Chapter 374: Brand New Mars
Autumn and October are the harvest season. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The harvest of future technology companies is not small, it is a new Mars. Well, in fact, only 10% of the territory of Mars, about 14.3 million square kilometers.
It has been two years since Ceres hit Mars, and in the past two years, the spacecraft of Future Technology companies and countries have dragged countless cold planets from the asteroid belt and Kuiper belt to impact Mars, so that poor Mars is subjected to indiscriminate bombardment every day, and the huge energy generated during the collision makes Mars continue to boil and roll, earthquakes, volcanoes, lightning and rainstorms have never stopped!
It is only now that Mars has slowly calmed down and presented itself to humanity in a new way.
Mars has appeared on land, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc., and the red iron oxide dust that was originally all over Mars has been washed away by the rain, revealing its original dark brown color, and in the sky, there are white clouds floating.
From Earth, Mars is no longer monotonously red, about 70% of it is dark brown, that's land, and the rest of the place is basically blue and white, that's the ocean and thick atmosphere.
This is an incomparably beautiful new world, a new world full of hope, which makes the people of the earth yearn for it.
Especially after the release of the latest data on Mars by Future Technology Companies, the world is boiling and setting its sights on Mars.
The latest data for Mars is as follows:
Mass: from 0.11 times the size of the earth to 0.16 times now, a direct increase of a small half.
Gravity: It has increased from 0.38 times the earth to 0.67 times now, which is still not suitable for the long-term survival of human beings, but it doesn't matter, Zhang Wei's genetic modification technology can solve the problem of gravity, which actually means that all people who immigrate to Mars have to rely on Zhang Wei!
Atmosphere: Approximately 90 kilometers thick, it is similar to the Earth's atmosphere, and is also divided into troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and outer atmosphere, 95% of which is below the stratosphere. (The boundary between the Earth's atmosphere and space as defined by the International Aeronautical Federation, with an altitude of 100 kilometers being the Kármán Line and space outside the Kármán Line.) )
Atmospheric composition: 81.7% is carbon dioxide, 11.2% is water vapor, 3.5% is nitrogen, and the rest is mainly rare gases such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and sulfide, as for oxygen, only a pitiful 0.53%.
It is a rather unfriendly environment for humans, who will soon suffocate to death if they do not wear oxygen masks. Therefore, the next step in the transformation of Mars is to increase the concentration of the atmosphere and change the composition of the atmosphere.
Temperature: As the residual heat from the collision has not yet dissipated, the maximum temperature during the day is 50 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature is 10 degrees Celsius at night in the equatorial region, and the temperature is between minus 30 degrees Celsius and minus 20 degrees Celsius at the north and south poles. According to quantum computer simulations, the temperature of Mars will drop by 30 degrees Celsius in the next 1 month as the residual heat of the collision dissipates.
This temperature is not very friendly to humans, but the six space mirrors with a diameter of up to 250 kilometers are ready for the future technology company, which is arranged at a distance of 10 tens of thousands of kilometers from Mars, which can reflect sunlight ~ to Mars and increase the temperature of Mars.
Water: Water is the source of life, the importance is self-evident, the future technology company and the country's spacecraft in the past two years from the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt to tow a lot of planets with high water content, has made the earth's total water resources reach 17% of the earth, so much water, enough to make Mars a star of life.
Daylight: Mars only has 1/3 of the daylight on Earth, but with six space mirrors, daylight is acceptable.
Magnetic field: This is the most exciting change, after two years, the magnetic field of Mars has reached 0.9 times that of Earth, almost the same as Earth, and can withstand most of the solar wind and cosmic rays, protecting the Martian atmosphere and life on Mars. In fact, human beings do not need to be afraid of cosmic rays now, because Zhang Wei's genetic modification technology can make human skin have a strong ability to resist radiation, even if it is completely exposed to cosmic rays, it will not be harmed.
Satellites: The original Phobos and Deimos have been thrown to Mars by Future Technology, and the current satellite of Mars is a planet towed from the Kuiper belt, with a diameter of 1,743 kilometers, about a quarter of the diameter of Mars, which is as important to Mars as the Moon is to the Earth, which can cause tidal movement in the ocean, slow down the rotation of Mars, maintain the long-term stability of the Martian climate, and block most meteorites for Mars. In addition, with this satellite, the Martians can also read aloud "The bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected of frost on the ground" in the future.
Overall, Mars is still a forbidden area for humans, but everyone is confident about the next transformation.
China, Future Technology and the rest of the 71 countries involved in the Mars transformation program jointly held a press conference to announce the next step in the transformation of Mars. Of course, the other 71 countries have been downgraded to such and such a federation and such and such administrative regions, for example, the United States is now called the American Union-American Administrative Region, and South Korea is called the Chinese Goryeo Special Administrative Region!
The first is to continue to raise the temperature of Mars to a level suitable for humans and other animals and plants.
Secondly, according to the original Martian atmospheric transformation plan, the concentration of the Martian atmosphere will be increased, the oxygen content in the atmosphere will be increased, and the harmful gases in the atmosphere will be filtered out. Eventually, the atmosphere on Mars will be similar to that on Earth, consisting mainly of nitrogen and oxygen, and the atmospheric concentration and pressure will be similar to that of Earth.
Again, shaping the ecosystem.
A large number of genetically modified cyanobacteria, mosses and other autotrophs are put into the first place, these genetically modified organisms are very tenacious, even in the high temperature of more than 200 degrees, they can still survive and reproduce, and most importantly, they can use carbon dioxide as the main carbon source to grow, and release oxygen. In fact, as early as 2.4 billion years ago on Earth, it was the activity of cyanobacteria that filled the atmosphere with oxygen, allowing aerobic organisms to emerge and evolve.
Then there is the release of super plants that can release more oxygen to speed up the growth of oxygen on Mars, and at the same time release a large number of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that are essential for human survival. The existence of life is inseparable from bacteria. Matter in nature is in a non-stop cycle, from inorganic to organic, and then from organic to inorganic. Bacteria work "hard" in this material cycle, without it, animal and plant corpses will pile up, and these organic matter cannot be decomposed, green plants "starve" to death, animals will also become extinct, and life activities will be terminated.
When oxygen reaches a certain concentration, genetically modified animals can be released to increase the diversity of the biosphere.
At this time, humans can also set foot on Mars without wearing spacesuits, but if they want to settle, they also need to establish Martian agriculture and animal husbandry, form agricultural and sideline food self-sufficiency, carry out production, build energy and raw material industrial facilities, and finally build houses, all of which can be done by robots, and humans just need to sit back and enjoy their achievements.
This press conference made the people of the world boil, and it seemed that immigrating to Mars was just tomorrow! There were also countless businessmen who were excited, because the transformation of Mars requires countless machinery and equipment and raw materials, as long as they can get a piece of the pie, even if they only supply screws, they can make a lot of money! All businessmen in related industries are red-eyed, forming gangs or looking for relationships, and want to participate. However, this money does not need to be paid by future technology companies, but by other countries involved in the Mars transformation program, if you want to get benefits, of course, you have to pay, without technology, you can only pay.
However, it was at this time that the new chief approached Zhang Wei and seemed to want to do something. (To be continued.) )
