Chapter 297: Seven Steps to Mars Transformation (2-in-1 Chapter)

Zhang Wei discussed with Liu Hai, Qin Xiaobu, and Zhang Zhijian for nearly a day, and basically determined the matter of genetic evolution liquid. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The Genetic Evolution Liquid can be sold externally, but it is divided into three levels.

The third class only has the function of optimizing genes and repairing gene defects, and can be sold worldwide.

The second level is the normal genetic evolution fluid, which can optimize genes, modify genes, let humans evolve, and at the same time increase the life expectancy of human beings to about 150 years.

The first level is the enhanced version of the Gene Evolution Solution, which will integrate the performance of the Z-1000 into it, allowing users to have a longer lifespan while genetically evolving, and the lifespan should be divided into grades, such as 200 years old, 300 years old, and 400 years old. This level of genetic evolution fluid is not open to the public, and is only used to reward core employees who have contributed to the company, and the greater the contribution, the more life will be extended.

As for Zhang Wei's work, it is to develop these three levels of genetic evolution fluid, and at the same time find a way to greatly reduce costs, and also start to develop the second generation of genetic evolution fluid, and integrate various excellent genes such as super self-healing ability, super memory ability, and super radiation resistance into the second-generation gene evolution fluid.

Next.

The Mars Transformation Project has officially launched, and 2,500 scientists from all over the world are all gearing up to show off their skills, and have been studying hard for decades, isn't it just for this day?

In the conference hall, on the rostrum, Zhang Wei was sitting precariously, looking around at the 2,500 scientists in the audience. He is the overall person in charge of the Mars transformation program, and the major decisions of the entire plan need to be made by him to pass. For his identity, the governments and scientists involved in the Mars transformation project all agreed, because he is the only one who can convince governments and scientists.

"Good morning, everyone. ā€

Zhang Wei said, "We are all leaders in biology, physics, ecology and other fields, and time is precious, so I will not waste time talking nonsense, and I now announce that the research work of the Mars Modification Program has been officially launched." ā€

"Transforming a planet is a great project at the level of Genesis, and it is certainly not as easy as shouting slogans, especially on a planet as big as Mars, and it is even more difficult for us to go directly without relevant experience. However, our human civilization has been able to come to this day because it has been turning the impossible into possible and turning dreams into reality. The transformation of Mars will be successful, and we ......"

Zhang Wei outlined a bright future for the scientists present, "We will all become heroes of human civilization and be admired by future generations!"

The audience burst into applause, and all the scientists applauded excitedly, the Mars transformation project must succeed, and if it succeeds, they will be the heroes of mankind, gaining fame and fortune; if they fail, they will become a laughing stock and become a typical example of self-indulgence.

After the applause stopped, Zhang Wei continued, "The transformation of Mars is a systematic and huge project, our first task is to develop a general framework, and then fill in the content for this framework. ā€

At this time, Zhang Wei activated a holographic image device with his mind, projecting a virtual three-dimensional screen in front of the rostrum, and a huge red planet appeared on the screen, everyone looked familiar, this is their goal - Mars!

Zhang Wei stood up, pointed to Mars on the three-dimensional screen and said, "This is Mars, although everyone is already familiar with Mars, I still want to introduce its information, because Future Technology Company has obtained a lot of first-hand information in the Mars expedition and has a deeper understanding of Mars."

Mars has an average diameter of 6,790 kilometers, about half the diameter of the Earth, about 1/6 of the Earth's volume, and about 1/10 of the Earth's mass.

A Martian day is 24 hours and 37 minutes, and Earth's day is 23 hours and 56 minutes, both have almost the same day and night, and both have almost the same seasonal changes; Mars also has an atmosphere, but it is relatively thin, and among all the planets, Mars has the closest temperature to Earth, with a maximum temperature of about 20C and an average temperature of -70C to -60C.

There is still water on Mars, and the astronauts of Future Technology have confirmed that there are ~ abundant solid water and liquid water (underground) in the north and south poles and underground of Mars, and the total amount of proven water resources is about 340,000 cubic kilometers, which is 0.00025% of the water resources on Earth.

There is still life on Mars, although it is only a low-level life like microorganisms, but this is the only life that humans have found outside the earth so far, which also shows that Mars is suitable for life.

……

It can be said that in terms of energy, materials, living environment and other considerations, Mars is the most suitable planet for human migration in the solar system, and there is no one. ā€

Zhang Wei once again used his mind to control the holographic image equipment to switch the picture, and the red spark on the three-dimensional screen suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, it became a blue planet, bright, charming, and desirable.

"This is the transformed Mars, which will become the second Earth for mankind. ā€

Zhang Wei pointed to the image on the three-dimensional screen and said, "Next, please put forward your own ideas and suggestions, so that the current Mars will become Mars on the screen." ā€

Because there were so many scientists on the scene, it would be too inefficient if everyone took turns to speak, so Zhang Wei divided the scientists into several groups, first discussed a more feasible plan within the group, and then used the supercomputer provided by Future Technology to simulate the plan, and finally the group representative made a speech for others to evaluate the plan. Finally, the best plan is designed by synthesizing the proposals proposed by all the groups.

Scientists are all bursting with the utmost enthusiasm, voicing their opinions, and then staring at the supercomputers provided by future technology companies, watching the simulation results of the solutions they have designed, and they can't even bother to eat. At the same time, these scientists can't help but be shocked by the deep pockets of Future Technology, because Future Technology has prepared 60 supercomputers for them, which is simply too much!

Three days later, the teams were refining their protocols, and all the scientists gathered in the conference hall to begin evaluating them.

Under the gaze of everyone, a spirited old man walked onto the main ~ stage with strong ~ vigorous steps, and the entire conference hall instantly quieted down, waiting for the old man's speech.

The old man, Yang Qihai, was sent by the Chinese government to participate in the Mars transformation program, and he and 20 other Chinese scientists formed a team to devise a plan that would give them more confidence. For this plan, they only rested for less than ten hours in three days, which was completely desperate.

"Regarding the transformation of Mars, I think it can be broken down into seven steps. ā€

Yang Qihai's voice is very loud, just like a young strong guy, thanks to the medical cabin invented by Zhang Wei, so that an old man like Yang Qihai can regain a young and energetic body. In fact, governments around the world attach great importance to their own important scientists, and have introduced relevant policies to replace the young bodies of those scientists who have entered old age for free.

"Gravity is known to have a significant impact on a person's body. The surface gravity of Mars is only 38% of the gravity of the earth's surface, and the earth's human beings will have bone loosening in less than a year when they go to Mars, and if Mars colonization is successful, it will be difficult for those Martians who grew up in a low-gravity environment to adapt to the gravity of several times that of Mars on the earth.

Therefore, if humans are to truly occupy Mars, instead of living in colonial cities with artificial gravity, the problem of gravity must be solved.

I talked to Dr. Zhang, and he also took this aspect into account, and he thought that there were two ways to solve this problem, one was to use genetic technology to allow humans to adapt to changes in the gravitational environment, and the other was to modify Mars so that Mars has about the same gravity as Earth. Dr. Zhang said that the first option may take a long time to implement, but the second option is already on the horizon.

For a planet like Mars, there is only one way to increase gravity - increase the mass of the planet.

How do you increase the mass of the planet? Space meteorites, comets, asteroids, and so on, of course.

Mars is relatively close to the asteroid belt, and we can move the asteroids in the asteroid belt and let them hit Mars.

As long as the angle of impact is right, it can not only increase the mass of Mars, but also speed up the rotation of Mars, which can increase the gravity of Mars. In addition, the enormous energy generated by the impact can also raise the temperature of Mars, and some asteroids also contain abundant water resources, which can bring a lot of water to Mars.

Regarding the technical question of sending asteroids from the asteroid belt to Mars, we asked Dr. Zhang to answer them for us. ā€

In the applause of the scientists, Zhang Wei came to the main ~ stage and said, "Regarding the technology of capturing asteroids, I mentioned it last year, and at that time I thought it would take five years to succeed, but after inventing the nuclear fusion engine, I used supercomputer simulation and found that it only takes about a year for future technology companies to succeed."

We will install a large number of nuclear fusion engines on the asteroid, and at the same time use a large number of spacecraft to tow it, and then make reasonable use of the gravitational pull of the sun and the planets to push the asteroid towards Mars.

As I speak of this, there will certainly be many people who are concerned that the movement of a large number of asteroids and the change in the mass of Mars will affect the fragile balance of the solar system, and even collapse the solar system and affect the Earth.

Rest assured, though, that Future Tech has enough supercomputers in place to calculate the impact of every gram of mass on the solar system in detail as we transform Mars. ā€

When the scientists in the audience heard this, they all showed shock on their faces, the technology of future technology companies has improved too fast, and it can't be inferred by common sense at all!

At this time, Zhang Wei stepped down from the main ~ stage, and Yang Qihai continued, "Hitting Mars with an asteroid to increase the gravity of Mars is the first step, and the second step is to quickly heat up Mars to heat it up." The huge energy generated by the impact of the asteroid will raise the temperature of Mars, but this is not enough, we also need to bomb the north and south poles of Mars with nuclear bombs, which can release a large amount of thermal radiation in a short period of time, which has the effect of heating Mars, and at the same time melt the frozen carbon dioxide at the north and south poles of Mars, thicken the atmosphere and heat water, thereby creating a greenhouse effect on Mars and further increasing the temperature of Mars.

As for the problem that a large number of nuclear bombs may cause a nuclear winter, we did not find out in the process of simulating with a supercomputer. And we can drop nuclear bombs in batches during the specific implementation process, and if we find that it may cause a nuclear winter, we will stop it immediately, and then start a backup plan to build a space mirror made of mylar material with a diameter of 250 kilometers, which will be placed 210,000 kilometers away from Mars to reflect sunlight ~ to Mars and increase the temperature of Mars. I have also communicated with Dr. Zhang about the Space Mirror, and Dr. Zhang said that it is technically no problem for future technology companies. ā€

In fact, there is no need for nuclear bombs in the process of heating Mars, but in the process of communication between Yang Qihai and Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei thinks that this method can be used to consume a large number of nuclear bombs in stock on the earth and make the earth safer.

As soon as the words fell, the scientists in the audience began to discuss, this is another big deal, after dropping an asteroid and dropping a nuclear bomb, it is simply to toss Mars to death. Having said that, there are no humans on Mars now, so you can toss as much as you want, and as for the microbes on Mars, will humans care if they live or die?

At this time, Yang Qihai spoke again, "After the first and second steps, the temperature on Mars has increased, and there is a large amount of water resources, we can start the third step, increasing the concentration of the atmosphere and changing the composition of the atmosphere." Everyone knows that the atmosphere on Mars is thin, only one percent of that on Earth, and that number needs to be raised to at least 30% if water is to remain in liquid form.

In addition, the main component of the Martian atmosphere is carbon dioxide, accounting for 95.32%, while oxygen is only 0.15%, and there are a large number of dust particles in the atmosphere, which is completely unsuitable for human survival.

So, we're going to increase the concentration of the atmosphere on Mars, to increase the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. I've already drawn up a plan for the transformation of the Martian atmosphere, and I won't go into details for now, but I'll upload the information to the shared space later for everyone to download. ā€

Everyone nodded and motioned for Yang Qihai to continue.

Yang Qihai paused, and then said, "The fourth step is to establish the surface ecological environment of Mars. We can choose to grow fungi and mosses that promote photosynthesis and gradually plant trees on Mars. Photosynthesis gradually turns carbon dioxide into oxygen, further breeding super plants that can release more oxygen, accelerating the growth rate of oxygen on Mars, and gradually changing the composition of the Martian atmosphere. In fact, the third and fourth steps complement each other and are carried out almost simultaneously. In addition, Future Technology has accumulated a wealth of technology in cultivating space plants, and is currently using genetic technology to breed fungi, mosses, and plants suitable for survival on Mars, and is progressing well, and it is expected to achieve a breakthrough within a year. ā€

"The fifth step is to build a complete ecological chain on Mars, with animals, plants, and microorganisms, to maintain ecological balance and make Mars a vibrant planet. At the same time, Martian agriculture and animal husbandry will be established to form self-sufficiency in agricultural and sideline food. ā€

"The sixth step is to carry out production, build industrial facilities for energy and raw materials. ā€

"The seventh step is to build a house and build the infrastructure for human life, and at this time, we humans can move to Mars. (To be continued.) )
