and an unmanned Mars rover slowly drove from the warehouse of the spacecraft.
come out.
Like a curious baby, this unmanned Mars rover began to search continuously on the red surface of Mars. Look here and there, dig a little soil here, knock a stone somewhere, and sometimes use the rover's
The drill bit continues to drill into the ground, digging deeper into the soil and rocks.
Samples were collected one after another, and soon the engineering vehicle returned to the spacecraft. After collecting the samples in this area, the spacecraft took off again and flew towards the next area.
The North Pole of Mars is a vast white world.
A spacecraft landed here, and a Mars rover also came out, constantly beating the ice here to collect the ice, and at the same time drilling holes to collect samples from the deep layers, hoping to find liquid water.
Anti-gravity spacecraft landed in various areas of Mars one after another, and samples were collected one after another. The spacecraft that collected the samples also soared into the sky, returned to space, and transported the collected samples to Kuafu
On top of the spaceship.
Scientists on the Kuafu spacecraft have been impatient for a long time. There are various advanced scientific instruments on the spacecraft, which are enough to analyze the collected samples. In addition, they must prepare for the subsequent manned landing.
Prepare.
"Mars is really barren enough. Judging from the information collected from various areas of Mars, the resources contained on Mars are even worse than those of the moon."
Long Zhankong handed an analysis report to Huang Zhibin. This data was obtained by scientists after analyzing samples collected from various areas of Mars. It is much more accurate than continuing to detect in space.
The main element of Martian soil is oxygen, which accounts for about 50%, silicon is 15 to 30%, iron is 15 to 16%, aluminum is 2 to 7%, calcium is 3 to 8%, and a small amount of potassium, phosphorus, and sulfur.
, chlorine, tantalum, chromium, magnesium, cobalt, nickel, copper, etc.
The sulfur content (2.6-3.1%) is 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than the average content of the earth's crust, and the potassium content is less than 0.25%. The content of rubidium, strontium, yttrium and zirconium is much lower than that of most terrestrial igneous rocks.
The chemical composition of Martian soil is characterized by high iron, medium magnesium, calcium and sulfur and low aluminum. Its chemical composition does not represent the composition of the original rock. It is likely to be the product of various chemical and weathering processes in mafic igneous rocks.
.
According to the calculation of mineral composition, Martian soil is a mixture composed of 80% iron-rich clay, about 10% magnesium sulfate, about 5% carbonate and about 5% iron oxide. The mineral composition of this mixture is equivalent to 59.1%
Nontronite, 21.7% montmorillonite, 11.8% brucite, 1% halite, about 0.5% tio2 and 5.9% calcite.
"It's really barren. There are not even any scarce resources. There are still a lot of He3 on the moon!" Huang Zhibin read the data from beginning to end. They were all very common elements, and there was nothing worthy of attention at all.
"So the moon is a gift from the universe to mankind!" Someone on the side also smiled and said.
"However, these are soil data on the surface of Mars. To truly discover the minerals of Mars, we still need to dig deeper. We are ready to arrange for people to land on Mars tomorrow to dig out some deeper soil and bring up rocks."
"I don't believe it. How can such a big planet not have precious resources?"
Long Zhankong thought for a while and said, although the mass of Mars is much smaller than that of the Earth, it is still a planet, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
On the other side, in the biological laboratory on the Kuafu spacecraft, Li Jingxuan and Liu Daoming were also conducting tests on the samples collected from it, trying to find something special.
"Nothing has been found in sample a0230. Is it because the samples collected in this batch are all surface samples? No findings have been found yet."
Li Jingxuan had just finished testing a sample and said a little discouraged.
He and Liu Daoming have still not found traces of life on Mars until now.
"Haha~ Found it, found it~"
At this moment, Liu Daoming on the side suddenly laughed happily, and he looked very excited and danced.
"Found it?"
When Li Jingxuan heard this, his whole body was excited and he immediately floated to Liu Daoming's side.
"We found it, amino acids, amino acids unique to living things only."
Liu Daoming nodded excitedly and said: "Hurry up and test the samples collected from the glaciers at the South and North Pole of Mars. I estimate that there are definitely living things under the glaciers at the South and North Pole of Mars."
"Amino acids?"
When Li Jingxuan heard this, he immediately became excited. He knew clearly that there was only one source of amino acids, and that was microorganisms. The discovery of amino acids meant that there were microorganisms on Mars, which also meant that there was extraterrestrial life.
If extraterrestrial life can be found on Mars, it means that life is not limited to the earth, but exists widely in the universe. The universe is so vast that humans are definitely not the only advanced creatures, aliens, and extraterrestrials.
Civilization definitely exists.
This will completely change mankind's understanding of the universe, life, and the origin of species. This means that life should be widespread in the universe, and the earth is definitely not unique.
"This is definitely the most important discovery of this century!"
The news was quickly sent back to Earth via quantum communication, and every one of the scientists at the Galaxy Research Institute screamed with excitement as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
"How magical life is, and the universe is full of wonders!"
Qin Yi looked at the excitement of the scientists around him and couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Yi knows that life exists in every corner of the universe. The earth is definitely not the only life planet in the universe. Of course, it does not mean that a life planet like the earth is not precious. On the contrary, although there are many lives in the universe, things like
A top-level living planet like the Earth is still a very precious resource and is something that all major civilizations must compete for.
The ecology of the earth that has been reproduced for countless millions of years is very precious. It has countless species. It is like an oasis in the vast desert of the universe. An oasis of life, it breeds countless lives, and more importantly, it can breed intelligent races.
The value of a top-level living planet like the Earth is inestimable.
You must know that the universe is very big and is extremely rich in various resources. For example, the reserve of gold on the earth is very small, but in the universe, the reserve is very large. There are many asteroids in the asteroid belt that contain a large amount of gold.
gold.
Iron, copper, gold, silver and other metal elements are very common in the universe, and there are many of them. However, there are not many living planets like the earth. Each one is a pearl in the universe, a powerful
A precious asset that civilizations compete for.
Thinking of everything he saw in the science and technology tower, Qin Yi also wished he could venture into the universe now, see different cosmic civilizations, and see all kinds of magical creatures.
At this time, on Mars, as the news of the discovery of amino acids in Martian samples spread throughout the Kuafu spacecraft, the scientists became extremely excited.
"Captain, we are going to the North and South Poles of Mars to mine deeper samples."
"The discovery of extraterrestrial life is the most significant discovery of this century. It has refreshed our human understanding of life and the universe. I can't wait to see what life is like under the northern and southern glaciers of Mars.
Already."
Liu Daoming found Wu Renjie, the captain of the Kuafu spacecraft, and said that he would go to Mars now to collect more and deeper samples.
"Don't worry, I'm afraid there's no way to land on Mars today. The hurricanes on Mars are too strong. At present, we don't know enough about the hurricanes on Mars. Once an emergency occurs, landing on Mars will be very dangerous. It's better to observe first.
Let’s talk about it later.”
Wu Renjie shook his head. He was the captain. Although he could understand the excitement of the scientists at this time, he should think more about everyone's safety.
Hurricanes on Mars are very common, and it seems that there is no regular pattern at all. It is easy to encounter hurricanes when landing on Mars. These hurricanes exceeding level 21 are enough to sweep people into the sky, and it is easy to cause trouble.
"What are you afraid of about hurricanes? Don't we have satellites in space?"
"Once a hurricane is about to form, wouldn't it be enough to notify us immediately?"
"Every time there is a typhoon on Earth, we can give early warning. Can't we do it on Mars?"
Li Jingxuan said nonchalantly, "It's not just a hurricane. There are more than ten typhoons on the earth every year, and warnings can be issued in advance every time."
"Although we can detect hurricanes on Mars, they form very quickly. They are not like typhoons on Earth at all. We know too little about Mars and it is very unsafe. Let's wait a moment.
You can send an unmanned spacecraft down first to drill deeper areas and collect more samples, the same thing."
Wu Renjie said earnestly that these scientists are the boss's darlings and nothing should happen to them.
