Chapter 2031 Atmosphere modification of Mars
"This is Mars."
Asuto Nobu looked at the dark red color of the round ship windows outside, his eyes full of surprise.
As mentioned earlier, Mars is storms that are raging all year round, and the wind speed is extremely fast. The 12-level typhoon on Earth can reach 30 meters per second, but the global storm on Mars can reach 180 to 90 meters per second.
The dust on the surface was blown up layer by layer in the storm that had been storm for years, exposing the minerals originally buried underground.
Among them, hematite deposits are the most, and hematite, which is iron oxide, not only its own color is iron red, but also reflects red light under the sunlight.
After the dust covering it was scraped away, these ores suffered a much stronger weathering effect than the earth. They scraped the hematite bit by bit like a knife, causing a large amount of brown-red iron oxide debris, which blew into the sky with the storm, spreading in the sky, further enhancing the red depth of Mars.
Therefore, at dawn and dusk, the sky on Mars will appear a different light blue color due to the refraction and reflection of sunlight, making it a unique landscape of Mars.
However, such beautiful scenery contains great crisis.
Because the air contains too many iron oxide debris with a diameter of ten microns, that is, one hundred thousandth of a meter, it collides and rubs against each other under the support of the storm speed, which will produce static electricity and even sparks. Once it enters the interior of the instrument and equipment, it will cause instrument failure and equipment damage.
From the beginning of the construction of Mars City to the present, there have been countless mechanical failures caused by metal debris, and even a transport ship almost crashed.
People live in such an environment with high or even high concentration of metal debris for a long time, which will cause extremely high damage to the lungs and even the entire respiratory system. This is also one of the purposes of Mars' atmospheric transformation, which is to slow down atmospheric movements, so that heavier metal debris settle down compared to the air, and then cooperate with the planting of plants on the ground to fix the sand and debris, and ultimately achieve the purpose of purifying the atmosphere.
"Yes, this is Mars, desolate and dry, with only mountains and Gobi Deserts. The surface water completely disappeared, and all the water resources were hidden deep underground." Chiba Makoto was also looking at Mars. Although it was still dark red, the earthy yellow color had become much lighter than before the atmospheric transformation began. Obviously, the atmospheric transformation was still effective.
On the screen in front of the seat, a comparison of Mars is shown, from the colors of Mars to the buildings on the surface, as well as the achievements of Mars builders over the years.
This is also a must-have image for every flight from Earth to Mars, allowing those visiting Mars to see the changes in Mars intuition and understand the hard work of Mars builders.
"It's really...it's not easy."
Asutoshi sighed from the bottom of his heart that compared with this, life on earth is simply too happy.
There are various beautiful scenery, and you can enjoy different foods from all over the world, as well as winding streams and endless seas.
As for Mars, in addition to mountains and soil, there are also sandstorms that shave from time to time.
Although the wages and job subsidies of Mars builders are extremely high, the problem is that Mars is still far from self-sufficient. Most of the food and demand must be transported from the earth a hundred million miles away, and the cost is not enough. Therefore, Mars currently implements a strict material allocation system, and no matter how rich he has, he cannot buy it.
There is no way to do this. If you let go of them all and buy them at will, it would be a terrible thing if you create a material crisis. Although the time required between Earth and Mars is much shorter, TPC has only been exploring the universe for a few years, and its wealth is quite thin.
The higher the technological content and the larger the volume, the longer the construction time, and the higher the maintenance cost. This is why during World War II, aircraft carriers could explode to hundreds and aircrafts could explode to tens of thousands, but now there is not much in the world.
The technological content of cosmic transport ships is not low at all, and the construction cycle is not short. Even if TPC uses smart devices, unmanned factories and other methods, the time is too short after all, so the number of intercosmic transport ships that can be put into use is not many.
Just a little transport ship not only needs to meet the needs of Mars, but also to go further away to provide TPC with interstellar bases and space stations in other planetary orbits.
The transport ships allocated to Mars are mainly responsible for the construction of Mars City, followed by people's material needs, and the transportation capacity is very tight. This is why even the excess weight of Director Shenjian's special plane is used to load materials. These materials are outside the plan and will be distributed as gifts from Director Shenjian, so that Mars builders can feel the warmth from the earth and the care of the leaders.
Therefore, people on Mars actually welcome leaders to visit and guide, because every time they come, they bring a lot of things to give everyone a little extravagance, and the level of happiness is almost the same as that of the Chinese New Year.
As we spoke, the transport ship had begun to slow down and land. Compared with the earth, the much thinner atmosphere made the friction with the air during the descent was not severe.
Soon, I saw the largest volcano in the solar system and the iconic Mount Olympus on Mars. The destination of this trip was the largest canyon in the solar system, the Sailor Canyon, which was 1,500 kilometers apart.
This distance seems to be very far away, but in fact it is a distance to each other.
Because the width of Mount Olympus is 600 kilometers, and it is 20,000 meters from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The Sailor Canyon is nearly 5,000 kilometers long, with the widest being more than 600 kilometers, and the depth exceeds 8,000 meters. Studies have shown that the cause of the Sailor Canyon is probably because of the uplift of Mount Olympus, which pulls the surrounding area, causing a large tear on the ground, thus forming the Sailor Canyon.
TPC's Mars City is built in a plain area of Sailor Canyon. After years of hard work and hard work, it has become a scale, and you can see silver-shining dome houses scattered on the ground in the sky.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! It is like a bowl, pressed upside down on the ground, connected by silver lines, occupying a large area. When the sun shines, the silver light shines, which is quite conspicuous.
However, this silver color is not paint, but solar panels, used as power supply to Mars City. There are several thick chimneys further away, slowly emitting black smoke. There is a steel mill built with great effort.
As mentioned earlier, there is a lot of hematite exposed on the surface of Mars, and the difficulty of excavation is simply too low. The construction of Mars City requires a large amount of steel. Therefore, before the construction of Mars City begins, a steel mill was built to utilize the hematite on Mars to reduce the transportation volume from the earth.
“Welcome to Mars Mariners Canyon Base and wish you a happy journey.”
Accompanied by the crisp and pleasant broadcast, the carrier's cabin door slowly opened, allowing Director Shenjian and his group to enter the fully sealed Sailor Canyon base along the connected valve.
Most of this base built on the abyss is located underground to increase sealing and better resist storms. Less than one-fifth of it is on the ground.
Among them, the atmospheric transformation system is deployed underground.
Chiba Makoto followed Director Shinmi and took the elevator and went down until he reached a vast hall.
I saw countless huge steel columns erected in the space of tens of thousands of square meters, supporting this huge space of twenty or thirty meters. There were a large number of instruments and equipment. The flashing indicator lights were as dense as stars in the sky. Staff wearing uniforms of different colors were shuttled back and forth between a large number of instruments and equipment.
Some are doing maintenance, some are recording data, and some are...
"Although a large number of intelligent and unmanned equipment are used, the importance of humans has not been reduced, but has become higher," said Staff Inoue, director of the Atmospheric Reform Engineering Management Committee, and along the way, he introduced the atmospheric transformation system to Director Fukakui, saying: "This is one of the halls for atmospheric transformation, with more than 50 atmospheric transformation instruments placed.
More than half of the space of the entire Mariner Canyon Base is used for Mars' atmospheric transformation. Currently, thousands of equipment are deployed, which can release hundreds of millions of tons of gas every year, affecting the tens of billions of tons of gas that Mars already has. According to the plan, the construction period of Mars' atmospheric transformation project is 350 years.
At this time next year, the first phase of the project will be completed and the 20-year phase of the project will be started, with the goal of giving Mars the conditions to grow specific plants."
Shenjian Director walked and watched while listening, nodded from time to time, or asked a question that was not painful, but came to inspect, not to find fault, so naturally he could not pour cold water on him, but encouraged everyone who worked hard, so that they could maintain their strong fighting spirit and continue to fight for a better tomorrow on Mars.
At the end of the visit, Director Shenjian stood in the middle and said affectionately to the Mars builders surrounding him: "The new domain plan is to expand human dreams and hopes towards this boundless universe and find a bright future for mankind.
This is the expectation of Director Sawaimae and the common aspiration of all mankind.
Human beings were born on Earth, but they will never stop on a small planet. Instead, they should look at the vast universe, travel, explore, and discover more unknowns.
Mars is the first step for mankind to move toward the starry sky, but it will never be the last step. You are the pioneers of mankind and the great founders.
The people will not forget you, the TPC will not forget you, and history will not forget you."
Slap sex-
The dense applause rang out, excited and enthusiastic.
The person who listened to the director's words was so excited that he was excited that he was flushed.
When Qianye saw many technicians clenched their fists, they looked extremely excited. They would probably be able to do it for three days without blinking.
Sure enough, the leaders' condolences and affirmation of the results can bring people a great sense of accomplishment, encourage people, and enhance the affirmation and trust of the people below.
No wonder Shen saw that the director insisted on taking this opportunity. No one could let go of such a powerful weapon that gathered people's hearts. He must do it himself.
After finishing the inspection of the atmospheric transformation system, Director Shenjian had lunch with some engineers, followed their lives and asked if there were any difficulties.
In the afternoon, I went to the experimental area next to me and visited the builders of Mars City and the researchers who cultivated plants suitable for the Martian environment in the laboratory. I affirmed their efforts, praised their spirit, and said that the difficulties are temporary and the future is beautiful.
After a visit and inspection, even with vehicle assistance, I walked a lot of roads with my legs, let alone dealing with all kinds of people and talking with a smile on my face.
Asuka, who was young, strong and watched the whole time, had a little tiredness on his face, but the director who had personally learned was still energetic and did not see any fatigue at all.
This made Asukatsu very impressed. Sure enough, not everyone can be the leader, and this physical strength and language ability are not something that ordinary people can do.
If it were him, he would have lost his words if he walked a few places.
But as for the director, I will have a friendly conversation whenever I go to a place, and the words of praise are different. They say different words according to different professions and jobs.
This foundation alone is not something that ordinary people have.
Dragging heavy steps, walking in the sealed corridor on the ground, Asuka Shin looked at the sky outside the window. The sun was setting in the west, and it was about to enter the night.
Asutoshi approached Chiba Makoto's ear and asked in a low voice: "It's already so late. Is today's itinerary not over yet?"
"It should be the same..." Before Chiba Cheng finished speaking, a harsh alarm sounded suddenly, and the alarm lights in the corridor also flashed.
This sudden situation surprised everyone. The security personnel immediately surrounded Director Shenjian in the middle and took out the guns and shields.
"No, it's an air raid alarm," Inoue Staff looked panicked. While contacting his subordinates, he shouted: "Can you turn right in front and go to the safety room underground and escort the director over."
As he said it, he was very angry.
Why did the air raid alarm come at this time? Isn’t this a life-threatening one?
If Shen saw something happening to the director here, his future would be completely ruined. His previous efforts and years of hard work will become a waste.
Therefore, his first idea was to quickly send the director to a safe house underground, and he would never let the director even get a piece of skin.
"Don't panic," Shen saw that the director reached out to the side to push the guard who wanted to take him away, and there was no panic on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "Air raid? Who is the attacker? Are the cosmic people? Where is our troops? Let them dispatch immediately."
"I...I'm asking."
Faced with the director's questioning, Staff Inoue was sweating on his forehead. It took a long time since he encountered an attack in Mars City. Everyone was a little relaxed. He focused his main energy on the atmospheric transformation that was easy to make contributions. He could only turn his head and ask at the communicator what happened.
But before I could answer, Chiba Makoto's voice sounded in my ears: "A satellite deployed in the asteroid belt discovered a large number of UFOs and was flying towards Mars. The image has been transmitted. This is...
Sfia sphere!!!”
