"Our development of outer space colonies is not a city that builds an artificial ecological circulation system on an alien planet, as we all know, Mars is a terrestrial planet.

It only needs to be renovated, it will be our other home, so the closed city of artificial ecological cycle is completely unrealistic, what we want to build is a home, a home exactly like the earth. ”

Ye Fan waved his hand, and several plan drawings appeared in front of everyone's eyes through the projection.

At this time, even the employees of Datang Technology were stunned by Ye Fan's grand plan.

Transforming Mars?

What are you kidding, now that humans don't even understand the ecology of the earth, they set their sights on Mars?

I'm afraid this is a big pie thrown by my boss in order to change the topic, right?

"The key condition for the transformation of Mars is to see whether the existing conditions can be used to increase the air pressure and temperature on the surface of Mars, and how to restore its pressure and temperature.

To keep the temperature and pressure of the atmosphere down, and whether it is possible to restore the magnetic field of Mars, we already have a relevant research program within our company.

The renovation project will be carried out at the beginning of next year for preliminary experiments and plans, and I can tell you responsibly that we at Datang Technology have mastered the relevant technologies! ”

Ye Fan's words were not a big deal, but he really wanted to open up a colony on Mars, and the difficulty of restoring the environment in the future may not be as complicated as he thinks now.

Because only he knows that Mars also had a complete ecosystem back then, but it became what it is now in a cosmic war 10,000 years ago.

10,000 years is negligible for a planet, so as long as it is not like the conclusion reached by scientists, such as the loss of magnetism three billion years ago, the modification is still likely to be successful.

Wow!

There was an uproar.

This seems impossible at the moment.

Mars is one of the closest planets to Earth in the solar system, especially when people remove the veil of the mystery of Venus and are disappointed to find that Venus is an extremely high temperature and high pressure, acidic atmosphere and poisonous "death star", Mars becomes more like a gentle and amiable star of hope.

NASA evidence suggests that the Martian environment may have been a habitable "paradise" like Earth's. ”

Many years ago, Mars was alive on the inside, with a thick atmosphere on the outside, and a magnetic field that protected everything on Mars.

It is very likely that there was an abundance of liquid water on the surface of Mars, or even a vast ocean.

But now they're gone.

The interior of Mars gradually cooled for unknown reasons, so the magnetic field began to slowly disappear, the atmosphere also drifted away, and then the liquid water on the surface was not spared.

The surface of Mars eventually became what we see today, cold, dry, and dead.

However, it is not impossible to transform Mars, and it is not impossible for Mars to have an atmosphere and water again.

After all, many new discoveries in recent years have confirmed this possibility.

In 2008, NASA's Phoenix lander found water ice in the shallow depths near the North Pole of Mars.

In early 2018, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (RO) discovered large amounts of pure groundwater ice in the mid-latitudes of Mars.

In July 2018, radar data from ESA's Mars Express rover indicated that there was a high probability of a saltwater lake under the Martian South Pole ice.

Since the problem of water is quite possible, what about the problem of the atmosphere?

After all, Mars has a very thin atmosphere, and the average surface pressure is only 6 bar, which is 0006 bar, or 600 pa, which is still too far from the level of 1 standard atmosphere on the earth's surface.

Therefore, the plan announced by Ye Fan is to convert the existing carbon dioxide reserves of Mars, and even the carbon-containing reserves, into carbon dioxide gas, so that Mars can have a thick atmosphere to keep warm and prevent the escape of water molecules.

After all, the air pressure on Mars has indeed increased, so in the future, Martian immigrants will not need to wear heavy pressurized spacesuits when they work outdoors.

And this is still a preliminary transformation, when after subsequent modifications, carbon dioxide can be used to keep Mars warm, so that Mars will not continue to cool, and liquid water can also be stable on the surface of Mars.

Ye Fan's plan is somewhat similar to the plan proposed by Musk, the founder of SpaceX, and countless crazy scientists to transform Mars.

However, some reporters present were not optimistic about Ye Fan's plan, and there were more and more people who thought that Ye Fan was bragging.

"Mr. Ye, I don't think your idea is very realistic, and I published an opinion article in the August 2018 issue of Nature Science.

It is pointed out that with the current level of human technology, even if all the current carbon reserves on Mars are converted into carbon dioxide gas,

It may not be enough to make Mars a habitable planet, so what do you think about the idea that your plan will not succeed in the first step? ”

This is a female journalist, she used to be responsible for aerospace and space reports and interviews, so she is also very familiar with things in the industry.

If it weren't for the launch of a rocket from Ye Fan's launch center on October 1, she would have come here to do a special interview and leave it until now for follow-up reports, she would not have appeared in this place.

However, it was precisely because of her question that the scene was full of sighs, after all, Ye Fan's plan was really a bit of a dream.

Even if Datang Technology really spent a lot of extra money because of the previous continuous donations and the construction of the particle collider, and wanted to draw a big pie circle for a wave of money, it can't be so rich, right?

No one believes in this project at all, right?

Two years ago, there was a company on Amejian's side, saying that it was going to establish a colony on the other side of Mars, and it recruited volunteers from the people, which was a boom.

At that time, a trip with no return, that is, a one-way ticket (humans did not have the technology to return to Earth from Mars), Mars residence, and many other conceptual projects, all made people stunned.

However, in the end, it was not exposed, saying that the company was playing with the concept circle of money, and there has been no news of this company in the past two years.

And Ye Fan played bigger than the company this time, and even said that he was going to transform Mars?!!

No one believes this.

When did human technology become so advanced?
