Chapter 1022: The Great Change on Mars
If any earthlings saw this scene on Mars at this time, they would definitely disdain the apocalypse of the earth depicted in those American disaster blockbusters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
What is the end of the planet? If you look at Mars right now, it's a completely apocalyptic scenario.
Dozens of giant volcanoes N times larger than Yellowstone Volcano erupted violently, and huge amounts of volcanic ash and volcanic gases were spewed out of the crater along with lava material, which had been silent for billions of years, covering the entire Mars in just one day.
Driven by the thermal current, gray-black volcanic ash filled the entire Martian atmosphere, making the originally red planet directly turn into a "dead and silent" gray-black planet at this moment.
And inside the Martian atmosphere, which is encased in volcanic ash and volcanic gases, countless huge cracks began to appear.
These cracks, which are tens of kilometers wide, even hundreds, hundreds of kilometers, hundreds or thousands of kilometers long, and I don't know how deep they are, are desperately tearing at the crust of Mars with their big black mouths.
With the emergence of these huge cracks, a large plate deliberately distinguished by Tang Feng was finally formed on Mars.
Without the movement of the tectonic plates, Mars would be dead. While the movement of the tectonic plates will cause a lot of trouble for future Earth settlers, it is insignificant compared to keeping Mars alive.
In the future, Mars, driven by the "resurrected" Martian core, will be the same as the Earth, and a series of crustal movements will occur around these four major plates every year, so that the rich materials contained in the earth's crust will appear on the surface of Mars with these crustal movements.
Along with the four major plates, the "ice sheets" at the north and south poles of Mars are changing.
In fact, for various unclear reasons, Mars, which once had abundant liquid water like Earth, has now completely become a dry planet, and the oceans that once covered almost half of the northern hemisphere of Mars have disappeared.
Now on the surface of Mars, especially at the north and south poles, although there is "ice", that "ice" is not solid water, but carbon dioxide that is solidified at low temperatures.
Especially in the north and south poles of Mars, there is a huge amount of dry ice. And now, under the violent geological movement of Mars, the dry ice is also melting rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye under the high temperature brought by the huge amount of lava material that has rushed out of the surface of Mars.
Large clumps of white gas rise from the north and south poles of Mars, and these white gases are dry ice gas. When the white gas returns to a colorless state, it means that a huge amount of carbon dioxide gas is released.
According to the calculations given by the main control computer of the Hope Base, the carbon dioxide released from the "ice" caps of the North and South Poles is enough to increase the density of the entire Martian atmosphere by more than 20 times, plus the volcanic gas erupted by major volcanoes, the density of the Martian atmosphere will increase to about two-thirds of the density of the Earth's atmosphere in just a few months.
In other words, when these geological movements are completed, as long as Mars can restore the "generator effect", then the density of the Martian atmosphere will be able to reach about 70% of the density of the Earth's atmosphere, and the atmospheric pressure of Mars will also rise from about 6 millibars to about 660 millibars.
What does this mean? This means that the Martian atmosphere, which was originally only 6/1000 of the Earth's atmospheric pressure, will return to a pressure equivalent to about 3,400 meters above sea level on the Earth, which is almost equivalent to the atmospheric pressure of Lhasa, China.
Although this kind of air pressure will still make many people uncomfortable, under this atmospheric pressure, human beings can already live freely.
In addition, when the "generator effect" of Mars is restored, the Martian atmosphere will be protected in an all-round way, and there will never be a tragedy like the one in the past three billion years, when the Martian atmosphere has been ruthlessly stripped by the solar wind. And with the transformation of the Martian surface by the earth's immigrants, such as planting a large number of plants to restore the oxygen content of the Martian atmosphere, the density of the Martian atmosphere will further increase, and it will be more suitable for the survival of earthlings.
In addition, the huge amount of carbon dioxide emitted by this large-scale Martian geological movement and the even greater amount of carbon dioxide produced by the melting of the huge "ice" caps at the north and south poles of Mars are enough to raise the average temperature of Mars by 40 to 50 degrees Celsius and restore the average temperature of Mars to about zero degrees.
And with the increase of carbon dioxide, the temperature difference between day and night on Mars will not become so large. According to the results calculated by the main control computer of the Hope Base, when all this is over, the temperature near the Martian equator, even in winter, the maximum temperature can be maintained at about 10 degrees Celsius, and the temperature difference between day and night will not exceed 30 degrees Celsius.
In the summer, the temperature at the Martian equator is roughly equivalent to the climate state of the Earth at about 35 degrees north latitude.
It can be said that after this series of geological movements, Mars has basically met the conditions for human survival.
It's just that if all this is to be completely settled, it will take at least three or five years to wait.
This really has to be settled. In fact, because of this series of violent geological movements, especially the huge amount of volcanic ash that erupted, after all the lava from the eruption cooled down, the temperature on Mars will continue to decrease instead of rising. Because the volcanic ash that spreads almost all over the Martian atmosphere will block the sun's rays for three to five years, only when the volcanic ash all falls to the surface of Mars and the sunlight hits the surface of Mars again, the temperature of Mars will rise rapidly.
Isn't that just the dust settled?
However, this time period is the time for the earthlings to launch the "Tinder Project". The huge "Tinder Project" needs to run for a long time, not to mention, the construction time of the three giant manned spacecraft that are more than ten times larger than the "Prince Barnett" alone is enough to keep the earthlings busy for seven or eight years.
And when it really came time for earthlings to begin to migrate to Mars on a large scale, the Martian climate at that time would have already recovered.
In this violent geological movement that can be called all of Mars, the only area of the entire Mars that has not been affected is Mariner Valley.
This canyon was originally the largest canyon in the entire Mars and even the entire solar system, but because of Tang Feng's deliberate protection, it did not receive any damage. Mariner's Valley is a very beautiful area, Tang Feng still wants to wait for the large-scale settlement of earthlings to Mars, and open up a resort here, how can he bear to let this place be destroyed?
In addition, this is still the old nest of the Hope Base, and Tang Feng will not allow this place to be damaged.
However, this large-scale geological movement also allowed Tang Feng to see the power of stellar star cores for the first time. In contrast, the earthquakes and tsunamis that were caused on the earth in the past were like children's play. And the star core, which easily does all this, has not even fully exerted its strength.
Similarly, this large-scale geological movement, which can be called a great change on Mars, has also scared those who are far away on Earth...... (To be continued.) )
