When the super sandstorm of Mars swept over Xuanwu 3, many staff members sitting in Xuanwu 3, although the sound insulation performance of Xuanwu 3 was very good, but at this time they could still hear the howling wind and the sound of those sand and gravels in the storm hitting Xuanwu 3, fortunately Xuanwu 3's armor was very strong.

Even if there is a super sandstorm blowing outside, it is still firmly on the ground for Xuanwu 3, not even shaking, at this time, according to the data on Xuanwu 3, the wind speed of the super sandstorm outside has reached an unprecedented level of 21.

It is important to know that such an aeolian sandstorm is absolutely impossible to form on Earth, and only in an environment like Mars can there be such a superstorm.

It was the super sandstorm that lasted for five days before the weather calmed down.

When the sandstorm calmed down, although the dust in the sky was still very large, and even the sun could not be seen clearly, there was not much obstacle for the staff to detect Mars, so as soon as the storm ended, the staff began to continue to collect samples of Mars.

However, due to the rain and Martian sandstorms, the holes that were originally drilled have been reburied by the sandstorms, so they had to be re-drilled.

And although the sandstorm did not cause any damage to Xuanwu 3 this time, the wind, sand, stones, etc. brought by the sandstorm have submerged nearly half of the tall Xuanwu 3, so it is definitely impossible to collect in the original area, and you need to re-select the location and then collect.

So this time, the staff on Xuanwu 3 set the collection location 3,000 meters away from where they are now.

After Xuanwu 3 recovered the fixed drill bit, then started the anti-gravity engine to 3,000 meters away from their original position, and after stopping, they began to do the work they had not completed.

Xuanwu 3, on the other hand, restarted drilling and re-collected soil samples at different depths, which is divided into more than a dozen samples at different depths to be collected for Mars.

"Turning the head to a depth of 110 meters, start collecting samples."

"Once the sample is collected, keep drilling down!"

As the work proceeded in an orderly manner, various real-time data were transmitted back to the Pioneer one after another, and then the Pioneer research ship used high-power quantum communication equipment to transmit it back to Earth.

However, since the place where they collected the samples this time was at the south pole of Mars, when their drill bit drilled below ten meters above the ground, the samples collected were no longer soil samples, but the frozen layer of the south pole of Mars.

Due to the extremely low temperature at the south pole of Mars, although no samples of water resources have been collected on Mars, the ice is made up of carbon dioxide due to the extremely cold weather.

However, as the drill bit continued to drill down, when the depth reached 1,500 meters, the situation had a new change, because at this time, the collected dry ice was no longer composed of carbon dioxide, but ice frozen from water, after all, although the equipment on the Xuanwu 3 was relatively simple, but it was still possible to distinguish the difference between dry ice and ice.

This discovery is very exciting for the personnel on the Xuanwu 3 and Pioneer research ships, because the existence of water means that there may be life on Mars, after all, water as the source of life is not called for nothing.

When the drill bit drilled to two thousand meters, the situation had a new change, because when drilling to this depth, the head suddenly sank down, and the experienced staff immediately judged the situation below, and through the sensor of the drill bit, the staff on the Xuanwu 3 found that the area they drilled into was no longer ice.

Instead, it drilled into the liquid layer, and the staff inside the Xuanwu 3 immediately judged that the drill bit had drilled into the real liquid water area.

After all, the liquid carbon dioxide layer has been encountered as early as about a thousand meters, so there is no liquid carbon dioxide in this area theoretically, after all, according to the previous data, although most of the core of Mars has been solidified, it has not been completely cooled, so when the drill bit drills to a certain extent, the lower the temperature, so at this depth, the speed has reached about zero degrees, so there is no liquid carbon dioxide at this temperature. So the liquid is most likely the water they're looking for.

However, although the staff on the Xuanwu 3 and Pioneer research ships judged that more than 90% of the water resources below were liquid water resources, after all, they had not collected samples for analysis, so they could not speculate without evidence, so in this case, the staff on the Xuanwu 3 immediately collected the liquid below.

After the sample was collected and analyzed, they were very excited, the liquid layer below was real water as they thought, and the presence of liquid water meant that there was a high probability of life in the area.

If there is really life on Mars, it will be a very significant discovery for mankind, although the Ming Empire and the Ruhr people broke out in the new area of Pangea before, and the Ruer people were wiped out.

Let human beings know that they are not alone in the universe, but if life is found on other planets in the solar system, then scientists can judge that the density of life in the universe is far beyond their imagination, then they can judge that the number of intelligent life in the universe is far greater than the previous assessment, so the existence of life on Mars is of great significance to the entire human race.

After all, compared to the Earth, the environment of Mars is extremely harsh, and if there is still life under such extremely harsh conditions, then it is conceivable how many intelligent life there are in the entire galaxy and the entire universe.

After the collection, he turned his head and began to continue downward, after all, the temperature in this area is still relatively low, although there is a possibility of life, but the further down the temperature will definitely be, the higher the possibility of life.

As they turned their heads and continued to descend, the staff found that the depth of this area was beyond their imagination, and the depth of the entire water layer had exceeded 3,000 meters since it began to enter the water layer, and now the temperature of the water in this area has reached about 10 degrees above zero, which is very suitable for the survival of life.

At this time, the detector on the drill bit sensed the existence of light, which was a very surprising discovery for the staff on the Xuanwu 3 and Pioneer, after all, they had not vented the existence of light before, you must know that the depth of the drill bit at this time has reached nearly 10,000 meters from the ground, and there is something emitting light at such a depth, so it is most likely life.
