Interstellar Industrial Age

In the outer space of Mars, the 'Kwafu' spacecraft is flying slowly around Mars. Scientists are very busy, using various scientific instruments to start a comprehensive investigation of Mars.

The northern hemisphere of Mars is very flat, an endless plain with a very large area.

An antigravity spacecraft swoops down from the sky, getting slower and slower as it gets closer to the surface of Mars.

Soon, the spacecraft landed very smoothly on the surface of Mars. 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.

This unmanned Mars rover is like a curious baby. It began to search continuously on the red surface of Mars. Take a look here, take a look here, dig a little dirt here, and knock a stone here. Sometimes it is also used on the Mars rover. The drill bit keeps drilling into the ground, digging deeper soil and rocks.

Samples were collected continuously, 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 spaceship landed here, and a Mars rover also came out of it. It kept hitting the ice cubes here, collecting the ice cubes, and at the same time, it kept drilling holes to collect samples from deep layers, trying to find liquid water.

Anti-gravity spacecraft landed in various areas of Mars, and samples were collected continuously. The spacecraft that collected the samples also flew into the sky, returned to space, and transported the collected samples to Kuafu. No.' spaceship above.

On the 'Kwafu' spacecraft, scientists have long been unable to wait. There are various advanced scientific instruments on the spacecraft, which are enough to analyze the collected samples, and also to do the next manned landing. Prepare.

"This Mars is really barren. Judging from the information collected from various regions of Mars, the resources contained on Mars are not even as good as those of the moon."

Long Zhankong handed an analysis report to Huang Zhibin. This data was obtained by scientists after analyzing the samples collected from various regions of Mars. Compared with continuing exploration in space, it is much more accurate.

The main element of Martian soil is oxygen, which accounts for about 50%, silicon is 15-30%, iron is 15-16%, aluminum is 2-7%, calcium is 3-8% and a small amount of potassium, phosphorus and sulfur , chlorine, tantalum, chromium, magnesium, cobalt, nickel, copper, etc.

The content of sulfur (2.6-3.1%) is 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than the average content of the earth's crust, and the content of potassium is lower than 0.25%. Rubidium, strontium, yttrium, and zirconium are found in much lower amounts than most terrestrial igneous rocks.

The chemical composition of Martian soil is characterized by high iron, moderate magnesium, calcium and sulfur, and low aluminum. Its chemical composition does not represent the composition of the original rock. It is probably the product of various chemical and weathering effects of mafic igneous rocks. .

According to the calculation of the mineral composition, the Martian soil is a mixture of 80% iron-rich clay, about 10% magnesium sulfate, about 5% carbonate and about 5% iron oxide, and the mineral composition of this mixture is equivalent to 59.1% of nontronite, 21.7% montmorillonite, 11.8% bischite, 1% halite, about 0.5% and 5.9% calcite.

"It's really barren, there are not even any scarce resources, and there are still a lot of He3 on the moon!" Huang Zhibin looked at the data from the beginning to the end, and they were all very common elements, and there was nothing worthy of attention at all.

"So the moon is the gift of the universe to mankind!" Someone on the side also said with a smile.

"However, these are the soil data on the surface of Mars. The branch that really wants to find out the minerals on Mars still needs to dig in depth. Get ready, and arrange people to log in to Mars tomorrow to dig some deeper soil and rocks."

"I don't believe it anymore, what a big planet,

How could there be no precious resources. "

Long Zhankong thought about it and said that although the mass of Mars is much smaller than that of Earth, it is still a planet, and a dead camel is bigger than a horse.

On the other side, Li Jingxuan and Liu Daoming are also testing the samples collected in the biological laboratory on the 'Kuafu' spacecraft, looking for something special.

"No. A0230 sample, there is no discovery. Is it because the samples collected in this batch are all surface samples, so far there is no discovery."

Li Jingxuan just finished testing a sample, and said a little discouraged.

He and Liu Daoming have not found traces of life on Mars until now.

"Haha~ I found it, I found it~"

At this moment, Liu Daoming on the side suddenly burst out laughing happily, and the whole person seemed very excited and danced.

"found it?"

As soon as Li Jingxuan heard this, his whole body was shaken, and he immediately floated to Liu Daoming's side.

"I found, amino acids, amino acids that are unique to only living things."

Liu Daoming nodded excitedly and said, "Hurry up and test the samples collected from the glaciers in the north and south poles of Mars. I estimate that there are definitely creatures under the glaciers at the north and south poles of Mars."

"Amino acids?"

When Li Jingxuan heard it, he was immediately excited. He clearly knew 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 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 huge, and human beings are definitely not the only higher creatures. Civilization definitely exists.

This will completely change human's understanding of the universe, life, and the origin of species, which means that life should exist widely in the universe, and the earth is definitely not unique.

"This is definitely the most significant discovery of this century!"

The news was soon sent back to the earth through quantum communication, and the scientists of the Galaxy Science Research Institute screamed excitedly as if they had been beaten with blood.

"How amazing is life, and the universe is so vast!"

Qin Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw the excited scientists around him.

Qin Yi knows that life generally exists in every corner of the universe. The earth is definitely not a unique planet of life in the universe. Of course, it does not mean that a planet of life like the earth is not precious. On the contrary, although there are many life in the universe, it is like A top-level life planet like Earth is still a very precious resource, and it is something that every major civilization must contend for.

The ecology of the earth, which has been reproduced for hundreds of millions of years, is very precious. It has countless species. It is like an oasis in the vast cosmic desert, an oasis of life, which breeds countless lives, and more importantly, can breed a race with wisdom.

The value of a top life planet like Earth is immeasurable.

You must know that the universe is very large, and all kinds of resources are extremely abundant. For example, the reserves of gold on the earth are very small, but in the universe, the reserves are very large. There are many asteroids in the asteroid belt that contain a large amount of gold. gold.

Metal elements such as iron, copper, gold, silver, etc. are very common in the universe, and there are many, but there are not many life planets like the earth, each of which is a pearl in the universe, a powerful The precious wealth that civilizations contend for.

Thinking of everything he saw in the science and technology tower, Qin Yi also wished he could go to 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 on Mars samples spread throughout the Kuafu spacecraft, the scientists became excited one by one.

"Captain, we're going to the north and south poles of Mars to mine deeper samples."

"The discovery of extraterrestrial life, this is the most important discovery of this century, and it has refreshed our understanding of life and the universe. I can't wait to see what life is like under the glaciers in the north and south of Mars. already."

Liu Daoming found Wu Renjie, the captain of the Kuafu spacecraft, and shouted that he was going to Mars now to collect more and deeper samples.

"Don't worry, I'm afraid there is no way to land on Mars today. The hurricanes on Mars are too strong. At present, we don't know enough about hurricanes on Mars. In the event of an emergency, landing on Mars will be very dangerous. Let's observe first. Next time."

Wu Renjie shook his head. He is the captain. Although he can understand the excitement of the scientists at this time, he should think about everyone's safety.

Hurricanes on Mars are very common, and now there seems to be no regularity at all. It is easy to encounter hurricanes when landing on Mars. These hurricanes are more than 21, which are enough to roll people into the sky, and things can easily happen.

"What hurricanes are we afraid of? Don't we have satellites in space?"

"Once a hurricane is about to form, can you just notify us immediately?"

"Every time there is a typhoon on Earth, we can warn in advance, isn't it possible on Mars?"

Li Jingxuan said nonchalantly, it's not a hurricane, there are more than ten typhoons blowing on the earth every year, and an early warning can be issued every time.

"Although we can detect the hurricane on Mars, it is formed very fast, it is not like the typhoon on our earth at all, we know too little about Mars, it is very unsafe, or wait, my side You can send unmanned spacecraft down first to drill deeper areas and collect more samples, the same thing.”

Wu Renjie said bitterly that these scientists are the boss's darlings, and there is absolutely no chance of an accident.
