The spacecraft is heading towards Mars in full force. 25 hours after the "Alert God". Finally arrived over Mars. It is only about 10,000 kilometers away from Mars. Three of the spacecraft's four antimatter thrusters have been shut down. Only one maintains 10% power to fly to Mars.

Over time. Through the ship's lookout window. Gao Yang and the others had been able to see a huge celestial body appear in the distance. That's Mars.

Mars is only half the diameter of Earth. It is also only one-sixth the size of the Earth.

Either way. Mars is very close to Earth. Mars shares many similarities with Earth. But there are also many places that are fundamentally different.

on Earth. There are 365 days in a year. And a year on Mars. Equivalent to 687 earth rì.

Each season on Mars is twice as long as on Earth. Every season on Mars is colder than the same season on Earth.

Since the elliptical orbit of Mars revolving around the Sun is flattened than the elliptical orbit of the Earth. As a result, the difference in the seasons between the northern and southern hemispheres of Mars is more significant than that of Earth. The difference in the length of the seasons on the planet is no more than 5%. The chūn season in the northern hemisphere on Mars is about one-third longer than in autumn.

Mars has two planets. Circle it. It is called 'Phobos-1' and 'Phobos-2'. And the Earth has only one planet revolving around it. That's the moon.

Mars has mountains, lakes, plains, hills, canyons, and all kinds of signs. Mars was like Earth billions of years ago. It's also a living planet. I just don't know why. It has now become a barren and lifeless planet.

Mars' air density is only 1% of Earth's. The air pressure is also only 1% of that of the Earth. Mars has an atmosphere. But this thin atmosphere does not allow life to occur on Mars. Fortunately. Mars has solid ice at its poles. If this solid ice is melted into water. It will cover 11 centimeters of Mars' surface.

The reason why mankind chose Mars as the most suitable planet for human migration. One of the most important reasons. That's because Mars has a huge amount of solid ice. It has a huge water resource. But to make Mars habitable. It's very difficult.

Mars is an icy planet. The Martian atmosphere is thin and dry. Thermal insulation can be poor. There is a large temperature difference between day and night. The temperature difference is around 100°C. It can reach up to 5°C during the day. At night, it drops abruptly to around -80°C. The temperature at the poles of Mars is even lower. It can reach as low as -139°C. The thin atmosphere of Mars. It would only raise the temperature of Mars by 5 degrees.

The low temperature of Mars. So that the water on Mars cannot form a liquid state at all. If you want to transform Mars. First of all. Mars must have an atmosphere similar to that of Earth.

Only under the protection of the atmosphere. Mars will be able to raise its temperature. Loss of atmosphere. No life on Mars can exist.

Hope for an hour or so. Finally arrived on Mars. All of Mars. It looks like a big rusty iron ball. The surface of Mars. Covered with layers of iron oxide. Thin air. Layers of sand floated. All of Mars. It's a desert planet.

The Hope slowly fell to the ground. Mars' gravity is only one-third of that of Earth. That's half the moon.

Man walks on Mars. It doesn't float up with a light movement like on the moon. But without opinion, the double tuǐ will leave the ground. Gao Yang and dozens of scientists were accompanied by hundreds of liquid robots. Got out of the ship. Everyone carried dozens of kilograms of supplies on their backs. Weight has been maintained.

Substances weighing 30 kg on Earth. On Mars. It weighs only 10 kg. Everyone can easily carry 60 kilograms of supplies such as oxygen cylinders, water, food, and nanoprotective suits.

Gao Yang gave scientific research tasks to more than 30 scientists. Let them study the rocks, wood soil, geography and other topics of Mars. Let the robots protect these scientists. Gao Yang gave the order to the robot. Do not leave the scientists more than two meters away.

in the sky. Ten supersonic fighters flew in the sky. Scanning Mars. Look for everything that has research value.

Gao Yang piloted a super fighter jet alone. Fly to the South Pole crown of Mars. Since the gravitational pull of Mars is too small. A super fighter that can fly 10,000 or 20,000 kilometers per hour on Earth. It's three times faster on Mars. Gao Yang had already reached the South Pole crown of Mars in less than twenty minutes.

A huge glacier appeared in front of me. The thickness reached 50 meters. Gao Yang drilled a piece of ice and let Yan Huang analyze it. The ice in this Antarctic crown is actually the dry pole. 20% of it is carbon dioxide. It contains only 34% nitrogen.

Even if the entire glacier melts, it will be difficult to form an atmosphere similar to that of the Earth. Because the Earth's atmosphere contains 78% nitrogen. And the nitrogen in Mars is only half that of Earth. Gao Yang shook his head. "Get into the super fighter. Flashed to the north pole of Mars.

More than twenty minutes or so. The superfighter flew about 20,000 kilometers. A huge glacier appeared again in front of my eyes.

By analyzing Arctic glaciers. Gao Yang was excited. Arctic glaciers are a solid form of water. It is rich in oxygen and carbon dioxide, and the gas content is up to 35%. Nitrogen reached 50%. This means that as long as the Arctic ice cap is evaporated. It is possible to create an atmosphere on Mars.

However, its effect may be equivalent to only 64% of the Earth's atmosphere. But this case. Gao Yang believes that he can solve it. Gaoyang produces 3 energy for every kilogram of nitrogen produced on the moon. You can get 6,500 tons of nitrogen.

The Moon holds 5 million tons of helium-3. If you calculate it according to this ratio. The Moon can extract 325 billion tons of nitrogen.

Mine all the helium-3 on the Moon. 3,250 tons of nitrogen were extracted. It takes 1 billion years for 5 million people to do it. to be able to provide the transformation of the Martian atmosphere.

Gao Yang felt that he had miscalculated. In the XIII century. It's to transform Mars yourself. Gao Yang's memory has only recovered about 8 points so far. The memory of the transformation of Mars is still ambiguous: "No. I must have miscalculated. I must have miscalculated. I didn't think I used the moon's nitrogen to modify the Martian atmosphere. I must have fallen into the wrong place. Yan. Which misunderstanding I got into. ”

"The hosts. You are indeed miscalculated. Mars is only one-sixth the size of Earth. The area is only 7 points 1. The gravitational force is only one-third that of the Earth. The mass is only 10 times that of the Earth. Taken together. Melt all the solid ice on Mars. An atmosphere of about 92% of the Earth's largest layer can be formed on Mars. That's the case. Mars will be 92% warmer than Earth. This temperature. It is completely suitable for the survival of humans and all kinds of creatures. Your worries are multitude. ”

Gao Yang scratched his head embarrassedly: "So to speak." We can get started. Melts away the solid ice on all of Mars. to make it form an ocean. Ocean water evaporates. to form an atmosphere. ”

"The hosts. We can do that. However, because the gravitational pull of Mars is only one-third that of Earth. So the atmosphere above Mars. It will only reach a third of the Earth. That is, the thickness of about 600 km. It's very fragile. ”

"Also. We have one more condition to be met. We have to vaporize all the Martian glaciers in an instant. If we evaporate the glacier is too small. The vapor produced is too small. The gravitational pull of Mars itself makes it difficult to retain these atmospheres completely. Then these atmospheres will run out. Unless we evaporate all the glaciers at once. A large amount of vapor is formed. The vapors rose into the sky in an instant. They will change the gravitational pull of Mars. At the same time, gravity retains these atmospheres. ”

Gao Yang pondered for a moment: "Evaporate all the glaciers at once. Even if you add up all the nuclear bombs of humanity. It's also hard to do. After all, these glaciers are about 50 to 100 meters thick. We can only use more powerful energy than a nuclear bomb. Like the sun. Harness the endless energy produced by nuclear fusion. Creates the equivalent of the energy of all nuclear bombs on Earth every second. in order to completely melt Mars. Helium-3 comes into contact with hydrogen in water to form nuclear fusion. And the ice on Mars contains a lot of water. As long as we make a superbomb with enough helium-3. This helium ignites the entire glacier. Let the water in the glacier produce a continuous explosion. Nuclear fusion is formed. Eventually melt the glaciers. Yan. Do the math. How much helium-3 do we need to melt all the glaciers. ”

"The hosts. The temperature produced by nuclear fusion reaches nearly 100 million degrees. We don't need such high temperatures. Too high a temperature. It is possible to evaporate the soil above the moon. We have to control nuclear fusion. so that he can produce high temperatures. However, it can be evenly dispersed throughout the glacier. Melting entire glaciers. We only need 1,000 tons of helium-3 distributed in tens of millions of places on Martian glaciers. The power of nuclear fusion is evenly dispersed. to melt all glaciers. We need to make tens of millions of fusion bombs. Only fingers for each size. We use computer control. Detonation at the same time. to melt glaciers. Let Mars form an atmosphere. ”

Gao Yang was reminded by Yan Huang to stab Jī and regain his memory: "Hmm. Not bad. That's it. We are now returning to Earth. Implement this plan. (To be continued...)
