Riding around Mars in a spaceship, there's really not much to see.

Now on Mars, the land is the same barren, without a trace of color, even if there are mountains, canyons, steep mountains and the like, no matter how you look at the lifeless world, it is the same.

As for the ocean, the same is true, even if the area near the coastline is a red ocean, which is relatively new, but there is also no life, and there is nothing worth seeing, and because the mass of the two moons of Mars is too small, its gravitational pull is too small, so the ocean above Mars is even very tidal.

In addition, he could only take a look inside the spaceship, and he couldn't really go to Mars, take off his spacesuit to walk around Mars and feel it, so Qin Yi also quickly returned to the 'Emperor of Hanwu' spaceship.

After coming back, Qin Yi was not idle, and soon came to the biological science research center on the spaceship, ready to take a look at the situation in the biological research center.

The first step of the transformation of Mars has been completed, the next step is to increase the atmosphere of Mars, increase the oxygen of Mars, and then release the seeds of life to Mars, so that Mars can be quickly greened.

There are still some differences between the environment of Mars and the Earth, and if you want to quickly green Mars and make Mars full of life, this is definitely the use of powerful biotechnology.

If you just put some seeds or something and let it grow and reproduce naturally, it will take a long time.

Technological means must be used to speed up this process, because after the vegetation is covered, animals, birds, fish and other life will have to be released to Mars.

These advanced lifeforms, it needs a longer cycle of reproduction and growth, and it is necessary to speed up the progress and speed up the transformation of Mars as soon as possible, so that they can migrate earlier.

The space in the spacecraft is very large, and there is a floor dedicated to biological scientists to conduct biological science research, and all kinds of research equipment are also the most advanced, which is completely built by the standards of interstellar astronautics.

"From the Martian soil samples that have just been collected, Mars is still very barren, and if you want to green Mars, it is best to put moss plants first."

"After that, we put drought-tolerant plants, and Mars, which has no vegetation, can't lock in water, and most of the area will quickly become very dry, just like the desert earth on Earth."

"Even if there is precipitation, it is difficult to retain it, so in the early stage, it is mainly to put drought-tolerant plants, and it is better to build drip and irrigation facilities on a large scale."

"The water in this Martian ocean is fresh water, and it can be directly extracted for irrigation, and only after the plants are lush can we slowly introduce other plant species."

At the Biological Research Center, Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan are carefully studying the plan to modify Mars with their own teams, and now biological scientists at the Galaxy Science Research Institute are studying this topic.

This is a completely new topic and a huge challenge.

Although all aspects of Mars conditions have shown that it is suitable for the survival of life, but because Mars was originally a dead planet, its soil, rocks, etc. are very barren, and there is no organic layer at all, which is very unfavorable for the growth of plants.

What's more, because there is no vegetation, it is difficult to lock in moisture, which means that it will be very dry on Mars, coupled with the large temperature difference between Mars day and night, the temperature during the day is high, and the temperature is low at night, and the temperature difference between day and night is dozens of degrees, which is very harsh.

It's definitely not an easy task to get green to Mars quickly.

"It seems that we can only use genetic recombination technology, which is to put new drought-tolerant, fast-growing plants on Mars first, lock in the soil and water on Mars, and then slowly release other plants."

Li Jingxuan carefully studied the mud, rocks, water, etc. on Mars, the conditions in all aspects were relatively poor, and the only thing that was more fortunate was that the ocean on Mars was a freshwater ocean, which meant that the water still did not have to worry.

"First put microorganisms and primitive organisms into the Martian ocean, there are still a lot of nutrients in the Martian ocean, and these microorganisms and primitive organisms are estimated to be able to survive and reproduce soon."

"As for the modification on land, genetic recombination technology must be used, and it is difficult for plants on the earth to find varieties that can perfectly adapt to the current Martian environment, and even if they can be found, there is no way to meet our requirements."

Liu Daoming thought about it and nodded and said.

The so-called genetic recombination technology is similar to transgenic technology, which is essentially the collection of different genes of different organisms, and then these genes are fused together to create new organisms.

This technology is very common, such as genetically modified corn, genetically modified soybeans, genetically modified rice, etc., which are actually using genetically modified technology, which is a small branch of genetic recombination technology, and the genes of other plants are relatively small.

Mainly in order to prevent pests and diseases, increase yield, etc., the real genetic recombination technology, it is very extensive, because the core of life is determined by genes, using powerful gene technology, you can genetically recombine the whole body of species according to your own needs.

For example, if you need a certain plant to tolerate drought, you can add drought-tolerant genes to it, and if you want to speed up its growth, you should add genes that grow and reproduce quickly.

The climate of Mars is particularly severe now, and most of the plants on the earth have not been able to survive on Mars, and only a few drought-tolerant plants can survive on Mars.

But if you rely on drought-tolerant plants to modify Mars, it will be too slow, and you have to incorporate genes that can grow quickly, so you have to take advantage of this technology.

"There is no rush to transform the Martian land, we still have time, and there will be a large number of asteroids hitting Mars next."

"We can now start by modifying the oceans of Mars, how is this cyanobacteria cultivated? Is it enough? ”

At this time, Qin Yi walked over, looked at his two students, and asked with a smile.

"Headmaster~"

Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan hurriedly said respectfully.

"We've cultivated more than 1 million samples of cyanobacteria, as well as more than 5 million microbial samples and 5 million lichen samples ready to be released on Mars."

Liu Daoming replied immediately without thinking.

The cyanobacteria and microbes he said are among the most tenacious species on Earth, and the current Martian ocean is like heaven for these creatures, which is very conducive to their reproduction and growth.

Perhaps the land of Mars is off-limits to life on Earth, but the oceans of Mars are definitely much, much better than the early oceans on Earth.

The early oceans on Earth gave birth to primitive life on Earth, and the oceans on Mars also allowed these cyanobacteria, microorganisms and so on to live and multiply.

"Well, let's put cyanobacteria, microorganisms, and lichens on Mars to see how things go."

When Qin Yi heard this, he thought about it and said.

The transformation of Mars has not yet been completed, and there will be a large number of asteroids to impact Mars in the future, which is tantamount to catastrophic for other organisms, but it will not have much impact on these cyanobacteria, microorganisms, lichens and the like.

"Yes~"

Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan replied in unison.

Soon, hundreds of small anti-gravity spacecraft flew to Mars from the outer space of Mars, preparing to release the cultivated cyanobacteria and microbial samples into the Martian ocean.

These spacecraft flew headlong into Mars, and soon came to the ocean of Mars, at an altitude of 100 meters from the ocean of Mars, constantly flying, dropping a small thing at a certain distance.

The small thing dropped is a vessel with cyanobacteria and various microorganisms, which also has a large number of nutrients, which are the preliminary nutrients for these cyanobacteria and microorganisms, and after falling into the ocean of Mars from above, the vessel is directly broken, and all microorganisms are directly exposed to the environment of Mars.

How many of these microorganisms will be killed directly because they can't adapt to the Martian environment, and how many microorganisms will be produced because they can adapt to the Martian environment, it is not known for the time being, and it will take a certain amount of time for them to adapt, survive and reproduce.

There are also many small space shuttles flying at low altitude over the land of the southern hemisphere of Mars, but they fly at very high altitude and at a very slow speed, and the planes are also constantly being dropped east-west to the ground.

The organisms put into the land are different from those put into the ocean, and the marine environment is completely incomparable with the environment on the ground, after all, the temperature of the ocean is relatively stable, and there is water needed for life, but the temperature difference on land is huge, and the current Martian land water loss is very fast, and there is a shortage of water.

However, in the evolutionary history of hundreds of millions of organisms on the earth, many land plants with strong vitality have evolved, and this time the scientists of the Institute of Biology selected the oldest and most tenacious plant in the plant kingdom - lichens.

In the plant world, lichens are the most tenacious.

According to experiments, lichens can grow at a low temperature of minus 273 degrees Celsius, remain viable for 6 years under vacuum conditions, and survive at temperatures twice as high as boiling water, so it can grow in deserts, Antarctica, the North Pole, and even on the backs of large sea turtles.

There are more than 500 genera and more than 26,000 species of lichens known in the world. From the poles to the equator, from mountains to plains, from forests to deserts, lichens grow everywhere.

Lichens can be described as a miracle in the evolution of life on Earth.

Lichens not only have tenacious vitality, rich and powerful family members, but also have a very wide range of roles, improving the soil environment, photosynthesis to release oxygen, animal food, human edible lichens also have a long history......

That's why the scientists at the Institute of Biology chose lichens, because they are the plants that are most likely to adapt to the harsh climate of Mars, and at the same time have a very important role in later modifications.

A large number of spaceships continue to sow the seeds of life on Mars, and these seeds of life will face a new severe test of life evolution, the adaptors will shine on Mars, and the losers will become the nutrients of others, all of which are survival of the fittest.
