When Wei Xian gets up in the morning, the first thing he habitually does is to take a look at the surveillance video. In the experimental area, scientists have set up a lot of surveillance videos and various instruments to allow scientists to monitor the situation in space.
Able to grasp all conditions in the experimental area.
In the surveillance video, the touch of green came into view, and Wei Xian became excited. He quickly put on his space suit and took the spacecraft to the experimental area.
"Lichens, mosses, camel grass, Populus euphratica, camel thorns... are all plants from desert areas or cold zone areas."
As soon as he arrived at the test area, Wei Xian was shocked by the green world outside and couldn't help but pull out each plant to identify it.
At this time, the experimental area was no longer as desolate as Mars. Countless plants seemed to have sprung up overnight, gently stretching their delicate figures.
Facing the morning sunshine, Wei Xian looked around and saw patches of green world everywhere. The seeds sown a week ago had already broken out of the soil. Various plants formed a green world.
The world, some even have buds waiting to bloom.
"It's unbelievable, the power of life is too powerful!"
Looking at everything in front of him, Wei Xian couldn't help but marvel at these little lives.
Not only Wei Xian was shocked, but more and more people on the 'Hanwu Emperor' spaceship received the news. Spaceships continued to fall from the sky and came to this experimental area.
"The power of life is so great! I originally thought it would be good if a few of the seeds I planted could adapt to production. In just one week, this place turned into a green world."
Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan also came. They kept identifying the names of these plants and said excitedly.
"It's a miracle of life. It's unbelievable. The current environment of Mars is so different from that of Earth, but these plants can actually flourish on Mars."
Qin Yi also came, and he couldn't hide his surprise and excitement at this time. No one expected that just by increasing the spraying of water, so many plants could grow on Mars in just a week.
"Water is the source of life. The ancients never deceived me!"
Wei Xian sighed as he ran to his small private anti-gravity spacecraft and slowly drove the small anti-gravity spacecraft up. He wanted to watch this green world from the sky.
As the height slowly increased, Wei Xian's sight became wider and wider. Green clusters could be seen everywhere on the originally desolate land of Mars. These clusters were basically distributed in the water-spraying areas.
The area is full of life.
Wei Xian looked happy as he slowly drove the aircraft slowly. There was a green world everywhere. The closer to the middle of the area, the more luxuriant the green life was. Near the edge of the area, you could also see some.
green plants.
"Temperature, water!"
In an instant, Wei Xian grasped the key point.
"The more central the area, the higher the temperature and the smaller the temperature difference due to water vapor, the more luxuriant the plants will grow. On the edge of the area, there is water vapor, the temperature difference is large, and the night temperature is low, the growth of plants is relatively sparse. Outside the area,
, without any water, plants basically cannot grow.”
"Water can be increased through irrigation devices, and temperature can be increased through reflecting sun mirrors. Haha, it won't take long for Mars to turn into a green world."
Thinking of this, Wei Xian couldn't help laughing loudly!
…
As time goes by, more and more seeds begin to grow, and there are more and more varieties. Many plants that have already grown are even more lush.
A month later, the experimental area has been transformed into a green world. Some fast-growing and tall tree seeds have grown several meters high here. Even those grass plants can grow up to one meter high. There are all kinds of
The flowers are blooming heartily here on Mars.
"It seems that the environment on Mars is more suitable for the growth of these plants? Or are these plants mutated on Mars? Or is there something here on Mars that can promote those plants?"
Wei Xian used a sickle to cut down a few pieces of grass the size of shrubs, and prepared to take them back to the laboratory for analysis. At the same time, he kept thinking in his mind, why do the plants here grow so lushly?
"Is it because there is no competition here on Mars?"
"Or is it that the gravity of Mars is smaller than that of the Earth, or is it because the Martian atmosphere is thin and the light is stronger?"
Wei Xian kept thinking.
"The oxygen content is 5.3%. In just over a month, the oxygen content here has increased to 5.3%. If there is no diffusion of air, the oxygen content here will be even higher."
Wei Xian looked at the data in the oxygen tester and couldn't hide his joy. In one month, the oxygen content increased by 2.3 percentage points. If the entire Middle-earth continent was covered with green plants, just thinking about it would make people sad.
Very excited.
Soon, the Biological Research Center submitted an application to Qin Yi. They hoped to obtain more funds and resources to build irrigation facilities covering a wider area, so that the green
Cover a wider area and conduct deeper experiments.
It has now been proven that as long as there is a suitable temperature and water, plants can survive on Mars. It is not difficult to dress the entire Mars in green clothes, and it will not take too long.
Qin Yi has not signed and agreed to this plan for the time being.
Qin Yi also has his own considerations. There is no problem in conducting experiments now. It is only a small area. However, if it is to expand the scale or even promote it throughout Mars, now is obviously not the time.
Because the asteroids mined from the asteroid belt will arrive on Mars one after another, Mars will cause another impact again and again.
To expand the scale on a large scale, we can only start slowly after the transformation of Mars is completed. No matter how much we invest now, it may be destroyed by these impacts again and again.
What's more, the atmosphere of Mars is still relatively thin. After modification, it is only one-tenth the density of the Earth's atmosphere. It is still necessary to continue to add atmosphere to Mars. Only when everything has been modified is it suitable for large-scale deployment on Mars.
Carry out greening.
After the plan was rejected, Liu Daoming, Li Jingxuan, and Wei Xian were more depressed. They still had a lot of plans in their stomachs.
First, the entire Middle-earth continent of Mars is replaced with green clothes, and then the types of plants are increased to build a complete plant system.
Then we will try to move some insects, earthworms, ants, bees and other creatures from the earth to Mars to see if these creatures can survive on Mars.
If these creatures can also adapt to the Martian environment, the next step is to experiment with rabbits, cattle, mice and other animals to construct a complete biological system on Mars step by step.
Only after any system forms a complete system can it be a real system that can be maintained and operated for a long time.
Now there are only plants and microorganisms on Mars, and there are no animals, insects, earthworms, ants or the like at all, let alone animals that feed on grass. This is not a complete ecosystem, and it is still very fragile.
.
Biological scientists such as Liu Daoming, Li Jingxuan, and Wei Xian have already formulated a series of detailed plans. They thought that due to the success of the experimental area, the principal would quickly approve their plans.
Unexpectedly, it was rejected now, which made the three of them very depressed.
"Let's go, let's go to the Martian ocean first. On Mars, we can first put some simple shellfish and cavity creatures into the Martian ocean. If the conditions are right, we might be able to put some fish, shrimps and crabs first.
Go in like that."
Since the plan for the Martian land was temporarily put on hold, the three of them were not idle, and soon landed in the ocean area of Mars in an anti-gravity spacecraft.
"Look~ there is an area of ocean ahead that has turned green."
Sticking to the sea surface, the anti-gravity spacecraft kept flying, and soon the three of them made new discoveries.
In the blue ocean of Mars, there is an area that turns blue. This area is so large that it cannot be seen from space, but when you land on Mars and look over it from the air, you can see it at a glance.
"Could it be caused by an explosion of algae?"
Li Jingxuan thought for a while and said.
"It's very possible~"
Liu Daoming quickly arrived at this area in an anti-gravity spacecraft.
"Wow~ It's really an algae plant. It's growing too fast."
The three of them looked at the rippling algae in the sea below and couldn't help shouting. The samples were quickly collected. After a closer look, it turned out to be algae.
"This is supposed to be a mutated cyanobacteria. It has many similarities with cyanobacteria, but it is no longer cyanobacteria. This algae should have adapted to the Martian environment, so it began to multiply and grow explosively."
Wei Xian studied this brand-new algae plant carefully and quickly said with certainty.
Facts have proved that the power of life is very great. In just a few months, the cyanobacteria and microorganisms that were originally released into the ocean quickly adapted to the Martian environment, mutated, and began to grow explosively on a large scale.
stand up.
As if they had discovered a new continent, the three of them began to fly the spacecraft, and the private anti-gravity vehicle continued to search the oceans of Mars.
It was soon discovered that there were hundreds of new algae species that appeared due to cyanobacterial mutations, growing wildly in the Martian ocean like a big explosion of life.
