Chapter 258: The Martian Colony

Is this about to enter the era of interstellar colonization?

The whole world was stunned, and people were not mentally prepared at all, they had just gotten rid of the shadow of the alien invaders, and the Martian era was about to start all of a sudden, and the span was a little too big.

It has a dreamlike feeling.

But since it was said by the gods of Atlantis, it was certainly not a dream, for a while the earth was jubilant, and even the heads of government publicly declared that the era of interstellar colonization had come, and immigrating to Mars was no longer a dream.

Of course, all this has to wait for the results of the gods' trip.

"This is Mars?"

Wang Yue said with emotion as he stepped out of the spaceship, walking lightly on the soft sand, except for any plants, the surroundings looked as if he was standing in the desert of the Australian outback, full of weirdly shaped sand dunes, rocks, ravines, showing a scorching fiery red in the blazing sun.

The thin air did not prevent the storm from forming, and a super tornado, like a Caribbean hurricane, was moving rapidly across the wasteland in the distance.

Wang Yue looked at the scene in front of him speechlessly, it was obvious that this was also a lifeless planet, at least there would be nothing to hide within his field of vision, not to mention the Martian princess, even the microbes were not found, this place was the same as its appearance, it was completely a desert of life.

But this is just a small regret for him, there is no life, there is no life, so you can transform it as you like, Mars colony, how many science fiction dreams of things, but if you really do it, it is not so simple, the environment of Mars is definitely not suitable for direct survival, not to mention the thin atmosphere, the low temperature of minus 100 degrees in winter alone can make all human dreams completely calm down.

If you want to build a real Martian colony. The planet must be modified on a large scale, and the most direct and effective way is to recreate an atmosphere similar to that of the Earth, as long as there is enough atmosphere, then all the problems will be solved. The atmosphere can produce a greenhouse effect, like a quilt to ensure that the ground temperature is not lost in the shortest time, so that the temperature will increase significantly in winter, and the radiation will also be blocked by the atmosphere.

As for the gradual disappearance of the atmosphere caused by the Martian magnetic field and solar storms, there is no need to think about that. This kind of thing is an extremely slow process, and I am afraid that the time has to be calculated for tens of millions of years, and it is difficult to consider this problem when you are too idle, is it possible that you are still ready to let humans live here for millions of years?

One of the things he is worried about now is whether his energy is enough, this is to transform a planet that is smaller than the earth, don't wait for himself to complete the transformation and die, although Mars itself can also provide him with energy supplements, but such a huge project can think about how huge the energy consumption is. The second is the problem of raw materials, not that raw materials are difficult to find. There are elements on the earth on Mars, whether it is nitrogen or oxygen, but the vast majority of oxygen is in the form of carbon dioxide, and the vast majority of the Martian atmosphere is carbon dioxide.

Ingredients are easy to find.

The second question he worries about is: I need too many ingredients.

The total mass of the Earth's atmosphere is almost one percent of the Earth's, which means that he needs to turn nearly one percent of the mass on Mars directly into gas, which may affect the gravitational pull of Mars, and the smaller the planet, the smaller the gravitational pull. Even if it's just a one-percent reduction.

Once the gravitational pull of Mars changes, it is likely to affect the entire solar system, and the butterfly effect is not limited to Earth. It also exists between all the stars of the solar system, with the sun as the center, the gravitational interaction between all the stars constitutes the stability of the galaxy, and the destruction of one point will cause the destruction of the entire system, and the earth's orbit is affected even by the slightest impact, I am afraid it will be a catastrophe for mankind.

If that's the case, it's too late for me to regret it.

"Ma, don't you have to find a planet outside the solar system to play?"

This result did make him very depressed, but he didn't dare to risk this kind of experiment, in case the Martian colony was not built and his hometown was destroyed, it would be more than worth the loss.

In this way, the solution of changing the atmosphere of Mars is very undesirable, and the only thing left is to build a super-large base on Mars.

Just like the Crystal Palace in Yongning, except that it is not underwater, but underground, and builds camps underground, and then connects these camps into a whole with pipes, and at the same time passes pipes to the ground for lighting, as long as a reflective layer is created inside these pipes, and the lighting channels similar to the principle of optical fiber cables are used, they can transmit the sunlight from the ground to hundreds or even thousands of meters underground, and the exterior is sealed with materials such as glass, so that even if they live underground, they are no different from the ground.

Then the inside of the system creates the same air as the earth, and then adds a layer of soil of sufficient thickness, and plants that can produce oxygen are planted on it, so that a closed circulatory system can be formed, just like the moon palace, there is no need to constantly inject oxygen by itself.

As for water, it's even simpler, there is water on Mars, and there is plenty of water, but it's all on the ice caps at the poles, as long as a few water pipes are made to lead directly from there. And there should be enough groundwater under Mars, so that even if you don't use the polar ice caps, you can pump water directly from the ground, and there are fusion reactors anyway, so you don't need to worry about energy at all.

And human beings immigrating to Mars are definitely not here to be in charge, who would run to such a ghost place on Earth to be in charge.

To put it bluntly, they are here to open mines and plunder resources, so that all the miners who come here are just some miners, and having such a base can solve their living problems. As for their mining work, they can work on the surface with specialized mine carts and protective gear, and his spacecraft can solve the transportation problem to and fro, so that a Martian development company will be built. And you can also use it as a tourist attraction to come from Earth to experience the alien scenery, and there is no doubt that a trip to Mars will be a tourist attraction for tourists.

Although there is actually nothing to see in this place, it is better to see the Australian desert than to see it, but it is enough to have the identity of Mars.

There are miners, there are a lot of tourists, so there are people who serve them. A small city appeared, and wasn't that how the colonies of the colonial era were formed? It won't be long before there will be a real colony on Mars.

However, in this case, there is also a question that must be considered, that is, whether the crust of Mars is stable enough, because once an earthquake occurs, it is difficult to survive in such a base, you must know that human scientists have found signs of similar earthquakes on this planet before.

But then Wang Yue threw this question to his mind. Since it is a colony, of course, there are risks, which of those colonial pioneers in history did not have his head on his belt? There is no such thing as a mining disaster on the earth, if you want to play interstellar colonization, you can't be afraid of any dead people, not to mention that the crust of Mars is actually much more stable than that of the earth, and the so-called earthquake signs observed by human scientists may not be what they are, it is nothing more than seeing the stones rolling, maybe they are still blown by the wind, and the wind speed in this place is the fastest to catch up with the fighter jets. Scrape away a few rocks for nothing.

After putting aside the burden of thought, Wang Yue immediately began to act.

The first is to find groundwater, which must be determined first, although he says that water can be diverted from the poles. But that's just a last resort, and it's best if there is groundwater. The guy quickly picked a spot and a glass hole popped up beneath his feet, and his body immediately began to sink. As the underground glass passage continued to extend downward, he also continued to sink, and then immediately after the top of his head reunited, and in this way he sank to more than a thousand meters. The cold spring water under his feet gushed out violently, and instantly flooded his body.

Well, there is groundwater here, and there is an abundance of water, so this problem is completely solved.

Then there is the location of the base, which must not be selected in sandy soil, it must be a rocky mountain with sufficient hardness, and it is best to be a rocky mountain as a whole, of course, even if it is not a whole, it can be made into a whole, so as to minimize the damage in the event of an earthquake.

He soon found a continuous mountainous area nearby, covering an area of tens of square kilometers, and the mountains were all hard rocks, of course, in fact, the mountains on Mars are like this, the surface here cannot be like the earth, and it is covered with a layer of humus soil, all the mountains are bare rocks.

That would be enough for him to transform.

First dig out a hollow chamber in the belly of each mountain, these hollows don't need to be too big, you can have a football field as big, of course, you can't completely empty it in the middle, you must leave a sufficient amount of support. Then dig up a series of lighting shafts, these shafts do not need to be too large in diameter, a ten meters is enough, the inner walls are made of reflective layers, knocked on the outside with curved glass covers, the sunlight from the outside after a series of reflections finally reach the inside, the same all the walls inside also make a reflective layer, so that you can make full use of the sunlight.

There is a water spray device in the middle of the glass cover, which is connected to the pipe, which is a must, Mars is a place where the wind and sand are big, if there is no continuous water flow to clean, maybe it will have to be cleaned once an hour, and there is an uninterrupted water flow to rush to worry about this problem.

The number of these shafts is not to be large, and it is necessary to meet the needs of sufficient internal lighting.

Each mountain peak is a standing unit, with a large botanical garden for the production of oxygen, and around the botanical garden there are living quarters where people live, and between the peaks, there are tunnels to connect the peaks, forming the whole of the base. The base is equipped with a fusion power station to provide electricity, a centralized water supply and drainage system, a dedicated gate, and an emergency exit for each mountain, which is not unusable in case of emergency, as for the airport outside, of course.

As for the specific construction of the internal living quarters, there is no need to trouble the gods, they just need to dig out the cave, and the rest is to wait for the spaceship to be mass-produced, and the decoration materials will be transported from the earth to this side for the immigrants to design themselves.

In the next few days, Wang Yue enthusiastically began the construction of his Martian colony, and it took almost half a month to complete the transformation of more than 20 peaks in this mountainous area, and then the fusion power station was also built, and the water well was also laid, and then he finished the work with satisfaction.

After finishing his work, he made a statue of himself larger than the Sphinx outside the base, stood at the entrance with his arms raised and looked proud, and deliberately created three big characters above the entrance.

That's it!

He looked at his colossal statue contentedly, then then slipped into the spaceship and left Mars for Earth.

A few days later, when his spacecraft flew over the moon, it was discovered by a manned spacecraft that had just arrived, this was a Chinese spacecraft, and a US imperialist spacecraft had arrived before this, and Lucia, the European spacecraft was also preparing to launch, it was obvious that all countries were very interested in the garbage made by Wang Yue, this is an alien black technology, even if it was broken by the gods, as long as it could get even a little something, it was priceless.

Just as the two Chinese astronauts were bouncing around, picking up a piece of metal wreckage and carefully placing it in a box like a treasure, Wang Yue's giant spaceship suddenly stopped in front of them, and then this guy stood at the hatch and waved at them as if they had met by chance on the street.

Well, the next thing is simple, there is an alien spacecraft who is still sitting on the tattered on the earth, after picking up the two astronauts, Wang Yue pulled the other three US imperialist astronauts who picked up the rags, and then took off and went straight to the earth.

At this time, the whole earth was already boiling, and everyone flocked to Zhongdu like crazy, because Wang Yue had already told the ground through the communication device on the Huaguo spacecraft that they would land in Zhongdu on the captured alien spacecraft, and then invite scientists from all over the world to go to study together to see if human science and technology have the ability to replicate it.

Such a good thing made the eyes of all governments red, and the world's scientific and technological elites were all packed and stuffed into the planes of various countries, one by one, like a cloud of locusts, plus those believers who came to greet the great god, and reporters from all walks of life, the whole of China was completely overwhelmed by the crowd, and the scene was even better than the Hajj in Mecca in the past.
