Even the Atlanteans, who are much more technologically advanced than humans, will try their best to collect all kinds of meteorites.

Although the vast majority of these meteorites are useless. It's all in the Atlantean scientific system. However, as long as there are billion, ten, or even hundreds of billions of meteorites, there is one piece that is beyond ordinary cognition. Then, the whole civilization will be enlightened and find the direction of evolution!

Therefore, at the lunar base in China, collecting meteorites has become the daily work of those scientists who remain at the base. Nowadays, Huaxia no longer has restrictions on the weight of meteorite collection. Naturally, you can unscrupulously collect all the meteorite specimens you can find.

Of course, collecting meteorites is just a casual job, and these top scientists such as Yun Lei and Huaxia drove specially designed Mars rovers this time and set out in groups with various instruments. The main purpose is to find a suitable place on Mars for humans to build a Martian base.

Mars is different from the Moon, in the past, the exploration of Mars was basically surrounded by the Mayflower Federation. In other countries, some of the data available from the Mayflower FASA is not comprehensive. Moreover, all I got was some information.

And those top scientists of the Mayflower Federation have studied the images and data transmitted by various Mars probes and Mars rovers and analyzed them using supercomputers, and some of them are related to the future competition in the universe, and the outside world cannot even see a shadow at all.

This is completely different from the exploration of the moon. Although the Moon is 380,000 kilometers away from the Earth, it is not far at all on an astronomical scale. The technical threshold for launching a lunar exploration satellite and launching a lunar rover to the moon to explore the moon is much lower than that for Mars.

Even at the peak of the Mayflower Federation, the top ten countries in the world basically had lunar exploration programs and carried out more or less exploration of the moon. Moreover, the moon itself is relatively small. Therefore, before the establishment of the lunar base, human beings obtained a lot of lunar data.

Even where there is a volcano and where there may be a collapsed volcanic tunnel has been explored. Before China established the lunar base, it already had a relevant and detailed plan for the construction of the lunar base. Moreover, even the backup plan has been prepared.

Even if there is no Heavenly Neighbor and other cultivators to help. Ordinary Huaxia people, as long as they are willing to take the time, can also build a lunar base according to the detailed plan listed by Huaxia in advance!

And the establishment of the Mars base will not have so many convenient conditions. Although the upper echelons of the New Mayflower Federation, before the departure of the Thunder, handed over all the information and data about Mars stored in the Mayflower Federal Space Agency to Huaxia. Even the control of the moons that still revolve around Mars today was handed over to Huaxia in advance.

However, Mars is just too big. The images captured by the Mayflower Federation's satellites are limited in what can be reflected. It is not enough to help Huaxia draw up a detailed and feasible Mars exploration plan in advance.

Therefore, if you want to build a Mars base, you need Chinese scientists to carry out relevant explorations and formulate corresponding construction plans for Mars bases. Even if the Mars base cannot be established, in the process of exploration, all kinds of data obtained, and all kinds of problems that can or cannot be solved are very precious.

With these relevant data and experience, the establishment of a Mars base is only a matter of time.

For these scientists on the Thunder who already have experience in building a lunar base, the best plan for building a Mars base is to follow the construction of a lunar base. Find a volcanic tunnel, enter it, and build a base on Mars that resembles a lunar base.

As for some more advanced Martian bases, as well as follow-up plans to transform Mars, we will talk about it when this Martian base is established and humans officially take root on Mars. And this plan has also been supported by the vast majority of scientists on the Thunder, believing that this is the most secure plan.

Volcanoes on Mars are different from volcanoes on Earth, where volcanoes can grow very tall because of their low gravity. Moreover, because of the lack of obvious plate movements, the distribution of volcanoes is dominated by hot spots, rather than as the volcanoes on the earth, with obvious fire ring structures, like mushroom circles, which appear as soon as they appear.

Moreover, the volcanoes on Mars, although much younger than those on the moon billions of years ago, are also very old. On Mars, a large number of volcanoes, stopped erupting hundreds of millions of years ago. The youngest shield volcano was also formed one or two hundred million years ago.

Today, there is no sign of an eruption. It was a dead silence. Theoretically, there should be a large number of lava tunnels under such a volcano. It is the most suitable place to build a Mars base.

The volcanoes of Mars are mainly found in the Plateau of Thalcis, the region of Eurysim, and sporadically on the southern plateau.

After the corresponding Mars base construction plan was obtained, the landing site of these starships was chosen in the western hemisphere of Mars, where there is the Tarsis Plateau of Mars.

The Tarsis Plateau is 14 kilometers high and 6,500 kilometers wide! It is full of five huge shield volcanoes, including the tallest mountain in the solar system, Mount Olympus!

Mount Olympus, the largest volcano known to date, can reach 624 kilometers in diameter and 25 kilometers in height!

In terms of the height of its mountains alone, it is equivalent to the height of three Himalayan mountains stacked on top of each other. The largest volcano on Earth, Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii, has a diameter of only 200 kilometers at its base and a height of only 9,300 meters from the bottom of the sea. In front of the Olympus volcano on Mars, the gap is like a seven or eight-year-old child, facing an adult!

The interior of Mount Olympus on Mars, if hollow, could hold the entire island of Hawaii! Even the crater at the summit of Mount Olympus is more than 85 kilometers in diameter!

According to the Mars rover, the edge of Mount Olympus is gently sloped and there are a large number of long lava ravines. This shows that the Olympus-volcano is mainly composed of flowing basalt lava.
