With the continuous improvement of irrigation facilities on the Martian continent, the green area of Pangea is getting bigger and bigger, starting from the coastal areas of Pangea and slowly spreading to the interior of Pangea, every day the green world expands a circle, and the desert area of Pangea will shrink to the middle!

At the same time, the people of Qingquan Technology, who know that Mars is full of Yuanli, have accelerated the transformation of the Martian continent and the transformation of the Martian ocean!

The ocean of Mars is a freshwater ocean!

In fact, the original sea water on the earth was not full of salt at the beginning, it was also fresh water like river water at first, but the water on the earth is constantly circulating, and a large amount of water evaporates on the surface of the ocean every year, and part of the water is transported to the land through atmospheric movement, and then forms precipitation and then falls to the ground, scouring the soil, destroying rocks, and bringing soluble substances on land (mostly various salts) to the rivers, and the rivers and rivers return to the sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As a result, about 3 billion tonnes of salt are brought into the ocean every year, and the ocean becomes a shelter for all dissolved salts. In the evaporation of seawater, the salts of the income cannot be lifted with the water vapor, so they have to stay in the ocean, and so on, the salts in the ocean accumulate more and more, and the seawater in the earth's oceans becomes more and more salty.

The seawater of the Martian ocean is the same as the original seawater of the early earth, it has not gone through a long history of water cycle, and there is no large amount of salt dissolved into it, so the seawater of the Martian ocean is freshwater! A huge ocean of freshwater!

Qingquan Technology has tried to put a large number of freshwater plants, such as aquatic plants, goldfish algae, water grass, lotus, royal lotus, water hyacinth and other freshwater plants that can be found on the earth, into the huge freshwater ocean of Mars.

At the same time, scientists from the Institute of Biology also recombined the DNA of seawater plants, and replaced the genes adapted to saltwater with freshwater genes to form new species, and all of them were put into the ocean of Mars.

The largest area on earth is the ocean, which has countless marine plants, and there are more than 10 phyla and more than 10,000 kinds of algae alone! Among them, there are more than 6,000 varieties of diatoms!

If you want to transform the ocean of Mars, these are naturally not to be missed, compared to the plant species of the ocean, the number of plants in the freshwater of the earth is simply insignificant!

Of course, this is also the result of evolutionary development, the earliest life on the earth was born in the ocean, and then slowly developed to the continent, the same is true for the plants in the water, the freshwater plants on the earth are all freshwater plants in the ocean, and even the plants on the earth's land are all evolved from marine plants.

From this, we can also know that freshwater plants are more advanced than saltwater plants! Freshwater plants are higher plants in the water, mainly seed plants and ferns, excluding algae and mosses, they are very water-tolerant and can grow on soil with saturated water for a long time.

The plants in the earth's oceans are primary producers, and many of them are still based on basic cell structures such as algae, and the way to reproduce is also simple cell division or reproduction through spores.

However, because of their simple structure and long evolutionary history, the plants in seawater have many species and different forms, and are the basis for the existence of other organisms on the earth.

……

At present, there are only cyanobacteria and microorganisms in the sea water of Mars, and the rate of reproduction is very fast!

Space shuttles flew over the ocean of Mars, dropping countless biological seeds, with artificial intervention, and these plants that would have taken hundreds of millions of years to evolve were directly distributed very evenly into the huge ocean of Mars.

In fact, as expected by the people of Qingquan Technology, under the abundant Yuan Force of Mars, the plants put into the Martian ocean grow very well, and these plants grow more lush than on the earth, and one of the main manifestations is the huge size!

Wang Lian, an aquatic plant on the earth, has a leaf diameter of up to 2 meters when it is on the earth, and there are many large cavities in the leaves and leaf veins, which are filled with gas, so that the leaves float on the surface of the water, and can carry 70 kilograms on the top of the leaves, which is equivalent to the weight of an adult!

After arriving here on Mars, these royal lotuses are even bigger and amazing, with a diameter of up to ten meters, like a huge lid, which can withstand tons of objects!

If a large piece of Wang Lian is linked together, it is like an island spread on the sea, which is very spectacular!

At the same time, in the ocean water of Mars, a plant world like a forest on the earth is slowly formed!

Aquatic plants, the inconspicuous thing on the earth, have become like forests on the earth in the ocean of Mars, and each aquatic plant is a huge forest under the water!

The current environment of Mars seems to be very suitable for the growth of aquatic plants, aquatic plants can grow to a height of tens of meters here, its trunk is as thick as a tree, and there are countless branches and leaves, all of which are very huge and luxuriant.

The ocean in Mars is very transparent, and if you don't look carefully at the ocean, you will have the illusion that this is a forest on land!

When you see the bend that follows the current, you realize that it is actually in the ocean!

The forests under the seabed and the islands of floating plants are slowly forming on the surface of the water, and the area of these islands is getting bigger and bigger, many of them are like real islands, and the plants on them are like the forests on the islands!

……

The gravity on Mars is smaller than that of the Earth, the atmosphere is thinner, the sunlight will not weaken too much, the carbon dioxide in the air is thicker, there are no animals to feed here, and more importantly, Mars is now very abundant, which can greatly promote the growth and evolution of life.

The very dwarf aquatic plants on the earth have all undergone earth-shaking changes here on Mars, and they have been magnified many times, some even dozens or hundreds of times.

At this time, Ji You and others were collecting specimens on the ocean of Mars, and the huge space shuttle was quietly suspended above the sea, sticking to the sea!

At the same time, behind the space shuttle's butt, a huge hatch opened, and a strangely shaped diving instrument with many cutting arms began to slowly sink into the water.

"In just one year, the ocean of Mars has turned out to be a green forest world, faster than the speed at which we are greening in the Pangea continent!" Ji You looked at the clear and transparent sea water below, the boundless forest that kept drifting with the current in the seawater, and couldn't help but sigh!

Under the water, the diving equipment sank to a depth of several hundred meters, and found a kelp-like water plant, yes, it can only be said to be a kelp-like plant!

Because this kelp is so big!

Kelp is a large marine brown algae plant that grows in low-temperature seawater, can grow up to 20 meters on the earth, and after arriving on Mars, this kelp grows directly from the bottom of the sea to the sea, with a length of several hundred meters, its huge leaf surface is like a huge wall, with a width of tens of meters, a thickness of several meters!

Its roots are like a huge tree, with a diameter of more than ten meters, huge and luxuriant roots, deeply rooted in the soil of the seabed, no matter how the impact of the sea water, it has no impact on it, very firm!

"Head, the submersible has reached the bottom of the sea, and the plants under the water are so lush that the sharp knives of the submersible are almost entangled!" Ji You's acceptance reported the progress through the communicator.

"That's kelp, it's like a giant tree!" Ji You looked at the picture teleported under the water, the bottom of the kelp was too big, more than ten meters in diameter, and there were not many big trees on the earth that were so big!

"Chop this kelp, let's eat kelp at night!"

The submersible under the water emitted a white dazzling light that swept directly over the roots of this huge kelp, and the diameter of more than ten meters was directly cut into two sections, and even the other aquatic plants next to it were also affected, all of which were cut into two sections by the white light, and floated up with the current.

The diving machine shoots a sharp hook that plunges into the kelp's massive flesh and floats upward, on top of which the giant shuttle has been prepared.

The winch was pulled slowly, and the giant kelp was slowly pulled out of the water, and the turquoise kelp, with its huge volume, directly stuffed the rear compartment of the large space shuttle, and it was really impossible to fit it in the back, so it could only be cut off.

"How many people can eat this kelp?" Ji You looked at the giant kelp in the back warehouse and couldn't help but sigh!

"Its mass is dozens of tons, one person is counted as 1 catty, it is enough for tens of thousands of people to eat a meal!"

"But I'm skeptical about its taste, after all, how thick it is, the fiber must be very coarse, and the taste must not be good!"

"It's hard to say, the lotus seed we picked last time was the size of a basketball, and it tasted very sweet and crisp, I think the taste of this kelp should be okay!"

"Don't say it, the taste of that lotus seed is really good, I eat it every day now, but this lotus seed is too big, we used to cut watermelon on Earth to eat, and when we arrived on Mars, we cut lotus seeds to eat!"

"This aquatic plant grows so huge on Mars, if you put some aquatic animals into this ocean in the future, won't it turn the sky upside down?"

"Hard to say! But I'm thinking that the seafood in the Martian waters will taste very good in the future, well, I'm drooling just thinking about it! ”
