Chapter 293: Reaching Venus
After all, in such deep water, the light is absolutely impenetrable, and the area that Zhu Lei and they drilled, in addition to ice and carbon dioxide, is about 100 meters above the Martian ground, and is also covered with a thick layer of sand, so the possibility of light penetrating has been ruled out without thinking.
And it is impossible for Mars itself to emit light, after all, the core of Mars has mostly solidified, so the possibility of a Martian volcano below is very small, so this possibility is basically ruled out.
The rest are the ores that can emit light, and most of the minerals that can emit light in nature carry strong radiation, and the detector on the drill bit of the drill does not sense the presence of radiation nearby, so this possibility has been ruled out.
Finally, there is the light emitted by life, and this possibility is very high, after all, when the depth of the sea water reaches more than 10,000 meters on the earth, the light no longer exists in this area at this time, but life has evolved a light source that can emit light in order to adapt to the existence of the environment, and the situation under Mars is very similar to the bottom of the earth, so the possibility of life below is very high.
As the drill bit of the drilling rig continues to sink downward, there are more and more light spots that can shine below, and as time goes by, the staff on the Xuanwu 3 gradually see more and more light sources in the water through the miniature camera on the drill bit, just like the stars in the sky, seeing this landscape, the staff on the Xuanwu 3 are very sure that this is life on Mars, although they are not sure whether the life on Mars is composed of carbon-based like humans.
But now that they've discovered the existence of life, they can know the composition of life on Mars just by examining these life forms.
As the drill bits of the drilling rig gradually moved closer to these light-emitting light sources, the staff on the Xuanwu No. 3 were finally able to see the light-emitting objects.
As the scientists thought, the objects that emit light are life, and the staff can be sure that the life that emits light is a plant, and this plant looks similar to the species on Earth.
After all, although they have some experimental instruments, if they want to further explore the genetic nature of living organisms, then the experimental instruments on Xuanwu 3 and Pioneer will be powerless.
So these plant samples can only be brought back to Earth for study, and they found these plants that can emit light in the water at the bottom of Mars, so they must have more advanced creatures on Mars, such as animals.
In the subsequent exploration, the harvest of Xuanwu 3 was very gratifying, not only did they collect samples of these plants that emit light, but in the subsequent exploration, they found some other plants in the water, and near these plants, they were very shocked to find organisms similar to the early fish life on the earth.
After Xuanwu 3 completed the collection at the south pole of Mars, it returned to Vanguard, and then put all the samples collected in Xue Fenghou's warehouse, and then Xuanwu 3 began to collect samples from other regions of Mars, after all, Mars is the same as Earth, the environment of each region is completely different, and the temperature is also uneven.
Therefore, the collection of samples on Mars must be collected in many places, so as to be able to comprehensively collect the most basic data on Mars, and the data collection of the atmosphere is naturally carried out by drones, after all, although Xuanwu 3 is also equipped with an anti-gravity engine, it can be Xuanwu 3 flying in the sky like an airplane, but the energy consumed is quite huge, so the task of collecting atmospheric data is handed over to these drones.
Although they came out with enough energy this time, every bit of energy in the process of exploring Mars at that time was very precious, and for completely unnecessary energy output, it was like using Xuanwu 3 to collect air data in the atmosphere, which was completely unnecessary waste, and it could also be said to be a knife for killing chickens.
While the personnel on Xuanwu 3 continued to explore various parts of Mars, a small spacecraft to Venus also arrived near Venus.
Although Venus was known as the sister star of the earth in the previous life of the lease, human beings have repeatedly proposed the feasibility of transforming the model, and before it came out, it was also proposed many times in various science fiction movies to transform Venus, but due to the limitations of human science and technology, and the environment of Venus is more harsh than that of Mars, so until Zhu Lei crossed over, human beings still had dreams of transforming Venus, after all, it was very difficult for human beings to even land on the moon before they came out to cross.
But the human beings in this world, due to the influence of Zhu Lei, human aerospace technology is now, far beyond Zhu Lei's previous life, but for the understanding of Venus, this world is far from the level of Zhu Lei's previous life, although in the past ten years, the Ming Empire has also launched many probes to Venus, and also sent back some data, but most of the probes can only observe Venus in space near Venus.
And some other probes that landed on Venus, although they also sent back some information, but in fact it is not very much, after all, the environment of Venus is too harsh, although the Ming Empire is now very advanced in science and technology, but in all the probes that landed on Venus, there have only been a few successful cases so far, and most of these probes that landed on Venus will be destroyed by the warm environment on Venus within ten hours.
After all, the temperature on Venus is too high, the average temperature on Venus has reached nearly 500 degrees, such a high temperature is very fatal for the probe to detect Venus, although the shells of these probes are all special alloys, and there are many special metals with very good high temperature resistance, but after all, it is only high temperature resistance, and it cannot directly isolate the impact of the Martian environment on the entire probe. Moreover, the various electronic equipment in the detector can work for more than ten hours in such a high temperature environment, which is already very good.
Although the science and technology of the Ming Empire in this world is very developed, the understanding of Venus is far from reaching the level of Zhu Lei's previous life, although Venus is the closest planet to the earth except Mars, but in fact, in this world, the Ming Empire and the scientists in the Ming Empire attach far from the importance of this planet to the extent of Mars.
Especially ten years ago, the Ming Empire launched many probes to Venus, but most of these probes were unsuccessful in the process of landing on Venus, so in the next ten years, the Ming Empire began to lose patience with the exploration of Venus, and began to focus on Mars, and Mars was very smooth in several explorations, and even the Ming Empire launched more than a dozen unmanned probes to Mars, landing on Mars, but these dozen launches did not fail a case, it can be said that the exploration of Venus and the exploration of Mars are completely two extremes.
