Chapter 293: Discovery on Mars

While the world was still talking about the wedding on the moon, Zhang Wei had already begun his honeymoon journey. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

His trip was not ordinary, because he was going to travel to Mars. He and Ren Huaiyu are not the only ones who participated in this trip, Dad, Mom, Ren's father, and Ren's mother are also members of the Mars tour group, and the family is lively, so as not to be too lonely in space.

For this trip, Zhang Wei had already made full preparations, although there were only six of them, there were two spaceships set off at the same time, even if one spaceship had an irreparable failure, they could also transfer to the other spaceship. In addition, there are ten escape pods on the spacecraft, and there are enough supplies in the escape pods to keep a person alive for two months waiting for rescue.

As for the affairs of the future technology company, there is no need to worry at all, because Zhang Wei has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, and Beidou's penetration of the future technology company has reached a nuanced level, if she finds bad signs, she will immediately report to Zhang Wei, and in the case of not being able to contact Zhang Wei, she will take decisive measures to safeguard Zhang Wei's interests. With the force she now wields, coupled with her own abilities, she can destroy any enemy or plot.

The journey in space was originally a bit boring, because there was nothing in the void, and only occasionally meteorites that passed by the spaceship could be found, but the spaceship that Zhang Wei took six people was modified, in addition to comfortable and complete accommodation, there are gyms, billiard halls, holographic theaters, small dance halls, reading rooms and other facilities, which can allow passengers to pass the time and not be too boring. Therefore, the journey is not very painful, on the contrary, there is a sense of novelty. The six people are often divided into two groups, playing and fighting landlords, chatting, and the relationship is getting more and more harmonious, which is one of the biggest gains of this trip.

"Boss, radiation has been detected, the intensity is beyond the normal range, according to the analysis, we have encountered a solar storm and the energy shield has been activated. ”

Five days after leaving Earth, the master of the spacecraft reported to Zhang Wei.

"Xiaowei, I remember that a solar storm seems to be able to destroy electronic equipment, will it affect our spacecraft? ”

Dad asked, looking a little worried.

Now the whole country is in the transition to the space age, the major media often carry out popular science propaganda on space knowledge, under the influence of ears and eyes, everyone has a certain understanding of space knowledge, but most people are still ignorant, not deep, dad is one of the typical.

"It's okay, as long as it's not a devastating solar storm, the energy shield can block it. ”

As soon as Zhang Wei's words fell, he heard a stabbing sound, which was an electromagnetic noise between the solar wind and the energy shield.

The solar storm is definitely one of the biggest threats to human beings after entering the space age, and it carries a large number of proton streams, electron streams and other heavy ion streams, if it encounters a spacecraft, it will cause damage to the instruments and equipment on the spacecraft, that is, Zhang Wei has energy shield technology, which can protect against solar storms, otherwise he would not dare to travel to space at will.

Thorn stab, stab, stab...... Countless charged particles hit the energy shield, and although they did not penetrate the shield, they also created a powerful thrust that "blew" the spacecraft laterally at a distance of hundreds of meters.

This solar storm was also very large, covering tens of millions of kilometers, and it was not until more than an hour later that the spacecraft was out of the range of the solar wind, and the stinging sound finally disappeared.

Zhang Wei also finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that the energy shield would not be able to hold up, if this really happened, the solar storm would most likely destroy all the electronic equipment on the spacecraft, and the six of them would be trapped in this spaceship, and they would not even be able to get in touch with the outside world.

The spacecraft flew through the vastness of the universe for another nine days, and was finally about to reach Mars, when the spacecraft began to slow down sharply.

On the spaceship, Zhang Wei and others were observing with a telescope, and at a glance, Mars was like a burning fireball, emitting a fiery red light in the void, which was brilliant and dazzling.

This is because the rocks on the surface of Mars contain more iron, and when these rocks are weathered and become dust, the iron in them is also oxidized to red iron oxide. Since the surface of Mars is very dry and there is no liquid water, this makes it very easy for the dust on Mars to fly everywhere driven by the wind, and even develop into dust storms that cover the whole world. In 1971, when the Mariner 9 space probe flew over Mars, it observed a huge dust storm that began in the southern hemisphere and then extended to the northern hemisphere, enveloping the entire planet in dust. The dust storm lasted for several months before the dust in the atmosphere gradually settled, returning the surface of Mars to its original state. It is this recurring dust storm that makes the surface of Mars almost everywhere covered with thick iron oxide dust, giving the surface of Mars a red appearance.

Seeing Mars close at hand, Zhang Wei and the six of them were a little excited in their hearts, and they floated in space for half a month in a row, although the small days were quite comfortable, but they were also a little greasy, and now they finally arrived at their destination! In order to celebrate, Zhang Wei also went to the plant cabin to pick six crisp cucumbers. In addition to cucumbers, many other vegetables are also grown in the plant capsule, which are all new varieties cultivated by Future Technology Company, which have a short growth cycle, stronger quality and higher yield, so that passengers can enjoy delicious fresh vegetables even in space.

As the spacecraft slows down, Mars gets closer and closer, and the terrain is already visible, and most importantly, two spacecraft and some small bases can be seen.

The first spacecraft, with a capacity of 700 tons and 80 astronauts, departed on October 21, 2021, and arrived on Mars on January 20, 2022. The second spacecraft, carrying 5,000 tons and 120 astronauts, departed on January 12, 2022, and arrived on Mars on January 27, 2022. These 200 astronauts have been on the distant Mars for a month, have completed a comprehensive survey of Mars, and sent back several important news to Earth.

First, there is real water on Mars, and there is liquid water.

Previously, scientists believed that there was water on Mars, but that was only based on the conclusion of data analysis, and water was not found directly on Mars.

Now, astronauts at Future Technologies have confirmed that there is plenty of water on Mars. In the north and south poles of Mars, there is an abundance of solid water and liquid water (underground) in the north and south poles and underground.

After this result was transmitted back to Earth, many scientists were ecstatic, since human beings set their sights on the universe, Mars has always been the most suitable planet for human beings to immigrate, and the debate about whether there is water on Mars has always been a hot topic in the scientific community, and now they have finally got an accurate answer: "There is water on Mars, and there is a lot of content!"

Water is the source of life, and for human beings, the primary problem that interstellar migration needs to solve is water, without water, everything is empty talk! As for transporting water from the earth, this is completely unsuitable for large-scale migration!

This discovery of Future Technology has made those countries that participated in the Mars transformation program excited, and they have urged to implement the Mars transformation plan as soon as possible.

Second, there is life on Mars.

For thousands of years, it has been believed that there is advanced life on Mars, and Martian monsters often appear in science fiction novels, and even scientists believe that life on Earth came from Mars, but these have not been confirmed.

However, astronauts from Future Technology have discovered Martian life in the liquid water in the ground on Mars, however, only a large number of microorganisms have been found so far, and as for animals, plants, and advanced intelligent life like humans, they have not been discovered! In fact, no matter whether there is advanced intelligent life or not, it cannot prevent human beings from immigrating to Mars, because between the two civilizations, big fists are the last word! If advanced intelligent life is indeed discovered on Mars, their final outcome will definitely be in a zoo for human enjoyment, or in a laboratory for human research.

Thirdly, no alien civilization bases have been found on Mars, and no traces of alien civilizations have been found.

This discovery made people feel a little disappointed and relieved at the same time, perhaps, the earth is the most advanced civilization in the universe at present? )
